Hi,
the commands described in the FAQ.idx failed:
/usr/local/bin/ezmlm/ezmlm-sub ~/list/mod user@host
/usr/local/bin/ezmlm/ezmlm-sub ~/list/digest user@host
when executed being the list-owner.
The error message is
ezmlm-sub: fatal: unable to write subscribers/Un: file does not exist
I thought ezmlm-sub should create that file?
/usr/local/bin/ezmlm/ezmlm-sub ~/list usr@host works.

I was looking at mailman yesterday, and I found a note in their
install notes about how some Netscapes are known to send messages with
Sender: headers containing unqualified addresses. This is the exact
problem that one of the list members was facing, but at that time I
didn't know for sure. Now I can't remember who it was, hence this post
to the list. Perhaps this new info will help them dump Netscape ;-)

Hi,
does anybody know a quick hack to log the ip adres in a pop3 session without
setting tcpserver to verbose mode?

This probably works, but I'm using tcpserver and multilog, so how can I
achieve this kind of logging using those tools?

Use 'echo "$USER logged in from $TCPREMOTEIP [$TCPREMOTEHOST]" >&2'
instead of the call to logger.

I'm curious about this as well. I'm still using inetd for POP, but I'm
planning to migrate over to tcpserver sometime. Mostly, I'd like to
know how to log all of the POP connections, not just the successfully
authenticated ones. In case someone tries to crack the passwords or
something like that.

I tried that, and, instead of getting the log message to the log, I'm
getting it in the pop-3 conversation (checked using telnet).
Here's my /var/run/qmail/pop3/run script:
#!/bin/bash
exec tcpserver -v -R -c10 0 pop-3 qmail-popup \
wacko.jimz.net /bin/checkpassword qmail-pop3d-log Maildir \
2>&1 | multilog t /var/log/pop3
and /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d-log:
#!/bin/sh
echo "$USER logged in from $TCPREMOTEIP [$TCPREMOTEHOST]" >&2
exec qmail-pop3d $1
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jim

The vpopmail vchkpw program does that.

Everything works just fine in my system, but I have this little problem:
when I try to do
% echo to: someuser | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject
it responds
qmail-inject to:: command not found
Then I tried
% cat somefile | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
and it says
sendmail: unable to run qmail-inject
May you help me out with this problem???
Thanx

Hi.
We are using qmail to deploy mails for several thousands of mailing list.
Each of these lists has between 1 and 12000 users.
We create the messages in an application and we set the "to"-field to the
mailing list name, "from" to the name of the author of the mail. "reply-to"
is being set to the name of the mailing list.
e.g. From: Martin Renner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Now we have the problem that some replies of our users are going to
"m.renner", some others go to "mailinglist". Is it possible that some email
clients ignore the value of "reply-to" and that they always send to the
"from"-address?
Another problem is, that the original author of the email (m.renner) is
getting all the error mails from qmail ("failure notice", "This is the
qmail-send program [...] could not deliver to the following 200
addresses..."). We want that qmail (and all the other MTAs which qmail is
contacting) will send their error messages to
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]". How can we achieve this? Setting the
"return-path" (as described in RFC822) is not working, because qmail (?) is
replacing the "return-path" with the value from the "from"-address.

Yes, that's likely. Most mailers respect Reply-To, but not all do.

Set the envelope return path, e.g., using qmail-inject:
qmail-inject -f [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailinglist <msgfile

Currently the only way would be to turn on all logging in vpopmail
and parse the log output. At least, that's the only way I can think of.

If I redifine the symbols in dns.c then I get an error that the symbols are
already defiened... so I don't know which file is sending this problem...
Any ideas? help....

The cause of the problem was that I had added the hostname to the
127.0.0.1 entry in /etc/hosts. I guess on reverse lookup of the
hostname, /etc/hosts was used for some reason to reveal
localhost.localdomain.
A special thanks to Patrick Tudor who pointed me in this direction.
The cause of the second problem , it turns out, was non-qmail related,
but a DNS issue on the remote machine I was sending from.
A special thanks to Greg Haverkamp for this one.
Hi,
I'm facing an installation of FirstClass in our company, and while I've
been told that FC has an excellent mail service, I'd still like to use
our current qmail-server for recieving mail which FirstClass can then
retrieve from the mail server (perhaps through pop3.)
I don't know much about FirstClass, so I wonder if anyone here has any
experiences with integrating FC with qmail. If there is some better
method than using pop3, if there is a simple way to add new
FC-discussion groups automatically to the mail server or if I should let
everything that's being adressed to FC-discussion groups go through FC's
own mail server.
If so, please give me a (brief) explanation of your solution. (And mail
me directly if you consider this non-relevant and want to keep noise
away from the list.)
Thanks, Henrik.
Hi Henrik,
Haven't heard of FirstClass. I'm going to presume that the client
machines (Windows? Mac? Does it matter?) run some sort of proprietary
FirstClass client software to talk to the server....as such, your qmail
machine is likely to be working only as an MX host, and/or outgoing mail
spool.
If FC accepts mail via SMTP, you can still use qmail in your solution any
number of ways. If you wish to keep the FC server in a private
network, you can let the qmail box be the exposed machine. It works
like this.
+ all mail is MX'd to qmail.gammadata.se
+ /var/qmail/control/smtproutes includes the following lines:
gammadata.se:firewall.gammadata.se
.gammadata.se:firewall.gammadata.se
+ now firewall.gammadata.se allows connections on port 25 from
qmail.gammadata.se which are redirected to your FC server,
which only accepts connections from qmail.gammadata.se (or the
inside interface of your firewall depending on how the inbound
redirection is accomplished).
+ all outbound mail can also be sent via SMTP to qmail.gammadata.se,
and you can let it handle the domain lookups and so forth.
+ this will allow you maximum qmail control over the mail until you
become accustomed to FC and how it works.
I'm sorry to hear that you are being required to move away from qmail.
Anyway, I'd be surprised if FC didn't support SMTP, so you should probably
let the two servers talk to each other with SMTP. Then you don't have to
worry about POP3 transfer of mail....that would be a rather inelegant
solution (no offense intended).
If you don't have a firewall in the middle, I suppose it's going to be
considerably easier.
Best of luck,
-Martin

I'm not an expert (or close to it) -- this may be slightly
incorrect. It's just my understanding of what I've seen said on the list
(and seen in practice).
Qmail enforces the position that SMTP messages should not contain
bare-newlines at the end of the line, and that instead CRNL pairs should
be used. (I'm not about to debate the correctness of this, I really don't
mind either way).
So, to fix my CGI scripts, I had to replace every \n with \r\n, and for
here-documents, I had to do:
print <<__END_DATA;
Subject: $subject\r
To: $to\r
\r
Hi!\r
.\r
__END_DATA
The extra '\r's made qmail happy.
I believe you can also work around this on the server side by getting the
"fixcr" program from the ucspi-tcp distribution and inserting it in the
qmail-smtp pipeline.

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)

Hmmm.... this looks correct. Do you have IP routing enabled on the
machine ? Is the netmask correct ?

I have the exact same versions running on my system (not from ports)
(machine with 2 IP's).. Heck ! this machine has 2 NIC Cards too !
What type of NIC do you have ? Are you running on TCP Server or
Inetd ?

In SMTP, only "\r\n" delimits an SMTP NVT (network virtual terminal)
line. This is non-negotiable. Notice that single a perfectly
correct SMTP line can look like "abc \r def \n ghi \r\n"
This is quite different from what Unix (and Macintosh, and VM/CMS, etc)
thinks "lines" are. Thus, sometimes buggy software tries to talk SMTP,
but only uses "\n" to delimit "lines", which SMTP then interprets as
yielding one long line with funny whitespace in the middle.
Qmail has two problems with that. First, for example, the smtp
listener will time out waiting to see the end marker of the data. It's
supposed to be "\r\n.\r\n", "\n.\n" doesn't count. Second, qmail's
queue cannot correctly represent valid SMTP lines with "\n" in the
middle, because it stores them in Unix format, not SMTP NVT format.
Thus, qmail enforces the position that SMTP messages shouldn't contain
bare-newlines *anywhere*, even though this rejects certain valid SMTP
messages, in order to catch lots of serious non-qmail bugs, and to
avoid one obscure qmail bug.

No, fixcr is very buggy (see list archives). Don't use it.
I'm having a strange problem with HTML messages
sent from OutLook Express. If I send a HTML message to myself the message I
receive a message with all = signs replaced with "=3D", newlines with = signs,
and somtimes I get some =20's.
Has any one see this
before? Any help would be great!
here is an example of the messed up
message:

This is a normal conversion from 8-bit mail to quoted-printable encoding.
The problem is either:
* Outhouse Excuse doesn't know how to either convert or generate quoted-
printable encoded mail.
* Your mail software is not capable of properly displaying
quoted-printable messages.
Look at the headers of this allegedly corrupted message, and look for
Mime-Version: and Content-Transfer-Encoding: headers in order to determine
which is the case.

Following on from my other message do I have to do have two lines in
smtproutes like
example.com.au:1.2.3.4
.example.com.au:1.2.3.4
or will a single line like
example.com.au:1.2.3.4
suffice?
Thanks
Gavin

I know this is going to end up being a DNS problem, but I just can't
figure it out. I've got 3 addresses I'm dealing with:
sparky.srcars.net (local)
showsol.com (virtual)
incoming.showsol.com (virtual)
Now for some reason when I send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] it
delievers it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I've set up DNS as follows:
incoming.showsol.com:
@ IN SOA incoming.showsol.com. admin.srcars.net. (
2000011303 ; serial (yyyymmddxx)
10800 ; refresh
3600 ; retry
604800 ; expire
86400) ; minimum
;############ Name Servers ###########
IN NS ns1.srcars.net.
IN NS ns2.srcars.net.
;############ Mail Exchanges ###########
IN MX 10 speedy.srcars.net.
;############ Addresses ###########
IN A 209.197.206.74
showsol.com
@ IN SOA showsol.com. admin.srcars.net. (
2000011304 ; serial (yyyymmddxx)
10800 ; refresh
3600 ; retry
604800 ; expire
86400) ; minimum
;############ Name Servers ###########
IN NS ns1.srcars.net.
IN NS ns2.srcars.net.
;############ Mail Exchanges ###########
IN MX 10 speedy.srcars.net.
Here's my virtualdomains file:
incoming.showsol.com:incoming
showsol.com:showsol
and the rcpthosts:
speedy.srcars.net
incoming.showsol.com
showsol.com
Any ideas what I've done wrong?
I've set up a simple mail list which works fine. But I'd like
recipients to be able to simply hit REPLY and have the message go to the
list as opposed to the original sender. I think the answer is to add a
REPLY-TO: header field, but I've had no luck getting qmail-inject to ADD
a header line. Any advice?
TIA!

I have a fresh install of qmail and wish to run SMTP and POP on seperate
machines
Currently I have qmail active on smtp but it does not seem to be
delivering the Mail
to the Maildirs. I have editted everything I could find to say ./Maildir/
instead of mailbox.
When a mail is sent /var/log/qmail-smtp gives a message
947813893.747750 tcpserver: status: 1/40
947813893.751138 tcpserver: pid 5625 from 192.168.0.9

947813893.812094 tcpserver: end 5625 status 0
947813893.812132 tcpserver: status: 0/40
but the mail does not appear in the users Maildir/new?

I have deleted a mail that was in the queue, since the domain name could
not be resolved. nslookup too could not resolve the domain name. So I decided
to delete the mail from the queue. I deleted the file number from /var/qmail/queue
subdirectories. Now, I find the following message in the syslog.
Jan 13 21:31:37 myhost qmail: 947817097.783376 warning: trouble opening
remote/7/821705; will try again later
Jan 13 21:33:41 myhost qmail: 947817221.783378 warning: trouble opening
remote/7/821705; will try again later
What else needs to be done to stop this message? For future deletions, what is the
recommended way to delete a mail from the queue?
Thank you in advance.

If the domain name is permanently unresolvable, qmail will eventually time
out the mail and return it to the sender. I'm going to guess that there's
some good reason you found it necessary to hurry up the process, but in
general I'd let qmail do the work by itself.

There are a number of ways to do it. One of the easiest is to get the
qmHandle tool from www.qmail.org. One thing to note is that qmail-send
should not be running if you're going to monkey with the queue.
In the particular situation you noted above, if you have a lot of mail for
this domain, you can get rid of it quick:
echo baddomain.com:alias-bitbucket >> /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains
echo /dev/null > ~alias/.qmail-bitbucket
kill -HUP `pidof qmail-send`
kill -ALRM `pidof qmail-send`
(wait for queue to clear out)
(remove baddomain.com entry from virtualdomains)
kill -HUP `pidof qmail-send`

I have set up Qmail Server with Vpopmail and Qmail admin and my Mail Server
is running fine. I have created virtual domains using Qmailadmin. I see that
mails are also coming into the directories of my virtual domain. But I am
unable to retrieve the mails from my virtual domain maildirectory. Could any
expert help me out on this. My MX records are fine pointing to this mail
server.
Thanks & Regards

In the qmail/doc/INSTALL.maildir it says to edit /var/qmail/rc
and replace ./Mailbox with ./Maildir/
and "by creating a maildir in the new-user template directory"
Where is this directory?

It's usually /usr/share/skel or /etc/skel. See your system's
useradd/adduser or equivalent command for more info on how it gets used.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Normally, qmail-smtpd records the IP address of the client in that
field. Why does yours have an '@' in it? I'm supposing that it's either
a modified qmail, or there's some sort of bug somewhere in your system.
Might be worth a look at.
