Hi there
I'd like to setup a priamry to do mail forwarding to a NT exchange server, only if
there is no local account on the primary mail 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.
Hi,
can qmail be changed in such a matter that, instead of (or next to) using
the rcpthosts file, you allow all domains that have as Mx record (primary or
backup) your own specified network range.
And for locals the same question: allow all domains that have as mx record
your own IP address.

Hello everybody,
after several trials qmail is working properly with its minimum
configuration.
Now I'm trying to setup the virtual domain "virdom.com".
I've created the virtualdomains file in /var/qmail/control (there was
not such file, before) and I've added virdom.com:viradm in it.
I've also added virdom.com in rcpthosts.
I've created the viradm user in RedHat6.1 and I've created his Maildir
with maildirmake program. In its /home/viradm/.qmail I've written
"./Maildir/".
I've also created the user joe and in /home/viradm/.qmail-joe I've
written "../joe/Maildir" (of course I had already created
/home/joe/Maildir).
When I send an e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] nothing appears in ~/Maildir/new
(the same thing if I try [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
If I try "telnet 192.168.254.99 25" and then HELO, MAIL FROM: ..., RCPT
TO: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I receive an "ok" from the mail server (no error
messages).
What I'm missing???
Thank you in advance for your help,

That should be "../joe/Maildir/" (note the trailing slash). There are still
problems with this, though. See below.

> (the same thing if I try [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
When qmail-local is delivering to viradm-joe (for mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]), it's
running as the user viradm. I suspect that viradm is not the owner of
../joe/Maildir, so qmail-local, running as viradm, won't be able to deliver
there.

Announce of the following Debian GNU/Linux (potato) packages for testing:
o qmail_1.03-0.5_i386.deb
o dot-forward_0.71-0.2_i386.deb
o fastforward_0.51-0.3_i386.deb
o qmail-run_0.0.4_i386.deb
o daemontools_0.70-0.6_i386.deb
o ucspi-tcp_0.88-0.3_i386.deb
All these packages together set up qmail as mail-transfer-agent on Debian
potato.
Debian/potato users: Please test these packages and take a look if they
comply with http://cr.yp.to/qmail/dist.html and
http://cr.yp.to/qmail/var-qmail.html , they may go into woody later.
Download:
ftp://ftp.innominate.org/pub/pape/Debian/unofficial/{source,binary-i386}/
Or just add
deb ftp://ftp.innominate.org/pub/pape/Debian potato unofficial
deb-src ftp://ftp.innominate.org/pub/pape/Debian potato unofficial
to /etc/apt/sources.list .

Without even looking at them, I can tell you the following:
1) *if* the packages comply with dist.html, they will _never_ get into
potato.
2) If they don't comply with dist.html, you will not be allowed to
distribute them.
It's basically a lose/lose situation. If you want dist.html-compliant debs
for your own use or for unofficial use, that's fine. But they will never go
into debian, because they are in gross violation of debian's packaging
policy, and also there are already source packages for these programs in
debian.

3) DJB approves a non-dist.html compliant package.
Unfortunately that does not seem to be happening.
The requirements for a var-qmail package seem to be targetted
towards systems that already have sendmail installed. I wish Dan
would provide an alternate set of requirements for systems that
come with qmail installed as a default.

1. I do not want them in potato, they may go into woody later, see below.
2. We all know.
I know the source packages in potato. The produced debs do not comply with
dist.html, I would not use them, e.g.: no /var/qmail/bin, nofiles replaced by
nogroup.

I'm using a RedHat 5.2 install running Sendmail. I am installing qmail on this backup
machine at this time. Our naming convention is - [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[root@mailperson2 /var/qmail]# su al.koch
[al.koch@mailperson2 /var/qmail]$ /var/qmail/bin/maildirmake al.koch

What am I missing here? All of my users (only 250) are under /usr/home/. Should they
be under the /home directory?

That worked for me Peter. Thank you. One more question. My users folders (on the
backup machine I'm testing this on) are located under /usr/home. Is this correct or
should they be under /home? I seem to have read this somewhere. I initially created
all of the accounts using 'userconf' > 'user accounts'. If they are actually supposed
to be under /home, is there a way to move them all without re-creating them? On my
main mail server the accounts are under the /home directory.
Thanks for your help!,

The name of the maildir should not be {username}; it should be Maildir.

Please forgive my ignorance but I've only been using Linux for 3 months and qmail for
just a few days..
After I "su - username"
do I "/var/qmail/bin/maildirmake {username}"
or "/var/qmail/bin/maildirmake maildir" ?

Is there a way to selectively strip attachments from e-mail as it passes
through a qmail server? I want to remove all ".vbs" files from any e-mail.

I've implemented a similar scenario for a client, using the
QMAILQUEUE patch along with some CPAN modules.

That's the way it goes. It is documented in the manpages
qmail-send(8) and dot-qmail(5).

Yes. See http://cr.yp.to/im/cname.html for the explanation.
You may want to replace the CNAME record with an MX record
(or an A record).

The log indicates that the recipient address in question is
controlled by the dot-qmail file that contains comments only.
Most likely the controlling dot-qmail file is ~alias/.qmail-default.

Thank you. Had to be sure since I don't have access to the primary DNS
(grumble).

correct. I misread this file, and didn't notice that the line was
commented out.
#| fastforward -d /etc/aliases.cdb
1) how exactly could you tell that from the log data I provided?
2) what would you expect to find in this file (or elsewhere) to induce the
expected bounce behavior?

Mail bounces because it is permanently undeliverable. Why do you want to try to
deliver it over and over again?

qmailers,
just heard from a reliable source that a new virus maybe propagating
with the name life_states.txt. I realize its only a txt, but maybe another
extension is hidden. I don't know, im just relaying what maybe useful
data.

When LOVELETTER hit, Johan was kind enough to post an example of the
actual, MIME-still-encoded, text of the virus:
http://www.almqvist.net/~johan/virus.txt
I've seen the helpful page about Stages.worm at:
http://www.antivirus.com/vinfo/virusencyclo/default5.asp?VName=VBS_STAGE
S.A
Unfortunately, it doesn't show the "source" text of the virus. Does
anyone have an example of what this virus looks like? I'd like to know
if our filters are going to work against it.
Thanks in advance!

Yup. And its configuration language is the shell, whereas sendmail's
configuration language is a customize language that's so obtuse and
obscure even Sendmail Inc. advises users not to use it.

I've seen a few mail systems notify users that mail hasn't been
delivered when it's been queued for X number of days, but hasn't yet
expired. Say your queuelifetime is set to 1 week. After a message
hasn't delivered for 1 day, let the sender know that it hasn't and also
that you (the mail server) will keep trying for another 6 days.
Has anyone seen a patch like this? Any thoughts on implementing the idea?
Thanks,

I'm thinking in a large scale mail server, providing pop3 and imap4 access
to the mailboxes stored in a diferent server and shared via NFS.
I want to use mailboxes like these :
/mailboxes1/user1/user
/mailboxes1/user2/user
/mailboxes2/user3/user
..
..
..
/mailboxesN/userN/user
At the same time the imap4/pop3/smtp service must be able to read and write
from these mailboxes.
Can any give me a pointer to this information ?
Thank's

OK. I have a bunch of user accounts setup on Imail/NT
and I want to migrate to Qmail. One Problem: I do not have any of the
users passwords and I want to do the migration without messing up their
passwords (and even more importantly, without them knowing). So I
have two questions:
1) How do I correctly take user passwords and move them to
Qmail?
2) What email-in-a-browser utilities exist for Qmail that
simulate the Imail interface?

I don't know what Imail is... if it uses the SAM passwords, L0phtcrack
works surprisingly well. If not, use something like dsniff over a few
days and grab most of the passwords off the wire.

You can try to crack them using one of the many, many NT password
crackers, depending on the password algorithm the software uses.
One method we're looking at possibly using with a customer is to set up
a modified POP proxy in front of the NT POP server for a few weeks. The
proxy will note the username and password and then relay the connection
through (obviously you'll need to modify the proxy source to log passwords).

Don't go there. Too much time-consuming cracking the passwords. We tried
that first.

Now your talking. Exactly what we did. Worked perfectly. The client POPed
in, proxy did a check if the account was local, if not then POPed into the
old NT server and retrieved the mail from there. This was done with logging,
so after a while we had the users password in clear text for further
processing into the SQL database.
Your welcome to contact me, and I'll se what we have of old code and
information for this solution.
You have to prepaire to leave this solution on for ~3 months, depending on
how many users you have. You will end up with some accounts never logged
into, cleaning up I think you call it ;)

hi all,
on my qmail box i can see about 20 qmail-smtpd processes. now, this can
either mean that one of my users (allowed through tcp.smtp) is sending lots
of mail out, or another mail server out on the internet is sending lots of
mail in.
about 5 of these processes are from IP addresses that i recognise (in my
system), a couple of them are IP addresses of mail servers that i know, but
there are a substantial number qmail-smtpd processes that have
TCPREMOTEIP=202.59.39.88 (i can tell this by doing a psaxfe)
what is my course of action? these qmail-smtpd processes are just sitting
there... is this a legitimate mail server sending me mail, or someone trying
to spam my system? (or trying to relay through my system?)
I traceroute to the IP address and get no where.

Is there any other factor for qreceipt to fail?
It seems that my qreceipt programs does not function.....
Since yesterday evening, one of my users has not been receiving
mail. Everyone else, including me, continues to receive/send mail with no
problems.
Here's a typical log sequence:
2000-06-20 08:54:18.530389500 starting delivery 50923: msg 124573 to local
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
2000-06-20 08:54:18.530481500 status: local 10/10 remote 8/20
Then there are no more references to delivery 50923 in the log file, but
what I see is a range of hanging processes, one for each message to "bob",
as follows (ps -ef):
bob 2725 2720 0 10:38:50 pts/1 0:00 bin/qmail-local -- bob
/home/sebastian3/bob bob ifi.unizh.ch owner-sig-wtk
We use dot-forward and procmail processing for local deliveries.
I have checked the following
- the user has no .qmail, .forward, or .procmail file
- the user owns his directory, and it is not world writable
- the user directory is mounted on the mail server
- the user directory does not have the +t flag on it
What else could it be that is causing qmail-local to hang, i.e. not defer
or return some other status code.
Any help much appreciated.
FWIW, OS is Solaris 2.6 on an Enterprise 250 machine.
regards,
Will
