Hi all.
I'm searching a method to limit pop3 mail account.
My users left many Mb messages on their pop3 account, and when they try to
download them, the connection was very slow and log.
Limiting their pop3 maximun storing account, i think all was good.
Any ideas?
Qmail have some add-on for this?

Well, there are two approaches:
1. Users are virtual and/or can't edit their .qmail files. You put
"|checkquota.sh" into their .qmail. This script checks size of mail,
size of mailbox and returns 0 for OK, 100 for refuse, 111 for try
again later. There's such a script on www.qmail.org.
2. You use filesystem quota.

You could use the quota mechanism (if there is any) of your operating
system. This has the disadvantage of rejecting mails when the limit is
reached.
I prefer to run a cleaning job that deletes mail older than a policy
defined maximum if a policy defined maximum of space is allocated.
This way the user is allowed to exceed the limit for a defined amount of
time and mails are normally not bounced.
The user should get a summary about deleted mails - these summaries should
never be deleted.

I check all double-bounces when I find time.
Spams are redirected to my spam-handling factory :-)
Postmasters not accepting bounces are LARTed.
Local users producing mail loops are educated.
Same for local users sending enormous mails.
Addressing problems are fixed.
The (small) rest is dropped.

This has answered one of my questions - it seems that from a commandline,
Qmail will automatically add '@mobiletones.com' while Pine needs to be also
told to do that? Is this correct?
My main concern is the top message - although currently
'office.mobiletones.com' doesn't exist, it will when I get this up and
running as the main server, however pluto.office.mobiletones.com will never
exist as it is an internal portforward from the machine
office.mobiletones.com - will this cause me problems in the future?
Thanks
John
Hi,
Can someone help me understand secondary mail servers? What do i do to
configure qmail to be a secondary server. I understand the DNS stuff
(server preference and stuff) and i have a two qmail servers (one
configured and working as a primary mail server for a domain.
Thanks.
Nick.

On the secondary, put the domains you want to be backup for in
/var/qmail/control/rcpthosts. Don't put anything in locals or
virtualdomains.
Perhaps some entries in smtproutes telling the box where to deliver mail
to, in case DNS is down.

Hey All,
I've 2 questions, the first is probably the more
interesting.
1) I'm trying to implement open-smtp.
Open-smtp uses a database generated by pop3 logins to set Relayclients
(among other things). I would also like to use a standard static database
of Relayclients in conjunction with this. How would I get remote mail
users to use the instance of tcpserver w\ dynamic database, and local
users\remote servers to use the other instance with the static database? I've
thought of setting separate ports in the tcpserver command lines maybe, or can
two databases be used with a single tcpserver command?
2) Open-smtp sometimes pegs the utilization on my
qmail server. Well, tcpmakectl is the process that pegs it, but when I remove
\pop3-record the problem goes away. It looks like smtp.cdb creation is
haywire, in one 2 minute stretch, nine \etc\smtp.cdb files had been created
and retired. Has anyone had this problem or know
why it might occur? Office has 80 users.
Thanks,
Andy

Don't. Keep a file with your static tcp rules in it, and another
(dynamically generated) file with the dynamic rules in it. cat them
together and run tcprules on them.
However, you could also avoid the problem entirely, and use the
excellent relay-ctrl package from Bruce Guenter, which does exactly this,
and works well. See http://em.ca/~bruceg/relay-ctrl/ for more.

Thanks for the advice Charles. I've looked in relay-ctrl and like what I
see, but I'm wondering is the "fixup address" piece what I would use for the
static relaying addresses I need? It looks like smtp.fixup gets mixed with
smtp.rules to make the smtp.cdb, but the whole concept of fixup addresses
has me stumped. I looked at the qmail FAQ, but am still not sure how "the
guts" of the fixup process shown there work.

fixup is a third piece of the puzzle -- it lets you send all mail from
certain clients through a script to "fix up" their broken email (wrong EOL
conventions in their implementation of SMTP, etc). It's not necessary to
use that part of it, but it helps in cases where you've got clients you want
to relay for who have very broken software, like old versions of Eudora or
Outlook on Windows.

Logs?!? What are logs?!? ;)
All is now well. It turns out that my rc file wasn't executable (mental note -
send a message and have that added to the install instructions!). That would
also explain the empty log!

I did a little research to find the true attribution of this phrase.
The first person to mention that it is a trademark was Dave Sill:
http://www.ornl.gov/its/archives/mailing-lists/qmail/2000/04/msg00272.html
There was a message that attributed a 1998 copyright to Dave Sill:
http://www.ornl.gov/its/archives/mailing-lists/qmail/2000/08/msg01417.html
The earliest message (on the qmail list) of someone saying "What do
the logs say?" was from Martijn Koster on 30 September, 1997:
http://www.ornl.gov/its/archives/mailing-lists/qmail/1997/09/msg01277.html
I checked Dave's lwq but didn't find that phrase. I'm not sure
where the 1998 copyright came from. In most of the messages that
attribute the trademark to someone, they attribute it to Dave.
Since he WAS the first to capitalize each word in the phrase and add
a (tm), I think he deserves the credit. :-)
So, how about this: Shirt front, small on right side: the qmail
dolphin with http://lwq.w3.to and/or http://qmail.org under it. On
the back, the dolphin (bigger) with this quote under it:
What Do The Logs Say?(tm)
-- Dave Sill, Life with qmail
(with various font sizes as appropriate)
Thoughts? Objections? Contentions?

Actually, it lets you control the number of simultaneous outgoing SMTP
sessions from a single IP address.
Also, tcpserver lets you limit the number of simultaneous incoming SMTP
sessions to a single IP address. But it won't attempt to drop connections,
or whatever, to throttle SMTP sessions from specific addresses.

I am trying to move to Qmail from Sendmail. My main server is at a
remote location, so I want my email to a machine on my local network.
It was working fine with Sendmail on both machines. I set up Qmail on

Probably because the contents of your dot-qmail are wrong. Could you
please post the contents of the dot-qmail that you are using for the
fastforward. It looks to me like there is a space at the beginning of
the line which I believe shouldn't be there.

If you aren't using any dot-qmail (as in a .qmail-something file) then
how is it possible that qmail is trying to deliver to:
< | /var/qmail/bin/fastforward -d [EMAIL PROTECTED]>
This looks suspiciously like you have placed a directive in a dot-qmail
file somewhere to pipe the mail to a program. As I suggested before, I

hi,
since i moved from sendmail to qmail i have no progress indicator when
popping emails with netscape messenger. i am running qmail-pop3d.
it isn't that necessary, but some customers would like to see the size
of incoming messages.
how to fix this ?

hi,
first of all read life with qmail by dave sill (
http://web.infoave.net/~dsill/lwq.html )- really excelent.
qmail delivers mail into a users maildir if in the homedir of the user is a .qmail
file with the entry ./Maildir/
the maildir MUST be created with ~/qmail/bin/maildirmake ./Maildir
su to the user and it will have the correct permissions and owners (btw: as root you
may do a maildirmake and create a .qmail file
in /etc/skel and useradd will do the whole thing for you)
[root@localhost]# chmod -R 755 /home/user/Maildir
these permissions are extremely wrong! - or would you allow everyone to read your
mails?
with tcp-server and checkpassword the start of pop3d may look like:
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver 0 110 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup myhost.mydomain.org
/bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir
| /var/qmail/bin/splogger pop3d &
the point is to give qmail-pop3d Maildir as a parameter so it knows where to look for
mails
hope that helps
;) a

We have a few users who are not getting any mail through Outlook. When you
look in their MailDir however there is new mail there. Has anyone seen this
type of problem? If so is there a fix for it?

We see this all the time. Typically there is a message in their spool
(.mail or whatever) that has non-standard or forged headers.
Using pine to view their mail, and deleting the spam should allow them to
retrieve the remaining messages with Outlook.

My problem is that all of a sudden, all my users in my office cannot send
mail from their outlook 97. I am not sure if all the Outlook 97's are gone
corrupt together or is my QMail server not responding as promply as Outlook
may like.
Other email programs seem to be working ok.

That's exactly why I did not order any. Well, that and the lack of
choice in colors.

there is allready a patch to qmail (by Bruce Guenter
http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/infosys/mail/qmail/www.qmail.org/qmailqueue-patch )
that allows programs to be "inserted" into the qmail-smtpd -> qmail-queue flow.

I've seen some offices have new mail delivered 'instantly' to their Outlook
users - I presume it's when done in conjunction with Exchange. That is, as
soon as the server recieves the e-mail, it is put in the user's folder and
they are notified with the little envelope (and annoying sound). I think it
works over NetBIOS.
Will it work via Qmail and a centrally-held POP3 store?
Just wondering.
Thanks
John
Not 'immediately'.
The users will be notified of their new message within the time interval
they have specified to poll the server. If they say every 10, they will get
the 'ding' within ten minutes. If they say every 1 minutes, they will get
the 'ding' within one minute.

Without knowing how it really works, that's hard to say. But if Excange
is simply sending a notification to the user to _check_ his/her mail, then
you would have to know how to simulate that notification from your mail
machine. If you could do that, then you could certainly write a simple
script to send that notification whenever new mail arrives.
Personally, just I have my MUA check the server every 10 minutes - most
MUAs will check as often as 1 minute. I don't really see much difference
between getting email notification instantly and getting it up to 59
seconds after it arrives.

Besides, the more infrequently you check mail the more efficient the
process is. People whose clients check their email every minute waste
every minute doing email.

Yes. You've omitted some of the log entries. A mail delivery starts with:
new msg ...
info msg ...
but you've not shown these entries.
Also, you need to show us the output of qmail-showctl and also tell us
which IP address you are sending from.
They are running postfix and it does not like either: the results of a dns
query on your forward/reverse or of the sender address or perhaps part of
what you're sending in the helo.

It is indeed. It's nice to see and it makes things a lot clearer - at least in
the sense of what we can exclude.
Your qmail setup looks fine. My *suspicion* is that they have some sort of source
IP based filtering going on, or possibly enforced reverse lookup tests. I tried
that same SMTP transaction from (obviously) different IP addresses and it was
accepted just fine (I rset before DATA).
Postfix interoperates just fine with qmail so it may need contacting the people
at FreeBSD.org to ask what is going on at their end.
Actually, on looking at the Postfix docs I see that they probably have
reject_unknown_client set in their configuration, which is documented as:
"Reject the request when the client IP address has no PTR record in
the DNS. The unknown_client_reject_code parameter specifies the
response code to rejected requests (default: 450)."
And your IP is in that category (thanks for telling us what it is, it made it
easy to check).
You have two choices. Get your ISP to add a PTR record for your IP(s) or convince
the folks at Freebsd.org that their config needs tweaking. It's a not uncommon
anti-UCE setting, but it's tough.
Regards.

Just to confirm -- Mark has probably hit the nail on the head with this
one:

IMHO, any competent DNS admin should _never_, _ever_ permit _any_
address he is responsible for to be answered NXDOMAIN for a PTR record.
This is just unacceptably sloppy DNS admin. Lots of DNS admins do it,
but then again lots of DNS admins run and like M$ DNS or BIND ;).
Grrrrrr. Incompetent DNS administration at this level really yanks my
chain...

I have more
than 500 users in a qmail server, wich are conected to Internet and to our
Intranet, but not all of them can have Internet access. So
how can I prevent some users from sending
and receveing any mail to/from any host other then localhost?
Thank's in advance

It must be (I think). No hosts are set as an MX

All boxes are running QMail. concurrencyremote is unset so defaults to
20. From the time I know there's messages being delivered to the time they
are finished there's nowhere near enough time for me to check how many
qmail-remote processes are running. Maybe there's something I don't know
about?
Thanks

Get serious Doug! How many times do people have to ask for:
a) A complete sample of the logs, not a useless subset
b) Unadulterated logs, not a useless cover-up
You've failed on both counts - thanks for wasting everyone's time.
If your logs are large, put them on a website and mail the URL to the list.
If you're took embarrassed to display your real logs, pay someone to sign
a non-disclosure and look at them for you.

And no one can help if you don't supply the real/complete logs.

I've set up a couple of qmail servers to act as relays, no local accounts
are being used. They accept mail from our internal exchange server and then
relay them on, or they accept mail from the Internet and forward them on to
our exchange server. However I want them to be able to transform the From
address for any outgoing mail that is being relayed. I understand I could do
this through procmail or through the use of the mess822 suite of utils, but
to do this I'd need to pass the mail through some sort of mail injection
program. How do I do this if these servers are just acting as relays and
therefore never using any sort of local mail injection??
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Paul.

Have a look at the qmail FAQ 5.5 or look at
http://cr.yp.to/qmail/faq/servers.html#network-rewriting
In any case it would be better to fix the problem at the source - why
can't you generate correct addresses in the first place?

hello Friends
is there any way by which i can safely copy the "var/qmail/queue "
( queued/deffered Mails) from one mechine running qmail-1.03 , on to
other mechine's queue /var/qmail/queue
which is also running qmail-1.03 ,
this may help ,in case of some major failure , where we can have
access to mechines terminal , but because of some problems some or all
of the qmail deamons may not be start sucessufully
Thanks & Regards

Let the second machine accept relaying for mails from the first.
Set :[ip-addr of second machine] in /var/qmail/control/smtproutes
on the first machine.
Then restart qmail and eventually run qmail-tcpok.
This assumes that qmail-send/qmail-remote still are workable and makes the
whole thing kind of pointless.
Transferring the files directly may(!) be possible when using the
queue-fix script from www.qmail.org. I never tried it.
Regards, Frank.
hello friends
I am running qmail-1.03 with ldap-latest-patch , on IBM AIX 4.3.3
,
there are around 200000+ users whose Mail attributes like mail
address , mailstore etc are defined in LDAP for which qmail sends and
receives mails,
is there any way by which i can send mails to all these 200000
users in one stroke , is there any thing to worry ( resource limits like
memory , disk space , queue size ) about if i will have to send mails to
200000 users (local users) simultaniously
my ~control/concurrencylocal and ~control/concurrencyremote is
as per qmail-1.03 defaults
Thanks & Regards

Look for the qmail-popbull program at www.qmail.org.

hello friends
is it possble to specify ip's with/without wilcards
rather than FQDNs and domain names in
~control/badmailfrom files ,
if its possible how can i list ips in badmailsfrom means will i have to
seperate it by "," or by space or new entry goes on new lines,
thanks & regards
Prashant Desai
> is it possble to specify ip's with/without wilcards

Not with plain qmail. Blocking IP addresses can be done with tcpserver
from the ucspi-tcp package.
> seperate it by "," or by space or new entry goes on new lines,
Every entry in badmailfrom has to go to a separate line.
Regards, Frank
I'm trying to do selective relaying and have setup a rule for TCP
server:
127.0.0.1:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
213.86.7.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
:allow
then I start tcpserver using this command in the qmail-smtpd run file:
/usr/bin/tcpserver -v -p -x /etc/tcp.smptp.cdb \
-u $QMAILUID -g $NOFILESGID 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1
But when It starts I get an error,
tcpserver: fatal: no IP address for 502
Any ideas where I am going wrong?
TIA,
Jon.
