hello qmail
list
i know that what im
about to ask is a simple question, discussed in many threads and faqs, but i
cant seem to make it work, no matter what i do.
so here
goes:
i host multiple
virtual domains on my qmail 1.03 rh6.2 server.
i use only qmail
products - qmail-smtpd and qmail-pop3d, no vpopmail or such.
everything works
fine, but now i want to do the following:
i want that all
messages bounced for each domain, will forward to an address in that
domain.
something like the
.qmail-default, execpt i want it for each domain:
example:
i host domain
xxx.com and domain yyy.com
and the same for
yyy.com.
what i
tried:
1. put .qmail-yyy
in /var/qmail/alias - didnt work
2. put .qmail in
/popboxes/yyy (which is the home directory of users of yyy domain) - didnt
work
3. put
.qmail-yyy-default in /var/qmail/alias - didnt work
4. put
.qmail-default-yyy in /var/qmail/alias - didnt work
i tried some more
.qmail files which i cant remember and didnt work. i made sure the file
permissions were 600 and so on...
in the logs when i
tried to send the message for the address that doesnt exist, i just see the
bounce message:
delivery 268:
failure: Sorry,_no_mailbox_here_by_that_name._(#5.1.1)/
and no auto
send...
please help... (i
hope i provided all the info required, if not, ill be happy to add whatever u
think is neccesary)
THANKS!!!

Try this:
Put the virtual domain in control/virtualdomains. ie:
virtual.domain.com: virtual1
anothervirtual.domain.com: virtual2
virtual1 and virtual2 are two different users...add a different user for
each virtual domain (they can have better names). Then in the home folder
for each of these users, create a .qmail-default file with has the
fastforward line first, and there is a parameter (I forget it, look in the
man page) that will move to the next line in the file if the user doesn't
exist. The second line would therefore be something like:
./Maildir/ or
./Mailbox or
&[EMAIL PROTECTED]
This is presuming you use fastforward...If you don't simply create
.qmail-user files and a .qmail-default in that virtual-domain user's home
folder instead of relying on fastforward (note: i recommend fastforward, it
is much better than sendmail's aliases...naturally)

Hello Brett
I think you (or me) are confused...
in the virtualdomains file i put the domain, and the prefix for the users of
that domain:
domain1.com:domain1
domain2.com:domain2
and then u have in the assign file:
=domain1-user:blabla
=domain2-user:blabla
each user is a diffrent user, and i want to forward only if the user mailed
to doesnt exist.
i use Maildir
so, what qmail does, is go and try to find the user at that domain.
if it doesnt exist, y should it look at .qmail-default in its home dir when
it doesnt have a home dir?
again, where should the .qmail file go and what name should it have?
thanks!

You need "+" entries in the assign file, e.g.:
+domain1:blabla
+domain2:blabla
Which act as wildcards and direct unmatched addresses to a
.qmail-default file in the specified directory.
-Dave
hi Dave
you mean that if i enter the following:
=domain1-user1:...:/popboxes/domain1/user1
=domain1-user2:...:/popboxes/domain1/user2
+domain1:.../popboxes/domain1/user1
this will forward all mail for domain1 that is not for user1 nor user2, to
user1
right?
will it also bounce the message?
Thanks for your response

Let's use complete assign entries, like:
=domain1-user1:vpop:99:99:/popboxes/domain1/user1::
=domain1-user2:vpop:99:99:/popboxes/domain1/user2::
+domain1:vpop:99:99:/popboxes/domain1/user1:-:
Now, /popboxes/domain1/user1/.qmail-default will catch all other
domain1 addresses except user1 and user2.
It won't bounce the messages unless the .qmail-default tells it to,
e.g., via "bouncesaying".
-Dave
i tried it.
it works perfectly! and so simple too.. (if you know the material, i
guess...)
thanks a lot Dave!!
(for the archive i'll post the contents of .qmail-default)

Hi Brett,
Thanks a lot.
I can reforward those emails using fetchmail!
(After 2 days trial and error .. :-))
I put what I've found at http://www.pustaka.org/fetchmail
just in case somebody need it.
Thanks also to Rick Lyons.

Hi,
I am running qmail without any problems. No I want to install it on a
second server and need some more features. The features do exist all and
can be found on qmail.org but some tools seem not to work together with
others, etc.
It would be great if someone who in running a qmail-server including the
following featurese could give me a short response. I do not need any
detail, just a good and working combination of packages to fulfill the
needs.
besides standard features I need the following:
password- and alias- database.
webmail
virtual users (no system users)
there are some other things but I expect them to work. Who has
experience combining these things? Is there a tool including all three?
Thanks in advance
Clemens

No, it'll go to user-foo. Check the qmail-send man page.

It sounds like you did everything right, so What Do The Logs Say? (tm)
Post a snippet of the qmail-send logs during an attempted delivery to
the virtual domain.
Also, please show us the actual contents of your virtualdomains file,
not something that resembles it. Even better, post the unmodified
output of qmail-showctl.

STOP -- what a *mistake*!! I personaly get used to have lines like
my.virtual.domain.com:user-my.virtual.domain.com
in my virtualdomains file.
Only in that case the above rewritings apply!
Sorry for the failure -- it was too late and I get used to much in my own
habits...

You have probably thought of this already, but make sure it doesn't
reply to answers to other questions. Probably not responding to anything
with a subject of Re:.* would be a good start. Check In-Reply-To and
References headers would also be a good idea.

I'm trying to get Qmail-Scanner working, and have managed to get
everything needed, except for the virus scanner. I'd like to use the
NAI virus scanner, because I'm told we might possibly maybe already have
a license for it. I've poked around NAI's site, but I've only been able
to find Windows and desktop products.
Does anyone know where I can find a Solaris version of NAI's Virus
Scanner. or is there another scanner out there that would work better?
The scanner woud have to be fairly heavy duty, we process around 130000
messages a day.
Thanks

A minor nit. I've always thought the expression was:
"Secure, fast, reliable. Pick any two." and that the qmail
one should be as subtly different as possible, thus:
"Secure, fast, reliable. Pick any three."
But I'm sure this has been done to death.
Regards.

Look at the antispam patches : there are one which check if the

I know, I know, not all software generates a Message-ID. But friendly
software does, and it is nice for the MTA to be friendly.
So consider this an enhancement request for Qmail.

This is true, I've used it before for some old addresses, but such
places as mypoints.com get a ton of subscribers (why is beyond me,
really). When you average ~80 messages in the queue, and one day see
120 queued and *40* destined for mypoints.com, it raises my eyebrows.

Here's a copy of the message I sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] regarding a bug in
the flame.org patch; since it's fairly serious (rejecting valid messages
that follow identified spam in a single SMTP conversation) I thought I'd
post it here in case others were using it.

Subject: bug in flame-patches-1.03-1.6.2.diff, patch provided.
Uh, there appears to be a serious bug in your flame patches - if a remote
MTA transfers multiple messages over the same SMTP conversation (i.e.,
sends a message, and instead of closing the SMTP conversation, starts a
new message) then if one message in that stream exceeded the badheader
threshold and is rejected, then all subsequent ones in that stream will
also be rejected.
I noticed this when the apache.org mail box was down for a little bit and
when it came back up, the backup MX streamed a bunch of messages to it,
and a whole series of them failed. Here's a good illustration of the
problem:

As you can see, the [EMAIL PROTECTED] was a badheaders spam, but the
rest of the ones after that also failed. Baaad.
I think the following patch appears to fix it:

I tested it and it appears to not block subsequent requests if the first
one fails. I could be misunderstanding your code though.
Thoughts?

This error would indicate that something is already using port 25 on your
machine, most likely sendmail. Alternately, your startup file is slightly
off and is attempting to start numerous instances of qmail-smtpd.
What does it say when you telnet to port 25 on the machine in question?

Speaking of flounder.net...
I am not sure if this problem is due to the operating system (Redhat 6.2),
something missing in the script, or a lack of understanding on my part but
I had an issue with the '/init.d/svscan' script from flounder.net.
I found that when running '/init.d/svscan start', the line 'svscan
/service' would appear in the output of
'ps -auxw' but 'supervise' would not start up any of the scripts under
/service.
After playing around with the 'svscan' command I found that 'svscan
/service' would not start the scripts under service but would instead
attempt to start no-existant scripts in the current directory.
To "fix" '/init.d/svscan' I added the line 'cd /service' like so...
case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Starting djb services: services: svscan"
cd /service
env - Path="/usr/local/bin:$PATH" svscan &
Now when running '/init.d/svscan start' all of my qmail scripts have started
up and have the associated 'supvervise' lines when running 'ps -auxxww'
All comments, criticisms, and abuse are welcomed :)

Thanks, I fixed that in my config scripts a while ago, but I must have
forgotten about the copy of the init script in the howto.

So it wasn't just me :) Was that the change you made in your config script?
Are there any other changes that I should make to my config scripts? So far
I haven't found any other problems.

Yes, that's the change. I actually had a file in that directory
(http://flounder.net/qmail) called svscan-init which was correct as well, I
guess I must have changed that one and forgotten about the one in the HOWTO.

According to http://cr.yp.to/daemontools/svscan.html, svscan can
(should?) be started with a single argument - the /service directory. So
instead of
cd /service
env - PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH" svscan &
you could use
env - PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH" svscan /service &

My apologies. I should have included the original code in my email. The
method you suggested is the method employed in the script on Adam's page.
Unfortunately, svscan is not behaving the way the documentation says that it
should.
You can test this by executing 'svscan /service' from the command line.
When I execute this command, svscan attempts to start ./run in every
subdirectory of my working directory.
When executing init./svscan start, using the original method ( w/o the cd
/service) svscan starts and is listed in the output of ps -aux but none of
the associated scripts ( supervise qmail-send) start up.
We can't always believe what we read :)

What version of daemontools are you using? The current version of svscan takes
as an argument the directory in which it should run; the previous version
didn't take any arguments, and you had to cd to the directory you wanted it to
run in.

Thanks to Timothy Legant, I realized that I was using an older copy of
daemontools. That fixed it. Thanks

I receive email for a domain via uucp, and send out mail via smtp to a
commercial relay host, (why, is a rather complicated issue,) which is
the default in smtproutes for non-local domain delivery.
Incoming mail from the uucp provider has a "From " header of the form
"From somedomain.com!user ...", and qmail changes this to "From
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ...", (as it probably should.)
Although delivery works, bounced messages bounce, (not surprisingly,
since qmail favors the "From " header, as it probably should, for
bounced addresses.)
Is there a way to handle this, (sending bounced messages back though
uucp would suffice.)
Thanks,
John

It should work. The bounce messages should come back to your host.
You need to just have an alias for somedomain!user that forwards
to the uucp mailer. You should already have something like that
if you are accepting inbound mail for this person.

Dave -- your message was great. I would hope that there would be
more like it on the list in the future.
I'll add one thing to the list, if I may be so bold, is a little bit
about approaching problem solving in a unix environment, remember, it's
usually PATH, PERMISSION
If linuxpeople is a newbie -- or if anyone else is a newbie -- then I'd
like to offer this bit of advice that may or may not be useful, as your
mileage may vary: When working with new systems/apps/etc, try to do
things in an incremental way. Now, this may sound simplistic -- but
I'll give some more ideas.
First, it's always a heck of a lot more difficult to fix something when
there isn't an error. I always tell people that if there is an error
message -- I can fix the error (well, under unix). So, if there isn't
an error message -- try to find or generate one. That is, a
reproduceable error is usually easier to track down than a transient
error. In any case, the one thing search engines excel at is matching
exact text -- just take the error message and paste it into a search
engine and usually between the linux/pron/make-money-fast stuff, the
answer will be more than likely be there, and if not, there is probably
a forum somewhere to go to next.
Next, if nothing is working, get something working. Even if it's just a
little something. Each time you get something working, you can learn
just a little more... you can try not to make the same mistakes or go
down the wrong paths in the future. Best of all, you can document your
path to share with others, if you are so inclined.
Finally, and this is the part the list will not like -- don't worry a
lot about all the assholes out there who think they're god's gift to
whatever they think they're god's gift to. As I said in one of my other
posts -- it seems to me that many newbies get one little clue and then
they try to cash that in as often as possible. Yes, we'll be grateful
when you learn about the UNIX path, but for the other newbie who tears
you a new one because [s]he learned about the path LAST week, don't
sweat it.
Hello,
the users of my server have to use user@domain as
username with their passwords when checking their
mails. I wonder if that is the default config of qmail
or can be changed ? I'm trying to make it so that they
just use username and password instead of user@domain
as username. The previous guy who did it didn't leave
any docs and I'm relatively new to this. Any help is
greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Sounds like you may be using vpopmail as an addon for qmail. It adds

We got your first message just fine, no need to keep sending it over and
over again.
To setup an SSL wrapper around UW's IMAP server I suggest you go to
stunnel.org and read the documentation.
It is, ofcourse, probably worth mentioning that any security you gain from
using SSL connections you're going to circumvent by using something as
poorly written as UW's IMAP server. There's every indication that that
the programers at UW just don't give a damn about security. I suggest you
look into courier-imap instead, provided that it's Maildir-only nature
doesn't interfere with your plans.

I believe errno.h is part of the kernel source tree. I'm going to guess
that you are using RedHat and did not install the kernel-devel package,
which includes all the kernel header files...

If you installed kernel-headers before kernel-source (which makes sense,
since kernel-headers is a prereq for kernel-source), you broke the symlinks.
Do a ``rpm -Uhv --force kernel-headers-2.2.16-3.i386.rpm'' and the symlinks
magically reappear.
This is a (RedHat) bug, not a feature.

I'm using a FreeBSD 3.4 and qmail . I put FreeBSD quota to each
home dir of my users in order to deny large amount of files , because I have
a FTP server in the same machine . My problem is that when I turn on the
quotas , the qmail doesn't receive the emails to the users so , the emails
return . If the emails have a size smaller than the quota , it return too .
Does anyone could help me please ?

At the time the problem occured, i tried to compile the kernel and it
failed!
Then, i gave up! One day after i could do it (compile de kernel and
stress the qmail) but the problem did not occur again!
It's very strange! I could make world+make buildkernel+stress qmail
without any problem.

Sounds suspiciously like either buggy hardware or a power problem.
Do you have the system plugged into an online power conditioner? What
else is plugged into the circuit the computer is plugged into?

hi,
there r bugs, in qmail + 1 in freebsd (at least for 3.x)
check ipme.c in the qmail source it allocat a 256 bytes buffers
and use it in a structure for an ioctl call to freebsd to get some
information from the network interface.
first the 256 byte buffer is arbitrarily allocated (first bug)
then freebsd trash the memory located "behind/above" this buffer
this buffer is not large enough if you have too many ip aliases
even though the length of the buffer is declared in the structure
(freebsd bug)
for me it crashed qmail-remote and qmail-smtpd (/var/qmail/control) database
problems.
I increased the buffer to 512 bytes and it solved the problem
[it's not clean but it worked for me]

The TO: field of the forwarded e-mail should be the address that you are
forwarded mail for.
In the header of the message you should see a second Delivered-To which

I installed the qmail
but it have problems ...
I don't know if my configuration is ok ,,,
the qmail stat show me this:
qmail-pop3d: up (pid 29894) 4 seconds
qmail-send: up (pid 26235) 1852 seconds want down

Why is this?
How restart the qmail-send, because with "qmail restart" it is ignored
My configuration of the files /var/qmail/control are here:

I asked this earlier and received no response so I thought I'd ask
again.
Does anyone know of a different link dealing with qmail and cyrus. The
link on David Sill's LWQ is no longer valid.

I still have the code kicking around somewhere, but
it's for an out of date version of cyrus. I can
dig it up for you if you like, but you'll
definitely have play around to get it to work
with the newer versions of cyrus.
I have switched to using courier-imap.
Just drop me a line privately and I'll
send you a tarball if you're still
interested.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
QMAIL-CYRUS HOWTO
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jason van Zyl
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
16 Jun 1999
$Id:$
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This document is a simple outline of how to get qmail to work cooperatively
with the Cyrus IMAP server.
This document is based on a version of the Cyrus IMAP server that has been
patched to authenticate from a CDB database. The method outlined should work
with other authentication mechanisms, but I have only tested the method with
CDB authentication. I figured why use a closed-system IMAP server and
then have to add entries to /etc/passwd.
Some other notes of caution: the setup is RedHat centric, I've made two
RPMS, a cyrus RPM and qmail RPM, that I use to set the system up. Also I
only have 40 people who need mail in my organization so I have no idea how
well the system would hold up under a load. If there was any sort of
bottle neck it would be with the scripts that I have written to bridge Cyrus
and qmail.
The first problem I will try to rememdy by making a tarball
of the Cyrus package, the patch that I've made to authenticate via a CDB
file, and the bridge scripts. There really isn't that much to it, and really
you could probably get a system working with the standard Cyrus/qmail
tarballs and the bridge scripts provided here. It's just that the scripts
all have hard-coded paths in them because the RPM puts them where I use
them. I would eventually like to make a little configure script with
autoconf that would do all the path substitution but I haven't done that
yet. So be warned, all the scripts included have hard-coded paths. The RPM
spec file which encapsulates all the building and installation instructions
is just a shell script so I will try to turn it into a little stand-alone
installation script.
This document assumes that you have a pretty good understanding
of how qmail works.
Here's a basic description of how the system works, I have scripts to
automate all this, but I figure it's good to show how things are done
manually.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Delivery of mail from qmail to Cyrus
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
For each user, place an entry in the users/assign file like so:
=compusense-com-jvanzyl:cyrus:76:12:/mail/cyrus/imap:::
This tells us that qmail will look at the .qmail file in /mail/cyrus/imap to
find out how to deliver mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Here's what that .qmail file looks like:
|/mail/cyrus/imap/qmail_deliver_wrapper $LOCAL
This little line contains a reference to a script that will do some parsing
of $LOCAL (where in this case $LOCAL = compusense-com-jvanzyl), try to
deliver
the mail to the users Cyrus mailbox, and translate Cyrus' exit codes to
qmail
exit codes so that qmail is happy.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Using the RPMS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Right now the RPMS work on a RedHat 5.2 system. I compiled the RPMS on 5.2
system but I have used the RPMS on a 5.1 system. The RPMS will probably work
on a 6.0 system, but I'm not sure if they would compile. I've been having
glibc 2.1 problems, for some unknown reason glibc 2.1 moved around standard
header files. They must have had a reason but it doesn't make compiling my
standard RPMS very much fun.
If you use the RPMS on a 5.1/5.2 system you should have no problems. There's
a bunch of scripts for adding users, archiving, and testing the system.
But you'll have to make your own inetd/tcpupsi entries because I use xinetd
for all my servers.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Files of note in the RPMS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
.qmail
The default .qmail has two lines:
|/mail/cyrus/imap/qmail_deliver_wrapper $LOCAL
|/mail/cyrus/imap/qmail_deliver_wrapper ${LOCAL}_archive
The first one is normal, but the second is for placing a copy of the message
in an archive mailbox. As mentioned before I don't have a lot of users so
this isn't very expensive for me. But possibly not something you want to do
at a larger organization. Just remove the second line if you don't want
archiving.
---
add_mailuser
This is used to add the administrator, normal user mailboxes along with
the corresponding users/assign entry, and archive mailboxes.
Examples:
1. This tells the system what the cyrus administrators username and password
are. No mailbox is created.
add_mailuser --username=cyradm --password=cyradm --cyradm
2. This tells the system that the user jvanzyl has the password jvanzyl. The
users.jvanzyl mailbox is also created.
add_mailuser --username=jvanzyl --password=jvanzyl
3. This tells the system to add an archive mailbox for the user jvanzyl. It
is called users.jvanzyl_archive. You still have to put in the --password
parameter. I have to fix the script.
add_mailuser --username=jvanzyl --password=jvanzyl --archive
---
add_mailuser_wrapper
This just takes a username and password and does 2. & 3. above.
---
build_password_cdb
Called by add_mailuser to build the CDB file that cyrus uses for
authentication.
---
cyradm_expect
Called by add_mailuser to create Cyrus IMAP mailboxes. It's basically
a little chat script using expect. I would like to replace with a perl
script that sends IMAP commands directly to the server. Then you don't need
Tcl, which I'm not very fond of.
---
qmail_deliver_wrapper
This is the command used in the cyrus .qmail file to deliver mail from qmail
to cyrus.
---
test_deliver
Script to test a users mailbox to make sure it's functioning properly.
Example:
test_deliver [EMAIL PROTECTED]
---
test_deliver_all
Script to test all users' mailboxes to make sure they're functioning
properly.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some problems
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have found that aliasing users is a little cumbersome. Say I want ngenner
to get mail for jvanzyl: I have to remove the entry for jvanzyl in
users/assign and create a .qmail file in the qmail/alias directory. As I've
mentioned before I don't have many users to deal with so this doesn't happen
that often.
Maybe the fastforward package might be better.
Or I was thinking of making a mechanism that would take care of aliasing
within the qmail_deliver_wrapper script with a slight alteration of the
users/assign entry. Consider the folling line:
=compusense-com-jvanzyl>>ngenner:cyrus:76:12:/mail/cyrus/imap:::
This would indicate to the qmail_deliver_wrapper to shunt all mail for
jvanzyl to ngenner. This would work for internal users, but is not so
elegant for bumping mail back to the outside world. I supposed you could
qmail-inject it but that seems kind of silly.
Anyway, these are just ideas right now.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Future plans
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would like to make an LDAP authentication mechanism for Cyrus. I've heard
that there's a qmail-LDAP package somewhere, but I'm not exactly sure what
it does. I like LDAP because Samba will also use LDAP. I'm actually trying
to make a system where there is a *universal* user. I enter them once in the
LDAP system and presto they have mail, news, can login from Linux, can login
from Windows machines. Right now I have to change things in too many places
and doesn't make for a very consistent system.
I would also like to make Cyrus use Maildirs! Then I would have to do any of
this mail delivery funny business! I've only glanced at the source and it
looks
possible but I haven't started anything in earnest.

You might want to try searching the archive, one of the places is
msgs.securepoint.com/qmail/ . There are other archive search sites at
www.qmail.org . I tried searching in lycos but it mostly pulled up
sites from the mailling list archive.

I got the virtual domain working, users in the virtual domain are able to
get mail as "user@virtualdomain". How do I stop the user from getting mail
assigned to "user@actualdomain"?
TIA
For some reason qmail-smtpd decided to stop recieving local mail delivered
from a remote host. I am able to send mail from the local domain to a
remote domain (the machine I am sending mail from in both cases is a remote
machine)
I have not made any changes to either /etc/tcp.smtp or to rcpthosts.
Defaultdomain, defaulthost, locals, and me all contain the correct
information and have not been modified.
this is the transaction information when I send mail from
[EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
tcpserver: pid 32442 from 64.83.0.22
tcpserver: deny 32442 www.graycastle.com:210.228.3.165:25

this is my qmail-smtpd/run file.

We need to see the actual domain names, along with the full output from
qmail-showctl. Also "qmail-smtpd decided to stop receiving" is a bit
vague. What happens? Are any errors generated during the smtp exchange
or written to the logs?

It looks to me like your configuration would work, although it IS a
wide-open relay. The key here is this (all together now):
What Do the Logs Say? (tm)
The logs are your friends, so I would highly recommend you start doing
some logging. Whether you use DJB's multilog or splogger doesn't really
matter. Splogger would probably be easiest to set up.
Anyway, there are so many things that can stop delivery that it would be
silly to attempt any more troubleshooting without any logs.
But you've GOT to fix that relay problem. The first time someone
portscans your network you'll be used as a spam relay, which will get
you listed in RSS, ORBS, RBL, etc. and you will find yourself unable to
send mail to most of the internet.

Logging is already setup using multilog. I just haven't figured out how to
read them. I downloaded a couple of utilities for reading them but the
documentation is a bit vague.
> But you've GOT to fix that relay problem.
I am using tcpserver/tcprules and only have a few IPs enabled for relaying
mail. From my reading it seems to me that should keep it pretty much
secure. I am working on implementing the POP to SMTP scheme.
Also sprach Gadoury <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on 14.09.2000:

in my view,
you need
:allow
:allow means you allow any IP to send mail for your rcpthosts to you
1.2.3.4:allow,RELAYCLIENT="" means the same plus you relay mail from
1.2.3.4 that is directed to other domains too.

I might be wrong on some points here but I *am* sure there is a
difference.
AFAIK, mounting 'sync' means any and all update-operations will go to
disk immediately, and the system call won't return until a write is
done. 'nosync' takes this guarantee away.
The fsync() calls only affect data (on ext2fs) and don't guarantee that
metadata is written. Mounting sync() does.
I hope this makes sense. I need more caffeine.
Greetz, Peter.

That's what 'asyns' does (it's the default). I thought there was also
a 'nosync' option, which effectively turned sync()/fsync() calls to
noops. My manpage is silent though; I may have invented the
'nosync' option subconsciously. :-)

Hmm. From man mount on FreeBSD 4:
async All I/O to the file system should be done asynchronously.
This is a dangerous flag to set, and should not be used
unless you are prepared to recreate the file system
should your system crash.
noasync
Metadata I/O should be done synchronously, while data I/O
should be done asynchronously. This is the default.
sync All I/O to the file system should be done synchronously.
Greetz, Peter.

Hi,
there are two packages on the net fulfilling my needs - vmailmgr and the
inter7 suite.
Could one say that one of the two is "better"? So fare I use the "Bruce
Guenther way" for virtual mailusers but not his package (only "natural"
qmail) and I am really satisfied.
Now I need to choose one of the two tools but I am not sure which would be
the better choice for my purpose. It would be great if someone could give me
a hint, I need the following things:
virtual users
databases for users and aliases
pop access
imap access
quota support
html-mail-administration
webmail
I did not see webmail in the vmailmgr package, does sqwebmail run with the
vmailmgr without problems?
Thanks in advance for any advice which of the two I should use
Clemens
