Your startup script is messed up. Post it and someone will tell you how to fix
it.

You're missing the port argument. You need to put "smtp" between "0" and
"/usr/local/bin/rblsmtpd."

hello list,

i'm new to qmail.
i've installed successfully qmail, qmail-smtpd and qmail-pop3d.
i would like to know if there's an imap server - working together with 
qmail - too?

Some words were a bit hard, I'm sorry for that. I got a bit angry about 
another post on qmail-ldap's list. I shouldn't have mixed that with this mail 
- afterwards it's always easy to say "i should have".

I would say you've got a typo in your qmail-smtpd run script.  Either download
a new copy from Dave Sill's site (rather than trying to type it manually),
or post your current script here so we can see what's wrong with it.

we have lately gotten tons of mails from external senders with weird To:
entries based on various email client address books with commas,
semicolons, whitespaces and such.

so i now want to *stop* qmail from automatically expanding
"To: whatever" into "To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
so that only intact [EMAIL PROTECTED] entries in To: fields will be
handled -
and reject the others.

how can i do that? just set defaulthost to something like "defaulthost"
?
and is it possible to have different handling for incoming and outgoing
mails?

current settings are:
# more /var/qmail/control/me
mail.webseek.de
# more /var/qmail/control/defaulthost
webseek.de




> we have lately gotten tons of mails from external senders with weird To:

This has nothing to do with the To: header. Somehow you get the mail 
through SMTP (external senders?) - Then only the envelope receiver is 
used.

About qmail-smtpd:
            Envelope recipient  addresses  without  @  signs  are
            always allowed through.

To avoid this you would have to patch qmail-smtpd.

I doubt that the sender is really external - you wouldn't get the mail 
through SMTP because of missing MX records. I think there is a wild 
running script or a buggy SMTP client inside your network.

Regards, Frank

you were right, i found the bad guy: one of our users had entries like
"display name: Name, Firstname" in their netscape address book, and the
external people had replied to his mails using "Reply To All" *sigh*

Yes it is. And quite easy too. All you need to do is replace checkpassword
with an dummy program that changes to an innocuous home directory that has
an empty Maildir (assuming the usual Maildir in home).

A good idea is to have a look at the existing checkpassword.c, but essentially
all you need your replacement checkpassword to do is:

#! /bin/sh
cd /home/dummy
exec $*


And that's it! Of course you need an empty Maildir in /home/dummy.

This replacement checkpassword simply ignores the user and password retreived
by qmail-popup - but do you care whether they get their password right or
wrong during this maintenance period? They only see an empty mailbox regardless.

As an added precaution, you should also setuid and setgid away from root,
but you can achieve this by having a different invocation of tcpserver.


Regards.




I've looked and not found much so here goes:
I have used newaliases on several systems, however it only creates an
aliases.db. 
Perhaps I'm overlooking something simple. I've gotten the cdb source, used
cdbmake, doesn't
seem compatible, cdbmake-12 does the same thing. I end up with a .cdb file
however 
printforward won't read it. 
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Collin

The man page for newaliases indicates otherwise.

cdbs are application dependant. A cdb for fastforward won't work for
tcpserver, for example.

I'm running a Debian system with Qmail 1.03.  Everything has been working
fine, until yesterday the server quit accepting connections on port 25.  I
checked and qmail-send, qmail-lspawn, qmail-rspawn, and qmail-clean are all
running fine, but the tcpserver for qmail is not running.  I stopped it
using the init scripts, and tried restarting. On restart, I get this error:
Starting mail-transfer agent: qmail./qmail: xrealloc: cannot reallocate 512
bytes (0 bytes allocated)

I know my tcpserver is OK because I'm using it to run qmail-pop3d, which is
working fine.   My command to start the tcpserver for qmail is:

/usr/bin/tcpserver -- -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb \
            -g65534 -u64011 0 smtp \
            /usr/sbin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1 | logger -t qmail -p mail.notice &

I checked to make sure that the user and group numbers were correct, and
they are.  I know the tcp.smtp.cdb database is OK, since it works with
qmail-pop3d.  Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be causing that
error?

hello,

does anyone know about an sasl patch for qmail?
or are there builtin features for sasl smntp auth i haven't found yet?
thanks in advance
achim.





Dear all,

Does anyone experienced that part or whole of the mail has been put piece by piece in 
the qmail queue's local directory (/var/qmail/queue/local/23/57890) rather than just 
the receiver's mail address??

Any problems that may leads to this symptom???

thanks and regards,
Eric

Eric, based on the problem you were having yesterday with qmail-smtpd,
and now this one, it sounds like you have a seriously corrupted qmail
install. I'd suggest recompiling from scratch.

This is how qmail normally operates.  All messages are first placed in the
queue before being sent out, in case the machine crashes before the SMTP
transaction is complete.

People have suggested ways around this when speed is an issue; check the
list archives.

No it isn't. qmail-queue puts only the local recipient addresses in
/var/qmail/queue/local/*/*. The message itself is placed in
/var/qmail/queue/mess/*/*.

Eric's problem is that the message is being placed in
/var/qmail/queue/local/*/* rather than just the local recipient
addresses.

I think his qmail install is severely corrupted.

Whoops, read too quickly.  Apologies.

Sounds like it.  Makes me wonder what kind of corruption can cause that.

Some weird patches incorrectly applied is my guess.

Hi,

   We had a mail server running Qmail 1.03 with the paths to authenticate
against the MySQL DB. We use maildir. We had qmail-pop3d running on it.
But some of our users can't receive their email via pop3. They use Outlook
or Netscape, and when there are many messages (20 or more) or bigger
messages (1Mb), the client stops receiving and indicate that: "The POP3
server cannot respond in 60 sec., wait?"

   If the user wait or cancel, he can't receive his email. But he still
connected and can browse the web without problems!

   Are anything I can do to debug it? And are anything I can do to alter
the pop3d behaviour to actualy delete a message after that message are
read, without wait to do that after all the messages are read? Becouse on
the current way, if a user had 60 messages and the pop3d stops on the
message 59, he needs to download all the messages again!

                                          Thanks in advance,

                                                               Antonio.

I have a mail server running qmail and accepting mail for a virtual domain via fastforward (all mail addressed to @mydomain.com is sent to a user).  Mail coming into this server for the virtual domain is being sent to the users mailbox just fine.
 
Now I want to use this users mailbox as a multidrop box.  Another server (running qmail) connects to the mailbox and retrieves all the mail but then logs messages indicating that the messages retrieved already have a 'delivered_to".  When the messages are put in the users mailbox on the first server the delivered to lines are added thus causing the problem.
 
How can I get this to work?
 
Thanks,
 
Rick

Wow. Seems everyone handles mail for mydomain.com.

Hi,

I want helps of anyone already running qmail or at least
having a simple idea on how configurating both local server
(which is in my LAN, behind a firewall, not visible to
internet)and a second server(in my DMZ region, visible by
internet but well serve only for sinding to and receiving
mails of my mail local server, it is also behind a second
firewall but having an internet IP).

I want to use qmail on each server and communacte them, but
never seen any docs talking about how this configuration
can be made.

Thanks for any helps.

Sure. Plenty of people have done that and there is plenty
of discussion archived (www.qmail.org has a pointer). You'll want
to search on smtproutes.

Your external server will have an smtproutes entry for your domain,
pointing to your internal server. Your internal server will be
configured in the standard way and will not need to be aware
of the external system.

I have installed Qmail a few times on Mandrake OS, and it worked fine. I go
exactly according to Qmail how to by Adam McKenna. Now I tried to install on
RedHat7 (and posted ome questions last week). I cameup with a dead end, so
droped down to 6.2, but still I getthe following;
svc: warning: unable to control /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-send: file does
not exist

svc: warning: unable to control /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd: file does
not exist
 qmailsvc: warning: unable to control /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-send/log:
file does not exist
svc: warning: unable to control /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/log: file
does not exist
 logging.

Does anyone have any ideas on hat I ight be doing wrong. I have checked
through a wide number of nes groups and have found this toic come up, but no
certain answers. The messages just don't make sense to me. I have tried
running the rc and un scripts by hand and they seem to work fine. I have
checked that svc and suprvise are in my path /usr/local/bin and they are.

Thanks

It looks like you haven't started the supervise process.

The svc command is looking for files in the
/var/qmail/supervise/qmail-send/suervise directory and they only get
created when the supervise process is running.

Check your startup scripts to ensure that supervise is started prior
to issuing the svc commands.

Well, this is pretty obvious, isn't it? Trace back your steps through
Adam's document and you'll find the error. Oh. And get qmail-conf. Just
do it. Don't bitch, don't argue: grab it at
<http://pobox.com/~tu/qmail-conf.html>.

Oh. Sorry for that.

Are you going to sue me for answering on the list?

Don't take it personally, Silberman, Malcom \(BHR\), but this kinda
pisses me off. But maybe my irony detector is broken.

I feel like an idiot, went back and checked my scripts and had the qmail
script in the svscan script. Thanks Mark for pointing the direction.

I have qmail running on a Debian Linux box, and hopefully someone can
clarify for me how qmail is supposed to handle it's logging processes. 
I find log directories in /var/log/qmail and I would assume this is
where qmail is supposed to do it's logging.  However, after some
searching, I find /var/log/mail/mail.info, and this mail.info file
appears to accumulate and log all the activities of the server including
startup time, SMTP connections from remote hosts, POP connections, etc. 
I don't think this is the way the logging is supposed to work, after
studying the qmail documentation.

Is it possible I have a 'bastard' installation of qmail?  By that I mean
that Corel (Debian) Linux Server Version was loaded into this box and
qmail was installed with the Linux installation.  The more I work with
this system the more I suspect that there's been some custom settings
made to qmail by whoever wrote the Corel distribution of Linux.  So I'm
asking if someone can tell me if this /var/log/mail/mail.info file is a
normal file for qmail to generate during it's logging processes?

Thanks much,

Hi!

I'm getting stuff like this in my logs:

Nov 28 22:16:09 sol qmail: 975446169.345287 warning: trouble marking
remote/9/96701; message will be delivered twice! 
Nov 28 22:16:09 sol qmail: 975446169.347416 delivery 8796: deferral:
qmail-spawn_unable_to_create_pipe._(#4.3.0)/

This seems to mean trouble. What else does it mean?

Apart from trouble? Nothing.

Seriously, you have some serious resource and permission problems. Tell
us more about the installation. Is it new? How did you do it? Which instructions
did you follow? Has this mail system ever been running? What has changed recently?
Any change of permissions, moving of directories, backup/restores? How do you start
qmail?

I suspect that the permission settings in /var/qmail differ from the ones set
by a standard qmail install. I also suspect that the limits inherited by
qmail-start need to be increased.


Regards.

i "ls -l'd" around a bit.

I also ran queue-fix (with patch for big-todo because of RPMs) from the
qmail homepage.

Hello,


Suppose I have two domaines (mymachine1.example1.com and
mymachine2.example2.com) each having it's intenet-IP and
mail server. 
example1.com use qmail server, how I can tell qmail to get
all mails of example2.com mail server and sending them for
destinated users on my LAN?

Thanks

Hi
 
I have a system where domains/mail is added to files, no mysql databases.
 
Would it be difficult, or problematic to allow a customer to use 1 000 pop3 email accounts ?
 
Any advice is appriciated!

If you use the vpopmail-package from inter7, you can have all the
authentication information in cdbs, which should make it more scalable
than flat files.

(If not, then, well, why not? ;) )

Hello everyone!

Im sorry if this question has been asked 100000 times and im #
100001..

I admin quite a large mail server that is currently running
sendmail/qpopper, it has about 60000 accounts on it currently.  I know
that UNIX has a limit on the UID's of 65534, any file that has a UID
higher than that number defaults back to UID0..

I hoped to solve this problem by upgrading to Qmail+its popper program
and use MySQL to authenicate both.  I would move (via long scripts and
perl :) /var/spool/mail/<uname> to hashed home directories
/var/spool/mail/a/a<uname>, /var/spool/mail/b/b<uname>, etc, etc.. to
get rid of that nasty problem when a unix file system as too many
files/directories in one main directory.

I have read the MySQL patch, and from what I understand, the user
accounts still need a UID in the MySQL database, as well as their home
directories need to be owned by the UID assigned to them in MySQL...
Now if the OS has a limit of 65534 UID's how can I fit more than that
on one machine (actually its two machines, a smtp and pop3 with the
mail spools mounted to pop3 over NFS)?

My question now, How can I use MySQL to overcome this 65534 ceiling
with Qmail?  Will assigning them all the same UID solve this problem?
I know that some *VERY* large e-mail servers run this program and I
would like to know how they manage to house so many people when you
can only have 65k users due to the OS constraints.  Show me oh wise
ones of Qmail <bowing>..  Just so you all know, being a Sendmail geek
migrating to Qmail, I find qmail to have a greater learning curve to
setup (which isnt that much) but is 10000000x better in the long run..
:)

Actually, it's more like they get UID%65534, but it's a similar result ;-)

>I have read the MySQL patch, and from what I understand, the user
>accounts still need a UID in the MySQL database, as well as their home
>directories need to be owned by the UID assigned to them in MySQL...

Yes, it needs *A* UID, doesn't say it needs a *UNIQUE* ID.  I set up
a similar system using my own checkpoppasswd (I can provide it if you
like, it's written in Python) which uses the hashed directories and
stores all the data under one user-id.  Works great, especially over
NFS, because the passwords are in the user home directory, so they
get distributed via NFS as well.  No need to sync /etc/passwd between
machines.

The other alternative is to use something like vpopmail or vmailmgr.

You should have a look to qmail-ldap, it's designed for such environments. 
You should also consider upgrading to maildirs instead of mailboxes, it's 
really worth the work.
qmail-ldap runs great, really fast and rock-solid. Builtin cluster support 
might be interesting too... oh, quota support is also builtin ;-))
url is http://diehard.n-r-g.com . Documentation is a bit poor at the moment, 
but this may be solved soon ;-)).

You posted this on qmail-ldap's list, there it is right. Here it is false. No 
one can and will answer your question here.

Suresh, for first writing such nonsens to the list and asking me for help off 
list does not fit together. before asking other busy people for help (it is 
no paid support staff here, we all have our work to do!), you should

-have read the docs at least twice
-checked if you fulfilled the requirements for qmail-ldap, both on you 
installation and youself (yes, the wonderfull sentence "you should have 
fairly good knowledge of qmail and ldap..." and so on in bold letters aside 
to the dowload link on the wepages
-if you ask a question, provide all necessary information, in general as much 
as possible. At least OS, versions (including patch version), _complete_ 
logs, configuration
-checked all logs yourself, including ldap logs, set loglevel to highest 
possible value - helps a lot

Before you dump this mail message to /dev/null, I have a relaying
question.. 

I setup the anti-relaying rules all fine and dandy according to the FAQ
with tcpserver.. Everything works fine, *but* i need the ability to filter
by DNS hostmask and IP address.. I tried the following test:

This setup works:

209.142.1.150:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
:allow

This setup does NOT work:
vadept.com:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
:allow

I need the ability to just wildcard IP's based upon their DNS lookup, I
know I can enable paranoid mode to cut down on the spoofing, but will the
current anti-relaying rules support a *.vadept.com rather than about
150-200 class C's?

Saves me a lot of keystrokes, plus if we forget to reverse map an IP pool,
the phones dont light up (with paranoid mode off)... :(

Thanks!

Frank

Presume your tcpserver invocation is simple:

        tcpserver 0 smtp qmail-smtpd

Insert a call to a script like so:

        tcpserver 0 smtp shouldirelay qmail-smtpd.

Create a script "shouldirelay" that does two things:

1. Uses ucspi-tcp environment variables to decide if RELAYCLIENT
should be set. man tcp-environ for details.

2. execs the arguments in $@.
