Dear qmail lover.
I installed MySQL + qmail 1.03 on RedHat 6.0 (Intel CPU).
And it has worked well last 2 months.
Now I want to IMAP service for users.
But I don't know if there is IMAP server or its patches for ( MySQL + qmail ).
You know (MySQL + qmail) system stores user infomations - HOME DIR etc - in MySQL DB.
So I'm looking for IMAP server which is supporting qmail's MySQL patch.
Thank you for reading...

If some people want to create this patch, I've already done the hard part of
patching UW-IMAP to accept virtual users and creating a clean C interface to
authenticate them. If somebody wants to write an authentication function that
uses the MySQL backend, they can grab my work and add to it.

The pipe-symbol is not UUCP-related. The problem is that sendmail doesn't
(or at least didn't) do enough checks on program delivery so that every once
in a while a hole is found that allows remote users to do program delivery
as root.
Very old sendmails accept the '|blah@domain' syntax to have stuff executed.
> Perhaps the auditor doesn't know the qmail-features as well?
The actual 'feature' that he's barfing on, is qmail not reporting 'User not
found' when somebody mails to a non-existing/invalid address.

Yes, in the smtp-poplock.static_allowed you can specify an address and netmask
in the form:
12.34.56.0/24
12.34.56.0/255.255.255.0
or you can just specify the address without a netmask.

Hello,
I am already configured QMail and Maildir , migrating from sendmail
from last month.
A Horde IMP Webmail already configured before, so I get imapd + mail
dir patch as mentioned in qmail site.
The problem is , each time I create new folder, the folder create
as a Maildir structure ( I believe its done via IMAP) but no e-mail
can be copied nor moved to that new folder (with Maildir structure)
via IMP. I believe I need a quick hack to IMP source code but how ?

Beats me. How could I possibly determine that from the information
you've provided? For example:
1) What client are you using?
2) Is it running on the qmail system?
Since you installed using "Life with qmail", you did the post
installation tests from:
http://Web.InfoAve.Net/~dsill/lwq.html#test
Right? :-)

LWQ has examples, but no real documentation for ucspi-tcp.

In place of, at least for each service. In other words, tcpserver and
tcp_wrappers coexist on the same system, but each service should only
use one or the other.

If you installed according to the current version of LWQ, you should
also have installed daemontools 0.61, which contains svscan. From this
and your other messages to the list, it appears you have a mismatch
between LWQ and daemontools versions. The old LWQ used daemontools
0.53, which included cyclog and setuser. The current LWQ uses
daemontools 0.61, which includes multilog, setuidgid, and svscan.
I think you need to stop, count to ten, re-download the current
version of LWQ from http://Web.InfoAve.Net/~dsill/lwq.html, and start
over from scratch following the directions *very* carefully.

If you followed LWQ, tcpserver would be serving qmail-smtpd on port
25. Your test indicates that this isn't the case, so you probably
botched the installation. When this happens, the thing to do is to go
back over the directions and make sure everything is right, then kill
and restart the daemons.

How does sending and receiving mail to and from remote hosts fail,
exactly? Provide exact error messages, please. Also, how did you
install qmail? LWQ, rpm, HOWTO, INSTALL, ...? Did you test the
installation?
Assuming a working qmail installation, you can go to:
http://Web.InfoAve.Net/~dsill/lwq.html#pop-imap-servers
For information about running a POP server.

You sure about that? My qmail-qstat contains the following two "find"
commands:
messfiles=`find queue/mess/* -print | wc -w`
todofiles=`find queue/todo -print | wc -w`
But your error message matches neither.

But, as you showed us, the remote server does not support ETRN, so
you can't do what you're trying to do. And it's not qmail, so no
AUTOTURN.

Find another way to get your mail. Does the remote server support
POP or IMAP or UUCP? At this point you should be asking your ISP,
not us. qmail really has nothing to do with your problem.

Actually, I was helping a guy get qmail running on Yellow Dog Linux
(runs on PPC's, i.e. Macs), and it was failing precisely *because* he
was following the instructions exactly. The problem turned out to
be this

The memory limit was too small for tcpserver (takes about 1.5 M) to
load a copy of glibc (about 1M), so getservbyname was failing, so no
smtp service could be found.
Dave, you should make clear that 2000000 may need adjusting. This
would likely have failed on my new Sun Ultra 5's as well, although I
use my own scripts there, so I've never actually tried it.

Most any of the scripts will work with a properly set-up Qmail
installation, as Qmail provides a clone for sendmail.

does anybody know a perl script that supports form handling with the use of
qmail???
Any perl script (such as formmail (http://www.scriptarchive.com)) supports
sendmail supports qmail. Qmail installs a Sendmail frontend for you that
mimicks the functionality of /usr/lib/sendmail
Hi,
I was wondering if anybody on this list has a solution to enforce a minimum
delay a user has to wait for polling his pop3 box. A lot of users on my
POP3-Server are polling it every 30secs while being online 24/7. This
produces unnecassary load on the pop3 machine.
Does anybody have scripts/a patch to make qpop3d print an error message and
deny the pop3-access for a certain time (like 1minute) if the user is
"hammering" the pop3 Server ? I think this could be implemented just like a
smtp-after-pop3 solution with the only difference that it is "the other way
round" (you lock out users for a certain time window instead of giving them
access to a service for a certain time).
Thanks in advance,
Jochen
in php there is a
function called "mail()". In the docs it is described how to use it with
sendmail. Does anybody know how to use this with
qmail??

Probably the same way, as long as you've linked /usr/sbin/sendmail to
/var/qmail/bin/sendmail.

use the sendmail wrapper that comes with qmail?

i changes the line in the php3.ini-dist to /var/qmail/bin/sendmail
In spite of this, the mail is not send. In the http-error-log there is a
line /usr/sbin/sendmail -no such directory or file. But i do not find the
line in my php3.ini-dist file. Where can it be???

kill PID-of-sendmail
mv /usr/lib/sendmail /usr/lib/sendmail.old # may not be needed
mv /usr/sbin/sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail.old # may not be needed
chmod 0 /usr/lib/sendmail.old /usr/sbin/sendmail.old
ln -s /var/qmail/bin/sendmail /usr/lib
ln -s /var/qmail/bin/sendmail /usr/sbin
This will make sure that qmail will handle you mail.

you should ask this in the php3 mailling-list ;)
anyway the correct file name is: php.ini
and you can override it's default location with a ./configure option
./configure --help to list the options!
don't forget to restart apache after making changes to the php.ini file
also:
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
in a file by itself will give info about php options (call it with you browser,
afterwards)
bye bye,

phpinfo() showed me /var/qmail/bin/sendmail as sendmail path. In spite of

It sounds like you need to do a *LOT* more homework before hitting the
list with non-information like this.
If you administer a system then you'll know how important it is to
state all relevant information exactly. Paraphrasing a log file is *NOT*
stating any information exactly. Do you get frustrated when people
using your computer systems come to you with little more than "it doesn't
work!". Well, that's about what you've done here.
You should be attempting to debug this yourself. What efforts have
you made to do this? Have you put any tracing or logging information into
the php script? If you have done so, what did you discover?
Have you tried to run the script outside of the web server? What did it show?
If you're on an OS that has a system call trace facility, what does that show?
Did you try making a wrapper for index.php to check the parameters and return
status of the real index.php? If so, what do those parameters look like?
Did you try making a wrapper around the relevant qmail program to see if it's
getting invoked and with what arguments? If so, did you invoke it manually with
the same parameters to see what happens?
If you haven't done any of this, what efforts do you expect people on this list
to make on your behalf? Apart from training in clairvoyancy that is?
Regards.
What does the qmail file look like? The message file? Do you have the
http server set to record at debug level? Most are preconfigured to use
warn.

Hello qmail fans,
Let me ask you how can I configure qmail in order to relay
for local users (based on "mail from" field).

You don't want to relay based on the SMTP envelope sender, as this is easily
spoofed by spammers. You want to relay based on IP address. This is
easy for customers with static IPs. Using tcpserver, set the
RELAYCLIENT variable to "" when a user connects from one of the static
IPs you wish to allow relaying from, and don't set RELAYCLIENT to anything
for everyone else.
For dhcp'd/mobile clients, use a SMTP-after-POP solution. There are
several, listed on qmail.org and other places.
Have you checked Life with qmail? This is one of the most common FAQs
there is.

Is it possible to get a copy of messages a certain user sends and receives ?
Many thanks
is it possible to secure mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a password so only
people who knows the user/password or just the password could mail to
this emailaddress.
.qmail-all will hold all users within this domain.
i use vchkpwd/vpopmail with qmailadmin. i can use vpopbull , which works
ok with plain text, but i also want send attachements to everyone.

Instead of searching for far-fetched solutions, why don't you just install a
mailing-list manager (like ezmlm, http://www.ezmlm.org/) and set up [EMAIL PROTECTED] as
a moderated/limited list?

One way we've solved this problem in the past when we didn't need to
support user forwarding addresses was to just write a script to deliver
directly to their inboxes. That's much faster than anything that goes
through the mail system, although you have to be careful to do the right
locking. But that way, security is pretty straightforward; the only
person who would be able to run the script is root on the mail server.

Hello.
I've seen in the documentation of qmail that it has
qreceipt, to use if a mail comes with the header:
Notice-Requested-Upon-Delivery-To
Can it be used if the header has this other
option?:
Return-Receipt-To
Anyway, they both doesn't work on my server because
they say:
502 unimplemented (#5.5.1)
I suppose I have to recomplie qmail with some
option, but which one?
Thanks.

qmail-smtpd will _never_ report _anything_ about headers. qmail-smtpd is
strictly RFC821 and does not deal with any content-matters.
You're probably trying the wrong thing :)

Hmm. Apparently they fixed it(?) in their new version of IMail:
[~]$ host -t mx ipswitch.com
ipswitch.com mail is handled (pri=10) by imail.ipswitch.com
ipswitch.com mail is handled (pri=50) by alpha.ipswitch.com
[~]$ telnet imail.ipswitch.com 25
Trying 156.21.1.5...
Connected to imail.ipswitch.com.
Escape character is '^]'.

Hi,
I'm just wondering if
MAIL FROM: <>
in SMTP session is valid or not? From what I understand is that qmail
uses that to send bounce messages. However some sites (particulary
ones using IMail v5) rejects that sender saying "501 bogus mail from".
I don't care if the sender doesn't receive the bounce back, heck I
tried to send bounce message but they rejects it. It's just annoying,
especially if this is valid, not bogus.
I have contacted a rep from IMail, but no response. Here's the
website: http://www.ipswitch.com/products/IMail_Server/index.asp
--
Ronny Haryanto
This is _not_ an IMail problem. This is a user-configurable setting.
If mail from <> is bouncing that means the admin of that site has chosen to
enable that setting. (It might be the default, but I'm pretty sure it's
not.)

It is valid, and required, to prevent bounces bouncing :)

But if <> is valid, what is the reason to make this behaviour

It is being blocked because some SPAMers took advantage of the fact that
the RFCs require bounce messages to use the <> envelope sender for error
messages. It should NEVER be blocked, period. If a spammer is sending
email with an <> envelope sender, block their IP.

That's not the point. Giving the user an option to break the RFC is not the
same as breaking the RFC.

Not really. It's possible to set up any mailer to block <>. IMail just
makes it easier.

Only so far as rm has a problem in that it allows you to type
rm -rf / as root.

Indeed.
What IMail does wrong is allowing the user to do so with one click of the
mouse. qmail can be configured to break lots of RFCs, that's not even hard.
But nothing that can happen 'incidentally'.

Hello All,
I have the following addresses which generate some periodic
spam to my system:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

How does one go about dealing with this mess, as much as I would love
to block the aol.com domain 8^), I can't do it cause we have customers
who use AOL to get to our website..:(
Any ideas?

I know this is a tense subject on the mailing list, but please bear with me.
;o)
I haven't even INSTALLED qmail yet, but would much rather use it on my RedHat
6.1 box than the stock sendmail that's full of holes.
However, my dilemma is that I'm going to be running multiple virtual domains on
one server, web, mail, ftp, etc. and am curious to know what steps exactly I
should follow to get the setup completed with qmail.
Before you start ranting about "RTFM", I have read through the FAQ's and found
them a little confusing. I also searched through the mailing list archives and
am even more confused.
What I'm looking for here is a way to set up my server to accept mail for
domain1.com, domain2.com and domain3.com ... etc, to domainn.com.
Each domain should have its own unique users. That is, [EMAIL PROTECTED] is NOT
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Is this going to be a problem? This is the issue that I fail
to see (easily) addressed from what I've read so far.
I plan to have a directory structure in place such as:
/home/domain1/mail/user1
/home/domain1/mail/user2
etc
for each of the domains so that each user can login using POP/IMAP to retrieve
their mail. I'd also like an way to handle Email aliasing so that
[EMAIL PROTECTED] can be sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or wherever else I need it
to go.
I'm not new to Linux, but I'm new to the idea of setting up multiple domains on
a single host, so any hand-holding would be appreciated.
Thanks much,

[EMAIL PROTECTED]
For a little more information, I'm getting into virtual web hosting which I can
set up and maintain quite well ... but everyone's looking for Email to go with
it.
So each domain I host is going to have their own webmaster@, sales@, info@
address, etc.
I would like all root@, sysadmin@, and postmaster@ Email to be filtered into
one POP box for myself.
Again, I appreciate any helpful responses.

As far as qmail is concerned, this is not a problem, although you probably
want to use a virtual user manager of some sort -- there's several to pick
from.

Virtual domain support is simple and documented in Life with qmail, etc.
Essentially you create one user account for each virtual domain, although
this varies between manager systems.

It's not a problem for virtual mail users, _but_ ...

This looks like you're planning on setting up home directories for virtual
mail users -- why? Do they need shell/ftp/other access? If so, they're
not really virtual mail users. A virtual mail user doesn't need an account
of their own -- they just need a POP mailbox (or IMAP, etc).

Yet here you say you only need POP/IMAP access for them. Forget about giving
virtual users individual home directories.

More details will get you more detailed responses, providing you go read
"Life with qmail", mentioned almost every day in this list. Also read
everything on www.qmail.org, especially concerning virtual mail user
management systems.

The directory structure will be used for web/ftp hosting as well... for
example:
/home/domain1/public_html/
/home/domain1/anon_ftp/
/home/domain1/mail/
Shell access is still up in the air with regards to security issues. But that's
not for this list to discuss...
Thanks for any other ideas. Ken sent me a link for Inter7 which seems to be
what I need for the virtual mail hosting. Many thanks.

I understand that qmail is the MTA, but there is also functionality
in ezmlm which takes advantage of qmail in a way which makes things
much faster. Something about parallel smtp processes or something
like that. There's more to it then just qmail itself.

Like the master himself says, "Profile - don't speculate." In this case,
look at the way qmail and ezmlm work.
By "parallel SMTP processes" I'm assuming you're referring to the way qmail
handles deliveries, which is to spawn one qmail-remote process for each
recipient address. That all happens after the mail is injected by ezmlm
into the qmail queue.

Make sure the last line of the assign file is a period by itself.

Hi Folks,
I'm wondering the best place/way to log details about each email to a
database of some sort.
Specifically I need to log, from address, to address, and email size.
Any hints on where to start?
Thanks,
Lance

Hint #1: log qmail-send with cyclog or multilog.
Hint #2: take a look on qmail-analog. Specifically matchup.

Is there any kernel sysctl or otherwise parameters suggested for
performance using qmail on Linux? Open file handle limits, share memory,
whatever? I have a goal to send at least 1 million emails in a
24 hour period from a single machine.
Also, has anyone done any experimentation using 2.3.x kernels and
qmail? Any feedback on experiences with 2.3.x?
Thanks

The qmail-server I built recently has been benchmarked at 2-3million a day,
with a stock redhat 1000fd kernel (it's on their ftp-site as an rpm).
concurrencylocal/remote are both 255, machine hums along nicely.
Most critical factor besides fd's is probably memory, and perhaps CPU.
I think I had 512mbyte in this one and something along the lines of a
PII-450.

Ok, then try putting a forwarder inside a .qmail-default file and try the
mess ;)
I want my default delivery to go to a mailing list.
If I simply put a forwarder instead of vdelivermail..... inside
.qmail-default all mail (to any account, even if it exists) is forwarded
twice, or something like this. Tried it a few days ago and it resulted in
chaos.

i read "life with qmail" and set ip my server correctly. i did not find the
part how to start the pop3d automatically. so i entered the lines of the doc
("tcpserver..." to my boot script of qmail. Now each transaction is logged
to the console. Does anybody have I working startup script for qmail-send,
qmail-smtpd and qmail-pop3???
well thanks a lot, it works. But every pop3 transaction will be echod to the
bash. Can I disable this?

Is it possible to run two versions of qmail-smtpd (say, on different port #s),
with different control/databytes files? Boss is asking whether we can set a
limit on the size of incoming mail (easy, use databytes) but have no limit on
the outgoing mail. Easiest way is to have 2 SMTP servers on separate machines,
but would it be possible to this up on only one machine?
I am running qmail-smtpd under tcpserver, if that is any help.
TIA,

Sure. Just run two instances of qmail.
In fact, why not mutlihome your system (or alias depending on which
term you prefer) and have them both on port 25. One listens to your
internally advertised address and one listens to your MX address.
You can also control how many resources go to which service then, all
on the one machine.
Regards.

That's way too hard. If your network is the 1.2.3 class C, stick something like
this in your rules file:
1.2.3.:allow,RELAYCLIENT="",DATABYTES="0"
That'll set DATABYTES to zero (meaning there's no limit) for your internal
clients. Everyone else is subject to /var/qmail/control/databytes.

would like to have my logs rotated on a daily base. I learned from
the Qmail Mailing List Archive that qfilelog could do just
what I am expecting but all the messages there
seem to be about older version of daemontools (cyclog).
I wonder if anyone out there had got it running
with daemontool-0.61 (multilog). How do I set my 'run script'
to have them work together ?
Thanks in advance !

This is the tricky bit. daemontools-0.61 introduced the concept of an
svscan pipe between a process and its logger. The reason was because
shell pipes are unreliable. In order to use qfilelog, you would have to
do something like:
qmail-start ./Maildir/ tai64n | qfilelog somefile
In you want to run this under daemontools-0.61, your run script would
be:
qmail-start ./Maildir/
And your log/run script would be:
tai64n | qfilelog somefile
This is where the problem is: You're back to using shell pipes and
there's a possibility of loss of logs if one of the components of the
pipeline dies unexpectedly. While there are convoluted ways of achieving
time-based rotation with multilog, I really wish it was a built-in
feature.

Does anyone have a URL for a Red Hat SysV init rc.d script for qmail?

I hate to ask such a general question, but hat sort of bandwidth is needed to

I help with an ISP that has a base of ~ 1500 users and 150 dialup
lines. We connect to the Internet with a full T1 line (1.5 Mbps).
The line gets close to saturation most evenings.

You have a budget and you don't know what you need to buy yet? Nice work if you
can get it :>
But what quality of service are you wanting to provide?
And what is the anticipated traffic profile?
Are they corporate users or general public?
Are you talking about internet bandwidth, internal bandwidth or bandwidth to your
customer
connections?
What speed dialups are these? 56K? Less? ISDN?
How many concurrent connections?
Oh, and, er, can these users do web browsing? If so, you'd best hang out in a
web-traffic
list as that will dominate your bandwidth requirements.
Regards.

And I'll bet that 80% of that traffic was not email.

I ried to send to wilson@[203.26.11.154] but it failed. Can someone tell me why ?

qmail should accept it if you have the IP address in the rcpthosts file.
of course, this is purely speculation on may part based on how qmail
appears to work to me, and should not be construed as technically
correct or even slightly worth listening to.
btw - those square brackets make me wonder about various things too...

Someone told me to use square brackets and put the number in rcpthosts so I
did. It works on our internal LAN but if I'm dialled into my ISP and try to
email to it then it gets bounced.

The brackets are required.
>From qmail-remote(8):
The remote host is qmail-remote's first argument, host.
qmail-remote sends the message to host, or to a mail
exchanger for host listed in the Domain Name System, via
the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). host can be
either a fully-qualified domain name:
silverton.berkeley.edu
or an IP address enclosed in brackets:
[128.32.183.163]
If the mail is to be delivered locally to IP www.xxx.yyy.zzz,
[www.xxx.yyy.zzz] must appear in control/locals and control/rcpthosts.

Because this form of addressing is obsolete and deprecated. Once upon a
time MX records were few and far between. That is no longer the case, so
there's no need for this nonsense.

hmmm. I don't think so. Here is my rcpthosts file:

203.26.11.154

hmmm...
I'm pretty sure you have to kill qmail-send.
killproc is a handy tool if you have it around.
you can just do a: killproc -HUP `which qmail-send`
(assuming qmail-send is in your path; else give it the path to qmail-send)

All this bracket talk is nonsense. And you don't have to restart anything after
making a change to rcpthosts--it's reread for every incoming smtp connection.
If the bracketed IP address in the e-mail address is one of the computer's IP
addresses, then the contents of control/localiphost (which defaults to
control/me) is the domain that's checked for in control/rcpthosts.
So whatever's in control/me (or control/localiphost if you have it) needs to be
in control/rcpthosts in order for this to work for you.

That's because it's the wrong way of doing things. Read the qmail-smtpd
man page, and see the section about the control file "localiphost".

BRILLIANT ! that's it.
So a summary. All I needed to do is put mclachlan.com.au in localiphost.
qmail replaces the ip with the FQDN & then we go onto rcpthosts etc.
Thankyou everyone for your contributions I really appreciate it.

Hi all,
I got a problem with rcpthosts. my domain is abc.spnetctg.com and I put it
in rcpthosts.
#cat rcpthosts
abc.spnetctg.com
Now when I try to send mail to any e-mail address except abc.spnetctg.com
domain qmail reject it. But If there is not rcpthosts it works nice. Here
is my smtproutes:
#cat smtproutes
abc.spnetctg.com:localhost
:mail.spnetctg.com
How can I use rcpthosts and is it necessary to use?

Do you think it might be helpful to tell us *how* it was rejected? Or are we
meant to guess?
What did your logs show?
Did you get a bounce? If so, what was it?
Regards.
Well, the purpose of rcpthosts is to specify what domains mail will be
recieved for. If it doesn't exist, you are an open relay. If you're
sending from a certain subnet or IP, you can simply specify what IPs are
exceptions to rctphosts. Or, there are methods of smtp after pop or
straight smtp authentication if you're using a new Netscape or Outlook
Express.
Here's a good site: http://www.sfu.ca/~yzhang/linux/qmail/chap2.html

Hi all,
What is the time interval taken by qmail-send to retry to send its quied
mail. Can it be controled? We can tell qmail-send to retry to send its
quied mail by issueing the signal ALRM. Can it be made auto without using
crond?
Sifat.
I think this is in the docs somewhere. There is a table in life with qmail:

qmailanalog wants seconds and fractional seconds (since start of epoch, I
suppose, although I don't think it actually matters since I believe all of
its calculations are relative). Dan, were you planning on releasing a new
version of qmailanalog sometime at or after qmail 2.0? Is the logging
format going to change sufficiently that I shouldn't put a lot of time
into approving log analysis for 1.03?
Attached is a small program based on tai64nlocal that will convert from
tai64n format to what qmailanalog expects.

Hello!
I have downloaded qtools package. How can I use this with qmail. Can anyone
tell me in comprehensive way or documetation site?
TIA

HI
I�ve got mny qmail to work but then I stopped it and started it with
tcpserver again and it won�t work. When i read the FAQ and doc they only
give examples how to start qmail-smptd directly via tcpserver, but I need to
start it via the /var/qmail/rc which starts qmail with procmail as local
deliverer.
How do I do that?
