So here's my little story. I have to relay mail from our MS Exchange Server to the qmail-server (This server also beeing the firewall). I did setup everything with tcp-env according to point 5.4 in the FAQ But this doesn't work (at least not with my RedHat Linux) The RELAYCLIENT variable just doesn't get set. Martin Jespersen was a great help in finding the problem. My simple solution: Use tcpserver. This was actually a no-brainer. Now (nearly) everything works fine. So, why not update this in the FAQ? instead of using tcp-env I now have a /etc/tcp.smtp file in which I have the IP-adresses of the servers who are allowed to relay. I wrote a little startup-script for tcpserver and that was it. I already moved one other service from inetd to tcpserver. I'll probably shutdown my xinetd alltogether. Ciao Leo
So, after my hassle with RELAYCLIENT, and us beeing used as a spam relay, I tested the new setup with http://www.abuse.net/relay.html Now the thing ist, that relay test number six still goes thru. Is this some issue? Did I do something wrong? citing abuse.net: Relay test 6 >>> RSET <<< 250 flushed >>> MAIL FROM:<spamtest@[193.154.31.82]> <<< 250 ok >>> RCPT TO:<relaytest%abuse.net@[193.154.31.82]> <<< 250 ok Relay test result Hmmn, at first glance, host appeared to accept a message for relay. end cite Any help/info appreciated Leo
don't worry about test nr. 6, it is testing a known weakness in old sendmail versions that qmail is not subject to (sendmail would treat % as a special sign). The reason why it appears to fail is that qmail interprets the RCPT address correctly and thus the mail is for a localy controled domain, for which relaying is allowed :) If you are in doubt see the output of the test i did below. Ofcause the server accepts the RCPT since it is for localhost (the message might bounce though, but that is another issue :) /Martin ------------------------------------SNIP-------------------------------- Connecting to mother.mbj.dk for anonymous test ... <<< 220 Lets send some mail :) ESMTP >>> HELO www.abuse.net <<< 250 Lets send some mail :) Relay test 1 >>> RSET <<< 250 flushed >>> MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <<< 250 ok >>> RCPT TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <<< 553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1) Relay test 2 >>> RSET <<< 250 flushed >>> MAIL FROM:<spamtest> <<< 250 ok >>> RCPT TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <<< 553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1) Relay test 3 >>> RSET <<< 250 flushed >>> MAIL FROM:<> <<< 250 ok >>> RCPT TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <<< 553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1) Relay test 4 >>> RSET <<< 250 flushed >>> MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <<< 250 ok >>> RCPT TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <<< 553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1) Relay test 5 >>> RSET <<< 250 flushed >>> MAIL FROM:<spamtest@[195.215.112.237]> <<< 250 ok >>> RCPT TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <<< 553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1) Relay test 6 >>> RSET <<< 250 flushed >>> MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <<< 250 ok >>> RCPT TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <<< 250 ok ------------------------------------SNIP-------------------------------- Leonard Tulipan wrote: > > So, after my hassle with RELAYCLIENT, and us beeing used as a spam relay, I > tested the new setup with > http://www.abuse.net/relay.html > > Now the thing ist, that relay test number six still goes thru.

No this is not an issue. Qmail bounces the mail later but the check quits because qmail doesnt send an error to it. ORBS for example checks the whole thing (if the mail bounces or not) Mit freundlichen Gr�ssen Thomas Arnold Chief Management Application Services # Ihre Xmedia Agentur: # # http://www.alea-active.com # alea active GmbH | fon: 06201 - 90 20 4-0 Hauptstr. 97-99 | fax: 06201 - 90 20 4-17 69 469 Weinheim | Leonardo: 06201 - 90 20 4-27 mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Fritz-Data: 06201 - 90 20 4-26 ============================================================= -----Urspr�ngliche Nachricht----- Von: Leonard Tulipan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet: Freitag, 13.

Quoting Leonard Tulipan ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): > Now the thing ist, that relay test number six still goes thru. Is this some > issue? Did I do something wrong? Yes, you did. You failed to read the web page, especially the bold blinking text. Aaron ----------------- THIS MAY OR MAY NOT MEAN THAT IT'S AN OPEN RELAY. Some systems appear to accept relay mail, but then reject messages internally rather than delivering them, but you cannot tell at this point whether the message will be relayed or not. If it is really an open relay, the test message will be delivered to you. If you do not receive the test message in your e-mail in the next few hours, it IS NOT an open relay.
Hi there Brainiacs I'm going up the walls on this side. I want to send all mail with an unknown user in qmail to another server wich can have the email account. According to the qmail FAQ. put | forward "$[EMAIL PROTECTED]" into .qmail-default so I tried | forward "$[EMAIL PROTECTED]" I send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] now there is two mail servers mail.domain.com(10.10.10.10) and pop.domain.com (pop is primary MX) When I try it, qmail tries to forward the mail to @4000000039e6da613109e6d4 delivery 9: failure: 10.10.10.10_does_not_like_reci pient./Remote_host_said:_550_unknown_user_<[EMAIL PROTECTED] >/Giving_up_on_10.10.10.10./ Why is it trying to forward to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and not [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Next question Figured this one out. :) Thanx a mil Deon Bredenhann Network Manager CompuScan Information Technologies http://www.compuscan.co.za

How can i tell to to qmail to allow relay only from "mydomain.it", regardless ip address? I put "mydomain.it" in rcpthosts, but I think the rule mydomain.it:allow,RELAYCLIENT="" in tcp.smtp file isn't correct.
Well, i don't know about that. I use the IP adresses of our hosts (there are just two). Have you "compiled" /etc/tcp.smtp with tcprules? have you given option -x/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb to your tcpserver startup?

Hello everyone! I am trying to find ways to use qmail with another MTA (part of a groupware package called Teamware Office) on the same machine (RH 6.2). One solution I found is to use delivery through SMTP (smtproutes to a secondary SMTP port etc.). Works perfect, but it's not exactly what I'm looking for. Second method is to make qmail-local "pipe" the e-mail to the other MTA's receiver program, achieved by putting in ../control/.qmail-default: | /usr/bin/torecvm -f$SENDER -r$RECEIPT. (Of course, more specific rules than .qmail-default can be implemented, but this is just for testing). The problem with this method are the delivery reports. Since qmail-local can pipe the message ok, it reports succesfull delivery to the sender, even if the recipient is not defined in the other MTA. My question: is there other approach, beside qmail-local, in dealing with other MTAs running on the same machine? Any suggestion, links to relevant documents etc. are greatly appreciated. Thank you. Best regards, Sebastian Paul Avarvarei E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'm confused: why are you trying to blend two MTAs?

Hello, Forgive me for such a stupid question, I have been having problems with tcpserver NOT denying IP address. I have only entered a few IP classes into the tcp.smtp file, I have updated it using tcprules, and I also have '-x tcp.smtp.cdb' flagged in the startup of smptd. Yet is still does not deny any type of IP address. Has anyone else experienced this problem, I have tried everything I can think of to resolve this problem. I have reinstalled tcpserver. remove and recreated the .cdb file, anyone have any tips that would help? Best Regards, Cliff Cole
If you want tcpserver to only allow some hosts, you would do something like this (Look at http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp/tcprules.html for more info) 192.168.0.xxx:allow 192.168.0.yyy:allow :deny this has to be "compiled" by tcprules of course.

Hey, That configuration appears to work! I was using the string for the tcp.smtp. '12.34.56.78:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""' I must have not got a clear explaination for the flag RELAYCLIENT.

Hello again, After some testing, it appears that adding the ':deny' string it will deny EVERYTHING comming into port 25 even othe MTA's. I removed :deny and it now allows ALL IP's to relay from my server. Any other suggestion I may try?

You are missing the /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts file. That file MUST be present and should contain the domains listed in locals and virtualdomains as well as any domains for which you are acting as a secondary MX. Then you will need to set RELAYCLIENT="" for all IPs which you wish to allow relaying for. This is covered in the FAQ that came with qmail as well as at www.qmail.org and Dave Sill's excellent 'Life With qmail".

> Can anyone tell me what the 'plusdomain' control file is used for? > Can't find anything in the docs...thanks. For any control file, read 'man qmail-control,' which has a table listing which man page describes which control file. All control files have an entry like the following from 'man qmail-inject:' plusdomain Plus domain name. Default: me, if that is supplied; otherwise the literal name plusdomain, which is prob� ably not what you want. qmail-inject adds this name to any host name that ends with a plus sign, includ� ing defaulthost if defaulthost ends with a plus sign. If a host name does not have dots but ends with a plus sign, qmail-inject uses plusdomain, not default� domain. The QMAILPLUSDOMAIN environment variable overrides plusdomain. -- gowen -- Greg Owen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Title: RE: RE: qmail-mrtg HELP plzI am using multilog. What I actually ended up finding out the problem was was that the qmail.mrtg.cfg file wasn't piping the data from current through tai64nlocal before sending it to mrtg, and qmail-mrtg was seg faulting when it was run without tai64nlocal. When I changed that part of the cfg file, it started working perfectly. Thanks!

Hi, i'm using qmail 1.03 with tcpserver 0.88 and i have problems with some clients (mostly Windows/Outlook) sending mail through the qmail-MTA, which is very slow on those client machines, but there are also clients (the majority) with the same configuration, which operates about 6-7 times faster. I'm using the following tcpserver setup for qmail-smtpd: (ulimit -d 5120 -m 2048 && /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -c20 -x /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -u 1001 -g 101 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd) i have also tried the -H and -R tcpserver options to disable dns/ident lookups, but that did not solve the problem. The vpopmail uses the roaming feature appending new pop3-authenticated relay ip's to tcp.smtp.cdb Qmail runs on a Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 system with kernel 2.2.17 Thanks for your help, Oliver -- Oliver Stosberg * [EMAIL PROTECTED] * Fon: +49 5251 930328
Hi Johan, I stumbled onto this thread because of your earlier message in which you heartily recommended using qmail-queue, procmail -m, and spambouncer. I didn't see any replies to this message. Did you end up resolving the procmail log file problem? In light of that problem, do you still recommend this approach to spam-tagging? (I've been trying to decide whether to go back to rblsmtpd alone, or to go for the kinder, gentler approach of tagging suspected spam rather than rejecting it.

The rfc says not to change it on mail that a host is relaying, but it leaves it up the the host to do what's appropriate for local addresses. It's really the only reasonable thing they could have specified in a world where some systems have mixed case and some don't. Whether or not qmail should fold addresses into lower case is debatable, but the RFC doesn't give any guidance since it was written to be able to work on systems where folding case is a requirement.

No. The final system is allowed to do whatever it wants with case. The case preservation is only required if the MTA is NOT the final delivery MTA. qmail by design is case independent when it is the final delivery MTA.

Okay, I have inherited a legacy Active Server Pages/VB environment that uses ASPEmail to send HTML email messages to a qmail relay server. I keep getting the dreaded LF bounce. After talking to Persits Software (the makers of the component), they're convinced that qmail is stripping the CRLF and replacing it with simply a LF. My questions are, is this a reasonable behavior from qmail and, if so, how would I fix it? Thanks.

I doubt it. qmail would bounce all mail it ever received if that were the case. Chris
Just had this exact same problem 2 days ago with ASPmail. The script was pulling some HTML from a web page and emailing it off. There was a lone linefeed character at the end of one of the tables on the page. One of our developer guys fixed the page somehow, or made the aspmail thing look for lone <lf>'s. Someone mentioned that you could start smtpd with something like fixcrio | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd, but I haven't tried it yet.

I have decided to redesign delivery routines of vpopmail a bit. Here is my first attempt. Steps to test it: 1. Copy vlocal.c and vlocal.h (attached) into vpopmail src dir. 2. add vlocal into Makefile. 3. Set #define QMAILLOCALVPOPMAIL in vlocal.c 3. compile vlocal 4. Rename qmail-local to qmail-local-vpopmail. 5. Rename vlocal to qmail-local. What it does: This code change homedir for delivery for vpopmail users, so it is possible to put .qmail files directly into user directories. It should not touch real (system) users (I think). What is does not: Quota support, but it shouldn't be difficult to add it there if descriptor 0 is file with something like fseek(0, 0, SEEK_END); filesize = ftell(0); fseek(0, 0, SEEK_SET); Could you take a lot at my code and send me a comments? Thanx. P.S.: This code is quite simple and I think it is possible to integrate it directly into qmail-local to reduce system overhead (execl could be wiped). -- Ondřej Surý <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Globe Internet s.r.o.http://globe.cz/ Tel: +420235365000 Fax: +420235365009 Pláničkova 1, 162 00 Praha 6 Mob: +420602667702 ICQ: 24944126 Mapa: http://globe.namape.cz/ NAJDI.TO http://najdi.to/ Chief Administrator and Developer.

To stop the tcpserver error, reconfigure or terminate the other program which is listening on port 25. This may be another tcpserver, inetd, sendmail, or something else I never heard of. You know your box better than I do. (I hope) As for logging, I found that I needed to make the directory in which multilog will be writing its logs read/write/executable for at least the qmaill user, otherwise it would not work, and the ps ax | grep multilog would show [multilog], indicating a failed 'zombie' sort of state. Check the permissions. And you may wish to send to us the line you are running with multilog on it, and an ls -ld of the directory the multilog script points to.

Where in the hell did you find that?! Section 2.8.1, /var/qmail/rc. There ain't no friggin splogger there. As you will soon find, we don't explain stuff step-by-step on this list.

pffft. again, the answer is in the doc's. ;-) from INSTALL.maildir Here's how to set up qmail to use maildir for your incoming mail: % maildirmake $HOME/Maildir % echo ./Maildir/ > ~/.qmail Make sure you include the trailing slash on Maildir/. y'know, i'm starting to like qmail more and more. instead of finding the answers easily and pondering them for hours (like sendmail) the answers are right in the doc's and they're super easy to understand. ;-) pearse ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Eric Pearse" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Ihnen, David" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, October 13, 2000 6:25 PM Subject: Re: qmail-pop3d error: '-ERR unable to scan $HOME/Maildir' > oh, i see. > > the "Account" part of the error message refers to the Outlook Express > account name. it's not part of the mail server's error message. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Ihnen, David" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "'Robert Eric Pearse'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Friday, October 13, 2000 6:02 PM > Subject: RE: qmail-pop3d error: '-ERR unable to scan $HOME/Maildir' > > > > Hm.

See the man page for qmail-smtpd which specifically references the use of the badmailfrom control file.
