Hi,
Any triple bounce should go to the MAILER-DAEMON. Just make sure that
the recepient of the MAILER-DAEMON "doesn't" use this script because it will
bounce forever.
With regards to the original message I think it's always appended on the
bounced mail.
cheers
Noel Mistula

Hi,
I've just installed QMail, and am trying to use the drop in replacement
for sendmail in /var/qmail/bin/.
Whenever I run the program, I get the following error:
> sendmail: fatal: unable to run qmail-inject
Anyone able to help?
TIA,

Do you need to do this?
$ chmod 755 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject

No - but how embarrasment: my script had actually overwritten
qmail-inject!
Thanks for the sideways hint - it's working like a dream now.

Just use qmail-inject. That call qmail-queue (which in your case will
really be qmail-qmqpc). Or, if you want to be consistent with other
sites nots using qmail, call /usr/lib/sendmail -t. That should be a
symlink to /var/qmail/bin/sendmail which calls qmail-inject which
calls qmail-queue.

I am using qmail + vmailmgr for my pop3 mail. For me it was just
great. The version of the vmailmgr is 0.96.6.
While waiting for the quota feature in the next release, is there any
temporary workaround to cater this? Or any other alternative worth
trying?
Thanks all.

Don't forget to "su" to the user before you
execute maildirmake.

Has anyone tried patching qmail with qmail-smtpd-auth and Iain Patterson's
MySQL+QMAIL patch?
I plan on doing this and would like to know in advance whether I can expect
trouble... :-)
Thanks in advance, Goran

Send me the resulting patch or suggestion. I can include it on my page.

I am a qmail newbie <gag>.
I am setting up a virtual domain, with the intent of creating a mailing
list to operate from within that domain, but I cannot seem to get the
virtual domain delivery to operate as expected. I didn't perform the
qmail install on this box, but I suspect something is highly wrong ... I
just can't figure it out myself.
I know that dot-forward and fastforwarding are both installed here, but I
can't find anything to explain this behavior (I probably don't know where
to look).
Starting at the beginning:
I RTFMP and RTFFAQ, and followed the directions there:
add starfire.worlddomination.net:nepolon-starfire to virtualhosts
add starfire.worlddomination.net to rcpthosts
kill -HUP the qmail-send proc
But, I had to create a .qmail-starfire-default before local-local mail
to the virtdomain would work. Otherwise I was getting:
> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
> Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1)
This tips me off that something is rotten, so I play gumshoe...
This is the .qmail-starfire-default:
/home/nepolon/mail/inbox
Here is a local-local(virt) with the .qmail-starfire-default in place:

This is as expected (though I didn't expect to need the dot-qmail as
qmail-local does the same thing. I continue testing. This is
remote-local(virt) [To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]] with the
.qmail-starfire-default in place:

And this is the crux of _my_ problem (with virtual domains). Local
delivery can be made to work, but if the mail comes from the outside it
doesn't recognise the destination as a virtual host. Is this because the
DNS record for starfire.worlddomination.net is a CNAME of
worlddomination.net rather than another record?
Further evidence of foul play...
This is what happens on local-local(bounce):

Very wrong. We have no user 'nonexistant' ... where is the bounce? This
can make it rather difficult to find the message I sent to

What happens when you telnet to port 25 ?
My telnet session is successful :
bash-2.04# telnet 208.235.228.2 25
Trying 208.235.228.2...
Connected to 208.235.228.2.
Escape character is '^]'.
HELO
220 qmail.dnb.com ESMTP
502 unimplemented (#5.5.1)
250 qmail.dnb.com
So it's probably a setting in your Outlook (express) Client ....

This is a bad idea, IMHO.
In fact they can connect, eat up one tcpserver connection for a short
time, before the connection will be terminated by tcpserver.
You will get connection attempts over connection attempts and the remote host
will retry every message until it expires (i.e. usually one week).
As other mailservers don't use the friendlich quadratic retry algorithm
that qmail uses, but rather aggressive short retry times you may run into
severe problems.

Hi there
I'd like to setup a priamry to do mail forwarding to a NT exchange server
it would be useful if a copy of each forwarded e-mail could be saved on the qmail
server for 30 days or so
what's the best way of doing this...

Before you buy.
all my incoming mails are gone (i cant find them) even if i have a
succesful mail delivery
my /var/qmail/rc file content:
exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \
qmail-start ./Maildir
is this correct?

Nope, you need another / after Maildir ....
it should be ./Maildir/ ... if you omit the last / qmail sees it as an mbox named
Maildir.
