hi all , sachin here ,
what i want is i am useing aceindia.com as local mail server. some user are located at diffrent location . there is also qmail mail server with aceindia.com as local mail server. what i want for that location user mail should send to my isp smtp server without changing the rcpt & from header.
ex local user [EMAIL PROTECTED] other location user is [EMAIL PROTECTED]
when i compose message for [EMAIL PROTECTED] it should user my isp smtp server fro sending mail .
further help is required
Hi There, I recive all mail sent to my domain from a single pop3 account via dialup. If I send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] via a local account I get a bounce as I would like. The problem is mails recived via my pop3 account when bouncing thay go to postmaster. Now I would like the bouncing mail to go the the outgoing mailque (pppdir) so that the person sending the mail sees it's a bad address. How can I fix this so bouncing mail goes back to Return-Path and not my postmaster? // Magnus

At hang situatin, it receives mail from any smtp client but does not delever it to destination. All mails are queued. I have to restart the machine to get life working. qmail works nice for 2/3 days and suddenly hangs again. Even if I kill qmail-send and restart it again (of give kill -ALRM `pidof qmail-send`), it doesnt work properly. Any help please? What do the logs show after you do kill -ALRM? What kind of system is this? If it's Linux, what version of the kernel and glibc are you running?
Director tecnico del Nodo Nicarao -- Juan Navas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: I was checking my qmail queue (with ./qmail-qread) and I found a lot of : . . done remote [EMAIL PROTECTED] doen remote " done remote " done remote " done remote " done remote " . Can you tell me what documentation should I read in order to clean all these "done remote"? Don't worry about it. All qmail-qread is telling you is that there is a message in the mail queue which was sent to many addresses and not all of them have been delivered to yet. When all have been delivered to, the message will disappear from the mail queue (and hence, from qmail-qread's output).
Probably you have listed from .qmail-qread and the status is one of the sender who provided a cc to many ppl. Anyway I can manually clean it. done means it has already been sent, you know. But at least there is a one address under same mail which is still to delevery. If you wan to clean it you can go to /var/qmail/queue/ and find out the file name from ./info/ , ./mess and ./remote directry which is the same as message ID. Now just delete the file. Sifat.

Hi all! I use qmail-pop3 for my pop users. They can check their mail, but they cannot change their password from pop clients (sya from eudora). What can I do? Please help.. Sifat.

hi, actually those rules are very regional. In Rochester it is not against the AUP to run web servers, ftp, game servers ... etc. That is of course, assuming you are not doing anything illegal. If you are taking up to much bandwidth, they will throttle your modem. Period. (having worked there, i know how they operate) but i did look up the business rates (when i worked there they hadnt started offering business service yet) and they wanted roughly $700 a month for the same service i get now. sorry, that i will not do. brian ************************************************************ That was one of the reasons given, which I and many other RR people think is bogus.

I think that this is a very reasonable policy. Time Warner cable in Manhattan is about to start a huge marketing campaign to push their cable modem service[1], which looks like to be RoadRunner. Screw them. [1] Yes, folks, until just a few short weeks ago, cable modem service has not been available in Manhattan.
Hey everyone, I am getting a message that is telling my "qq write error or disk full (#4.3.0)" This is what the output of my 'df' command shows, so I don't think that it's a disk full issue...

Actually, it probably is. > Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on > /dev/wd0s1e 19815 11179 7051 61% /var qmail is (usually) installed under /var, and this is where the queue is too. This line above shows that you have approximately 7MB of free disk space on /var, so a 21MB email couldn't possibly fit there. Also keep in mind that file attachements grow in size when sent with emails, a 21MB file as an attachment is more like 30MB in the email. Actually, your /var is in its entirety is less than 20MB... Very tiny, for a mail spool partition. Hope this helps, Mikko -- // Mikko H�nninen, aka.

I retrieve email for a virtual domain hosted elsewhere with fetchmail which then connects to my local qmail via SMTP. All email from that source then goes to one local account. I would like to have the system look at the ``X-Envelope-To:'' header (which is kindly provided by the hosting company) and redirect email accordingly to various different local accounts. What would be the best way of doing this? -- Manfred Bartz

Hi , I'm a new qmail user having a problem with relays. I'm using tcpserver with 1 domain in rcpthosts and the following in etc/tcp.smtp 200.242.253.0:allow,RELAYCLIENT="" :allow According to what I've read, this should allow only users with 200.242.253.* to use my server as a relay. But when I test remotely using mail-abuse.org , the test messages are allowed through. What do I need to do to solve this problem ? Roberto Samarone Araujo

All easily enough done - the FAQ has an entry on this, as follows: ]How do I forward unrecognized usernames to another host?

Well, I could tell exchange "If you don't know this >address, kick it to the qmail box." Either that, or you could just add alias entries on Exchange saying that mail for "autoprog" goes to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and that'll forward it out to the relay machine. >But then if exchange doesn't know it, and it's not local for qmail, qmail >will want to send it back. And if I read the docs right, then postmaster is >going to get it. That depends. If the recipient in question is local to your domain, then yes, qmail will forward it back to Exchange, which will generate a bounce message - which will be correct, because by definition both Exchange and Qmail don't know who it is for. Either the address is bad, or one of your servers needs the appropriate user added. If the recipient in question is not local to your domain, then qmail will attempt to deliver the message to its final recipient at (wherever). Assuming your firewall does not block the qmail machine from doing so, it'll succeed as well as it would directly from Exchange. >Can anyone think of a way to work this? I imagine someone's already done >something similar. Or *is* there a good way for exchange to trade directory >info with qmail so qmail can route by address? I run a similar setup. Our MX hosts are qmail machines, and they act as relays for the Exchange server. They relay in from the Internet, they relay out from Exchange. I don't know of any way to trade directory info... but I don't think you really need to do that. Hope this helps - if not, please clarify if I've misunderstood anything. Greg
