Hi all,
I have installed Qmail-1.03 with:
qmail-103.patch
qmail-date-localtime.patch
qmail-etrn-0.1f.diff
ucspi-tcp-0.84
fastforward-0.51
All running on 4.0-RELEASE FreeBSD
When i send an email from:
machine1 to user@machine3
the mail arrives at machine2 (secondary MX for Machine3)
I then get on machine3 and manually run
etrn machine3
Apon doing so, I get the error "458 Couldn't exec qmail-etrn"
In /var/qmail/control/etrn I have the following
machine3 192.168.0.10/32 192.168.0.10/32
Can someone please tell me what I have done wrong ?
Thank you

I've attached the diff to alter the message file. This should make it work
with multilog files. Works for me anyway... :)
Diffs are easy: assuming you're in your working source dir, the original
qmail-mrtg stuff is in a dir called qmail-mrtg.orig/ and your new stuff is
in qmail-mrtg/, just do:
diff -ru qmail-mrtg.orig/ qmail-mrtg/ > patchfile
There are other options, but I've found this to be the easiest.

hi,
I've just installed qmail in a new box and everytime qmail starts,
it greets me with the following msg:
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail restart
Stopping qmail: qmail qmail/log (already down) done.
Starting qmail: qmail/log (will be started later) qmail done.
and the same seems to happen with the other qmail modules: noone is
logging. My current log-handler is Syslog (just because I didn't touch a
thing from the standard qmail install), and Syslog seems to be running
fine (other services log just fine).
now I've spent 2 hours of my sunday trying to find how to get
logging to run, even under Syslog, and I just couldn't find the way. Can
anybody point me to any obvious mistake I may be making?

CDB is set up to access entries in large databases very quickly. It
should be perfectly acceptable to have that large a CDB file.

Nothing. As long as your cdb file is smaller than 4G, its lookup
performance should be more or less constant.

hi,
I been running qmail 1.03, vpopmail, and fetchmail on mandrake 6.1 for
about 5 months now, with no (serious) problems.
however I get the follow errors:
(which are more likely to be fetchmail's [anyone the mailing list address? -
I have no web access!!])

The postmaster never gets these mails, they just don't exist. However
because of the 'bomb out' the next time I dial up the same result occurs and
I end up trapped in a loop, of check mail, get the once in the list above
the erroring one, then bomb out. I only spot this when I get the same mail
every 30 mins. Then have to delete the mail from the ISP's server.
It's currently only the mailing list shown above [that breaks thing], so I
need to know how to block there domain or fix fetchmail/qmail to work
(prefered option).
BTW: I've checked the ISP's message source and it doesn't contain a 'for' in
any of the received section.
If anyone has any ideas (or who to ask), solutions, or even hints on what to
change I would be very grateful..

also BTW:
But during that time ever mail received mail from my ISP produces the
following error: (or something very close -i.e. change the vaules). Does
this show a somehow broken but working qmail/fetchmail

the mail loads okay, and gets deleted of the ISP's system, and I assume that
it a functions of using forcecr (see below in the fetchmail rc)

My experience with webboard mail servers is that they are broken. They
don't accept <> as a valid envelope sender address. As far as I could
tell this wasn't a configurable option.
Hello!
I would like to catch multiple mails of standard form...
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
...
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
into one mailbox [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Any simple solution?
Thanks!

Yes. Make mydomain.net a virtual domain. For instance:
In /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains :
mydomain.net:mydomain
And in ~mydomain/.qmail-default :
./Maildir/
Hope that helps,

Ronny thanks for your reply, but your solution doesn't suit my requirements
because I'm not admin of the host and acc [EMAIL PROTECTED] already exist.
Also the other emails should be delivered to other recipient on
mydomain.net.
I have only permission to create .qmail-xxx files with commands. Probably I
should create perl script for filtering emails. Can someone advise me some
examples - major problem seems to me how to forward emails without parsing
and sending them again - problem with attachemnts?
Sorry for annoying!

Then what you ask cannot be done exactly. However, you can catch
all of the mail to anzej-*@mydomain.net very simply:
echo "<otheruser>" > ~anzej/.qmail-default
or, if you only want addresses like [EMAIL PROTECTED],
[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
for n in 100 101 102; do echo "<otheruser>" > ~anzej/.qmail-mail$n; done
(there's probably a much better way to do this)
Users are not allowed to take over or change the mail accounts
of other users, specifically because this would be a huge security
hole.

Guys at FQ found me the right solutions. I just have to create
.qmail-mail-default file with contents "&[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and it works! It
catch all the mails in form [EMAIL PROTECTED]
That is why because qmail-local will look for (in order):
1) .qmail-mail-02
2) .qmail-mail-default
3) .qmail-default
Thanks everyone!

Assuming mydomain.net is in control/virtualdomains:
mydomain.net:mydomain
then for each account that should not be delivered to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] create a .qmail, for example: for [EMAIL PROTECTED]
create ~mydomain/.qmail-john containing whatever instruction(s)
desired.
To catch all other unspecified local part *@mydomain.net, simply
create ~mydomain/.qmail-default containing instruction to save to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]'s mailbox.

Ronny
Does anyone know ETRN+qmail ?
Gang -
I'm sorry for posting this - I have already contacted David (author of above
package) but thought someone on the list may be able to lend a further hand
based on experience.
I have been busy installing smtp-poplock to allow selective relaying. I am
running the following setup:
celeron 333...96MB RAM, 128M swap.
redhat 6.2 with all the latest rpm's
qmail 1.03
ezmlm-idx 0.53
smtp-poplock 2.04
qpopper3.0.2
I am running into problems running relaylock. After I insert relaylock into my
/var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run file, port 25 stops receiving email. When
I check my logs, I see the following error:
@400000003941343e004fcbbc perl: error in loading shared libraries: libcrypt.so.1:
failed to map segment from shared object: Cannot allocate memory
@400000003941343e0072ff74 tcpserver: end 762 status 32512
I upgraded perl and my kernel to the latest versions and verified that I had
the latest version of glibc installed. From what I understand of this error
message, it's supposed to mean that there was insufficient memory available to
allow loading of shared objects...but when I ran top I found that I had 2.4M
physical RAM available and 100+M of swap available.
My question: is there anything I am missing? I tried turning off everything
runnign on my machine and running it again - same error.
Thanks for any and all help, and please let me know if I can supply any
additional necessary information.
Brandon
User directories already setup on the different partition which is good, but
I cannot get command right. Could anybody help me with the syntax.
Man pages are not very clear how to specify the limit. Is it bits bytes megs
Example would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Anyone knows a tool that I can incorporate with qmail so it can just remove
any extentions
that are reiceived with .VBS and/or .EXE and .COM?
thank you.

this problem is one level higher up. qmail does not interpret nor analyze
the data it is supposed to transport. you should try to get this to work
at the mime level.

Thanks for the tip, I read everything in the links you gave me, but still
doesn't work.
I checked the tcprules using tcprulescheck:
tcprulescheck /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb 200.38.239.65
and the response is:
rule 200.38.239.:
set environment variable RELAYCLIENTE=
allow connection
And still it won't send any e-mail to the outside word.

Well, it looks like you misspelled "RELAYCLIENT." Remove the "E"
there at the end and you should be fine.
Aaron
Sorry I mispelled it in the e-mail, but in the system is right, the rule
looks like this:
200.38.239.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
If I do:
ps auxww | grep qmail it shows:
tcpserver -v -x/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -u71 -g65534 0 25
rblsmtpd -rrelays.orbs.org /var/qmail/qmail-smtpd
among other processes....

What I am trying to say is that I checked the tcprules on tcp.smtp.cdb using
tcprulescheck and the results were:
tcprulescheck /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb 200.38.239.65
rule 200.38.239.:
set environment variable RELAYCLIENT=
allow connection
and by doing the ps auxww | grep qmail is shows that qmail-smtp is using the
same rules I checked, the rules located in /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb
tcpserver -v -x/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -u71 -g65534 0 25
rblsmtpd -rrelays.orbs.org /var/qmail/qmail-smtpd
Please help because I am even having a hard time sending e-mail to this list
and I do not understand what is going on, as soon as I place the rcpthosts
file in /var/qmail/control with the name of my servers
ml.com.mx
corellinux.ml.com.mx
cscc.edu.mx
it won't send e-mail anyplace besides this domains hosted in the same
server.
Thanks....

i just tried to check the conditions given and found that my system does
not even recognize rules properly. i didn't notice because i had an
experimental setup without involving tcpserver, it was only when i tried to
connect to my internal nntp-service that the truth came to be known!
from reading the source, which is still the only valid documentation, i
could trace the error thru tcpserver, tcprules and tcprulescheck, which
seem to be written to do what one intuitively thinks they should do.
remains cdb.

The MUA, maybe in cooperation with the mail injector (which I consider
part of the MUA), controls the envelope sender.
The Return-Path header is only a copy of the envelope sender added by
the MTA that finally delivers the message to a mailbox.

I 'm managing a server with Sqwebmail 0.36 now, but I still have a problem
with the return path, as the server name is server.somesite.or.id and the
domain for the user is just only somesite.or.id
so bob email address will be [EMAIL PROTECTED]
In vpopmail, I didn;t compile it with --default-domain=somesite.or.id,
because if I do, then when users check their mail, by using only their
username, and not username%domain, they will got response from the POP
server like this (sorry I a bit forgot it)
error, aack client crash.
So I prefer to rm the ~vpopmail/users and then link with
ln -s ~vpopmail/domains/somesite.or.id ~vpopmail/users
It works, and people can fetch their mail by using only their username, and
not full address, they can also login to sqwebmail by only typing their
username, and don;t neet to type their full address.
The problem is, that, when users only insert their username when they login
to the webmail, their return path will be like
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Of Course, this is wrong, and makes people can't know if their mails which
they sent, bounce, because the bounce will go to postmaster account as
double bounce.
But if they login using their full email address like [EMAIL PROTECTED],
then the return path IS correct.
My question is how to solve this problem ?, is this DNS problem, or
sqwebmail problem, or vpopmail problem ?
thanks
We are planning to have a new server, and it can be a Dual Pentium III
server, with 512 RAM, and RAID 5 controller with 2 X 18 giga drives to
serve about 12,000 email account @ 2 M for our students, and web space
about @1 M,
My question is, can linux handle this so large system, especially from the
inode problem.
Can by doing this
echo "16384" > /proc/sys/fs/file-max
echo "65536" > /proc/sys/fs/inode-max
solve the inode problem then ?
Or should we use like NetBSD or FreeBSD ?
Beside that, as we want to give web space too for the students, can mysql
handle this heavy load, because we want to make the password for web and
mail the same, so my plan is using vpopmail + mysql, and proftpd + mysql,
so they will share the same database password, and when users change their
email password, they change their FTP password at the same time.
Thanks.
Hi
probably linux should be able to handle. as for mysql it also depends how
many concurrent connections you have etc.etc.

Greetings,
I know I cannot block mail that is coming from <> because
of course I would be preventing bounces from coming in, but
lately I've been getting hit with spam sent to multiple users
disguised as a bounce. I've tried putting that IP in my
tcprules file (bad-guy-IP:deny) but still the mail gets through.
Any thoughts on how to prevent this mess?
mike.

Be more specific. Which file? Have you recreated the cdb file? How
does the mail get through? From which IP? Is the IP blocked by your
rules? What do the logs say?

I set up qmail-pop3d via lwq. So it is being run from inetd like this:
pop-3 stream tcp nowait root /var/local/qmail/bin/qmail-popup
qmail-popup youwasahero.com /bin/checkpassword
/var/local/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir
(all on one line in inetd.conf)
Whenever someone checks their mail via pop, I get an error in syslog:
Jun 12 19:40:00 masina inetd[496]: pid 10599: exit status 1
The mail transfers okay over pop, so what does this mean?
Hello
I have installed Qmail 1.03, it seems to work fine,
except I can't read my mail by netscape.
What should I do to fix it?
Thanks

You should describe it more elaboratively if you want answers here.
What do you mean by "read my mail by netscape"?
Have you installed a POP-server? Is it this POP-fetch from that fails with
Netscape clients? How does this failure appear? Any error messages? Any
log-entries, maybe?

I don't think you read my mail.
You said. "I can't read my mail by netscape". What do you mean by that?
Netscape is a Mail User Agent. A mail client.
qmail is a mail server.
If you want to fetch your mail and read it in Netscape (even if the client
is running on the same machine as the server) you'll have to install a
client protocol service such as POP (or IMAP).
Check out http://www.qmail.org/ and especially the documentation in Life
With Qmail that pretty straightforward describes how this is done.

Has anyone installed any of the POP-before-SMTP
packages available on the www.qmail.org page on
Solaris 7 SUCCESSFULLY?
Please let me know.
