Hi P.Y. Adi Prasaja,
(forgive me, I wasn't sure how to call you without being rude :)

It worked like a charm! Thank you.
(whew, sleepless nights are over now)
I did consider doing what you mentioned above but at this
point was too tired from extensive reading of kernel related
stuff ;) brain -> oatmeal -> yuk!
Anyway, below is my setup, and what I did for the records:
linux kernel 2.2.17
qmail 1.03
(install was accomplished by closely following lwq :)
+ localtime, DNS, big-todo, big-concurrency patches
changes in qmail configuration:
$qmailhome/control/concurrencylocal 500
$qmailhome/control/concurrencyremote 500
$qmailsrc/conf-spawn set to 1000
ucspi-tcp-0.88
daemontools-0.70
1. Inside the big-concurrency patch:
it said to modify
"/usr/src/linux/include/linux/tasks.h
NR_TASKS from 512 to e.g. 2048"
- directly quoted - which I did.
2. As P.Y. Adi Prasaja mentioned:
raised the __FD_SETSIZE value in
/usr/include/bits/types.h
from 1024 to 2048
3. Just to be sure:
raised the __FD_SETSIZE value in
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/posix_types.h
from 1024 to 2048
4. As Peter van Dijk mentioned:
added -D__FD_SETSIZE=2048 to $qmailsrc/conf-cc
5. Edit conf-spawn:
change to 1000
6. make setup:
bingo!
no compile errors.
qmail is idling ok.
7. Change sources back to default value:
(incase I break something ;)
/usr/include/bits/types.h
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/posix_types.h
both back to 1024
I have not done any stress tests yet but it compiled
properly, and qmail-showctl reports the right numbers
so I think everything is OK now (fingers crossed).
I'm still wondering what will happen if descriptors reach a
level beyond the default (since the kernel is compiled with
default values).
Oh well, if my machine goes up in smoke you'll here from me...
Many many thanks for all your inputs.
cheers,
jamie
off to the races...

Well, thanks to some great help from this list, I got the alias thing
straightened out, and I'll be writing up some additional
documentation for the Mailman README.QMAIL document.
I thought I was out of the woods on this whole thing, since I can go
to my Mailman web page and subscribe, I get the confirmation
letter and I can look at the results via the web site which shows me
that the whole process worked.
BUT. (oh, yeah, there is always a BUT)...
People who do not host their mail on my system never recieve the
confirmation letter, and as such can never join the list.
Mailman shows their outbound letter as a bounce, but I can't
imagine all those users putting a bad email address in. My guess
is that qmail is refusing to relay for Mailman.
Is this a relaying problem? If so, what do I change in qmail to allow
these mails to go out?

Are you allowing relay from 127.0.0.1?

Could be, Dave. I had the same problem a few months ago, due to relaying
problems. (qmail wasn't relaying to localhost. Don't ask, I never bothered
to check what mailman was trying to do, but that solved the problem)

Oops, my mistake. I saw "mailman" but read "ezmlm". Thanks for
correcting me.

I'm not real familiar with qmail, but I did try this today...
I originally had in
~/control/locals
localhost
and now, I have
localhost
127.0.0.1
It didn't make any difference. Which file controls relaying
permissions?

Aha. It looks like you're not allowing relaying from anywhere at all.
Take a look at http://Web.InfoAve.Net/~dsill/lwq.html#relaying to set up
that part of qmail. Hint: It's not in any of the controls files. You'll
have to do it using tcp wrappers.

P.S. That relaying info is in a document named "Life with qmail". Very
good reading for qmail newbies. Also, try http://qmail.faqts.com

Well, something is not kosher here.
On my previous server, I installed and ran the mail system, but
when I put this new server out there, I installed Plesk, a remote
web and mail administration package, simply because the man I
am setting up this server for is nearly blind and has a difficult time
with command line interfaces.
Plesk installed qmail. I didn't have any choice, but I don't have any
particular problem with it, since when I configure mail via the Plesk
administration interface, it works just fine.
Plesk allows open relaying, pop'n'drop relaying and SMTP relaying.
I have chosen pop'n'drop relaying and SMPT for those who wish to
use it.
There is nothing in hosts.allow.
I'm not sure how they are doing it, but I assure you that this
machine relays for 20 minutes once you authenticate through pop.
I feel sure that this is my last obstacle with getting Mailman and
qmail working together, but I just don't get how they are setting up
the authentication.
In other systems I've admin'd mail on, I set it up so that when the
pop authenticated, it ran a rsh script sending the current users IP
to drac, which put it in a table with a timer and put it into the
authorization table. Then, drac would watch the timer and remove
the address after the time expired.
I suspect there is some mechanism going on like this in Plesk. Is
there a standard pop'n'drop mechanism in qmail?

qmail-send couldn't open /var/qmail/queue/info/4. Could be the queue
is corrupted (in which case, one of the queue checkers from
www.qmail.org might help) or your system is running out of file
descriptors or some other resource.

I would appreciate some help here.
I am running qmail as describe in LWQ. I have been running it successfully
for over 7 months with no problem (plus vpopmail, I might add)
When I came in this morning, the server was running very slow for no
apparent reason. After looking at a couple things, something just didn;t
seem right with qmail, so I decided to stop and restart it. Now, every few
seconds I get this:
supervise: fatal: unable to acquire qmail-send/supervise/lock: temporary
failure
supervise: fatal: unable to acquire log/supervise/lock: temporary failure
supervise: fatal: unable to acquire qmail-smtpd/supervise/lock: temporary
failure
supervise: fatal: unable to acquire log/supervise/lock: temporary failure
I never had this before. Can anyone help my diagnose and/or fix this?

How do the scripts start your daemontools?
Kill all supervise and svscan process. Check the permisssions of the
lock files which appear in the log files. They must be root owned.

This sounds right to me. Whenvever I had this problem it is because
supervise and related processes had never shut down properly.
ps aux | grep {supervise|svscan|qmail}
kill -9 them all

There is something like this in my ip-up file:
[ -x /etc/ppp/ip-up.local ] && /etc/ppp/ip-up.local $*
So I think that it should work. My ip-up.local file looks exactly the same
as yours. Maybe the problem is in the permissions of these two files
(and ownership too). I don't have any idea. Please, help me with this.

The [ -x ... ] is a test to see if your ip-up.local i executable. If it
is executable it will be executed. Have you made sure that it is?
The unix command to use to make it executable is:
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-up.local

Thank you very much. Now I understand why it didn't want to work.
Please excuse me my lack of knowledge, I've just started to learn linux.
Thanks one more time,

Hi,
I'm using the qmail with the holdremote patch. I've tried to delete a
message in qmail:
1) echo 1 > /var/qmail/control/holdremote
2) /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail hup
3) rm /var/qmail/queue/mess/20/18489 /var/qmail/queue/info/18489
/var/qmail/queue/remote/18489
4) echo 0 > /var/qmail/control/holdremote
5) /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail hup
The message is out of the queue, but I can see the following error message
in the error log a lot of times, 2 minutes in 2 minutes...
2000-09-18 13:28:15.062112500 warning: trouble opening remote/20/18489; will
try again later
What is wrong? What more should I do to remove a message?
Best regards,
Ari

It's always dangerous to delete stuff from queue without stopping
qmail-send. Seeding holdremote to 1 doesn't cut it. You should
have stopped qmail before deleting stuff.
Try to restart qmail now, to see if the problem goes away.

You are telling us, then, that there is no reference to message 18489
anywhere in the queue, but the program that reads the queue is printing
error messages about it?
I am scheptical.
Paste in some of the errors, and the output of /var/qmail/bin/qmail-qread.

No; you may only safely "time-out" a message by touch(1)'ing it
sufficiently into past (make it older than queuelifetime). qmail will
try to deliver it once more, and then bounce it.

I'm trying to set up an autoturn implementation we've been using to run
under svscan with all the other spiffy daemontools. The tcpserver
command that launches maildirserial and all that is running great, but
the log command is continually being restarted by supervise. I'm quite
confused, as the log/run script is virtually identical to the others I'm
using for qmail-smtpd, qmail-send, etc.
Anyway, here's the svscan directory structure I'm working with, with the
autoturn directory symlinked into /service, with the rest of my svscan
proggies:
------
amazhan [11:53am] # ls -ld /var/qmail/supervise/autoturn
drwx--x--T 4 root qmail 512 Sep 18 11:39 /var/qmail/supervise/autoturn
^
Sticky bit IS set...
amazhan [11:54am] # ls -lR /var/qmail/supervise/autoturn
total 3
drwxr-xr-x 3 root qmail 512 Sep 18 11:46 log
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root qmail 225 Sep 18 11:39 run
drwx------ 2 root qmail 512 Sep 18 11:40 supervise
/var/qmail/supervise/autoturn/log:
total 2
-rw-r--r-- 1 root qmail 91 Sep 18 11:46 run
drwx------ 2 root qmail 512 Sep 18 11:47 supervise
/var/qmail/supervise/autoturn/log/supervise:
total 1
prw------- 1 root qmail 0 Sep 18 11:47 control
-rw------- 1 root qmail 0 Sep 18 11:30 lock
prw------- 1 root qmail 0 Sep 18 11:30 ok
-rw-r--r-- 1 root qmail 18 Sep 18 11:47 status
/var/qmail/supervise/autoturn/supervise:
total 1
prw------- 1 root qmail 0 Sep 18 11:39 control
-rw------- 1 root qmail 0 Sep 18 11:30 lock
prw------- 1 root qmail 0 Sep 18 11:30 ok
-rw-r--r-- 1 root qmail 18 Sep 18 11:40 status
------
And the actual "run" scripts:
------
amazhan [11:55am] # cat /var/qmail/supervise/autoturn/run
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -l amazhan -H -q -R \
-x /etc/tcprules/tcp.autoturn.cdb -u74 -g1001 0 1338 \
sh -c 'cd /var/qmail/autoturn;maildirsmtp $TCPREMOTEIP autoturn-$TCPREMOTEIP-
$TCPREMOTEIP AutoTURN' 2>&1
amazhan [11:55am] # cat /var/qmail/supervise/autoturn/log/run
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/setuidgid qmaill /usr/local/bin/multilog t /var/log/autoturn
------
According to the multilog docs, /var/log/autoturn shouldn't even need to
exist, as it will create it if it doesn't. But after it failed the
first time, I created the directory, owned by qmaill, with perms the
same as the other multilog directories (755).
What am I missing?
Thanks,
Ben

I'd rather see there drwx--x--t (ie. at least a --x for "other"); you see,
your multilog is run as qmaill and qmaill can't pass through
/var/qmail/supervise/autoturn.

Hi
I'm
trying to setup qmail in my computer. I followed TEST.deliver doc
and when I
try to do local-remote connection qmail says that
cannot_establish_connections_to_SMTP_server (#4.4.1)
Can someone help
me?
I also try to follow TEST.receive and when I do telnet 127.0.0.1 25
it
doesn't recognized commands MAIL and RCPT. I've followed the doc (HELO
DUDE, then MAIL me@domain ) but it says the MAIL is a "command
unrecognized". I've also
tried MAIL FROM, and it doesn't work. Can
someone tell me what is
wrong?
Thank you all
P.S.: I use
Linux Debian, and I still don't have a domain. I'm trying to install it using IP
addresses ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), then after
everything is fine I'll move the domain.

Are
you running qmail-smtpd?
Why
don't you paste us a log of your telnet, so we can see what it really looks
like?

Yes, qmail-smtpd is running.
There are two problems:
1. It cannot SEND mail. I've tried to send an
e-mail to an address and it says cannot_establish_SMTP_connection.
2. The Telnet test described in TEST.receive
doesn't work, because here is what happens (it's not copy and paste, so some
words might be wrong:)
# telnet 127.0.0.1 25
Connected to Telnet

> ??? ok

If this doesn't help, I will try to transcribe every word in the
telnet.
Just for information: running ./config didn't work, because I don't have a
domain name assigned to my IP number. So I used ./config-fast 192.168.1.20
. Will this work?
Thank you

Hi

Yep. It's telling you that you're not using the correct SMTP commands. It's not
saying that your installation is broken. The correct command syntax is:
MAIL FROM: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
RCPT TO: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Note how this differs from your commands?

That doesn't look at all like qmail-smtpd. "Comand" is misspelled, for
one thing. You should see something like:

Yes, qmail-smtpd is running.

Well, the TELNET problem was solved. It was just a
syntax problems. I should use MAIL FROM: [EMAIL PROTECTED] . I was missing the
":" after "MAIL FROM".
But I still have the problem with the
"cannot_establish_SMTP_connection" problem when trying to send a local-remote
mail.

How do I do that? I cannot use my domain, because I
will not receive e-mail until qmail is ok. Besides that, why can't I use IP

Are you able to telnet port 25 of other hosts in your localnet? And in
the internet?
Isn't this a firewall matter?

Sending test email at [EMAIL PROTECTED] is much easier than
sending test email to user@[1.2.3.4] in my
opinion. There is less typing. The way to do it is give your server
a fqdn of server.fakedomain.com and create a entry in your nameserver. As
long as you aren't interfering with any traffic going in or out you should be
ok. Use something like server.playboy.com. You users probably
shouldn't be sending email to there anyways ;)

That means qmail couldn't contact the remote site. That may mean you
have connectivity problems or that the remote site is down. If you've
verified that the remote site is up, the next logical step is to look
at your qmail-send logs and perhaps post a snippet here.

Hmmmm....I can connect to port 25 in my qmail server from another machine in
the local net. However, I can't connect to port 25 in the external host.

Use control/doublebounceto[1] to direct bounced bounces to a bitbucket
mailbox. E.g.:
echo # > /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-bitbucket
echo "&bitbucket" > /var/qmail/control/doublebounceto
Then restart qmail to get qmail-send to read doublebounceto.

Ok, now TELNET test is ok (I can receive mail in
qmail sending it by telnet local connect). However, I cannot send remote-local
mail.
My qmail server is under a firewall. I've set the
firewall to redirect mail packets (port 25) to qmail server.
However, when I send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (my IP address), I
receive a Undeliverable message, saying that "The recipient name is not recognized".
Can someone help me?
I've also tried to set a POP account in my e-mail
client, using my POP server as 200.201.34.197 (or even 192.168.1.20, my local IP
address), but the client cannot connect to server. Any ideas?
Thank you all

Qmail does not deliver mail to root, therefore you need to
make sure you have setup the qmail aliase file for root. I would recommend
testing using another user.
You need to set up a POP server to work with qmail. None
is installed by default.

I've set the alias creating .qmail-root in alias
directory, right? Anyway, I have .qmail-default set, so I should be able to
receive all messages, even if the user is wrong, right?
Regarding the POP server, thanks, I didn't do
anything about setting a POP server. I though it was made by default (well, I'm
really a newbie). Any HOWTO docs about doing that?
Thank you again

Is there any special action o SEND packets to Internet? I didn't knew about
that. Do I have to ask to firewall to accept sending mail packets? I though
I should only enable INCOMING of packets, and I though that the firewall
send any packets without restriction.

I've set aliases for root, postmaster and default. that e-mail was only an
example, I've also sent mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], which is a user
already created in Linux OS. Any way, having created "default" alias
shouldn't I receive all incoming mails, even to root?

Any of these outcomes are possible, but if the patches apply cleanly,

Possibly. That depends on how good of a programmer you are. :-)
Personally, I try to avoid all patches. Do you really *need* this

Believe me, I've been very tempted to blackhole .jp, .kr and don't forget
.co.uk or .it but then I realized, for the most port the spam originates
from the U.S. and uses an open relay in these countries to spam.
I think the long term goal is to educate the admins of these foreign
domains. A good way to do that is get them listed in RBL, RSS and DUL.
If sending to your domain is important to them, then they'll be prompted
to secure their relaying systems. If they do not secure them, then all
RBL/DUL/RSS users benefit.
Meanwhile, ISPs who catch their customers spamming could apply surcharges,
fines and labor costs to the spammers credit card. Sure, they'll never
collect, but the spammer won't have credit or a valid credit card to open
a new account elsewhere, and spam again. In other words, hit em where it
hurts.
... and remeber what the first W stands for in "www"

Greetings!
I'm in the process of converting from sendmail+mbox+imap to
qmail+maildir+imap. I'm using courier imap (since it understands
maildir) instead of the 'standard' imapd. Everything seems to be
working (mail sends, receives, etc.) and all is well on the IMAP side of
things as well ...
Here's the question: I have a large hierarchy of folders stored in my
old imap (mbox format) - what can I use to easily convert this into
maildir format?

Hi Filks;
I replaced sendmail with Qmail 1.03 and now SEndmail is sending too many
error messages from cron jobs trying to check the queue every 30 mins.
How to stop this madness?
I get this error email message:
cron: Sendmail: /usr/sbin/sendmail -q
illegal option --q

I think the cron file/setting is calling the new sendmail
binary included in qmail.
Check for all entries which call sendmail from cron and
disable it.
crontab -l will list all scheduled stuff.
If you find a sendmail entry, crontab -e will let you
edit the file, put a # and comment the sendmail entry
out, save&quit.
Recent linux distributions have the directories
/etc/cron.xyz
where xyz is hourly, daily, monthly (whatever).
Each directory has files in it which all get called from
/etc/crontab.
If you find the file that calls sendmail, then chmod 0
the file and you should be OK.
hope this helps,
jamie
ps
just to be curious,
did you disable all the old sendmail stuff and symlinks?

Hey,
I have a script that 'round-robins' email boxes for a high traffic account. It
basically cycles through a list of addresses. I can't seem to get it to work
properly though.
Doing:
&`scriptname`
doesn't seem to work.
I have also tried::
| EMAIL=`loadbalance.pl test`
echo $EMAIL > /tmp/sentto
&$EMAIL
which also fails.
Any suggests on how I can do this?

If you mean the big-concurrency patch, no. It changes the interface
between qmail-send on one side, and qmail-lspawn/rspawn on the other
side. You need to update at least these 3.
I'd go for a
- patch, make
- stop qmail
- make setup check
- start qmail

In that case, don't take any chances but rebuild the rpm's from the
SRPMS, including the patch along the way. My rpm knowledge ends with
that this is possible. Sorry :)

I just accomplished patching the big-concurrency patch and I
wouldn't mind helping out but I did everything from tar balls.
If its a stock linux, you may face some compiling errors like
I did. Luckily, I was guided from very generous people on this
list so I succeeded, and I wrote a follow-up that you could
search for in the archives, or I can send it if you want.
I run an RPM based LINUX also, but followed Life with Qmail:
http://Web.InfoAve.Net/~dsill/lwq.html
very closely and was up and running very quickly.

I thought RPMs were nice at the beginning, but after a

I grabbed the source rpm and just applied the patch to it and rebuilt it.
Works great.
Except, FD_SET is limited to 1024 descriptors. How do I change this? I
assume I can't just echo something into /proc... I want to be able to do
more than 509 concurrency.

I did succeed to raise the concurrency level to 1000,
but its an unofficial "dirty hack" and I can't be liable
for any damages but here's what I did:
(BTW, I am thinking of writing up a mini-howto)
This was originally posted to the qmail list at about
Mon, 18 Sep 2000 20:36:09 +0900 with the title :

but updated a little since I forgot to include some
more info.
Warning/Disclaimer:
This worked for me. I am not responsible if something breaks,
or causes any damage to everything or anything related to the
person following the steps below to modify their system and/or
qmail setup (or whatever...).

linux kernel 2.2.17
qmail-1.03
procmail rc file
(install was accomplished by closely following lwq :)
plus localtime, DNS, big-todo, big-concurrency patches
in that order
changes in qmail configuration:
$qmailhome/control/concurrencylocal 500
$qmailhome/control/concurrencyremote 500
$qmailsrc/conf-spawn set to 1000
$qmailsrc/conf-split set to 100
$qmailsrc/conf-cc set to cc -O2 -D__FD_SETSIZE=2048
ucspi-tcp-0.88
daemontools-0.70
1. Inside the big-concurrency patch:
it said to modify
"/usr/src/linux/include/linux/tasks.h
NR_TASKS from 512 to e.g. 2048"
- directly quoted - which I did.
2. As P.Y. Adi Prasaja mentioned:
raised the __FD_SETSIZE value in
/usr/include/bits/types.h
from 1024 to 2048
3. Just to be sure:
raised the __FD_SETSIZE value in
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/posix_types.h
from 1024 to 2048
4. As Peter van Dijk mentioned:
added -D__FD_SETSIZE=2048 to $qmailsrc/conf-cc
5. Edit the following:
$qmailhome/control/concurrencylocal 500
$qmailhome/control/concurrencyremote 500
$qmailsrc/conf-spawn set to 1000
$qmailsrc/conf-split set to 100
$qmailsrc/conf-cc set to cc -O2 -D__FD_SETSIZE=2048
6. make setup:
bingo!
no compile errors.
qmail is idling ok.
7. Change sources back to default value:
(incase I break something ;)
/usr/include/bits/types.h
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/posix_types.h
both back to 1024

Saw that someone posted a question about it last Friday, but it was
not answered. I searched through the archives for the answer, but could not
find it so I am going to ask again.
I got the QMAILQUEUE patch the other day so I could get scan4virus
working. When I tried running the patch on the qmail source, it failed out.
The first message claimed to have failed at like line 4883 or something,
even though the patch is only about 70 lines. I got the patch again by a
different method, just to make sure it did not get corrupted somehow, but I
am getting the same failure message. I deleted all of the message body from
the top of the patch at let it start with:
diff -u qmail-1.03-orig/Makefile qmail-1.03/Makefile
The first part fails when patching the Makefile:
Hunk #1 failed at 1483.
Next it tried to patch qmail.c
Hunk #1 failed at 6.
Could this be because I used the DNS qmail patch? If so, should I
untar the qmail source again, run the QMAILQUEUE patch and then the DNS
patch or will this not work? I don't want to waste the time trying this if
it won't work. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

when I run the script I get errors -u -g illegal option. I am not sure what
those options are doing, I took them out and replaced with -a that seem to
work.
2. Cannot telnet on the port 25 tried everything but it tells me connection
refused. Sendmail is gone so there is no port "sharing"
I found an error in the qmail log

Hello, all:
Hopefully this is worthy of a post to the wonderful qmail mailing list.
I have a machine that is behind a transparent proxy/firewall. The
address space behind the firewall is a class C private (192.168.) and
the machine in question (call it "hotcube") has a bogus hostname
("hotcube").
The firewall is port-forwarding to some internal services. At the moment
SMTP is not forwarded internally, but it will be when the MX records are
modified.
I am running qmail on hotcube in addition to Oracle Application Server.
The box is to provide e-mail for an office of perhaps 20 employees, so
it won't be pushed very hard. It will provide full e-mail service for
two domains:
originaldomain.com
and
virtualdomain.com
Here is where the problem starts.
The hostname is bogus. I cannot assign the firewall's true FQDN of
external.originaldomain.com to hotcube because the firewall cannot
forward internal requests through its external interface, which is where
the DNS record of external.originaldomain.com is pointing. So, I have
made /var/qmail/control/me be the FQDN of the firewall and added an
entry to /etc/hosts like so:
192.168.0.102 hotcube external.originaldomain.com
and added all of
originaldomain.com
external.originaldomain.com
hotcube
to /var/qmail/control/locals and /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts.
Okay?
Here's what I can and cannot do:
I can send mail to the big bad world.
I can send mail to local users using their actual usernames.
I *cannot* send mail to local users using their aliases (defined in
/var/qmail/alias). Even though the domain name is correct, the mail ends
up in the queue and an examination of /var/log/maillog reveals that the
qmail-send's attempts to make an SMTP connection are failing. So what
gives?
Why would
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
work, but
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
not work? The alias exists (/var/qmail/alias/.qmail-aliasuser).
If you need any more information... I'm sure you'll let me know =)
Thanks,

Hi everyone,
I'm working With Unix and Solaris and I'm insttaling Qmail.
When I send a mail to a local user and I open the /var/log/syslog, I
find that message
"delivery26.: failure :Sorry,_no_mailbox_here_by_that_name._(#5.1.1)/"
So I must create a Mailbox!
But I don't now how can i do that!
Thank you for Anser!
