Hi all, How long qmail can queue a messages? Is there any control to change it? Sifat.

hi,
i installed ucspi-tcp and i am running qmail under the tcpserver. My basic problem: I added the line
tcpserver -v -u 7770 -g 2108 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd \ 2>&1 | var/qmail/bin splogger smtpd 3 &
to a boot script.
The error that appeares is: Command not found...
Where is the mistake???

The problem may be that /usr/local/bin is not in the PATH when your boot scripts are running. Also, where you have: var/qmail/bin splogger you should have /var/qmail/bin/splogger Chris
No preceeding forward slash on the call to splogger (not to mention the space in it).

Combining simplicity, power, and a certain ineffable grace of design. Higher praise than `clever', `winning', or even cuspy. The French aviator, adventurer, and author Antoine de Saint-Exup'ery, probably best known for his classic children's book "The Little Prince", was also an aircraft designer. He gave us perhaps the best definition of engineering elegance when he said "A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away." > Do i really need the tcpserver or is inetd ok as well???? inetd is "ok". tcpserver is "good". If you don't like services being disabled simply because they're busy, don't use inetd. If you want the ability to control access to services by host, don't use inetd. If you want the ability to limit the maximum concurrent connections to a service, don't use inetd. -Dave
can anyone send me a boot script for the tcpserver which logs not to the console, but into the logfiles???
i did and use this script:start)
echo -n "Starting qmail: svscan"
cd /var/qmail/supervise
env - PATH="$PATH" svscan &
echo $! > /var/run/svscan.pid
echo "."
;;
There is no error message during startup, qmail-send etc. are running, but i am not able to send mails from a client using the qmail server (error: server not reachable).When using the comman "tcpserver ..." it works just fine, but the traffic is logged to the console.Do I have to add a line in the script above?

Use a different archival program. : ) These questions aren't directly related to QMail, but they do have some relevance to the topic, so I'll plead for forgiveness. It seems like there isn't any decent mail archiving system out there. Some, like MoHnArc (or however you spell it) have some neat features, but there aren't any that really kick butt. A while ago, I started writing my own archiving program for a mailing list that I'm on, using PostgreSQL for the storage. Having it in a database really allows for great flexibility in archival/retrieval. There's just one problem... threading. I've been trying to come up with a decent method of threading the messages, but since few (if any) mail clients seem to use a "in-response-to" header (or whatever the name of it is), it's getting very hard to do more than just seperate the original from a reply. If anybody wants to help me out, maybe I'll archive the QMail list once I get the package done. (There, does that justify asking this on the QMail list?) As far as spam harvesting, the database stores the email address of the author, but does not show it to end users. One of the planned features is the ability to email the author via a form, so that you never see the email address in question. It allows for contacting authors, but without opening them up to spam. The author can decide whether to reply or not. steve

my problem is very basic, but i do not find a solution:I am using the init script from http://web.infoave.net/~dsill/lwq.htmlI created a link in rc3.d. But when starting the system the error : Could not found such file or directory occurs. It's when the system tries to load S80qmail. But the file is correctly linked. And i do not see any errors in the file. Where is my mistake???

Well, try: cat /etc/rc.d/rc[runlevel]/S80qmail from the command line, chances are that it will display the file just fine, telling you that it is in fact linked correctly. Then, let's look at the pertinant lines from the script: case "$1" in start) echo -n "Starting qmail: svscan" cd /var/qmail/supervise Does "/var/qmail/supervise" exists? env - PATH="$PATH" svscan & echo $! > /var/run/svscan.pid does /var/run exist? You can see the strategy here, that should at least help you find the source of the error, and then it should be much easier to remedy. steve

yes, thanks a lot. It was a dos format. Now there is a syntax error, but that much more clear. One further question. When changing to runtime level1 and then back to 3 the script is not loaded, although it is located there. Do I need a reboot?

If you've setup qmail as the Life with Qmail suggests, run top and look for the user 'qmails' .. If not, run ps -aex (command varies from OS to OS) and look for qmail-send you have to use a switch on ps to view ALL processes on your machine..

yeah, qmail-send and qmail-smtp are running. But I am nor able to send mails with the use of this smtp server. My client reports (server nor found). It is definitely not a client problem, it worked when running qmail as inetd. So what did I miss?
My maillog file did not rotate this past week. All log data is still going to the maillog.1. The maillog file was created, but it has zero bytes of data. Has anyone ever had this happen to them? Any ideas? The box is RedHat 6.0 running qmail 1.03. Thanks for you input. Dan

Qmail Gurus, We were audited and one of the findings was that our qmail server allowed addresses with the pipe symbol in them, which was reported in our audit as a bad practice. Is there any way to block email addresses (sender or recipient) with the pipe symbol in them via configuration files, or would I have to patch the code? Thanks, Fox [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Why exactly? Unless you stuff the e-mails into sendmail, or unless you do badly shell expansion, there's no problem; in the latter case, you have got a problem with addresses containing a semicolon as well. > Is there any way to block email addresses (sender or recipient) with > the pipe symbol in them via configuration files, or would I have to > patch the code? You need to patch the code. Perhaps some of the spamcontrol patches allow this check. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 6.0.2 -- QDPGP 2.60 Comment: http://community.wow.net/grt/qdpgp.html iQA/AwUBOJYKdVMwP8g7qbw/EQLkUACgu93N6wo4vYaUb50OELXUyYGYV5AAoM8h j0vL7o44xyHR9Fb8vaw6MSFx =pY1L -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Petr Novotny, ANTEK CS [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.antek.cz PGP key ID: 0x3BA9BC3F -- Don't you know there ain't no devil there's just God when he's drunk.

IIRC this test is sendmail-specific. I.e. Nessus reports problems with the pipe symbol addressing (AFAIK was the pipe symbol important for mailing with uucp). The test results positive if the MTA accepts RCPT TO: |[EMAIL PROTECTED] I don't know whether other auditing tools use the same way, but in any case you won't have a problem with qmail - it delivers such false adressed mails to the postmaster. Perhaps the auditor doesn't know the qmail-features as well? Martin
I am looking for info on tcpserver config. The files that come with it are kind of sparse on syntax and examples. Is there a site that has mroe info? Also, is it better used in place of, or in combination with tcp wrappers? =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-: Aodhan of Mountainview Internet Guy Ad Astra Per Aspera "A Rough Road Leads To The Stars" =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-:

my script: case "$1" in start) echo -n "Starting qmail: svscan" cd /var/qmail/supervise env - PATH="$PATH" svscan & echo &! > /var/run/svscan.pid echo "." ;; the error: env: svscan no such file or directory i do not understand exactly the meaning of "svscan". Where is my mistake???
Your problem is this line: env - PATH="$PATH" svscan & the svscan isn't found. Either you don't have that app, or it's not in your path. Nothing more..

The command telnet localhost 25 shows a message : Connection refused. Whith ps I see that qmail-send etc. are running. Why is the connection refused? Do I have to configuer tecpserver??

Maybe it doesn't like the looks of your packets. : ) You need to be running an SMTP server to accept mail on the SMTP port, qmail-SMTPD is the one you're likely to go with, and yes, it should be handled by tcpserver. Once you have tcp server installed (see http://www.flounder.net/qmail/qmail-howto.html, notably http://www.flounder.net/qmail/qmail-howto.html#10a ), a line such as: /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -x/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -u502 -g501 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd & In your init script will start it up. You may want to use the RBL (real-time black hole) or other spam filter, but that's up to you. The above URL's have plenty of info. steve
I know this isn't strictly a qmail question, but since David Harris's smtp-poplock package is mentioned on www.qmail.org, and I've seen other people mentioning here that they use it, this seems like the best place to ask... I'm experimenting with smtp-poplock to provide smtp-after-pop. Looks to be working like a charm (thanks, David!), but I've got a question about the smtp-poplock.static_allowed file -- specifically, are wildcards (or addresses with netmasks) allowed here? For example, could I do any of the following (if 12.34.56.* were a class C that I owned): 12.34.56. 12.34.56.* 12.34.56.0/24 to specify the entire range of addresses in that class C network? The output of "showallowed" heads the IP address column with "ipaddr (and netmask)", which makes me think that something like this is possible, but I'm not sure what the syntax would be. Thanks in advance for any help, Adam
i installed tcpserver and daemontools, but cannot locate the comman "setuser". Which mistake did I make??

You most likely installed version 0.61 of daemontools, and this doesn't have setuser. That command has been replaced by setuidgid. -- See complete headers for more info
Hello, Please, please forgive me, but yesterday's version of my SMTP AUTH patch does not work. It was my mistake during "securing" it a bit and it went out unchecked. Grab the latest version from: http://www.elysium.pl/members/brush/qmail-smtpd-auth/ I have checked it with Eudora 4.2.2 few minutes ago so i can guarantee , that it'll work this time. Keep the bug reports comming (i've got 1 already :) ). Kris

I use qmail on my server, and run fetchmail as daemon to check my external POP account. Here's my command line: fetchmail -u <user> --monitor -v my.external.pop.server Without -p, fetchmail will try every available protocol to use and if there's none, it exits with an error. -Okky On Tue, 1 Feb 2000, Md.

If you want /var/spool/mail/user delivery use qpopper as pop3 server. qmail POP3 server only supports Maildir format.

Hi, I've just upgraded qmail from 0.94 to 1.03 and now there's no local delivery of email! When I sent email from anywhere on the internet to our mailhost it immediately delivers. When I sent email from inside our LAN to an account on the mailhost the message is put in the queue and as far as I can see it isn't deliverd! What to do? Regards, Erwin

You probably don't have the older version of daemontools installed. Also, you shouldn't use pipes in the bootscript. From your emails to the list it seems that you're attempting to use qmail using serveral different approaches. You should probably start over, and follow the instructions at <URL:http://web.infoave.net/~dsill/lwq.html#installation> *exactly*. If that doesn't work for you, ask the list, but be sure to quote *precise* error-messages. Also, please make sure you include the relevant information. In another message you wrote: >i did and use this script: > >start) > echo -n "Starting qmail: svscan" > cd /var/qmail/supervise > env - PATH="$PATH" svscan & > echo $! > /var/run/svscan.pid > echo "." > ;; > >There is no error message during startup, qmail-send etc. are running, but >i am not able to send mails from a client using the qmail server (error: >server not reachable). The people on this list can't help you with the information you give here: the snippet you show here just starts svscan. For us to know which programs supervise should be running, we need to have an idea of the contents of /var/qmail/supervise. You don't tell us what's in your PATH. You say qmail-send is running, but proceed to ask a question about qmail-smtpd. A 'server not reachable' message would mean that your client can't make a network connection to the host your qmail installation is running on; 'connection refused' would mean you don't have anything listening on port 25. Also, when following up to messages on a mailing-list, please let your mailer create the subject-line (see the Subject: of this message), and quote the relevant parts of the email your replying to. Following the installation instructions in Life With qmail *to the letter* is your best bet. Good luck. Vince.
