The latest tarball of AMaViS (0.2.0-pre6-clm-rl-4 ) is not handling virtualdomains
very well. Have anyone made a patch for this do work. I also appended -f{mailfrom} in
scanmails.in:
cat <<EOF| ${sendmail_wrapper} -i -t -f${mailfrom}
to get rid of the anoying [EMAIL PROTECTED] as the sender.
The recipient address should have their virtualdomains pre- stripped. You see what I
mean looking at the log file I have appended.

It sounds like you are running out of some kind of resource. Study the
fields that can be set in /etc/system. If this is not an option, try
lowering remote-concurrency. I suspect you are running out of
filedescriptors somewhere.

I had this problem incessantly with my ezmlm+idx lists. It turned out to be
stray ^M characters in the headers that were being added to each message.
Why it only turned up in *some* messages is beyond me.

I don't really know what you mean by "bungle up". I had a problem with
outlook which was the reason that I went to Eudora Pro (no problems with
Eudora Pro, BTW). The problem with outlook was that every once in a while
I would receive a message that had something minor missing in the header.
Some times it was an opening quote, but no end, or an opening parend, but
no close. Outlook would just hang when trying to download that message.
The temporary solution was to log onto the email server, delete that one
message (it was always spam), then continue downloading messages.
BTW, with Eudora Pro, you don't have to sign in and out of different
profiles to download email from different accounts.

Neither do you have to with outlook express 5, but you can have different profiles
that download from several mail accounts each.

I used outlook for some time before other problems with it made me switch

With Outlook 2000 you don't have to sign in and out either. Nor with
Outlook 98, or Outlook 97 with the Internet Mail extensions.

Cop out my #@$#! Reading this list for years, have I ever seen
a bungled mail? Nope.
I swear we must have a thousand clients that use Outlook products.
What a bloody tech support nightmare. Glad it's not my primary
job. Strange how many list participants these days use outlook
products. hmmm.
Q: I'm trying to send a mail to my friend Horowitz. Outlook
is saying "There is no transport provider available." You're
my "transport provider," fix your mail server!
A: Use another mailer.
Q: I'm trying to retrieve my email, and it's getting stuck on message
number four. What's wrong with your mail server [ check message
number four, looks like any other normal email. Don't feel like doing
a blasted hexdump to see why outlook is choking ].
A: Use another mailer.
Aaron
> A: Use another mailer.
Show me a Win32 mailer that has integrated contact management, journalling,
and scheduling, along with a word-based junk mail and adult mail filter,
with a little bit of programmability tossed in for good measure, and I'm
sold.
Until then, I would have to guess that the problem isn't actually with
Outlook itself, but some other step along the way. Sure, Pine displays the
messages fine -- it's quite lenient when it comes to messaging standards.
But somewhere out there, someone's sending mail that, either by their own
MUA or MTA, or the qmail-list's MTA, is not comformant to standards.
Someone has mentioned previously that messages that have too many newlines
in the header (or something of that nature) will cause Outlook 2000 to barf.
Well, then -- a message like that violates the RFC's for e-mail, doesn't it?
Or am I wrong here.
People say the same thing about Netscape / IE when a page doesn't appear
right. However, usually, it's the fault of the source HTML. A missing
quote or closing tag bracket may be ignored by one browser, and look really
odd in another one (one that's more strict).
I guess the bottom line is: When it comes to reading e-mail, Outlook 2000
(et. al.) are strict in what they're expecting, and messages that violate
the related standards cause it to choke in some fashion or another.
To help debug this, I have enclosed a message that recently showed up in
Outlook with no "From:" in the message list, and with all message headers in
the body of the message (Outlook doesn't display any message headers, its
only fault, IMHO).

I have a hard time believing that Outlook is just being strict on
RFCs, since it's usually M$ that breaks the RFCs in the first place, and
since Outlook seems to be the only mailer having this problem...
Anyways, why do you need a journal and scheduler built into your MUA?

Gnus running under XEmacs on Win32 certainly has the programmability and
the filtering capabilities, it's a full-blown editor with pretty extensive
capabilities for filing sent mail and keeping track of time and the like
so journalling is probably easily doable although I'm not quite sure what
you mean, and bbdb is a better contact management package than I've seen
anywhere else. Unfortunately, that does leave scheduling, which so far as
I know it doesn't do.

I still am finding this somewhat unlikely. qmail itself is unlikely to be
at fault, as it really doesn't do much to message bodies at all, and I
somehow don't think ezmlm has bugs that have gone unnoticed this long in
terms of standard compliance.

Depends on what that person specifically meant. Newlines certainly aren't
illegal in message headers.

This really hasn't been my experience with Outlook.

Well, your enclosed message contains multiple Received headers that have
been word-wrapped; if that's actually happening before you get the
message, that would explain the problem, but I don't know how that would
be happening as I'm certainly not seeing that from messages to the list.
Take a look, though, at:

My assumption, though, is that this is being done by your MUA in the
process of sending out the mail and that the mail as you received it
didn't look like that.
The only other thing that I see here that could possibly be a problem is
that this message is labelled as being ISO-2022-JP; perhaps Outlook can't
cope correctly with that character set?
> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-2022-JP"
Other than that, the message certainly looks fully standards-compliant to
me.

My reasons for using Outlook shouldn't be under scrutiny. I use those
functions in an all-in-one program which I keep open /all the time/ during
my business day. That's enough of an explanation.
I do not believe it is entirely Outlook's fault, and I'd really like to get
down to the nitty-gritty of what causes Outlook to do that, and where the
blame truly lies. Believe me, I'd like to just say "It's Outlook 2000's
fault", that's easy and fun, but it might not be.
It's off-topic, anyway, if no one will concede that it might actually be
qmail's fault.

good evening,
i can't find documentation on how to handle unknown users when using
virtual domains. all emails destined to unknown users on my intranet is
being given to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
how do i setup .qmail-default of my virtual domain to handle this?
can you kindly point me to the right direction.
yoroshiku,
rommel.
Here's the deal...
I'm new to qmail, and I think it's just the coolest thing
I've ever seen. But I am having problems with it.
I have a domain in the rcpthosts and virtualdomains files
and I want to set up a pop account for somebody on my
domain. So I create a file called .qmail-mydomain-user
in my home directory and put "/home/user/Maildir/" in it.
When I send mail to that user, qmail cannot chdir to
/home/user/Maildir/, so the mail isn't recieved.
I've tried changing permissions on /home/user/Maildir/ but
the mail still isn't delivered... temporary error. Don't
know the reason for this.
I've tried using the users/assign method of delivering mail to
this user, but no matter what I put in the users/assign file
(even if it's empty!), and I run qmail-newu, I get the following
error:
qmail-newu: fatal: bad format in users/assign
Are there any workaround for my problem, or am I doing something
wrong? Also, what is wrong with users/assign? Just for reference,
here is the line I put in users/assign:
=myuser-mydomain-nathan:nate:1035:109:/home/nate:::
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^this is set to what I set in control/virtualdomains
like:
mydomain.com:myuser-mydomain
Any help appreciated.

Remember the dot in the last line.
If you do "echo "." > assign", then you will be able to run qmail-newu on this empty
file;)

I've released qmail-qlint 0.55. Giles Lean suggested that a null
virtualdomains left-hand-side shouldn't be expected to be in
rcpthosts.

I find some of the error messages from qmail to be quite terse. This
one perplexed me this morning:
Jan 9 11:19:14 nemeton qmail: 947377154.120073 delivery 9: deferral:
Unable_to_chdir_to_maildir._(#4.2.1)/
In this case I'd left a domain listed in 'locals' when I added it to
virtualdomains and unfortunately the user name I tested with was in
/etc/passwd but didn't have a maildir as required for default
delivery.
Providing the full pathname in the log message would have let me spot
this quickly. In general I would also like to see the value of errno
for errors from system calls.
BTW for anyone interested Russ Nelson and John Levine's qmail-lint
did pick this error up before I undertook much surgery on the qmail
source to make the error message more informative. Thanks guys!
Regards,
Giles
Looks like I've almost got qmail V1.03 up and totally running. Very strange
situation though:
I use Outlook Express 5 to get into my qmail server. I can send mail no
problem but the authentication screws up. Here is what my maillog says:
Jan 8 22:09:57 atheist pop3d: 947398197.667962 tcpserver: status: 1/40
Jan 8 22:09:57 atheist pop3d: 947398197.668956 tcpserver: pid 3518 from
192.168.0.1
Jan 8 22:09:57 atheist pop3d: 947398197.816154 tcpserver: ok 3518
adsl-xx-xxx-xx-xx.dsl.snfc21.pacbell.net:xx.xxx.xx.xx:110 :192.168.0.1::3613
Jan 8 22:09:57 atheist pop3d: 947398197.824944 tcpserver: end 3518 status
256
Jan 8 22:09:57 atheist pop3d: 947398197.825126 tcpserver: status: 0/40
(Edited out my IP address and replaced it with xx.xxx.xx.xx Also, my
internal box is correct.)
I have no idea why it's dying like this. The password IS correct and from
the log it doesn't LOOK like it's failing but I don't know how to interpret
tcpserver messages.
I've tried creating and recreating the user and using other users and still
nothing. It fails.
Anyone wanna take a stab at this? =)

hehe, I feel kinda dumb. =)
The logs didn't show the error that I was getting which confused me. But
when I went back to what I would need for authentication then I realized the
file I was missing:
checkpassword
=)
After installing that my authentication went fine. It is kinda tricky
thought cuz I checked most of the logs (or at least most of the ones that I
knew of) and there was no problem with qmail . . it wasn't reporting the
fact that it couldn't find checkpassword.
Anyways, in case anyone else has this problem, that's the solution. You
NEED checkpassword for any type of POP3 authentication.
Have fun!

Hello. I have qmail-1.03 running on a rh 6.1 box This is a DEC Alpha. I
seem to be getting exceptions and core dumps from cyclog and occationally
qmail-lspawn.
I am by no means a programming expert. I was just curious to see what
might be causing this and what I might do to solve it.
My first thought is maybe running out of resources etc... This is a
standard redhat installation and a out-of-the-box qmail compile.
The system is a Alpha 533 mhz lx164 w 256 megs of ram and 9 gb uh SCSI
drive. We probably do about 60,000 messages per day. This is where
sendmail started to barf and we happily upgraded.
I am including some log entries of the exceptions.
I would greatly appreciate any pointers or help.
