Hi,

I almost missed your mail.

If you have installed the SPAMCONTROL patch completely with man-pages,
check man qmail-smtpd for the correct syntax for those control files.

Two cases:
1. As soon as you use the RELAYCLIENT environment variable, the control
files relayclients and relaydomains become obsolete. Thus, whatever is
carried in these variables (usually defined by means of tcpserver's
mechanisms) is exclusively taken. 
2. However, you are free to define additional relaymailfrom addresses. This
control file acts independently of (1.). 

See README.spamcontrol for more details.

cheers.
eh.

Greetings,
I would appreciate it if there is anyway I can get qmail to inform users
when mail delivery is delayed by a certain time period, the way that
sendmail does. If this functionality is not there is there a patch which I
can use?

Best Wishes,
Grendel

Hi

Is it possible to keep two mail-servers in sync, just in case one fails?

I thought maybe it was possible with normal mailfiles and rsync or
something, but when the mail is delivered to server1 and at the same time
at server2 there is no rsync or rdist possible to keep both the messages I
think. And with maildirectories it isn't possible either; if one mailfile
is deleted on one host, the other one sends it back later because it
wasn't available anymore... (And I want people to be able to pop from both
servers, and I want mail to be delivered to both servers...)

I hope there is an solution for this,
Thank you,
Paul

qmail is not designed for this. Look into a distributed network
filesystem, such as AFS, or write your own programs for .qmail to
distribute incoming messages to both servers.

I want to try on SSL with qmail server.
First, I patched the qmail souce code by using tls.patch written
by Frederik Vermeulen with the following command:
patch -ur -p0 <tls.patch
 
And then all the files should be patched is modified.
But cert.pem and req.pem didn't be generate automatically in
/var/qmail/control
 
So, I generated them manually with the following command lines
which author wrote in that document.
The files "cert.pem"and "req.pem"were really generated in
/var/qmail/control.
 
and I changed their access attribute chmod 640....
changed their owner to become qmaild.qmail.
 
But when I used telnet my server with port smtp.
and typed starttls,it always appear this error message:
 
454 TLS not available: missing certificate (#4.3.0)
 
which step I did was incorrectly?
May someone help me?      thank you a lot :)
 




Maybe the error could be gcc?
Help me please

Our hosting service like many others imposes a monthly data transfer allowance. The 
data transfer through http is fairly easy to calculate from apache log files. How can 
I calculate the data transfer through both incoming smtp and outgoing pop for each of 
my users?

Thanks in advance

I suggest you to get a IP-accounting software (like ipac for linux). 
The numbers you get from the logs do not include the protocol 
(smtp, http etc.) overhead.

SMTP:

the logs are something like:

info msg AAAAAA: bytes SSSS from <someone@somewhere> qp 25392 uid
502
starting delivery 5: msg AAAAAA to local [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Through the delivery number (AAAAAA) you can match this kind of lines. The
first one tells you the size (SSSS), the second one will give you the local
user.

POP3: AFAIK... no luck.

Oh, how nice. Is this happenning to anyone else who's posting here?
Mr. [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s mailserver appears to think the recipient of a
message is it's To: address, and not the envelope recipient. So it returns
mailing list messages to the mailing list. Sigh.
Read the headers and enjoy.

echo "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" >

echo "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" >
~vpopmail/domains/domain2.com.br/.qmail-user2

That should do it. These email deliveries are done by qmail-local.

Hi All,
It's been a couple years since I last installed qmail. I'm trying to
install to Redhat 6.2.

Durring the installation, everything ran smoothly, but a few of the tests
failed.

If I send mail from an external machine to [EMAIL PROTECTED], the message
is received. If I send mail from an external machine to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (or mailer-daemon, or root) the message is not
received. 

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Aaron,

Did you create .qmail-postmaster, .qmail-mailer-daemon and .qmail-root
in ~alias?
If those files are empty the messages were delivered to the 'alias' user
according to the default delivery instruction.
If you specified some other delivery instruction int he .qmail files the
messages have been processed accordingly.

What do your logs say about these deliveries?

Regards,

james

Hi James,
I have created .qamil-* files. I have tried using them empty as well, as
with ./Maildir/ in them. Neither have worked. Here's is a copy from the
logs, of what I assume is likely the culprit

/var/qmail/alias needs to be both

 - owned by, and
 - the home directory of

the 'alias' user.

That solved it. Thanks! It turns out alias did not have execute
permissions on ~alias.

Hi,

I do all my qmail mailadress-configuration via the /users/assign file.
Is it possible to get all mails to a specified adresse delivered to two
mailboxes? I know there are possibilities e.g. .qmail files but I really
would love it to be able to configure it in my assign file. The only
thing I want to have is one mailadresse being delivered into two
distinkt mailboxes.

thanks in advance

Clemens

Yeshh...
It says I should change 'defaultdelivery' in the start script:

So, I've already changed it to:
> exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \
> qmail-start '| preline /usr/local/lib/maildrop/bin/maildrop' splogger qmail

But, it doesn't create any maildirsize (for quotas) and doesn't call
'.mailfilter' for the virtual domains users.

Pine is not an MUA. Pine is an abomination.

nnmaildir.el does what you want. However, it's still beta, so you've

Heh, it's XEmacs... as in /vmxemacs :-) ShengHuo Zhu has written
mailwatch.el to make time.el work with maildir (the yellow button
thingy in the grey bar thingy).

Sigh. I'm not sure you know what "command line" means.

    % runtime show cur >/dev/null
    0.120 sec

    % runtime emacs -nw -f save-buffers-kill-emacs
    5.053 sec

Emacs is not a command line interface. Although I often use Emacs to
read a buch of messages, I don't feel like taking 42 times too long to
read just *one* message. Advocating emacs to an emacs user, when he
happens to want a CLI, is pretty darned annoying.

Okay, go for nmh then (with no frontend). That's hopefully command-line
enough, even though I've never used it myself.

A little essay posted here a while ago:

  http://x42.com/qmail/cookbook/percenthack.shtml

/magnus

--
http://x42.com/




According to "standard", when a person sends mail to:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Should it do which of the following:

1) Alias to root
2) Alias to postmaster
3) Return "No Such User"
4) Ignore message: don't deliver

Also, is there any "standard" that makes the following address special?

[EMAIL PROTECTED]

If so what should the action of it be?

Thanks, and sorry for off-topic message.

The way I read the documentation, one of the points of the maildir
system is that it allows distribution by hard linking.

allocate a hostname with both addresses as A records.


If their pop3 client isn't doing some checking to select the best
of the alternatives (I'm not aware of any that do, but it wouldn't
be hard to add to an open source one) then they're stuck connecting
to the one listed first.

I don't know if djdns can be configured to give out A records in
a different order depending on the source of the query, if it _can_
and your users are using their ISP-provided DNS servers (they probably
are) then you can do it.

But altogether this is a DNS issue and belongs on the djdns list which
surely exists.







Since Dave Sill himself didn't come up with the answer to your question,
it looks like you're going to have to patch something to do that rewrite
for you.


What to patch?  How to patch it?  These are your questions now.

Soon, you too will be reading the qmail mailing list, accumulating for
weeks in a folder all its own, until you see someone in need of your patch,
someone in the same situation you are now in.

And you will be able to send them an e-mail saying "Yes, that is possible,
in fact I solved that five years ago.  Here's a link to my patch!"

qmail is not designed for this. Look into a distributed network
filesystem, such as AFS, or write your own programs for .qmail=
 to
distribute incoming messages to both servers.

Hi all,

I'm trying for two days now to make qmail work, but so far only errors.

1.
If I start qmail from inetd like this:
smtp    stream  tcp     nowait  qmaild  /usr/sbin/tcpd  /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd

then netscape tells me that error (null) occurs with smtp server and
doesn't deliver.
this is my hosts.allow:
tcp-env:        127.0.0.1, 192.168.0.4, 192.168.0.2: setenv = RELAYCLIENT

maillog doesn't record anything when this error occurs ?!?
/bin/mail works this way ...

2.
If I start like this:
tcpserver -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c 150 -u 504 -g 503 0 smtp
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1 | /var/qmail/bin/splogger qmail-smtpd &

504 & 503 are ok...

/etc/tcp.smtp:
192.168.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
127.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""

netscape seems to deliver (there are no errors) but message vanishes and
appears in the ppp queue only if I restart qmail (several times).

there isno log activity this way. Only program running is qmail-smtpd.
This should be wrong ...

so, I've applied both possibilities from FAQ [5.4] but none worked. What
else could I do?

Thanks,
        Peter






Hello QMailers:

I am trying to figure out how to convert from a sendmail virtusertable file
in
the format of:

@virtdomain.com %1~[EMAIL PROTECTED]

to be used with qmail. I have investigated fastforward and using the
newaliases
command which says that it will use /etc/aliases entries and virtualdomain
entries...
but when I have the above in the /etc/aliases file and create a
/etc/aliases.cdb
and try to verify it by:

mailhost% env DEFAULT=george HOST=virtdomain.com
/var/qmail/bin/fastforward -nd /etc/aliases.cdb
from <original envelope sender>
to <%1~[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

I think it should resolve to: <george~[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

The reason for this setup is to have several load balanced MX mail servers
on the front
end with a large back-end database storage for email.

Thanks for any help or advice!

OK I didn't totally understand that rushed e-mail, but you may like to know
that the username that the mail is being delivered to can be referenced in
.qmail files as $LOCAL . ie in .qmail , you could have a line ' | forward
"$[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ' to forward to whatever the username is,
plus "-blah" at the domain name. Hope this helps

Hey Brett,

Thanks for the reply...

I tried changing the %1 to $LOCAL in my /etc/aliases file so that it
looks like:

@virtdomain.com $LOCAL~[EMAIL PROTECTED]

but after running /var/qmail/bin/newaliases and testing I still get:

# env DEFAULT=george HOST=virtdomain.com /var/qmail/bin/fastforward -nd
/etc/aliases.cdb
from <original envelope sender>
to <$LOCAL~[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

I guess I would like to stay away from .qmail files because I would probably
end up
having about 300+ of them for different domains... I think the
directory/file access
would be very slow compared with using a cdb file like /etc/aliases.cdb, but
then again
I might be wrong... and I guess I did not explain that part initially or
very well...
lack of sleep to solve this problem due to disgust with sendmail has cause a
lack of
good explanation skills...

BTW: I have posted two other email without any response to this mailing list
and no
ever replied... I guess that is why I put the URGENT in there..

Actually I HAVE wanted this kind of functionality in fastforward before but
not for virtual domains...but since it seems kind of common, maybe a patch
is needed by someone for fastforward (or the creators could mod it
slightly...) so we can use this same $LOCAL functionality in there...I am
not great with this but I might take a look soon...just an idea for everyone
else.

And Tim sorry, unless you play with virtualdomains and can work out
something in that file ($LOCAL may work there...) or feel like doing some
pretty crazy scripting in ~alias/.qmail-default (like '| if domain name =
specdomain.com then /bin/forward "$[EMAIL PROTECTED]"'
note: that was pseudocode not real code), then I personally don't know how
to do it. I think a good bet for you to investigate is the virtualdomains
file. That, along with some creative thinking I think will get you where you
want to go possibly...

Cya!

You must describe the problem a little more elaboratively
if you want to get reasonable help. 

What is the contents of your /var/qmail/control/*-files? 

What are you trying to do? From what, to what is the to:-line changed? And
when? 

/magnus

look in /var/qmail/control/me and make sure it is the right domain

evrything running now, prob was quite a fucking tricky one::
main mailserver: sendmail
looking up our qmail server in dns, finding only a cname and assigning a new
address to the mail, changed the cname to an a record... working!!

I say it's more than that. It seems to be replacing all the envelope
information from the header information, and forwarding the result.
Try putting your own address in a Cc and see if you get a duplicate
message. This could be the ultimate in ``open-relay'' technology... :-)

I'm going to test this by Cc-ing myself. Please don't Cc me if you
choose to reply...

Hello,

        Sorry to everyone. A misconfigured Lotus Domino Server has been replying to all the messages that came in from the external qmail server during last night.

i´m trying to host a few virtual domains and let them have their own email adresses.
my first try was to add a virtual domain members.test.at
the servername is qmail.test.at and the standard domain is test.at
 
every mail i send with outlook as [EMAIL PROTECTED] goes through the qmail server and comes back with [EMAIL PROTECTED] but this only happens with outlook as i know so far, not with linux mailers
 
defaulthost is mail.test.at
defaultdomain is test.at
me is qmail.test.at
 
i dont want to masquerade all mail as test.at, mail also has to be sent from [EMAIL PROTECTED] or whatever
