This is taken from some documentation on fetchmail. Is there anyway I can inject things back into Maildir instead of mbox? (my other solution is to start hacking the fetchmail source) Thanks. Thomas Ensure the option `envelope Delivered-To:' is in the fetchmail config file. Ensure you have a localdomains containing 'userdom.dom.com' or `userhost.dom.com' respectively. So far this reliably delivers messages to the correct machine of the local network, to deliver to the correct user the 'mbox-userstr-' prefix must be stripped off of the user name. This can be done by setting up an alias within the qmail MTA on each local machine. Simply create a dot-qmail file called '.qmail-mbox-userstr-default' in the alias directory (normally /var/qmail/alias) with the contents: | ../bin/qmail-inject -a -f"$SENDER" "${LOCAL#mbox-userstr-}@$HOST"

There's no need unless you want to use procmail's abilities. By default fetchmail delivers to port 25 on the local machine, and qmail certainly knows how to deliver to a Maildir.

Hello everyone. I am new to this list and new to qmail. I have been reading many of the excellent documentation about qmail and it's capabilities. I have to say I am impressed. I was hoping some of you would allow me to pick your brains. I am setting up a machine(s) with many virtual domains. Could some of you provide a comparison on difficulty of doing this with qmail as compared to sendmail. Especially if some of you have tried this with sendmail and decided to convert to qmail. I have searched on the web for something like this but found nothing. If any of you have a web site to reference, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Jeff Jones
A new HOWTO I am writing for distributed email is actualy incorporating this, but it is also somewhere in the FAQ I think. But - basically - install fastforward to use /etc/aliases, then edit /var/qmail/control/virtualhosts and add the entries virtualhost.dom:alias (leave the word alias as is), then edit /etc/aliases and set up the alias to include the virtual host/domain. for example:
virtualhosts:
newdomain.com:alias
/etc/aliases:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hope this helps. BTW the MX record and routing MUST be set up correctly for this to work.

I have done exactly what you describe: moved a large, multi-domain sendmail site to qmail. I highly recommend the vpopmail package by Ken Jones. It completely automates the setup and maintenance of virtual domains. An added bonus is that it is all controlled by a single user, so security is much improved. vpopmail is available from www.inter7.com/vpopmail/. I would be happy to answer any questions about our setup off the list... Ben -- Ben Beuchler [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hostmaster/Postmaster (612)-321-9290 x101 Bitstream Underground www.bitstream.net
hi list, I've had to quickly recover from a full server crash, and, together with many things, I've had to re-contrsuct my qmail control files from scratch. I forgot to change 'me' and had many bounces from [EMAIL PROTECTED] and that prompted a question ... does qmail keep all sent msgs there? what is exaclty the purpouse of this msglog@x? martin

I think CC'ing "msglog" is a feature of one the qmail RPM's. The purpose is to allow you to log information from each message that passes through the system--up to and including the entire message. See "man dot-qmail" for tips on constructing an appropriate ~alias/.qmail-msglog. -Dave

hi, today i solved the problem which was caused by a nasty character in the line mydomain.com:georg* in virtualdomains. of course, georg* is no local user and so it's clear why qmail cannot find a mailbox for that user! that character was not visibile in joe, but when printing it to paper, it appears! i removed it and everything works perfectly now again. the only strange thing is, that i can't imagine how this character could appear there. anyway, thanks to both of you for your help ! -- regards, jens --------------------------------------------------------------------------- department computer science, university of dortmund linux ... life's too short for reboots!

If that's where you've configured qmail to log, then something's wrong with your configuration. Post your qmail-send/run and qmail-send/log/run scripts. >Also In /var/log/qmail-smtpd the log file says... TCP server fatal >error..unable to bind to address.. address already in use.... That means tcpserver is trying to listen to port 25 but something else (either another tcpserver or inetd or sendmail or ...) is already doing that. Make sure sendmail isn't running. >Please note that however all the mails are working perfectly fine and we >are able to send emails to our users and also to the internet.... including >the Virtual domains that we had setup... Are you receiving mail *from* the Internet? Do the headers show that qmail is processing them? -Dave

Scratch that last one. Got it working. Had to specify the IP address in the tcpserver command line. Instead of: /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -u 102 -g 100 -x /usr/local/etc/ip/tcp.smtp.cdb smtp 0 I had replace '0' with the IP of my machine. Alls good now.

Hi, I would like to ask how to set up a quota limit in qmail for each user or any other alternative to set up a quota for each mail user. Thank you Mark
Mark Lo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I would like to ask how to set up a quota limit in qmail for >each user or any other alternative to set up a quota for each mail user. You can, of course, use filesystem quotas to limit user mailboxes. If you need a mailbox quota specifically, look on www.qmail.org for patches or add-ons. -Dave
Hi, I created a system user named vmail. In vmail's HOME dir I created a dir named Maildir-mirza and I echo ./Maildir-mirza/ > ~/.qmail-mirza. In /var/qmail/users I created the file "assign" with an entry like below:- +mirza:vmail:512:512:/home/vmail:-:mirza: . and I ran /var/qmail/bin/qmail-newu When I sent mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], then the mail will be in Maildir-mirza. My problem is that when I replied, the addr in FROM: is [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Is it possible to make [EMAIL PROTECTED] appears instead ??? I am doing this becoz I want to use courier-imap using userdb authentication so that virtual users use virtual Maildirs in vmail's home dir. Or did I misunderstood sumthing in the qmail setup. Thanks lavender

Sure. You can use anything whatsoever in the From field. Normally, this is done by configuring your mailer to use the desired address. With locally-injected mail (versus port 25-injected mail) you can use various environment variables to override the mailer's settings. See "man qmail-inject" or: http://Web.InfoAve.Net/~dsill/lwq.html#QMAILUSER http://Web.InfoAve.Net/~dsill/lwq.html#QMAILHOST -Dave
Hi, When I added "export QMAILSUSER=mirza" then the change is only noticeable in /var/log/maillog stating that the sender is mirza instead of the system user account vmail. Did I miss anything ??? Or I understood U wrongly. Could U give an example of how to set this up for a large number of virtual users sharing only one system user acoount ???

[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >Is qmail a cluster aware application. How can we create cluster on our >system using qmail on Red Hat Linux 5.2 or 6.2 "Cluster aware"? That's a new one to me. If I had a cluster of systems, I'd designate one to be the mailhub and install a normal qmail on it. The rest of the nodes would be null clients; forwarding all outgoing mail to the mailhub. Incoming mail to all nodes would be redirected to the mailhub via MX records. For reading, I'd deliver everything to maildirs on the mailhub. I'd run POP and/or IMAP for remote access, and/or NFS-mount user home dirs on the nodes for "local" access. If you require lots of redundancy, each node can be a full mailhub and MX backup for all the other nodes provided you NFS-share user home dirs among all nodes. Is that cluster awareness? -Dave

Yeah, but who cares?! You don't have to see the mail!!

Not if it's the only way it works for you. I had to unsubscribe an address from linux-kernel this way when I ended up with two subscriptions; unfortunately, it was a Majordomo list and took ~9000 bounced messages and three months to get me off of it.

Hi, I've been running Qmail now for a couple of years without incident and without any real problems. But I was wondering what makes Qmail faster than most mailers. Can someone enlighten me on the various reasons. Thanks in advance. Erik

But I was wondering what makes Qmail faster than >most mailers. Can someone enlighten me on the various reasons. Thanks in >advance. That's a good question. Basically, qmail is fast because it was designed to be fast and because the code was written by a talented programmer. Specifically, qmail blasts mail out quickly because: 1) Each recipient of a message gets its own qmail-remote, so qmail-rspawn doesn't have to spend lots of time looking up MX's, sorting, combining, etc. 2) Up to concurrencyremote qmail-remotes run simultaneously, unlike Sendmail which delivers to one recipient at a time. 3) All of the qmail processes are small, so they use up less memory, resulting in less swapping and paging. 4) qmail's queue is split into multiple directories to minimize the penalty of linear directory searches. For incoming mail, qmail is less dramatically faster than other MTA's because there's less room for improvement. Of course, the small processes and queue splitting help. qmail 2.0 promises to raise the bar with its "zeroseek" queue. See ftp://koobera.math.uic.edu/www/qmail/future.html for more information. -Dave

I ran the mbox2maildir script by Ivan Kohler and there seems to be a problem. I'm converting from Imail, and when it splits the messages up they end up in the Maildir correctly but when I download them via POP3 they have no subject, from, to, etc, as it appears the mail header is being interpreted as being a part of the message body. This happens in Outlook Express, Haven't checked elsewhere yet. Anyone know a workaround? J

Is there some kind of delimiter I am not able to see? I used the script that Ivan Kohler produced and if I download the messages, the header is part of the body of the message. It looks like Outlook is only able to discern the From <> Line and then it bails. But, however, if I open up the mailbox file, cut the lines past the message I am interested in and dump it into the maildir, it reads perfectly. Any ideas?

Can you give me a good place to start looking in DNS for a solution. The box running qmail is also the DNS box. I am in charge of both of them, although rather green in both too. Anyway I am looking for a good place to start. I am on the bind list and have mailed out my named.conf / 127.0.0 files and everyone says it's good to go.

the error CNAME_lookup_failed_temporarily._(#4.4.3) means that your machine cannot lookup the remote host. This does not mean that your qmail is misconfigured it does mean that your dns or the remote dns is misconfigured.

I want to accept email either A. from a set of defined IP addresses or B. to a set of defined domains qmail-smtpd does not appear to have a function to filter based on source IP address. tcpserver does though. Thus, I think I should be able to do this by defining two IP addresses on the system, and using separate tcpserver daemons to accept the mail. (I have control over the address particular types are delivered to) I know that I can use tcpserver's accept-from-IP functions for A. I know I can use rcpthosts for B. The problem is, I can't have messages accepted under criteria A be rejected on criteria B. It would be great if I could run this all on one system, but qmail-smtpd does not appear to have a switch to turn off or on using the rcpthosts from command line, or anything obvious to me at least. What do you think? Do I need to hack a version qmail-smtpd into a qmail-smtp-norcpt program that ignores rctphosts, and invoke that from my tcpserver for A? Or is there a defined way to do this already? Thanks for your help, David David Ihnen Integration Engineer myCIO 503-670-4018

The RELAYCLIENT environment variable in the cdb file tcpserver uses will turn off the rcpthosts checking. This is documented in great detail in the FAQ, life with qmail, and nearly everywhere else; it's the basic qmail relay control mechanism. rcpthosts defines the systems that you want to receive for, and then RELAYCLIENT selectively enables relaying for source IPs you want to allow it to. -- Photos: http://dd-b.lighthunters.net/ Minicon: http://www.mnstf.org/minicon Bookworms: http://ouroboros.demesne.com/ SF: http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b David Dyer-Bennet / Welcome to the future! / [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You'll set it up so that tcpserver allows all connections, and for some of them, sets the RELAYCLIENT environment variable, which signifies that qmail-smtpd should ignore rcpthosts. paul

However, my log files do not show this 'message queued' line. How do I add this line to my log? My goal is to be able to associate a message received from the network with the ip that sent it. The qmail log shows the sender's email address, but that of course could be phoney. The qmail-smtpd log shows the ip address, but without any means to associate the logged activity with a message that can be found in the qmail log. Thanks much!
Hey all, I almost have qmail running right. If I can just get it to send externally, all will be well. Anyway, I read Paul Greg Single UID POP3 Howto, and I was wondering if anyone else had as much trouble following it as I did. No disrespect, especially since he did it, and I can't figure out how to do it. Anyway, can anyone suggest some lessons learned, a better howto, or a better way to start off. Thanks

Hi, I'm trying to get relaying going with QMail for local IP addresses. I've installed tcpserver, and modified startup to run QMail under tcpserver. Using ps, I can see qmaild running as: qmaild .... /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -u 503 -g 502 0 smtp /var/qmai... In /etc/tcp.smtp I have: 203.34.190.129-254:allow,RELAYCLIENT="" 127.0.0.:allow,RELAYCLIENT="" I've run: tcprules /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb /etc/tcp.smtp.tmp < /etc/tcp.smtp However, when I check the rules using: tcprulescheck /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb I get: default: allow connection Should I be seeing something else here that indicates that RELAYCLIENT has been set for the IP's I've specified?

The only thing that I didn't try before was setting the $TCPREMOTEIP environment variable (I assume that's what the page you suggested means). However, setting that variable to 203.34.190.170 (an IP in the range I've set as to allow relaying), and I still get the same message with tcprulescheck, i.e. # echo $TCPREMOTEIP 203.34.190.170 # /usr/local/bin/tcprulescheck /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb default: allow connection So I'm still not sure if it's tcprules/tcpserver that's not working, or if there is some other reason that's fouling up relaying for me....

It looks like you might be using an older version of tcprulescheck. Try this and see what happens: tcprulescheck /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb 203.34.190.170 Chris

It looks like Chris Johnson is using an old version of tcprulescheck. ;) A careful read of http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp/tcprulescheck.html gives the correct semantics for version 0.88. Try this: TCPREMOTEIP=203.34.190.170 tcprulescheck /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb Brian

I appreciate the help everyone - please keep the suggestions coming! Cheers, -- Andrew Hill

I said to read carefullly. Reading just the first two words after the heading does not constitute a careful reading. :) If you bother to keep going, the paragraph explains that tcprulescheck uses the contents of the environment variables TCPREMOTEIP, TCPREMOTEHOST, and TCPREMOTEINFO to determine which entry in the cdb to return. If all three are unset, you get the default rule back. If you don't want the default rule, set one or more of them. > use the command: > > tcprulescheck cdb > > Anyway, the command you have suggested still gives me the same result as > before. Apparently your shell doesn't support that syntax. (Maybe you use (t)csh?) What you need to do is set the environment variable TCPREMOTEIP to the address you want to test, and then run "tcprulescheck /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb". In (t)csh, the syntax is: setenv TCPREMOTEIP 203.34.190.170 tcprulescheck /etc/tcpserver/tcp.smtp.cdb Note: I've tested both of my suggestions with ucspi-tcp 0.88, and both work here (in the appropriate shells of course).

I'm not sure about LDAP - do you mean for authentication? Its use of Maildir format is to store its 'database' of messages, one is not supposed to use the same Maildir directories directly. All the internal IMAP maildirs are in the INBOX folder and there is only one actual level of hierarchy. The naming of the directories provides the hierarchy of folders one sees on the IMAP server. The maildirs are named as follows:- .<Top Level.<Second Level>.<Third Level> i.e. they are all hidden (starting with '.') and the IMAP folder names are separated by '.'s. -- Chris Green ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Work: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: http://www.isbd.co.uk/
After having a quick look on cr.yp.to, I can't seem to find mention of a mailing list for ucspi users. Can anyone shed some light as to what it is or explain its omission? r.

In that case, I'm planning a client/server tool however I want all network traffic to be encrypted. I'd also like to sign requests to the server that a client may make so that I can trust that the message is authentic. Before plunging ahead and writing this, I thought it might be prudent to enquire if anyone had used these tools to do something similar and have some advice to impart. cheers, r.

; Tunnel through ssh is one way. ; yes, I thought about that, although I've had problems doing that in the past. Specifically, the remote ends seems to want to close the connection quite often, I haven't investigated the problem too deeply, but I was basically doing something like.. ssh -L ... user@host pause where pause just sleeps continuously -- not sure if that is the wisest way to proceed. Any suggestions welcome. r.

One of the advantages stunnel has when its run in daemon mode (as opposed to being run out of inetd or tcpserver[2]) is that it has session caching. Actually it might even be easier to just convince the stunnel folks to add UCSPI compliance, especially if you tempted them with patches. [1] http://www.stunnel.org/ [2] which I still haven't gotten to work because I've been side tracked with other things, but I'll try to get back to it soon and post a summary -- Jamie Heilman http://wcug.wwu.edu/~jamie/ "Most people wouldn't know music if it came up and bit them on the ass." -Frank Zappa
