I suppose you're looking to do filtering, right?
Netscape will filter messages for you, and put them into
a different folder, etc. Just click on Edit->Message Filters,
and create a filter that puts any message with
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" in the To: or Cc: headers into a
different folder. Presto!
Hope that helps,

Have you installed vpopmail without reading what it is suppouse to do for
you?
Have you tested the POP-service? Or does "it delivers emails perfectly"
just refer to ordinary local and remote delivery?

That says that at the time qmail is started, the default delivery
instruction is set to the *contents* of /home/Maildir. This is
almost certainly not what you want. If you want delivery to a maildir
called Maildir in the user's home directory, try:
exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \
qmail-start ./Maildir/
-Dave
I can't switch from Mailbox to Maildir format !.... Ahhh!!.. :((
I'm using LDAP to make the lookups, I was changed the /var/qmail/rc with
Maildir, but qmail still deliverying localy in Mailbox format !....
What's wrong ??
RDA.-
Do you have a .qmail file in the user's home dir ?
Example:
# cat /home/accounts/bill/.qmail
./Maildir/
Cheers /Tobbe
I just wanted to thank everyone for their help so far! I'm close to getting this
together and running
but.... I'm still getting one error at startup!
supervise: fatal: unable to start qmail-smtpd/run: exec format error
My /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run file contains:

Dave Kelly asked :
Q- Something is already bound to port 25. Have you turned off sendmail?
A- Yes, Sendmail is dead but I still can't telnet to port 25.
Q- Have you checked to see that there are no errant qmail-smtpd processes already
running?
A- No qmail processes are running.
(Plus, you'll still need to correct the ownership or permissions on
/var/log/qmail)
drwxrwxr-x 6 qmaill root 1024 May 31 14:37 qmail
I changed some things around in my /etc/passwd file, but I'm such a newbie I don't
which one
is correct. From LWQ section 2.5.4 I had,
qmaill:*:879:602::/var/qmail:/bin/true
and from another source I had,
qmaill:!!:879:602::/var/qmail:/bin/bash (this is in there now).
I don't know if the above has anything to do with my problem. Is one format correct
and the other not? Thanks for your help and patience!

We're upgrading to newer, more powerful servers and
my question involves the queue on the old servers.
Is there a safe, reliable way to just transfer the
queue to the new servers right away, or would it be
best to simply leave the old servers up for 7 days
so that the messages can just dissapear on their own?
Thanks,

hello all-
I've just recently completed an install of a new mailserver running qmail.
I've got some other linux boxes laying around, and I would like to load test
the mailserver over the weekend. Does anyone have suggestions for software
or scripts, perhaps using perl or expect, that will connect to the smtp port
remotely, send some mail to x users, wait a bit, and connect to the pop
port, check the mail for those users, and then delete it? I coded some
perl/expect hybrid script to do it, but it doesn't work right (I used
autoexpect, so I'm not surprised). Any suggestions? Last time I did this I
ended up just perl scripting a call to qmail-inject for 4 different users,
and setting up a normal pop client to check mail every 1 minute. The client
crashed and the sends didn't actually use the smtp port though so it wasn't
a real test.
Thanks in advance,
Brian

Hey Brian,
I did a web search and finally found some source code written in C by the guys
at Stalker Software (Communigate Pro) used to test smtp and pop loads... I
compiled it on a linux box and used the programs to test a linux/Qmail server
before I dropped it into a production environment a few months ago. This should
be exactly what you are looking for...
Here's their webpage:

Hope this helps ;)

Hi,
I guess the subject says it all, I'm looking for the vpopmail of mailing
list management to work with qmail.
Basically, I want to have one virtual user with one .qmail file in it
leading to one program which will then handle multiple lists for multiple
domains.
I can have multiple domains delivered by putting
domain1.com:listmanager
domain2.com:listmanager
into virtualdomains etc. however, I don't know of much that will then
process it.
MailMan seems to be the nearest option, and will appear to work with qmail.
Ok, it doesn't have a mysql backend, but I can live without.
I don't think that ezmlm is this program, because it's dependant on too
many .qmail files. It also (afaik) needs one user per virtual domain.
Did I mention it needed bounce handling, web interfaces, digests and other
chummy MLM features too?
Does such a program exist? Or do I need to write it !?
thanks
peter

I think you should use ezmlm (despite of the fact you think it's not
good). If you look at qmailadmin (see links on qmails' site) you will
see it has lots of options you need. And I don't think that one
directory (because it's not user just directory) is too bad.
Try to look what's inside all .qmail files created by ezmlm-make. You
can change them whatever you want and I'm sure it will work.
I wrote my own scripts in php which are started via apache (suexeced
to user vpopmail and group vchkpw) and they can change a lot of ezmlm
options. If you just have some free time sit and write your own
scripts. If you don't have it you can gimme a email and I can send you
some of mine (but there are really under-developing ;) )

If you mean Berkeley mbox-format, no. It's designed for Maildirs.
There are several other POP3 daemons which support mboxes -- check your
favourite software archive or www.qmail.org for details.

After entering the username/password I get an error like this :

Any ideas ?
PS: Now I'm using Maildir format, I also using LDAP patches.

I believe qmail-pop3d is designed only to be run with tcpserver -- it may
depend on some of the environment variables which tcpserver sets up for it,
and it almost certainly depends on the file descriptors being set up.
You may be able to get it to run from inetd by using tcp-env, but I would
recommend going with tcpserver; it's much easier than using inetd anyways,
along with being much more reliable and configurable.

Shoot me but I'm running everything thru inetd for the moment. I found the
entry some where in the docs, here is my entry:
pop3 stream tcp nowait root /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup qmail-popup puny.vm.com
/bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir
(one line)
I'm going to get tcpserver running but to make it a sort of specialized
dataserver, then I'll move everything over.

Hello,
I just did a recent install of qmail and installed the ucpsi tools as well.
I added the bootscripts for qmail as well. The problem is that qmail
doesn't start at boot and /var/adm/messages doesn't give any hint as to why
it is not starting. If I try to start qmail from the command line using
'/var/qmail/rc &' then do a 'ps -ef | grep qmail' I don't see anything
however there is now a message in /var/adm/messages which says :
" cygnus qmail: 961545697.225492 alert: cannot start unable to switch to
queue directory"
The queue directory is owned by user qmailq and group qmail. The mode is
set to 750 on the queue directory. I am at a loss as to the nature of this
error. If anyone could give me some feedback on this I would greatly
appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

When I was making one linux box few days ago I had the same problem.
My fix was:
rm -Rf /var/qmail/queue; cd /usr/src/qmail-1.03;
make setup check
After this it works perfectly (and any of qmail-qsanity or queuefix
didn't work).
Please write me (private of course) how did it go.

Hi all,
I run a local free pop server
and would like to insert a footer on the mail.
I have followed Dave's LWQ to the letter in my setup
and qmail works fine for about a year.
I tried to use the patch for inserting a footer in qmail
written by David Harris.
I have compiled qmail with the patch and it works OK,
but the perl script is not quite understood by me and gives errors.

the command:

Is "@ARGV;" some shortened form
that I should have known before I started all this ?
Kindly give me a helping hand.

Hi Folks;
I am seeing a bunch of message delivery failed bounces that says:
Too many hops 27 (MAX 25) ...
since almost all the bounces were just a couple of hops more than the max I would like
to increase my max hop count to, say .. 30, how do I do this and what are the gotchas
if any?

That's almost always the case, especially when there's a loop
involved.

Modify the source.

Waste of effort and resources, little gain, if any.

He's right. If you do a traceroute to just about anything, you'll see
that 25 hops is ample. When it takes more than 25 hops, it's getting
lost.

The kind of hops counted by traceroute aren't the ones that show up
in received headers.
Hop counts usually don't go over 20 unless a message gets resent with
the original received headers included. This happens regularly on some mailing
lists.

What mailer is creating this bounce? I'll bet it is sendmail, and
there is nothing you can do about it; the site(s) involved have to
change their configuration.
qmail relies on Delivered-To for loop detection rather than the
simplistic counting of Received lines that sendmail uses. For "belt
and braces" security qmail-smtpd has a hop count limit of 100 as a
backup, but you're clearly not seeing this.

Because qmail doesn't know that those messages should be delivered
locally. Doublecheck /var/qmail/control/locals.

What you propose won't work because there's no username associated
with incoming TCP connections. You could achieve the same result
securely using the SMTP AUTH or TLS patches and compatible MUA's.

With patches, yes. Alternatively, seriamail support "AutoTURN", which

Is there a way to change defaultdelivery to always deliver the mail to
another machine?
I have a machine that I don't want users to have to ever read mail on.. I
want users on this machine to be able to use the "mail" command locally to
send mail, but I don't want them reading it on this machine, I want it to be
automatically send to our mailhub. (For example, the smtproutes "smarthost"
configuration wouldn't work, because that would deliver to local users first,
before sending out to another machine)
Is there a way to do this in /var/qmail/rc?

Try using nullmailer instead, by Bruce Guenter. It doesn't do local delivery
at all; it will only forward to a smarthost. It's design and interface are
inspired by qmail, and it does use a queue for reliability if the smarthost
goes down or whatnot.
It's at:

HI, all!
I'm trying to install qmail for the first time on a backup server we have
running Linux redhat v5.2. I have gone throught the LIFE WITH QMAIL manual,
which I find very useful, but when I try to start qmail I get the following
error on my screen, scrolling over and over:
supervise: fatal: unable to start qmail-smtpd/run: exec format error
Can someone give me a clue as to what is causing this error?
I am new to qmail, and my mastery of Linux is only nominal, so any help with
this matter would be greatly appreciated!
thanks!
John Romero
I have been unable to find out why I cannot get past the error:
* ERR this user has no $HOME/Maildir
Connection closed by foreign host.
I have tried everything I have found on the docs page and FAQ and still
cannot figure out where I have gone wrong.
Please help before I pull out what little hair I have left.
Thanx,
Eric
> I have been unable to find out why I cannot get past the error:

Does the user have a Maildir directory? Are the permissions correct
on it and on the home directory? What output is logged from
qmail-pop3d?
Regards,
Giles
Two possiblities that I know of:
1) Did you use the maildirmake program to make the users Maildir directory?
If not, do so.
2) When you telnet to your host on port 25, does it say:
+OK <some_long_string_of_numbers@your_domain_name_here
or does it say something more like:
+OK <some_long_string_of_numbers@checkpasswd>
or
+OK <some_long_string_numbers@/bin/checkpasswd>
If it's one of the latter, your $HOST isn't defined correctly when you're
starting qmail-pop3d. On mine, I believe it was because I didn't have
reverse DNS running on my DNS server. I used the qmail-run RPM at
qmail.org, so the line I had to change was:
HOST=$($QMAILHOME/bin/hostname)
where $QMAILHOME for me is defined as /var/qmail. Before I changed it to
the above, it was some long line with /bin/hostname in it, but with another
app as well. Near as I can tell, it was getting my hostname, DNSing it,
then attempting to reverse DNS it and get the ip address. I assume this is
to ensure that DNS is working right when it starts? I don't know...
Hope this helps some...

Should this be port 25 or something else? Like 110 for pop3 perhaps?

I have to build a good size mail server, and need to know the anwser to a
couple of questions.
1) Is there a way have qmail have two users at two different virtual domains
have the same username and have thier mail delivered to two different mail
accounts and fetchmail with the same username but of course using the
different virtual names.
For example: Mail sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED]
would end up on mail.lawinfo.com (Using MX records) in two different
mailboxes. So when they want their email, one would connect as joe on
mail.example.com and the other would connect as joe on mail.otherdomain.com.
I dont care what their maildir's is called on the mail server are, just as
long as it is stored on our server and they get their mail with joe user
name.
2) Has anyone here used the qmail-ldap patch? The feature list makes it
look good. However, it much be able to fullfil the #1 requirement.
I know these are simple questions, but I cant find any information to verify
the first of the two.

Make sure you have a line saying
pop-3 110/tcp
in you /etc/services
__Ramy M. Hassan__
>bash-2.03# tcpserver: fatal: unable to figure out port number for pop-3
Check your /etc/services file to see if there is such a service as
"pop-3" and whether a port is defined for it. The service for port 110
might be spelled differently then "pop-3" as you have here.
Hello,
I'm trying to set up POP over SSH with qmail on my new server.
Unfortunately, I don't even know if I've got the qmail pop program
working correctly. Here's the line from inetd.conf:
pop3 stream tcp nowait root /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup qmail-popup
area66-1.dsl.speakeasy.net /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bi
It's really all on one line. I've tried a couple formulas in my
.fetchmailrc file for achieving this. One was straight out of the
POP via SSH HOWTO, but the current version is adapted from Life with
Qmail. The relevant excerpts:
defaults
## interface "sl0/10.0.2.15" # SLIRP standard address
protocol POP3
is benfell here
password NwC1762
fetchall
forcecr
to *
## fetchlimit 10
## batchlimit 10
mda "/usr/bin/procmail -f - "
poll area66-1.dsl.speakeasy.net port 11110 user benfell
preconnect "ssh -x -C -f -L
11110:area66-1.dsl.speakeasy.net:110
[EMAIL PROTECTED] sleep 2 0 </dev/nul
l >/dev/null";
The last three lines shown here actually share the line which precedes
it, beginning with preconnect.
No matter which flavor of .fetchmailrc adaption I use, the result is
the same:
> ssh-agent getmail
Need passphrase for /home/benfell/.ssh/identity (benfell@area66-1).
Enter passphrase:

generates e-mail. (I know this is bad form, but the idea is to have
some test mail to retrieve...)
I've been trying to chase down some information on the "Bind: Address
already in use" messages and could find nothing relevant in a google
search.
In the mean time, I'm not succeeding in downloading the e-mail. So
far as I can see, it's all failing pretty quietly.
So, where do I begin?

There are no physicists in the hottest parts of hell, because the
existence of a "hottest part" implies a temperature difference, and
any marginally competent physicist would immediately use this to
run a heat engine and make some other part of hell comfortably cool.

This should actually read:

"make setup check" does that. pls read "INSTALL*"

if you start the tcp server with some tcp protection wrapper that isn't
configured to let local connections (i.e. from 127.0.0.1) pass, you won't
even be admitted from/to your own localhost.

I have just moved qmail over from an SGI box to a new Solaris box and
discovered that all of the alias I have setup to use condredirect do not
work.
I have tested that the alias is working fine, but the following line does
not work at all. I think its something to do with the condition argument,
but for the life of me I cannot see it. I have tried several combinations
thinking it might me picky about spaces and quotes, but I still cannot get
it to work.
| condredirect [EMAIL PROTECTED] [ "$HOST" = omp.co.nz ]
Any ideas?
Thanks

I'm not at all familiar with Solaris, but I'd rewrite that as

Isn't the 'checkpassword' file somewhere in the /bin directory ?

No. You need http://cr.yp.to/checkpwd.html (or other implementations).
It is not included in qmail-1.03.

Is there any way to get ANY kind of identifying information back from
qmail-inject that can be used to later match the message up with log entries?
Preferably the same kind of '952161799 qp 10208' kind of code that SMTP or
QMTP gives me. Both stdout and stderr seem to produce nothing at all on
success.
It is important to me to account for everything, so I can know exactly what
was delivered and what wasn't. And qmail-inject seems to be much the
fastest way I can get things into the queue, so it would be very nice if I
could also know whatever became of it.

hi all,
i installed qmail-smtpd with tcpserver.
When i try to send mail from another machine (using this as smtp server)
it says: "error this domain isn't in my rcpthosts list"....something like
this.
I set up my rcphosts variable but it doesn't work!!
Any idea???
Thanks
Federico.
Greetings Gurus,
Allow me to preface this message by saying I've searched the archive for the
solution to this problem and have come up short. For others with this
problem, it seems that the problem has lied with a misplaced pipe or
extraneous &, neither of which seem to be my problem. However, I doubt I'm
immune to such an oversight, so I will include as many specifics as
possible.
My problem: pop3d, run via tcpserver, fails to shut down when supervised
