Hi,
I have strange problems with my SMTP. Local
everything is working fine, even pop3 & checkpasword are running very good;
the only thing is I'm missing to send emails with e.g. the Outlook Express
Client (Receiving via pop3 is o.k.) I just checked qmail-show.ctl and found an
Option
databytes: (Default.) SMTP DATA limit is 0
bytes.
and
qmqpservers: (Default.) No QMQP servers. (I
don't know what that is...)
The error message coming from MS Outlook
Express is
The connection to the server has failed. Account:
'qmail-tester', Server: '193.168.100.59', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL):
No, Socket Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E
The ping is working like every other service. Does
anybody have a clue or a simple hint for me?
The qmail-control-files should be correct so far,
too...
Thanks.
Stef

Try to telnet to port 25 on that IP address. If you get a SMTP response and
prompt, then the problem is with the config of the smtp daemon. If you don't
get a response (ie it times out or disconnects immediately), then the
problem is either with the process on the machine (qmail-smtpd) or the
TCP/IP permissions (ie tcpserver allow/deny hosts). QMQP is irrelevant
(qmail queue protocol, not used often). The data limit is also irrelevant
(set to 0).
See what happens and let us know again.

The SMTP Server uses SSL (Secure Socket Layer) and does not allow non-SSL
(TLS) connection.
Have a look on qmail's home page and eventually include the STARTTLS patch
into qmail.

This has caught me a few times...notice the 'Secure(SSL): No'...yeah it
means that SSL is NOT used. Stupid Microsoft thing, but this is displayed no
matter what the error is. Pointless having it there, but hey we're talking
about a transnational corporation here why would they care about a small
thing like this? :>

Hi,
sorry my answer was misleading (damned X-HTML).
Your SMTP-Client is Outlook Express (on what OS?)
Your SMTP-Server ist qmail.
Try to telnet from your MS-WS to qmail to the SMTP Port 25.
(use QVT/Net and enable "local Echo" and "LF").
Try to send to connect to qmail and send a Mail.
Report what happens.
cheers.

Since I haven't been able to find the cause for our problem, I wanted
ask
once more on the list:
The script re-injects a message it gets via std-in to qmail-inject
qmail-inject -f $SENDER -- < msg
But it looks like the script is called multiple times, but by whom?
Is this done by qmail-smtpd ?
How often does qmail-smtdp queue the message when there are
multiple recipients either in CC: or TO: ??

Hi Erwin, Hi Brett,
I just switched the SSL-Option (sorry, I
forgot...), but the message still appears; now looking like
The connection to the server has failed. Account:
'qmail-tester', Server: '193.168.100.59', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL):
Yes, Socket Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E
Bret was right with his clues for I can not telnet
to that port, that means qmail refuses me to use the SMTP, that's right? (the
local mail-inject-test-procedure is ok, that's why I think so). I just try to
reconfigure rcpthosts and locals.
Another reason might be, that I'm first sending
SMTP (with "my server requires authorization) and check POP3 after that. I just
dived into the Mailing List and found people having problems if they check the
POP AFTER the SMTP. What do you think about that?

Did you do anything to set up qmail-smtpd? It doesn't get set up by itself; you
need to configure either inetd or tcpserver to listen for SMTP connections.

What you can try to do is telnet from the box that is running qmail but
telnet to 127.0.0.1 (localhost) on port 25 and see what happens. I had
this problem with mine, I could telnet locally via local host but could
not from a pop client.
Re-name (temporarly) any permit and deny rules, run qmail smtp under
inetd (to rule out tcpservers own permit and deny policies) and also
check your qmail directory where your rcpthosts and other related files
are (normally control). Make sure the names of the boxes you want to
talk to server is there. Also check the services file to make sure it
is correct.
I was using outlook to test qmail back when I was setting it up because
I didn't want to add an account to my netscape. I know I wasn't running
ssl so I couldn't figure out the error so I finally setup netscape
(added another user in addition to mine) and it told me the server
wasn't responding. Another thing that could be happening is make sure
sendmail or any other server is running other then qmail's.
Let me know what you find.
Take Care,

Since it was entirely my own fault, I can as well
stand up and clear up the mistake I made:
There was one parameter missing from the call to qmail-inject:
You have to supply $EXT2 on the command line:
qmail-inject -f "$SENDER" -- "$EXT2" < msg
then the script is called twice, but the recipient is supplied
on the command line and not taken from the TO: or CC: line.
Everything works fine, now. Thanks to everybody who supplied
useful tips and hints.

D-69469 Weinheim [EMAIL PROTECTED]
There is an easier solution!
If [EMAIL PROTECTED] wants all mail that goes to him to be copied to
another maildir as well as for him to get a copy to go to another maildir.
1)[EMAIL PROTECTED] looks in the joebloggs maildir on the mailserver
whilst checking mail ... correct?
2) Create an additional maildir [EMAIL PROTECTED]
3)Create the maildir eg [EMAIL PROTECTED] ..
4)Create the alias file for [EMAIL PROTECTED] to then point to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED]
5)Ask Joebloggs to collect mail at the new locations ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
In brief, the target address ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) now is split into 2
different location ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) which is the new location for the
original mail to be sent and ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) the newly created location
where he wants a copy to go to!
Sounds long winded and confusing but much better and there is the option of
growing the list of people who get a copy!

Well,
I didn't know if it will answer your question, but I use a script to
post "bulletins" into my users maildirs, and I do that simply creating
hard links from the "main" bulletin directory to the Maildirs of my users,
and it are working well :)

That doesn't cover my situation at all. This has nothing to do with
delivery addresses. I just want my user agent to copy individual
messages, selected by the user, from one maildir to another.

Did you have a question?
-Dave
Hi,
I installed qmail as described in Dave Sills LWQ from the tarball on a
SuSE Linux 6.4 machine.
After playing around quite a while qmail almost runs but I have one last
problem:
when qmail starts I still get the following message:
Starting qmail: svscan.
2 seconds later there comes the following message up repeatedly:
alert: cannot start: qmail-send is already running
alert: cannot start: qmail-send is already running
alert: cannot start: qmail-send is already running
qmail seems to run, there are 5 qmail processes alive.
What can I do to get rid of this message? Something is strange with this
message because there was definitely no qmail process running before (ps
-A|grep qmail).
Thanks for your help
Clemens

What does your startup script look like? My guess is that it has an '&' at the
end of it. If it does, take it out.

There's an easier solution!
In ~joeblogs/.qmail, specify two maildirs, e.g., ./Maildir and
./MailArchive.

This (from what the help tells me when I select it and press F1) seems to
imply that it will connect to some sort of SMTP service that will prompt
for a username/passwd. ie, not a vanilla smtp protocol.... BTW, is the
"Logon using secure password authentication" APOP or something else??

"Qmail admins: Qmail's current version is insecure by default. Most admins
know enough to follow the instructions for securing it before putting qmail into
service, however it usually drops ORBS test messages checking for UUCP pathing

network addressing indicator, this can only be charitably described as yet
another Qmail bug. Qmail is extremely network unfriendly and has been known to

For some odd reason... one of my qmail machines is
"blind" to mail going to the same domain! smtpd just
places them in the que and qmailsend doesn't see
them until I kill/restart qmailsend. After I restart,
it sends them and then becomes stupid again and
doesn't
send any more that are que'd up after the fact. It
does howeever see mail going to other "domains" and
sends it off right away.
Any ideas?

Yeah. Post the following:
1) output of "qmail-showctl" (unedited)
2) snippet of qmail-send logs when a message is injected to the
local domain and a remote domain (also unedited)
3) output of "ls -l /var/qmail/queue/lock/trigger"

Hi qmail gurus :-),
Thanks for helping, I got rid of all problems (till
now)! Thanks a lot. (Especially to Chris, Clemens, Erwin and Brett).

Hi. I'm using qmail-1.03 with openldap-1.2.11 and have applied
qmail-ldap patch (20000701). mail delivery is working fine, but when i
tried to configure pop3 i could not find checkpassword (just
checkpassword.o). The documentation says qmail-ldaplookup is similar to
checkpassword but i still can't figure how to use it.
I'm using tcpserver and it works with :
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup server_name
/bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir &
when i don't user ldap.
another question :
if the directory where mail should be deliver doesn't exist then it is
created based on the mailmessagestore attribute in the ldap db and then
the Maildir is created. which maildirmake is used for creating this
Maildir? this is because i also need to use courier-imap which comes
with it's own maildirmake.
thanks in advance

Hi,
I'm having a few problems setting up cyrus and qmail.
Qmail is currently being started with:
qmail-start '|preline -f /usr/local/cyrus/bin/deliver -
e -a $USER -- $USER' splogger qmail&
Delivery of mail to valid mailboxes works fine. But if
a message is sent that doesn't have a valid user, it
just gets dumped into the mail queue. (So, I assume
qmail doesn't recognize that cyrus gave it an error
message.)
I also had to relax permissions of the above deliver
program so it could be executed. I'm getting the below
error message in my logs.
Aug 14 07:20:50 relay2 deliver[32643]: checkdelivered:
Unable to open delivered db:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: No
such file or directory
I've seen reference to a "cyrus - qmail faq" and I'm
curious as to weather or not one still exists. (The
site I had a url for does't have the content any
more.)
Can anyone help me with this, or point me in the right
direction?
Thanks,
Bryce

Hi,
You can set a blanket limit using control/databytes. man qmail-smtpd.
OTOH, you can use tcpserver to set a DATABYTES environment variable to
set different limits based on the source IP address of the connection.
(The value of the DATABYTES environment variable, if set, will
override the value of control/databytes, allowing you to use
control/databytes as a default and DATABYTES env. var. for any
exceptions)

Updated Debian GNU/Linux (potato) packages for testing:
The var-qmail tree I announced on Mon, Jun 19, 2000 seems to be good.
I splitted the not yet released projects daemontools and ucspi-tcp, the
packages named so no longer contain any documentation. The man-pages are
available in daemontools-doc and ucspi-tcp-doc. Also daemontools no longer
provides a service directory or an init script. This work is done by
daemontools-run. qmail-run now depends on daemontools-run.
Beware, these debian-packages are unofficial, just for testing, please help
to get them approved by D.J. Bernstein.
o qmail_1.03-0.5_i386.deb
o dot-forward_0.71-0.2_i386.deb
o fastforward_0.51-0.3_i386.deb
o qmail-run_0.0.6_i386.deb
o daemontools_0.70-0.7_i386.deb
o daemontools-run_0.0.1_i386.deb
o daemontools-doc_0.70-1_i386.deb
o ucspi-tcp_0.88-0.5_i386.deb
o ucspi-tcp-doc_0.88-1_i386.deb
All these packages together set up qmail as mail-transfer-agent on Debian
potato.
Debian/potato users: Please test these packages and take a look if they
comply with http://cr.yp.to/qmail/dist.html and
http://cr.yp.to/qmail/var-qmail.html , they may go into woody later.

I have an smtproutes file that contains the following:
smtproutes:
chatfish.org:barbuda.chatfish.com
chatfish.net:barbuda.chatfish.com
I've also tried to use the ip address:
chatfish.org:[216.7.16.196]
chatfish.net:[216.7.16.196]
Both of these methods are being ignored by qmail.
Qmail is taking the MX record before it looks at
smtproutes.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks a lot.

Note the smtproutes entries you have are for "chatfish.org" and "chatfish.net"
_only_. If mail comes for anyone at "host.chatfish.org" or similar, MX
records will be looked up as usual.
Or perhaps you didn't restart qmail after making the changes?

Show us some logs and qmail-showctl. qmail-remote is known
to work as advertised wrt smtproutes.

That's a good point.

That's a bad point. Each invocation of qmail-remote looks at this
file so restarting qmail will not change a thing.

You don't need to. qmail-remote reads smtproutes for every invocation.

My bad. I can never recall offhand the exact configuration changes which
require a restart of qmail. In this case, it's unnecessary -- but it won't
hurt him, either. It's not like rebooting the machine :).
Thanks for the correction.

hello,
sorry for the OT, but I guess/hope the knowledge I'm looking for is not
completely unrelated to this particular list, and I'm not aware of any
Perl-email related mailing list.
I'm trying to validate an email address as per RFC822, and, even though
I've seen a lot of quick'n'dirty regexps to do so, I'd like to use
actually RFC compliant code, known to work.
Right now I'm perusing the Mail::* modules (docs and code), just
grabbed from CPAN, looking for validating code, and finding none
whatsoever. Has anyone experience with this modules?
As far as I can see, they are too high-level for what I'm looking for.
Or maybe I'm wrong?

Doesn't Mail::RFC822 have validation code? I thought it did.

silly me. read the faqs first! perlfaq9 tells me I cannot
validate
emails in such a way, and points to a possible (but imperfect) approach
by t.christiansen.
off I go, to see if that's useable.
sorry for everybody's time and bandwidth.

are you sure? I've been looking at Mail::Address and found nothing in
its code that hinted of ay validation. It looked like an 'address book'
mechanism, that built objects with a human-readable name and an address,
and provided a few functions on that. Not much more, and certainly not
any validation I could see.
as per `perldoc perlfaq9` there's no realiable way to tell a
functioning email address from a functioning diesel engine until you
actually send it.

OK. I didn't check if it explicitly had a function called "validate" but I
checked the source of both these packages and both are able to _parse_ such
an address.

You _can_ tell if it's well formed. But on the other hand, all these
addresses are valid:
%20 + [EMAIL PROTECTED] or alternatively "%20 + %20"@x42.com
"\@x42.com or alternatively "\"\\"@x42.com
at@at@[EMAIL PROTECTED] or alternatively "at@at@at"@x42.com
You can also do a MX check to see if there is a receiving party at all for
the domain mail.
What you cannot check is whether the receiving party likes the local part
(or accepts mail whatsoever, the MX may be misleading) or not.

You can do this with qtools. The example programs include an
autoresponder that adds a subject prefix. For more information, see

Actually, no. The output from one is automatically sent to the input of the
next as they execute each other. The "\"'s are to allow the commands to be
on multiple lines.

Exactly -- what if the 'relay server' accepted messages for delivery, and
then delivery failed. It would notify the mailing list server that those
messages failed (if you're lucky). Wouldn't one rather have one's own
mailing list server handle this work?
Definately sounds like a spammer's dream ;-)

Hello qmailers,
I am intermittantly getting this message and others like it in
/var/log/maillog
Aug 14 18:04:44 966290676.970269qmail qmail: delivery 143: deferral:
Sorry,_I_wasn't_ able_to_establish_an_SMTP_connection._(#4.4.1)
Everything was working fine when I had a Sendmail server as the primary
MX and it was just forwarding all mail to the qmail server. Now that the
Sendmail is gone and the qmail server is alone as the primary MX and I
am getting these messages every other time I try to send mail. The mail
just vanishes. no bounce or anything. It happens with internal or
external mail.
tcpserver setup is like:
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup

There is nothing wrong with this. All it means is that the remote
system couldn't accept the SMTP connection at that time. qmail simply
tries again later on.

Show us the log that shows that it's "every other time" please.

"Just vanishes"? Are you sure it's not still in the queue? What
does qmail-qread show you? Did you check to see whether there was a
later delivery attempt that succeeeded?
qmail is not known to have messages "just vanish". They are either
being delivered, bounced or they are still in your queue.
> tcpserver setup is like:
tcpserver is totally irrelevant to sending to remote servers.
Have a closer look at your logs files. They tell you what's going on.

I just implemented rblsmtpd using the MAPS DUL. I sent a message off to
Russ' testing bot and received the following reply:
======
Testing your DUL block. See http://www.crynwr.com/spam/ for more info
Could not connect to 216.243.128.132: Connection timed out
Attempting to run traceroute. If the traceroute fails persistently,
then it's likely that the ISP where it fails is subscribed to the BGP3
version of the RBL, and is blocking RBL'ed hosts at the IP level. You
should ask if that is indeed what they are doing. If so, then you do
not need to use DNS blocking of the RBL.
======
My question concerns the "Connection timed out" message. Does this mean
that it literally was a time out? Or will it give that message as well
if it receives the 553 from rblsmtpd? (I'm running it with -b) We are
not running the BGP version of DUL... And the attached traceroute
reaches us just fine.
Thanks,
Ben

Actually, Prof. Bernstein's rblsmtpd still works fine with RBL and DUL
as of today.
As far as I know, MAPS dropped TXT entries from only the RSS zone so
far. In fact, I am watching entries being blocked via rblsmtpd using
RBL and DUL at this moment on one of our incoming mail servers.

What exactly were the size-related zone problems? Does anyone know whether
Dan's rbldns would handle it better?

i have a few messages sitting in the qmail queue that will never get
delivered - for example because the recipients' addies are on
fully-unqualified hosts.
can i just delete those messages to save qmail the retries and to save me
the final "sorry wasn't able to deliver" mail to postmaster@ ? or do i
have to follow some special steps to do so?

I've just built and installed QMail 1.03 under a homebrew Linux running
2.0.38 and libc2.01. Even though it's an older kernel, I keep the
various networking packages updated. I got hit with some heavy relay
hacks last week and I've just learned about qmail's natural defense
against unauthorized relay.
The installation appears good -- qmail-lint reports no problems. I can
send messages from one internal system to any other internal system, and
mail to my domain users is received properly. Also, if I use "echo to:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] |/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject", a message is
delivered with no problems. However, when I try to use a standard UMA
like pine, or Netscape, I get the popular "sorry, that domain isn't in
my list of allowed rcpthosts" message.
I read the threads here and added entries to /etc/hosts.allow and
/etc/tcp.smtp as outlined. But, the errors still occur. Oh, and no
errors are sent to postmaster. Of course, I've restarted inetd and
qmail.
What am I missing?

Check out this web site it explains how to setup qmail for mail
relaying. Mail relaying is when a smtp server is asked to send mail to
another smtp server normally from a mua like pine, or netscape's mail,
etc. That is how an open relay'ing' (or spam) is performed. An smtp
client from an outside domain sends an e-mail to an smtp server for it
to deliver else where.
With the mail relaying setup correctly if a system doesn't know a client
it will not talk to it which means no mail is accepted to be sent.

As has been discussed recently on the qmail list, the RSS people have stopped
providing TXT records for the relays.mail-abuse.org zone, which breaks
rblsmtpd. It's been reported that they were having problems with the size of
the zone; I imagine that this means thatBIND was having problems with the size
of the zone.
As an experiment, I AXFRed a copy of the relays.mail-abuse.org zone, formatted
it for rbldns, and compiled it into a cdb with rbldns-data. I added a line that
said:
:127.0.0.2:553 Open relay problem - see http://www.mail-abuse.org/cgi-bin/nph-rss?$
which is all that's required for rbldns to return the appropriate A and TXT
records. The whole cdb is only 1,276,699 bytes, which hardly seems
unmanageable.
Does anyone feel like doing periodic transfers of the RSS zone, running a
little script to put it in the right format, and publishing it with rbldns as a
test? I may do it myself if I can scare up an extra IP address.

Dear all,
when two or more domains are set to local, how do I split say
info@localdoamin1 and info@localdomain2 to go to different accounts?

You don't. You make one of the domains a virtual domain.
Chris
Yes, well that is how I would have set it too, and it would be
nice if I hadn't inherited a system with a rather sizable amount
of users already installed, is there a way to acheive the
same thing using aliases or such?

Yep. Let's say your two domains are domain1.com and domain2.com. domain1.com
will be local and domain2.com will be virtual. In control/virtualdomains you
have:
domain2.com:alias-domain2
Let's say that the user name "bob" exists in both domain1.com and domain2.com,
and that you'd like to deliver the mail to different places. There are no other
conflicting names.
In ~alias/.qmail-domain2-bob you'd have:
&bob2
or wherever you'd like mail addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to go.
In ~alias/.qmail-domain2-default you'd have:
| forward "$DEFAULT"@domain1.com
That'll send all non-bob mail to a regular local user. This way domain2.com is
almost a local domain, with the exception of bob.

Hey all,
I ran into some problem today on
a couple of my own servers I went to implement vpopmail enable roaming users.
Well short story I ran into NFS file locking problems trying to share the
tcp.smtp.
Here is a patch for ucspi-tcp-0.88 This patch will
check mysql relay table first. and then it will check the cdb file. the cdb file
overrides all mysql returns. (Good for pop-3 to smtp
authenication.).
tcpserver can be started with new flag (-m)
like
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -m -v -x
/home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
If you are running vpopmail 4.8.7 and would like
the patch for roaming users to work off of database only please let me know. I
have the patch available.

hi all,
just a question similar to this split local domain addressing issue.
domain1.com.au and domain2.com.au are both locally delivered domains.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] is a functioning mailbox.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] is to go elsewhere.
in the ~sales/.qmail file i have put:
|/var/qmail/bin/condredirect [EMAIL PROTECTED] [ `echo
"$RECIPIENT" | tr A-Z a-z` = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ]
can anyone else think of a better of way of doing this? its the only way i
have found to do it so far.

To answer your second question yes you need an mx record for each
virtual domain. In the dns record of each domain you can put the MX
name of the box running qmail/vpopmail. What I have done on my box is
run several domains with qmail/vpopmail but in the MX entry for each
domain I put the name of the name of the box running qmail/vpopmail.
When the smtp server needs to deliver mail it looks up that domains MX
record then it will in order of preference starting at the lowest number
(normally 10 then 20, 30, etc what ever the numbering sequence is) and
tries the next highest and so on. The sending smtp server will not care
it is delivering mail for abcd.com to wxyz.com, just as long as the MX
for abcd.com says to use wxyz.com 's mail server. I hope that wasn't to
confusing if it was. To put it in a nutshell, use the mail server box
running the vpopmail/qmail for the various domains as the mx for each
domain. The mail servers will sort out what mail goes where once they
get it.
As for your other problem I had the same problem but only for local
delivered mail. I sent a message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and would get returned because it couldn't find the
that person BUT if a person outside of thisdomain.com would send an
e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] it would go through fine.
I was using a simular setup to you where I had my domain teoi.net as the
main domain and then the other virtual domains. I had problems with
pop3 mail retrieval and delivering mail from a local user to another
local user. What I did was recompile vpopmail with the following
settings making my domain a virtual domain along with the rest of them.
After I did that I was able to send mail locally and my pop3 problem
went away. These are the settings I used, you probably need to edit the
directories for your system, I am using OpenBSD 2.6 .
./configure --enable-roaming-users=y --enable-relay-clear-minutes=120
--enable-ucspi-dir=/usr/src/ucspi-tcp-0.84 --enable-logging=e
--enable-tcpserver-file=/var/qmail/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp
--enable-qmaildir=/var/qmail
--enable-tcprules-prog=/usr/local/bin/tcprules
After I recompiled and setup my domain as a virtual domain along with
the rest every worked fine....well I did have a problem with the roaming
user but that ended up being a file permission / ownership problem.
I hope this helps you out. I know I had quite a time with it till I
converted to completely virtual which works fine. All mail is in one
directory tree sorted automatically by domain.
Take Care,
Dale
i hope i am doing this right?
please excuse a newcomer to the linux/qmail scene
after 20 years with PCs/DOS/Win, i am now trying to help with something
completely new
system is a PC with RedHat ver 6.2
trying to install qmail, with LWQ in left hand and mouse in right hand
files are qmail-1.03,ucspi-tcp-0.88,daemontools-0.70
generally found the LWQ very hand-holding, but having got to the end (page 23)
cannot get qmail to run
on reboot, the start-up screens show:
starting qmail execvp - no such file or directory ???
what worries me is that the history page for daemontools show that some time
back execvp was replaced with pathexec, .........is this the problem?
also i am concerned that even though the 'qmail' startup script just starts, the
check of the PATH does not show /var/qmail/bin ??
if i try and start qmail manually, with /var/qmail/rc, i get some messages that
say thattalk abour CNAME not working ??
sooo many questions!
(i would have never got this far without LWQ, i found the HOWTO was too brief
for a newcomer)
if anyone can unravel the above it would be greatly appreciated

I found a combination of LWQ and this page that I will give you together
helped me setup my system. Both of these sites are very well written
and easy to follow. I can say one thing about one of your problems is
with CNAME . CNAME (if it is referring to one I am thinking of) is
conical name (not sure on the spelling of that but at 2am I am not
surprised :) ) in the dns (domain name service) record for a domain.
In other words it is an alias to another name. For example: you have
box named mailhub5 you could also have a cname (alias) of smtp or
pop3 pretty much any name you want.
The address for the other site is
www.flounder.net/qmail/qmail-howto.html
Hope this helps! If you have any further problems just post a message
and we'll give you a hand.

I would like to send an absent message but I am finding it difficult.
I have tried the following in .qmail

Problems are:
I don't get a copy of the message in my Maildir

I'd like to quote the message in the reply
I feel I'd rather use qmail-inject but am not sure of the syntax to acheive
equivalent results.
