Hi,
You are probably right about the DNS being the cause of the delay.
If you have no DNS available, then run a DNS server right there on your mail
machine; it can be its own. Just serve "reverse" tables for all the IP
networks your users use.
If you know that only a small set of hosts will be connecting to your
machine, then simply enter all those in /etc/hosts, and DNS will never be
consulted.

Folks,
This has been stated before, many times on this list. qmail NEVER
consults /etc/hosts for anything, ever. It only uses DNS. If you are
using qmail, set up a DNS server.

Is it possibly to resend message in queue to different address?
Thanks in advance,
Kimmo Bergh�ll
+ Kimmo Bergh�ll <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
| Is it possibly to resend message in queue to different address?
Yes.
If the original address was local, just edit the appropriate local
.qmail file to the address you want.
In the more likely case that the original address was remote, you need
to do these things:
1. Declare that address as local using control/virtualdomains, and
redirect it to a suitable alias that forwards to the new remote
address. RTFM qmail-send(1) for details on the virtualdomains
file.
2. Then give your qmail-send a SIGHUP. It will reread the
virtualdomains file.
3. Put an item in control/smtphosts redirecting the remote host to
localhost (or [127.0.0.1])
4. Give your qmail-send a SIGALRM. Watch the logs and see the message
travel towards its new destination.
5. Undo your changes to the virtualdomains file and give qmail-send
another SIGHUP.
But beware in case there may be other messages traveling to the same
remote host at the same time - they risk being redirected too.
I believe the only other alternative is to stop qmail-send and then
fish the message out of the quene manually, before you restart
qmail-send. Not recommended unless you really know what you're doing.

accustamp, setuser, and cyclog are from an older version of
daemontools. You should read the documentation for the current version
of daemontools[1] and convert your script to the new commands
setuidgid and multilog. LWQ's example[2] might help.

Append domain1.com, domain2.com, domain3.com, and domain4.com to
control/rcphosts.
Append the following to control/virtualdomains:
domain1.com:d1d2
domain2.com:d1d2
domain3.com:d3d4
domain4.com:d3d4
User d1d2 manages domain1.com and domain2.com, so ~d1d2/.qmail-*
handles domain1.com and domain2.com.
Likewise for user d3d4 and domain3.com and domain4.com.

Well, if multilog doesn't receive anything on standard input, it won't
have anything to log. What's in your /service/qmail-send/run file?

I think this may be the problem. /service/qmail-send/run has:
#!/bin/sh
exec /var/qmail/rc
and /var/qmail/rc has:
#!/bin/sh
# Using splogger to send the log through syslog.
# Using qmail-local to deliver messages to ~/Mailbox by default.
exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \
qmail-start ./Mailbox splogger qmail
What should I have here?

An invocation of multilog?
splogger logs to syslogd. You need to consult your syslog config (and manual
pages) if you want to log to syslog.

Kill the "splogger qmail", e.g.:
qmail-start ./Mailbox
You could plug in multilog, but that would prevent it from being
supervise'd via the log/run.

Hello,
I have take a sendmail alias file to use for my aliases. I have added
'| fastforward -d /etc/aliases.cdb' to the .qmail-default file in my
/var/qmail/aliases directory. I am using system account and I can create a
alias for a account that does not reside on my server in the system
accounts. For example: I have [EMAIL PROTECTED] going to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] . This works correct, however, I have a
account bob which is a system account on my server. I have a alias in
/etc/aliases to wich is [EMAIL PROTECTED] going to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] I can't recieve the mail for the account because
it ends up in /var/spool/mail/bob. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi. Got a question. I have a new installation of Solaris 8.
I have setup qmail on Linux a dozen times, no problem. First time on
solaris.
# make setup check
It goes throught the standard stuff and gets stuck here each time.
./compile qmail-local.c
/usr/ucb/cc: language optional software package not installed
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `qmail-local.o'
I've checked and /usr/ucb/cc does exist.
Can you advise on this?

Now run "more /usr/ucb/cc", and look at the last few lines.
Edit conf-cc and change the compiler to gcc. Of course, you must
have gcc installed. You can get it at <http://www.sunfreeware.com/>

Not sure, but I don't believe /usr/ucb/cc will work. I've had Solaris
experience and never used it successfully. I'd install gcc and use that;
you can get it in pkgadd format.

Hi,
I am attempting to install qmail 1.03 on a machine running Red Hat Linux
6.2. Prior to this, I used sendmail exclusively. The main problem I am
having is with local mail delivery. Outgoing messages seem fine, but
incoming messages only show a few lines of header information - no body
of the message or extended header information, for example:
>From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Oct 20 10:48:02 2000
Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Status: RO
X-Status:
X-Keywords:
X-UID: 685
This message should have contained the text "This is a test...".
My sendmail.cf file contains:
Mlocal, P=/usr/bin/procmail, F=lsDFMAw5:/|@qSPfhn9, S=10/30,
R=20/40,
T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix,
A=procmail -Y -a $h -d $u
and my current /var/qmail/rc file contains:
exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \
qmail-start '|dot-forward .forward
|preline procmail' splogger qmail
I'm guessing that the problem is that I don't quite call procmail right
from /var/qmail/rc, so I am wondering what other people are using for
local mail delivery on Red Hat Linux 6.2 boxes? If you are using
procmail, what arguments do you pass to it in /var/qmail/rc? Can
someone give me an example /var/qmail/rc file so that I can get all of
my header information and the body of the message? Thanks!

Hi,
I am actually a EXIM user; I�d like to route my mail via a smart host - he
uses qmail. This is where this mailing list comes into sight. :)
My uplink wants me to use SMTP authentification, which my mailer supports.
Actually, it will still not try to authentificate. I suppose that the
following is not a configuration problem, but a qmail bug:
[SMTP-Session]
EXIM>: EHLO gregory.lang.euro
qmail<: 250-charente.de
250-AUTH=LOGIN
250-PIPELINING
250-8BITMIME
Actually, my mailer does not like the "AUTH=LOGIN" tag. I (and Phil Hazel
from Univ. of Cambridge, author) think that it should be "AUTH LOGIN"
instead. The "="-character is IMHO not allowed here (see RFC 2554 and RFC
1869).This might be some kind of philosophical question, I suppose. But it
actually causes problems.
What do you think? Is this a bug or some kind of feature? ;)
Please reply cc to my email-adress as I am not on the list.

qmail doesn't implement SMTP AUTH at all. You must be running a patched version
of qmail, so you should probably talk to whoever made the patch about it.

Unpatched qmail does not support the SMTP AUTH command. You must be a
patch.
Technically, "AUTH=LOGIN" is incorrect. However, Netscape's MUA, and later
Outlook and Outlook Express, were coded to expect that, so it's become the
norm. The first SMTP AUTH patch for qmail, written by Mrs. Brisby, uses
"AUTH=LOGIN". The second and more robust SMTP AUTH patch, written by
Krzysztof Dabrowski, supports the ability to display "AUTH LOGIN" and/or
"AUTH=LOGIN" for maximum compatability, and also supports PLAIN and CRAM-MD5
authentication procedures as well.

I am attempting to setup multiple info@ accounts for some virtual hosts. We
need this to work in 2 difference ways.
Problem #1
Hosting multiple domains with individual POP3/SMTP mail accounts.
Lets say there are 5 email accounts per domain with each having its own
username/password.
I need to setup an [EMAIL PROTECTED] and an [EMAIL PROTECTED]
For [EMAIL PROTECTED] I want this to deliver to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and
[EMAIL PROTECTED] to deliver to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I am using the virtualdomains file in the [EMAIL PROTECTED]:username
format for each individual mail user.
I have attempted to setup an alias file to do this, but an .qmail-info will
send [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] to the same person.
Problem #2
I want to setup the same example above except that I want to map an
[EMAIL PROTECTED] to an actual username like infodomain3.
I have scoured the FAQ and cannot find exactly the same questions answered.
There are lots of examples for people who are hosting multiple domains and
forwarding all mail to a single user for passing on to another mail server,
but that is not what I am doing. I found one answer to Problem #1, but the
solution was to use an assign file and I don't really want to do that if at
all possible.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Eric

You need something like this instead: in virtual domains, put the following
lines:
info@virtualdomain1:user1
info@virtualdomain2:user2
Then, in user1's home directory, create a file .qmail-info which contains
delivery instructions for the info@virtualdomain1 account. See the manual
page for dot-qmail for details. Set up a similar file in user2's directory.

Add the following line to virtualdomains:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:infodomain3
This user will also need a .qmail-info file.

Nice Ken, but it doesn't work for me... I'm getting:

What did you think of "man dot-qmail"?

> What did you think of "man dot-qmail"?
what about a new one:
what does the man say (tm)
but to answer the original question:
in dot-qmail start a line with a pipe and then the prog.
the prog will receive mail (incl headers) as standard-in
(just like common shell script)

There are a couple ways to process mail.
1) Use Procmail, it's a very robust means of processing mail.
2) Forward your mail to a processing script thusly:
[1:39pm] rhines@paladin:~> more .qmail-mangle
# Process mail through mangle script and deliver to local mailbox
|./bin/mangle.ps
./Mailbox
Note that your .qmail filename can be anything from .qmail to
.qmail-default, or whatever.
Cheers

Can you log spam attempts with qmail?
When I attempt to send mail to a host not in rcpthosts nothing is logged about
the attempt.

qmail doesn't log relay attempts, but I made a tiny patch that'll make it log
them: http://www.palomine.net/qmail/logrelay.patch

qmail-smtpd doesn't log many things that it ought to. Check the archives
for the gory details, as well as patches.
Hello there,
I would like our mail to be firstly delivered
to my organisation's DMZ (through a regular
primary MX record), and then to make it
route to our internal network (private
IP addresses).
I think a "smtproute" that overrides the
DNS configuration might do it, but I'm
not sure.
Is this the proper way of doing it?
Thanks,
jp

Yes, this is one way. Configure the DNS so your MX record points to the public
interface of a qmail box in the DMZ. Then in that machine's
/var/qmail/control/smtproutes, place an entry for your internal domain name
pointing to the internal-only mail server.

yes, it is...
in fact, many companies hide their (e.g. m$ exchange) server that way.

Yes, that's just what you want.

I can't think of any other. Just keep in mind you still have to add the
domains to the "rcpthosts" file (but not in "locals"). And the inner
machine will also need the same "rcpthosts", plus "locals" or
"virtualdomains", depending on how you set it up.
On the optimization side, you have 2 choices:
- Either route all mail to the inner host, and let it handle everything
(not a _bad_ idea, but...)
- Specify a route each and every domain you want forwarded in "smtproutes".
It possibly takes some load off the inner host, and is easier to change if
you ever want to split the processing of different domains' mail through
different mailservers.

Hi,
I still can't figure out how to submit email for unknown user to postmaster
AND bounce it to sender.
I quoted my initial post below. Maybe it might help.
Some tips?

The qmail-lspawn and qmail-users manpages tell you how qmail treats
local adresses.

To quote from the ORBS site
Try Abuse.Net's new relay tester (requires registration). This is the
only web-based tester which carries out the same set of tests which ORBS
does.

So what is point of having a test that does not give correct
results? It would seem any qmail server will fail the test as
qmail will accept the miscreant mail and deal with it internally.
This behaviour, according to ORBS, will have you listed as an
open relay.

Are you a moron, or can you just not read? Do I have to quote from the ORBS
web site?
"ORBS only counts a host as open if it actually delivers the test messages.
Bounces are ignored for databasing purposes. Most of the online testers which
perform multiple tests stop as soon as one envelope is accepted, so may give
misleading results if they don't actually check for delivery and continue the
test sequence if the message isn't delivered."

Sigh. He must be referring to the place that says in large ugly
blinking letters:
<BLINK><B>THIS MAY OR MAY NOT MEAN THAT IT'S AN OPEN RELAY.</B></BLINK>
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 <B>IS NOT</B> an open relay.
I wish there were some way I could make this stuff more idiot
resistant, but some idiots can resist anything.

Look for a package called qmail-bounce or qmail_bounce. You can probably
find it with a decent web search.

You can find it at http://www.execpc.com/~bwightma/qmail/home.html .
However, I should note that this is clearly listed on the qmail page at
www.qmail.org. I'm getting tired of doing your homework for you, reach.

Is there any way to flush messages from the qmail queue?
--Tom Jackson
this is probably going to make people cry.
%> cd /var/qmail/
%> mkdir queue.flushed
%> mv `find queue/info queue/local queue/remote queue/mess -type f` \
queue.flushed
you cannot move to another partition because of inode numbers.

But It worked!
About qmail-tcpok, this didn't remove anything from the queue, it seems that it
might speed up re-delivery attempts, or is this incorrect?

I have a daemontools patch available that allows daemontools-0.70's
multilog to reintroduce accustamp-style time stamps if desired. The patch
introduces a "T" multilog action for that. Like the "t" action, it has
to be the first action given to multilog.
Using accustamps in multilog is particularly useful if the logs are run
through qmailanalog's matchup, since qmailananlog currently (0.70) is
not TAI64 aware.
A better approach would be to patch matchup, but that would not be as
simple as patching daemontools, so I'm not doing that at the moment.
Talking of safety: Do note that accustamp-style time stamps will only
work until the year 2038 since the 32-bit UNIX time will overflow then.
See http://cr.yp.to/time.html for detailed information.
My patch is available as context diff at:

Nahhhh. There's already a tai64nunix as well as tai64nfrac. While I
think Dan's just a *tad* early, I don't think we should be introducing
Y2.038K bugs into code that's already been fixed. I mean, I'm 42 now.
I'll only be 80 then. I expect I'll still be programming, and I don't
want to be in the position of today's coding veterans, who had to
admit that they let Y2K bugs slip through their fingers.

Hi,
I'm running qmail with some virtualdomains.
When I'm doing telnet to mail.maydomain.com port 110, I got error message like this:

Connected to mail.mydomain.com.
Escape character is '^]'.

FYI, I already set up in /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains:
mydomain.com:asfik
and /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts:
mydomain.com
What should I do first for solving this problem?
Thanks.
