With your line in place, I can still recieve mail after the change (so the
extra "tcp-env" was breakign the deamon).
I added the line to my /etd/hosts.allow:
tcp-env: 10.1.4.10: setenv = RELAYCLIENT
When I try to send mail from 10.1.4.10, I get the message:
"An error occured while sending mail.
The mail server responded:
sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1)
Please check the message recipients and try again."

So stupid. Dude, that worked. I had added 10.1.4.10 to /etc/hosts.allow,
and but my client is 192.168.0.10,
so when I changed it, it all works.
Sorry for wasting more space on the mail server.
FAQ's rock!

Now when qmail is RFC 1870 compliant on the server side, how about support
this also on the client side when sending with qmail-remote ;-)

Hello everyone,
I would like to have discussion about my QMAIL problem with fastfwd and
dot-fordward.
I have an account called 'webmaster' on my computer.
Now one of my customers wants [EMAIL PROTECTED] as alias.
Well I did that alias(/etc/aliases): [EMAIL PROTECTED]: custom_01 and
added it to files: locals, rcpthosts and virtualdomains at /var/qmail/control and then
executed command `newaliases`.
After that I tried to send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], but it
fordwarded the message to user webmaster on my computer, not to pop3 box
called custom_01.
And dotfwd & fastfwd seems to work. I made also [EMAIL PROTECTED], and
it fordwarded to pop3 box custom_01
Notice: example.com is not real ;)
Does qmail support `duplicates mailboxes`?

You should never put a domain in locals and virtualdomains. In this case it
should be in virtualdomains only. Also, you must send qmail-send a SIGHUP after
changing locals or virtualdomains.
What exactly did you put in virtualdomains?

That's because you put the domains in locals.

Yeah I did it always when I changed the files.

Well I removed it from locals.. now it says no such box on the system.
this one is on /etc/aliases:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]: js
This one on virtualdomains:
fastshells.de:fastshells.de
Now it says this, when I removed it from locals:
Hi. This is the qmail-send program at pegasus.nuvo.fi.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following
addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

Is there a user account on your machine called fastshells.de? If so, you'll
need this in ~fastshells.de/.qmail-default:
| fastforward -d /etc/aliases.cdb
If there is no such account (and I suspect that there isn't), you'll need to
put the above in ~alias/.qmail-fastshells:de-default.

Hi all,
I recompiled qmail to support saving logs of the messages in a file.
Then, I started to get a copy of every message sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ?
I checked everywhere for this alias , but couldn't find any. So I added
a new alias in the alias file in etc, and tested it, but still it sends
all message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Then it fails when it can't resolve the
address.
Any help is appreciated,
Thanks,
Deya

I think the best choice is to write a qmail-remote wrapper.
Tell me if you solve the problem.
Bye.

Here is a script in Python, originaly is for filtering mails containing the
text "ILOVEYOU" in the subject, but is very easy to modify it.

I'm using multilog and syslog-ng, my system is a high trafic
inbound/outbound relay and works as well.
syslogd is a pig.

Hi ALL,
I have the qmail-mysql (Iain Pattersen patch) running and I get the
following errors:
960186398.488070 delivery 40431: deferral:
Temporary_failure_in_qmail-lspawn./
I get them every minute or so - the local queue has grown considerably
since - ...
Can anyone please shed some light as to why qmail-lspawn would fail??
Many thanks
Tonino
Hi...
This problem might not be directly qmail related, but it is somehow
connected...
After installing qmail on my system, suddenly there was no logging activity
anymore... Nothing new gets written into /var/log/messages anymore?!!?
Does anyone have any ideas?
Goran
Friends are those who, when you must inconvenience them, are less bothered
by it than you.

What have you checked so far? Is syslogd still running?

Friends will help you move; real friends will help you move a body.

Ups, another problem... forgot about it before...
I have a few virtual domain on my system, and now I want to use the mail
address [EMAIL PROTECTED] (the same address on different
domains)...
There was no way to do this, so I somehow tracked it to the fact, that I had
a alias for info in the primary domain on the system
(/var/qmail/alias/.qmail-info). I tried to remove this alias, but the
addresses (info@*) still do not exist?
Any ideas?

Hi,
Two questions.
Seems my ~/.qmail never gets executed by Qmail, so I am not able to have a
functional maildrop or procmail. BTW, is ~/.qmail a script that gets
executed by QMail or is it a file that is read by it to know how to perform
to specific users.
Also I can't seem to get any info on getting amavis working with Qmail. All
the their document says it's ''... integrated due to contribution ...
remains untested"
TIA

Nope, ~/.qmail isn't a script...
There are copious numbers of man pages that come with the default
installation. The one you want is 'man dot-qmail'.
Hope that helps,
Eric
Dear All
Does someone show me a patch for authentication to SMTP services in qmail ?
Thanks a lot
