It is probably the same problem as I experienced.
I experienced the following:
My machine was connected with dialup to the internet. It had a caching
DNS. If I was not connected to the internet all requests to the POP3 port
worked the following way: a long wait before the POP3 server greeted the
client. Afterward it worked normally.
It was due to the long time to resolve a DNS query, since there was no
connection to the internet and the hint zones were in the DNS config, so
it tried to ask them. It of course took a long time to timeout all
connections to the unreachable hint servers.
The solution was to took out hints from the DNS if not connected to the
internet.

It does need. I have ezmlm-idx from the potato package. It still needs
modifying the file inlocal.

Oops. I should have mentioned that ezmlm-idx doesn't need you to make
these changes ONLY if you use qmail >= 1.02. If you have qmail 1.01,
then you still need these changes.

I use ezmlm-idx version 0.53 + 0.313 and qmail 1.03 and it still needs me
to modify inlocal. Period. Otherwise subscription and other addresses
won't work. Or posting to the list. One of the two, I don't remember
exactly, only that I need to modify inlocal.

You can instruct qmail when building to use another character as a
separator.

Hello Len,
I've hacked the serialcmd.c file in your maildircmd-1.0.patch.
Changing
if (!stralloc_catulong0(&line,age,7)) die_nomem();
env_put2("AGE",line.s);
/* Initialize a substdio buffer. */
substdio_fdbuf(&ssmess,read,fd,messbuf,sizeof messbuf);
into
if (!stralloc_catulong0(&line,age,7)) die_nomem();
env_put2("AGE",line.s);
/* Put filename in env */
env_put2("FILENAME",fnam.s);
/* Initialize a substdio buffer. */
substdio_fdbuf(&ssmess,read,fd,messbuf,sizeof messbuf);
makes maildircmd passing the filename of the currently
being processed message to the command it's running, using
the FILENAME environment variable. I think this is a
usefull additional feature. (For me it is :-)
BTW, command needs to combine PWD and FILENAME to
contruct the full pathname of the file it's reading
on it's stdin.
Could you consider adding this feature to maildircmd?
Kind Regards,
Joost van Baal

Yes. It's very important to carefully hew to an arbirtrary date

Hi
How should I stop all the incoming executable Email attachments thru Qmail

Only by writing an external filter, and funneling all mail through the
external filter.
This is not, exactly, a trivial job, and will require extensive
modifications of your Qmail setup. The specific steps are highly
dependent on your particular and unique Qmail configuration. You'll have
to arrange for Qmail to divert all mail to an external program. Then, you
will have to write this external program, that parses the message
according to RFC 2045, in order to detect attachments. Afterwards, the
message needs to be reinjected into the mail queue, with the recipient
envelope address slightly altered so that the mail ends up being delivered
to its original recipient, somehow.
Depending on your particular qmail setup, this may be accomplished by
reconfigured control/smtproutes, control/virtualdomains, or by having a
second instance of Qmail compiled and running, or via any one of several
other ways. The right approach depends, again, upon your individual
situation, which only you know.
Hopefully you just didn't realize that you have to implement this within
the next 24 hours. You should've started on this at least a month ago.
Mail servers, generally, do not care -- and should not care -- about
message contents (except in very few isolated situations) so implementing
something like that would clearly require major work.

With a few minor changes you could make good use of my qmail-mrtg
script. It only works with daemontools-0.53, not -0.61.

I'm using something like this now, but perl could understand the old
timestamps of 0.53, not those of 0.61. Now I have to take the 9th to 17th
character from the new timestamps and convert these back to decimals, so I
can compare with the usual perl timestamps. I find this kind of slugish and
am looking for a better way.

Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade from version 3.1.2 of vchkpw and to the new 3.4.10a
vpopmail, but something goes wrong it seems.
It's said that it should generate the vpasswd.cdb files automagically during
install, but it doesn't...just leaves the normal vpasswd files there, and
this gives problems of course.
I have not stated that it should use mysql or anything, so i don't think the
problem would be there.
this last time i just installed as follows:
./configure
make clean
make
make install-strip (could it be here?)

You want to use holdremote patch if you want to do that without
restarts.
Otherwise, you might want to set concurrencyremote to 0, stop
qmail-send, wait for all the qmail-remotes to die, and run
qmail-start. (Yuck.)

Each MTA in those tests delivered the same set of test messages. What
you should look at is the shape of the curve and the time-to-
completion. Higher DNS and SMTP rates is generally associated with
higher performance, but a clever MTA can avoid extraneous DNS lookups
and minimize SMTP connections, so that doesn't tell the whole story.

DSN is basically a set of standards for bounce messages. It's big and
clumsy, but that's not the real problem with it. The real problem is
that not all MTA's support it. If it was universal, it'd be OK. But
that's not going to happen any time soon.
VERP is a mechanism for processing bounces reliably, independent of
the format of the bounce. As long as an MTA sends bounces to the
envelope return path (ERP), as 99% of them do, VERP will correctly
identify the bouncing address.
VERP works with both DSN and non-DSN bounces.
DSN-based bounce handlers only work with DSN bounces.

Perhaps I'm a little bit stupid but could you tell me/us how we can get
some more information out of the above site? The only result were
different japanese signs. Using another charset than japanese resulted
in not understandable `ascii`-code.
Does there exist a non-japanese translation/mirror?

In my original message I suggested looking at the graphs. They're
labeled in English, and pretty easy to decipher.

So perhaps we can get one :-)

If you want to be a true purist, I would say that the MILLENNIUM (two L's,
two N's, kids :P) began three or four years ago (exactly when, it would be
difficult to determine).
The current calendar was based on Dionysius Exiguss' estimation of when
Jesus was born, using religious writings and gospels from The Bible as a
guideline for the determination. He began numbering the years "Anno Domini"
(the year of our lord) with number "1 (one)", since (back then) the Romans
had no clue about the number "0 (zero)".
Unfortunately, nearly every modern scholar agrees that Dionysius' got it
wrong. It is generally known (in those circles) that Jesus was born some
time between 7 BC and 4 BC (using Dionysius' current calendrics). Most, in
fact, believe that he was born in 4 BC, when Herod died.
---[ Following text (c) 1997-1999 "Countdown 2000, Inc." ]---
---[ begin quote ]---
Two thousand years from the period January 1, 8 B.C. through December 31, 4
B.C. is January 1, 1993 through December 31, 1997 (remember there was no
year zero, hence the seeming addition error). Thus, by most accounts the
second millennium from the birth of Christ was, in all cases, concluded by
December 31st, 1997.
---[ end quote ]---
So, no matter when we all believe the Millennium began, it's a silly, stupid
argument. The vast majority of Earth's human inhabitants (the small
percentage of Earth's life that cares about such things) will be celebrating
tomorrow night. In light of that, ladies and gentlement, have a pint of
Guinness for me, and Happy New Millennium!

Basically the mail server appears to accept a message for delivery and then is unable
to create the disk files necessary to queue the message up. Has anyone seen anything
like this before, or have anything they can point me to that can help me figure out
what is going on. The disk appears to be okay, and these messages are not a constant
problem. In fact, we haven't seen it for the past 3 days or so, and suddenly there
were 20 messages that were not sent because of the above error.

There is a script on the qmail site that will rebuild the que
structure.... also check the permissions and free space.

If you are using the original version of my patch there is an open() call
whose return status isn't checked for quota. I have an updated patch
available. Let me know if you'd like diffs against the original (virgin)
qmail source files, or a patch to the patch and I'll send it on to you.

Is there a patch to qmail, with which I can send

the number of files in the Mailbox exceeds the allowed

sends a permanent error when the sum of messages
exceeds the quota size.
My problem is, that I have some users which never empty
their mailbox, but are members of some maillists. And
now this fills my queue and log files.

Two questions, what is a "qmail developer", and "what did he do?".

I am getting lots of stuck messages in one queue headed for another
machine on our network. I can telnet to the receiving machine's port 25
and it works fine, mail is delivered. But mail submitted to the "outgoing"
machines queue just stays there.
The mail log on the outgoing server hsd lots of these type entries:
Dec 30 22:26:49 6C:ella qmail: 946592809.255138 delivery 1869: deferral:
Sorry,_I_couldn't_find_any_host_by_that_name._(#4.1.2)/
Dec 30 22:26:49 6C:ella qmail: 946592809.255726 delivery 1868: deferral:
Sorry,_I_couldn't_find_any_host_by_that_name_(#4.1.2)/
and there are no entries on the log on the receiving server.
I can successfully send mail out of the "receiving" server using
qmail-inject. Just can't receive it...
I have seen several entries in the FAQ and have searched the archives, but
still no luck. I have definitely RTFM'd.
My guess is that there may be a problem with the controls files or
something. And I am sure dns is working...
Any ideas?
I thought everyone would enjoy knowing that Sony Pictures is using qmail
for their web site autoresponder.

The surprising thing is that they're not using VERP. I designed a
bounce handler for XOOM.com that tracks bouncing addresses, and probes
them ten days after the first bounce. Everything goes through a
honking big database, so that bounce information is propagated across
all mailing that they do.
Then, again, maybe sonypictures is discarding your email addresses
after they autorespond to you. You'd think they'd at least try to
find out who talks to them.

No. Unfortunately, it's *way* too customized for the XOOM.com
environment -- their particular mix of machines, OS's, database,
sending of emails, plus some custom patches to qmail-remote (which
implements a subset of a TRAC(tm) interpreter) to make life more
interesting.

Hello.. everyone..
Now.. I want to deliver large files to my email messenger..
My problem is that qmail is locking when I try to deliver large file
(about over 1Mbyte) from my UNIX Mailbox to Windows messenger. So I
could not see my email. Now my Mailbox size is 13M.. How I can see my
large mail?? Can the qmail deliver large email to local mail user??
Please let me know how to do it..
My email is [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Send me an email to here...

Messages to you seem to have been bouncing. I've attached a copy of

bounces,
I will remove your address from the mailing list, without further
notice.
I've kept a list of which messages bounced from your address. Copies of
these messages may be in the archive. To get message 12345 from the

how is this possible.. what is going on..
Has anyone noticed that if you have your hardware clock set to UTC
but the Linux clock to local time, that regular messages have the
local time time-stamp, but bounce messages are dated in UTC?
After messing with this a while, I decided to just just put my HW
clock on local time, to heck with UTC and DST. Comments?

Hi,
just a quickie: does qmailanalog handle the timestamps from the new
