Hello, I have one Qmail Server with a few of domains (I use vpopmail). This server has got one Internal IP Address (192.168.0.x), and another Linux Server (with one internal IP address and one external IP address) use the portfw sentence for redirect the email traffic. The Qmail Server also has an invented name and domain that now only works in "internal mode" (with an Internal IP address 192.168.0.x). I must change this configuration. I need to change the IP address for one real IP address, and the name and domain name for another real name and domain. I must change the IP with ifconfig and the name in the file (/etc/hostname). What is the file for change the domain? How other files should I change (Qmail files, vpopmail files, etc)? Thanks for all.
Hi, One of the possible ways that works fine for me is to set up user quota on the appropriate partition. For more on quota see the Quota mini-HOWTO.

Your qmail config is fine. The username isn't being added to the machine name; it's just reporting the whole email address in the error message.

There are READMEs to the packages, I put in ftp://ftp.innominate.org/pub/pape/Debian/unofficial/ . They explain how I did follow http://cr.yp.to/qmail/var-qmail.html , respecting http://cr.yp.to/qmail/dist.html . Once Dan J. Bernstein wrote: >The movement of binaries is unacceptable.

If there is interest in having qmail in the debian-distribution, perhaps I get Dan J. Bernstein's approval sometime.

Hi, Please help me out, I still counldn't find out what the problem is. I got the following error. I am following the installation manual from Life with qmail.

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 have checked that I have the file called "sigcontext.h" in my /usr/include/bits directory, what is the problem i am having.

Oh..Can > qmail run under redhat 6.2!! Could this be the problem.!! qmail will run just fine under Redhat 6.x. The problem isn't with the /usr/include/bits/sigcontext.h file, it's with a file (asm/sigcontext.h) included from that file. Usually this means that you haven't properly installed the kernel header files. If you really think you have, go into /usr/src/linux/include. There should be a link from asm-ARCH (probably asm-i386) to asm. If there isn't one there, put it there (ln -s asm-i386 asm). /pg -- Peter Green : Gospel Communications Network, SysAdmin : [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- The new Linux anthem will be "He's an idiot, but he's ok", as performed by Monthy Python.

Hello, I've set up a qmail server following the directions in LWQ. Everything works fine, except right after a reboot. qmail refuses connections with the message: 451 qq temporary problem (#4.3.0) The funny thing is, if I stop and restart qmail, everything works absolutely fine. I don't have to reboot very often, but if I ever had to, it'd be nice to know that it would come up correctly without a restart of qmail. I even tried stopping and starting it from /etc/rc.d/rc.local after it has come up from the normal startup script, and that still doesn't fix the problem. A little info about my system: -P75 w/24MB -Red Hat 6.1 -I've tried 2.2.12 stock Red Hat, 2.2.15 vanilla w/openwall patch, and and 2.2.16 vanilla w/openwall patch. It happens with all kernels. qmail info: -------------- -qmail-1.03 -applied large MX record patch -applied qmail-queue patch -installed qmail-qfilter -I am currently using 2 perl scripts for filters, the default "deny- filetypes" filter that comes with qmail-qfilter, and one I wrote myself for filtering by the From line. They both work great from the command line and return 0 for the return code. The even work fine after I restart qmail. One more thing, I just tried disabling the QMAILQUEUE by removing the entry in /etc/tcp.smtp (and reloading tcp.smtp.cdb). It works fine after I do that, even without restarting q-mail. If I put the QMAILQUEUE entry back in, it will stop working again. I realize this has to be something to do with either the QMAILQUEUE patch (doubtful), my perl script (more likely), or something I've done with the system when I was locking it down ( I started by applying the Bastille hardening script). What I find really strange is that it all works fine after restarting qmail. I've checked that startup logs for errors, and I can't find any. Has anyone ever experienced this? Any suggestions? This is just one of those things that I'd like to know why it's happening. I have a work around, so it's not holding anything up. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide, Steve P.S. Please let me know if I can provide more information for you. ===== ---Someone told me that if you play a windoze NT CD backwards, it will play satanic messages. ---That's NOTHING!!

Yes, I did run into that problem. I increased the limit and qmail started working fine, until I rebooted the machine (accidentally hit the power switch :-) It's odd that qmail will work after I restart it manually. The only difference between it starting during the bootup scripts, and when I start it manually, is that it's tied to a terminal when I start it manually. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it though. Thank you, Steve --- "Russell P.

Sure, just make your local domain a virtual domain. Remove it from control/locals (locals can be empty), add an entry to control/virtualdomains, set up the appropiate .qmail files, and restart qmail. -Dave
To block some extension of the attached files, I did use the script /usr/sbin/scanmails generated by amavis; I modified the code to obtain an effect similar to a virus detection but with a different message. The script drops all attached files and the reply is a plain text with no problems for users with the same rules. Is someone knowing a way this script should not work? tank you. P.S. if you want the modifed script just let me know. Noel Mistula wrote: > > Hi, > > Any triple bounce should go to the MAILER-DAEMON.

Hi all, I'm using Erwin Hoffmann spamcontrol patch and now I'm trying to bloc addresses without @ without bloquing void addresses (mail from: <>) which are used in bounce mails and can't be bloqued. I've tried to put * !*@* in the badmailpatterns but it blocs void addresses. Is there a way to bloc addresses without @ without bloc bounce addresses? I think it would be nice to add to the spamcontrol patch the Ricardo Cerqueira maxrcpt patch or Chris Johnson tarpit patch to reduce the risk of insiders doing spam (in big servers you can't trust all the users and unlimited rcpt is a risk). Regards -- Bernat Ginard Llad� mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.kaos.es
Hello one and all :) I have a coworker that attempted to install QMAIL on a production machine. Per Murphy's law The installation failed and took with it sendmail. Now, sendmail is storing all incoming messages in qmail, all are empty files, and for every one Of them a new child is forked. These children are then waiting indefinitely for something. When doing a "mailq" a lsit of files is displayed, every one of them having the annotation: NO CONTROL FILE. Can anyone shed some light here? What did QMAIL to provoke this behavior? TIA, Alex

also sprach markloky: > I have checked the link, it's there, asm->asm-i386. > What is the possibility of other problems. Well, SOME link isn't there. The following need to be set up: * /usr/src/linux needs to contain, at a minimum the kernel headers in /usr/src/linux/include * /usr/src/linux/include/asm needs to point to .../asm-i386 (got that) * /usr/include/asm needs to point to /usr/src/linux/include/asm The easiest way to check if this is the case: ls -ld /usr/src/linux/include/asm-i386 /usr/src/linux/include/asm /usr/src/linux/include /usr/include/asm Send the output of that command. /pg -- Peter Green : Gospel Communications Network, SysAdmin : [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- It's now the GNU Emacs of all terminal emulators.

Isn't qpopper for pop, not smtp? Why would the rcpthosts file affect it then? In any case, an RCPTHOSTS file error can mean either what it says (the site ISN'T in the file) or it could mean if your blocking based on IP addresses that whatever your tcprules.cdb file is isn't setup right. Make sure you have your domain in there, and that RELAYCLIENT is set and :allow is set. -----Original Message----- From: Z [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, June 22, 2000 6:21 PM To: Chris Johnson Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: rcpthosts On Fri, 16 Jun 2000, Chris Johnson wrote: > On Fri, Jun 16, 2000 at 03:33:20PM -0500, Z wrote: > > well, what i decided to do was switch to qpopper and use the > > --enable-home-dir-mail=Mailbox and it worked fine. > > > > now one thing that i don't understand is the rcpthosts file. > > it seems like it would be a file that would decide who gets to use > > qmail as the SMTP server, but when i try to send a message to somewhere > > like freak.net, it tells me that the address is not in the rcpthosts > > file. so is this to say where you can send to? do they have something > > for address that can use the SMTP server? are they one in the same? > > i put '.net' in the rcpthosts file and it sent fine. > > Don't do that.

Hi, I can't find the log file for qmail. (using life with qmail installation instructions) !!! Please tell me where it is . Thanks Regards, Mark

Thanks Isn't the current one /var/log/qmail/current or /var/log/qmail/smtpd/current, depending what you need? Sorry I cannot access the LWQ at the moment and I'm not sure wether I changed it slightly. But maybe the direction helps. The older ones are the ones with the @ in front of the filename. Ciao, Cyril
Is there any way of making the environment variables set by tcpserver available while the file is being delivered? Specifically, I would like TCPREMOTEIP available while filtering with maildrop.

Hello, Could someone who is running a supervised version of you qmail give me the correct permission on the supervise directory.

Hi, could you tell me if there is any need to have a valid reverse lookup for your mailserver. Either based on a RFC or common practice. Thanks, Cyril
If that server is going to be connecting to other mail servers and sending them mail, common practice requires a PTR record, and an A or CNAME record for that name that refers to the same IP address. Many mail servers will refuse to accept your mail otherwise. ----ScottG.

Hi- I have qmail set up on a server with multiple virtual domains. I am puzzled by, and want to remove, extraneous header entries that end up in incoming mail for accounts on the virtual domains. Specifically, there are various "Delivered-To:" entries that reveal the primary domain name. If I am virtually hosting foo.com on my server which is primarily bar.com, I do do not want foo.com's incoming email to reveal this in its header. Is there a simple way to configure this in qmail, or am I forced to write scripts to process incoming messages? Thanks!
hello list i have installed qmail with qmail-ldap-20000601- patch on redhat linux , now i want to make it run under tcpserver rather then from inetd.conf , what exactly i need to do ? is it really good (tcpserver ) under heavy loads condition ? please guide me prashant desai
I've got two qmail servers running inside a load balancer. They both access the same /var/mail/username/Maildir directories on an NFS server. They also share many of the same configuration files in /var/qmail/control on the NFS server. The files they share are local symbolic links to the shared volume on the NFS server. A few hours after bringing up the second qmail server, the first one, which had been running fine for two weeks, quit working. The errors I am getting in the syslog file on the failing server are "Can't_connect_to_SMTP_server" and "Can't_chdir_to_Maidir". Anyone have any success with this configuration or have any idea what could be causing the first server to loose its way? Running qmail and NFS on Solaris 2.7 (first server and NFS server) and 2.8 (second qmail server). The first server (the one failing) responds to connections on port 25 but can't send or deliver and is not spawning any qmail processes. The second server is now doing all the work. Thanks, Mike
you might consider using rsync to sync your conffiles, instead of sharing them over nfs. this would eliminate alot of problems and latency i'd think.

Dear Qmail admins, I had send this few days back but I did not receive any reply. Am I clear in conveying the message? Thankyou, Jacob. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 22 Jun 2000 15:34:45 +0530 (IST) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Mail queueing in relay host. 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, Bangalore, India.
Hi,I finally installed qmail, thank you for anybody's help in this mailing list. The purpose to setup my qmail sever is to use with my web site/web server. I need to vertify that the e-mail address is correct. So that I require people to give me their e-mail adress, then I will send out the password to them (using qmail). Then, later they can come back and log-on.
Now, my problem is related to relaying . I have read "The qmail newbie's quide to relaying" which comes with life with qmail as a URL. It states that "qmail's rcpthosts file, which gets its name from the RCPT TO command, determines whether the recipient will be accepted; it will be accepted if and only if the domain of the address given in the RCPT TO command is listed in rcpthosts."Now, the RCPT TO means send out the messages to a particular address. Is this correct?? If yes, then when people come and ask for password by giving their e-mail address. I need to send them a password via the form of e-mail. In other words, I need to send them a password according to what they put in. So, in this situations, I need to put their domain in my rcphosts file before sending them a password. Is this correct ?? if yes, how to overcome this problem?? Any suggestion is helpful.!!!
Thank you
Mark
