I know that - what I do not know is what the :
973696610.343762 tcpserver: end 16494 status 256
status 256 is from - and as you can see - it is from tcpserver .....

Nope. qmail-analog is for qmail-send logs, NOT tcpserver logs.

It's the exit status of process 16494 (presumably qmail-smtpd) as returned by the
wait() system call to tcpserver.
You'll need to read up on the wait() system call to understand why the value
is 256, but here's a snippet:
o If the child process terminated due to an _exit()
call, the low order 8 bits of status will be 0 and the
high order 8 bits will contain the low order 8 bits of
the argument that the child process passed to _exit();
see exit(2).
In the case of qmail-smtpd it can mean a variety of things, but generally
that it failed to get input from the socket when it expected. qmail-smtpd
only exits with a status of zero if it gets a QUIT.

Your logs are your friend. Experienced qmail users on this list will know what
is wrong if you show the logs associated with the delivery. Why not give them
a chance to help you?

Hi,
I habe a problem with qmail-pop. The users Maildir exist
and new Mail will be delivered properly.
This shows the local telnetsession on pop3:
mail:~ # telnet localhost pop3
Trying ::1...
telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK <665.973685418@/bin/checkpassword>
user test1
+OK
pass test1
-ERR this user has no $HOME/Maildir
Connection closed by foreign host.
What have I to configure for proper work?

It looks like you forgot the hostname argument to qmail-popup.

Hmm. Generally speak, if the file already exists, then the ownership
and modes are unchanged. Agreed it depends on the shell.

Agreed. When modifying or replacing a file it behooves you to understand
how to interact with the program(s) accessing to that file. It differs
depending on the program. You cannot treat a mailbox like a syslog file
and you cannot treat a syslog file like a multilog file, etc.

No. But that doesn't justify posting it multiple times.

The most common reason is that you don't need it. .qmail files in ~alias
typically forward to another user in the system, and are then stored in
Maildirs (or mbox files) in that user's home directory.

You may use something like:
(if log from tai64 to human-readable)
cat /var/log/qmail/current | tai64nlocal
it should appear something like:
2000-11-08 09:22:13.435407500 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20
You can find the tai64nlocal in the daemontools package, made by djb

Not quite, try tailocal from daemontools-0.xx, where xx < 60.

"Are Linux users lemmings collectively jumping off of the cliff of
reliable, well-engineered commercial software?"
(By Matt Welsh)
Hello,
I need to implement a New Mail Notification; not for login like qbiff etc,
but more like notifiying users on another external email, SMS etc in the
future. So a simple forward won't do, I need to call some external script
each time new mail comes in.
How to best do this? I suppose we could use .qmail with a "program line"
(man dot-qmail) ... but will this work with with VMailMgr? Mail for users a
& b is actually stored in /home/vermail/users/a and /b, not in
/home/a/Mailbox etc. Where do I put the .qmail with VMailMgr?
Also thought of simply regularly scanning /home/vermail/users/[ab]/new ...
but hoping there is a cleaner solution.
Thanks very much,
Michael

I would modify vmailmgr so that when it delivers mail to a maildir, it
also logs a message somwhere. Then simply write a program that watches
that log for new incoming messages and takes the appropriate action.
I've done a similar modification to QMail itself and vpopmail.

This is what I do. I have a dot-qmail file that looks like this:
| if grep -i "^$SENDER" $HOME/.qmailpage > /dev/null; then sed -n -f
|$HOME/bin/mail2page.sed | qmail-inject -f$SENDER [EMAIL PROTECTED]; exit 0;
|else echo "You are noth authorized to send me a page"; exit 100; fi
| /usr/local/bin/maildrop
The first pipe will check that the sender is valid, and if so it will
allow the page through.
Here are the contents of mail2page.sed:
/^From:/p
/^Subject:/p
This works very well, provided that no on knows the real email address
of the pager and they don't spoof the SENDER. You could modify this
script not to return an error code, or not even check the sender for
that matter.
:-)

Will Procmail work with Qmail, and specifically vmailmgr?
Sorry I am having troubling understanding what exactly vmailmgr is and does.

Put it into vdeliver-postdeliver. See configuration.html for more

Don't forget the patch for qpopper. Qpopper defaults works
with /var/spool/mail/[userfile]. Only the patch enables to work with
maildir.

You don't have to do anything. After a week (default) they'll bounce and
be gone from your queue for good.
If you feel you absolutely _must_ fool with the queue manually, read all of
"Life with qmail" and all documentation pointed to by www.qmail.org first.

Mail that cannot be delivered will be retried for
/var/qmail/control/queuelifetime seconds, which defaults to one week (604800
seconds). After that, it will bounce. (man qmail-send)

If the mail has been delayed, then most likely the destination host
is not responding, and therefore forcing the queue will not cause it to be
delivered.
In order to see why mail isn't getting delivered, look at the logs.
Get the queue id using qmail-qread:
# qmail-qread
5 Nov 2000 00:32:30 GMT #716722 2940 <>
remote [EMAIL PROTECTED]
In this case, 716722. Now grep to get the last delivery attempt:
# grep 716722 /var/log/maillog | tail -1
Nov 8 04:32:31 zephyr qmail: 973675951.152330 starting delivery 46683: msg
716722 to remote [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Now grep for the details of that delievery attempt:
# grep 46683 /var/log/maillog
Nov 8 04:32:31 zephyr qmail: 973675951.152330 starting delivery 46683: msg
716722 to remote [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Nov 8 04:33:31 zephyr qmail: 973676011.198378 delivery 46683: deferral:
Sorry,_I_wasn't_able_to_establish_an_SMTP_connection._(#4.4.1)/
so, the mail server for thegamblingreport.com isn't responding.
Now, you could look it up to figure out what the IP is (209.67.50.203), and
telnet to port 25, and verify by hand that it isn't responding... but it
isn't really worth the trouble.
Having said all that, to force the queue to retry, send a kill -HUP
to the qmail-send process (this is in the FAQ, I forget the number.

It seems like the script called pop3-record is missing
back-slashes to escape double quotes.
(actually, it contains no double quotes ;)
#!/bin/sh
echo "$TCPREMOTEIP:allow,RELAYCLIENT=//" >>/etc/smtp.filter.newer
cat /etc/smtp.filter.* | /usr/blah/blah...
The above should read RELAYCLIENT=\"\""
You also may need
echo -e
depending on the shell.
hope this helped...

Hmm. I think those lines should be something more like this:
tcprulescheck $TCPDIR/qmail-smtpd.cdb "$TCPREMOTEIP" | \
grep RELAYCLIENT > /dev/null && exit 0
echo "$TCPREMOTEIP:allow,RELAYCLIENT=\"\"" >> $TCPDIR/smtp.filter.newer

Check to make sure that the patch to checkpassword inserted the line:
char *opensmtp = "/usr/local/bin/pop3-record";
Correctly, the error looks like it is coming from the
call *to* pop3-record from checkpassword, not pop3-record itself
(Hoping I am guessing correctly)

Open 2 backticks, close with 3 quotes, 2 escaped double-quotes and yet
another double-quote?
how about:
echo "$TCPREMOTEIP:allow,RELAYCLIENT=\"\"" >> $TCPDIR/smtp.filter.newer

In /etc/tcrules.d you may include a file called smtp.filter.zintern for internal

All-
I am attempting to process about 500 MB of qmail log files but continue to
run into the following bug when running the matchup program:
matchup: fatal: unable to write fd 5: file descriptor not open
I have isolated the problem to the matchup program by running the following
sequence of commands:
# cat /var/log/qmail/*.s /var/log/qmail/current > biglog.txt
# cat biglog.txt | /usr/local/qmailanalog/bin/tai64nfrac > big64nfrac.txt
# cat big64nfrac.txt | /usr/local/qmailanalog/bin/matchup > bigmatchup.txt
I get the above error on the last line of this sequence of commands.
I also get the same error if I string all of these commands together into a
single line such as:
# cat /var/log/qmail/*.s /var/log/qmail/current |
/usr/local/qmailanalog/bin/tai64nfrac | /usr/local/qmailanalog/bin/matchup >
bigmatchup.txt
Without being able to process all the data, I am afraid that I cannot
extract the information I desire using the other qmailanalog tools.
Thanks for the help.

How does this correspond to what the man page for matchup says:
matchup exits after it sees end of file. It prints pend
ing messages and deliveries on descriptor 5, in a format
suitable for input to a future invocation of matchup:
<log.1 matchup >out.1 5>pending.2
cat pending.2 log.2 | matchup >out.2 5>pending.3
cat pending.3 log.3 | matchup >out.3 5>pending.4

Thanks Jason, I will try your solution : it's the best one I guess.
And then I will directely add an antivirus :) Do you have one

Oliver,
Maybe you should try using the AMaViS Anti-Virus (http://amavis.org)
It's a great implemention to qmail-remote and qmail-local to an
anti-virus protection. Works with lots of commercial and free anti-virus
(for Unix!).
I use AMaViS with the Sophos Anti-Virus. Works wonderfully.

I have configured qmail to use vmailmgr to deliver messages without
maintaining individual accounts for every user.
This is a new system that has Redhat 6.2, Qmail 1.03, and Vmailmgr (not sure
of version off top of my head, but it must be the latest as I ftp'd it from
the vmailmgr site within the past 3 weeks.
I followed the LWQ instructions for qmail configuration w/ pop3 instructions
followed to use qmail-pop3d for access by Outlook users. I use Maildirs…
I believe I have a configuration issue in the delivery mechanism, and I'm
not sure where to look for instructions regarding correct chmod settings for
the delivery directories.
Since I use vmailmgr, my virtualhosts file is configured with
domain.com:vmuser
.domain.com:vmuser
In the vmuser home directory I have a .qmail-default that specifies
“|vdeliver “ so that the mail goes through the vmailmgr delivery mechanism…
What happens is that mail does not get delivered, and the logs report the
message “unable to change to maildir” in the qmail-send log (as configured
using supervise and multilog as per LWQ). Thus, I believe that qmail can
not deliver the mail to the vmailmgr user, and I have a qmail problem, not a
vmailmgr problem.
I have put the vmailmgr user under /usr/mail/vmuser. Is there an issue with
the permissions for the parent directories and/or the user directory? What
is the correct chmod settings? Also, what about user:group settings for
parent/child dirs…
Thanks ahead.

I don't think you will ever find the solution to this problem on this list.
Unfortunately, the attitude of many of the people on this list is that if it
concerns a Microsoft product, even if it concerns the way it interacts with
qmail, it is a non-problem. And basically they are right. The
closed-source nature of Microsoft products makes it impossible for anyone
but Microsoft to correct or even identify the problem.
I do resent the people that say the solution is to use a better mail client.
That is like saying the cure to sunburn is to not have the sun come up.
People overwhelmingly choose to use MS products for various reasons, and
these people are not necessarily losers because of it. Not everyone has the
capability or desire to be a Unix guru. And not every shop has to deal with
MS products, and I envy those. But ISPs and many other installations HAVE
to deal with them if you want to keep customers. Not a choice. Its a fact
of life, just like the sun coming up.
All this ranting aside, there is a serious problem with the way Outlook and
Outlook Express interface with qmail, but I don't think it is exclusive to
qmail. One of the reasons I migrated to qmail about 2 years ago was because
I was experiencing the same problems that you are seeing with a but the
product was called SLMail (for NT). Migrating to qmail did not solve the
problem, but it sure made it easier to go in and find the offending item and
delete it when using the maildir configuration. SLMail used a mailbox-type
config where mail items are combined in one big text file. Now when the
customer or client calls and says Outlook is hanging on item 4 or 10, I can
easily go into their maildir and delete the offending item instead of
searching through a big text file. In addition, I set up Sam's sqwebmail
web-based interface which allows customers to go to the server and delete
the offending item themselves. This works well for those having recurring
problems.
I have gathered a little bit of knowledge in dealing with this problem:
1. Sometimes the problem is just caused by a poor connection.
Disconnecting and reconnecting may allow you to retrieve it.
2. Sometimes there are control characters imbedded in email that makes
Outlook barf. If you identify this control char and delete it, Outlook will
retrieve the mail successfully. I think this causes most of the problems,
but it is not usually apparent where the control character. In some cases
the control character looks like an 'at' sign with an underscore below it.
3. It seems to hang more often on big items or items with attachments.
This may just be due to the fact that the connection is open longer and has
more work to do.
4. Deleting the offending items always cures the problem if it is a
corrupted file or one containing a 'bad' control character. The client can
retrieve the rest of the mail after the offending file is gone, without
re-dialing. If it is a connection problem, they may still not be able to
retrieve the rest of the mail after the offending item is gone. In that
case they should try to reconnect, and troubleshooting should focus on the
connection itself.
Sadly, that is the best I can do. If you really want a solution, maybe the
author of Outlook...or perhaps even Bill Gates would be willing help
(right).
Dennis Duval
Hm.... this is a lot of effort to make excuses for a shabby product.
Empherical data would suggest that my Eudora MUA performs MUCH better
over WAN/Dial up that OE ever did/will.
What do you mean 'interact' with qmail? The commands are quite clearly
defined as are the must's and should's of the protocol. Sure, qmail is a
fundementalist MTA in its coding... but you either follow the standard or
you don't. MS products don't, they don't interoperate wll with ANYTHING
(even exchange servers).
If I get 10 phone calls for support, 9 will be Outlook somehow boggeling a
message or not conencting properly. I HIGHLY doubt the 'dirty connection'
issue as TCP and modems et al all have error correction built in and
seeing that rebooting is the 'only' way to correct it, it clearly points
to an end user/software issue (as 100 other people are getting the mail
FINE off the same PRI/RAS/LAN/SERVER.

Hey,
I am trying to use a dot-qmail file called .qmail-clayton.cottingham and it
seems that qmail can't handle files with dots in them. It works fine without
the dot. Is this true? How can I make it work?
thanks.

It's documented, so it must be true.

Read any of the numerous qmail FAQs, or the man page for dot-qmail. Pay
particular attention to the "Extension Addresses" section.

I hate to rant, and I know that the it says to read the FAQ and documentation,
etc., before posting, but wouldn't it have been easier than writing the complete
response to just give him the answer, and even if you didn't know the answer, not
comment at all and let someone who does, give the answer.
It's so much easier than the "treat someone like an idiot and tell them to
RTFM" approach. Someone asks in ignorance and you smack him down. The fact of
the matter is that there is SO much information available to the qmail community
and it's not well organized, I'm surprised we don't see more of these questions.
It's a known flaw to open source (ok, so this is flame bait, but it's true, and I
support open source).
Sorry, just my $0.02

The point is that by pointing the original poster to the documentation, he
might actually do *his* *own* *homework* (horrors!). In the process, he
might actually learn something more than what he was asking.
For instance, what if, after his original question, he asked, ``What are the
valid formats for lines in a .qmail file?'' Or what if he didn't ask but was
curious? Wow, that appears in the dot-qmail manpage as well.
Further, Mr. Cazabon did NOT treat anyone ``like an idiot''. He *did* say,
basically, RTFM even while pointing out the exact FM. What exactly would you
have him do, reproduce the documentation for the mailing list everytime the
question comes up? That's why there is documentation at all!
One last interesting comment: In two years of running qmail on about six or
seven different machines in different environments, I have *never* (that I
can remember) found the documentation lacking. Chaotic or not, the qmail
home page at <http://www.qmail.org/> is as comprehensive as anything I've
ever seen.

I give on this portion. Though, perhaps it would have been better to say "here
is the answer, although if you look at the man page for <blah> you may find
other useful information as well".

I feel that he did treat him like an idiot with the blatant statement "It's
documented, so it must be true.", it's a statement of "Haha, a opportunity to
be snide".

Re-reading my original email to verify, I discovered that I had said the same
exact thing, that being "...The fact of the matter is that there is SO much
information available to the qmail community and it's not well organized...".
I guess it was my hidden call for some organization of documentation.

If you run
http://www.qmail.org/qmail-lint-0.55
it will answer your question. In fact, run that program whenever
your qmail installation is doing something strange.

Good afternoon, y'all...
Has anyone exprienced problems with VERP and recipients behind Lotus
Domino? I've been having some problems with a few of my ezmlm
recipients that are using Lotus Domino as their mail server. It appears
that Domino flagrantly flies in the face of RFC822 by rejecting any
"mail from:<blah>" containing an equals sign. Ex:
[insyte@blah insyte]$ telnet scooby.helpsystems.com 25
Trying 209.32.71.125...
Connected to scooby.helpsystems.com.
Escape character is '^]'.

helo doofus
250 Requested mail action okay, completed
mail from:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
553 Requested action not taken: mailbox name not allowed
quit
221 SMTP server closing transmission channel
Connection closed by foreign host.
[insyte@blah insyte]$
Anyone else seen this? Does anyone have any spiffy ideas for working
around this? Perhaps some way to rewrite the headers to a few specific
users to eliminate the VERP?
I tried posting this to the ezmlm list, but I haven't seen any traffic
there for weeks...

I'd say that is a completely screwed up smtp server or maybe a firewall.

Tried a few things with our Lotus Domino Servers and they all work fine
even with VERPish sender addresses
Don't care too much, ezmlm will happily remove the users after some time :-)
I usually simply ignore these errors, because I am really tired to try
to work around the 1000th broken mailserver out there written by ppl or a
company or maintained by someone who doesn't have a clue.
They don't pay someone who knows what he's doing, so why should I invest
time (and thus my company's money) just to get mail through their
broken system.
I'd also do myself a favour and save some bits of bandwidth and cpu cycles
and block those hosts/addresses (tcpcontrol and/or badmailfrom).

Hi guys,
I don't very understand the qmail delivery procedure.
I got couple questions.
If a email bounced back, how offen the qmail will try to send it again?
try how many times?
and how long the qmail will give up?
If qmail give up, how it process the bounced email? delete it from queue
and forward it to Mail-daemon@localhost?
Can we control the retry interval and the longest waiting time?
Is it possible qmail forget a mail in the queue? if so, how can we dump
it out?
my qmail yesterday sunddenly sent a 2-week-old local domain email to a
co-worker.
this really bother some people,
Thanks for help.
Has anyone successfully installed qmail on Mac OSX public beta? i get
this far:
auto-str.c: In function `main':
auto-str.c:15: warning: return type of `main' is not `int'
./load auto-str substdio.a error.a str.a
/usr/bin/ld: can't use -s with input files containg indirect symbols
(output file must contain at least global symbols, for maximum stripping
use -x)
make: *** [auto-str] Error 1
I can't say that I know what an indirect symbol is. Any ideas?
I hear that some people had success with OSX-Server, but I don't see why
OSX (non-server) would be any different with respect to a program like
qmail.

I've managed to compile qmail under MacOSX-server and from what I
remember I had some similar problems. I don't know it all by
heart since it was about 18 months ago :) but I think I still
have some notes about it. I'll mail it to the list later on
today.

SuSE *sucks* -> http://www.fehcom.de/qmail/qmail_suse.html - this should
really be in LWQ ;-)

One of our developers developed a web based form for email.
He did not put in anything for handling mail with blank TO/FROM fields,
so...
Now I have ~3500 messages sitting in the queue like:
8 Nov 2000 22:36:25 GMT #581646 2160 <>
remote [EMAIL PROTECTED]
server.domain.com does not listen on port 25, so qmail complains about not
being able to establish an
SMTP connection.
My question is, can I delete all these messages from the queue in one shot?
and if so, how would I go about
doing so.
thanks,
~Doug

get this utility: http://www.redwoodsoft.com/~dru/programs/mailRemove.py
it's very handy to remove some unwanted queue.

ok i'm lost!!! i've installed qmail twice now, following lwq, but i am
a total newbie to linux :-( i'm running redhat 6.2, i have a static ip
of 12.7.223.212 which my isp is pointing 4 domains to (they are my
primary & secondary name servers, but they won't host ). I can send
using qmail-inject but when i try to send to [EMAIL PROTECTED] from
another machine it bounces back to me??? i realize this is a dns
problem but i've been trying for 2 weeks and i've run out of ideas... i
tried setting resolv.conf to
nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver blkft.com
but when the machine rebooted because of a power failure it went back to
my isp address???
can someone point me to any good resources for dumbies??? or give me
any advice???
Thanks!!!

(sorry no signature!!!)
qmail-inject currently does not allow addresses of the following format:
hostmaster@opennic
If defaultdomain is left empty, then "defaultdomain" is appended to the
address. If QMAILDEFAULTDOMAIN is set to "", then a "." is appended to
the address:
hostmaster@opennic.
The RFC is pretty clear that legal domain names have the format
domain = subdomain*(.subdomain)
Does anybody know whether this is an intended feature or a bug? Based
on my research, it appears this particular "feature" isn't compliant
with the RFC.
There is an entire world of alternative TLDs out there, of which opennic
is one (see http://www.opennic.unrated.net for more details). If this
is, in fact, a bug, I've got a patch which will prevent qmail-inject
from appending a "." when QMAILDEFAULTDOMAIN is set to "". But I wanted
to make sure this was truly a problem in need of a fix.

Why should anyone need a patch?
Simply don't set QMAILDEFAULTDOMAIN at all.
The problem ist not with qmail-inject, it's a configuration error.

Is is possible to combine qmail with ssl?
If it is so I will know of a new feature.

problem of qmail-queue.
Its working now...

Im using Qmail with vpopmail and I'm trying to figure out how to be able to
send a forwarding message to
an external account.
I have a couple of servers with Qmail and vpopmail on them, but the one in
question is diffrent from the others somehow.
Here's the case:
The domain is ermax.dk, and let's say the user is edb
The 'edb' user is just a pop account, and dosn't have any aliases.
The directory listing for that account is : /home/vpopmail/domains/ermax/edb
When mail is received for [EMAIL PROTECTED] a copy should be sent to a GSM phone,
eq: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
On my other server I solved this by editing the alias files under
/home/vpopmail/domains/<domain>/.qmail-fjw
Like so :
/home/vpopmail/domains/wise.no/frank/Maildir/
&[EMAIL PROTECTED]
And it works just fine!
But when I tried doing the same on the other server and with ermax.dk is
just wouldn't deliver to any address at all, local or
remote.
I guess this has got something to do with the fact at there are no aliases
under ermax.dk, but is there a way to do forwarding
to a secound account remotely with just the pop account?

Hi,
I'd like to forward a copy of any outgoing mails from user A in my local
domain to user B in my local domain.
I know how to make that for user A incoming mails, but I cannot find any
solution for outgoing mails.
Need help !
Thanx

Hi
all...
I have a question
regarding backing up the vast amounts of qmail that our corp is going to
compile.
I intend on using
Maildir and IMAP to store all email on the qmail server.
What is the best way
to store, potentially, 20 to 50 gigs of email ?
Is there a GPL BRU
style backup util ?
Obviously, a tape
drive will be needed to store the mail, so the GPL backup util would have the
support tape drives.
Any suggestions
would be appreciated ?
Cheers
Dennis
