Hi ALL,
What does this mean and what can cause it:
qmail: [ID 748625 mail.info] 962030262.173467 delivery 1483: deferral:
Sorry,_I_wasn't_able_to_establish_an_SMTP_connection._(#4.4.1)/
Is this a tcpserver problem - as I can telnet to localhost port 25 and
get an immediate reply??
Please advise?

It is talking about delivery to some remote host. Look up delivery 1483 a
couple of lines earlier in your logfile.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] - Peter van Dijk [student:developer:ircoper]
Hi all,
I'm new to qmail but I did try to look through the
faq's and search the archives for this. I'm going to be using
qmail on a web server that I'll be doing virtual hosting from.
What I'm wondering is if there's a way to allow the individuals
who have accounts on the server to control email addresses
for their virtual domains using an aliases file? The reason
I'm wondering is because I don't think there's a way to get
virtual domain emails to go into a Maildir without it?
For example, I can set virtualdomains so all email for the domain
"Joe" purchased goes to his account for him to manage:
domain.com:joe
And then he can make as many .qmail-username files as he
wants to, to define people getting email forwarding service
from his domain. But for real mail service, aka pop and imap,
I don't think there's a way to define that the mail go to a local
user's maildir by that point, is there? It would need to be
taken care of at a higher level, like my catching it from the
assign file and prefixing it differently?
With aliases though, if this user could have an aliases file in
his home directory, he could just define:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]: local-user2
@domain.com: joe
As long as I set up a way for the users to create pop accounts,
then there would not be any intervention necessary on my
part. 'newaliases' seems to only work against an /etc/alisases.
I was hoping I could have everyone build their own aliases
file and then just put an unwritable .qmail-default in their
home directory that points fastforward to the aliases file in
their home directory, but newaliases doesn't want to build that
file.
Thanks for any help on this,
David

Hello qmailers!
I've set up qmail, daemontools and ucspi; qmail
runs as user qmail ->su. When I just try to access it from a WinNT Outlook
Express client it's doing the connection and qmail gives a tcpserver-message,
but that's all. So I installed checkpassword for authorization, but I can't get
along with it. I'm using Maildir-option, the Maildir is created in users
home-directory. The userID and the password are the same on Linux-RH6.2 and the
Outlook Express client.
In .qmail-root I set the username of the account to
check, I wonder, what's wrong. Can you give me a hint to the correct document to
solve my problem?
Thanks

the directory has the sticky bit set in order to start multilogging

itself is started and works.
does this say you anything?

You certainly can't let it run arbitrary commands. But for a limited
command set it is fine. What else, for example, is procmail?
We do this all the time. Someone correct me, but I figure the
security issues associated with it are the same as allowing login
shells. In a typical example on our system, an email address like
foo-order@ might take mail with *ML markup and parse it into an
order. That's just one example.
Anything nasty that a login user could do can be done by programs
run from their .qmail file. OTOH, I'm pretty confident in qmail's
security model that it cannot do **more**.

What error message do the logs say on the bounces, and in the log
files?
One possible explanation is that the ISP mail server isn't willing
to relay mail for you, and is bouncing the messages as relay attempts.
Unless there's a particular reason you want to relay through the
ISP, you might want to have abc.valid.net just send the mail out directly to
the intended recipients.

I want to create a mailing list using
ezmlm.
This is from ezmlm-make man
page:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-3 fromarg
ezmlm-make sets up the list to replace the ``From:''
header of the message with ``From: fromarg''.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When i enter "-3 My
Description Here" ezmlm-make gets it
as
"dir" and "dot" and gives
error:
ezmlm-make: fatal: dir and dot must
start with
slash
So HOW can i enter a fromarg (with -3
parameter) which includes spaces ?
Thank you...

Try -3 'My Description here'...

This only affects SMTP relaying. When you inject mail into the
queue via a local process, that does not involve SMTP relaying. So if your
web programs call /usr/lib/sendmail (the qmail version) or
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject, then there are no relaying controls; that is a
local user sending mail, and that local user is allowed to send out to
anyone.

No, this is not correct. For local users/programs sending mail, the
rcpthosts file doesn't come into play.
If your local user agent is injecting the mail using SMTP, or if you
have a series of web servers using a single mail hub for sending mail, then
you need to add them to the list of hosts allowed to relay. This is covered
in section 3.2.3 of Life With Qmail.

"f y cn rd ths y mst hv bn sng nx"
Hi all,
i am setting up a qmail server and am going to serve both smtp and pop3.
this has probably been asked many times, but i could not find it in a faq.
(please, give me guidance)
i absolutely need to allow my pop3 users relaying, for which i want to use
relay-ctrl (is there a better solution out there). but that would mean the
smtp-port would be blocked for any connections, except those made available
by relay-ctrl, so no mailserver could deliver email for my users.
I figured, a way to get around this would be to have to qmail-smtpd�s
running: one allowing selective relay by using rcpthosts (incoming smtp),
and another being made available by relay-ctrl (outgoing smtp).
Am i correct?
If yes, is it possible practically. I only have one machine, but I do have
several IP�s. If it is possible, how?
thanks

How do you start qmail-smtpd? If you use inetd this is a little bit difficult.
One way to do that is: assign 2 ip-adresses to you mailserver. Use one
address to receive mail from outside with qmail, the other one for relaying.
You can even use qmail for both tasks.
We for example use xinetd to start qmail-smtp:
10.20.30.10 is for relaying your clients
10.20.31.11 is for receiving
Be 10.20.30.0/19 your network (where your clients are):
-----------------
service smtp
{
id = mailout-smtpd
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
interface = 10.20.30.10
wait = no
user = qmaild
server = /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env
server_args = /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
only_from = 10.20.30.0/19
env = RELAYCLIENT=
}
service smtp
{
id = mailin-smtpd
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
interface = 10.20.30.11
wait = no
user = qmaild
server = /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env
server_args = /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
no_access = 10.20.30.0/19
}
------------------
Use rcpthosts to restrict qmail-smtpd to only receive for your domains
Setting the environment variable RELAYCLIENT when your clients access
qmail via 10.20.30.10 switch rcpthosts for them off. With only_from you
control that only hosts in your network can access qmail with RELAYCLIENT
set.
Of course, you can start relay-ctrl instead of qmail-send.
And xinetd is not the only superdaemon you could use (I think there is one
from Bernstein, too) but it is part of a lot of distributions.
Greetings
Wolfgang

You are right - but in your case you need to know the ip�s from your
clients. My clients could come from all over the world and I have no other
way than checking their poppassword to know that they are legitimite.
the superdaemon you are referring to is tcpserver and is part of the
deamontools-0.53 and it can in fact do the same as you setting does -
unfortuneatly this is not what I want. Thank you anyways. I think you got me
on the right path - thanks

In this case do not start qmail-smtpd directly. Instead call a programm which
checks if the relaying host could authenticate and then starts qmail-smtpd (or
does the work itself). Remove the access_only lines and the no_access lines.

So what You are looking for is 'pop before smtp'? There is a solution from
Russel Nelson on www.qmail.org : 'relaying to any host which authenticates
itself through a POP3 connection'.

Hello,
I have a supervised qmail running under tcpserver configured to use
multilog which is also supervised. When I look at /var/qmail/log/current I
see the following entries:
@40000000395782f732c6bdbc alert: cannot start: unable to open mutex
Under the /var/log/qmail/smtpd directory I see the following entries in the
current file:
@400000003957825d1e6067c4 tcpserver: fatal: unable to bind: address already
used
This happens despite running /usr/local/sbin/qmail restart successfully, I
don't see any error messages printed to console. If anyone could give me
any feedback regarding this I would aprreciate it. I am running qmail on a
Solaris 2.6 system.
Hello, I need a soltion to this problem:
email comes in:
in .qmail-default I have
| preline /usr/bin/check.py
./Maildir/
But what I really want is this:
Only go in the Maildir if check returns a certain result code.
Basiaclly check checks if the email to address is in a certain DB. If it
is, it puts the message elsewhere and then I do not want it in the
Maildir.
If it isnt in the DB, I want it in the Maildir.
Any ideas on how I can do this?
thanks
Adam

It looks like you'll want check.py to exit with a code of
99. See the man page for qmail-command(8) for details.

How Do I log users email, say i got jdoe
all the emails sent or reiceved from joe to store into a directory.
or How Do i get qmail to store a copy of emails users or somewhat.
Thanks a lot
our redhat linux machine mira's sendmail is using our redhat linux qmail
server luzifer as smarthost
when users on that mira send mails, the mails contain a return-path
containing the full hostname mira.webseek.de which is not fully qualified
(just for internal LAN use) and thus causing problems.
mira's sendmail masks [EMAIL PROTECTED] as [EMAIL PROTECTED] which is
fine, but that durn return-path gets added (by qmail?)
how can i prevent/overwrite that in our qmail configuration?
wolfgang
how would i set up an autoreply for incoming messages in qmail?
with a .qmail-* file? and if so, what should it contain exactly?
or is there a way to do it with the fastforward tool?
wolfgang
i found a rather easy way to do it at
http://www.ornl.gov/its/archives/mailing-lists/qmail/1999/04/msg00134.html
now i wonder if i could quote the original message?
is there a variable like $msg or something that can be used for that?

Try to use autorespond (it's on qmail site). It has all of the options
you want.

As I told Wolfgnang Zeikat: use AUTORESPOND (available from qmail
sites).
I have a question to LIST ADMINS: is it possible to make a FAQ to this
list ? People should read FAQ before saying something.
It's boring to answer all the questions n-times...
Is it so hard to think that problem which you have should had been
solved by other list readers ?
Maybe it should be added a trailer with http address of FAQ and
search engine for this list ? Of course this are only my private
suggestions ( I know that it will be more traffic provided by this 2
lines at the end of message, but IMHO it can help a lot)

I'm sure this was something dumb I did in the merge, but since I see the

I have a firewall machine (set as MX for several domains)
forwarding E-mail via QMQP to an internal POP machine. The internal
machine is running VPOPMAIL to support virtual domains using MySQL
support. When I send a message using qmail-inject to the internal machine
(from the internal machine), it succeeds in delivering it to any address on any
virtual domain. If, however, I do the qmail-inject from the gateway
machine, it tosses it (seemingly successfully) to the internal machine, which
then gives an error: "Unable to chdir to maildir. (#4.2.1)/"
Which permissions am I missing somewhere? /home/vpopmail
is vpopmail.vchkpw ... etc. Anyone seen this before?

Hi,
What's the correct procedure for installing the big-concurrency patch on a

Is it just a patch, make, make setup check, restart qmail? Or will it
affect/break anything else?

This advice applies ONLY to the big-concurrency patch (specifically, the one
from www.qmail.org). Other big-* patches are not quite as forgiving.
I would stop qmail before doing make setup (or moving qmail-send and
qmail-?spawn into place). qmail-send runs as a daemon that starts
qmail-?spawn, if the running version of qmail-send doesn't speak the same
language as the invokable versions of qmail-?spawn, you could run into some
trouble. If you're doing a live heavy-duty mission-critical production
server, test out the patch (and your planned patch procedure) on another
server first.

I donna know what's in your case but I would first back up /var/qmail
structure (without queue of course) and then trying to put any
patches... i.e. at night :>

I know few situations from NetSol and their management system.

And you don't have to use e-mails. Just play few minutes with NetSol

restored qmail from a backup cd (several months old) and found out that
long file nams were lost. I went to the qmail src directory and types
make setup check. Anyway qmail-send is now using over 90% (60% system,

What OS? You might want to do a system call trace on qmail-send. truss, strace,
etc.
Also, can you show us the output of: ls -dl /var/qmail/queue/lock

maybe try to look at `pstree`
look into maillog, try to locate the problem (it can don't have
permissions to maillog, or splogger can fork him self and make

If you rolled out your /var/qmail/queue directory from an archive, it is
certainly FUBAR. Qmail tracks messages in the queue by inode #, which no
archiving util will retain (for good reasons). You might try using this
script to fix your queue structure:

qmail structures the queue by inode number. When the inodes and filenames
no longer match up as qmail expects, things can get silly. There are
restoration tools available at www.qmail.org - these enable you to rebuild a
queue after moving it, restoring it, or making other intrusive
modifications.
Another thing to check is that your trigger file is still intact. qmail
uses a named pipe as its trigger, if the pipe is lost, qmail-send will
refuse to run, and supervise will try restarting it. If your backup
software doesn't understand how to store or recover pipes, you'll need to
create it manually. If you find that the trigger is gone or has been
transformed into an improper type (it should be a named pipe, which ls will
show as p), use mknod to recreate it (possibly after removing the broken
file). In your queue directory, type "mknod trigger p", and use chown and
chmod to set its ownership and mode appropriately (UID qmails, GID qmail,
and mode 644).

1) I'm working on a program to accept emailed updates of zone files
via qmail.
2) tinydns owns its home directory (/etc/tinydns), so it should be no
problem to send mail to tinydns.
3) The tinydns home directory is also used as the service directory,
linked to from /service. The tinydns log files are owned by a user
named tinylog.
Anybody see why these three facts put together don't work? I'll give
you a screenful to think about it.

Okay, here's the answer: tinydns uses a log file. Svscan notices that
a service directory needs a log started up because the service
directory has the sticky bit set. This is also tinydns's home
directory. Qmail refuses to deliver mail to users whose home
directory has the sticky bit set. So tinydns can't receive mail.
Oops. I'm sure there's a way out of this, but it's disappointing that
the simplest possible way to hook these programs together does not
work.

Russ, would it be possible to have the email delivered to a different user
and have that users .qmail file copy all the zone updates to tinydns's
directory?
Or even a 2 minute interval cron job that does basicly the same thing?

Greetings,
I've never had a need for virtual domains, but
am approaching that time and wonder if my
interpretation of "Life w/ qmail" is correct...
say I have an entry in the virtual domain file:
domain2.net:xyz
would mail sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
get delivered locally to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ???
(after of course i add domain2.net to my rcpthost
file but not to the locals file and perform some DNS
magic)
Thanks for yeah/nay,
Mike.

Yes. That's right.
I've collected a few examples here:

Produce two packages:
qmail, which is a 100% debian-compatible binary package which puts
files in the locations required by Debian.
qmail-compat, which is required by qmail, and which uses symlinks
to ensure that all files are found in the locations Dan has
mandated.
Those two packages satisfy Dan's requirements for qmail distributors,
and satisfies Debian's requirements for locations of binaries, man
pages, and configuration files.

I thought Debian was foolishly talking about removing non-free?
You'll never, ever get qmail into Debian except in non-free. And if
Debian stops distributing non-free, then there's no point in worrying
about Debian compatibility. You may as well produce a 100%
djb-compatible vanilla qmail .deb.

I have the same problem. What part and where of the script are you saying to
place an "exec" at?

Um, all of the rest of the scripts on the howto have the "exec" right where it
should be. You copied the init.d script from the howto, how come you didn't
copy the rest?
BTW, that qmail script will only stop the actual service. "supervise
qmail-*" will still show up in your process list. If you want to shutdown
the service completely you will have to change the "svc -d" to "svc -dx".

Hello-
I am new to qmail, and am in the process of deploying my first qmail MTA
cluster, so please forgive me if this question has been asked before (I read
the FAQ and searched the archives, and I didn't see anything related).
My question relates to the logging that qmail-send does through syslog, and
qmailanalog's use of that information.
I'm pretty sure that qmailanalog uses qmail-send's logging to provide
statistics about message delays (how fast were 90% of the messages
delivered, etc.). The problem is, the messages generated by qmail-send
don't tell the whole story- specifically, they do not tell how long the
message sat in the queue before qmail-send picked it up for the first time,
do they?
Can someone enlighten me as to whether the statistics produced by
qmailanalog include the time between when qmail-queue writes the message to
the queue and the time qmail-send picks it up for the first time. If this
time is included, I'd be interested in how this is done, since qmail-queue
doesn't write any logs at all. Perhaps the timestamp of the queue file is
used?
Thank you,
Danny Burkes
