Well, I like oMail because its simplitty. I worked a little to improve
its qualities and I attached to this email an archive with my omail.pl
modified for showing the total and used space reserved for an user
(I grab those informations from repquota utility for RedHat Linux)
and a script in Perl, passwdchg.pl, based on the structure of omail.pl,
which I am using to gain user access for changing their passwords
whenever they want. I hope that 'goodies' could be helpful for someone
else.

Ravi,

Perhaps the simplest way of implementing a webmail utility is
to have a system that doesn't have direct access to a user's
Maildirs, instead accessing mail via POP3 as another "client".
There are a number of such solutions out there. Given that
they work on a POP3 level, you can choose any of them -
they don't have to have anything to do with qmail.
This approach then splits into 2 types: Those that download
all (your) mail from the server to a local store, then tell you
what's in your mailbox, and those that keep your mail on
the server, downloading/deleting mail as required. The former
gets horrendously complex (the reason it's done is so that
additional functionality like a "Sent Mail" folder and "Address
book" can be added); the latter is relatively simple, and
appropriate if your webmail needs are relatively unsophisticated
(you just want people to be able to pick up their mail when
on holiday etc.).
My reason for raising this possibility is that with a POP3-based
approach, you know that the only software accessing your
mailstore is qmail (SMTP) going in and qmail-popup/pop3d (POP3)
going out. If you have a good *simple* POP3-based system that
doesn't store any users details separately from the mail server
(i.e. the "latter" type), you
may have a greater confidence that you have a secure system.
Such a system can live on the mail server itself, or on a separate machine.
cheers,
Andrew.

OK How do I tell QMail to forward to the other server.

hmmm... we use imail ver5.0x
this version has a funktion called 'peering with other mailserver'. with
that, you can catch all mails on the imail-box and it will forward all
unknown mails to the peer-server (your qmail-server).
we plan to move all our mailsserver to qmail and must move somewhat about
10.000 domains with maybe 50.000 accounts.

i think, it would be better to move all accounts in one night to the
qmail-box, delete the accounts and the domains on the nt-server and set a
entry in the hosts-file on the nt-server that points to qmail.

/var/qmail/doc/FAQ
4.1. How do I forward unrecognized usernames to another host? I'd like
to set up a LUSER_RELAY pointing at bigbang.af.mil.
Answer: Put
| forward "$LOCAL"@bigbang.af.mil
into ~alias/.qmail-default.
Hope it helps,

Hiya,
I have a qmail server that is running on a Sun Netra T1
(solaris 2.6). Its receiving about 300-500k emails per day.
Unfortunatly it appears to be dieing a VERY quick death.
The IO loads on the disk are huge and I need up performance
quite a bit. The cpu and memory are fine but disk io is killing
me. I was think about a couple possible solutions and I wanted
your input (since you are qmail experts - at least compared to me:)
1. add a disk/filesystem for each queue subdirectory to reduce
io load
or
2. create a 1+0 raid of at least 5 drives per stripe, and place
the entire queue directory structure on this raid filesystem.
If possible I will veritasfs instead of ufs for the filesystem
and an a1000 to hold the drives (hardware raid).
Which do you think would improve performance better?
Has anyone done this type of hardware evaulation when it
comes to qmail? What have you done for your large scale
qmail setups?
Any input would be greatly appriciated..
Thanks.. Mike

Consider getting a solid-state-disk type device. I use the "Xcelerator"
product from Seek systems (www.seek.com), it seems to work very well.

I'm not sure you can do that--I seem to remember something about the
way qmail moves stuff around that requires everything to be one
filesystem. But even if you could do it, it would be inferior to
putting the queue on a RAID because the I/O to the various queue
subdirectories won't be evenly distributed, whereas RAID I/O will.

In addition to the other input you've received, you may want to do one or
more of:
-ensure /var/log is on a separate spindle than /var/qmail/queue, possibly
even different controllers
-use 15kRPM spindles for your queue disk(s)

Hello,
A new customer wants to receive a notification in his pager or cell phone every time he receives a mail, with information like the sender and subject of the mail. Any idea about how can it be done? I only would know how to send a copy of the entire mail to his cell phone through email...

This can be done using procamail or maildrop in connection with an
email2sms tool of your choice (http://freshmeat.net/search/?q=sms). It's
got nothing to do with qmail, though.
I get mail via uucp. The "From " header looks like:
From somplace.com!someone ...
and qmail adds the domain:
From [EMAIL PROTECTED]
and then adds a:
Return-Path: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
header. But qmail can not bounce mail to that address.
Is there a work around for this?
Thanks,
John

Hi everyone,

Hi all.
I am a beginner qmail user
and I have a problem on managing bounce messages
that i'm not able to resolve.
As you well know, when qmail receives a mail for
xxx@my_domain, and xxx doesnt exist in my_domain, qmail reply with a defined
message to the sender (Hi, this is the......).
What i need is qmail to look if xxx is in a data base (but
keeps no e-mail address on my_domain); if it is, then qmail must send a bounce
message, with a "specific message" to the sender (not the default message; for
example: xxx does not still activate a mailbox in my_domain, .....); if not,
i.e. if xxx is unknown to my_domain and to my DB, then qmail must reply to
sender with the default bounce message.
please help
thanks

The easiest way is to create a .qmail-default for my_domain and put
|bouncesaying `script_to_create_message`
in it. That script would look up the database looking for $DEFAULT
and print the right message on its stdout; Perl might be the tool.

ok, i'll try.
But how can i tell qmail to send or not the default-failure-notice when the
script finishes? i imagine i can use different exit codes for my script,
that allow me to skip (or to execute) default bouncing, isn't it?

Yes. `man qmail-command` for more details.

Yes, adding the following line to rc.local should do the trick:
/etc/rc.d/qmail start

The script is probably is DOS format. See:

That usually means the remote host (gxm.net) is having trouble.

The "solution" is to relax, don't worry, and let qmail do its

And, if you used rpms, also rpm -e qmail.
You may also want to check which dirs under /var/qmail just are

How are you sending the messages from host2? Are you going through
host2's MTA, or talking directly to host1 via smtp? How long is it
taking to inject the 2500 messages?
On host1, What Do The Logs Say? (tm) Any clues as to why deliveries
aren't happening faster? What's the typical delay between receipt of a
message from host2 and local delivery?

Create a .qmail file that has a comment and nothing else. You need
a .qmail file with no delivery instructions, but empty (zero-sized) or
non-existent .qmail files cause the default delivery to take effect.

In the relevant .qmail file, simply have a single line (or more) of
comments:
#
# This file contains only comments. As there are no delivery

Yes, lots of people do. The manpage for dot-qmail tells you everything you
need to know. Hint: a delivery control file containing nothing but a
comment will work.

Charles, I think you're being rude. There's nothing wrong with cc'ing
directly. I often do it when asked, and sometimes when I'm not, so I can
insure the recipient gets the message, as I have with this message. Some
people prefer it this way.
Hello Everyone,
I'm new to Linux so please bare with me. I'm running Linux 6.2, qmail 1.03,
vpopmail 4.9.2, qmailadmin 0.35, sqwebmail 1.0. I have everything installed
and configured. I am able to send mail and receive it via pop3 to a local
user. The problem that I'm having is I created a virtual domain called
medstudents.ucsd.edu, I also created a virtual user called deeznutz with
qmailadmin I see the user it created in
/var/vpopmail/domains/medstudents.ucsd.edu/deeznutz, but when I send a
message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] it get stuck it the queue and not
delivered to the users Maildir.
This is my /var/qmail/supervise/qmail/qmail-pop3d/run

Both of these users are virtual users only egreer is a local. If I send

Please help me shine some light on this I'm up against a deadline.

It would work but it's a woefully inefficient way to do it. Especially
as qmail comes with a mechanism to do just this - /var/qmail/bin/forward.
~alias/.qmail-user1 contains:
| forward `some_script_that_generates_new_addess(es)`
See the man page.

An additional no for an ISP would be liability. If you're virus scanner
failed to pick up something and a users drive was destroyed, big problem.
Heck, some people would blame the ISP even if they got the virus from a
friend.
Better to not even try, then try and fail.

This could also be seen the other way round - invasion of privacy,
messing with users' mail. This is ofcourse heavily dependent on the
actions taken upon finding an infected message.

Hello,
I was wondering if there was any way to restrict access to certain
/var/qmail/alias/.qmail-* lists. What I mean is that I have a
.qmail-all list but only want people from a certain domain to be able to
send to it. Is this possible?
Thanks for any response,

Add
| bouncesaying "4 legs good 2 legs bad" checksender "$SENDER"
on top of your .qmail-all.
checksender is a shell or Perl or awk script which checks the
domain part of SENDER and returns TRUE (0) if the domain name
is incorrect.
Please note that forging $SENDER is trivial.

Either write something snazzy that uses the bouncesaying program
(see man bouncesaying) or make it a mailing list (with ezmlm for

Sure. It's also been asked plenty of times before on this list, in your .qmail
file simple have a single comment line, eg:
echo '#' >.qmail
Job done.

hi,
I have a *very* weird problem with only one of the many virtualdomains
I am hosting with qmail+vmailmgr. The machine doesn't accept SMTP
connections deliveries for v-users of e-transurban.com.
The error qmail reports when rejecting *remote* messages is [from the
bounced message]
----
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
200.16.153.4 does not like recipient.
Remote host said: 550 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... User unknown
Giving up on 200.16.153.4.
----
I can read exactly the same in the maillogs on the server from which
I'm testing. It seems that the receiving qmail smtp daemon doesn't log
the failed connection attempt, nor its reason for rejecting the
connection.
Sending a mail locally to the very same virtual accounts, using `mail
[EMAIL PROTECTED]` does work though.
I have a .qmail-default for the v-domain looking like:
---
&[EMAIL PROTECTED]
|/usr/local/bin/vdeliver
---
and e-transurban.com is in both rcpthosts and virtualdomains. The DNS
settings seem to be allright, and I can confirm I'm connecting to the
right server (the IPs match). Other virtualdomains are working allright
and the very same domain works fine locally.
I've checked and re-checked the DNS, and doesn't seem to be there. The
only suspect I still have is checkvpw ... may be it doesn't like dashes?
Do you have a clue? ... i don't :[

That would be qmail-qmqpc that would be reading that, not qmail-inject.
Recall that on the sending side, qmail-queue is replaces with the qmqp
equivalent and qmail-inject is non-the-wiser.

I don't think your problem is realated to the server-side, the mail
isn't getting that far.

And give us a syscall trace of qmail inject, it's only 44 lines of output

I think that is probably because your mail server never recieved
an SMTP connection.
Look closely at that log snippet, and then think about how qmail
accepts _all_ mail destined for a local or virtual domain (unless
blocked by badmailfrom). qmail does not output "User unknown" during
an SMTP conversation. Now, you gotta love sendmaul, because it spits
out "User unknown" in its bounces even if the remote mail server said
something completely different (I can never remember why it does this,
I just know in my mind that it's brain dead), so don't pay any
attention to it.
I'm a bit confused as to why his sendmail program decided to bounce
the mail outright; probably a local misconfiguration of some sort.
The delay and xdelay stats show no delay at all in accepting and
attempting delivery to you. Sendmail *never* does anything in less
than a second ;-)
Besides, I just did this:
220 wndrgrl.goldblatt.net ESMTP
HELO coinet.com
250 wndrgrl.goldblatt.net
mail from:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
250 ok
rcpt to:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
250 ok

Hey All,
Just started to implement open-smtp4 package from
Russel Nelson.
Everything seems fine, I patched checkpassword,
installed tcpcontrol, the \etc\smtp.filter.newer file is getting
updated.
However, (there is always a however) my remote
users still can't send mail after authenticating to the mail server and
receiving mail. I can see their IP addresses in smtp.filter.newer and I've
experimented with them using different MUA's still no luck.
Any ideas where to look for possible
problems?
Thanks,
-=Andy

Is there a way to customize the bounce messages on virtual/separate domains
so that they don't identify themselves as the "me" domain?
I have two domains on the box and I need the bounce message from each domain
to be specific to that domain.

Nope. A virtualdomains entry that doesn't specify a local part
("something@") automatically matches all local parts.

That all looks good. What happens when you send mail directly to wkb?
Read the qmail-getpw man page carefully--especially the part about
the requirements qmail places on accounts (e.g., not uid 0, owns home
directory, etc.).
-Dave
Bingo!
root@gandalf:/home > ls -al
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 1024 Sep 22 22:17 wkb
root@gandalf:/home > chown wkb wkb
root@gandalf:/home > chgrp nofiles wkb
--> That's it! Now it works as it should!
Many thanks, Dave!!!

Anybody figure out how to support authenticated SMTP?
My first try:
Added one line to "services" :
asmtp 26/tcp amail
Added one line to "inetd.conf" :
asmtp stream tcp nowait root /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup qmail-popup lists.kz \
/usr/bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
Then set my email client to use port 26 for sending, all I get is:
-ERR authorization first.
I get the same error whether I use a valid or invalid user/password.
Any better ideas as to how the authentication protocol is supposed to work?
This was obviously a blind guess at it. ;-)
Take care,
Ron

There are at least two different approaches: one is to wrap normal
SMTP with SSL using something like stunnel[1] and set it up on a
different (not 25) port. This is pretty straightforward with qmail
since the SMTP daemon is a standalone module. I'm not aware of any
detailed documentation on this configuration.
Another is to install the STARTTLS patch to qmail[2]. With this patch
installed, both secured and unsecured SMTP sessions take place through
port 25.
Which you can/should use depends upon which will work with your MUA's.

Hi there,
i've sucessfully installed qmail.
it's sending messages properly, but i'm facing a problem
when the user request to receive his messages (pop3 requisition)
the qmail returns the following message:
<this user has no $HOME/Maildir>
i've read the README.qmail-run, it says that you need to have
a file named /etc/tcprules.d/qmail-pop3d.cdb in order to make it work.
I don't know what's going on, i'd apreciate any help
Thanks in advance and best regards

just to make sure you have not missed something in your setup:
does the user have a directory called Maildir/ in their home directory?
if you have set qmail up to use Maildir/ each mail user will need that
~/Maildir/ where qmail would deliver the mails and where qmail-pop3d would
look for them.
for more info type
man maildir

>i've used the following command:
># maildirmake $HOME/Maildir
># echo ./Maildir/ >~/.qmail
does the # at the beginning of the line mean you did that as root?
if root types: $HOME
the variable $HOME is expanded to root's home directory which is /root/
so you most likely have created the maildir /root/Maildir
this is useless because root doesnt receive mail in qmail.
if you (as root) want to create a Maildir for a user called username
you have to type
# maildirmake ~username/Maildir
and then
# chown username ~username/Maildir
these are basic unix/linux file and user management commands ... and you
should know them and be able to use them.
make sure to read the qmail FAQ and the INSTALL file carefully.
and please keep the discussion on the list so that others can also follow
it and contribute.

hi,
I am still in a knot with this issue, but I'm starting to think
that
for the 'e-transurban.com' domain I should have something different
than:
e-transurban.com:transurban
to map to the 'transurban' user. Should the dash be encoded
somehow?

Guys:
I'm new to the list and like most newcomers to technical mailing
lists I join with the hope of getting some good technical tips for free.
Nothing wrong with this as even the most wizardly and guruish of
us have probably "been there, done that"?
But that said, I'm always sensitive to the fact that however urgent
my need for help might be, I'm a stranger importuning what might
be a closenet (excuse the pun (:>) group with questions that are
likely more annoying than intellectually challenging.
So sensitive soul that I am (:>, my personal policy for politeness
on new lists is to send an e-mail query, making it as detailed as
my ignorance allows, and making it as polite in tone as possible.
If I don't get an answer, I don't send out "Hey, I'm annoyed that I
didn't get an answer" type messages; instead I wait and read the
list, and hope for a gradual accretion of knowledge. I've deliberately
avoided asking for ccs in my own queries because the thought of
asking made me uncomfortable. Frequently though, folks that
answered my questions did indeed send those thoughtful ccs.
I'm very aware that on a new list I have no entitlements and that
nothing is owed me except what's owed to strangers generally in
civilized societies (like listservers).
I'm somewhat in the position, then, of the user that Charles gently
chastized.
>From that perspective, I don't really believe Charles was "rude".
It's somewhat annoying, even for the most helpfully inclined souls,
to be asked for things by strangers who don't ask in the spirit of
beholdedness.
I don't believe the user was all that rude either; just normally
preoccupied by a pressing problem (I've definitely been there) and a
little out of perspective with regard to others.
Sorry to be long winded. Hope the above makes sense.

I had someone put in a Linux Firewall with QMail as the Mail server.
Lately, I had lost their support and I am at a bit of a loss. The
problem that I have is that most of my company is on Microsoft
Outlook. Most or all of the employees are experiencing difficulties
in sending EMail. They attempt to send email, either locally or
remotely and get the message
There is No Transport Provider Available.
Sometimes I can send mail, sometimes I can't. I had removed The
Personal folders and accounts from individual computers and for a
time it seemed to repair it. But now everyone is doing it? I
starting to wonder if it is actually the QMAil. Where Do I start
looking there?

Do you see that crap under the heading "Mail Server Expects Addresses
to Be in Angle Bracket?" baahahaha. You have to put angle brackets
in there in order for Outlook to use them when speaking SMTP. What a
joke... and the rest is plain bull. No wonder 7 out of 10 tech
support calls regarding email are outlook users (and we give our
customers a CD with Netscape.. that says something).
sorry for the rant!
Aaron
I love to blame Microsoft for this problem as well. It just seems funny
that it is now happening to more than one person in the company. All of a
sudden, it's most of the people. This is why I am starting to wonder if
it's my QMAIL system not accepting the mail for delivery all the time.
What are other people using for EMAil on Win9x systems? Anything else
except Netscape?

We are in the process of setting up qmail for all of our clients. However
when the clients send mail the mail does not go through. I know I've seen
some similiar problems on the archives of the list. However I'm kinda at a
loss. I though qmail by default allowed mail to be sent through if the mail
was from a valid domain on the server. Am I wrong in assuming this? If so
what do I need to do to fix this situation.

Well in Outlook I get the standard
The message could not be sent because one of the recipients was rejected by
the server. Server Response: '553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of

In the qmail/control/rcpthosts I do have the domain of the person sending

rcpthosts controls domains you are willing to receive mail for, not from.
To allow a given client to relay, append ',RELAYCLIENT=""' to it's tcp
rule in the rules file from which you generate the .cdb file...on second
thought, please read the section on "selective relaying" in Dave Sill's
"Life with qmail".

Hi there,
What is your policy for double bounces?
Users come and go, and always seem to leave subscriptions open, and produce bounces.
Most of these bounces doublebounce.
Do you write to the postmaster of these domains? (Seems to have no effect. )
Or just blacklist? (and possible handicap other users?)
Or just accept the fact that return-addresses usually don't work?

the only difference I see in the log is that qmail-ldapsearch
puts a | in front of the search string.
The qmail-ldapsearch does not find anything.
I can send to local users and remote systems as described in
TEST.deliver
is this a problem with netscape or with qmail-ldap or me???
we are currently useing netscape messaging server, but I want to move to
qmail.
should I use OPENLDAP???
does anyone have qmail-ldap working with solaris??
are there any good docs on how to install qmail-ldap besides that which
comes bundled.
thanks for any help

I have just installed Qmail for the first time on my SOLARIS 8 x86 box ...
:) I was happy ... I got it to receive mail from my virt domain and put it
in the proper mailboxes :) I was Very happy! ... I tried to send mail from
my win2k to a friend on the internet and Eudora told me that it could not
send my mail because "domain was not in the rcpt hosts file."
I found http://cr.yp.to/qmail/faq/servers.html#authorized-relay so I set
that up ...
IT WORKED!!!! :) I was VERY happy.
Then I noticed I was not receiving any mail :0 ... I was SAD :(
It was all sitting in /var/qmail/queue for some reason ...
Could someone enlighten me as to what I am doing wrong...
Here are my config files ... Edited for anonymity ...
/var/qmail/control/defaultdomain:
domain.net
/var/qmail/control/defaulthost:
domain.net
/var/qmail/control/locals:
host.domain.net

/var/qmail/control/plusdomain:

/var/qmail/control/rcpthosts:

/var/qmail/control/virtualdomains:

/etc/init.d/qmail:

/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1 | /var/qmail/bin/splogger
smtpd 3 &
echo "qmail starting"
fi

Any Ideas ???

heh.. what the heck good do you think this does? Might at well
say:
Here are my config files ... Deleted for security ...
/var/qmail/control/defaultdomain:
[censored]
/var/qmail/control/defaulthost:
[censored]
Anyway, what do you see in your log files? If the messages
are in your queue, then the mail logs will tell you *why*
they are still there.

There are no entries in the log files ... I checked that ... The messages
are in /var/qmail/queue/mess/?? (??=somenumber)
The message headers are in /var/qmail/queue/todo ...
The way I displayed my files makes perfect sense syntax wise! You can see
if I should have more or less info entered in them. :)
TIA
Ted

No entries in your logs, at all? You need to fix your mail logging
then. Without logs you'll be scratching your head for weeks.

OK, you should have a hundred more entries of "example.com" in them.
That still doesn't tell us if you have the *correct* stuff in there,
but if they are in your queue already it's probably a moot point. You
need to figure out why the messages are being deferred, and only
qmail-send's log files are going to tell you without unneccessary
steps like using strace. When you have your next mail emergency,
you'll be thankful you took the time to get proper logging.

Control SMTP relaying based on envelope sender address by Chris Johnson
functionality question.
Would this patch work with virtualdomains. If it does can I allow relaying
from other domains that are not hosted on my qmail server?
Thank you for your help

I am having trouble finding CYCLOG... I've searched Freshmeat.net and come
up empty. If it comes with a particular package, which package? And if
(on the odd chance) I have already installed that package, where would I
find CYCLOG on the average system? Thanks.

It's been replaced by multilog, which is part of Dan's daemontools
package. See <http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html>.
