Hello,
Currently, omail-webmail ( http://freshmeat.net/projects/omail-webmail/ )
supports qmail-only, qmail+vpopmail and qmail+vmailmgr accounts.
Missing is now qmail+ldap authentication : it just need a way
to check an login+domain+passwd pair, and return userid, and
Maildir location. Could anybody using qmail-ldap contribute
some code ? :)
Regards,
Olivier

Ahh, I see. If my memory serves correctly (since I'm not using Linux on
this machine), the util-linux login doesn't read /etc/login.defs; only
the login program from the shadow package does. This could explain why
you're not getting mail notifications on your Maildir when you log in.
However, I don't know of a solution, apart from installing the shadow
package yourself. I wouldn't suggest it though.

Actually this 'Delivered-to' line was inserted into the rc because the
fetchmail-faq wrongly stated it as necessary when fetchmail is used in
combination with qmail.
As a default, fetchmail checks the TO, CC and the Received lines from
any e-mail.
If anyone interested, I had made it work using this rc:
poll mail.subdimension.com protocol pop3 aka www.subdimension.com nodns
localdomains subdimension.com
username "rodan" with password "&$%%$&" is peter here
fetchall forcecr to * here
Sorry for posting the '-bis-' but it looks that the fetchmail list is
kind of dead for me.
All I got from them was the subscription notice and _nothing_ else. Not
even the copy of my own submission.

Happy weekend to all of you!

Hi, list!
I installed Qmail in a Redhat 6.2 system, with the help of the
qmail-howto by Adam McKenna, and it is working very well.
Now, I need to create some mail accounts for the internal network only,
without outer world access.
I can't forbid the access by IP, since there are 2 accounts in a same
PC, one with access to Internet, and the other not.
I thought about creating a virtual domain for the internal accounts, and
not to permit the relay to it, but not seems me a very elegant solution.
Are there any way so that [EMAIL PROTECTED] could to send and to receive
mails normally, and that [EMAIL PROTECTED] will be internal only?
Thanks in advance, and excuse my poor english!

I was tracking qmail-smtpd's exit codes for a couple of days. Without fixcrio, we were
getting a 256 on 50-60% of all incoming SMTP connections. By using fixcrio, I think
it's down to less than 10%, which I think we can attribute to timeouts and
miscellaneous errors.

I have never had to do this before. Our new billing software does not work
if we have "." dots in the user name.
I need to remove the dots in the software but have qmail deliver the un
doted mail for those few users to their doted Mail address.
How do I do this.
Thanks

OK, correct me if I'm wrong. In the .qmail file that is in every user home
directory, I add the line &[EMAIL PROTECTED]
their real address is [EMAIL PROTECTED]
or do I put this in the first line of that file. Or did I totally miss this.
Thanks

basically what you want to do is add a file called .qmail-stjohns to
/var/qmail/alias, the contents of which would be:
st.johns
That must be on the first line. What will happen is when a mail is sent to
[EMAIL PROTECTED], qmail will search for the user, see that it doesn't
exist and pass the message on to the alias user. If the alias user can't
find the appropriate file, the message is bounced. However, when you put
this file there, it will route the message to the st.johns user and go with
whatever instructions are in the ~st.johns/.qmail file, probably putting it
into the accounts $HOME/Maildir/

If you want or need more information on this, take a look at Dave Sill's
Life With qmail. It will give more extensive information on aliases and
.qmail than I can.

I can't seem to get tcprules OR cbd Perl module to work. I have spent hours
playing with the permissions of all the files, but still get this error:
tcprules: fatal: unable to move /usr/local/etc/tcp.smtp.tmp to
/usr/local/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb: access denied
Would someone mind sharing with permissions on tcp.smtp.tmp, tcp.smtp,
tcp.smtp.cdb, tcprules, and tcprulescheck?
I'm running Qmail via Inetd, and can write the tcp.smtp file fine, but all
attempts to create the .cdb file fail with the error listed above.
Thanks in advance for any and all ideas,

I am running Qmail with TCPserver and Vpopmail so their may be some
permission difference there but this is what I have for the files:
-rw-r--r-- 1 vpopmail vchkpw 60 Jun 8 11:27 tcp.smtp
-rw-r--r-- 1 root vchkpw 2240 Sep 2 16:14 tcp.smtp.cdb
-rwx--x--x 1 root wheel 20480 Jun 2 22:00 tcprules
-rwx--x--x 1 root wheel 16384 Jun 2 22:00 tcprulescheck
It sounds like the program (owner) that is creating the cdb file doesn't
have write permission to the directory you are trying to write to.
Who (as in what user) is running tcprules? Can you run tcprules as root
successfully?
I had a heck of time getting vpopmail and tcprules working correctly for
me, ended up being a permission problem. Vpopmail has a feature where
it will automate the updating of the tcp.smtp.cdb file in real time.

I am trying to compile qmail so that I can both run it in a debugger and
run it through gprof. On both occaisions I get "cannot find debugging

How I can use qmail to implement email backup?
I mean I use two machine whick both run qmail.One work as the other's back.
When hostA shut down, HostB can receive the mail and when hosta is up ,retransfer the
email received to the HostA.
How should I setup DNS server and qmail server independently?
