I have no problem setting up Windows/OS/2 clients to connect to the Qmail
server to relay the messages. The problem I am facing now is *nix clients. It
looks like the *nix clients (with the exception of Pine) do require a local
SMTP server to relay to the main SMTP server.
Is there a Qmail solution to secure the *nix clients? I prefer not to run
sendmail on the local clients for their mail to go out.
Thank you in advance for any info or ideas.

Sure. Install qmail. Be sure to have the hostname of the workstation
in rcpthosts. Create a file called smtproutes /var/qmail/control. That
file should contain the following:
:main.smtp.server
(where main.smtp.server should be the FQDN of the server you want to
use to relay).
Don't forget to replace the standard sendmail with the one included in
qmail, or you'll still have problems.

Can't be done on an SMTP level. Imagine if an email was to arrive
addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED]? You have to receive the
email on one server, and send it to the proper server for storage into
the mailbox.
If you wanted to be really clever, you could modify qmail-smtpd so
that it would run qmail-qmqpc to store the email on the proper
server(s). Addressing the case above makes that fairly difficulty,
however. You could just drop back and punt on it -- forward all email
which winds up on the wrong server over to the right server. That
way, you'd only have to queue it one on a server which is proper for
at least one of the receipients.

You might want to check qmail-ldap, it has native clustering support doing

Yeah. The problem with the qmail-ldap patch is that it has a bunch of
unrelated stuff in it, e.g. anti-spam, and TLS.

I found especially these two _very_ usefull - your mileage may vary.
qmail-ldap is very well suited for ISP operation, for "normal" usage there
may be to much features included.
Many features can be disabled at compile time.

Don't get me started on ifdefs. Conditional compilation makes code
extremely difficult to read and audit.

Hi,
I'm using qmail and
fastforward.
My aliases File is looking
like:
postmaster:
info
webmaster:
info
verna:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
info-world:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
...
The alias-name
"info-world" in my aliases.cdb doesn't work and I receive the following
message:
sorry, no mailbox here by that name.
(#5.1.1)
But the User "info-world" exist on my mailserver.
What is
wrong????
THX
Joe

Does the user "info" exist on your system?
If it does, and you haven't changed Qmail's default dash-extension value,
Qmail will be looking for ~info/.qmail-world for delivery instructions for
this address.
You can change the dashext character to something like '='. Or you can
create the .qmail-world file in the ~user directory.

In theory, I have QMTP up on parts-unknown.org. I had already
configured the startup for it when I installed qmail in the first
place, and I've added a line to my firewall script opening the port to
the outside world. Now I've got to figure out how to test it...

You also need to have an MX record with priority 12801 pointing to the
host running qmtp. Right now, you only have
parts-unknown.org. 1D IN MX 0 mx.parts-unknown.org.
Now I've got to figure out how to test it...
Don't worry about that. I'll send a confirmation message to all 20+
people who told me about their qmtp servers, once I've gotten the code
working. If you get the message "with QMTP", then you know your
qmtpd server is working.

Without the <a href="http://cr.yp.to/proto/mxps.txt">MXPS-compliant</a>

I am running RH6.2 with all sorts of uscpi-tcp, supervise, daemontools,
vmailmgr, qmail, courier-imap as shown in the HOW-TO installation page.
Everything seems to be installed OK and courier-imap started OK too but when
I try run any other qmail-xxx then the error "svscan is not running"
occured. Can someone show me how to properly install and setup
uscpi-tcp/unix/supervise/daemontools for these configurations.
Thanks,
Steve

What do you care? In this case, if the mail had dumped off to
secondary, it would have either gotten there or bounced sooner than
'queuelifetime' and not wasted his servers time for a week. The error
involved suggested that retrying the same exact thing remained likely to
fail, that sounds like a good reason to back off to secondary.
In either case, the receiving party gets what they deserve - either
they get their mail through their secondary, which is why they properly set
one up, or it bounces, which is what they get for improperly setting it up.
Some people run well-configured secondaries for good reasons. The
fact that other clowns can't get it right isn't a reason for dropping their
use. Heck, if we stopped using things because people misconfigured them, we
wouldn't be using qmail.

Personally you mean? Not much. I was not so much suggesting that it's
a question of "if" but a question of "when". By using words like
"tend" and "likely" I was merely suggesting that "when" should not be
very often.
Like pretty much everything else, this matter has been discussed many
times, even prior to 1.03 and the idea of distributing retries across
all MXes is noted in THOUGHTS.
If that thought is implemented, I wonder if the preference values
should influence the distribution algorithm? Modulo qmtp of course.
Regards.

Ditto. I just set this up at one ISP and really like it. Virtual
domains and virtual users, and you keep all the account info out of
/etc/passwd. Use it's modified password-checking thing with the qmail
POP server to get users access to their mail.
Then grab "qmailadmin" web gui interface to manage it, if you like
that sort of thing. Then add sqwebmail to give users web access to
their mail. Real nice setup.

The nice thing about the combo that you are talking about is that it doesn't
even necessarily have to be used with virtual domains. I have two servers here,
both are running qmail on top of suse linux 6.4. however, on one machine we
went the route of qmail + vchkpw + qmailadmin + courier/sqwebmail + vqsignup.
the other is qmail + vchkpw + qmailadmin. In other words, imap on one and pop
on the other. However, neither of these boxes is hosting more than one domain.
the closest either of them come is aliasing domain.com to mail.domain.com. we
also use the fact that qmailadmin also interfaces nicely to ezmlm to set up
internal company mailing groups.

Without meaning to sound like a broken record, "what do the logs say?"
You have all the information you need at your fingertips, and we lack
it completely. You don't seem to be doing anything wrong, so best
consult your log files.

Hy all
I sent from my outlook express 1 test message to
one e-mail account. When I listed his maildir, I saw he recieved 4 times my
single message. The messages have subtle diferences in it's headers(in red). I
don't know how to interpret it. Could someone help me? Bellow, are the 4
messages headers.
thanks!

Hy Henning, thank you for answering.
I use vpopmail, does it can influence this problem?
I didn't find any .qmail file that refers to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] e-mail
or maildir.
Any idea?
thanks.

Hy henning,
I think that some .qmail file would be the case if zzxx always had recieved
the same number of multiple messages, which is not the case. (i forgot to
tell it). I made various tests with the zzxx account, sometime he recieved 4
messages at once.
Other users are complaining the same thing, which is serious.
Do you have other idea?
ps: vpopmail is a third party program that handles virtual domains e-mail
accounts.

Anyone else have trouble unsubscribing to the list? Not that I don't love
you guys or anything, I just need to get off of some these lists that I'm
on.
I've tried unsubscribing 5 separate times. I have confirmation messages
that say I have been removed from the list, and I stop receiving messages
for anywhere from 2 hours to a day, and then I'm magically back on the list
again. How do I get off the list and stay off?

Something must be wrong in your settings,
I have installed vpopmail and it went fine on my RH 7.0
Mettavihari
G'day.
Having seen that Sendmail's config file looks (as someone aptly put it)
`like an explosion in a punctuation factory'
I decided to use qmail - just for a dial -up connection single machine
several users - nothing fancy.
When I first did this (with help from this list) - and possibly more
by luck than judgement, the set-up worked ok.
Incoming handled without tcpserver and outgoing sent as a batch on pppd
connection.
After the nearly disasterous (thank god for CD backups) incident with
my hard drive, I Installed Mandrake 7 and re-built qmail on this
platform, this time closely following LWQ. I again adopted the method
of hi-jacking sendmail and arranging distribution to local mailboxes
(kmail does not `do' MailDir). This time, I have supervise ticking away
as one is supposed to.
Very good. Except that having got all that set up I then found a load of
'can't chdir to maildir' messages in the log. After some experimentation
I tried setting the offending home directories rwxrwxr-x and things
started working
:-/
So [Q.1] does this suggest any obvious setup fault
to anyone? Apparently, this is a glaring security hole (not that it
matters in this particular case - being an occasional dial-up) but it
indicates that SOMETHING is wrong!
The other thing was that while experimental local messages got delivered
OK by `sendmail' (hi-jacked via qmail's wrapper) those directed to
non-local (not in `assign' cdb) places get the `Unable_to_chdir_to_maildir'
thing. I have yet to find a combination of file/directory permissions
(legal or illegal) that will force this to work.
Something peculiar is going on (could it be do do with groups maybe?)
For the moment, I send outgoing mail direct to SMTP from kmail, but this
is not a good long-term solution, since one has can only send one user's
mail at a time..
[Q.2] It seems likely that Q.1 and this are related - can anyone
hazard a guess as to how?
Thanks [in anticipation]

I myself spent alot of time setting up the right permissions for my
users (real ones, not virtual), so I came up with this script :
I think it should be posted some public place, maybe even LWQ -
it will definitelly make newbies life easier :
#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/useradd -m -c '$2' -d /home/$1 -s '/bin/false' -G '' -g 45 -e ''
$1
/usr/bin/chage -m -1 -M 99999 -W -1 $1
passwd $1
cd /home/$1
/usr/bin/qmail/maildirmake ./Maildir
echo ./Maildir/ > .qmail
chmod -R 755 ./Maildir
chmod 644 .qmail
chown -R $1 ./Maildir
chown $1 .qmail
call this script with username as the first parameter, and user
description as a second. whoever needs to know the right permissions
and ownership of files - look at the last 4 lines.
This useradd is configured to block normal logins to the system, so these
accounts
cannot be used for telnet, ftp or otherwise (which was my intention). If you
need full accounts,
replace the furst line with :
/usr/sbin/useradd -m -c '$2' -d /home/$1 -G '' -g 45 -e '' $1
Alex.
OK..here's what's
going on:
I host my domain,
domain.com.
It's aliased
as: me.otherdomain.com.
In qmail
control...all the files only have domain.com, including: me, locals,
defaultdomain/host, etc..
I send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] comes out fine. I can
reply...but the person on the other end is getting: [EMAIL PROTECTED]. Why is
this. Sometimes when I send and read, i restart the pop and smtpd qmail
servers and then it works right for a little while. Is this a DNS caching
problem? Or a config inside of qmail i'm
missing?
Has anyone seen an implementation for Oracle and qmail?
I've implemented qmail+mysql however I'd like to see if Oracle can be
integrated with Qmail. Anyone know of any links? Documentation? if they
exist? Anyone looking to Develope such an Idea?

I don't care to much about the front end of things, they can always be
written, I'm more intrested in a mirror of mysql+qmail setup, just
integrated with oracle instead. I don't know if anything has to be totally
rewritten, or if it's just DBA related configuration, however It would be
much more scaleable if qmail could work with Oracle.

Hello all,
I'm a newbie so please bear with me. I set up qmail (newest version) on a
box running Linux Mandrake kernal 2.213 and have it set up to accept, (I
believe) from both xyz.com and xyy.com. I had two different providers
change the mx records to point to us. The first domain works like I believe
it should sending and recieving mail via pop using checkpassword at
[EMAIL PROTECTED] but the second domain just changed thursday only works reliably
when I send to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Is this a setting that I have set up
wrong or is it a mx record issue? [EMAIL PROTECTED] does work when sent through
qwest servers?! So I'm a bit confused when excite or say ivillage bounce
the message from the providers mail servers when sending mail from them.
Has the mx records just not updated yet on these servers? Any advice would
be welcome. Here is my control files
defaultdomain
xyy.com
xyz.com
locals
xyy.com
mail.xyy.com
xyz.com
mail.xyz.com
me
mail.xyy.com
plus domain

I know that some of this might not be necessary, so any help is appreciated.

Hello,
I want to use IMAP in a simple manner as I use actually
pop3.
I'm using strictly LWQ method of installation. All work
fine, except that I need now to use IMAP with pop3 and
don't know how made this. IMAP is already installed on my
machine.
What I must change on the scripts (/etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail).
Actually with SMTP/pop only the start and stop parts are:
start)
echo -n "Starting qmail: svscan"
cd /var/qmail/supervise
nohup env - PATH="$PATH" svscan &
echo $! > /var/run/svscan.pid
echo "."
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -u 501 -g 500 0 smtpd
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd \
2>&1 | /var/qmail/bin/splogger smtpd 3 &
echo $! > /var/lock/subsys/qmail-smtpd
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver 0 pop-3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup
mymachine.mydomaine \
/bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d
Maildir &
echo $! > /var/lock/subsys/qmail-pop3d
;;
stop)
kill `cat /var/lock/subsys/qmail-pop3d`
rm -f /var/lock/subsys/qmail-pop3d
kill `cat /var/lock/subsys/qmail-smtpd`
rm -f /var/lock/subsys/qmail-smtpd
Is the presense of /var/qmail/bin/splogger in the smtp part
is neccessary or I can delete it with no problem?
Also, I want to now how I can put command allowing me to
see the exact date instead of @4.... (that I never
understand what to do here)
/var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/log/run in file.
here it's content:
#! /bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/setuidgid qmaill
/usr/local/bin/multilog t /var/log/qmail/smtpd
Thanks.

The problem is that it's a two-way synchronization. I was, at one point,
working on a program that would do such a synchronization. Basicly, you
have to track the disposition of each local Maildir and propogate changes
to the other side. I had a bunch of code that should have done just this,
but there was a bug in it. I eventually abandoned this because right
around this time we no longer had a need for dealing with e-mail on
two machines.
I have some other ideas for a system that would effectively allow for
distributed, peer-relationship clustering of mail servers where mail
could be sent, received, and read on any of the systems in the cluster,
but that will probably be something we do as a commercial project.

If your users are customers coming from various networks, this maybe the only
working solution (SMTP auth lacks proper support in to many clients). My
experiences are very good.

Dear All
I have two mailq's, the primary is running sendmail v8 the
secondary is
running qmail 1.03.
I have just finished configuring a
replacement for the new primary which
will also be running qmail 1.03.
Where I need advice is how best to make the swap and how best to flush the
queue on the old box into the new.
I had thought of the following;
1:)
drop the queue lifetime down on the primary sendmail box
to nearing 72hrs
(shorter than the RFC advised 120 hrs) to keep the queue as
small as
possible.
2:) remove the primary mailq, domain mail would then take the next
best mx
pref and head for the secondary mailq and queue their.
3:)
reconfig the old primary (sendmail) with a temporary hostname and IP on
the
server network.
4:) install the new primary mailq (qmail) which of course
would start
accepting mail the moment the smtpd daemon is up.
NOW the bit
thats bothering me.
5:) would the secondary after 60 mins (or send qmail-send
an svc -a alarm)
then deliver its queue back to the new mailq as it has a
lower mx?
6:) would the old reconfigured sendmail also deliver its queue to
the new
mailq as DNS would give that as the lowest mx pref.
All assume the final destination is a MTA on a dial
up.
Many thanks in advance.

Easy. Set the qmail box as the default smtproute (Smart Relay) of the
sendmail server. Then flush the queue.

2:) remove the primary mailq, domain mail would then take the next best mx
pref and head for the secondary mailq and queue their.
3:) reconfig the old primary (sendmail) with a temporary hostname and IP on
the server network.
4:) install the new primary mailq (qmail) which of course would start
accepting mail the moment the smtpd daemon is up.
NOW the bit thats bothering me.
5:) would the secondary after 60 mins (or send qmail-send an svc -a alarm)
then deliver its queue back to the new mailq as it has a lower mx?
6:) would the old reconfigured sendmail also deliver its queue to the new
mailq as DNS would give that as the lowest mx pref.
All assume the final destination is a MTA on a dial up.
Many thanks in advance.

Hello,
I am getting ready to set up a backup QMail server,
which will serve as the MX 20 host for some of my domains. I have the main
mail server all set up with QMail and VPOPMail, and it is working
flawlessly. I have done research on this topic and understand that what I
will need to do when I get the backup MX host up and running is to add the
domains to the "rcpthosts" file, and not in the "locals" or "virtualdomains"
files.
I do not anticipate the main mail server going
down, but I figure it is always good to have a "Plan B" whenever
possible.
Here is where my question comes in:
Once I add a new domain into the rcpthosts file, do
I need to kill qmail and restart it (as in with /etc/rc.d/qmail restart), or
will QMail automatically begin to receive messages and place them in the mail
queue, without being restarted?
To restart or not to restart, that is the
question!
Thank you for any help you can provide me
with.

rcpthosts is read by qmail-smtpd each time it is invoked (i.e. for each
incoming connection), so there's no need to restart anything. Just change the
file, and the next time an SMTP connection comes in, the new file will be read.

Hello!
Happy New Year!
I have a Qmail-question: How do you create a rule that will deny relaying
of mails coming from username@ (yup, no domain).
I was telnetting to mail-abuse.org and Qmail failed on Test 9:
:Relay test: #Test 9
>>> mail from: <spamtest@>
I have configured /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts to contain only the hosts I
want to use my SMTP. I am also using tcpserver (with corresponding
/etc/tcp.smtp file containing only IPs allowed to relay out) in my qmail
setup.
Any tips?
TIA

Hi !
Please, tell me how I install the package open-smtp4.tar.gz ?
I don't see any instructions ...
Thanks !

Hi all,
I am a new entry in the list :-).
I have a peculiar problem.
I have two installation of qmail.
One one Linux box. Installed with rpm.
Max concurrency-remote=120
The second on a sun box
using the source tarballs.
I patched the qmail source with the qmail dns patch, the
big-todo.patch,big-concurrency.patch and installed the usual things.
All seemed well. The installation was smoth execpt for a glitch saying
that the sun box has a hidden max FD's of 1024 do the max
concurrency-remote can be 509. so i put 500 and installed.
Now the control/concurrency-remote is set to 400.
The problem is when i send a blast of mails say 150000 from both the
boxes. The Qmail on the sun box takes ages to send while the Linux box
does it in a giffy.
More over the bandwidth is same for both boxex.
The sun box has 1GB of MEM and is running oracle and has arround 350 Mem
free at almost all times.
The Linux box is the primary webserver and has 256MB MEM and has loads
of services running on it.
I really max the potential on my linux box.
I would like to know if any one of u have faced a similar problem on
SunOS 5.8.
One thing i saw was that during the mail blast the "iowait" on the sun
box is huge. more than 50% at all times.
Thanks.
Any help is appreciated.
PS. I am sorry for the length mail but i think it was necessary.
Regards
neo.

I own a ISP and we're having problems with the "Snowhite Virus" and outlook
users...its running rampant..from about 3 weeks back we got one or 2
bounces a week..now we're up to 40 a day....
I have created a controls/badmailfrom and added [EMAIL PROTECTED] however
mail still goes though....any ideas why this isn't rejecting mail?
I have looked at the logs and it seems that qmail treats it as a regular
mail without checking...
any ideas?

It's not just Outlook users. It does much more than just read their
address book. See http://www.vet.com.au/html/zoo/descriptions/hybris.htm
for more info.

Yes. The badmailfrom file rejects mail that has the "MAIL FROM:" field
in the file. If you look at the mail headers closely, you'll see that
the MAIL FROM: field is actually "<>" and it's the "From:" field that is
"Hahaha <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>".
Try using qmail-scanner to solve this problem. You don't need a virus
scanner to do it - the quarrantine-attachements.txt file will let you
block the mail.
Cheers,

I found something that seems right.
I will check if the .qmail - alias files has executable rights, or the
alias domains directory.
I believe that is the case here?

Orjan, You have got it... :)
.qmail can not be marked as executable. I remember reading about that in
living with qmail but don't recall the reason. It has soemthing to do
with security.
try this chmod a-x .qmail for each of the popboxes. Likewise for the
alias file.
Have fun...

Ok this is wierd. after new years eve, i can no longer receive mail that is sent to me
remotely through my qmail server. i.e i can send myself and others on my network
email, but noone can receive mail that is sent from elsewhere on the net, the mail
just does not show up, and the person that sends it gets those "warning: message
undelivered for 4 hours" type messages
i know i didnt change anything in my setup because i was away for new years. has
anyone else had this? i can send (smtp) to remote comps perfectly fine, just not
receive. any ideas?
cheers
