I started writing a qmail version who use a new SMTP syntax to start a QMTP conversation over a SMTP protocol: S> 220 ready C> HELO mail.test S> 250 mail.test C> PROTO QMTP After this command, a standard smtp server returns a 5xx reply: sendmail:> 500 Command unrecognized: "PROTO QMTP" qmail:> 502 Unimplemented My qmail-smtpd start a patched qmail-qmtpd (responding "421 failure" if exec fail); qmail-qmtpd then reply S> 220 switching to QMTP and then start the new protocol. I identified the sources to patch: qmail-smtpd.c, qmail-qmtpd.c, and qmail-remote.c . The patch for qmail-smtpd.c is trivial: a new smtpcommands[] entry, a new procedure smtp_proto who check the argument and execute "bin/qmail-qmtpd" (and print 421 if exec fails). I then tried to patch qmail-qmtpd adding only an option to send the 220 reply, but qmail-qmtpd does not implement some useful features that must be present on a public mail exchanger (i.e. no relay control ...). May be it's a good idea, but the task is too big for me. Someone interested? -- Tullio Andreatta Logicom S.r.l.

It's no good idea to start a SMTP conversion and switch to QMTP later. MXPS (http://cr.yp.to/proto/mxps.txt) is the better solution.

It's not a good idea. - by the time your method has started QMTP, all or most of the latency that QMTP tries to avoid has been introduced by the negotiation. - your method adds another roundtrip to SMTP conversations with hosts that don't suport QMTP (this can be solved by only reacting if the initial SMTP greeting contains the QMTP word, just like ESMTP) Anyway, MXPS is the way to go until somebody comes up with something *better*.

Hello, 1) suppose I want to create a group "admin" on my system and giving it qmail account (i.e. Maildir). I have severals persons in this group. I want that mail sent to group sadmin (e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED]) go to all persones in this group, instead to sent for everyone among them separatly? More generaly, how I can sent message that everybody in my domaine receive? 2) I installed IMAP/Horde/IMP on my relay server and IMAP, from my web site I can sent messages, but can not imap/pop them. As IMAP do not supporte Maildir format, I'm testing maildir2mbox to change to Unix classical format, but this don't changing anything. What I can do to allow users getting their mail on my LAN server from web site? PS: I'm copying c-client, mail.h ... on the LAN server. telling firewall to allow IMAP/POP from Relay to Lan and vice-versa. Thanks __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Recompile your IMAP server code setting it up for Maildirs. We are happily using IMP and QMAIL..

Edit the /home/admin/.qmail file. Add all the addresses you want to be on the "list", the file will look something like this: ./Maildir/ &[EMAIL PROTECTED] &[EMAIL PROTECTED] EOF On Tue, 9 Jan 2001, [iso-8859-1] Ould wrote: > Hello, > > 1) suppose I want to create a group "admin" on my system > and giving it qmail account (i.e. Maildir).

Title:Hi, everybody, how are you?
I have a problem. I have installed qmail as my mail server. I use alias files in alias account
("/var/qmail/alias") to create some redirection adress that i need.
Today, i tried to create an account with the file ".qmail-ar.rubin", but when someone sends
email to this account, it returns with the below message. The ".qmail-ar.rubin" has the follow line:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
which generates a redirection to my e-mail adress.
Someone knows why is these happening ? I can�t create email accounts with dots ?
Thanks,
Alan R.----

Those mailing lists suck. Fortunately, this is the _qmail discussion list_, not a list to help newbies, so we don't fall in that category.

Even if it's more logical. I definitely see your point. However, I've included it in the latest patch... I'd really like too see some feedback... About the logging: There should be a way to see what proto was used for delivery... but smtp is 'the default' in other parts of the patch, so it could here too. However, the log will be incompatible anyhow, because right now, an eventual analysis tool will just not see the qmtp deliveries at all. To fix that, my patch minus the protocol information must be used, and maybe (depending on the log analysis tool ;-) I'd even have to fake an SMTP status code for the qmtp transfers. Yuck! How do you want it? -Johan -- Johan Almqvist http://www.almqvist.net/johan/qmail/

No, don't fake smtp status codes.

One would also want to scan the file and see if it is in html format or txt format as the footer at the end of an html format would not make much sence. One would have to write a small program that will scan the file, identify what format the mail is in, then add the message that is appropriate for the format.

Hello, Sorry to bring this to the list, as I'm sure that instructions for this are posted *somewhere*, but I can seem to find them. We are running Qmail with tcpserver, and would like to duplicate the sendmail feature of denying connections from mail servers which do not have DNS setup correctly for them. We are not so concerned with how a server IDs itself, (HELO) just as long as forward and reverse DNS for their hostname/IP matches. The last requirement is that we want to deny these connections with an error message. Denying with tcpserver directly just causes the remote host to contact the next highest preference MX server. Can anyone point me in teh direction of some good documentation on this? My inclanation at this point is to run tcpserver with -p and have it call a program that will deny the connection if $TCPREMOTEHOST is not set. Thanks for your time.

But please use w/ care (extra CPU load w/ pattern > matching) The extra CPU probably comes from reading the control file, not the pattern matching. By default the control file is read in blocks of 64 bytes which can mean a lot of reads on a large badmailpatterns file. Just change the 64 in control.c to something like 2048 redo the installation and you'll most likely see a significant drop in CPU. Final note. I have no access to that server anymore so I have no idea how long that patch will remain there. Regards. > > --Larry M.

Still, the "Spamcontrol" monster patch (includes this and other patches) seems to work fine for 1.03, if I remember rightly... so it looks like someone's already got it working on 1.03. Hmm, it's late, I shan't check if spamcontrol is listed on qmail.org. If not, it does get "Announced" on this list, i.e. check the archives. cheers, Andrew.
Hi! I'm very keen on getting this list via qmtp, as to not abuse the SMTP gateway I'm currently using. Unless we can get DJB to replace his qmail-remote, I can see one solution: someone "close" to the cr.yp.to machines puts up a sublist and uses the patched qmail-remote. Any offers? -Johan -- Johan Almqvist http://www.almqvist.net/johan/qmail/

Doesn't even need to be close, just well-connected. I'd be happy to do that on my server (to which I will move my qmail.org mirror soon, too). If you could provide me in private mail with concise instructions for setting up a sublist (I'm no ezmlm guru) I'll have a look. Could take a few days tho.

Everything seems to be up and running now, *but* list.cr.yp.to refuses to reply to any lists.dataloss.nl address. dataloss.nl works fine, lists.dataloss.nl works fine for anything but list.cr.yp.to.

OK...i managed to stop the messages getting kicked back (for now).Now when I send a message from anywhere other than my machine...it disappears into limbo. If i use qmail-inject to test a message, it shows up w/no problem. I cannot get the mail from outside my computer tho.I am using ./Maildir/ in defaultdelivery and all the proper domains are listed in locals, etc. I have set up according to LWQ, but can't get the qmail-newu to work (missing the assign file) or qmail-users to xfer the /etc/passwd. Neither of them are working. Qmail was working fine, then all of a sudden, *poof* no more working.Thanks.

Also search freshmeat.net for ODBCSocketServer ... I've used it to access MSSQL from perl scripts ... it has C code samples too ... requires an XML parser but you could change the socket server to return data in a different manner. You could probably write an authentication module for qmail using this method to access the data.

Talking to danp on irc and reading some sources, it *looks like* ezmlm sends out messages with 'Precedence: bulk', but rejects these when it gets 'm. This breaks sublists.

coming fro ma sendmail background i have a few questions about the method that qmail does things. 1) If a local user doesn't exist sendmail gives you a error when sending mail. IE - i send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], the local account or alias kurthb doesn't exist so before accepting the message for delivery sendmail says User Unknows or whatever it says. Why didn't DJB have qmail do something similar. plus doesn't the sendmail method cut down on the number of disk writes? If somebody has a clear answer I'd love to hear it. Maybe DJB cares to address it himself :-) ~kurth

Maybe DJB cares to > address it himself :-) This information isn't know to qmail-smtpd. As part of the security segmentation, qmail-smtpd doesn't understand or have file access to the files that control the final delivery (which are in the user's directory and owned by the user; while smtpd is running not as root but as a dedicated user that may not have any access to user directories). -- David Dyer-Bennet / Welcome to the future! / [EMAIL PROTECTED] SF: http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/ Minicon: http://www.mnstf.org/minicon/ Photos: http://dd-b.lighthunters.net/
I have some problem that affect the primary relay server. The problem occurs when a certain domain (which is slow, I guess) using postfix sending mail to a user in my domain. The connection from the domain spawn lot's of qmail-smtpd and qmail-queue, but due to slow connection it takes long time for a message to be transfered. Suddenly the hanging process of qmail-queue produces lot's of zombie processes, and the only thing I can do is to restart the relay machine. Is there any known problem with postfix (eg. the CR+LF issue) or is there any configuration tricks I should use? FYI I'm using tcpserver for handling the qmail-smtpd concurency. TIA, =pampie

This is a problem. qmail-smtpd should wait on child qmail-queues, or those zombie qmail-queues should be cleaned up by init if qmail-smtpd exits. What operating system are you running? How are you running tcpserver/qmail-smtpd?
