this happens on most, if not all .c files.
Anybody know how I can fix this? What effects this have?
I'm running a Red Hat Linux release 6.2 (Zoot)
Kernel 2.2.16-3 on an i686
I 'm having big troubles getting qmail to work and are wondering if this is
the problem. I would appreciate promt replys since the server now is
without email capabilities ...
Thanks in advance,

This is quite normal! That is because the main Function has Return Type void.

Could you be more specific?

Hi ,
I'm using Qmail with spam control but , there are someone forcing to
use my server to spam . Yesterday I received about 8000 Mailer-Daemon emails
in my postmaster account . I checked the logs when this emails were arriving
and I saw the message "sorry, _no_mailbox_here_by_that_name".
When I looked at the body of this emails , I saw that someone was
generating a randomic user and adding my domain so , It sent the messages to
various email server that didn't accept the message and returned the message
to my domain .
Please , I need some help urgentily !
Roberto Samarone Araujo
Hi,
this topic has been already discussed on this list few times.
If I understand you clearly, the problem is this: someone has a huuge list
of email addresses where he wants to deliver spam. In this list are
thousands of old addresses. The spammer does not want to get all these
error messages back and therefore he forges the "From:" part of the
headers, so it looks as if someone in your domain was sending these
spams. Therefore all the error messages go to you. Since your server
must bounce these messages back and some of these bounces are unsuccessful,
they end up in your mailbox.
The only solution that I am able to come up with, is to stop bouncing
messages. You can do this by creating an empty ~alias/.qmail-default
file. After that, [EMAIL PROTECTED] will be accepted and
immediately forgotten.
However, this has some drawbacks. If someone misspells your address,
neither him nor you will find out. You can write a script that does some
heuristics and bounces the messages back only if they come from, say, few
known domains. Or opposite, you can bounce all messages which do not
origin from your spammer.
Petr
btw, can I see a sample with full headers?

Our mailing system has near about 2 lacks users and currently we are on
NT system. Now we are planning to move to solaris system. I am
exploring options like courier , qmail, sendmail etc. After hunting on
the net I came to know that many people are using qmail SMTP with
courier IMAP server. And qmail SMTP is a most popular SMTP server to
handle high load. Can anybody give me compariion of these qmail and courier
SMTP servers?
I have successfuly installed courier with MSSQL database but could not get
qmail working with MSSQL database. That's why I am going for courier
servers.
Is there anybody having such userbase and using courier servers ( smtp,
pop , IMAP ) ?
Please Help.
Thanx

In my original mail, my (slightly snide) comment about "it's documented, and
therefore true" was intended to be humourous, not demeaning. Regardless of how
it came across, it was followed immediately by:
> Read any of the numerous qmail FAQs, or the man page for dot-qmail. Pay

So I pointed him to the precise section of the particular manpage which
documented the behaviour he was asking about. I thought that was about as
useful an answer as he could have received; after all, he might forget the
specifics of how qmail-local handled extension addresses, but he might be
able to remember that they were documented in the dot-qmail manpage.

"Bounce" implies permanent error from the remote end or inability to
connect to the remote within the appropriate time. No mail system (except,
um, Outlook) retries bounced mail. However, for temporary errors:
See queuelifetime in 'man qmail-send'
See "Does qmail back off from dead hosts?" in the FAQ.

See queuelifetime in 'man qmail-send'

Bounces are returned to the sender. If the bounce bounces, it'll
end up in the local postmaster account.
> Can we control the retry interval
No - you don't really want to, anyway.
> and the longest waiting time?
Yes - see queuelifetime in 'man qmail-send'

Unlikely.
> if so, how can we dump it out?
If you want to force it to bounce before the queuelifetime is up,
see the following tip from www.qmail.org/top.html:
"Frederik Vermeulen says: If you don't want a specific undeliverable mail to
sit in the queue any longer, you can make it reach the queuelifetime by
running touch -d '1 week ago' on its queue/info file. It will then be
bounced after one more delivery attempt."

If the message bounces (i.e. permanent error with a 5xx code), it will not
be tried again. It will be returned to the envelope sender. All MTAs should
behave this way.
On the other hand, if there is a temporary error (4xx code, also known as a
deferral), qmail will retry periodically for a period of time set by
/var/qmail/control/queuelifetime, which defaults to one week.
If you need more details, there is a table of retry intervals for the default
queuelifetime in "Life with qmail" by Dave Sill.

It goes to the SMTP envelope sender.

> it out?
Wait a week and it goes away on its own. To modify the queue manually,
you must stop qmail first. Read about this on www.qmail.org first.

The problem is that we're an ISP. The people who bought the mailing
list are the ones behind the broken box, whatever it may be. They
either get their messages or take their business elsewhere.
I'll pursue the firewall angle today.

My session and yours don't look at all similar. Odd.
Has anyone seen a session similar to mine before? I have no idea what I
was talking to, as it certainly doesn't appear to have been a Lotus
Domino box as I was informed.

Just in case anyone encounters a similar problem, it was traced back to
a "Watchguard" firewall that was prohibiting the "=" in SMTP
transactions. Turned that off and it works like a charm.
Thanks for all your help!

There's lots of pointers to qmail+LDAP or qmail+MySQL at www.qmail.org.

What do you mean "accepting email from the Internet"?
That only would be a problem if you have "roaming" users AFAIK.
I tell my roaming users to use the SMTP of the provider they use to dial-in.
No problems experienced so far.

I believe the issue is that if you deny everything, you cannot be
using QMail to accept incoming mail...

I believe the point is that if you only accept connections to your SMTP port
from the hosts in hosts.allow, you won't be able to receive mail from anywhere
else on the 'net.

We need a qmail 1.04. The instructions in INSTALL are out of date.
People should be told to use ucspi-tcp and daemontools. The software
is fine. It's just the documentation that needs to change. As
always, I'm happy to do the work, if Dan is too busy.
Why am I so adament that qmail-1.04 MUST be released? To reduce
support costs and help people more quickly. A potential customer sent
me the following question:
Is there any way or any command by which i can mannually push all
the mails to required destination which r there in the queue.
Of course it's a FAQ, but I would really *really* like to tell him
``Just do this: svc -a /service/qmail''. I can't do that, though,
because not everyone installs qmail that way. Instead, I have to tell
him "You have to send an alarm signal to qmail-send." And he has to
figure out how to do that on his system.

No. I'm suggesting that we need a qmail 1.04. It need only change
the documentation. The software is perfectly fine, although you could
argue that it needs a qmail-conf program just like djbdns has. You
could also argue that virtualdomains and -owner files don't work
right.

I 100% agree with that.
The most usefull patches should also be included in the
official distribution, with for example a good ./configure
to select the one you need.

sounds to be a great idea. First time i tried installing qmail i got confused
because i didn´ t know what patches/add-ons are worth a look at or even not
needed in a default install. Putting all (most needde parts) into a well
documented one would be a great thing.. imho :)

I think this is an excellent idea.
I would also add that I think a few patches could be included (or added
if this was ok) - my suggestions would be:-
big-dns.patch
condredirect.patch
big-concurrency.patch
syncdir.patch
Although big-dns is not essential, and syncdir is only needed on Linux.
The condredirect may also be optional ! I appear to have argued my way
out of the patches - but I just trying to be flexible (big-concurrency
apears the only essential one in humble view.)
I can only repeat I think this is an excellent idea.
I could contribute an install script (based on LWQ and for redhat /
Linux but could be adapted (the only distro specific part is the
addition to run levels)).
Thanks Russ.

P.S.: I personally think, that qmail is great, wouldn't change a thing,
excpt maybe for the documentation, but hey... There is a good thing to it...
This way you are forced into digging into qmail and actually understanding
it...

It handles partial doman names (the clause "virtualdomains may contain
wildcards" in man qmail-send) but it does not handle username
extensions in a way that is useful for, e.g., virtual mailinglists.
If you have an entry "user@domain:prepend", user is matched exactly
with no special treatment for user-owner or
user-return-bouncing-address etc.

Does the qmail-pop3d service lock access to the mailbox while a client
is connected? I have situations where the same user may attempt to
connect from different locations simultaneously. The POP3 RFC says
that while one connection is active, other connections to the same
mailbox should be locked out. But, reading qmail-pop3d.c, I don't see
any such mechanism.
Also, I need a POP3 service that implements the "Status: RO" mechanism
to indicate that a message has be retrieved. (This is a mechanism in
which the mail server adds a "Status: RO" header field to a message
after it has been retrieved.) Has anyone implemented an add-on to
qmail-pop3d that does this?

POP was not meant to be used that way. What may happen is that one
qmail-pop3d returns an error if another deletes a file that was there
when the first one started.
The POP server does need to "lock" the mailbox to prevent newly
delivered messages to mess it up while the POP server is active,
however. For qmail, the Maildir storage method prevents this from
happening so there is no need for locks.

Is there a way to require username/password for a user to be able to relay
email (SMTP auth)? Is there a way to encrypt the connection?
I know sendmail does this though something called sash, but I would rather
use qmail since it seems more robust, any ideas?
Jack
Look for patches at qmail.org, particularly those by Mrs. Brisby and
Krzysztof Dabrowski. Dabrowski's patch supports the CRAM-MD5 encrypted
challenge/response method of authentication, in addition to clear-text
passwords.

There's some pointers about SMTP auth on the qmail page at www.qmail.org --
or you could look into an SMTP-after-POP or SMTP-after-IMAP solution,
such as Bruce Guenter's relay-ctrl package. It's also pointed to from the
page above.

I seen http://members.elysium.pl/brush/qmail-smtpd-auth/ and it looks really
good. That is what I am going with on the smtp-auth side of things.
The only other thing I was wondering, is how to have a secure connection
between the client and server. Could I just wrap both qmail's pop3d and
smtpd around stunnel and setup the client for "encrypted mode"?

Yes. ~joe/.qmail-default will control all extension address for "joe" which
are not handled more specifically. You can do the same for the alias user.

Maybe I can simplify the issue here by asking a question:
Is it the consensus here that the following is RFC822 compliant:
defaultdomain: empty
QMAILDEFAULTDOMAIN=""
qmail-inject converts you@somewhere -> you@somewhere. (note the period)

Q. Has anyone been able to get qmail working with
xinetd?
A. yes, here
is the entry info service smtp
{
flags = REUSE NAMEINARGS
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = qmaild
server = /usr/sbin/tcpd
server_args = /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env -R /var/qmail/bin/qmail -smtpd
}
Contributed by: Anthony Abby
This method will allow you to set
environment variables and whatnot in /etc/hosts.allow. Although xinetd
can be compiled with libwrap support, this doesn't mean it can completly replace
tcpd's functionality. xinetd calls host_access(), which performs the
access control documented in host_access(5) man page. This is a subset
of the features offered by tcpd.

Can someone post an example hosts.allow line that will set the
RELAYCLIENT environment variable correctly? I can't figure out what
works. (This is RH 7.0 running xinetd with librwap support.)

qmail-smtpd is not "daemonizable". You have to use a tcpwrapper, whichever

I plan on writing a script to do all of that (php is good for more than web

When I do, I'll send a link to the list, if anyone's interested. I think
that some of that user adding stuff is kinda specific to every server, but
you can modify :)

My /var/qmail/users/assign file looks like this:
+gv-:fred:1000:1003:/usr/local/squid/bin:-:gv:
.
Note that the 'gv-' line is a wildcard - I understand this to mean that any
email received for any address that begins with 'gv-' will be processed by
this configuration line. I ran qmail-newu to make it active. The problem is
that I am executing the .qmail-default config file in squid, not the
.qmail-gv file. I have read the documentation but it is a little too sparse
for me. Can anyone explain how the last two arguments in an 'assign' line
work for wildcards?
Thanks,
Tony

Change the name of .qmail-gv to .qmail-gv-default.
When qmail receives an email addressed to gv-ext, the above line tells it
to look for .qmail-gv-ext. If the file exists, qmail uses the file. If
the file does not exist, qmail then looks for .qmail-gv-default. If this
file exists, qmail uses this file. If the file does not exist, qmail
looks for .qmail-default.
Notice: At no time in the above sequence does qmail look for or use
.qmail-gv.

Howdy, all.
Our outbound mail server spends the vast majority of its resources
(attempting to) bounce mail (usually from spam :( ). The result is that
sometimes, when load is very heavy, normal outbound deliveries sit in the
queue and wait a while. So...
I'd like to set up a dedicated machine to handle bounces. The bounce* and
doublebounce* control files don't appear to be useful here. And I don't see
how I can garner the help of smtproutes, either. What I really want is the
following logic: "A message needs to be bounced? Relay it first to
192.168.N.N and let him handle it."
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Hi again,
I took a free hdd and installed a minimal FreeBSD-system and I only have
installed
qmail, just to be sure that there aren't any configuration errors or
compliances.
After the installation of relay-ctrl I changed the run script of pop3d
from
[...]
sh -c 'exec '\
'softlimit ${DATALIMIT+"-d$DATALIMIT"} '\
'/usr/local/bin/tcpserver '\
' -vDRHl0 '\
|...]
to
[...]
sh -c 'exec '\
'envuidgid qmaild '\
'softlimit ${DATALIMIT+"-d$DATALIMIT"} '\
'/usr/local/bin/tcpserver '\
' -vUDRHl0 '\
[...]
After that the relay-ctrl-allow wasn't executed longer as root, but I
still get
"authorization failed". Any ideas where to look for errors or misstakes?
The complete
run script of the pop3d is following:
#!/bin/sh
exec 2>&1 \
envdir ./env \
sh -c 'exec '\
'envuidgid qmaild '\
'softlimit ${DATALIMIT+"-d$DATALIMIT"} '\
'/usr/local/bin/tcpserver '\
' -vUDRHl0 '\

'/usr/local/bin/checkpassword '\
'/usr/local/sbin/relay-ctrl-allow' \
'/var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir'
Perhaps the used "checkpassword" is the Misstake?

In fact seems to be your checkpassword!
I'm using http://www.whirlycott.com/phil/checkpoppasswd.c which you have to
compile with gcc -o checkpassword checkpoppasswd.c -lcrypt
To generate a Password use the following Perl Script...
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
print "Please enter a Word you wanna use as POP3 Password: ";
$pass=<STDIN>; chomp($pass);
print "Now enter a 2 Letter Salt Value: ";
$salt=<STDIN>; chomp($salt);
print "Generated Password is: "; print crypt($pass, $salt);
print "\n";

Sam Varshavchik has released his MTA, which is called Courier. See:
http://courier.sourceforge.net
(Is sourceforge always this slow?)
Sam is the author of maildrop, courier-imap, and sqwebmail.
Courier is still prerelease--though I don't know whether it's
considered alpha or beta--but it looks pretty interesting.
It borrows heavily from qmail (maildirs, extension addresses,
modularity, delivery instructions) but adds a lot (DSN, filtering,
IMAP, POP, webmail) and "fixes" things Sam thought qmail did wrong
(single-RCPT delivery, always-send-8, licensing, no bouncing of local
recipients during SMTP dialogue, not actively maintained).
I've grabbed it, but I haven't installed it anywhere yet. I don't have
a lot of experience with Sam's code: procmail has always been good
enough for me, and courier-imap was too functionally limited for the
one IMAP installation I set up. The Courier web pages don't say much
about security other than there are four setuid root modules.
Has anyone checked it out?

I use Courier-IMAP alongside vpopmail (Courier-IMAP will authenticate
against vpop) and maildrop. Both have impressed me with their stability
and logical design. I have not used the complete MTA, though.
What did you find limited about the functionality of Courier-IMAP?

Not yet, but reading the documentation makes me doubt if I should.
Courier seems to have hardcoded behaviour to reject certain messages
based on content, like invalid MIME headers, to 'prevent Courier itself
from sending out RFC-incompliant messages'.
I don't want my MTA to touch or look at content of messages on SMTP
injection.
Sourceforge is terribly slow here too, by the way.
I might look at courier when I have more time on my hands.

At the very least give maildrop a go. I was a die-hard procmail user for
many years, but was beginning to have too many occassions of procmail
swallowing all the RAM on my workstation to process a large mail message
(procmail does all processing in RAM). maildrop uses tempfiles and so
doesn't have that problem, but in all other respects appears to do
everything procmail does.
The rest of Courier is great too - fully ESMTP support for DSN, TLS/SSL,
AUTH along with all the goodies of Qmail we've come to love.
But as the docs state - it's not the number-crunching monster Qmail is - it
can't beat Qmail on throughput - but for site receiving less than (say) a
million messages a day - it won't matter ;-)
BTW, Courier does SMTP, IMAP, Webmail with native support for LDAP/PAM/MySQL
auth backends... Pretty bloody comprehensive...
Just my opinion.

Hello,
Is it possible to write the username and hopefully connection status
(good, password rejected, etc.) of any connections to qmail-pop3d through
tcpserver?
We are starting tcpserver with:
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R 0 pop3 \
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup aeryn.gwi.net \
/usr/local/bin/checkpassword \
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 2>&1
And using the daemontools logger:
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/setuidgid qmaill /usr/local/bin/multilog t s2500000
/var/log/qmail/qmail-pop3d
Thanks for any input.

No, but it is possible to use a password checker that logs. Check the
qmail web site and the archives... there are a few out there.

Just put in multiple addresses in the .qmail file---they should each be
separated by a newline. That's all folks.

CU,
Michael!
So this is not what i want... I know that email client when you open new
mail gives you a request if you want or not to send notification. But that
is not our sulution.
This request must send remote SMTP server automaticaly. Not client
software...
Have you any solution for this???
I know there is in qmail qreceipt... Do anyone know what is it and how i can
use it ???

I don't thik the problem is in qmail. I tryed this:
send two messages from Netscape 4.7 with Return Receipt checked thgrow my
qmail.
The first message I read with Outlook Express and it did not ask me to send
receipt, althow in the header there was line
Disposition-Notification-To: Biliana Galabova <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
The other messages I read with Netscape and it asked me if I want to send
receipt - everithyng fine.
So I think this is MUA problem.

Ok thanks for help about aliases.
Yet, I've got a new problem ...
I created some users recently with good passwords,
with good directories
e.g. > ~user/.qmail >
./Maildir (like others users for
whom it works)
and a maildirmake Maildir
(too)
a qmail restart
And when i send them mails, qmail says me there's
no mailbox,
Why ???
Thanks

Hello,
sorry if the question is stupid.
I would like that my qmail server saves for example an email for the user
candreol
in a remote mailbox candreol that is on another computer (in my case a
lotus notes server).
How is done the configuration on Qmail ?
thank you
