I tried to use the script chkattach by Noel G. Mistula,
(http://www.ornl.gov/its/archives/mailing-lists/qmail/1999/07/msg00518.html)
but I got a problem when the sender and the receiver are implementing
the same check.
The message is discarded (triple bouncing) because nobody wants to
accept it. The main problem is the missing of a notice, in that way
nobody knows why the massage was discarded.
Any hint?

Dear All,
A thanks to all those whom have contributed to qmail - I've used it on
lots of servers for 9 months with very few issues, and am very happy
with it.
I am having a few problems which I believe are not qmail issues - but I
need more info before I contact other admins.
I have a qmail setup on a pentium 90 (16 meg ram) that manages a few (2
real domains - with about 10 low trafic aliases) domains with vpopmail.
Trafic is very low!
I find repeated entries:
Jun 15 10:21:15 mailgate qmail: 961064475.400874 delivery 17215:
deferral: Sorry,_I_couldn't_find_any_host_by_that_name._(#4.1.2)/
I get arround 200 messages a week - that appear to be arround 10
messages to the same domain - in this case smartaxis.co.uk - here is a
part of header:
> >Received: from mailgate.pipistrel.com ([193.195.219.40] verified)
> > by smartaxis.co.uk (CommuniGate Pro SMTP 3.2.4)
> > with SMTP id 338741 for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Fri, 16 Jun 2000
> 16:30:36 +0100
> >Received: (qmail 10115 invoked from network); 16 Jun 2000 11:34:19 -0000
> >Received: from pc27.pipistrel.com (HELO pipistrel.com) (192.168.1.27)
> > by mailgate.pipistrel.com with SMTP; 16 Jun 2000 11:34:19 -0000
I.e the messages are defered for arround 6 hours (which I know is qmail
expected behavour ..)
What excactly does the:
deferral: Sorry,_I_couldn't_find_any_host_by_that_name._(#4.1.2)/
Mean - is I have have the MX record but cannot resolve the name to an IP
? or I cannot get the MX record ? or I have an IP but cannot get through
to the box ?
It all sounds to me a DNS issue - The server is also an internal DNS for
the 20 or so PC's in the office - but this "appears" to be fine.
Any help would be much appreciated.

hello,
i am running qmail on a suse linux server with its systemclock set
correctly. unfortunately, qmail sets an incorrect time to every outgoing
mail. system time and time in mails differs in exactly 2 hours, i.e.
writing a mail at 16:00 o'clock sets time to 14:00 o'clock in the mail.
any ideas why ?

Because qmail always uses GMT and you're GMT+2.

I'm using the qmailadmin program (CGI on web server) and it fully supports
vpopmail configuration, including local mail user delivery (if I'm not
mistaken -- I don't use that feature).

My questions was that there is not docs for the vconvert program, nor any
doc's if you don't check the mail via POP3 (ie the users are on the same
machine).
Not a lot of unix MUA have POP3 support.
I finally figured out that I could forward the mail to a 'local' user by
adding a vpopaccount, then creating a foward to the same user @localhost.
A bit of a hack.. but it worked.

Yup. Unfortunately it does not specify what tags are used where to
indicate the status. It merely refers to 'done' and 'not done'.
I'm also trying to figure out what the 'F' flag on the addresses in the
'remote' queue means...

hello all
can u help me setting up Maildir
here iam not able to setup Maildir
thanks
> can u help me setting up Maildir

Easy, correct method:
/var/qmail/bin/maildirmake {username}
Long, cumbersome, error-prone method:
cd ~{username}
mkdir Maildir
mkdir Maildir/new
mkdir Maildir/cur
mkdir Maildir/tmp
chown -R {username}[.:]{usergroup} Maildir
chmod -R 600 Maildir

hi,
is there a difference in using qmail-pop3d with either inetd or ucspi-tcp ?

Yes, under high load (in fact when there are more than N requests per
second), inetd will reject new clients (usually during 5 minutes) .
tcpserver has not that "feature". You may also try G2S available from
http://www.jedi.claranet.fr

I will paraphrase what's in your signature as an answer to your question:
ucspi-tcp ... life's too short for the obsolete inetd!
See http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp/tcpserver.html for details.

I'm seeing the same thing here whenever I post to the list. I logged
about 1000 hits to my nameserver in about an hour, and went slightly
into "curious" mode because I never get that kind of traffic on my small
home LAN. I wondered at first if it was some sort of stealth attack
because the queries seemed to be coming from all over the world - until
I realized that it was just other list members' spam filters, probably
scanning the Recieved: lines or some such.
I guess it's just one of those interesting things about the internet...
