Kurth,

This virus that you speak of doesn't come from the sexxyfun.net but from 
an infected windows machine. Have a look in the full headers look for 
address in a received header..  However it will change for each infected 
machine that sends it.

I contacted the ISP that the email originated from(one of their Dial-up 
customers). The dealt with it promptly.

For more infomation, follow the URL below...
http://www.datafellows.com/v-descs/hybris.htm

Hope this throws some light on the subject...

Hy all,
 
All my virtual e-mail account clients are complaining about recieving multiple messages sometimes. They don't recieve the same amount of multiple messages, and not all the time. It seems to happen "randomly".  I use vpopmail to administrate my virtual accounts.
 
I by myself got this error when I was mading some tests: I sent various messages to one test email account, everything worked fine, suddenly, in one test, I sent from my outlook express 1  message to that email 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!

And all the list members are complaining about receiving this email multiple 
times too. Do you really see a benefit from posting this again and again and 
again? If nobody answered the first time, nobody will answer the 2nd, 3rd and 
so on.
Maybe you wan't to try the vpopmail mailing list.

Hi!
I have a little problem.
I'm trying to forward mail from local user maildir to remote address.
I need to change "To:" field 'on the fly' I mean: 
when mail is forwarding from local [EMAIL PROTECTED] to remote
[EMAIL PROTECTED] it comes with local user address in "To" header. 
How to change this?
I know the .qmail commands &address and |prog but they doesn't work.
Any ideas?
Thx for advice.

"How can I set the timezone used in headers?
Why is the time wrong in headers?
Mar 3rd, 2000 10:58

Dave Sill

qmail uses Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), instead of the local
timezone, in any timestamps it creates. This is indicated by the "-0000"
at the end of the date specification. It means "no offset from GMT".
(Eastern Standard Time has an offset of "-0500" which means five hours
before GMT.)

qmail uses GMT for two reasons: first, it makes it easier to track
messages that pass through multiple timezones, and second, converting to
the local timezone requires linking with the standard C runtime library,
which DJB has gone to great lengths to avoid since it can be a source of
security and reliability problems.

There are two headers fields where qmail puts a time: Received and Date.

qmail will only add a Date field to locally-injected (not SMTP) messages
that don't already have a Date field. If you don't like the Date header
qmail adds, either configure your mail user agent (MUA) to add them, or
use the "datemail" command to inject messages instead of qmail-inject.
Some people even replace qmail-inject with a symbolic link to datemail.

Received fields are always stamped in UTC. Changing this would require a
source code patch, and would be ill-advised for the reasons stated
above."

Lack of identification system built-in to SMTP is "royal pain"

Authenticated SMTP is a reality, it just takes a patch to qmail and an
appropriate checkpassword-compatable program to do it.  Look at
www.qmail.org/top.html and do a search for Krzysztof Dabrowski, the author
of the best patch for ESMTP AUTH.

I need urgently to configure the relay in the qmail and I'm not
getting.

My situation is the following:
  
I have several users that are connected my server to receive and to
send e-mails.
Those users are not in my network.
Everybody has dynamic IPs because they connect to the Internet
through several others ISPs.
For that reason I opted for the POP-before-SMTP authentication, and
I installed the package "relay-ctrl".

I followed all the instructions of the file "Readme":

# gzip -dc relay-ctrl-2.5.tar.gz | tar xvf -
# make
# make root-install

After, I put in crontab the followed lines:

* * * * * /usr/sbin/relay-ctrl-age

And, in the file /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail, I insert the followed lines
between "esac" and "exit 0":

tcpserver -v -R 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup pop3.tecnohost.com.br \
/bin/checkpassword /usr/sbin/relay-ctrl-allow /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 2>&1 
| \
/var/qmail/bin/splogger pop3d &

So, as nothing happened, I read all messages in the list archive about
"relay-ctrl" and I discovered that was necessary to do more things than
file "Readme" didn't explain:

1. Create the directory /etc/relay-ctrl

2. Create some files and put inside the /etc/relay-ctrl:
   2.1. expiry
   2.2. rule
   2.3. rulesdir
   2.4. smtpcdb
   2.5. smtprules
   2.6. spooldir
   2.7. tcprules
   
3. Inside this files, put:
   3.1. expiry    = 900
   3.2. rule      = :allow,RELAYCLIENT=''
   3.3. rulesdir  = /etc
   3.4. smtpcdb   = tcp.smtp.cdb
   3.5. smtprules = tcp.smtp
   3.6. spooldir  = /var/spool/relay-ctrl
   3.7. tcprules  = /usr/local/bin/tcprules

4. Create the directory /var/spool/relay-ctrl/

5. After all, I reboot the computer.

I would like to know if still need to do more some thing...
'Cause as I said before, in README it doesn't explain practically anything.
Most of the things that I did was through the messages of that list.   
As if I was joining pieces of a puzzle.

I ask that, because the things are not still working.  :-(((

See what it's already working:

1. The users can receive messages from any domain out of my network.
2. The users can send messages for any domain out of my network.

See what is not still working:

1. The users can send messages without receive first.
2. Inside the /var/spool/relay-ctrl/ a file is created with the name of
   the address IP that is using the e-mail in the moment.
   But this file stay empty (is that correct?) and is not never
   deleted.


Please help me!
I'm there are days trying to solve that without success.
I don't know more than to do.

With the last line as is, the messages get bounced, because 'domain

Hi,

We are experiencing the following problem:

When using Exhange 5.5 to send mail through qmail 1.03 and then reading the
mail with Netscape any version the following happens.
If the user decides to send a mail and add BCC-recipients the BCC-recipients
will show up in the mail in Netscape.

Here you find the mail as it's received in Netscape

Hi Arjan,

The sending MUA should remove the Bcc header line before submitting the
message to the MTA. The Bcc field should only be used by the MUA to
construct the envelope.

> Does anyone have any solutions to this problem.

Use an MUA that does the right thing.

TIME_WAIT means that a connection has been closed but the server is hanging
around for a little bit to clear up any packets that belong to that
connection. 

Look at the TIME_WAIT lines:

Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address     Foreign Address  State
tcp        0      0 192.168.1.2:25    10.10.0.3:1070   TIME_WAIT

        If 'Local Address' has :25 after it, then yes, it was a mail
connection that is waiting to be cleaned up.  If it has a different port,
then it is a different type of connection.

        Seeing some of these is not necessarily an indication of a problem.
Seeing a large number of these may indicate a problem.

We have two Linux servers using dial up links to connect to the net. One is
using qmail & other is using sendmail.

Sometimes one is not connected to the net & sometimes the other is not. We
want that each of the offline servers should forward its mail to the server
connected to the net. Preferably this should be automated but even a minor
configuration change that can be scripted is acceptable.

Does anybody have a suggestion how this can be implemented.

With best regards.
Sanjay.





We use qmail on RH Linux 6.2 and connect through multiple isps....use the
isp giving the best connection at the time...

I want qmail to initiate multiple smtp sessions so as to send mail faster.
How to accomplish this through a dial-up connection?

Also, my server makes a direct smtp connection & I want to configure it to
use my isp's server for forwarding the mail. Also, if this can be configure
to accomodate possibility of different isp's being dialled...it would be
great.

Hope someone can give me some pointers.

With best regards.

Sanjay.

qmail already does this.  No configuration necessary.  However, you may want
to raise your concurrencyremote limit if you are latency bound instead of
bandwidth bound.  Read `man qmail-send` for more details.

Hello folks.

I'm trying to send emails with PHP (Linux) through a remote mailserver running qmail 
1.03. I'm using the smtp-send class by M Lemos. The problem is that ALL emails being 
sent get a weird header at the first line:

Return-Path: <"johan <johan"@mail.johanbjork.com>

Exactly like that it looks! And I'm not trying to set that header in PHP. Even if I 
do, it still look as bad. If I use exactly the same code but send mail through another 
mail server (one running sendmail), everything works fine.

So I wonder if anyone knows what possibly could be wrong?

Johan Bj�rk






Actually, the log file says the following:

Jan  4 16:43:18 mail qmail: 978622998.812528 info msg 34119: bytes 406 from 
<johan_<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> qp 1193 3 uid 502

So it's a bit strange I reccon.

Would appreciate some help.

I'm not familiar with the class you refer to, but qmail constructs the
Return-Path: header from the envelope sender.  It looks like your envelope
sender is in a non-standard format, like:
    "Comment" <address>
which is fine for From: and To: headers, but not for the envelope sender or
recipient.  Specify the envelope sender as only <address> and it might
work better.

Have you considered authenticated SMTP?  That way clients would have to
verify themselves each time they sent out a message, similar to the POP
login procedure.  There is a very good patch for qmail that enables the
ESMTP AUTH command, written by Krzysztof Dabrowski, available at
www.qmail.org/top.html.

Personally I think that ESMTP AUTH is a much cleaner way of doing things
than SMTP-after-POP, and most major mail clients support it, including
Outlook and Outlook Express.

I have set up the qmail_vpopmail and everything run fine under
tcpcontrol.
Only strange thing happend is that I can send mail from any virtual user
to hotmail.com but can not get any mail from hotmail. If hotmail user
send the email to my server it will generate the following error.

Doesn't an MX record have to point to an A record?

The value of an MX record is a fully qualified domain name, not 
an IP address. Update your MX record set to use names only.

By the looks, raypatima has fixed the problem - no doubt with the help
of a few on this list - but I'd like to add that raypatima made life
very easy for everyone simply because he chose to supply the real
domain name rather than cloak it.

Thanks rapatima. You did the right thing, I hope it helped solve your
problem quickly.

qmtp seems to be about twice as fast as smtp in terms of the amount of
time a message spends sitting in the queue.

I can't get this via Lynx (so I had to download it on my windows
machine and move it over; trivial for a file this size).  I can get
the file displayed, but I can't save it any way I've tried.  Creating
my own html with a link would let me download it and save it, but the
other workaround was easier.

Has anyone ever tried to make qmail-ldap work with openldap 2 ? Is it
okay to make it work without problem ?

I've got qmail-ldap working with openldap 1.xx for one year and a half
and never had any problem.



Many thanks,

Please use the qmail-ldap mailing list for qmail-ldap specifica.

It is possible to run qmail-ldap with OpenLDAP 2.x, the newest patch 20010101 
has the needed schemas included - with officially IANA assigned OIDs.

Dear All

I've setup quite a few qmail mail servers and have the following problem
the output of qmail-qstat gives
:

messages in queue: 0
messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 23

All these machines appear to have unproccessed messages in the queue -
yet they all work fine.

They were all setup using LWQ.

Any clues appreaciated

Hi all

I have a problem. Optus@Home in Australia (one of two cable internet
providers) have decided to firewall port 25 traffic (incoming) to
their entire network except for their own mail servers. This means my
mail server is virtually useless. They have blocked smtp traffic since
their entire IP range was being listed with ORBS and other open relay
databases since their users were operating open relays. I'll agree,
the network is run like crap since Optus let this happen in the first
place, but the other alternative (Telstra) is not any better by a long
shot.

I have provided a temporary work around, setting up my work mail
server as the primary MX then routing to a different port, on my
Optus@Home server, which I am now running qmail on. This works, but it
is not very nice. Does anyone have any ideas how I can get out of this
problem with Optus firewalling port 25?

Or is the way I have just described the only perceivable way of doing
this (the latter would be my thinking, but I ask in hope of the
former). It would be nice (however dumb and time-and-resource-wasting)
if I could tell clients coming to my server to use a different port
for their SMTP connection, but I haven't seen anything even slightly
to this degree in all my walkings.

Thanks in advance

Maybe ask the administration nicely to open up port 25 for certain IPs if
the machine passes an open relay test?

If no less personal solutions are available, then I will try
it. Getting to talk to the administration of telcorp's here in
Australia is harder than finding a tinny of VB in Alaska at the
moment. They don't particularly care about their customers, and they
know that (at the moment), there are only two cable providers in the
whole country and both are as crap as the other.

However, thanks for the suggestion. I may yet have no other
alternative.

I was told that running servers on either of the cable networks was contrary to their 
AUPs so my mailserver 
runs on a 'permanent' dial-up to BPD which is enough bandwidth for my 20 or so family 
accounts and for various 
other uses. It also gives me a range of static IPs and an IN-ADDR classless routing 
lookup for the names.

Anyway this is OT.. time to go.

This still doesn't help incoming mail, though, does it? I mean, people
sending mail to your mail server can't reach it if port 25 is closed
by the ISP. Do you know any ways around this or is the way I mentioned
in my first post the only way?

My server is colocated on a direct connection to the internet, so 
there is no blockage at the server. Never has been.

So far, this has been a client side issue.

Is your server behind an ISP firewall?

Yep, that's where the problem occurs. All of a sudden, incoming e-mail
is blocked and I have to work a way around it (the current way works,
but is messy and slow).

I believe that at that point, I'd consider my colocated server crippled 
and I would fire them.

Good colo's are easy to find.

Other than being dependent on yet another system to get your email,
what does this actually hurt?  (That one reason may be enough for you
to want to put up with it; you know your needs best.  I'm just trying
to be sure I'm not overlooking some consequence.)

I'm confused.  You say, 'it worked fine', then you say 'email has
not been sent'.  Which is it?

If you are sending a an identical message to 500,000 people, consider
one message with a half-million recipients, rather that trying to
inject a half-million messages in the queue.

Does 50k.data have a Mail header on it?  Just a guess...

Good luck...  I hope your ISP doesn't mind you pushing 25GB of data in

No, it hasn't a Mail Header in it.
I think maybe it will be solved by putting some additional random Chars in
Front of the File.

They don't mind because it's colocated Hosting and we pay much Money for it

Billed is the load of the Line. (Bandwidth Usage)

Sorry! I forgot to right down it worked fine when sending about 100 Messages.

But why it works for 100 Mails then ?

Michael..





I am trying to send mail from host FROM_HOST (1.2.3.4) to host TO_HOST
(1.2.3.5). The mail is addressed to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". qmail is running on
both hosts. Unfortunately, TO_HOST refuses the mail. However, TO_HOST
will accept the mail if it is addressed to "user@domain".

Both the qmail/control/rcpthosts and qmail/control/locals files on
TO_HOST contain:

    [1.2.3.5]
    domain

The following is a snip of the error message presented by FROM_HOST when
TO_HOST rejects mail addressed in the form "user@ip_address" rather than
"user@domain":

    Hi. This is the qmail-send program at FROM_HOST.
    I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following
      addresses.
    This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

    <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
    1.2.3.5 does not like recipient.
    Remote host said: 553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of
      allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1)
    Giving up on 1.2.3.5.

Is there additional information I must add to the
qmail/control/rcpthosts file on TO_HOST to coax TO_HOST into accepting
mail addressed in the form "user@ip_address"?

Thanks!

- Bernie

Try sending to user@[1.2.3.5] instead...

I just happened to be changing my tcpserver rc file today (adding -H for
pop3d) and when I restarted, watched the console for a while, and noticed
this somewhat alarming message:

That's not right. What does your startup script look like? Why is rblsmtpd
involved in your POP startup script, anyway? Or do you start all of your
various tcpservers from one script?

I am a fresh user of Qmail and I have some question when I configurate it. I

hope you may help me to solve these problem. Thx.

1) I have setup a Qmail and the domain of the mail server is mail.abc.com

(abc is not the true domain)

and now I want the users of def.com can also use the smtp service of my

Qmail server. I have started the tcpserver with the following rules:

192.168.0.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""

def.com:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""

abc:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""

:allow

Nevertheless, the smtp server still doesn't work. I just want the user with

the email address [EMAIL PROTECTED] can send email through my Qmail server. What

other things I need to do or where can I seek for help?

Thank you very much if you can help me!!!

cheers,

CK

It makes really no sense to hide your real domain when requesting help here.

You have a great misunderstanding on how tcpserver work and especially the 
rules. And relaying based on the envelope sender address is a really bad idea 
(tm). Consider using smtp after pop or s/t like that.

To become familiar with tcpserver and solve your problem, read

a) all qmail, daemontools and ucspi-tcp related stuff on http://cr.yp.to
b) http://www.lifewithqmail.org/
c) check for additionals at http://www.qmail.org

Hi!

Is there any way to run mails through a script after or before
it enters qmail-inject?
What i want, is to parse a Mail, and to remove unwanted 
characters from the mail.
I already tried to replace qmail-inject with a script
that afterwards calls qmail-inject, but that doesn't 
seem to work right, i sometimes get dublicated Mails !?

The original problem i have, is that some remote smtp
servers weren't happy with dos formatted mails (\n\r)
it seems that those \n\r were removed, therefore
the mail showed up in one single line.
It strangely only happened with some smtp's 
qmail->qmail and qmail->exchange seem to have
this problem, qmail->postfix seems to be ok.

I'd be glad if anybody could comment on this problem !
