I want my users not to be able to send mail through my server and set
their "From:" header to whatever they want.
Is there any simple way to restrict relaying to users that authenticate
themselves using the "From:" header?
Another way might be to change "From:" header at the server, respectively
to the username that authenticated.
Any ideas are welcome...
Thanks,
G.Stathakopoulos

qmail first, so tcpserver won't accept commands for qmail while it is not
running...makes sense in a way :>

The sendmail wrapper emulates sendmail. As a result, testing it as
you would qmail-inject is not useful.
You don't seem to know how to use sendmail. This makes testing it
harder.
You have two options: either learn sendmail, or use a program which
calls sendmail like /bin/mail or pine. If you can send from either of those
MUAs (assuming Pine isn't configured to send via SMTP), then the sendmail
wrapper works.
But, since you seem pretty bent on this, you can try this syntax:
% /usr/lib/sendmail [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] <hit enter>
Subject: Test
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
This is the text. When I'm done typing text, I'll enter Control-D on a line
all by itself, since Control-D is the Unix EOF character.
^D
%
Note that you aren't prompted for Subject, From and To; you type
them all yourself.

I admit to not being familiar with sendmail in the least. If I do appear
obstinate in just finding out how to do it without actually taking time to
really get into the depth of things, I do apologize, but this is part of
something that was given to me with a tight deadline and instructions not to
ask back how to do it. So I am rather feeling like my back is to the wall on
this one :)
I was under the impression that being an emulator for sendmail, it would
take in input as we would give to sendmail and convert it to qmail input and
pass to qmail-inject (in this case). And my problem with the wrapper right
now is that when I call the mail() function in php (which calls sendmail) it
just doesn't seem to deliver the goods. I would like to find out what the
problems may be based on the symptoms that I can find so far...

This works, both on my test machine running qmail and a machines running
sendmail. Previously I didn't know how to end the message with Ctrl-D, hence
I could not properly send the message :) Now we've established that sendmail
does work, but php's mail() function can't seem to call it properly. Does
anybody have any idea if there's any changes I need to make to get the
function to work with qmail? or at least how I can troubleshoot this...
Thanks Greg, at least I'm moving somewhere with this :)

Does the php wrapper offer a return code? Does the wrapper check the exit
code when it calls sendmail? That would be a good place to start as many
wrappers blithly assume that the call cannot fail - it of course can.

It returns a BOOL.

Hi guys,
I just managed to get my complete DMZ including
firewall running, every ping and connection is working. Now I am simulating SMTP
and POP3 from the local network to the DMZ (where my qmail-server is) over the
firewall (ipchains running and configured on RedHat 6.2).
Before the firewall setup I had a cross link
between my WIN and the qmail server; it took me incredibly 0.5 seconds for
authorization and something like 5 seconds to receive 7 MB email, that's quite
cool compared to a 64k line :-)
But now the authorization takes more than 60
seconds, I am getting this dumb Outlook Express-Message
"Your Server has not responded for 60
Seconds..."
<STOP>
<WAIT>
After clicking "WAIT", qmail slowly starts up to
accept messages and doing POP3. But that's a big loss of performance. Is that a
qmail-problem (configuration)? I don't hope so.

This sounds like a DNS problem. Try running tcpserver with the -H option, and
maybe even the -R an -l options. See the tcpserver documentation for more
information.
Chris
Hello,
I had the same problem. The delay was produced because the pop3 authentification was using identd throught the port 113 and that port wasn't open in the firewall rules. You either can open that port in your firewall (betwwen you DMZ and internal net shouldn't be a security issue) or disable the use of identd in the tcpserver's call to pop3.
Hope it helps.

Hi,
I am using qmail with virtual users.
Now I have two questions:
1. what is the best way to set a quota on the boxes? I would appreciate
it if there was a "centralized" way so that I would not be forced to put
a .quata file in any mailbox.
2. how can I set a maximum limit for incomming mails?
thanks

Use your system's per-user filesystem quotas, and store mail in the user's
home directories instead of /var/spool/mail. qmail in a default install will
use Maildirs in user home directories.
> 2. how can I set a maximum limit for incomming mails?
/var/qmail/control/databytes -- read `man qmail-smtpd`.

I could be wrong but doesn't qmail use mailbox's in a default install?

no, I simply set it up as Paul gregg described it in his howto.
How can I solve the problem then?
Everything works fine, so I would not like to change to a complete
different package
Thanks

As far as I know it uses Maildir format.
If you're using virtual users it becomes even more difficult to
implement mail quota. The virtual users are in one system user account.
So you're not able to use filesystem quota.
You could use maildrop+vpopmail.
Any other suggestions welcome and needed...

Bruce Guenter's vmailmgr package has recently added quota support. I don't
personally use it, though, so I'm no expert.

In a default install you choose which of the files in /var/qmail/boot
you install as /var/qmail/rc. Alas, the default is in your head :)

is there a way to customize the messages qmail sends? For emample to add

I think of messages like this:
*******************************************************
Hi. This is the qmail-send program at hiob.linuxlupe.de.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following

This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

Just recompile qmail (edit the *.c files in the tar.gz distribution).

Yes. Run another copy of qmail-smtpd on an arbitrarily chosen high port.
Also, you might want to use a smarter relay control mechanism than opening up
an entire /16 for relaying; you could easily get hit that way. Perhaps an
SMTP-after-POP solution, like Bruce Guenter's relay-ctrl package.

How is this done? I take it there is a switch for it...?

*Everybody* says that =) But I am using IMAP, and as far as I know AT&T
has the entire 12. class A... unless there are some major spammers at
AT&T, I should be okay...
I know that sounds really dumb. Has anybody got a better idea? I'm open.
If I knew the exact address ranges of above person's dialup I would be
able to narrow it down significantly, but I have no real way of
determining this - and AT&T is unlikely to be very cooperative, given
their decision to close all internal to external SMTP traffic.

Run qmail-smtpd from tcpserver, and specify a different port number in the
port argument.

There are lots of spammers on all dialup services; I get enough from AT&T
customers to know. This is probably why they've blocked SMTP from their
customers out to the rest of the net.

Use an SMTP-after-POP method; Bruce Guenter's relay-ctrl package is excellent
for this. Basically, you make the user do a POP3 check before trying to
send mail; after a successful authentication with POP3, that IP address is
allowed to relay through your SMTP daemon for (default) 15 minutes.
Have a look at http://www.em.ca/~bruceg/relay-ctrl/ IIRC.

Yes but to do that would need a port forwarding package. On a linux box
you would use the ipchains type firewalling program. On a *bsd box you
would use IPNAT/IPFILTER since I don't anything about the linux
alternative I can only speak about *bsd systems. NAT is network address
translation. You can have an address from the world come in on a
certain port and be redirected to another port on your box. So lets say
you want port 1090 (for example) you would in simple terms tell the NAT
(which part of IPFILTER 'the firewall portion') program that any request
for port 1090 is to be directed to port 25 . This is completely
possible and viable. Other examples of why you would want to do this is
enhanced security. You can run your web server etc on a non broadcast
numbers like 192.168.x.x on a standard port but configure NAT/IPF with
the internet broadcast address and port. An incoming connection from
the world would come in on 206.x.x.x port 80 and would be redirected to
192.168.x.x port 80 or whatever port or ip you use.
I hope this explains this a little.

That is an interesting idea, never thought of that. I was thinking when
I replied that a port forwarding setup would work as well plus it could
add a bit a security if there isn't already.
I know IPFILTER bundled with most *bsd os's is very well suited for this
and is fairly easy to setup as complicated as it sounds.

If you are using tcpserver then you just specify the port on the command
line that loads the smtp daemon. To use anything else would be a little
more time consuming.

EOF on Unix systems is ctrl-D. The "." to end is an SMTP-ism, which makes
no sense with the sendmail wrapper, as it isn't speaking SMTP. Yes, we know
the real sendmail does it, but that doesn't mean it isn't a broken design.

A while back there was talk about a good filesystem for linux (next to
ext2fs). Anybody remebers how this is called, and does anybody use it with
satisfaction? I have looked through the archives, but I'm just not able to
fill in the right search terms to find the answer...
Franky
The ONLY good filesystem for linux is ext2fs. There are others available.
You could even use umsdos if you like. My experiences with it weren't great,
but whatever the case I suggest you use ext2fs. Most stable, most used (95%
of linux boxes use it). You won't find much support for much else, and many
programs won't work properly with other fs'.

The discussion was probably about one or the other of ReiserFS and ext3.
ext3 is beta-quality and is available in current 2.4.0-test kernels.
ReiserFS is available as a patch to 2.2.x and 2.4.0-test kernels.

it's called reiserfs (www.devlinux.com/namesys/) . It's a journaled
filesystem, just like ext3.
If you want to run qmail on a reiser filesystem I suggest you download this
patch:
www.ornl.gov/its/archives/mailing-lists/2000/07/msg00841.html
I've been using reiserfs during the last 2 months and never got a crash
yet...
I've never tried ext3...

Wasn't there a problem with qmail and reiserfs awhile back? Seems to me
qmail had to be slightly modified due to some file locking issues or
something... I must've deleted the thread on it though.

I think that you're referring to either the Reiser Journaling FS, ext3 or
the LVM. Reiser and ext3 are supposed to be much more efficient than ext2,
reiser being completely new and ext3 being the next version of ext. The LVM
is basically Partition Magic for Linux. It was incorporated in the 2.3 line
of development but also requires the LVM-utils package. The LVM deals mostly
with partitions and the differences would not be seen by the normal
programs. You create the volume groups, then the LVM logical drives, then
the filesystems. The LVM basically has all the support that it needs. Reiser
and ext3 don't show in the 2.4 kernel so I'm assuming SuSE wrote the
kernel-level support themselves. The utilities for Reiser are standard and
included with SuSE. I haven't seen anyone using ext3, although I heard that
SuSE has the support, so I don't know much about that. If you want to play
with it some more, pick up SuSE 6.4.
Hope that answers your question.

Please search the ReiserFS mailing list to get testimonials. Folks there
have changed some qmail internals (specifically the queueing mechanism, I
think) to work more efficiently and/or without error with ReiserFS.
I wouldn't trust it one bit.

Hi, Franky:
You might be thinking of ReiserFS, a journaling filesystem that is
crash-tolerant. There is also the ext3fs project - ext3fs will also be
journaling, but it is still in development, AFAIK.
Anyway, lots of people have had great success with ReiserFS. Give it a
try.

Hello.
When qmail tries to delivery to some of the users, it get the error:

I use Maildir's.

I think there is some dotfiles with x bit set. Try some like this:
find / <or anywhere users mailboxes are> -name ".qmail*" -exec chmod a-x
\{} \;
Is this all right?

That leads to a question that I was about to ask anyway. Is there anything
out there for qmail that offers SMTP-after-IMAP authentication and relay
control? The email system that I am putting together is going to be
offering IMAP and SMTP service to arbitrary users across the Internet, and
could really use something like this.

If you're using PAM-enabled IMAP daemon, you may try my
PAM-based solution (basically get pam_exec module from
www.qmail.org and call a IP-storing script through it from both
/etc/pam.d/pop3 and /etc/pam.d/imap). For some specific IMAP
daemons, I believe there are patches for smtp-after-imap available
somewhere.

You could probably modify Bruce Guenter's relay-ctrl to do this, if you can
cause the execution of a script after a successful IMAP authentication.
See previous email in this list for a pointer to his website.

There are also some nice SMTP-Auth patches on the qmail page. Don't use
IMAP, but do use
the patch at http://members.elysium.pl/brush/qmail-smtpd-auth/ instead of
POP before
SMTP. Works great for us.

Found it, and according to his README, relay-ctrl will provide effective
SMTP-after-IMAP service when used with Courier IMAP, apparently since
Courier uses checkpassword for authentication. Cool deal.

While connected to their smtp server the connection was dropped for some
reason (could be anything, missed packet between you and them, OS
problem with the network card driver or the physical connection) and
wasn't able to acknowledge getting the message.
If this happens every now and then I wouldn't worry about it could have
been any of the above problems on their end. If it happens very often I
would check the packet loss between you and their server..they could be
dropping packets between the two systems.

Read the man page for qmail-start.
The first argument it takes is the default delivery mode.
You want something like 'qmail-start "|preline maildrop" etc,etc,etc'

in your .qmail? I would only start maildrop for user who need it.

I've installed qmail-1.03 with vpopmail-4.8.9 and ucspi-tcp-0.88. All
seems to working well - mail for lessonlink.com is received and
delivered to the appropriate mailboxes. However, users internal to our
network are not able to send mail through the qmail machine.
We are running a private LAN (192.168.x.x) internally, with our qmail
machine (RedHat 6.2) acting as a firewall/mail handler/local web server.
I attempted to follow the advice in the second part of FAQ 5.4 - I've
got a /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp file containing:
127.0.0.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
192.168.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
4.19.67.: allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
where 4.19.67 is the net part of our external subnet.
I ran "tcprules /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb /etc/tcp.smtp.tmp
< /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp" and my inetd.conf contains a line with
smtp stream tcp nowait qmaild /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env tcp-env
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd -s /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb
Just to be sure, I sent a "kill -HUP" to qmail-smtpd.
Now I can telnet into port 25 of the qmail machine (mx.lessonlink.com),
and my session goes something like this:
220 lessonlink.com ESMTP
helo me
250 lessonlink.com
mail from: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
250 ok
rcpt to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1)
The IP address of my machine is 192.168.0.5. My understanding of the
FAQ is that I should be able to send this message. What have I likely
overlooked?

inetd doesn't know beans about tcprules-compiled cdb files. I don't use inetd,
so I can't tell you how to make it aware of environment variables, but it's not
with cdb files created by tcprules. And it sure isn't done by providing the -s
option to qmail-smtpd (there's no such thing as -s).
Read the rest of FAQ 5.4, where it tells you how to make this work with inetd.
Or better yet, use tcpserver instead, which will understand your rules cdb.
> Just to be sure, I sent a "kill -HUP" to qmail-smtpd.
That doesn't do anything. Unless someone is actually connected to you, there
won't even be a qmail-smtpd process to HUP, and qmail-smtpd doesn't do anything
with a HUP (anything that's defined, anyway).

You have overlooked much of FAQ 5.4, in particular the part that answers this
question.

Hi,
I've got a rather unique (I believe) setup of qmail here. It uses LDAP to obtain all
the user information plus I've got Amavis (http://www.amavis.org) installed to scan
for viruses in email attachments.
Recently, some weird stuff has been happening. All of a sudden, mail to certain users
gets dropped (i.e. > /dev/null). It simply vanishes. No bounce, nothing. But other
users are unaffected. To fix this situation I have to restart qmail.
The thing that bothers me is the fact that the mail simply vanishes without a trace.
At least if it bounced, I could get some sort of error message. (Plus forward the
email to the users)
I've also thought about the fact that maybe qmail is losing it's connection to LDAP,
since the LDAP server is on a different subnet. But if this was the case, wouldn't the
mail bounce?
I'm also experiencing stalled email uploads when sending large attachments. If I try
to send an email with a large attachment, it gets to about 4% and simply stops. All I
can do then is kill netscape becuase it keeps trying to upload that attachment. I've
searched the list for slow attachments and found something regarding $DATABYTES, and
setting /var/qmail/control/databytes, but these don't seem to help.
I'm stumpped here. Can anyone give me any clues?
Thanks in advance,
Daniel Ceregatti

This line shows that it did more than just a delivery to the local user.
Is there a .qmail file for this user and if so, what are its contents?

OK! Made some progress! Turns out the users that stop receiving email all have no
.qmail file in their dir! It looks like it starts to crap out if it loses connectivity
to ldap then it doesn't know what to do with the mail since there's no .qmail file.
Well, 1 problem down, 1 to go!
Thanks

Ok, so ldap lookup is failing.... user doesn't exist..
what are the contents of /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-default?
qmail delivered the message to something and did it successfully.

Yes, it was delivered to the Mailbox file in their directory. Thing is, this is a
spool type file, mails are concatenated. Do you know a way to make this available to
the user without parsing it and placing it into their regular directory? I tried
simply placing the file in that directory but imapd doesn't seem to like it.

Hi everybody,
Two days ago I started getting unable_to_chdir_to_maildir
messages in my logs.
The server has been running for quite a while now, and I
have not touched qmail or vpopmail in almost 70 days.
The messages with these errors is filling up the mailqueue,
and I have no idea what caused this!
I have 7 domains on this server, but only one of them
gives these errors.
The hostname of the server is brokermail.co.za, and it
is this domain which gets these errors, the other domains
work fine!
What could have caused this problem to suddenly appear ?
I am pretty sure nobody else in the office touched this machine.
I have qmail-1.03+vpopmail-3.4.9+sqwebmail-0.28, and I use
tcpserver.
I temporarily bypassed this problem by creating system accounts
with maildirs for the users under brokermail.co.za, this works
fine for the moment

What are the permissions on the target /Maildir/ ?
Make sure it is owned by the user and the permissions are 700.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply,
The domains are all under /home/vpopmail/
The permissions for this spesific domain
(and the maildirs under it) is 700, same as
the other domains, with owner and group vpopmail.
Any other ideas as to what might be wrong ?

Dewald

TLS and SMTP start by doing a cleartext negotiation and switching to an
encrypted session, whatever talks to qmail-smtpd will only use TLS if can
and if it wants to, otherwise it operates in the clear.

You must specify the servers you want to talk securely to, be default
qmail-remote sends mail in the clear as well.

Yes, ofcourse, RFC's are always informative. Read the information at the
top of the TLS patch as well.

Hi all.
I'm running qmail on a linux debian 2.2 server with 30 smtp-pop3 users on a
lan, every user has an adress on the local network but only one valid e-mail
adress on the internet, i would like that if an user send an e-mail to a user
on the internet qmail sobstite the "From" header with the e-mail adress valid
on the internet.
How can i do?
I know that this is possible on sendmail and i think that would be possible in
qmail too (i think that this is a common problem).
Thanks.

Maybe I am not understanding what you are doing but in most mail clients
their is a section in the configuration where you put your e-mail
address. In that same area there might be a entry called Reply-To which
is different then your e-mail address that you specified. When a person
uses the reply command in their client it will use what is listed in
Reply-To if there isn't nothing there it will use the e-mail address
listed.
If you are talking about qmaiil re-writing the message before it sends
it then I don't think so but I could be wrong.

You are right but in this case if i send a mail from a local user to a local
user he wuold reply to the internet adress not the local adress, it's the
second chance do you say that i need :)

Check your outlocal and outhost files to find out what the list thinks its

I have a mail server that needs to receive mail for local users and handle
bounces. However, I would like all outgoing mail to use my QMQP servers
instead of being queued locally. Is this possible?

Isn't this just control/smtproutes?
do like:

No.
You might look at Bruce Guenter's nullmailer, http://em.ca/~bruceg/nullmailer/
I've never used it, but it looks like it might do what you need.

Hello
everyone
I kinda proud to
say i finaly managed to get this pop3 daemon working properly under tcpserver
supervised!!!
all my performance
problems started because i had a bad run file in the dir.
anyway, if any one
new to qmail is interested in obtaining a nice, simple guide to installing pop3
like smtp, ill write one.
i dont believe
there isnt one already, but i looked and looked and havent found one that
matched my configuration.
after all, i
follows LWQ, and thats *NOT* a common thing... (SIGH)
anyway, if anyone
is interested, ill b happy to help, now that i know a little more about
this
Occasionally someone will ask how well the DUL or RBL
works and some people throw out:
DUL caught 105 items
RBL caught 33 items
Just how do you determine how many it caught?
Do these denies get logged to tcpserver's log??
(when tcpserver is of course run w/ -v option)
Thanks,
mike.

They get logged like so, wherever you put the stdout of the chain that
starts qmail-smtpd. Ours is piped to accustamp then cyclog.

Oy! This thread made me curious so I was grepping through my smtpd logs.
As they were streaming down the screen, it seemed like there were an
awful lot of a particular address. 195.25.12.67 and 75 seemed to be
showing up every line almost. In fact, in less than 3 days of logs I
show those addresses being rejected... take a deep breath... more than
38,000 times. Yikes. Either they are pushing some major amounts of spam,
or someone there is a blockhead and doesn't understand error messages.
jon
To add some perspective... the total of all messages blocked by RSS and
DUL was ~48,000 over that same period (the last 3 days). Those 2 IPs
accounted for close to 39,000 of those.
OT for the thread... DUL accounted for 350 of the denials.

Whenever I see this kind of thing happen, it invariably turns out to be some
moronic Microsoft SMTP MTA on the other end. Your example is a case in point:
[cjohnson@mail cjohnson]$ telnet 195.25.12.67 25
Trying 195.25.12.67...
Connected to s2.gen.oleane.net.
Escape character is '^]'.
220-s2.gen.oleane.net Microsoft SMTP MAIL ready at Fri, 25 Aug 2000 02:21:33 +0200
Version: 5.5.1877.197.19
220 ESMTP spoken here
I suspect that you're not using the -b option to rblsmtpd, which causes
rblsmtpd to send a 553 (permanent) error code to an RBL'ed client rather than
the default 451 (temporary). Microsoft MTAs interpret the 451's "Try again
later" as "Try again as soon as you can, and keep trying over and over and over
as quickly as you possibly can."
If you want to shut this guy up, give rblsmtpd the -b option, or stick
something like the following in your SMTP rules file (assuming you're using
tcpserver):
195.25.12.67:allow,RBLSMTPD="-Buzz off, bonehead. You're bothering me."
The leading '-' makes the error permanent for this particular IP address.

Thanks for the advince Chris. I appreciate it. However, I do use the -b
flag, so mail is being blocked:
@4000000039a208a80b375874.s:@4000000039a1ba8124896a9c rblsmtpd:
195.25.12.67 pid 30954: 553 Open relay problem - see
<URL:http://www.mail-abuse.org/cgi-bin/nph-rss?195.25.12.67>
Must be a spam house, or MS software is really just THAT broken. :-)

understand why the "xdelay" is minus.
Is that right ? If it is right , what the real
