Dear Qmail admins,
We have two computers with one acting as a relay
host(abc.valid.net connected to the internet) and the other, on the local
network(xyz.local.net), for storing mails. abc.valid.net is just for
forwarding mails to and from the local mail machine(xyz.local.net). The
problem I face is that if the internet link is down then the mails sent
bounces back immediately and does not queue up in the abc.valid.net.
I have setup the control/smtproutes file which has the following
entry:
:[ip address of the ISP MX]
Should I setup something else?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Jacob Rajan,
Systems Manager,
Raman Research Institute,

What are the permissions on the Maildir/ catalog in the vhernz's home
catalog?
Did you make that Maildir with maildirmake?

Yes,
You'll also get this error from qmail is you are using a +domain
in users/assign and the $HOME defined in users/assign does not
have a .qmail-default

Sounds like you really don't know what you are doing.
Qmail can be setup *many* different ways so there is no definative answer
to your problem - you must describe in detail how you got to this
point. Then pick a problem email address and describe how that is setup,
what entries are in the control files, where you want mail delivered to,
etc - only then will anyone be in a position to help you.
Paul.

It means exactly what it says ;-)
The user you are trying to fetch mail as doesn't have a Maildir in his/her
home directory, did you use maildirmake for those users ?
The following directories should be present:
/home/[username]/Maildir/cur
/home/[username]/Maildir/tmp
/home/[username]/Maildir/new

It's also possible your $HOST is not defined. A lot of people have been
asking this question...is this something to do with reverse DNS or what?
Anyway, here's the response I gave someone else ~1 week ago:
When you telnet to your host on port 110, 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...

Where are those test e-mails you want to see? They SHOULD be in
/home/$USER/Maildir/new/

How do you *know* those mails are in $HOME/Maildir/ ?
they could, just as well, be in $HOME/Mailbox or /var/spool/mail/[username]
How did you check there are actually messages in $HOME/Maildir ?

Hmmm, dunno that one by heart, i started using Maildir from the time i started
using qmail ;)
You could use a mua that supports mbox AND Maildir to move the messages from one
to the other ....
Mutt could do the trick ;)

Use the mbox2maildir program. You'll find it on www.qmail.org.

Hi all,
I am on the way ...... but there are some problems , shure.
my linux server is running qmail 1.03(all daemons work). SMPT / relaying is
ok.
I have two client hosts (Win98) with Outlook as MUA.
Now I want them to connect to my linux server via pop3, so I was asked for a
user and passwd. I set up a normal linux account for both : comp1/password and
comp2/password. I used this user and his password for logginf, but it doesn't
work.
I tested checkpassword with /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup host /bin/checkpassword pwd
and got everything all right.
Do I have to tell qmail about the users for pop3 in a different file ?
Help needed, thanx, Mirco

Good morning, all!
Regarding my previous message, I have still been unable to resolve my
problem, despite reviewing the more popular references such as LWQ and the
qmail faq. I understand that the solution may be as plain as day to many of
you, however, as I mentioned in my subject as well as below, I'm new to
qmail and not that experienced with Linux. So if some kind soul could take
a minute to shed a little light, I'd be most grateful.
Thanks in advance!

The file (/service)/qmail-smtpd/run needs to be a valid executable
file or shell script. The above message suggests that it is not.
1) Make sure that the file is executable (ls -l)
2) Make sure that the script, if it is a script (it should be),
references a valid processor (if the first line says "#!/bin/sh", then make
sure that /bin/sh exists and works).
3) Make sure that the file is not in DOS text format. 'file
/service/qmail-smtpd/run' might tell you; if you run the 'vim' editor on it
it should tell you at startup time if it is a DOS file, or if you open it in
Emacs it should show up. This is actually a very likely cause for you.
Try looking into these things and let us know how it goes.
Hi all,
I am running qmail 1.03 and decided to use ./Maildir/ delivery.
When an internal mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] is sent, the folling lines come
in the log:
@400000003951f0ee087f3d54 starting delivery 33: msg 766948 to local
[EMAIL PROTECTED] @400000003951f0ee0880048c status: local 1/10 remote 0/20
@400000003951f0ee08ebb6dc delivery 33: deferral: Unable_to_chdir_to_maildir._(#4.2.1)/
@400000003951f0ee08ec85e4 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20
There is the path /home/mirco/Maildir/new (or cur / tmp) , which should be used
for mail delivery.
The last seven days I was reading so much about sendmail, qmail and all the
daemons, that I now completly lost orientation. Somebody wash my brain please !!
Where do I have to set the enviroment variable MAILDIR ??
And how can it be , that the path is not found although it's there ?
I post everything you need, but please help me out .......
Mirco, Hannover
Since you stated you chose to use Maildir/ delivery I would guess that you
edited defaultdelivery in your qmail rc file, or that you understand what
that means.
what it looks like is you need to run maildirmake (found in /var/qmail/bin)
as the user mirco.
Or if you already have a Maildir for mirco, you need to check the ownership
and permissions.
Good luck.

in the log:
@400000003951f0ee087f3d54 starting delivery 33: msg 766948 to local
[EMAIL PROTECTED] @400000003951f0ee0880048c status: local 1/10 remote
0/20
@400000003951f0ee08ebb6dc delivery 33: deferral:
Unable_to_chdir_to_maildir._(#4.2.1)/
@400000003951f0ee08ec85e4 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20
There is the path /home/mirco/Maildir/new (or cur / tmp) , which should be
used
for mail delivery.
The last seven days I was reading so much about sendmail, qmail and all the
daemons, that I now completly lost orientation. Somebody wash my brain
please !!
Where do I have to set the enviroment variable MAILDIR ??
And how can it be , that the path is not found although it's there ?
I post everything you need, but please help me out .......

Try sticking an "exec" in there, like you have in your log script.

Hi again,
Under qmail 1.03 I have the problem that the server goes online - even when I
send a mail to someone in my internal net.
My mail server is server.home.net and there are two users : mirco and cloudy
sending a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] causes wvdial to dial. So it must be,
that qmail sends the impuls, although my /var/qmail/control/locals is
server.home.net
mirco.home.net
cloudy.home.net
the log reports :
@400000003951ed69334870dc new msg 766948
@400000003951ed693348f1c4 info msg 766948: bytes 1697 from <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> qp 884
uid 101
@400000003951ed6933afdd6c starting delivery 28: msg 766948 to local
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
@400000003951ed6933b08d34 status: local 1/10 remote 0/20
@400000003951ed6934101e0c delivery 28: deferral: Unable_to_chdir_to_maildir._(#4.2.1)/
It tells me, that this adress is local, but still a connection is made.
(by the way : the last line reports of an other problem I have, please read
"using ./Maildir/ problems")
I want the computer to deliver internal mails without going online, as you
guess.
In which way am I wrong ????
thanx, Mirco Jeske

Probably, qmail is looking up the local mail servers' IP or doing some
RBL stuff. Or maybe looking up the senders' domain so that it exists (for
bounces)?

Our company is in the process of changing ISPs and our mail server ip
address is changing. I want email to be available while the DNS changes
get propagated. Can I setup a "dummy" qmail server at the old ip address
and have it automatically forward ALL mail to the new mail server? Is
there an easier/better way?

how about setting the DNS first, and then you move your old server ?
First
you set your DNS with as low as you can for the expiry for a few weeks, so
when you change your DNS Record, sites accross of internet can fastly
change their records too.
Then you turn off your server, then move it as quick as possible to new
location, turn it on, and update the DNS record.

This is correct, but it is also beneficial to set 2 mx records, one is the
current ip and one the new ip. If this is done at least 24 hours before the
move, then mail servers on the net will look to both ip's to send mail. If
one is not available, they will try the other. Once the move is done, change
the mx back to the new ip only.

Hi... I have to change the computer qmail is running on...
The problem is existing mail, because i cant seem to get all my users to
download their mail... (there are about 350)...
So my idea was to plug the old computer out (off course, so a shutdown
before, to gracefully end processes...) and plug the new computer in...
Afterwards I would like to "inject" existing messages into the new server...
Is this possible, or is there a better way to do this?
Thanks in advance, Goran

What you did will forward mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to hotmail (assuming
that the .qmail-lev file is in lev's home dir). To forward mail to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] to hotmail, the file name should be just .qmail.

I believe the answer is both. It is neither in /var/qmail/bin, but in
/bin (at least on my system), nor is it included in qmail-1.03. On
the other hand, I can't say I have it working yet either...

Hi,
I compiled qmail and got it up and running (kind of).
My problem right now is: i cannot send mail as a 'non-root' user: it
complaints about 'unable to execute qq (#4.3.0)
As root I can send messages local as well as to remote sites?
I suppose it is a permissions problem but where?
I do have another problem too:
In the log file I see these lines:
trouble injecting bounce message
Same problem? Permissions?
Unfortunately the search engine on the qmail mailing list does not seem
to work?
Thanks for your reply.

Anyone sitting on the old public qmail distributions?
I'm interested in 1.02 and the ones before that.
/magnus
Hello again, and thanks for all your help so far.
Hopefully I've got this a little better nailed down.
My .fetchmailrc looks like this (I'll try to remember to blank out the
passwords this time):
defaults
protocol POP3
is benfell here
fetchall
forcecr
mda "/usr/bin/procmail -f - "
poll mail.yyyyyyyy user dbenfell password xxxxxxx
poll antares.xxxxxxxxxxxxx port 11110 user benfell pass xxxxxxxxxxxx
preconnect "ssh -C -f [EMAIL PROTECTED] -L
11110:antares.xxxxxxxxxxxxx:110 sleep 5"
poll area66-1.dsl.speakeasy.net port 11110 user benfell pass
xxxxxxxxxxxx
preconnect "ssh -C -f [EMAIL PROTECTED] -L
11110:area66-1.dsl.speakeasy.net:110 sleep 2"
poll pop3.zzzzzzzzzzzzz user dbenfell password xxxxxxx # keep no
fetchall
This formula worked very, very briefly, once, in fact, on antares, a
machine where I have an account but not administrative access and
which runs sendmail. Mostly it isn't working there either. The other
flavors people have sent me haven't made any difference, so I'm
assuming my problem isn't in .fetchmailrc. area66-1 is running qmail.
As you can see, I'm trying this on two machines, antares and area66-1.
area66-1 is my server.
Since I omitted the --syslog and --invisible options, I get a little
more information on the terminal where I'm running this:
1 message for dbenfell at mail.yyyyyyyy (2133 octets).
reading message 1 of 1 (2133 octets) .. flushed

Am I interpreting this right when I think I'm succeeding in my ssh
access, but not in getting at port 110?
I've installed tcpserver, partly because of its stated benefits,
partly because the expertise on this list seems to be oriented in that
direction. Am I correct in understanding that tcpserver bypasses
hosts.allow and hosts.deny? I added the startup to my inetd startup
script. In part, it looks like:
case "$1" in
start)
echo "Starting tcpserver (smtp)"
tcpserver -u 502 -g 101 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd &
echo "Starting tcpserver (monitoring for smtp)"
tcpserver -v -u 502 -g 101 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd \
2>&1 | /var/qmail/bin/splogger smtpd 3 &
echo "Starting tcpserver (qmtp)"
tcpserver -u 502 -g 101 0 qmtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-qmtpd &
echo "Starting tcpserver (pop3)"
tcpserver 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup area66-1.dsl.speakeasy.net \
/bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir &
echo -n "Starting INET services (inetd)"
startproc /usr/sbin/inetd || return=$rc_failed
echo -e "$return"
;;
stop)
echo "Stopping all tcpserver processes"
killall tcpserver
echo -n "Shutting down INET services (inetd)"
killproc -TERM /usr/sbin/inetd || return=$rc_failed
echo -e "$return"
;;
I notice the second tcpserver task, the one that's supposed to monitor
smtp, isn't running. From /var/log/messages at startup:
Jun 21 23:30:16 area66-1 smtpd: 961655416.698982 tcpserver: fatal:
unable to bind: address already used
I keep running up against this "address already in use" nonsense and I
can't find a proper explanation of it anywhere. But the smtp side of
things seems to be working well -- it's just pop that isn't.

Ok, so you're telling fetchmail here that for retrieving email,
it should connect to the server antares.xxxxxxxxxxxxx at port 110
(and some other stuff).
Then the preconnect command starts up a ssh connection, which
includes a port forwarding of 11110 on the localhost to the port 110
on the remote system.
End result: fetchmail tries to connect to port 11110 on the remote
server, not on localhost, where the forward has been set up.
Adding a "via localhost" there should fix your problems.

Presumably you get "Address already in use" because these two poll
attempts were so close to each other, than the previous ssh session
hadn't yet exited when you already started the second one. You can
only have on ssh forwarding a specific port on the system at a time.
Hope this helps,

Use QUEUE_EXTRA to copy the messages to an alias that saves them in a
Maildir, and run "find" nightly to remove the 31-day-old messages.

Use ~alias/.qmail-default to forward the "no local account" messages
to the NT box, e.g.:
|forward "$LOCAL"@ntbox
>it would be useful if a copy of each forwarded e-mail could be saved
>on the qmail server for 30 days or so
Add a Maildir delivery line to ~alias/.qmail-default:
./LogMaildir/
And run a cron job nightly to purge 31-day-old mail from
~alias/LogMaildir.

Basically it is a stupid simple perl cgi app, but I am just learning the mail
protocols (argh!!)
The pop3 part rocks, no problems there.
But when I try to send mail to my yahoo mail instead of my own box, I get the
error that yahoo.com is not on the list of recipients.
To me that makes sense, but is there a feature where qmail will redirect mail
to any other mail server out there ??
I have partially hardwired the above to use qmail-inject, with parital success
(the attachments feature is broken yet)
I have a pretty good background building cgi's for intranets. I will set up
CVS if anybody wants to work on this product or evolve an even better one.
I have a club to support that kind of action, and infact, I really want to
become a tcpserver/tcpclient expert sometime soon.
TIA !!
Lots of ^L (lol?? :)

Hello,
I have just installed a tcpserver supervised qmail. The problem I am
having concerns multilog. The message a recieve on console at boot time is :
multilog: fatal: unable to switch to current directory: access denied
I know that this probably involves a permissions problem but here is where
I am stumped.
Here is are the permissions of /var/log/qmail/smtpd :
root@cygnus:/var/qmail/supervise/qmail-send/log > ls -l /var/log/qmail/smtpd
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 qmaill qmail 512 Jun 21 15:49 ./
drwxr-xr-x 3 qmaill qmail 512 Jun 21 15:49 ../
Here is the contents of /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-send/log/run
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/setuidgid qmaill /usr/local/bin/multilog t /var/log/qmail
Here is the contents of /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/log/run
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/setuidgid qmaill /usr/local/bin/multilog t
/var/log/qmail/smtpd
My /var/qmail/rc looks like this:
#!/bin/sh
# Using stdout for logging
# Using control/defaultdelivery from qmail-local to deliver messages by
default
exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \
qmail-start "`cat /var/qmail/control/defaultdelivery`"
My /etc/init.d/qmail script is taken off of the Life With Qmail page/
I am running qmail 1.03 on a solaris 2.6 system with daemontools-0.70. I
have checked the mailing list archives and didn't find any more insight. I
someone could help me out with this I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

Access to a directory requires access to all of its parent
directories. Try:
ls -ld /var/log/qmail /var/log /var /

Ok, i'm having the same problem, the output of the previous command (on my
OpenBSD system is:
drwxr-xr-x 16 root wheel 512 May 6 13:24 /
drwxr-xr-x 28 root wheel 512 May 18 08:30 /var/
drwxr-xr-x 8 root wheel 2560 Jun 22 22:50 /var/log/
drwxr-xr-x 3 qmaill qmail 2560 Jun 22 22:50 /var/log/qmail
So, how to fix without breaking anything else ;)
TIA,

Hi,
I was supposed to give a QMAIL presentation at a congress of the German
Unix User Group (GUUG) (http://www.guug.de). However, the whole congress
was canceled thus the presentation is more or less "virtual".
In case of interest (in particular the German QMAIL users) the presentation
can be downloaded from my QMAIL page
http://www.fehcom.de/qmail_en.html
as PDF document.
Cheers

If you know why you patched qmail with qmail-ldap you probably also know
that this patch adds ldap lookup abilities to both delivery and client
protocols. auth_pop is a snap in replacement for checkpassword that is
required when installing the pop3-service with qmail-popup.
Look further in the QLDAPINSTALL file that you got with the patch and in
"Life with qmail" to see how to setup pop3.

I'm not going to flame - just point out that qmail breaches RFC 821 in
several areas. It's also fairly unfriendly about bandwidth usage _and_
accepts some relay attempts, then dumps them in the postmaster box,
which can result in local or proxy mailbombings.
Postfix and Exim are two other alternatives to sendmail, both better
behaved.
Qmail _is_ useful if you run a list processor because of its high
throughput abilities, but IMO it's not suitable as a general purpose
mailserver. It was designed for list servers with good bounce management
and it shows.

The author of that text doesn't actually specify what portions of RFC821
he belives that qmail violates, so it's difficult to tell what he's
referring to. However, these types of things comes up regularly on this
list. The general consensus (if I may be so bold) is that Dan's
interpretation or the fuzzy sections of RFC821 does not always comply
with others' interpretation of the same fuzzy sections, but it appears that
most people on this list believe Dan's approach is the most (pick one)
reliable, robust, secure, efficient.
As the author doesn't even spell "qmail" correctly, I think it would be
safe to assume his opinion isn't particularly well researched.

Excerpts:
Harris Corp.'s Web site disappeared from the Internet Monday and Tuesday,
after an apparent hacker attack rerouted visitors to an unrelated site that
was still under construction.
Baker said the problem started when an unknown person e-mailed Network
Solutions Inc., which maintains a directory for Internet addresses,
instructing the Herndon, Va.-based company to reroute all traffic from the
www.harris.com <http://www.harris.com> domain to a site maintained by
myinternet.com, another Internet domain registration company.

Apparently in this day and age, sending e-mail is considered hacking! I
must be an old-sk00l hax0r th3n, since I started sending e-mail sometime
around 1991 through my 3133t WW1V BBS.
I advise that all list members block port 25 until these malicious hackers
can be brought to justice. Turn off sendmail, qmail, postfix, or whatever
you run, don't allow services that hax0rs can exploit.
Oh, look! I just hacked the qmail list, by sending e-mail to it!

I don't know how it works with LDAP, but I just have a Maildir and a .qmail
file in my /etc/skel directory, which is the skeleton for useradds. Then,
whenever I add a user, they come with everything already setup...

I have a feeling this error message might have something to do with the
permission recursively from the /var/qmail/supervise directory downards. I
have these set to 2700. Can someone verify these for me. Since this is a
non production machine. I took the liberty to change the perms on /var
/var/log and /var/log/qmail to 777 and I still recieved the same error
message. So I am really confounded now. Can someone please help.

This will probably be a FAQ, but I can't find it in the FAQ.. :-)
Lets say I only have 1 domain on my machine.
Is it possible to tranfer all incoming mail to a user account and then setup
.qmail files
there to distribute certain aliases to different boxes..?
In other words just like you can configure virtual domains to send
*@domain2.com to
a user john and then use aliases to do further distribution, so also do this
with the 'primary/first'
domain on the machine ...
Now first the mailer looks if there are any accounts that match the name
(mailto:help@heaven...)
is send to user account 'help' if it exists..
To illustrate here is PIC.local2alias file:
qmail-inject Fill in the complete envelope and header:
| (envelope) from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
| From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
| To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
|
| Hi.
V
qmail-queue Store message safely on disk.
Trigger qmail-send.
|
V
!!!!! This step I want to remove so that the mailer doesn't look if the user
exists and just
send it to the '.qmail-default box...
qmail-send Look at envelope recipient, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
| Is heaven.af.mil in locals? Yes.
| Deliver locally to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
V
qmail-lspawn ./Mailbox
| Look at mailbox name, help.
| Is help listed in qmail-users? No.
| Is there a help account? No.
| Give control of the message to alias.
| Run qmail-local.
V
qmail-local alias ~alias help - help heaven.af.mil [EMAIL PROTECTED]
./Mailbox
Does ~alias/.qmail-help exist? Yes: "john".
Forward message to john.
Thanks..
I am new to Qmail, so the questions may be stupid..
I tried to empy the locals file and put the primary domain in the
virtualdomain table..
But this doesn't seem to work..
Bye Bye

Greetings
I've followed the INSTALL instructions, my MX records are straight, and I
don't know where to go from here.
Given the domain 'domain.org' and the machine 'mail.domain.org':
I have both the hostname and domain name in 'rcpthosts' and 'locals', but
mail sent to domain.org is bounced with "Although I am the best MX, that
domain isn't in control/locals" ... which I'm very certain is not true.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Those who claim the dead never return to life haven't ever been around

I have just looked at my qmail-debug logs which is showing the message:
warning: trouble injecting bounce message, will try later.
this is coming up a lot... like several of them in the span of a second...
they started yesterday some time which coincides with some problems I was
having with my swap partition. ie; the drive was corrupted and caused me no
end of problems with my web server, so processes with screwed up names,
qmail, etc... I restarted everything that seemed to crap out and it all
seems to be going OK, but the system is quite low on resources... it floats
between 3 and 20Mb of RAM free out of 384Mb...
I had to kill the swap partition till we can get a new HD to replace the
swap drive, so basically, it may have stemmed from a memory corruption...
it's quite odd, any advice or opinions welcome.

Hi,
How to use mail () with q-mail. ?? I mean what do i have to
change for php mail function to work with q-mail ??
Thank you for your help
Mark
I have had a look at the solutions on the qmail site for scanning email for
viruses but they do not quite fit what im after. I have also looked at a
script posted to this list that looks for attachment types. This is very
close to what I want but am trying to write a script to use McAfee instead
of just checking the attachments.
If I run my script inside the .qmail file how can I pass the incoming email
to the virus scanner? Is there any way to do this. The check attachment
script obviously does this, but im just a bit too much of a novice to know
how.
i.e (I think im on the right track with this but could be completely wrong,
I know the virus scanner exits with a 13 when it fails)
If '/usr/local/uvscan/uvscan ?????' = 13 ;
Then
echo 'bla bla bla'
exit 100
fi;
Thanks

why is that in my qmail/maillog when i send email the logs is like this
"delivery 20: success:
216.42.80.32_accepted_message./Remote_host_said:_250_ok_961742865_qp_39020/"
why there is an ip address 216.42.80.32 there may be thats the problem why
my mails are gone in my qmail machine but when i send to to other like
hotmail account i succesfully got the mail.
Vince, i would love to help you out but i'm not sure i understand your
problem. This message and the following message are very confusing...
from what i gathered, when you remove your 'gateway' on the machine, your
mails stop flowing? Is this correct?
As for only seeing ip addresses in the logs, that's fine.

plese help me...
Hi all
I'v been using qmail for about a year with no problems.
But yestarday I've noticed that my server cann't receive mail from some
hosts.
I see active (ESTABLISHED) connections from that hosts in netstat
they are handled by qmail-smtpd (seen in fuser ...)
they remain active for several minutes (tens of minutes) the droped.
No mail is send through them.
I've check connection speed to some of these hosts with ping -s 10000
and find that it's rather fast (replay ~2 secs on 10k byte packet)
Pls give me advise on how can I check what's wrong with this.
And may be someone can check how my mail server (mail.ct.spb.ru)
handle incoming smtp.
TIA Alex
I have in qmail's queue three or four messages that are not being
delivered. They are to local email addresses and I see no special
attributes there.
The local email addresses receive other mail, just these messages are
not delivered.
Also it seems that I don't get any log anymore since I upgraded the
system. splogger is running, how can I tell what is the trouble with it?
Hi,
This is the second time I tried to install qmail. However, I did
a successfull installation for the first time, but now, I got some
error. I am trying to follow the installation manual from Life with
qmail.
After I create my user and group for qmail, then I type in "make setup
check" on the command line. I got the following error messages.
./ compile sig_alarm.c
In file included from /usr/include/signal.h:300, from sig_alarm.c:1:
/usr/include/bits/sigcontext.h:28: asm/sigcontext.h:
No such file or directory
make:***[sig_alarm.0] ERROR 1
I know I have been missing something. Can anyone point me out what did
I miss, and where can I find that missing file. I am using Redhat Linux
6.2. Which rpm package contains the above file ???
Thank you for your help,
Mark
Hi,
I'd like to know whether there are significant differences between
QMQP and QMTP. I know that qmail-qmqpc is used in place of qmail-queue
so mail isn't safely stored on the QMQP client, whereas a QMTP client
could be used in place of qmail-remote ( I'm thinking about writing a
patch to qmail-rspawn to allow that ) and mail is securely stored on
the client before the QMTP session.
My question is : from a network point of view, why are there 2
protocols ? As far as I can see, qmail-qmqpc could speak QMTP to the
remote server instead of QMQP, and that would make no difference at all.
So why don't null clients / mini-qmail setups just speak QMTP ?
Thanks in advance,

Forget the question about local mail. It was due to a missing Perl module.

But why is splogger not logging. It is running, and /etc/syslog has these
lines
mail.* -/var/log/mail
*.*;mail.none;news.none -/var/log/messages

In the log files there is the following:
Jun 19 12:55:50 <mail server name> qmail: [ID 748625 mail.info]
961426550.129395 info msg 230766: bytes 18784 from <email address> qp
27593 uid 15017
OK - what does all the number mean and what do they represent??
eg: 961426550.129395 ??
230766 ?? and
qp 27593 uid 15017??
ALSO - logging from tcpserver?? - how can I get more info than just:
961417370.963030 tcpserver: pid 262 from 196.22.200.210
961417370.965721 tcpserver: ok 262 :192.168.2.69:25
:196.22.200.210::1163
961417371.119200 tcpserver: status: 17/40
??
Thanks
