Are there any indepth documentation relating to this and other qmail

Hello Roger,
qmail-pw2u wants the contents of /etc/passwd to be passed/piped to it. If
you wanted to create an assignment file from the /etc/passwd, you might try
something like
cat /etc/passwd | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pw2u > /var/qmail/users/assign
If you do that though, be sure you delete people who won't need mail. Or
you could make your own assign file, but you would have to figure that out
yourself :-) ALSO REMEMBER TO RUN /var/qmail/bin/qmail-newu AFTER YOU HAVE
AN ASSIGN FILE. This has caused me a little trouble in the past :-D

There is one file for both SMTP and QMTP routes. It is called mailroutes.
I found that design clearer than havning two files - I couldn't figure out
which file I would want to have precedence, and reading from two files had
been messier anyhow.
However, you can just copy your smtproutes file to mailroutes and it will
work. I have just extended the format but SMTP is assumed if no protocol
is given.
I think there may be a little glitch left: an explicit SMTP route may not
be able to override MXPS-based QMTP routing. I'll look into this later
today.
I will also look inte patching qmail-showctl and the manpages for
qmail-remote and qmail-control if people actually use this patch...
I'm still looking for feedback on the actual code...

The format I propose for control/mailroutes is the following:
--- snip ---
Two example lines looks like this:
almqvist.net:beta.lunds.lu.se:209:qmtp
propellerheads.org:mail-relay.df.lth.se
In the first case, QMTP will be used to transfer messages for
the almqvist.net domain to beta.lunds.lu.se, port 209.
In the second case, SMTP will be used to transfer messages for
the propellerheads.org domain to mail-relay.df.lth.se, port 25.
PLEASE NOTE that SMTP will be assumed as protocol even if you
specify 209 as the port, but no protocol. In fact, SMTP will be
used in all cases except if the last field is exactly 'qmtp'.
PLEASE NOTE that you cannot specify only a protocol. If you wish
to specify a protocol, you MUST specify a port. Bad things may
happen.
--- snap ---
If there were two files, I'd basically have to "merge" them internally
anyway... Or one file would have to have precedence over the other - but
what happens if I specify a wildcard in one file but one of that
domain's subdomains in the other?

It also seems to me that one of the design traits of qmail is
simplicity of config files - I can't find the reference, but I thought
somewhere DJB said that having to parse complex config files is a cause of
problems. Parseing two files, one for SMTP and one for QMTP, seems more in
line with that philosophy than having one file that must be parsed for
meaning rather than just correctness.
Just my .02.

the difficulty with two files is precidence... if you have files like
this:
smtproutes:
.com:mail-relay1.internal
mail.example.com:mail-relay1.internal
qmtproutes:
:mail-relay2.internal
example.com:mail-relay2.internal
mail.example.com:mail-relay2.internal
then you have to read the files at the same time to determine which route
to use; what do you do if you have two entries for the same domain in both
files -> which one takes priority? would you notice mail.example.com
appears in both files?
Added complexity makes for more bugs.

If you're using redhat or SuSE linux, a script in redhat like this could
help
#!/bin/sh
# to start qmail pop3d
case "$1" in
start )
echo "starting qmail pop3d"
/path to/tcpserver 0 pop3 etc etc....

pu this as say qmail-pop3d in /etc/rc.d/init.d for redhat or /sbin/init.d
for SuSE.
then if say you start in runlevel 3 change to /etc/rc.d/init.d/rc3.d and
put symbolic links like say S35qmail-pop3d and K35qmail-pop3d both
pointing to your script. this should start qmail-pop3d on boot. of course
for suse that would mean /sbin/init.d/rc3.d or whatever runlevel it is
that you boot into.
Your observation is correct, the text I pasted is an incoming message. The
point is, the only reason it bounced and is being sent back to the user (and
me, the postmaster) is because the address got messed up with control
characters. There are probably many others with correct addresses going out
through my system.
I *do* want to receive these bounce messages. But I want to find a way to
stop the culprit from sending all this junk through my system. To me it
looks like the "from" address that shows in the outgoing messages is
[EMAIL PROTECTED], how can I block messages with this originating address
(or subject line) from going through the system?

Uh-oh. I guess I wasn't reading your original message well enough.
Now it seems to me you're running an open relay, allowing email from
anywhere to anywhere else through your system. Believe me, you don't
want to do that. You will never be able to keep the spammers away by
trying to filter out messages of certain characteristics.

I'm not running an open relay. I am using tcpserver and allowing relaying
only for IP addresses that belong to my network (RELAYCLIENT). The problem
here is that it's one of my customers who has an application that is sending
out all this junk mail. How do I set up a filter to block until I can get
them to disable the application?

I have some problems with a qmail installed on OpenBSD 2.8, which is running
tinydns as nameserver.
Outside mail reaches with no problem to my Maildir (ie. if I mail from
mail.yahoo.com), but when I try to mail from the localhost I get the
following error:
[From /var/log/maillog]
Jan 7 13:22:32 obsd sendmail[30065]: f07GMU930065: from=root, size=40,

obsd.galian.com.ar
[From /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts]

The other problem that I've found is that when I mail to franco@localhost or
[EMAIL PROTECTED] it delivers mail to /var/mail/franco (however I've
specified in /var/qmail/rc that qmail should use Maildir as the default
format)
Thanks in advance
Ps: I have a similar configuration at work, only that it does not handle
mail from the outside and it has no nameserver running. It is a SuSE 6.4 and
works just fine.

You missed one installation step, replacing the sendmail binary by qmail's
sendmail-wrapper.
Anyway, there's a better option in OpenBSD: just provide the correct pathes
in /etc/mailer.conf; OpoenBSD's /usr/bin/sendmail ist just a wrapper checking
this file.

That's sendmail talking, not qmail (see how it says "sendmail" all over the
place?). You must not have followed the installation instructions explicitly.

Ok thanks Chris and Henning, the problem was that I have installed Qmail
with OpenBSD2.7 and I have little or no testing at all, and then I've
upgraded to OpenBSD 2.8 and started to notice that problem. Thank you very
much I've missed that possibility

Hi :)
has anybody a running system with qmail, SMTP AUTH patch and user
management by vmailmgr ? I run into problems by using the checkvpw program
of vmailmgr ... my first problem was that checkvpw wanted to change group
and user ... as it was started by qmaild. I solved this one by setting
suid and sgid for checkvpw ... but now it still ends with an authorization
failure ... anyone out there who can help me with this ?
Regards
Lars

This kinda worries me. Also makes log analysis a pest. What's wrong?

Hi,
Absolutely nothing. The message ID is the inode number of the messages
queue file. These do get reused. See the qmail-log(5) man page for
details of qmail's logging output.

Hi all.
I've written an "Italian qmail HOWTO", this document (in italian
language) explain how
to install,configure and running qmail.
This isn't a translation of the english "qmail howto" but is a new
document write.
It can be found in
http://www.folug.cjb.net/qmail/qmail-HOWTO.html
I hope that it could be useful for all qmail users.
I will post the link to qmail.org and ILDP (italian linux doc project)
Regards.

Hi!
There patch I released earlier wasn't quite as careful about memory
allocation (or rather, failures of memory allocation) as the rest of Dan's
code. I have released a new version, available from
http://www.almqvist.net/johan/qmail/
I'm still very eager to hear your comments. I'll stick with the mailroutes
design for now, though :->

One comment: if smtproutes is compatible with mailroutes, why not use
smtproutes instead of mailroutes?

Because the name is too confining... It implies smtp. mail is more generic
:)
But I still prefer having smtp and qmtp separately (keeping the good
tradition of the multiple qmail conf files)

But what about precedence as Johan mentioned earier?
(e.g. Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>)
What could be done is to use BOTH smtproutes and mailroutes. Then it's sort
of backwards compatible. smtproutes will be read first. Then mailroutes. I
don't have an opinion about precedence here, but at least a smtproutes-file
would not be ignored. Which is most important.
A future qmail needs a qmail-lint shipped with it. As djbdns today ships
with nice tools like dnstrace, there is a definitive need for
trace/lint-tools for qmail.

I don't think it's a difficult problem to solve. There's an existing set
of config. file that can cause conflict: locals and virtualdomains. The
issue was solved in that case by stating clearly in the docs that locals
is processed first and so will win in a conflict situation.
My preference is for seperate files to specify artificial routes for
smtp and qmtp, and for the instructions in qmtproutes to be processed
first, thereby winning in any conflict situation.

hi,
yup etern works if you patch a few of the qmail source files. (there is a
patch floating around somewhere)
we've done it, and when the customer has a static IP address it works not a
problem.

Is it necessary, even if you can ping on the internet your "mail.xyz.com
or smtp.xyz.com", to have your mx server listed with your registrar?

Well, your question is vague. Are you pinging from outside or inside
your intranet? You haven't done a true test if you don't ping from
outside your intranet.
What it comes down to, does the outside see those addresses. If the
outside can then it's not "necessary". On the other hand, when you
register your name with ICANN, you are required to provide 2 DNS
servers you can be reached from. It's typical to place MX records on a
DNS server that's outside your network as well as inside your network
(though outside your firewall).
If you have a lot of questions about DNS, you're probably better off
finding a list that specializes in it, though I suspect there's plenty
of expertise on this list.

Is it outlined somewhere how to block a single mail address to a
single mail address.
I have a user who is being harrassed and I need to intervene.

If someone is harrassing one of your users, then it would be reasonable to
presume that in doing so, they give up the privilege to email *anyone* at
your site. Therefore, adding the offender's email address to
/var/qmail/control/badmailfrom will do the trick.

Downtime Is Not An Option
Hello all,
I am a newbie to both qmail and UNIX. Just a few days back I
have installed qmail 1.03 on my home machine. I have followed
all the standard instruction in INSTALL.* docs in the qmail
package.
I can send and
receive messsages from one user to another and have configured
my KDE email cleint to work with it.
Now, I want some client from shell mode such as Pine to work.
How can I get my Pine to work with it? I use RedHat Linux with
Pine 4.21.
Thanks in advance and eagerly looking foward for the replies
from all you people out there.

Best regards,
kat mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
You weren't specific enough. Did you configure qmail to use the
Maildir email format or the old INBOX format>
Pine uses the INBOX format natively. If you're using the Maildir
format then you'll have to set up a pop3 or imap daemon to still use
pine.
While I've never used it, I understand that Mutt is an excellent text
based email shell client that uses the Maildir format.

Well,if you use pine just update the inbox path to
~/Mailbox if you use Mailbox or ~/Maildir/ if you use Maildir/
Remember this is with Pine 4.30, I don't know for older version.
has anyone used this file with success?
and if not why is it still in the docs?
