Sorry about the bother, I was using the wrong SMTP server from my Winbloze computer.

You don't need to make any changes to the source.

Well, AMaViS itself is not a virus scanner per se. It's just an
interface for virus scanning at the eMail server by calling one or more
commercial antivirus scanners. So, if the used virus scanner detect it
(and imho all of them do - although I didn't tested it) it will be
stopped.

eric,
greetings from BA!
What you could do is trigger a *new* message. I don't think you can
actually change the html msg that is already in the users INBOX. Anyway,
as this certainly needs a connection and an HTML-aware mailer, why don't
you put a link and open a new browser window? It'll be much more
standard that counting on the MUA handling forms and redirects.

I've had great luck with oMail-Webmail. Works with vmailmgr and

Is oMail easier to modify than is Sqwebmail? There are some changes that I
would like to make to the interface but due to the compiled C and very
limited C skills it maybe a lost cause. I will actually be posting a
question about it but am not at home where all my notes are.

Probably yes: omail-webmail is programmed in perl :)
If you have other questions, you can also use the mailing

I have no previous experience with configuring Qmail
(nor Sendmail, or any other MTA). I just made an fresh
install of OpenBSD 2.7, and installed Qmail 1.03 from
the ports collection.
My questions are:
- since I haven't configured sendmail at all, is there any need
to deinstall sendmail straight away?
- could anyone walk me through the very basic steps for configuring
qmail with the following?
* dial-on-demand connection
* fetchmail as the POP3 retrieval agent
* procmail as the MDA
* mbox/maildir style mailboxes with mutt
* while I will usually connect to one isp, I'd like to send and
receive mail from other accounts on other isps (while connected
only to one isp)
I just ran ./config-fast, but my first doubt was whether I should
put my_machine_name.my_isp.dom, or just my_isp.dom
Other doubts arose through the documentation, as most (or all) seems
to refer to configuring big (servers) places or the such, with their
own DNS and domains.
If you think my questions are too basic/general for this list,
please direct me to the right place where I can find some easy and
straight forward documentation to read.
(I'm not subscribed, so please reply to this address in private or
send me a CC:).
TIA,

Ample. First of all you don't want 2 MTAs. De-Installation instructions
are at /var/qmail/doc/REMOVE.sendmail; also remove it from rc.conf as
described there.

mutt -f ~/Maildir/, but the package comes with a lot of stuff missing[1],
so I'd recompile from the ports.

Fetchmail will pick it up, then decide for one "smarthost". Done.

You've got them all configured as local domains, correct?

Yes, see below.

No. Make the domains or individual user-domain combinations virtual.
If necessary, you can then have .qmail files controlling an individual
account, and delivering the mail to a specified local user.
See the section on virtualdomains in Dave Sill's "Life with qmail".

Subject: Virtual domains and aliases
Hello!
I have questions about qmail and aliases.
I have several different domains hosted by one machine with one ip. The problem is to
have
qmail distinguish them from eachother when receiving mail.
My problem arises when i want to have the same 'user' (alias) to different domain and
then routed to different users using aliases for instance.
Is this possible with qmail?
So my question, is it possible to add hostnames to .qmail alias files? For instance,
.qmail-myuser.money.net ? Or specify the domain inside the alias file?
Aage
Very happy for any answer that can lead to a solution.. :)
Hi Guys!
Thanks for the great support on the reverse-DNS that was not
setup before. UUnet corrected it and that fixed it.
Right now I seem to run into something else that I do not quite
understand...
When sending messages to pobox.njn.org qmail reports
"Sorry,_I_wasn't_able_to_establish_an_SMTP_connection._(#4.4.1)/"
I first thought that the host might be down or something, but it
would have to be down for more than 12 hours right now.
Any idea's?
Need any additional info?
Don't worry, be Kneppie!

Yeah. Try making the connection:
petra:~$ dnsmx pobox.njn.org
0 pobox.njn.org
petra:~$ telnet pobx.njn.org 25
telnet pobox.njn.org 25
Trying 199.20.127.7...
And it times out. So the host is down.

The message means what it says, literally: qmail-remote wasn't able to
establish an SMTP connection with pobox.njn.org. I just tried connecting to it
myself, and I wasn't able to establish an SMTP connection either.
Whatever it is, it's not your problem.

Are you using Mrs. Brisby's auth patch, or a derivation of it? If so, your
problem is most likely centered around /bin/checkpassword. Mrs. Brisby's
patch expects it to have a bit more freedom than it normally has. See the
mini-FAQ on the mouse's site for details:
http://www.nimh.org/code.shtml
Scroll down to the line that begins with "I keep getting authentication
errors!"

How are you starting qmail-smtpd? I had this problem, and it turned
out that I needed to raise the memory limit imposed by softlimit.
-Dave
I solved it by making checkpass suid to root. Once I changed that,
everything worked like a charm. I was caught in a dilemma, run qmail-smtpd
as root or suid root checkpass. I don't have users other than myself on the
box, so I elected to suid checkpass. Hope that doesn't get me in trouble.
Thanks to all on the suggestions.

Robin, I was just giving him an option, no need to be rude about it.
Just to answer a few of your comments though:
A directory service is my case would be an LDAP server.
Show me a GUI client that can do SSL IMAP, SSL POP3 and LDAP.
Seperate accounts with seperate inboxes is much more than
a regular expression. I can check email on all of my accounts and
when I reply, select the account I want my reply to show as coming
from in a drop down "From" box, very helpful when I need to be
postmaster at a number of different domains easily.
My copy of OE5 drops down the Inbox of the account in question
if it finds new mail and puts the number of new messages next to it.
If you set your IE to restricted zones, disable HTML messages and
scripting, there's no more danger in this client than any other.
So what if you shouldn't have to do all that, I didn't say it was a
perfect solution, just a convenient one when managing a lot of domains.
Since you had nothing productive to say, why don't you just be
happy with your orderly, modularized unix client and not post to the
list? I don't like Microsoft for much but OE5 makes my life easier so
I choose to use it and it works great in combination with my linux based
Qmail/Courier-IMAP w/SSL installation as a secure way to check a lot of
email accounts.

Robin was referring to the highly inefficient mail filter tool built
into Outlook. It is a royal pain in the derriere to use.

My experience with Outlook has been similarly dismal. Outlook buggers up
quotes, misinterprets message times when they come off of IMAP (I get
the times in GMT rather than in the local time zone -- grr) and crashes
with ample frequency.
Never thought I'd say it, but Netscape is more stable, and I'm using it
instead =)

If it works for you, great. If you use it as a mail reader, great. Just
don't use it to write to public mailing lists.

Do I care? It makes *my* life harder. And unless someone cooks up really
bright with procmail, everybody else's, too. Tell me, David, why do you
deliberatly enforce an unnecessary amount of trouble upon your innocent
readers? Bad as they are, Netscape, The Bat!, Eudora, Pine, or Becky
behave a lot better. If you have to use mailing lists, do your fellow
listmembers a favour and use one of those.

Umm, for what it's worth, the "RE:" bug isn't in Outlook Express 5, at least
not the one that came with my Windows 2000 work box. Can't vouch for the
rest of the "features", though.
---Kris Kelley
Sure there is!
http://home.netscape.com/
I certainly wouldn't underestimate the capacity of Netscape Messenger.
What's ever better it's free as well! I personally think Netscape is
*much* better than Outlook Express of any form... But hey, that's just
me, being a hard core Netscape user...
Don't worry, be Kneppie!

Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, they are probably developing
those better solutions for UNIX and Linux. There are plenty of
email clients for those platforms, at least around 50 by my count.
Maybe some of them could be rewritten for Winblows...

QMTP is not currently very easy to use. The only QMTP client I'm aware
of maildirqmtp from serialmail, which requires queueing to a
maildir. I think you'll be fine with SMTP.

So why don't you direct the domain to mbj in virtualdomains, e.g.:
domain.com:mbj-domain:com
and mbj can set up whatever .qmail-domain:com-* files he wants?
>i mean, without having to set up individual .qmail-ext files for all

How about having to set up individual .qmail-ext files for all
the users in mbj's home dir?
If that's not acceptable, run fastforward from
~mbj/.qmail-domain:com-default, and mbj will be able to manage the
domain from an alias table.
-Dave
Ok maybe i don't quite understand you, or i didn't make my situation clear enough:
1: I want the alias user to handle all virtual domains, since i own the box this
should not be a
problem and i don't need to clutter up my home dir with .qmail files.
2: I am serving to many different people from every virtual domain i have, some being
actual account
on my machine, some being simple aliases for remote accounts.
now the way i have set it up works perfektly for me, EXCEPT the problem i showed in my
original
mail.
What i am looking for is a way to make the forwarding dynamical based on the extension.
example:
mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] is delivered to mbj-ext-1@localhost
and mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] is delivered to mbj-ext-2@localhost
(both owned by user mbj ofcause)
but i also want mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] is delivered to tony-ext-1@localhost
and mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] is delivered to tony-ext-2@localhost
(both owned by user tony ofcause)
at the same time i want mail to sam*@domain.com is delivered to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
i mean instead of having a dead $[EMAIL PROTECTED] command in the alias users
.qmail-whatever,
isn't there a way for me to route the incomming mail intelligently in a catch-all way
based on the
first word? (by first word i mean mbj or tony or sam in the examples above)
Do i make any sense or am i very terrible with the english language and unable to
explain what i
mean (or am i just unable to see the forrest because of to alle the trees blocking my
vision)? (i am
danish, sorry :)
Thanks for not being too impatient with my stupidity

Ugh. That really complicates things. (If you wanted sam-*@domain.com
redirected, that'd be a lot easier.)
First, create a virtual domain for domain.com:
domain.com:domaincom
Then in users/assign redirect the various pieces of the domain (two
lines):
+domaincom-:alias:[UID of alias]:[GID of nofiles]:/var/qmail/alias:-:
domaincom-
+domaincom-sam:alias:[UID of alias]:[GID of nofiles]:/var/qmail/alias:-:
domaincom-sam-
Then create the above ~alias/.qmail-domaincom-default and a
~alias/.qmail-domaincom-sam-default containing:
&[EMAIL PROTECTED]

No, you're doing great. It's just that what you want isn't trivial to
describe or implement.

If any of those deliveries fails with a temporary error, qmail will
attempt to redeliver all them the next time. You should instead set up
the alias file with forwards, e.g.:
&user1@mydomain
&user2@mydomain
&user3@mydomain
&user4@mydomain
&user5@mydomain
&user6@mydomain

There's no "qmail-start" daemon. qmail-start starts qmail-send. Is
qmail-send running? What does "qmail stat" say?

Which is *not* the /var/qmail/rc script from LWQ.

In a proper LWQ installation, syslog isn't used. In your case, it
should have been used.

Try running /var/qmail/rc interactively.
-Dave
if i understand you correctly, then it is actually qmail-send that dies after running
qmail-start?
If so, then i had the same problem and found out it was a problem with access rights
to the qmail
directory (i installed into /opt/qmail and the installed port-sentry fro the abcus
project into
/opt/port-sentry and that installation made /opt mode 700 and /opt is owned by root)

Rejection can only be done by qmail-smtpd. Out-of-the-box, the only
mechanism for rejecting based on size is databytes, via the
control/databytes system-wide setting or the DATABYTES session-wide
environment variable. DATABYTES+tcpserver can easily set per-sender-IP
size limits, but it won't help with per-recipient limits. What you
want will require patching qmail-smtpd.

"man qmail-control | grep databytes" says:
databytes 0 qmail-smtpd
so databytes is applied in the qmail-smtpd stage.

Another strategy, is to control it via a .qmail file for that alias.
I note you say you have "virtually unlimited coming in" so in your
.qmail file for that particular alias you could go*:
| [ `wc -l` -gt 20000 ] && echo Too big && exit 100;exit 0
&remote-address
That will bounce all messages that are larger than 20,000 bytes. Otherwise
they will be forwarded.

Shouldn't that be `wc -c` ? I thought -l counted the number of lines...

Yep, Lucky the warrantee just expired.

Hi Tim,
Sorry about that, forgot to cc the list.
Is this the syslog file, if not, where are the log files for qmail?
Thanks,

Hi List
I need to set up qmail to do
Virutal Domain Forward, but without local users o directories
ie:
y Need *@domain.com --> [EMAIL PROTECTED]
so [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---> [EMAIL PROTECTED]
But I dont want to create local directories nor users.
I've Qmail+MySQL, but that's not the problem
I hope you can help me.

virtualdomains:
domain.com:alias-pepe
~alias/.qmail-pepe-default:
&[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Do "qmail hup" (e.g., "kill -HUP [pid of qmail-send]").

El tema es que yo necesito hacer muuuuchos dominios de ese estilo y no

Ya lei Life With Qmail y no dice nada al respecto.

lo que m�s te conviene es leer el documento Life with Qmail, escrito

Yo lo que te dir�a es que generes el virtual domain en un usuario

quer�s que recoja todos los mails de ese dominio.

~alias/.qmail means pepe's Home Directory
o /var/qmail/alias ?
The problems is that I need this with 1600+ domains.

In which case it's total.net's problem.
Ask them what happened to the message associated with 18301 at
970598885.
Once they say "250 ok" it's no longer your problem.

Ok, well unless the dns records are screwed up for total.net (which they do
not seem to be)
mx.total.net (154.11.89.182) accepted the message and if mx.total.net does

This is very unambiguous. Delivery 329 was successful to 154.11.89.182
(mx.total.net). The remote server is even running qmail, no less.
What happens after that is up to total.net.
Again, the logs tell all.

Thank you everyone for your quick responses. For once I'm glad to know it's
not me. Any where I could do some reading on how to read qmail logs? Maybe
then I'd understand some of this a little more when issues arise.

You might want to consider reading the qmail-log manpage that comes
with qmail.

As other have recommended, read the qmail-log man page. Then get
yourself a copy of qmLogsort from the main qmail page. It digs through
your logs and sorts them by message, so you don't have to dig through
50 log entries to find the five that relate to the message you're
tracking. Makes the logs much easier to read.

Can someone help me out really quick what is the proper string to put in
the ".qmail-default" if you want the mail to bounce back.
Thanks

If .qmail-default does not exist and no other more-specific .qmail file
handles a particular address, the mail will bounce automatically.
Just remove your .qmail-default file.

Try reading the bouncesaying man page that comes with qmail.

Try this:
| bouncesaying "Go away!"
Chris
If that is all you want is a bounce, remove the .qmail-default.
Otherwise, check out the docs for bouncesaying.

Hi All,
Yes, agree there are a lot of problems with Outlook Express.
No doubt about it.
But:
For the everage user on the premises, that is one of the poor
suckers that uses one of the windows platforms there is no "better"
alternative.
That we "professionals" see and have to deal with the problems
does not change the fact that we can't come up with an alternative
(for the avere user) with at least the same easy of use and features.
aving to say that really hursts, and from the reactions to see, i am
not alone.
Isn't there really any programmer (group) out there who can write a
better windows solution to replace this free outlook express?
Jos
>Isn't there really any programmer (group) out there who can write a

Well, there are actually close on hundreds of other mail clients for
Winbloze, and some aren't bad. I used to use Pegasus Mail in the older days,
and I really liked that...it hasn't changed HEAPS in the last few years
though and I was a bit disappointed when I trialled it earlier to see what
it was like. Still nothing overly 'stand-out'ish about it. It does
everything you want it to as a standard mail client, but it isn't overly
amazing.
Gnus looks nice, extensive, practical (once set up)...I am looking at
playing with that at the end of the year/beginning of next, it seems
virtually endless with what you can do with it (albeit not quite the
point-and-click most WB users like, but I personally like keyboard
functionality more, even if the standard QWERTY keyboard sucks arse big
time). Hey that's an idea. Why don't we change the standard Windows client
to a ported GNUS and change the keyboards to Dvorak's! That should increase
work efficiency by about 400%!
Oh well, to dream of the future

Hi all.
I came upon a stupid install bug (i was the bug) that took me (ok i'm really red in my
head here)
more than an hour to figure out.
I had accidently turned the access permissions to 700 on the qmail folder.
The result was that qmail-start exited as soon as it was run, and nothing happened.
And this is where i find a feature missing: if qmail-start fails it out to tell the
reason....
Some kind of log messages or even better: a message to STDERR telling the reason...
What do you think?
Would probably help qmail-newbies and generally stupid people like myself...

Hi,
I am using qmail + vpopmail + sqwebmail.
I am trying to use separate templates for each virtual domain. In
httpd.conf I added SQWEBMAIL_TEMPLATEDIR
/usr/local/share/sqwebmail/virtual.dom to the <VirtualHost> configuration.
I then copied the templates from sqwebmail/html/en to sqwebmail/virtual.dom.
When accessing cgi-bin/sqwebmail I get the following error; 'Can't open form
template'. Is this some sort of error in my sqwebmail setup or is this an
error on Apache's part? If it a problem with Apache does anyone know how I
can display the environment variables in Apache?
Any other suggestions or hints for modifying the templates would be
appreciated.
Thanks,
David
I do have SetEnv in front of SQWEBMAIL_TEMPLATEDIR. I forgot to put it in
the email.

hi all,
/var/qmail/control/rcpthosts can be use to restrict the the relaying from
smtp connection, but, how do i set restriction with program that invoke
qmail-inject directly?
i am having problem restricting mail sending out by php script that the php
binary will invoke the qmail-inject directly.
any thoughts?
regards,
mok
Only thing i can think of is to code a wrapper for qmail-inject that
checks sender/recepient/whatever.
the wrapper should accept all input that qmail-inject accepts, but also
sport additional switches for the checking the things you wanna check.

Hi,
Is there any method to resend one particular mail pending in /var/qmail/queue
Well What I do is kill the qmail-send & restart the qmail so it starts sending all the
mails in the queue.
Also is there any method for removing the message from the queue.

Hi Jan & Brett
Right, messenger is nice. It drops short on 1 major for us:
Trying to add a second pop account: "You can have multiple
mail servers if they are IMAP servers. You are now using a pop
server" While inside we could go POP, i can't change the outside
offerings, and they aren't POP.
To be honest: Many years ago i tried to get GNUS up and running,
and i am still recovering from the dent in my self esteem after giving up.
It was simply too damm difficult. But he, i'll give it a try once more,
and try to create a workable setup for my users. That with a standard
install could be a worthwile proposition.

Jos

It isn't. It just looks that way. Dont forget that Gnus can do more than
all generic Windos MUAs and NRs taken together. It takes some time to
even remotely grap how much can be done - and in which (sometimes
strange) ways it can be done. Being written in Lisp, it can also be
extended to cover additional needs. In short: if you get more than 15
mails per day and intend to participate in public discussion forums,
*don't* use Outlock and at least consider using Gnus.

Hello everyone,
I am moved my mail system from using maildrop to procmail. The version of
procmail is 3.15.
When I went into my Qmail folder, I see duplicate copies for every new message
from the Qmail list. All the other mailing lists have a single copy in their
folders. Could this be anything to do with the startup of Qmail (personally I
don't think so)? I have tried the following Qmail startup commands:
qmail-start '|preline procmail' splogger qmail
and
qmail-start '| /usr/bin/procmail' splogger qmail
Any thoughts on why this is happening?
