hi,
first of all: nice logo but IMHO a senseless waste of bandwith...
and now for your question: what are the permissions of the ~control/ldapserver and who
owns it? most troubles around seem to raise
out of wrong ownership and file permissions. be so kind and have a look or post a ls
-l.

hi mark,
nice and complete post (with logs) ;)
for me it seems, that a local progy (echo to:marc | qmail-injector) or a bounce has
generated these mails since the machines name
a asume peppo is the mailers hostname) is in the domains part.
what is in your ~/alias/.qmail-postmaster and mailer-daemon files - something like
"&marc"?
may be i am barking up the wrong tree, but it could be worth a check.

Howdy guys,
I want to send a pager notification whenever new mail that has entered my
inbox. To page someone with my pager is:
<areacodephonenumber>@paging.acswireless.com. The alphanumeric text on my
pager would say something like, "You have a new email message!" whenever I
got a new message in my inbox. What's the best way to do this?

add
| sendmsg.pl
to your .qmail file,
and program sendmsg.pl so that it send you the message you want...
I use that for sms : for each mail, I get 2 sms with the first 300 chars
of the mail (compressed: without spaces, etc).

Olivier

In your .qmail put:
|echo "" | mailsubj "You have a new email message!"
|<areacodephonenumber>@paging.acswireless.com
mailsubj should be in your /var/qmail/bin directory

I do something like the following which is all on one line except for
the Maildir delivery.
| if grep -i "^$SENDER" $HOME/.qmailallowed > /dev/null; then sed -n -f
|$HOME/bin/mail2page.sed | qmail-inject -f${SENDER} <number>@page.nextel.com; exit 0;
|else echo "False alarm"; exit 100; fi
./Maildir/
This allows you to somewhat control which senders will cause your pager
to be run, and it only sends the Subject of the message that they are
sending and not the entire message. Finally, it will deliver a copy of
the original email to your mail box.
Here are the contents of mail2page.sed:
/^From:/p
/^Subject:/p

well, it's not my fault if outlook doesn't support attached pgp signatures :)
Here is the kind of program you can use: (just to give you an idea:
its not perfect, but at least it works :)
#!/usr/bin/perl
$date = localtime; # e.g "Tue Oct 14 14:22:56 1997"
$nummer = $ARGV[0]; chomp $nummer;
$recipient = $nummer . "\@sms.ip-plus.net";
$mailprog = '/usr/lib/sendmail';
@text = <STDIN>;
#$msg = "Datum: $date\n";
$msg = ""; $from = "s\@m.s";
$mailtext = 0;
foreach $line (@text) {
if ($line =~ /From:/ || $line =~ /Subject:/ || $mailtext) {
if ($line =~ /^From:/) {
$tmpfrom = substr($line,6); chomp $tmpfrom;
$txtfrom = "\n[F:" . $tmpfrom . "]\n";
}
if ($line =~ /^Subject:/) {
$tmpsubj = substr($line,9); chomp $tmpsubj;
}
$msg .= $line;
}
chomp $line;
if ($line eq "" && $mailtext == 0) {
$mailtext = 1;
$msg .= $txtfrom;
}
}
open (MAIL, "|$mailprog $recipient") || die "Can't open $mailprog!\n";
print MAIL "From: $from\n";
print MAIL <<END1;
$msg
END1
close (MAIL);
and with something like that in the .qmail file :
| /home/8304/progs/sms.pl 09828378741

The one Andy sent gave you control over what messages go to your pager
(based on who sent it) and sent the message subject to the pager.

I'll bite. What am I missing as to how the MUA knows which people are
on the list, and which people aren't on the list, out of the people in
the To and Cc lines?

Why would there ever be anybody on the list who is also in the
recipient list?

Because, just like with this email, I hit "reply all" and
Microsoft Outlook puts your address and the list address
into the To: field.
Netscape puts your address in To: and the list in Cc: -
same problem.
And it's annoying to get duplicate messages....
Now, one can trash Microsoft, or Netscape, or whoever
makes the MUA, but the bottom line is, this is how they
work and this is how 99% of users would use them even
if there were a reply-to-recipient choice.
So the question is: is there a sensible (or kludgey, hack,
yet sufficient) way to cope with it today?

Oh, that's pretty cunning, but it only works on closed lists properly,
and if everyone in existence used that ability, and if there was a way
to export via headers whether that behaviour is preferred on the list.
(actually, I could be wrong, but here's my thinking)
On non-closed lists, there're two ways off the top of my head for this
to cause problems:
a) something is sent to one or more lists and also one or more other
people,
b) something is sent to a list by someone not on the list.
With 'a', you have an announcement sent to a list and another person
(X), and that person using reply, sending to the initial sender (Z) and
the list. Subsequently, that person (the initial sender) will always
get two copies of the thread, since he was specifically named in the
reply, since the replier (X) didn't know it was a list post.
This happens when, say, a person submits a bug, and when the bug is
fixed, a notification of that bug fix is sent to that person, and the
mailing list to which the bug applies.
With closed lists, this'll just end in frustration for the bug-fixer.
If the closed list is BCC'd, this might work, but then the replies have
to be relayed to the list by the subscriber that sent the application
announcement to the person. (either an automated system like GNATS, or
the one what I'm more thinking of, a company department thanking someone
in another department for finding a bug)
Can't think of an easy way to do this.
With 'b', you have someone asking the engineering department for help on
something, and the engineering people press 'reply to recipients' and
don't include the initial sender in the reply.
This applies to 'help' lists like [EMAIL PROTECTED], or
[EMAIL PROTECTED], or things like that, and also a reasonably large number
of company lists. (This applies to "closed" lists with moderators for
non-member submissions too)
Lots of "relatively closed" or closed big lists also seem to prefer the
"reply to sender, Cc the list and the other people involved in the
thread" option in my experience.
That can be solved by a mail list header that specifies that you're
supposed to send to the sender too.

No. Reply-to-Recipient is necessary and sufficient.

Mutt understands "Mail-Followup-To:" (MFT) and can be set to honor
that header. If you tell Mutt that you are subscribed to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] then it will generate the appropriate MFT header
(see mine). Later on if another Mutt user replies to my message, the
reply will only be sent to the qmail list by default, provided he/she
enables the honor-mft option.

Mutt is not the only MUA that understands this either. I wonder how
many MUA actually do honor this header? I know NMH and possibly MH can
handle this---and consequently, so does EXMH which is what I use. For
those of you that may be wondering what this header is all about see:

Do you consider it sensible to use a mailer which has a list
reply feature?
Alternatively, do you consider it sensible to use a mail system
which files duplicates in a separate folder?
Alternatively, if you prefer to deal with it in a lowest-common-
denominator fashion, do you consider it sensible to use a
keyboard?

I was wondering if there are any good benchmark
programs for qmail (and qmail-pop3). I need
to prove to a `we only sell microsoft' kinda
guy that opensource IS the way to go in some
situations. Hell, in ALL situations!

If you want to run the benchmarks yourself, check out the "postal"
package. It comes with two programs, "postal", which sends a stream of
SMTP messages, and "rabid", which consumes them through either POP3 or
IMAP.
However, if you want to prove anything to management, speed numbers
aren't going to buy you much (as many people will tell you). You would
likely be better off to point to other major success stories, which the
front page of http://www.qmail.org/ has, as well as
http://em.ca/~bruceg/qmail-sites.html, and/or to do a cost-benefit
analysis showing them them how the OSS solution will benefit them.
That's how I was able to shoehorn Linux into our NT-crowded WAN.
I've heard that most analysts are forecasting 2x to 10x licensing cost
increases on most MS products as soon as next year, once the anti-trust
trial goes into infinite appeal mode. Does anybody else have more
authoritative forecasts on that front other than just hearsay?

This is in reply to Dave/Jan...
I installed qmail thru the INSTALL file that came with the arhive, and LWQ.
I printed out all the documentation that came with qmail including the FAQ,
LWQ so I have papers scattered all over the place. I also have various
bookmarks I got from the mailing list and internet. Too bad there isn't a
qmail book that could tie all this info together.
By the way Jan, I'm using slackware 7.1 and qmail is being started in my
/etc/rc.d/rc.local file by the line "qmail start". I guess I was wondering
why I had the tcpserver line in the top of my qmail script. I tried to put
it on it's own separate line in the start up file, but it doesn't work. I
tried putting the tcpserver line before the "qmail start" and then one line
after but it didn't recogize any usernames or passwords, so I'm leaving it
at the top of the qmail file where it works.
So I guess you answered my question on needing another tcpserver line for
qmail-smtpd because I'm running qmail-smtpd via
/var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run, according to Dave. So I don't have to
worry about having the -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb after the tcpserver in my
qmail-smtpd invocation.
I enter IPs in the /etc/tcp.smtp file and reload the tcp.smtp file with
"qmail cdb". So I guess I'm in business....Thanks for you time guys/gals.

Hi all.
I've just upgraded to RedHat 7.0 and my qmail is dead.
I'm getting the following error:
[root@flux queue-fix-1.4]# telnet 192.168.0.1 25
Trying 192.168.0.1...
Connected to flux.localdomain (192.168.0.1).
Escape character is '^]'.
alert: cannot start: unable to switch to queue directory
Connection closed by foreign host.
I've run queue fix, binned /var/qmail and run 'make setup check' and
'./fast-config flux.localdomain' again
My qmail users are still OK...
How do I fix this?
Baz.

On my popserver (which does local deliveries, forwards, and some big
alias expansions) with just under 40.000 users, I *normally* do about
40mb a day, but one fat mailbomb (which happens too often) and that number
easily grows to a 100-200.
