hmmm, the "+domain-com:username:uid:gid:userhomedir:::" version works fine.
the "=domain-com-user:username:uid:gid:userhomedir:::" does not (equations
at the beginning of the line).
sorry if I posted my question not clear enough ;-)
my problem is that I want to deliver 5 different mailadresses belonging to
one virtual domain to 5 different mailboxes.
I ment this:
=domain-com-user1:username:uid:gid:user1homedir:::
=domain-com-user2:username:uid:gid:user2homedir:::
=domain-com-user3:username:uid:gid:user3homedir:::
=domain-com-user4:username:uid:gid:user4homedir:::
=domain-com-user5:username:uid:gid:user5homedir:::
the home dirs exist I do not get an error message bot the Mail is not
delivered.
What works perfectly (as I described in detail in my first mail) is the
delivery a la
+domain-com:username:uid:gid:user1homedir:::
but this way one user gets any mail for the complete domain, what is not
expected.
Next question: when I send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] the sender
does not get an undelivery message as he would if domain.com was not virtual
but local.
That's bad.
Can I collect any non-deliverable messages in one Box?

thanks anyway ;-)

Prashant,
I'd echo Brett's sentiment - whatever advice you get from this list
is free, so I think its readers don't appreciate message that hassle them.
Anyway, another approach, depending on your setup (as Brett says,
you're not helping by not telling us much about your setup), you may
wish to configure the Internet-visible (MX) machine to accept mail
for domain.com (i.e. put this in rcpthosts), but not attempt to deliver
it locally (i.e. ensure the domain is *not* in locals or virtualdomains).
Then have this MX machine use a private DNS which has MX entries
for your "Real" mail servers. Alternatively, you can use smtproutes
to point to *one* real mail server only.
A machine like this is basically an SMTP relay for
domain.com. I suspect Dave Sill's Life with qmail (see
the qmail web page) touches on this subject.
cheers,
Andrew.

Subject: RE: friends very urgent help required
OK I will reply but the reason noone else has ie largely because of the time
in most of the world at the moment, and the fact that you included virtually
NO configuration information (eg what is in virtualdomains, locals,
rcpthosts, sample LDAP entry, sample users/assign entry...all of these help
out somewhat).
BEST way of doing this as far as I can see (I have never used LDAP, only NIS
which IMHO is a little easier to understand and implement, albeit insecure
by default) is to not even have those system users on your main server. Have
aliases (either use .qmail-user files or fastforward) forward to
[EMAIL PROTECTED], and MAKE SURE that server.domain.com is NOT listed
in locals, and IS listed in rcpthosts (you need to receive for that domain
so you can relay it, but if it is in locals then you will get that error
described below where it says mailbox not found).
Also - qmail will probably do an MX lookup on server.domain.com to see where
to deliver mail to (depends how you've set qmail up). If it does, then you
will need an 'A' entry in your DNS to point to server.domain.com as the MX
record for server.domain.com. Otherwise just set up qmail to send using FQDN
(sorry, I can't remember how...It is in one of the FAQs or HOWTOs or docs on
www.qmail.org).
Good luck, please type slower next time, and if possible (I don't mean any
offense), a little more practise at english would help us all out to help
you.

Hi,
Just wonder if anybody had successfully run SMTP on port other than the
defined 25 ???
Is there a proxy for SMTP ????
Thanks
kayleigh
Running on anything other than port 25 is pretty silly considering that all
applications and all mail relays attempt to deliver to port 25 on every mail
server in the world...Internally, you could do it, but why?
If you need to proxy port 25 to some other port, try searching on freshmeat
for redir (what we use). We have one machine here which our router routes
all internet viewable IP addresses to (it has an internal IP address which
the router refers to, and the ethernet interface accepts packets for all the
IP addreses we use (running Linux). ie eth0 would be 10.0.0.2, eth0:1 would
be 99.99.99.1, eth0:2 would be 99.99.99.2, etc), and we can control what
ports on what IP addresses go where internally (so everything else is
virtually closed and secure). This also means that if we need to change a
machine's functionality or move a mail server to a different machine, we can
simply change an IP address on our port forwarding machine and its done - no
external DNS and TTL hell to live through... You COULD alternately try
ipmasqadm with ipchains but I haven't had any luck with port forwarding this
yet...

There are several reasons why this is done, usually amounting to "security
through obscurity". Sometimes an SMTP server on a non-standard port is run
as an open relay, so remote customers can forward outgoing mail through it.
Sometimes spam checking, size limits, or other policies are waived for an
odd-port SMTP server.

If implemented well, and smartly, they can work (as I have done)...took me
about three weeks, but the system is secure, efficient, low bandwidth and
user-friendly. For internal mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], the e-mail is
attempted to be sent locally. If not possible, it is sent to our main relay.
This in itself cuts down bandwidth. External mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] is
sent to our main relay, which then delivers the mail via NFS to a user as if
it was local. Save the extra Delivered-to and relay lines in the mail. Less
bandwidth, less confusion. The system is fairly complex in setup, but it is
modulised so if something goes wrong, it is easy to hunt it down...
Well I don't know if that helps anyone but it might encourage you that with
qmail (and a bit of thought ;> ) anything is possible...

Jim,
Hmm. It's not clear where your confusion lies. However, you may like
to set control/defaulthost (that's normally /var/qmail/control/defaulthost);
here's the section of the qmail-inject man page:
. defaulthost
. Default host name. Default: me, if that is supplied;
. otherwise the literal name defaulthost, which is
. probably not what you want. qmail-inject adds this
. name to any address without a host name. defaulthost
. need not be the current host's name. For example,
. you may prefer that outgoing mail show just your
. domain name.
PHP use's host+domainname. When sending mail from PHP I use something like
this.

Chuck Foster DID write such a patch 2.5 years ago. (If you want a version
that works with 1.03 and you cannot find any, ask me.)

Yes. He also put this comment into his own code: /* XXX: could bind s */

Hi Prashant
As said in my last e-mail, I haven't used LDAP before so I can't really help
you out there. The system we use is large and complex, and the documentation
just to help us understand it already totals 13 pretty intensive pages, not
including the prerequisite readings which is the NIS and NFS HOWTO's, and
also presuming some knowledge from the NET-3 HOWTO, the qmail FAQ, Life with
qmail... So our system is big and to even begin to explain how it works is
pretty complex. For your situation, unless you REALLY want to redesign your
whole mail strategy, then I would recommend either delivering mail 'locally'
to a folder which is actually an NFS share from the mailhost (ie in
assign/users or /etc/passwd, the home folder on mail.domain.com would be,
say, /nfs/user which is ACTUALLY stored on mailhost1.domain.com.) This
SHOULD work with LDAP. No guarantees though, I use NIS. If this is too
complex then otherwise use aliases (.qmail files or fastforward) as stated
previously.

hello friends
i am using qmail-ldap patch
i want to store incoming mails for [EMAIL PROTECTED] on more then one mail
host using mailhost attribute of qmail-ldap
exapmple : atteributes like
in following case host1 7 host is also running qmail
MailMessageStore
Mailhost
but its not working
for say "user1" have id "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" with
MailMessageStore : /home/user1/email/Maildir
Mailhost : Host1
and "USER2" have ID "[EMAIL PROTECTED] " with
MailMessageStore : /home/USER2/email/Maildir
Mailhost : host2
both these are virtual users and does`t have system account , they are
there in LDAP ,
have ~/control/ldapuid
~/control/ldapgid
having uid and gid of one system user that i have created just to
specify here (in ldapuid,ldapgid control file)
this user owns home directory of all the users who doent have system
account and just have LDAP account
with warmest regards
thanks a lot

Hello All,
i think i have a time Problem.
I send a mail to a user on the Mailservers.
When i connect to the Mailservers Pop3 it don't shows me my Mails. (stat 0 0)
After 2 or 3 hours i can download my mails via Pop3, when i telnet at this time
to the pop3 server and do a stat and a list after the login, the server moves
the mails from "new" to "cur" (no permission problem).
I did a strace and it dont't tell me anything wrong.....connection to the MySql
(auth.) and change to the Maildir
(/content/data/vpopmail/domains/dom.ain/jb/Maildir/new) and so on.
I use qmail 1.0.3 with vpopmail 4.8.9 on 3 SuSE 6.4 Servers (2Mailserver 1 NFSServer)

Hi,
seems as If my description did not get the point of my problem. Give me a
second try:
My /var/qmail/users/assign is this
+allesrabe-de:popuser:500:100:/var/qmail/popboxes/allesrabe-de/helmut:::
=haribeau:popuser:500:100:/var/qmail/popboxes/linuxlupe-de/haribeau:::

+wetterbestellung-de:popuser:500:100:/var/qmail/popboxes/wetterbestellung-de
/default:::
.
the first line delivers any Mail to @allesrabe.de into the Mailbox as
specified
the second and third line creats mail aliases for my local domain
(linuxlupe.de). This also works. the mails are delivered perfect in the
specified mailboxes.
the fourth line delivers any mail to @wetterbestellung.de into the specified
Mailbox.
so far so good.
What I now want to do is being able to create several virtual users for my
virtual domain allesrabe.de (as ist works yet for my local domain - see
second and third line in the config file above).
for this reason my /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains looks like this:
allesrabe.de:allesrabe-de
wetterbestellung.de:wetterbestellung-de
So I expected that when I change the first Line in my assign file from (as
above):
+allesrabe-de:popuser:500:100:/var/qmail/popboxes/allesrabe-de/helmut:::
to
=allesrabe-de-info:popuser:500:100:/var/qmail/popboxes/allesrabe-de/helmut::
:
only the mails adressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] should be delivered to helmut's
mailbox, korrekt?
But this is not the case. after inserting this line no mail to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] is delivered anywhere. No errormessages or undelivery
mails are send neither.
wildcard assignment works if I try this:
+allesrabe-de-inf*:popuser:500:100:/var/qmail/popboxes/allesrabe-de/helmut::
:
now [EMAIL PROTECTED] is delivered to helmuts box, as everything
inf******@allesrabe is.
a wildcard assignment as follows is _not_ delivered:

Clemens,
I think it must be .qmail files you're lacking - and that may
be a better solution for you to use. Anyway, with your existing
plan,
with a users/assign as follows,
+allesrabe-de-:usera:555:100:/home/usera:-::
=allesrabe-de-info:userb:666:100:/home/userb:::
[EMAIL PROTECTED] goes to /home/userb, where it will look for
delivery instructions, or failing that it'll use the default delivery
instructions.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] will go to /home/usera, where it
*needs* delivery instructions - i.e. if you have a Maildir there,
create a .qmail-default file to point to it (or just touch .qmail-default
if Maildir/ is your default delivery).
Alternatively to this, you could have a users/assign
+allesrabe-de-:usera:555:100:/home/usera:-::
and in /home/usera, have .qmail files corresponding to your
5 specified users, thus
.qmail-info
.qmail-user1
.qmail-user2
each of which can point to a (different if you like) Maildir
or whatever. With this approach bounces should be
generated for any user @allesrabe.de that isn't info,
user1 or user2. If you want to catch these deliveries
in a catch-all .qmail file, use .qmail-default, also in
/home/usera.
Other things to check: Ownership of Maildirs, home directories,
.qmail files. Also have you run qmail-newu after changing users/assign?
You mentioned that you were having problems with bounces but seeing no
log messages: Perhaps you're not logging qmail output. The simple way
would be in your startup, to change from (e.g.),
exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \
qmail-start ./Maildir/
to,
exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH" \
qmail-start ./Maildir/ splogger qmail
- and check that 'mail' is dealt with in /etc/syslog.conf somehow - that's
where you'll find the log.
...but read up on things like multilog for less disk-intensive logging
(daemontools package).
cheers,
Andrew.

Hi Andrew,
checking again and again the issues mentioned in your great and detailled

P.S. the problem is solved ;-)
Is there an easy way to get qmail to use square brackets for
the IP address in Received: headers?
E.g.
Received: from xxxxxxx [209.61.156.95] by xxxxxxxxx
instead of
Received: from xxxxxxx (209.61.156.95) by xxxxxxxxx

Depends on what you call easy.
Just edit received.c line 58 + 64, recompile, install.
But note, that you will probably become incompatible to some check scripts
ppl wrote/write.

Easy as in "does not require the sysadmin to install a different version of the
code" :-)
So, a postprocessor would be preferrable to recompiling the code (and also have
fewer potential compatibility issues with other qmail code)

Your queue is probably corrupt. qmail uses the inode information from
the filesystem to build the queue dir structure, so you can't simply
move the queue directory (or do anything that changes the inode
numbers).
Either fix the queue structure (look for a program to do this in
qmail.org) or rebuild it from scratch (you most likely will lose mails
in the queue).

Re-compiling qmail worked on a 2.2.6 -> 3.2 upgrade, but since I didn't
do it one of the steps during the build may have fixed it.

Put the domain(s) in the rcpthosts (or morercpthosts) of the MX 20
machine, but not in locals or virtualdomains. Simple as that.
It's like saying: accept for that domain but do not deliver it
locally.

Hello, I've been using qmail for a few
months now (with multiple domains) we have an exchange server (I didn't choose
it, i promis) which routes all outgoing mail via qmail.
In the log I've seen a few messages
refused from the destination host(on the internet) because the from line is
invalid. in fact the from line contains FROM: <> . Does anyone
know what this, what it means and why..?
Thanks in advance

An empty envelope sender is used for bounce messages. Hosts that refuse
them are broken.

What is the command line used to start up tcpserver for qmail-smtpd?
Does it use the tcp.smtp CDB file?

Did you replace
/usr/sbin/sendmail
or
/usr/lib/sendmail
with a link to
/var/qmail/bin/sendmail
? If not, do it.
The eMails should be in the sendmail queue still ... so you might want
to move your or sendmail to sendmail.old an do a
/usr/{sbin,lib}/sendmail.old -q
to get them delivered.

Could it be calling sendmail directly? Make sure you find all the
instances of sendmail on your filesystem and make them links to
/var/qmail/bin/sendmail.

I'd think this is a DNS timeout problem. The server tried to validate
if netcon.com.br is a valid sender domain (i.e. there exists an A or MX
records or both)
It cannot reach the DNS servers (as both of the are in the same subnet
it is most likely that if your line is filled up none of them will
respond) and get the answer, so it returns a temporary failure.
AFAIK a solution would be to distribute your DNS servers (nettopological (sp?))
location.
Thats the original intention in having two or three of them.

I get that every now and then. There is a dns outage on the place where
you were sending a message to and/or they tried to do an A record lookup
on your domain servers in which they either couldn't contact yours (if
they themselves have a dns outage that would be the case) or yours
didn't respond in time. The solution really if it is on your end, just
run another box with name serivice on it to answer other requests that
the first name server didn't get.

1) If it ran as its own daemon, it would require root privileges to
bind to port 25. When it is spawned by tcpserver, the amount of code
requiring root privileges is smaller, and therefore less of a security risk.
This is a security feature.
2) One could argue that daemons require much more care for cleaning
up memory use and buffer use, so that a) information isn't leaked between
two users and b) memory leaks don't impact the system. Note that the Apache
daemons are discarded over time to avoid these dangers. By spawning one
process per message, this is not an issue.
(One might argue that djb's code is small and tight enough to trust.
One might also argue that good design is still good design even if you trust
the coder).

Hello,
First a picture of my network arrangement:
I have a box called "earth" which does IP masquerading for my local
network. "Earth" also does my http, ftp, smtp (qmail), and pop3
(qmail) service. (I'd like to move the gateway functions to another
box, but haven't got a suitable one yet.)
I have another box called "kindling" which is my print server and the
repository of all my e-mail user functions. This box is also running
qmail. "Kindling" is on the local network and uses "earth" as a
gateway. I have just moved e-mail user functions here from "earth."
Everything seems to work except smtp and pop on "earth". qmail on
"kindling" logs an error that it could not connect to smtp service (on
"earth") when I try to send mail to "earth." But I can send mail
anyplace else. fetchmail simply hangs when trying to pop mail from
"earth", but succeeds in fetching from other servers. (I have to use
fetchmail because I don't see how I can do pop via ssh with the
alternative that's been recommended here.)
The nmap program reports that both services are available (on
area66-1.dsl.speakeasy.net).
"Kindling" and "earth" are defined as kindling.parts-unknown.org and
earth.parts-unknown.org in /etc/hosts. (Network Solutions hasn't
gotten this domain properly pointed yet.)
I doubt I've given you all the information you need. What else should
I be looking at and (presumably) telling you?

I trust the rest of you got a good chuckle of that particular piece of

As for the rest of my trouble, I'm hoping it was (stand by for another

I don't think you'll get many responses to this; some/many/most of the people
on this list are of the opinion that knowing how to apply a patch file to
a source tree is a prerequisite for being a mail administrator.
However, for a brief explanation...
A patchfile describes a set of changes to one or more files. Typically these
are text files (source code and/or documenation, etc). The utility 'patch'
can read these files and apply the changes to copies of the original files.
In this case, the patch file contains changes from the original qmail (no
capital 'q') source tree, and the version which supports LDAP or MySQL,
depending on what you're looking for. The way to use them is to download
the qmail sources, unpack the tarball, download the patch file, and apply
the patch to the now-modified qmail source tree. Then compile and install
the newly-built LDAP- or MySQL-capable qmail binaries on your system.
For more details, see `man patch` and any competent system administrator's
guide.

1) What documentation there is on this package is available from
www.nrg4u.com.
2) The proper place to discuss this package is the qmail-ldap
list. Instructions for subscribing are provided on www.nrg4u.com.
3) "Note: This is NOT point-and-click-and-then-it-works ware! You
should have fairly good prior knowledge of qmail and LDAP."
>How do install a file .patch?
See "man patch". But the fact that you ask that question leads me to
believe you're not ready for qmail-ldap.
-Dave
Dear List-members,
For those of you who are interested - particularly those who run large
qmail installations, possibly multiple-domain, I've been working on a
system to hash users' directories automatically. It does not attempt
to offer authentication (this would be a separate design decision:
cdb / Oracle / Radius etc.). It is designed to look after a collection
of users mail directories in a scalable manner, enabling delivery
and collection of mail to a hashed directory structure.
The hashed directory structure is designed on the basis of using
shared back-end storage for multiple front-end qmail boxes: these
back-ends would typically use NFS to reach the back end(s) - e.g.
using Network Appliance machines, or Quantum SnapServers.
Multiple back-ends and/or multiple front-ends are possible.
The package comes with various utilities to add users and
aliases. I've tried to keep it as lightweight as possible (to be fast
and secure).
It's designed to be used with a separate authentication system -
e.g. from a cdb file or using a database. Thus to add a user you
will also have to ensure they are added to the authentication system
chosen.
This is not a beginners package - you should have some appreciation
of the problems of running larger qmail systems before attempting
to use this. It's alpha-release software: Take all relevant precautions.
Anyway, if you're interested, take a look,
http://www.tic.ch/e-image/hashing/qmail-hashing21Aug00.tar.gz
I'm very keen to receive any feedback - bug-reports, feature-requests,
comments, what-does-that-means etc....
There is one problem/bug I'm distinctly concerned about in this package;
all thoughts particularly welcome: The delivery mechanism used by the
package calls qmail-local (to avoid re-inventing the wheel). It can
therefore use .qmail files (these do work). Unfortunately if you have
two .qmail files pointing at each other (user1's .qmail file says
&user2; user2's .qmail file says &user1), you end up with a mail loop.
I also can't think of a snazzy name for it... any suggestions?
cheers,
Andrew Richards.
PS: I'm on holiday for a week until 30th August, so I won't be replying
to any mail until
then.

If you previously installed qmail from sources, `rm -rf /var/qmail` will do
most, but not all, of it. If you installed from some other form of package,
follow its directions for uninstallation.

You shouldn't have to remove it completely to patch the source code.
Just a get a copy of the source code and apply the patch to it. Once
the patch is applied you can compile qmail and it will replace your
previous binaries with the new ones.
If you still want to remove it and completely re-install that depends on
how it was installed.
If you are using a linux system that has RPM you can type as root rpm -e
'package name' and it should remove it. If you didn't use RPM all the
files for qmail should be in /var/qmail (that is a default location).
Take Care,

I would:
1) Select only patches that I have a proven or mandated need for. For
example, I haven't seen DNS problems, so I'd skip that one.
2) For the remaining patches, I'd construct a matrix showing which
patches modified which files.
3) If any files are modified by more than one patch, I'd read the
patch files to see where the modifications are being made.
4) If more than one patch modifies the same original qmail code, I'd
strongly consider dropping one of the patches or finding a
competent programmer to merge them. This could be tricky and/or a
lot of work.
5) Use "patch" to install non-conflicting patches.
6) Manually install conflicting and failed patches.
7) Build qmail per INSTALL and patch-specific instructions.
8) Test, test, test.
9) Test some more, but still expect the unexpected.
-Dave
Also double-check with the appropriate patch author (especially if its a
larger patch, like LDAP) to see which configurations he/she has tested it
with.

I'm having an issue which I believe is tcpserver; I've searched the archives
and haven't found anything.
I have qmail up and running under tcpserver, and using a client like Outlook
I am able to both send mail and recieve mail (using pop3 protocol).
However, I have a network monitoring tool (What's Up Gold) which can be
configured to send email messages. When I specify my qmail server as the
SMTP server, and attempt to test, I get immediate failure.
The fact that it fails immediately without logging any information into my
mail log at all pointed me to tcpserver and not qmail as the culprit. I did
a tail -f on the /var/qmail/log/qmail-smtp/current log during a couple
tests: I sent a normal email message through outlook and then tested the
monitoring tool's email configuration. The first email went through
successfully, while the second test of the configuration failed (as
expected). The only difference in the current log was the return code that
tcpserver output: for the first generic email test, I got a return code of
0, whereas for the second test of the monitoring tool, I got a return of
256. Both the email and the monitoring tool email originated from the same
machine.
Has anyone had this issue, with qmail interacting differently with an
application other than a mail client? I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks
Hey John,
is your mail client and What's Up Gold on the same machine?
If not, your tcpserver might not be open to relaying from the What's
Up Gold machine. If they are both on the same machine and the email
client works, then I'm going to guess that What's Up Gold tries
to send email with lines or blank lines that are not terminated
with <carriage return><line feed> which qmail dumps off for whatever
reason. I had some cgi scripts that just did a carriage return
after each line while building the header of the email message and
they resulted in a status=256 from tcpserver when trying to send.
Fortunately they were perl so I just edited them and fixed the
problem, you might not have such luck with What's Up Gold. You
might be able to request a fix for that from IPSwitch though if
that is the problem because the <cr><lf> is a reasonable request.
Any chance you have some type of packet sniffer to watch what it's
sending?
Good luck,
Dave

I don't know what "buzon" means, and I can't tell whether you're
asking whether delivery to mailboxes in the user's home directory is
better than mailboxes in a spool directory, or whether mailbox format
is better than maildir format. From what you've said, I'd recommend
$HOME/Maildir delivery.
>Is ./Mailbox very speed or no?
The performance of a mailbox depends upon what software is modifying
it the types of operations the user is performing. For a POP server
under qmail, your best bet is probably qmail-pop3d, which *requires*
maildir mailboxes.

That's a good reason not to use a central mail spool like
/var/spool/mail. If you use $HOME/Maildir, you can distribute the
users across as many directories as you need to keep the numbers down.

qmail works as well with mailboxes as any other MTA.

If you can, try migrating the virtual domain to
work with vchkpw. You can then use qmailadmin (inter7.com for both) to
administer the accounts and the mailing lists. If you decide to do this, please

On the box that we have here, every six hours a cron script goes into the
send log directory and grabs all the non-current logs. It then concatenates
them into on and sends them through a couple of components of qmailanalog.
We have a couple specific accounts that need to be kept track of so the
translated log messages relating to them get a "To:" line added to the top
with an address and are sent through inject to the people who need them. The
rest are sent to me so I can track problems. Then the concatanated logs are
gzipped and dumped into a directory that, every so often, gets put onto a
colorado tape and stashed away for records.

I had this same problem a couple weeks ago and ended up redoing the box,
running through qmail exactly. A few things to make sure you did:
1. The text editor you were using to create the scripts may be creating
dos-compatible text files. I hate to recommend this to a self-proclaimed
newbie, but try using vi/vim to create the files. Also, make sure that the
files are EXACTLY the same as they show in LWQ.
2. There are certain permissions that need to be set on some of the files
and directories for it to work properly. Most of these relate to the
supervise functions. Try recreating these files/directories and detailed in
LWQ.
3. It may just save you time to simply telnet into the box and copy and
paste from LWQ to the telnet session, in order to keep human error. Try
cutting and pasting all commands into the telnet window to run them. For
scripts, run `vi scriptname`, press 'i', paste the scripts contents, press
'Esc : w q Enter'. This will paste in the script exactly as worded in LWQ
but still keep the proper Unix End-of-Line characters.

I'm tring to make a internal qmail server route through a gateway
running sendmail. I've added :[192.168.1.1] to
/var/qmail/control/smtproutes which is the inside ip address of the
gateway running sendmail.
When I send mail to the qmail server, I get the following error,
deferral: Connected_to_192.168.1.1_but_connection_died._(#4.4.2)/
Mail from the Internet is routed to the qmail server correctly and I can
send mail from smtp client on the network through the gateway.
I'm not sure what to look for. I don't see any info in the logs of the
gateway.

Hmm. Not too long a go, we were getting a lot of spam

Yes, well, in my experience the cons of blocking null senders far
outweigh the pros. The vast majority of spam is sent with forged
addresses, or take-your-pick blasted free email provider addresses.
I've been trying to convice once particular NT ISP here in Oregon of
this fact for nearly three years.
How they can allow their users to send lots of mail--to such places as
AOL, any network for that matter that has external mail gateways that
forward to internal hosts--and when it bounces NOT know about it is
beyond me. I think it must just be ignorance of how SMTP works.

I did not know that Qmail had some DoS attacks listed under it's
security belt. I saw some IDS signatures that indicated that
DoS attacks were being made against the Qmail server using long strings
of Qmail commands. Currently, Qmail does a good job at buffer overflow type
attacks. Are there any plans to protect Qmail server from DoS attacks too?

It's not possible to offer services to all comers without also
allowing some of them to deny services to others. That said, it's a
lot easier with the new daemontools to portably restrict how much
services one user can hog.

I understand why qmail rejects messages containing a bare LF.
My question is, why does it give SMTP result code 451 (indicating
temporary failure) instead of a code to indicate permanent failure?
Sending that same message will fail every time, will it not?
I am just curious about the rationale.
Thanks!

I've often wondered about this myself. The message in question, containing as
it does a bare linefeed, can *never* be accepted. So why suggest to the sending
host with a 451 code that it might have better luck if it tried to send the
exact same message again later?

I've successfully gotten qmail working on a test bed, (RedHat 6.2 for
Intel), and I've also installed, an IMAP server (Courier).and gotten
it to work.
But it's occurred to me to ask, what IMAP servers are the members of
this group using?
A requirement is that the IMAP allow for hierarchical folders (i.e.
folders within folders). That leaves out the UW IMAP server. In fact,
since I only got it working today and have yet to complete testing, I
haven't established that Courier meets that requirement.

i don't know about relaydomains and relayclients, but the
qmail-control man page mentions that the rcpthosts file is described
in the qmail-smtpd man page.
Dear All qmail Gurus,
I got this error in my qmail outgoing log. (I'm using qmail 1.03 on Redhat
6.2)
delivery XXXX: failure: Seems_not_to_be_a_TNEF_file / ...... / ........
and sometime
delivery XXXX: success: Seems_not_to_be_a_TNEF_file / ...... / ........
What is the TNEF file ? Is it some format from ms outlook ? (sorry for my
stupid)
What should I do ?
THX.
Joomy.
Hi,
Is there a way of freezing the queue and deferring messages for lkater
delivery???
Many thank
Tonino

Hello,
I must be dim. How can I make qmail-inject not rewrite my From
headers? Even when I call
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject -f "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
or
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject [EMAIL PROTECTED]
the hostname is rewritten with my server's FQDN...
I'm writing directly to qmail-inject via PHP's fopen() and fput()
functions, which work very nicely for my purposes, if I can get over
this hurdle.
The qmail-inject man page indicates that the -f flag overrides Return-
Path, and From, if they are supplied. It also states that I can set
QMAILHOST to accomplish the same thing... forgive me if this is
an extra-stupid question, but I've been RTFM and I still have no
idea what the syntax or method would be to do this.
Here is the PHP code from my test:
$to = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
$email = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
$host = "margecares.com";
$subject = "host piped email message";
$message = "here is the message body\n$email";
$fp = popen('/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject [EMAIL PROTECTED]',
"w");
fputs($fp,"To: $to\n");
fputs($fp,"QMAILHOST: $host\n");
fputs($fp,"From: $email\n");
fputs($fp,"Subject: $subject\n\n");
fputs($fp,$message);
fputs($fp,"\n");
pclose($fp);
print("email pipe sent with host info");
This does not work - margecares.com is replaced with
samurai.dynamisys-llc.com.
Any examples or suggestions appreciated.

I use command to test qmail :
echo to:user1|/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject
but it report such error:
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject: to:user1: command not found
but I can send and reecive email from my pop3.
What wrong?

Maybe it's a good idea to write
echo to: user1 | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject
(Take care of the space in the line)
