I have a database of over 50,000 customer e-mails that we
wish to send a newsletter to, probably monthly, from a RH System running Qmail.
Would this require any special configuration changes or should a stock Qmail
install work just fine? At the moment sending mail is working fine from the
machine.
This database is in MySQL. I was thinking of using PHP to
retrieve and send each individual e-mail; is this the best way, or is there
another way I should do it?
Also, I would like to manage bouncebacks somehow - how
could I track any failed e-mails and either remove this from the database or add
them to a new database that I could check each time I send this
e-mail.
Finally, any good utilities around to help with composing
MIME e-mail? Ideally I could construct the e-mail on a Windows PC and then copy
it over to the RedHat box..
Many thanks in advance

Yes and No. It depends on the program that wants to fetch the emails and
whether you have a fix IP address or not and how much control you have
on the qmail server.
If the program doesn't depend on positive return codes to the ETRN command
(otherwise you have to patch qmail-smtpd) and you have a fixed IP address
and you have control of the qmail server have a look at the serialmail
package written by djb and the AutoTURN section on
http://cr.yp.to/serialmail.html

It can be done with dynamic DNS as well, but that takes some hacking.
But it's entirely possible to get serialmail talk to a RADIUS server
to figure out which IP address the mail should be sent to (thereby
solving the authentication problem in one fell swoop).

| Hi,

| I want to filter out messages with the following header from being

| ---------------------------------------------
| Hi. This is the qmail-send program at relay.ispkenya.com.
| I tried to deliver a bounce message to this address, but the bounce bounced!

| I have tried putting some portions of the above in the badmailfrom control
| file to no avail. Any tips?
That doesn't work because not only is the above text not in the header
- it is in the body of the incoming message - but the badmailfrom file
only controls messages based on the envelope from, which is not even
in the header, it's outside the message itself. (Read the
envelopes(5) man page to see what I mean.)
In this case, the message is a doublebounce, so the envelope sender
will be <#@[]> (it will be in the Return-Path header field after the
message is finally delivered).
Here is what you can do:
# cat > /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-doublebounce << 'EOT'
|if grep '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'; then exit 99; else exit 0; fi
&postmaster
EOT
# echo doublebounce > /var/qmail/control/doublebounceto
Then restart qmail.
To understand what this all means, read the dot-qmail, qmail-command
and qmail-send manual pages. Read them before you do anything; the
above advice is just off the top of my head and untested, and you
should understand the solution and its consequences yourself before
implementing it.

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

I think I would probably make changes to control/smtproutes and test it
until it worked. Man qmail-remote is a good reference...

I'd suggest having your dialupscripts overwrite /var/qmail/smtproutes
when you dial.

"I live in the heart of the machine. We are one."
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.

To make your qmail box forward all mail to the sendmail relay, put
the line ':sendmailrelay.example.com' into /var/qmail/config/smtproutes.
You shouldn't need to restart anything; the next qmail-remote process to
start should read it in.
To make your sendmail box forward all mail to the qmail relay,
adjust the DS, DR, and possibly DH settings in sendmail.cf and restart
sendmail.
To make this happen automatically, have whatever process is going
onto or off of the net (pppd? pump? dhcp?) run a script upon changes.
You'll probably need that script to somehow rsh to the other box because
both will need to be modified. Also, what happens when they're both
offline? Do they forward mail back and forth until your LAN is saturated?
This is a non-trivial task, and one that is beyond this list.
Frankly, I'm not sure I'd even bother trying, because you'll probably always
have it 90% complete and 10% broken, and I've coded some pretty ugly hacks
in my day.
Not knowing what shoes you're in, I'd look into a different
solution, perhaps straightening out your connectivity, or making it so that
one of the boxes can route out to the internet by itself or using the other
as a gateway.

Two other caveats:
1) The proper arrangement of these settings to achieve a simple
desired result, and the frustration thereof, is one of the big reasons I
switched to qmail.
2) For proper advice on the sendmail configuration, see a sendmail
list or newsgroup. Most of us are here because we gave up on that bloody
pit of doom, despair, and desperation.

Hi!
I made a few modifications to Russell's patch. You can now specify routes
for QMTP just as you can for SMTP. Ths filename is changed to
control/mailroutes and the format changed a tad, but the old file will
still work if moved.
No warranties and YMMV.
http://www.almqvist.net/johan/qmail-1.03-qmtpc-mailroutes.patch
I am not an experienced c or qmail programmer, so all feedback in
extremely welcome.
I will be setting up a QMTP test autoresponder shortly, keep tuned to this
channel :->

I was about to write a mail asking for qmtproutes, so great!
But... Do you mean your solution ignores control/smtproutes? Or can you
have both smtproutes for SMTP _and_ mailroutes for QMTP?

Your FreeBSD 4.0 probably has soft updates enabled, while you 4.2

As I've written: an experienced unix administrator won't have problems
setting this up without an explicit documentation IMHO, but it looks like
there are more and more people switching to unix and qmail the same time (ar
lets say: trying to get qmail running without much unix knowledge and mail in
general). Especially for those this could be a good help, so go on writing.

This is a common architecture. Not suitable for us as we are an ISP, but
common and IMHO good.

I just wouldn't call qmail new - the newest version is 1.03,
qmail-1.03.tar.gz is dated june 1998. It is anyway modern ;-))

Hi!
Having caught the qmtp virus, I set up a service for qmtp testing - hey,
it'd been a lot easier for me to set this up if there'd been such a
service.
If anyone dinks around with it too much, it will disappear without further
notice.
The following four addresses exist:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
has-mxps means that the MX records comply with MXPS, ie Russell's patch to
qmail-remote will do the trick. no-mxps means no MXPS, ie my patch and an
entry in the mailroutes file (replacement for smtproutes) are necessary.
The -verbose variants will return the headers from the incoming message.
The return message will only be sent by QMTP if you use MXPS.
IMPORTANT: The return message will be sent to the ENVELOPE SENDER. Use
qmail-inject [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
to get it right if you're in doubt.

The problem is with your MX record:
bash$ nslookup -q=MX enfinet.net
Server: ns.algonet.se
Address: 194.213.74.1
enfinet.net preference = 5, mail exchanger = enfinet.net
enfinet.net nameserver = NS2.enfinet.net
enfinet.net nameserver = NS1.enfinet.net
enfinet.net internet address = 202.173.146.23
enfinet.net internet address = 203.197.74.19
NS2.enfinet.net internet address = 202.173.146.23
NS1.enfinet.net internet address = 202.173.146.21
You need to set your MX record to point to mail.enfinet.net instead of
just enfinet.net.

I have a database of over 50,000 customer e-mails that we wish to send a
newsletter to, probably monthly, from a RH System running Qmail. Would this
require any special configuration changes or should a stock Qmail install

This database is in MySQL. I was thinking of using PHP to retrieve and send
each individual e-mail; is this the best way, or is there another way I

Also, I would like to manage bouncebacks somehow - how could I track any
failed e-mails and either remove this from the database or add them to a new
database that I could check each time I send this e-mail.
Finally, any good utilities around to help with composing MIME e-mail?
Ideally I could construct the e-mail on a Windows PC and then copy it over
to the RedHat box..
I'm looking for resources, pointers etc.. as I can probably send all the
things now but don't want it dying halfway through!

I would definitely recommend ezmlm, the qmail-friendly mailing list
manager. Or, rather, ezmlm-idx. Go to http://www.ezmlm.org/
There are options for MySQL interfacing, the bounce handling is very, very
good and you can set up a list that definitely only you can post to. The
creation of the message could be done on the Win machine and sent directly
to the list.
-Johan

Johan Almqvist
I would definately suggest ezmlm-idx also. Works like a charm.
It is also quite easy to whip up a small shell script calling
qmail-inject; I have done this several times for quick and dirty one-time
mailings.

Because it contains both SMTP and QMTP routes. I figured that would be a
better idea, and so did other people.

Hmmm... OK, disregard my previous mail.
Personally, I'd rather have one file for SMTP, and another for QMTP. Does
anyone else here agree with me?

This seems more logical to me as it allows finer control over the
entire system. Oh well, I suppose it isn't critical as qmail-remote
will just have to determine which to use by probing I guess---unless of
course it is accompanied by a port number on which QMTP runs.

Help please:
I have a qmail server behind a firewall. Supposedly, the firewall is
routing port 25 to qmail server. I know that it does work for the ftp &
http. So, theoretically it should for port 25 as well unless something
really strange is going on. I can send client to client behind the
firewall all day long without a hitch. I can send to clients on the
internet without a problem. However, clients on the internet can't send
back to the clients behind the firewall. No client on the internet has a
qmail account on the server & at this point should not.
This is the error that a friend on the internet is getting when
attempting to send me email.
554 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Recipient address rejected: Relay access
denied.
It is interesting to note that the log files never show the email ever
even gets to the server because no log entry exists to show that an email
was rejected.
Who it is addressed to is asalford & certainly has a useable account on
the server that does work locally. I supposedly have all the right info
in the rcpthosts, locals, tcp.smtp, & me files with all the right the
right entries.
It is possible that my ISP has port 25 blocked but, how do I find this
out? I need some diagnostic techniques that would assist me in figuring
out what is wrong.
Thanks,
Andy

This error doesn't come from qmail. Your qmail server is never seeing the
connection, so it's no wonder nothing is in the logs.
The MX records for abcdefg.com show the following:
0 glcsf.hookedonphonics.com
10 mailback.brainstorm.net
20 mail.brainstorm.net
There's no IP address associated with glcsf.hookedonphonics.com, and Sendmail
answers on the other MXs.

That means that you don't have "abcdefg.com" listed in your control/rcpthosts
file.

I can't say. Dan might choose to use it, or he might not. If my
experience with him in the past is any judge, he'll take my code, and
fix this thing, and that thing, and by the time all is said and done,
none of it is the same. :) At least that's what happened with the
qmail-pop3d that I submitted to him. Not that I'm complaining -- his
design is much better than mine.

Mail2DB is suitable for putting in a .qmail/.forward file and will archive
e-mail to a SQL database. Currently, there is only the storage component.
This was written because somone on a LUG list expressed interest in such
a system, but he only knew PHP (which isn't an ideal language for calling
from a .qmail file ;-). Hopefully a user interface will be forthcoming.
Note that if you are using .qmail, the envelope sender/recipient is store
as well.
You can get it at ftp://ftp.tummy.com/pub/tummy/Mail2DB/

I seem to have a problem with permissions and qmail.
I have tried to make the users in my /etc/passwd file into qmail users

Fatal: unable to open users/assign
Could someone please advise what the required permissions should be, /
or point me to some previous posts which answer this type of problem ?
Without being able to get past this problem I will have to go back to
using the rpm's which I don't want to do
Thanks in advance
