-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi qmail gurus, I have here a little network with only a few clients and a SuSE-linux-server. The server dials up into the internet only if an adress outside our local network is requested by some client. On our server I have qmail for local e-mail. The "normal" e-mail-server for our domain is running at the internet service provider. Evry hour our server runs fetchmail to fetch e-mail from the provider's server and feed it into our local qmail. So far, everything works well. But: If some User in the local network writes an e-mail, and delivers it to the local qmail-server, the server dials up the internet to send out this single e-mail. That's not what I want it to do. I would like qmail to keep all outgoing mail in it's queue and collect it e. g. for one hour. Then if e. g. some script is running I want it to deliver all mails from it's queue, because this would save some online-costs. I tried to set concurrencyremote to 0. This has the effect, that all remote-mails are hold on the queue. When the server is online I tried to give an ALRM-signal to qmail-send, but qmail ignores this. This is also not, what I want. The only way I found is bevore going online to set concurrencyremote to >0, go online, restart qmail, let it deliver the mails, go offline, set concurrencyremote to 0 and restart qmail again. But I do not want to restart my qmail everytime. Is there another way? Bye and Thanks, *B* erny -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 6.0.2i iQA/AwUBOat+3CpywmLWA7OwEQL9rACggvLpH8WlYiQ0+tjcJU/tQKkeRKgAn3gW ddeogc8SOCf/0OSFYpGHFthv =gd8d -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Try serial mail. I have similar setup and it works fine. Yasin
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
I have a problem with the /var/qmail/bin/sendmail program i try to send a mail via a script (AMaViS) but the command line doesn't work : $cat <<EOF | /usr/lib/sendmail -i -t [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: test my test text. ^D $ it tells me: sendmail: illegal option -- a sendmail: usage: sendmail [ -t ] [ -fsender ] [ -Fname ] [ -bp ] [ -bs ] [ arg ... ] i see the archive of the anoucement list and the manual page and my syntax seems to be right. i tried without options but the result is the same. after a lot of test, i need some help, thx Dji. -- Audouy J�r�me - 3rd year student in E.S.S.I.

I do indeed use MH mail, as well as front-ends to MH like Mew, GNUs, xmh, etc. And I really miss vmh. However, MH is not reliable; concurrent deliveries can destroy .mh_sequnces and (I've heard) can clobber messages. I want to put together a CLI which uses maildirs as folders, in the spirit of MH (but not necessarily a clone). I posted to this list to see if there was any interest. There is a little, but not as much as I'd rather hoped. "Maildir MH" is a non-trivial project; it will be a failure (in my view) if it doesn't fully support concurrent folder access. Anyone interested in discusssing the subject can join the mailing list; send an empty message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and follow the directions in the reply. Also see <http://www.pobox.com/~lbudney/linux/mdmh.html>. Len. -- The concept of ``security-critical'' depends on what you're trying to protect. -- Dan Bernstein

I'd be interested. nmh appears to be under a BSD-style licence, so it should be okay to adapt; I rather like certain nmh-isms, like ``repl -group'' that obeys Mail-Followup-To. Yes, I'll join the mailing list. I must get to grips with how MH works, but after that it shouldn't be hard... I hope. You say Maildir MH is not trivial; I'd like to find out why. <offtopic> Writing to a Maildir is trivial; I've written a Perl script to do it (yep, I saw your page for safecat too). I wrote mine before I heard of safecat, and before procmail 3.14 (which had Maildir support), but it has a forwarding feature, so that if the ``mailbox'' contains a @ character the message gets forwarded. That last feature is so that you can do this in a .procmailrc: SENDMAIL=${HOME}/bin/deliver SENDMAILFLAGS= :1 * Delivered-To:.* qmail@list\.cr\.yp\.to !qmail and not completely botch the use of ``!'' for forwarding. The script is at http://pub.hedgee.com/scripts/perl/deliver; I use syscall() to get fsync to work in Perl. </offtopic> ---Chris K. -- Chris, the Young One |_ If you can't afford a backup system, you can't Auckland, New Zealand |_ afford to have important data on your computer. http://cloud9.hedgee.com/ |_ ---Tracy R.

Len put up an excellent paper on his page. I read it over a traintrip in the weekend, it gave me a good view on how MH works. > <offtopic> > Writing to a Maildir is trivial; I've written a Perl script to do it > (yep, I saw your page for safecat too). I wrote mine before I heard of > safecat, and before procmail 3.14 (which had Maildir support), but it So trivial that procmail gets it *completely* wrong and allows for clobbering, even in a Maildir. I contacted a co-worker of the author, and I'll see to it that this bug gets fixed in procmail. [snip] The non-trivial part is in stuff like message numbering. A file like mh_sequence (that seems to be used for just that) is easily clobbered indeed.

Hmm...it's just now occurring to me that not many people are already familiar with MH. It was the default at Syracuse University (until they switched to Pine), so I sort of assumed that every one had used it at some point in their lives...Don't I feel like a dinosaur.

As an exmh user, I think it would be nice if its UI were close enough to MH that exmh could be made to work with it. I'd actually thought about a re-coding of MH in Perl once upon a time, but I only got as far as the 'scan' command before I decided it wasn't going to be fast enough for use.

Hail to the wise ones! Qmail has been running my mail server for two innocent years but seems like the time for trouble has come. The server I'm talking about connects to the net through my ISP over a leased line. Qmail uses my ISP's SMTPD as a relay client ( smtproutes contains :CCC.CCC.CCC.CCC and CCC... is my ISP's SMTPD host ip number ) A couple of days ago the SMTPD at CCC.CCC.CCC.CCC (that's sendmail 8.9.3/8.8.7) began to reject my qmail's bounce messages. Below is a cut from the log files. A message for a not existing mailbox comes from the net. Qmail tries to bounce it, but when connecting to my ISP's SMTP daemon it gets the "554 buildaddr: no host" error. I've masked the real domain names with xxx for the local host and yyy for the remote host and the real IP's with AAA for the local host, BBB for the remote host and CCC for my ISP's relay host. Can anybody figure out whats going on? I think the sendmail daemon rejects the bounce because there's an empty string for the sender field in the envelope... I'll highly appreciate your help! Thank you in advance!

In any case, it's a problem with your ISP's mail server, not yours. Call your ISP and yell at them. Chris
Hello again, I really would appreciate it if someone could give me a short hint conderning my problem because I should continue adding some mail users. If there is no solution to the problem the way I want it it would also help me to know that it is impossible. In this case I really would appreciate it to know some alternatives to solve the problem centralized (not with single files in the maildirs).

In essence, the assign file is telling qmail-lspawn exactly which .qmail file to use and which user to become when processing the message without the need for a getpwnam() type call. You can have duplicate keys in the assign file BUT qmail-lspawn will only use the first one. See man qmail-users(5). What you can do is get the mail delivered to the alias user with an entry in the assign file =someuser:alias:400:400:/var/qmail/alias:-:someuser: and in /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-someuser have entries of the form &user1 &user2 > > Thanks in advance > > Clemens > > > 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?

Here's a quote of the man-page from sendmail -t Extract recipients from message headers. This requires that no recipients be specified on the command line. The following small script (tested with qmail, of course) worked for me. #!/bin/sh cat <<EOF| /usr/sbin/sendmail -i -t From: rainer@localhost To: test@localhost Subject: test my test text. EOF That's basically just the same way we use to generate notification messages in AMaViS :) Anyway, I would use AMaViS-Perl instead of AMaViS with qmail :) (Note to all SuSE Linux users: /usr/bin/suidperl is for security reasons not setuid on SuSE Linux systems as it's IIRC not on FreeBSD systems, too.

It could make sense if you need the ENVELOPE sender (-f) to be different than the From HEADER (-t), e.g. automatically send bounces to blackhole but the recipient can still reply to the email according to the From header. > Here's a quote of the man-page from sendmail > -t Extract recipients from message headers.

I have a small problem. Qmail has been up and running for several months and seems to be working fine except for one thing: Any mail that should be bouncing (i.e., "unknown user") is being sent to the postmaster account. I know there is something simple I have overlooked (as this is almost always the case with Qmail - everything is so simple once you know where to look for it). Anyway, if someone could please respond off-list I would appreciate it. Eric

If so, do you have a .qmail-default file set to deliver to postmaster (or root, etc)? Or perhaps are there any files matching ~alias/.qmail-*default?

Read the manual page for tcpserver. Turn off the hostname lookup and ident lookup options (TCPREMOTEINFO). This is a FAQ.

Yes, I agree with the MUA being responsible for doing the translation. But some doesn't do that. I've heard about setting a TZ enviroment variable to do this for qmail.

You can achieve that if you apply this patch to qmail: ftp://ftp.nlc.net.au/pub/unix/mail/qmail/qmail-date-localtime.patch or if the australian line is slow: http://x42.com/qmail/patches/qmail-date-localtime.patch /magnus -- http://x42.com/

If I wanted to hack the Received headers I would have had changed qmail (or any other MTA) to change anything in the headers! And, it would mean nothing, as I would not have any access to other servers in the net! I just want to make qmail work with my localtime.

Received header is always generated by the MTA, in this case qmail. > I just want to make qmail work with my localtime. Will this make > qmail-inject send messages with localtime 'Date:' header? To reiterate: Date header should be generated by the MUA. You can use datemail instead of sendmail or qmail-inject as the MUA so the Date header is generated using your local time. Ronny

You cannot tell qmail-inject to use any other timezone, no matter how hard you push $TZ. If you want to use localtime, then use /var/qmail/bin/datemail. It has a similar interface to /var/qmail/bin/sendmail, and it will create a Date: header using the local timezone if, and only if, there is no existing Date: header in its input. Received: headers generated by qmail programs will always be in UTC unless you patch the source. -- Regards Peter ---------- Peter Samuel [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.e-smith.org (development) http://www.e-smith.com (corporate) Phone: +1 613 368 4398 Fax: +1 613 564 7739 e-smith, inc. 1500-150 Metcalfe St, Ottawa, ON K2P 1P1 Canada "If you kill all your unhappy customers, you'll only have happy ones left"

I am running qmail and vpopmail. Hi. My qmail server has been humming along quite nicely. Its a small server with a small amount of users. I noticed logging in via POP had become very slow so I decided to talk a closer look. I notice that the tcprules process and the vchkpw process is sometimes using up to 90% of CPU consitently. I also noticed a lot of large files in the /etc/tcprules.d directory with the following type of names: qmail-smtpd.tmp.24168 qmail-smtpd.tmp.24105 etc I tried restarting the pop server and qmail but it seems to just continue on taking up so much CPU, same with rebooting. I only have 100 users on this server so I dont think I should have any problems. How do I go about debugging this ? It has been working fine for about 5 months until this. thanks ! Tony

Just a voice of concern, That Old Sendmail, Is Remotley Vulnerable to a root takeover of the host.

I just want to check over those Newlines, to see if it's compliant with today's requirements. Could possibly be, Sendmail's 8.7.5/8.7.3 protocol is outdated. Jonathan D.

Hi, A stupid question. I installed qmail-1.03 on a linux (redhat 6.2) box. Question is, how should I start the pop3d (/use/sbin/tcpd pop3d or /vasr/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d or ?????). What I troed to do is allow users can get their mail from windows MUA. Thanks for your time. Regards, Jerry

Hi, A stupid question again. I have installed the tcpserver. But there is one thing I don't understand in the menu: tcpserver host port "program" what does the "program" mean? Thanks for your time.

Program is what you want to run. eg: /usr/local/bin/tcpserver 0 25 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd & That's just a generalisation, if you want the relay control you'd use the -x option, etc. Vince. -- ========================================================================== Vince Vielhaber -- KA8CSH email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pop4.net 128K ISDN from $22.00/mo - 56K Dialup from $16.00/mo at Pop4 Networking Online Campground Directory http://www.camping-usa.com Online Giftshop Superstore http://www.cloudninegifts.com ==========================================================================

Each user chooses to use maildrop, as he would procmail. I guess you can use the .qmail file to do this, but I call it directly from fetchmail in my .fetchmailrc file with: mda "/usr/local/bin/maildrop" BUT... Perhaps someone can help me to see the light here. I'm given to understand that people here complain about fetchmail's handing off of mail to the MTA as being flawed. I had trouble with it when I was still using sendmail, blamed it on sendmail (another "Lost in Space" episode), and bypassed the problem by having fetchmail hand off directly to procmail. These days, having had way too many sendmail adventures, I've switched to qmail. Calling the MDA (now maildrop) directly from fetchmail is an inherited arrangement from a resolution to earlier troubles. And, with this arrangement, I've had no trouble with fetchmail. I would consider switching to getmail, but I didn't see a way to run this via ssh.

I really can't seem to get Qmail to run with tcpserver as far as the pop service goes. I've followed all the directions on LWQ, with the exception of Paul Gregg's checkpasswd. Inetd will probably work for me, but I need to setup pop-before SMTP, and I can't seem to get the IP address of the calling client when I run Qmail through inetd. I'm wondering if my startup scripts are wrong, or in the wrong order, etc. I've included all the relevant file contents below, including the inetd lines that work. I'm looking to get tcpserver to work, or finding a way to pass the IP address of the calling client to pass through checkpassword using inetd. I'm on a Sun Sparc 2.6. Thanks in advance for any ideas!

I'm trying to get Qmail working with Mailman. Mailman can send outbound mail no problem. On the reply to the list, I can get Mailman to understand the virtual domain, and I have put the .qmail files in the virtual directory, but when I send mail to the account I get this message: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1) To get this far, I have worked with rcpthosts and virtualdomains and that got the virtual domain working. Before that, the failure message was no domain here by that name. In the virtual domain directory (mailnames/matrixlist.com/), I have: .qmail-test-request (and several more) which contains |preline /home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd test What am I missing? -- Phil Barnett mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW http://www.the-oasis.net/ FTP Site ftp://ftp.the-oasis.net
Hi, we have two qmail servers runing as mail gateways, recive mail for mydomain.es and forward it to an internal mail server, this morning the firewall between the mail gateways and the internet go down ten minutes, and qmail lost all connectivity, (can't send mail to the internal mail server and can't send mail to the Internet) when the firewall go up and qmail have connectivity it start reciving mail for mydomain.com but don't forward it to our internal mail server, the log say qmail: 967616885.541933 delivery 481922: deferral: Sorry,_I_wasn't_able_to_establish_an_SMTP_connection._(#4.4.1)/ but if I open a telnet connection from the qmail server to the por 25 our internal mail sever I can send mail, looking at the firewall logs I can see that qmail isn't starting any connection to our internal mail server but say Sorry,_I_wasn't_able_to_establish_an_SMTP_connection._(#4.4.1)/ the internal mail server forward mail to the qmail server and qmail server send it to the internet, but don't forward the mail he revice fron the Internet to the internal mail server just put it in the queue and log Sorry,_I_wasn't_able_to_establish_an_SMTP_connection._(#4.4.1)/, whitout open any qmail-remote processes to send mail to our internal server. I tryed to send a kill -ALARM to qmail-send but the problem persist, I tryed to send a kill -HUP to qmail-send but the problem persist, after stop qmail-send and restart it all run fine, qmail is sending the mail to our internal mail server, anyone experienced the same problem or have any idea of what is causing the problem. The two servers experienced the same problem and the problem has gone when I restart qmail. The qmail version is 1.03, runing on Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 with a 2.2.16 Kernel. Thanks, and sorry for my bad english.

If the same address fails again (after at least two minutes with no intervening suc- cessful connections), qmail-remote assumes that further attempts will fail for at least another hour. Thus, since your firewall was down for ten minutes, qmail would assume that it was going to be down for quite some time and stop hammering on it. If you want to clear the list of timeouts, so that qmail-remote stops making that assumption, you can do that by running /var/qmail/bin/qmail-tcpok. -- "I live in the heart of the machine.
