i have compiled qmail 1.03 , with qmail-ldap latest patch , i am able to send and receive mails in to ~home/user/Maildir for my domain say "mydomain.com" now i want set it up for virtual domains say "virtualdomain.com" i have done "rcpthost" , "virtualdomains" and ".qmail part " to accept mails for virtual domain and FW it to other place , my problem is but how can i configure my qmail/Ldap directory server to accept mails for [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put them in to their respective /Home/User/Maildir can this be possible by defining maildirstore in LDAP (directory server ) and instruct qmail to take delievery directory from Directory server or some thing like that is there any workaround for this problem is there any solution that will work with qmail-ldap because i am not using /etc/passwd thanks in advance Prashant desai
Hey Raj, how do you do the forwarding to the internal mail server? Do you have a virtualdomains entry set up for indsoft.co.in? If so, let's pretend that you have an entry like this: indsoft.co.in:username And then maybe in username's directory, you have a .qmail* of some type that handles the forwarding to the internal mail server. I think you could create a rule in your /.../qmail/users/assign file that says something like =username-all:blockall:uid:gid:directory::: where the 'blockall', uid, and gid, are an actual user account on your front-end computer. In blockall's directory, you put a .qmail & .qmail-default that has your email address, [EMAIL PROTECTED] I think if you did that, the rule would catch any incoming [EMAIL PROTECTED] emails and forward them to you instead of to the internal mail server.

Dear All In the past few days, One of my server is being flooded. The from and the to address is of my own domain so I cannot put that in badmailfrom. Looks like someone is trying to flood our servers by sending a lot of junk mails. As per the example below, the only thing that is common is HELO linux.remotefirewalls.com. How do I stop receiving mails via such domain. Writing to the postmaster there might take a long time and the servers might change. I am using qmail 1.03 and Redhat Linux 6.0.

How about blocking the sender's IP in /etc/tcpcontrol/smtp.rules (or where that is on your system) - just add a line 207.105.53.78:deny and they will not be allowed to speak to your server. Another possibility is locking them out with ipchains -A -s 207.105.53.78 --destination-port 25 -j DENY (assuming Linux) -Johan -- Johan Almqvist
I think a procmail rule to filter this out would do the trick read the documentation on procmail I think you will have to set your defaults in /etc/procmailrc. It is all there in the manual page.

Dear All, Sorry for this question, but whenever my server accepts an incomming connection, how do I set qmail to do a reverse dns lookup and reject the mail if the sender domian does not exist. Thanks Shashi Dahal.
Hi, you can use the MFCHECK patch from QMAIL's home page or my SPAMCONTROL patch which includes it. http://www.fehcom.de/qmail_en.html cheers eh.

Hy ! If you use tcpserver (ucspi package), simply add the -p parameter to tcpserver command line. This will force the "paranoid" mode and tcpserver will do a reverse DNS check. Regards, Chris.
Quoting [EMAIL PROTECTED] ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): > If you use tcpserver (ucspi package), simply add the -p parameter to > tcpserver command line. This will force the "paranoid" mode and > tcpserver will do a reverse DNS check. This will force tcpserver to make sure the A and PTR records are a match. tcpserver does reverse lookups by default -- the -h and -H switches control this. In addition, setting -p only tells tcpserver to set a particular environment variable if the connection is deemed "paranoid." You need another switch to actually get it to reject the connection outright. This wasn't what he was asking about. He wants to reject connections, if I understand his english properly, that come from IP addresses that don't resolve to a name (reverse dns lookup). I think that's a bad idea. You didn't quote or attribute the message to which you were replying. Tisk -- this is a mailing list, after all. I'd be able to show better that you answered without understanding exactly what he meant. Aaron

If you find what alias it is using to log to ('log' in the example, 'msglog' for you, perhaps) you can drop those messages by creating /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-name (where name is 'log', 'msglog', or whatever your system was compiled to use) and putting a single '#' in the file. In the long term, if you don't want logging, you may want to recompile without QUEUE_EXTRA. The extra deliveries show up in the logs even if you drop the mail using '#' in the .qmail file. -- gowen -- Greg Owen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi Ondrej, everybody Thats the one, /etc/cron.hourly/qmail A nice idea if you have an open system where your users can log in, but kinda screws things up if you want to create a closed system. In my case, my cyrus users are authenticated from a mysql db. Maybe this file is worth a note in the RPM documentation. thanks again Sean Craig Ondrej Sury wrote: > Sean Craig wrote: > > > > Hi all > > > > Hope you're having a better time than me. > > > > Periodically, and I haven't been able to narrow this down to any > > specific event, qmail overwrites my ~/users/assign file, and rebuilds > > the cdb. > > > > I also find a huge mail log 'cause qmail tries to deliver a copy of > > every message to a non-existent [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > Any ideas would really be appreciated. > > Again GOD damn those RPMs. Check your crontable.

Inetd and tcpserver are programs designed to accept traffic on a port and start a given program in response to that traffic. supervise is designed to start a program, restart it if it fails unexpectedly, and provide an easy way to pass signals to the program. So, you would use supervise to start tcpserver which starts qmail-smtpd, and if tcpserver died supervise would restart it for you. Given the reliability of qmail and related tools, I've always wondered why supervise came about ;>. You can use it or not, as you prefer. -- gowen -- Greg Owen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thanks for that... One other thing now. I want to use multilog to log on machines not running supervise, because we just want simple set up and I want to be able to parse the log files through either qmailanalog or qmail-mrtg (any recommendations here?).

Is this easy to do? Sure, just replace 'splogger' in your qmail-start invocation (/var/qmail/rc in the INSTALL directions) with the appropriate 'multilog' line. qmailanalog won't correctly handle the new timestamps that the newest multilog uses, but there are ways to work around that - I've attached two relevant messages. -- gowen -- Greg Owen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Because "reliability means never having to say you're sorry" (DJB). The key word there is "never". If you don't want or need reliability, by all means, skip supervise. Of course, you'll also be giving up the handy process control features provided by the "svc" interface. See the "qmail" script from "Life with qmail", for example. -Dave
Hi, I am Mario Libraro and this is the first time i write on this mailing list.. I have to setup a mailserver with 15000 (or probably, in a next future up to 20.000) users. The info about user accounts are now in a MSAccess database but i can convert them in any plain text fashion. My questions are: - is it difficult to load 15000 user acconuts in qmail with a script (using the database or a text list)? This implies that i must load 15000 user accounts in the system (/etc/passwd) ? and... - is there a webmail module for qmail ? - is it possible for users to remotely change mail password and add mail aliases ? - is it possible for an administrator to remotely add/modify/remove accounts ? Thanks in advance..!! Mario Libraro
Hi you can checkout www.qmail.org for complete details on web module and everything on qmail regards, parag mehta On Wed, 28 Jun 2000, mario libraro wrote: > Hi, > > I am Mario Libraro and this is the first time i write on this mailing list.. > > I have to setup a mailserver with 15000 (or probably, in a next future > up to 20.000) users.

This > implies that i must load 15000 user accounts in the system (/etc/passwd) ? No, you can use qmail with a single system UID/GID. There is a link off the qmail.org home page describing how to do so.

Hello, I was wondering if someone could tell me how to have multilog automatically write standard Unix timestamps to its logfiles instead of the tai64n format. I know that tai64nlocal will do the conversions but do you know what the syntax in the run file would need to be changed to. Currently I have : #!/bin/sh exec /usr/local/bin/setuidgid qmaill /usr/local/bin/multilog t /var/log/qmail The second questions is the 0 after the gid and before the smtpd keyword in the following start script for. I know smtp specifies the port but after looking at the man page I still can't figure out what the 0 is for. Anyways thanks. #!/bin/sh QMAILDUID=`-u qmaild` NOFILESGID=`-g qmaild` exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 2000000 /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -p -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb \ -u $QMAILDUID -g $NOFILESGID 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1 Clifford Thurber Web Systems Administrator LiveUniverse.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] 565 5th Ave. 29th Fl.

What you *could* do is pipe your log information through something to prepend your desired timestamp and pipe the output of that into multilog. You would then leave out the 't' in the multilog invocation to stop multilog adding its own timestamps. > The second questions is the 0 after the gid and before the smtpd keyword in > the following start script for.

Their answer was predictable - at least they have to try and sell their SIMS. I don't know about qmail - but as we have used a Sun U2 (two cpus) with 100,000 mailboxes for a short period of time with sendmail, qmail should easily handle much more. The problem - in this case - is Suns filesystem and qmails file operations. You didn't mention the number of disks in your A1000 - but maybe you should add some and spread the load between them. My suggestion, though, would be to dump the E450 and grab a reasonable sized Intel box (maybe dual PII 500) with FreeBSD on it. With FreeBSD, ffs and softupdates your i/o headaches should be gone. By T�ns -- Linux. The dot in /.
Could you, or anyone else who would care to join this discussion, please be more specific re: "Suns filesystems and qmails file operations"? We are load balancing a pair of Sun E250's sharing one disk array via NFS. All Maildirs are on the NFS share. So far (roughly 10,000 mailboxes) I don't notice any real problems. But I would be very interested in more detail regarding these two issues (Sun filesystems and qmail file operations) in case I do begin to notice I/O issues on the NFS server. Can you give a detailed explanation or perhaps point me to some appropriate docs for more detail?

Title: RE: Building very large Qmail instalations...I am also tackling the same problem. My idea is to have a line of frontend servers load-balanced at network level and other line of servers solely taking care of storage. The mail servers would access the storage via NFS on a private network. My current problem is to pick the right techology: NAS like NetApp or SAN like SGI's CXFS.

Subject: Building very large Qmail instalations...
I'm one of the admins of a largish Qmail installation (~60,000 mailboxes)
and the hardware we're running it on it near the limit.
(Sun Ultra 450, dual processor, A1000 storage array)
The system is very IO bound, sometimes with a load average of 20-25.
(although usually between 3-8)Now, we called Sun, asking about a high capacity disk solution, one that might
help with the IO problems. (cache on the disk array to take care of all the
fsyncs Qmail does)
They told us that around 50k-60k mailboxes is about the limit of Qmail.Now, my question to all of you is how expandable is Qmail, and what's the best
way to do it?We're looking to expand the system to 150,000-200,000 mailboxes.
How does Qmail deal with a single storage array linked to multiple load
balenced servers?Greg
Well...I have a little 2c to chuck in as well I have just finished designing a system (and implementing it) for our corporation that allows distributed e-mail across a city, with hundreds, possibly thousands, of different locations either dialing up or being permanently connected to our main relay. And all e-mail is sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED], no subdomains (although we have set it up to allow for virtual domains in the future), and is delivered to the correct location. All the e-mail is relayed to NFS shares on client machines around Sydney, uing Qmail's maildir delivery format. If an NFS share is down (ie a site hasn't dialed up recently or an ISDN link has failed), then it is deferred for up to a week - simplistic but it works. All users can check their e-mail internally from their local server or externally from the main server (only internet viewable machine in the entire network, and even then through a router) via NIS. Why go to all this trouble? You may say. Why not just use aliases? Because aliases can create excess traffic, bouncing e-mails when servers are down and the like. The aim of this project was to make network traffic across the whole network as small as possible, with reliability for as many locations as possible and the ability for smaller ones to only have to dial in (similar to UUCP). This way, the only network traffic is an e-mail being transferred to an NFS share, and all employees are happy. If a server goes down, no others are affected (except if the master server was to go down, but even then POP and SMTP will still work, just being deferred until it comes up again). We are also working on a redundant server for when a link goes down or the server has a failure. If you're still reading, congratulations you might be interested in all this. I am considering writing a HOWTO for this (Reliable and Efficient Distributed e-mail (REDE) across endless locations) if anybody wants it, because I have to document it all anyway for the corporation. There might already be something already out there, I dunno. But it was a great learning experience for me in Qmail, NFS, NIS, network infrastructure between locations... If anybody is interested in a HOWTO in the future, please e-mail me personally. Regards Brett Randall
hi, today i got my webserver connected to the internet. of course, there were some things to do. but the most worst thing i am struggling with is the following: i am running qmail together with qmail-pop3d. now, the following problem occurs today: i can send emails from console to any of my friends and there is no problem sending emails from console to one of my virtual domains like i.e. [EMAIL PROTECTED] that works all perfectly. BUT, sending an email to i.e. [EMAIL PROTECTED] from another host somewhere on the net always fails with "sorry, no mailbox by that name". i am trying to fix this since 6 hours now, but i am really confused now and a little bit tired of reading all the docs. somebody here who solved this ? -- regards, jens --------------------------------------------------------------------------- department computer science, university of dortmund linux ... life's too short for reboots!
hi, i fixed the problem right now ! it was a dns and not qmail problem. mydomain.com was always resolved to www.mydomain.com and of course qmail didn't know what to with email for [EMAIL PROTECTED] because it was configured for mydomain.com in control/virtualdomains only :-). this problem was caused by the fact that i am using my provider's dns until my one works perfectly and my isp used a slightly different zone- file. grrr .... much of wasted time today.... > i am trying to fix this since 6 hours now, but i am really confused now > and a little bit tired of reading all the docs. somebody here who solved > this ? -- regards, jens --------------------------------------------------------------------------- department computer science, university of dortmund linux ... life's too short for reboots!

No other reason than : Before the permission change qmail start would freak out with unable to change to current directory. When i changed the permissions on /var/qmail/supervise and it's subs to qmaill.qmail it worked like a charm.

The only changes you need to make in your procmailrc is to remove locking (not necessary anymore) and add a trailing slash at the end of each maildir name (to indicate that it's a maildir procmail is delivering to), e.g. :0: * ^delivered-to: mailing list qmail@list\.cr\.yp\.to qmail becomes :0 * ^delivered-to: mailing list qmail@list\.cr\.yp\.to qmail/ Hope that helps, Ronny

Hallo all, I want specified users to get or send only mails from a specified domain, called "a". The users are system users with a valid mail box. The prob here is, that theoretically the users can tell their mail client another domain which is hosted on my server, let it call "b". What do I have to do so the users can only get or send mails from domain "a"? Thanks for your help. Thomas
I'm new to qmail, and I'm considering using it as a replacement for Exchange at several clients. Is there a shared address book component, similar to the Global Address List in Exchange? Is there a webmail interface that anyone particularly likes? Has anyone implemented one of the My-SQL components? I like the idea of using a database rather than dealing with bloated mail files. Thanks! Mike
Hi, We've got an internal machine here inside our firewall that we check our email on. We've also got 2 external machines handling email for our customers at the domains mydomain.net (a linux machine running sendmail) and mydomain.org (a linux machine running qmail). Employess have their mail forwarded to our internal machine, web0.mydomain.net. What we'd like to do is to be able to send mail to each other at our @mydomain.net/.org addresses and have them try to deliver locally first, on our internal machine, then deliver to the other machines if the user isn't found internally first. This is what I set up to do this (defaultdomain,me and plusdomain were set up by a previous sysadmin): me web0.mydomain.net defaultdomain mydomain.net locals localhost web0 web0.mydomain.net web0.mydomain.org mydomain.net mydomain.org plusdomain mydomain.net rcpthosts localhost web0 web0.mydomain.net web0.mydomain.org locals localhost web0 web0.mydomain.net web0.mydomain.org mydomain.net mydomain.org plusdomain mydomain.net rcpthosts localhost web0 web0.mydomain.net web0.mydomain.org .qmail-default |fastforward -Npd /etc/aliases.cdb |forward "$[EMAIL PROTECTED]" eve.mydomain.net accepts mail and then forwards on to grace.mydomain.org if a user isn't found there. What is happening now is that mail is delivered locally, but if the mail has to be delivered to eve first, the message arrives with NO message body. I am lost as to why this would happen. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Does it matter if the .qmail-default file has the commands on separate lines? Should I add mydomain.net and mydomain.org to the rcpthosts file? Does it make a difference if the machine email is being redirected to is running sendmail? Qmail is new to me so any advice is very much appreciated.

Hi list, How i can limit the traffic of my mail server for connections out of my LAN? I'm thinking to put 2 network boards on the machine and use shaper in one of them, so i set MX to a board and pop3.xxx.com and smtp.xxx.com to other board (not shaped), that's ok, but i can't make a routing table to this. Look the scheme: ----------------------------------------- At Linux: 10.0.0.2 - eth0 10.0.0.3 - eth1 (shaped at 512k) At DNS: xxx.com IN MX 10.0.0.3 pop3.xxx.com IN A 10.0.0.2 smtp.xxx.com IN A 10.0.0.2 ------------------------------------------- Any Ideias?

Hi qmailers I am running qmail 1.03 for our local users, and it connects to the internet by a ppp link , using serialmail to send and fetchmail to download mail, and it works fine. Now I'm trying to deliver all local mail to other host without any luck. I removed all entries from "locals" and add one in smtproutes wich points our domain to the new host "Mydomain.com:192.168.1.100" What happend is that all outgoing mail goes fine to the pppdir ( my virtualdomains file says ":alias-ppp", and from there to my ISP, but when I try to send something to my domain, it also goes to the pppdir, it never reaches the smtproute, and if I include our domain in "locals" it reach the users in the actual host, never the new one. May be this should be simple, but I feel blind at this time. Any help will be welcome. Thanks. Eduardo Moor
First of all, this is a really stupid situation we should never have run into in the first place ; however : Due to some not so interesting reasons, for a couple of days our DNS has pointed to another machine with our cloned qmail-configuration on another IP in another town. I have complete root access to that machine. Now everything is back as before, but while this machine was MX for quite a bunch of virtual domains we host, the mail arrived there. What I need to do now, and I am discovering qmail, is a way to get all the mail from the distant server to be sent to our machine with a minimum of fuss and if possible transparent to the users (just being late, extra headers don't hurt as long as they are of the kind lusers see by default in their mailer). I have started plunging into the really dense documentation of qmail and read some interesting contributions in the archive of this list, compiled maildircmd and taken a look at its doc as well. While I feel that there must be a simple solution short of writing a brute-force-and-ignorance-script with a complete list of maildirs to be processed, I lack the experience to figure this out on my own. Thanks in advance to the list for some pointers to intelligent solutions for my stupid problem. -- Best Regards Andr� Morin
It depends on where the mail is on this clone server. Is it in the mail queue or has it been locally delivered to users there? The former is much easier to deal with than the latter. Regards.

You may need to grep out certain Delivered-to: > headers to avoid hitting the anti-loop code of qmail. Nearly all use simple maildir delivery. How would I do this ? Write a script to grep out the last Delivered-to: header ? Use some qmail-program to do that ? What would be the right way to do the qmail-inject then ? Will I need to create a smtproute-file in spite of the fact that the correct MX is now known to the DNS-servers used by the clone to resolve names ? > If you are not so lucky, then it'll be painful and thankless and > probably imperfect and there is no one solution. I am really a comple newbie to qmail, while I am discovering the doc, I am quite amazed about its nifty design. The other option for me would be some ugly script doing some rsync-alike things to the maildirectories of the users.

If it was delivered to maildirs, would a simple tar / FTP /untar solution work ?? assuming ofcourse that both machines have the same maildir setup ?

I'd copy all the messages from all the users to the ~alias Maildir, and then use djb's serialmail (the maildirsmtp util, to be exact) to blast'em to the original machine. After checking, delete the messages. This shouldn't work with mailboxes, tough.

They do indeed have the same setup. I was looking into such a brute force approach as well. It will certainly do the trick, but I hoped to end up with a more elegant (qmail) solution. But it looks like I will have to do just what you suggest. I do not see any specific qmail-precautions to take while I untar the stuff, am I right ? Thank you anyway to both of you, who answered my questions so quickly, for confirming me that I did not overlook some really cheap trick. > At 02:38 AM 6/29/00 +0200, you wrote: > > > > > >On Wed, 28 Jun 2000 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > >> Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2000 17:11:02 -0700 > >> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >> Subject: Re: how do I resync two machines after MX confusion ? > >> > >> On Thu, Jun 29, 2000 at 02:03:46AM +0200, Andre Morin wrote: > >> > > >> > Unfortunately, the second option is what I have to face. > >> > >> > >> Then unless you have a way of definitively identifying which emails > >> to extract from whathever local delivery method each user employs, > >> then you have no perfect solution. > >> > >> If the user has control of the delivery/forwarding in any way, > >> they may not be retreivable at all.

File and directory ownership could give some headaches... If you have good bandwidth between the machines, I again recomend maildirsmtp. Armando From: Andre Morin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >I do not see any specific qmail-precautions to take while I untar the >stuff, am I right ?
There is purportedly a patch for this but the link on the qmail website is stale. (The site exists but the file isn't there anymore.)

I don't have it anywhere I can reach it now, but I've posted a port of the maxrcpt patch from 1.02 to 1.03 (i suppose that's the one you're talking about). Search this mlist's archives.

does qmail support the filehandle in linux?
I've looked at the web pages for both tools and in the archives themselves, but I can't find anything having to do with licensing issues for these two programs. I know they're not GNU, but I was wondering about distribution for them. I've made Mandrake RPMs for them would like to know if I can distribute them. The only changes I've made are to place the binaries in /usr/bin instead of /usr/local/bin. Can I distribute binaries this way? No patches or anything else have been applied to them. Or do I have to put them into /usr/local/bin in order to distribute them? Thank you in advance. If you can point me to a page describing the license for either program as well, I would sincerely appreciate it (as I think the license should be included in the RPMs also). -- [EMAIL PROTECTED], OpenPGP key available on www.keyserver.net Freezer Burn BBS: telnet://bbs.freezer-burn.org .

A quick peek on the list archive came up with no definative answer. The only page that might help you out is: ftp://koobera.math.uic.edu/www/lists.html#qmaildist which tells you how to subscribe to a list which is for distributors of qmail-related packages. I'd have to assume that ucspi-tcp and daemontools are somewhat qmail related. Pat

guys, lets say i have a quota limit then when there is an incoming mail that exceed my quota of course the mail will be bounce. does qmail accept the mail before bouncing it back or check first if its exceed the qmail wont acept it (i mean no need to put in the queue)

Have you tried looking for qmail queuefix ? Or was that the program you used to move the queue in the first place ? Should have a link on www.qmail.org somewhere ;-) > PipE HTH, Steffan -- http://therookie.dyndns.org
Hi! We have a qmail-system that is running fine, as expected. The only problem is that my users are not able to send mails to techfak.uni-bielefeld.de because of "CNAME lookup failed temporarily. (#4.4.3)" happening. I got this mail from their admin that says, it is a qmail fault. The error is in the used version of libresolv. I cannot believe this. Please give me some statements to help me argue. ;-) ----- Begin forwarded message ----- Hallo, > > > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > CNAME lookup failed temporarily. (#4.4.3) wie ich vermutet habe ist das ein Problem mit "qmail" im Zusammenspiel mit der Resolver-Library. "qmail" ist an der Stelle ``broken by design'' und der eigentliche Fehler steckt in der eingesetzten Version der libresolv. Wenden Sie sich bitte an Ihren Netz-/Systemverwalter, um das Problem dort beheben zu lassen.

There is one thing bothering me for a while. I first compiled qmail using Maildir but decided to back to Mailbox instead later. But whenever I add a new user using "useradd" on my redhat, it automatically adds a Maildir in the user's folder. Even after I recompiled qmail. Does anybody have the same experience before? Any help is appreciated.
