Hi,
I'm experiencing strange problems with qmail on my FreeBSD box when trying
to use IP aliases. qmail sends broken envelope-froms while aliasing is
active.
this is the state of the only NIC in my system:
de0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 194.145.150.99 netmask 0xfffffff0 broadcast 194.145.150.111
Just a single adress on a single interface. qmail works fine. Then i add an
IP alias:
de0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 194.145.150.99 netmask 0xfffffff0 broadcast 194.145.150.111
inet 194.145.150.97 netmask 0xffffffff broadcast 194.145.150.97
After this, qmail breaks the envelope-from, which looks like this
(tcpdump'ed > = received; < = sent):
>220 lily.zomby.net ESMTP[CR]
<HELO mail.zomby.net[CR]
>250 lily.zomby.net[CR]
...everything ok so far. But now:
<MAIL
FROM:<[\00][\00][\00][\00][\00][\00][\00][\00][\00][\00][\00][\00][\00][\00][\00][\00][\00][\00][\00][\00][\00]>[CR]
>250 ok[CR]
...normal SMTP blabla continues
I think i've also seen strange control chars instead of this null-string
sometimes. It works perfect again if I remove the IP alias. It doesn't
matter wheter qmail is running or not while adding/removing the alias. So
how can I fix this? I didn't find anything about this in the mailing list
archive, but I can't believe I'm the only person using qmail on FreeBSD with
IP aliases. Or is FreeBSD broken here? I'd appreciate your help.
qmail version is 1.03 (FreeBSD ports one)
