I installed qmail following this page steps:

http://www.europe.redhat.com/documentation/HOWTO/Qmail-VMailMgr-Courier-imap-HOWTO-2.php3

I used binary rpm.
All the binaries installed OK.

Trying to start services i got:
#/etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail start
svc-start: Fatal error: Service 'qmail' does not exist.

Can anyone tell me how to create those services and shoy me some init scripts to get 
this task automatic on boot?

Thanks in advance.

Maybe you won't enjoy this answer, but I can't think of any easy way.
To do this sort of thing would probably require quite a bit of hackery
into the qmail innards, and even then it would be pointless because
such a restriction is trivially circumvented:  The user could simply
telnet to the SMTP port of another machine, or get a program that
would do so for him.

If you have a problem with a user abusing email privileges, I suggest
you confront him or her about it rather than trying a technical fix
that is most likely to fail or backfire anyway.

Does someone have working code for this and would be willing to share?

hi,

        sorry for being OT. I need help to diagnose an errormsg I'm receiving
from a remote MTA -- mainly to show it's the other admin who's in fault.
Or else repair my error and be humble about it :). To make matters
worse, the errormsg is unknown to me: seems to be coming from a box I
think is running WinNT.

        The full msg is at the end of this email. The relevant lines seem to
be:

It certainly seems I'm on the safe side. But I wanted to check with more
experienced admins, specially because I've never seen such msg.

        That is Sendmail.  I forget how exactly you cause that error, but it
isn't hard to do, and yes, it is their configuration that needs fixing.

The MTA is sendmail.  The problem is that sendmail on that machine
does not know it's supposed to handle email for reino.com.ar.  This
would be analogous to installing qmail but not putting your domain
into locals, even though there is an MX record pointing to you.

Most people put local domains for sendmail into a file named
sendmail.cw, but they can also be specified in sendmail.cf.

At least if you do, it's very helpful if the two sites have identical
policies with regards to such things as relaying, checking envelope
sender domains and the like.  And it's a lot better if the primary MX
does like qmail and accepts mail even for non-existing users, or else
the secondary MX gets saddled with creating bounce messages on behalf
of the other domain.  And that is bad indeed.  Been there, done that,

That's good advice. Also make sure that you have identical (or
sufficient) resources.


Regards.




Thanks for the input.   Here is how it turned out, and my summary of the
situation.
I own both servers, and have been trying to figure out the best
implimentation of redundancy.
By having the secondary server in place, the primary server was slowed down,
but it never failed to accept or deliver mail the whole time.  Granted,
while the secondary was trying to feed into the primary, some new incoming
was pushed off onto the secondary.

I feel that this put very little legitimate mail at risk.  Keep in mind, I
did not know for sure that I could dump the spam, yet.  I only knew that if
I waited long enuf, it would eventually clear out.

My mistake was that I had two virtual domains running on that secondary
server throughout all of this.  Lack of time(read as lazyness) is the only
reason that I had never moved them off of this particular server.  Incoming
mail for these two domains was working fine, but outgoing mail was being
held up in the queue.  Lesson here is do not put primary functions on a
secondary machine.  It removes your ability to just turn it off while you
think about the problem.

I responded to 'jf' on his problem, and the fix I used is listed there.

My feeling is that this old 486 I used as a secondary MX cost me almost
nothing and saved my butt by giving some options I would not have had
otherwise.  It has been great when my dedicated line customers have had to
be down for a bit, or their servers have gone down to be able to cache their
mail, and tell them that as soon as their server is back up, that I can
provide them all their 'lost' mail.

There are several approaches you can take:

1.  Wait it out.  Those messages will eventually all be bounced or delivered,
and your queue will drop back to 0 messages.  This will take time.

2.  Stop qmail and qmail-smtpd.  Use qmHandle (www.qmail.org) to remove the
messages from the queue.  Restart qmail and qmail-smtpd.  You may have to
repeat this process if the spammer continues to use your domain as his
envelope sender, which is what I assume is causing this.

3.  Stop accepting all mail temporarily, bouncing it all immediately.
You could do this by doing:
        cp /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts.save
        echo "" >/var/qmail/control/rcpthosts
This will affect legitimate mail for you as well.

JF,

I just had to deal with the same problem. It was a dictionary spam is what
somebody called it.  On my server, they where in the remote outgoing queue,
but I believe the fix is the same.  Keep in mind, I had never worked with
python,  and the little script was a python script.  Luckily, my server
already had python installed.  The non-existant documentation meant I had to
trial and error this, but here is a summary of what I did.

Go to this location, and get this script onto your server, I put mine in
/var/qmail/bin.

http://www.redwoodsoft.com/~dru/programs/mailRemove.py

Make it executable.   chmod +x mailRemove.py
Create the directory filter under qmail/queue.  Mine was like this

mkdir /var/qmail/queue/filter

Next run the script in a test-only mode.  You can CTRL-C out of it.

python mailRemove.py [search-string]

Since all my spam flood was from [EMAIL PROTECTED] my command looked like
this,

python mailRemove.py registrar

If this runs, then you can do this for real.  It moves the spam into the
filter directory. I halted both qmail-send and smtp before doing this.  Like
this.

python mailRemove.py --real registrar

I had 28000 spams, and it took about 5 hours to remove 18000 of these.  This
server was only a 486/100,  32meg ram.  Hopefully it will be lots faster on
a better machine.

While I am here, I wish to thank Mark and Markus for your help yesterday
regarding my problem.
Sam

I think that you can also temporarily shorten the time settings for qmail to
return mail within a few hours.  Most legitimate mail will be delivered, but
"stuck" mail will get bounced more quickly.

Hi,
i wanna add some kind of filtering to my outgoing mail traffic to stop some mails with 
attachments like mp3's and mpeg's. 

How can i do this? Any idea?

If this is mail injected via SMTP, set /var/qmail/control/databytes to the
maximum message size you want to allow.  If it's locally injected, you'll
need to use something like Bruce Guenter's filtering patches and write a
filter which checks for various attachments.  You can find his stuff
at http://em.ca/~bruceg/ .

Qmail-Scanner is a in-line mail filter used especially for virus scanning
and attachment blocking.

See http://qmail-scanner.sourceforge.net/ for details.

That one right there should do it.  You say *none* of these addresses
yield any return *at all*?  I don't know how to explain that.  I note
that your message to the list says it's from "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", a
different username.  Does mail to both of those usernames reach you
reliably?

I'm sending the unsubscribe message for you, to see if you ever see
the confirmation message (and if you do, try replying, who knows?).

Not being the list-owner, and more importantly, not having
command-line access to ezmlm on list.cr.yp.to, I can't do anything
about directly fixing your problem.

I have installed/compiled the smtp-auth patch into my qmail installation,
but I cannot figure out what file to modify to add support for it.  I am
running qmail 1.03 on freebsd.  I tried adding it to
/var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run, but it does not seem to take.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Eric





Oh and here is a copy of the run file:
#!/bin/sh
QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaild`
NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild`
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 2000000 \
    /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -R -H -l0 -v -p -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb \
        -u $QMAILDUID -g $NOFILESGID 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/rblsmtpd
/var/qmail/b
in/qmail-smtpd /bin/checkpassword 2>&1

I did not add the crmd5 piece because I am not sure I need it?

From looking at the archives, I realize this is about the thousandth of these you've seen, but I couldn't find in there a solution to my problem.  I'm running Mandrake 7.1, qmail 1.03; I installed qmail following Adam McKenna's HOW-TO, and it works just fine from the localhost.
 
However, when I try to use it as an SMTP relay, it barfs.  From Outlook Express I actually get a message that tells me the mail host dropped the connection suddenly (but, if I hit retry a couple of times, eventually it goes through).  From a little DOS-based command-line mailer I've got, I get no message, but watching /var/log/qmail/qmail-smtpd/current while I'm trying to send shows that the connection is established and then dropped before I even start typing the body of the message.
 
I followed the HOW-TO's instructions on creating the smtp.tcp.cdb file, and when I check the tcpserver process using ps it shows that at least on the command line it is specified correctly.
 
Any suggestions?  In fact, the relay and all the clients are behind a firewall, so even having a completely open relay wouldn't be terrible, but I would like to know how to do it properly.  Thanks.

This may (or may not) be an indication for someone trying to inject
tons of SPAM to your server. Your server rejects them and so no
"new messages" are generated.
qmail-smtpd doesn't log anything (besides severe failures) so you won't
see anything unless you patch your qmail-smtpd.

Another solution is to plug recordio (from the uscpi-tcp package)
between tcpserver and qmail-smtpd, but then you will see *everthing*
in the communication between your smtpd and any other.

I have a patch, that one can plug recordio permanently but it will
only be logging, if the RECORDIO environment variable is set (which can
be easily accomplished via tcpserver). I find this very handy if you
want to only trace connections from special IPs.
I checked, the patch is for 0.84 and will not work with 0.88.

When someone sends email to a dot-qmail alias I have specified in
~alias/, the message shows up twice in the msg-log created by
queue_extra.

Question is, is there a filter to get rid of this. Or have I misconfigured.

BACKGROUND:  The qmail source was modified as instructed by
the qmail-howto (among other things). ~alias/msg-log is actually
a symbolic link which points to /var/allmail/INBOX. /var/allmail
is on a seperate fixed disk.

What does the .qmail file contain?  If it has any forward entries, it will
get re-injected and delivered to msglog again.

I bet the ~alias/.qmail files in question forward mail to other
addresses. Follow along:

qmail-inject foo
   |
   v
qmail-queue -------> msg-log
   |
   v
qmail-local (foo)
   |
   v
qmail-queue (for forwarded mail) -----> msg-log
   ...

Show us the exact line(s) you changed in the source.

Show us the contents of the relevant ~alias/.qmail-XXXX file.

Show us the exact details of the symlink mentioned above (are you sure
that's what you did, because you make no mention of ~alias/.qmail-log,
or similar, AND a .qmail file can't just be a symlink to a mailbox).

Sorry, should have been more specific.

root@mail:~ > cat /usr/src/qmail-1.03/extra.h
#ifndef EXTRA_H
#define EXTRA_H

#define QUEUE_EXTRA "Tlog\0"
#define QUEUE_EXTRALEN 5

#endif
root@mail:~ > ls -l ~alias/msg-log
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     qmail          18 Dec 14 14:46 /var/qmail/alias/msg-log -> 
/var/allmail/INBOX
root@mail:~ > cat ~alias/.qmail-log

root@mail:~ > ls -l /var/allmail/INBOX
-rw-rw----   1 allmail  nofiles      2325 Dec 15 13:49 /var/allmail/INBOX



For example, if I send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], the message will appear
twice in /var/allmail/INBOX. I'm assuming this is because it is recording the
message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], as well as the message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Now, I've pondered changing the QUEUE_EXTRA to something that would
copy the mail directly to ~alias/msg-log. But I'm not a programmer (or even a
very good one at that), so I tend to ask permission before messing with sources
*snicker*.

I'm also going to be running ezmlm mailing lists on here. Will I have the same
problem with those?

Let me know if you need additional information.

Thanks.

Nathan

No. What you have above looks kosher. The message should be delivered to
spock and log. There is no message re-injection happening so the
extra.c code is only ever called once.

Can you show us the relevant log entries (don't massage them at all,
please).

There should be no need to do that.

Hopefully not if you've made the changes correctly.

Hrmmm.

I can't recreate the problem. I think something (or someone else) must
have fixed it. Weird.

Anyway, get this. Now ezmlm is giving me the trouble.

I know this isn't an ezmlm list, but let me run it by some of you and
maybe you can tell me if this is being caused by a qmail problem or
an ezmlm problem.

I created a mailing list called testlist by doing the following...

As root, I su'ed to alias, then ran the following command

/usr/local/bin/ezmlm/ezmlm-make ~/testlist ~/.qmail-testlist testlist mbandt.com

Then I subsequently did the following

/usr/local/bin/ezmlm/ezmlm-sub ~/testlist [EMAIL PROTECTED]
/usr/local/bin/ezmlm/ezmlm-sub ~/testlist [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Both of these users exist on the syste in their own nature (nathan.harmon is
the actual username in /etc/passwd).

Now, when use Outlook to send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], the
message arrives just fine for nathan.harmon and nathan. Problem is, if I
look at /var/allmail/INBOX (reference from my previous posts), the
message shows up twice.

Surely it does.
The first is a copy of the email you've sent via outlook.
The second is a copy of the email ezmlm injected for distribution.

I've got a bunch of virtual domains that I manage and I was wondering if
it would be possible to do the following.  Basically, I don't want to
have to create root, postmaster, hostmaster, etc... aliases for each of
the virtual domains.

Ideally, I'd like them to be handled by the default ~alias/.qmail-xxx
aliases on the system.

I guess this would be analagous to putting something like the following
at the top of your sendmail/postfix virtualdomains/virtuserstable:
    root        root@localhost

Is something like this possible under qmail?

Thanks in advance...

Yes, although root is a bad example.  qmail doesn't deliver to root, ever,
as a security measure.

Just put a forwarding directive in your ~alias/.qmail-* entries:

&user@localdomain

You'll typically have a line like this for each of
~alias/.qmail-{root,postmaster,...}

Ok, by checking the logs I've determined that from certain clients (namely a command-line DOS smtp mailer we use) the smtp connection ends before getting any data, with the following message in /var/log/qmail/qmail-smtpd/current:
 
tcpserver: end xxx status 256
 
When using Outlook Express, which is successful, this message winds up in the log:
 
tcpserver: end xxx status 0
 
Simple question: where can I find out what the end statuses provided by tcpserver mean?
 
TIA





i'd like ~joe/.qmail to be ignored by qmail.  i don't want qmail to check 
if ~joe exists at all.  instead, i'd like /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-joe to 
be the only file consulted.

i put this line in /var/qmail/users/assign:


=joe:alias:81:81:/var/qmail/alias:-:joe:


but qmail-newu complains:

msg# /var/qmail/bin/qmail-newu
qmail-newu: fatal: bad format in users/assign


what am i doing wrong?

Hi all...

I'm in the process of proposing a shift off our current (almost working :))
email system to qmail and have stumbled upon a small but significant
problem.

Our IT manager is a non-techi and as such is always looking for the, MS
solution... I'm the only *nix guy in the department and have successfully
convinced him to move DNS/WEB/Cache/DHCP over to *nix, phew !!! (email is
next)

The IT manager likes throwing "What happens if you get hit by a bus" at
me... well, I get hit by a bus and not a single soul in our IT department
can do any Qmail admin.

I'd be happy to train them up but I need to also know that commercial
support is available in Australia... This is the clincher !!!


Cheers
Dennis





If you don't need it to be onsite support, then does it matter where
the support comes from? I'm sure a number of the support orgs on
www.qmail.org are happy to offer remote support contracts.


Regards.

I'd answer that question with "Another tech follows my documentation".
If you document the common tasks you're doing for day-to-day maintenance
and operations, it's really not a problem...  QMail runs very well at a
lot of places that don't have QMail experts working there...  If you get
hit by a bus *AND* a QMail emergency comes up, you can either refer them
to, or have in place an agreement with one or more of the consultants
listed on www.qmail.org (shameless plug ;-).

On the one hand, the question of relying on something you can't support
is legitimate.  On the other hand, I think it's often used as an excuse.
Just because the software you select runs under MS doesn't mean that
one of the existing techs can just pick it up and deal with it, without
a similar learning curve to doing the same sort of thing for QMail.
That, of course, depends on the level of automation, documentation,
and their willingness to work with something new.

As an example, a few years ago we were called in to manage a group of
machines in an emergency.  The Unix systems posed basicly the same
amount of problem as the Windows machines (except that the Unix machines
never crashed on us ;-).  The Unix machines were running Roxen where
I only had experience with Apache, so it was a learning experience all
the way around.  In this case, we effectively had no access to their
existing techs, and there was no documentation other than passwords.

I'm attempting to get qmail interfaced with the MAPS lists -- the RBL, the 
DUL, and the RSS.

I'm using tcpserver to control unauthorized connectivity and all that good 
stuff.  rblsmtpd has been patched to fix the lack-of-TXT-records issue with 
RSS (the Alan Curry patch at http://itcentrx.com/mirrors/qmail/ucspi-rss.diff).

Below, on one line, is my tcpserver invoking qmail-smtpd.

The following notes are in order:

1) Relay works properly.  I can relay from my IPs, but outside IPs can not 
relay.
2) In and out delivery works properly.  I can receive mail via the daemon, 
and when I send mail via the daemon, it is delivered properly.
3) RBL/RSS/DUL does not work, as validated by the test daemons at crynwr.

I would appreciate it if yall could take a look and see where I've screwed up.

Thank you most kindly.

I don't use mail-abuse.org, but I think it's supposed to be like:
... rblsmtpd -r "blackholes.mail-abuse.org:Open relay problem - see 
<URL:http://www.mail-abuse.org/cgi-bin/nph-rss?%IP%>" \
             -r "dialups.mail-abuse.org:Open relay problem - see 
<URL:http://www.mail-abuse.org/cgi-bin/nph-rss?%IP%>" \
             -r "relays.mail-abuse.org:Open relay problem - see 
<URL:http://www.mail-abuse.org/cgi-bin/nph-rss?%IP%>" \

ie one check per "-r".

That indeed seems to have resolved the issue. Thank you muchly.

Hi all...

I've had this problem for a few weeks now.

Qmail keeps tripple bouncing, it then says it's deleted the email, message
from a host not it rcphosts, cool...

Only problem, it's been doing it for 3 weeks now.

Any suggestions ?

Cheers
Dennis

What do the logs say?

Insufficient, we need to see the logs; they describe the precise
movement of messages through the qmail system.
