My problem is, that I have to pipe the multilog-logs to qmailanalog.
I need advice how to process the multilog-logs (all the different files
created) with qmailanalog on a monthly basis.
All I need is a per-domain analysis of the Traffic caused for mails that
contain the domain as sender or recipient.
any hints?

I think it's more important to use a configuration that does what you
want than to use any particular "standard" configuration.

You can adjust multilog to use a fairly small log file size, then
configure it to run a postprocessing script that appends each complete
file to a monthly log. Another script run monthly via cron can massage
the timestamps using tai64nfrac and run qmailanalog.

Have you looked at the isoqlog log analyzer?

I really hope that I don't have to remind everyone of this, but it looks like I
do.
THE REASON THAT WE USE OPEN SYSTEMS IS BECAUSE IT MEANS WE ARE NOT RESTRICTED
BY SOMEONE ELSE'S DECISIONS. DJB could have chosen to distribute qmail as a
closed source system, porting it to all the *nix's out there, and all of us
would have had to deal with any decisions he made. Personally I like being able
to handle bigger-than-standard DNS replies and being able to pipe all my mail
through a virus filter that is nice enough to open zipped files and tnef
attachments. And I realize that this could not have been done without add-ons
and patches to source code, in other words, I couldn't do this with Exchange.
This is one of the greatest things about open systems. I don't have to have the
Snow White worm infect every one of my workstations because of the decisions of
Gates, McNealy, or Berenstein. So, when you say that you use a configuration
that hinders you in order to stay standard, I tell you to either decide which
configuration works best for your purposes and use it, or just use Exchange.

so far it did what I wanted ;-). As you might remember I did not really
follow LWQ on my first installation and the resulting problems could
have been avoided in following LWQ. I do not need much besides standard
qmail because I do all the configuration within vmailmgr/omail-admin.
> Have you looked at the isoqlog log analyzer?
yes I have and it is *exactly* what I need, but if I did not misread the
docu, isoqlog uses syslog and I really would like to keep this away from
syslog. I contacted the programmer of isoqlog and asked for advice but
so far I did not get an answer (it is only a few hours ago I wrote)
thanks for your hints

Argh. You're right. I assumed it was based on multilog since syslog
sucks so bad...

You are perfectly right. But qmail and its relatives are a rather
complex building if you really try to understand every detail. So if you
do not really know 100% what you are doing and you want to take time to
learn then it seams to be a good approach to configure it like a well
designed installation which is known to work.
Now it is the first time it *might* be possible that I have to leave
some parts of LWQ. But now everyone knows exactly what my setup looks
like and I cn get the best help possible this way.

Anyway, as I did not get a response from the IsoQlog-People I ask you
one again: Can you imagine a way how to process multilog-mails with
IsoQlog (which needs Syslo-style-logs). Furthermore I likely run into
trouble because IsoQLog wants to rotate te logs on its own so I think
one would have to make sure each log-entry must only be passed once to
IsoQlog even when it gets processed several times.
Any Ideas?
Is there no ISP out that uses qmail and is interested which of his
domains uses the mailserver how much? I do not necessrily need all the
html-stuff, I just want to know in the end of the month who caused how
much traffic like this.
DOMAIN IN OUT
domain1.tld 23MB 143MB
domain2.tld 42MB 879MB
This information is in the logs, how do I get it out? I do not offer any
smtp-servives for domains not located on the server (smtp-auth,
smtp-after-pop etc.) so I should be able to get perfectly correct
stats, schouldn't I?

I installed follling exactly LWQ, I use Maildir and have the /home/user with
the 3 directories. When I send email, I don´t have any problem, the messages
arrive to the correct place in the new subdirectory. But When I try to
recive the email, in my outlook I recive no matter that I use my correct
password or not I recive anyway. When I do my test in linux it´s all right,
works. I installed checkpassword and use linux 5.1 conectiva.
This is the test:

OK, so authentication seems to be working. What happens when you issue
a "list" POP3 command?

Okay guys and gals. I see lots of utilities to convert from mailbox to
Maildir, but nothing to move from
vsm to Maildir. Has anyone written a utilitiy to do this?
Or am I going to have to do it the hard way and copy everyones vsm to
mailbox then convert it to Maildir?

Um, mailbox in /var/spool/mail (aka vsm) are in mbox (aka "mailbox")
format.

Yeah, they're out-of-date. They use inetd, for example, which will
certainly work--more or less--but is officially unsupported.

No. This shows even more the need for multiple archives and mirrors of the
contributions around qmail.
Shouldn't we build a nice structure around this?
Now everyone sits around with their own little qmail-page. If all these were
at least archivable together the qmail-world would have been a safer place.

Good thinking, Magnus. Patches, additions and related documentation, all
physically stored in one (with mirrors, of course) place in a somewhat
unified manner would be A Nice Thing Indeed. Searchable? Sure. Categorized?
Why not. Useful? Very.

I'm in.
Come to think of it, I registered a domain name for something like this a
while back. Enterprising as I am. Never got any further than that, though.

Suggestions? I don't like the appearance of web pages that have
<remote_url> [<local_copy>] everywhere. It's quite straightforward
for me to run wget on all the URL's on the web page. However, how do
we present that to users? Maybe I should have the wget robot rewrite
the web page so that only if the wget fails does a <local_copy>
URL appear. That actually wouldn't be too hard.

Thanks for the support both of you.
And I was actually not thinking of a qmail-patch-sort-of-CPAN, more of an
organized form of contributing even though it is perhaps like CPAN I really
want...
People will still make their own sites. And www.qmail.org will still be the
HUB for everything around qmail. But getting the pain of rechecking wether
Michael is there or not and keeping sleazy mirrors of peoples sites without
their consent is perhaps not the most useful solution.
What I want is probably what most of us have now, a hierarchy of patches,
links and packages for archival and reference purposes. All these things
(including the hierarchy) is collected by hand. And updated by hand.
Secondly: It would of course be nice if this expanded beyound qmail, at
least to the other djb stuff like djbdns and such.

Archives maybe, but mirrors? Just have one URL; people should be using
http caches with reasonable peers anyway.

How does that protect against the site that Russ was referring to? The
problem is that that site is out-of-date and the owner cannot be
contacted. A cache doesn't hold onto pages for six months...
A centralized, well maintained, well connected site is probably an
easier resource to use than a distributed set of randomly maintained
sites with varying levels of connectivity.

I already run a www.qmail.org and I have no problems mirroring
anything else. Just ask.
Same for ezmlm sublists (with QMTP support) for any popular list btw. Just
ask :)

I was talking about the millions of qmail.org mirrors, but in the case
of qmail-related sites elsewhere links to those sites should be
maintained, and offline copies kept if the site goes defunct.

My suggestion is to have a contrib directory structure somehow to
www.qmail.org. And/Or a neat way of mirroring other sites within the site.
It's NOT a matter of diskspace, more a matter of how it's organized. And if
it's laid out in a good way, there may be easier for folks to find and
contribute in the future.
And less silly quertions here... (no, perhaps not)

And if zeroseek comes along, that no doubt will obviate the big-todo
patch. What's left? Oh, larger concurrency. DJB has already referred to
that need in TODO.
For my money, creating interfaces that allow some of the patches to
exist as standalone programs is probably a useful strategy.

The format I am having currently enables me to convert to unix mbox format
by just appending each mail messages into a single file.
If you could tell me how to convert from unix mbox format to maildir, that

One easy way is to use mutt -- create a Maildir (e.g. ~/Maildir/) using
maildirmake, then open your mbox file with mutt. Tag all messages in it
("T.*"), then save all tagged messages to the Maildir (";s" followed by
specifying the Maildir to save in).

Syslogd is death to a medium- to high-volume qmail server. I've
seen the same thing happen. Switch to multilog.

Why use syslog when there's a more reliable, secure, efficient, and

Check your /var/adm/messages or whatever and see which line is getting
repeated often. This will help you in identifying who/which process is
sending the messages. If this is not the problem do a trace/truss on the
syslogd process and see if you get a clue

Use the - prefix in syslog.conf on mail logging facility and
it won't commit sync() after each line appended.

That will improve syslog's performance, but it won't help the
security, reliability, or functionality.

Dave,
I use qmail and at qmail the logs are generated by splogger but
at tcpserver logs are created at me by syslogd throu logger options.
I will say, that on my server tcpserver is used to control access
all available IP daemons (except Apache, sshd - this has got their
own access control systems) - telnetd, ftpd, rlogind, smtp, pop etc. etc.
On one of two servers, where works such method really syslogd sometimes
gets down :-(
Maybe I really should use multilog instead of syslogd?
How is your opinion?

OK, thanks
In my /etc/rc2.d file the rc file for tcpserver has such
syntax:
#!/bin/sh
#
# Piotr Kasztelowicz, skrypt uruchamiajacy tcpserver i sshd
#
#
sleep 1
#
if [ -f /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -a -f /etc/tcp/tcp.ftp.cdb ]; then

/usr/local/sbin/logdaemons/ftpd 2>&1 | /bin/logger -p local1.info -t ftp & echo
"starting tcpserver for ftp account"
fi
#
How change it to logs done by multilog?
I will demonstrate again(in this case is this visible too) the difference
in tcpserver syntax, about whom has nobody written - this depends
Solaris. (we have found it intuitionally). There is the syntax,
which let start tcpserver on Solaris WITHOUT "0" "ZERO" - here
is got option -x and access control's driving cdb file, IP of server,
port and location of daemon. The "zero" which is given in syntax
in all manuals don't work in Solaris! I have allready written about
them :-) on this list.

The easiest way is to replace "| /bin/logger ... ftp" with an
appropriate multilog invocation.
The "deluxe" way is run tcpserver via svscan and put the multilog
invocation in the /service/ftp/log/run script.

In my case with "0" tcpserver don't start and claims, the "0" is
unrecognized option. After removing it, works correctly (on
Solaris 2.6 and 2.7 - on 2.8 I don't aplly)

Thanks!
I'm reading up on multilog now and I appreciate the responses.
I've just gone from a dog of a server, to having hit the concurrency limit
of 256, very nice. ( I killed syslogd for now, I have to get this mailing

I want to do some processing on mails before they are delivered by qmail to
vmailmgr virtual domain. What point in delivery do I take it and what point
do I return the mail (post-processing) to vmailmgr.
Any pointers at all shall be greatly appreciated.
With best regards.
Sanjay.
I add messages to qmail's outbound queue through smtp and can, it appears,
capture the qmail message id from the 250 OK response at the end of my smtp
session. What's the best approach for tracking message activity by qmail? Do
I need to tail/parse the logfiles, of is there a .qmail file I can edit to
force the running of something I wrote when certain events occur (like
successful delivery, hard bounces, etc.).
What I've done so far (under the RTFM convention):
1. been running qmail for six months (no problems yet)
2. read the man pages
3. searched ORNL/LMES
4. looked through qmail.org
So, still looking for simple guidance. Thanks in advance.

Not really sure what some of the stuff is that you're trying to do with your
tcpserver config, but try this out:
#!/bin/bash
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -x /etc/tcpcontrol/pop-3.cdb -R 0 pop3 \
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup worldvibe.org /path_to/checkvpw \
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 2>&1
First grep /etc/services or /etc/protocols for pop, and if your pop3 line is
actually pop-3, change it at the end of line 2. then, replace path_to at the
end of line 3 with your path to checkvpw. Finally, you have to be using a
Maildir format mailbox in the home directory that checkvpw will point to.
Give all this a whirl, and let me know if it still doesn't work.

They may have bounced and hence be in the queue for redelivery at a
later date ?

I answered this yesterday. Check the list archives.

Hello,
thanx all for replying so quickly
In fact I've a "huge site" qmail configuration.
I've applied several patches like the "big todo" and "big concurrency". So
I've set concurrencyremote to 2045.
the host running qmail is acting as an internal mail relay to deliver mail
to subscribers. (no spam :) )
While watching the output of qmail-qstat I can see the queue with a lot of
messages about 200 to 500, mail unprocessed almost around 0 but I can't see
more than 20 to 50 qmail-remote processes running.
I saw one day 540 qmail-remote running. So it's possible :)
Thanx for any help
Regards
Frip'

Hello Federico,
I'm running Sun E220 and E420 with 2 and 4 processors.
I've applied the patch available on http://qmail.org/big-concurrency.patch
and my /etc/system file too.

One obvious possibility is that the messages in the queue failed
temporarily on their previous delivery attempt and qmail-send is just
waiting for their retry time to roll around.

Matthew,
I tried it out this morning. I think I have been running a line similar
to this, but I changed it to your suggestion, and hoping for the best. I am
still not getting any log in, but the mail is being saved correctly.
Attached is an excerpt from the maillog showing how the log format
differed, but that was simply caused from the recordio implementation. I
had turned it on to debug after my post to the list last night. (didn't
really help much).
I guess my main question is, with the one user that can log in, he is
actually a real user within the system, (e.g. An etc/passwd user). That one
user is also created as a a virtual user, and incoming mail is saved in his
vmail ./Maildir/new and not in his maildir within his home directory. Now
with this user having a home maildir, could this possibly cause any issues?
E.g. user structure like this
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (virtual user)
g0thic (real user)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (virtual user owner)
worldvibe (real user)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (virtual user)
When user g0thic receives mail, it gets directed to the correct virtual
maildir, as with any other virtual user, but user g0thic is the only one
able to check mail. Not only that, but when he checks mail, it checks from
his home directory maildir, and not the virtual maildir.
Any ideas to this one or the past one?
Cheers,
Sean

This question is probably intended mostly for the people on the vmailmgr list,
but anyone can help us out: is vmailmgr (specifically checkvpw) able to to
/etc/passwd auth., and, if so, can it be shut off so that only virtual auth is
done?
Sean: If /etc/passwd auth is capable, and can be shut off, do it as I'm sure(ly
hoping) the vmailmgr people will tell you how to do it. If it cannot do
/etc/passwd auth, then I'm stumped. If it can do /etc/passwd auth, but it
cannot be shut off, find a better virtual domain manager (I recommend vpopmail
from inter7.com)

Yes. It does either /etc/passwd authentication, if the domain is local,
or virtual authentication if the domain is virtual.
> can it be shut off so that only virtual auth is done?
Only by patching the source currently. On line 150 of
authenticate/checkvpw.cc, add an extra "true" paramenter to the call to
"authenticate".

I'm trying to setup tcpserv smtp and pop3 services. They appear to be
functioning as I can telnet to port 25 and 110. Some mail is not being
delivered.
/var/log/maillog says "Unable_to_open_./maildir:_is_a_directory._(#4.2.1)"
I ran makemaildir for this user and I have another user that does not have
this problem. Anyone got an idea?

You forgot the / at the end of the delivery instruction line.
"./maildir" means "deliver to an mbox called ./maildir"; "./maildir/"
means what you want.

in /var/qmail/rc, replace
qmail-start ./maildir
by
qmail-start ./maildir/
btw, normally we use ./Maildir/, not ./maildir/ ...

Hi! I'm setting up a fresh install of qmail on my new
OpenBSD 2.8 (i386) box. I'd like to use maildir, but
I'm not sure if I can. Specifically, the documentation
said that some system MUAs don't support Maildir;
since I don't even know what an MUA is, I can't tell
if my OS supports it.
For a bit more info, I tried setting it up anyway, and
my test message generated this into syslog:

Is the OS' MUA my problem, or is it something else?
/home/alex/.qmail and /home/alex/.qmail-alex both
exist, containing simply ./Maildir/.
/home/alex/Maildir also exists.
Thanks for your help.

MUA = Mail User Agent; i.e. the program you use to read mail. Mutt supports
it. Patched versions of Pine support it. I think gnus supports it.

What is the output of
`ls -ld / /home /home/alex /home/alex/Maildir /home/alex/Maildir/*` ?
The Maildir should be owned by alex, mode 0700, and contain three subdirectories
named "new", "cur", and "tmp", with similar ownership and permissions.
The program "maildirmake" that comes with qmail sets this up properly.

Hi! I'm setting up a fresh install of qmail on my
new
OpenBSD 2.8 (i386) box. I'd like to use maildir, but
I'm not
sure if I can. Specifically, the documentation
said that some system
MUAs don't support Maildir;
since I don't even know what an MUA is, I
can't tell
if my OS supports it.

setting it up anyway, and

"Mail user agent". I.e., the program you use to read your mail. It's
not especially closely related to your OS. Two MUAs I know of that
support maildirs are Mutt and Gnus.

Did you create your Maildir with maildirmake? Is it owned by the same
UID that appears in /var/qmail/users/assign or /etc/passwd for "alex"?
What are the permissions?

What I want to do is kind of a weird set up but I think it should work. I've
got a customer that wants virus scanning on there mail at the server. I have
a really nice qmail+vpopmail+qmailadmin set up that hosts mail for about 30
domains I don't want to (the hardware won't permit it either) enable virus
scanning for all that mail. So the plan I have come up with is using an old
pentium box set up qmail on that and make it the MX for the domain then get
it to virus scan all mail through it. So if it takes a while it won't effect
my other customers mail. What I want to know is how do I tell qmail to just
forward every bit of mail it gets to another mail server, but it needs to be
virus scanned first.

A suitable .qmail-default in the ~alias directory would fix that (it
catches everything that hasn't allready been matched). The file
could contain code for pushing the mails through the anti-virus software.
To redirect the mail afterwards, you could make it forward it to a domain
that has spesific routing (in smtproutes).

I'm going to use qmail-scanner and mcafee virusscan for virus scanning. So
how I think it will work is something like this:
qmail-smtpd ->
qmail-scanner ->
qmail-queue ->
qmail-send ->
qmail-rspawn ->
qmail-remote
Does qmail-scanner come in before or after qmail-queue?
So to make this work all I would need to do is put the domain in rcpthosts
and a line in smtproutes ":my.normal.mail.server"?
So that every domain I put in rcpthosts and change the MX record for will go
to this server be virus scanned then pushed on to my normal mail server.
cheers,
Bjorn

As Qmail-Scanner effectively is called instead of qmail-queue, it would be
safe to say it comes before qmail-queue :-)
That sounds like a workable solution. Future versions of Qmail-Scanner will
allow you to set what recipients are scanned - once I figure out the most
efficient way to do that :-)

1. I have another domain I need to host on my machine. Is it possible
to send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and it will forward to an email address
(external to the domain.com machine) without the email data passing
through domain.com? I don't think this is possible.
I am not sure what you mean here by, "without the email data passing through
domain.com." If your host is listed as the mail host for the domain, it will
have to handle it one way or another.
If you have an additional domain that you want to host, say, domain2.com,
you would simply add the domain to the virtualdomains control file then tell
qmail where to deposit it (see the FAQ regarding virtual domains).
But if you mean that you want your mail server to act as a relay--i.e.,
although your host is set up as the mail host in DNS, but mail is actually
to be delivered to a remote machine, you would make the virtualdomains entry
then an appropriate smtproutes entry (IIRC).

Well say you send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The mail server you're sending from will
look up the MX record for domain.com and attempt to connect. Now when you're trying to
connect to domain.com, domain.com says oh, that gets forwarded to [EMAIL PROTECTED],
so I won't take the email but send it onto [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead.
I don't think it's possible, but it is an idea so that you can use a slow connection
to route lots of mail. Instead of the mail going through that server...
Does that help at all?

Actually, domain.com *will* accept the message, i.e., it will store it
locally in its queue. Using the virtualdomains/smtproutes option I listed in
my previous email, the message will then be sent on to the remote host
automatically without requiring a valid local user part of the address or a
.qmail file.

But the data will still pass through the machine right?
What do you mean by "pass through?" What are you trying to avoid?

Title: RE: Virtual domains and forwarding.
Yes the data of the message will 'pass through' that machine. There is no way with SMTP for it to just see the RCPT TO: address and say, no I don't accept that e-mail, please send that to a different mail server.
Therefore you cannot use a slow connection to 're-route' lots of e-mail. Any SMTP connection MUST accept the full e-mail before it can re-route it elsewhere.

I've qmail running on a two machines acting as a small network.
One machine operates as a hub downloading the mail for the the
domain from my ISP. The other is more of a workstation and is
not connected permanently to the hub.
I've set up autoturn according to the instructions in the
serialmail package, although I wasn't quite sure about
replacing the /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd invocation. I used Dave
Sill's Life with Qmail, so I put the following in
/var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run
#!/bin/sh
QMAILDUID=1002
NOFILESGID=102
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 2000000 \
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -p -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c 5 \
-u $QMAILDUID -g $NOFILESGID 0 smtp sh -c '
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
cd /var/qmail/autoturn
exec setlock -nx $TCPREMOTEIP/seriallock \
maildirsmtp $TCPREMOTEIP autoturn-$TCPREMOTEIP- \
$TCPREMOTEIP AutoTURN
' 2>&1
Is this ok? If so, what now do I need to do on the workstation
side to trigger the maildirsmtp from the hub?

I'm running qmail following the instructions in Life with Qmail.
Now, I'm looking at replacing BIND with djbns. However, I'm stuck
when at the first hurdle - daemontools. I've created the /service
directory with the necessary permissions and added on one line
SV:123456:respawn:env - PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin
svscan /service </dev/null >/dev/console 2>/dev/console
into /etc/inittab. (I'm running Slackware 7.1 if this makes any
difference.)
However, having HUPped init, there's no new svscan running. I say new
because there is an svscan running the qmail programs. Can I run
two svscans, or is there a conflict there? If so, what's the
best way to reconcile the /var/qmail/supervise and /service
directories.

If they are using different directories then you can run more than one svscan.
Is init logging any errors?
Is svscan sending anything to the console?

Hi folks,
I'm setting up a high availability system, and have a question
on the way that qmail handles disk writes.
I'll be using LVS (linux virtual server) patch to the
linux kernel coupled with heartbeat/ldirector
to do load balancing and high availability on
a farm of computers which will boot off a cd-rom,
and mount their root partition via NFS.
The cluster nodes will all have internal ip addresses,
and the monitoring machines will do ip tunneling to
make these machines appear as one single machine,
serving thousands of domains.
The NFS server will be the where all the user data
is held, on a raid 1+0 disk array with ReiserFS,
apache, qmail, /home, etc... (It will be running
linux 2.2.18 or 2.4.X, kernel nfs server, lots of RAM)
My question is, is it possible to run multiple instances
of qmail, sharing the same disk structure, configuration, etc..
Basically, have each cluster node run qmail and keep
all the data on one server without encountering
inconsistencies in file locking (assuming the latest
version of knfsd does not have any locking issues).
That's plan A. Plan B is setting up a decicated mail
server, which I would like to avoid if necessary,
because it won't scale nearly as well.
Thanks in advance,

at least /var/qmail/queue/ must be local. Maildirs on NFS isn't that problem.
I won't rely on linux NFS, but thats another thing.

For first: for performance reasons one qmail machine _might_ be enough.
You also might want to look at qmail-ldap with its native clustering
support. http://www.nrg4u.com, docs at http://www.lifewithqmail.org/ldap/
You should also spend some thoughts on your OS, the *BSDs may be much better
choices for a high volume qmail server.

So let's say each cluster node was using something like
/var/qmail/queue/_NODE_IP_HERE_/ on the NFS server,
it wouldn't be a problem for the delivery or the Maildirs?
If this is the case, is there a startup option I can give
to qmail-smtpd to change it's mail queue path?
(Or a simple hack)
I've taken a quick look at the qmail-smtpd man pages,
and haven't seen anything pertaining to that particular
issue. I suppose it's hardcoded.

I just took a look at the ldap solution, and I don't think it would fit
in very well with the system I'm setting up. It looks cool but
impractical.
As for the OS issue, I've had nothing but trouble with *BSDs, and where
they have failed me, linux hasn't :( (don't want to start an OS war
here, just the facts in my scenario)
What I'm after is not really a performance boost from qmail (I'm sure
it could run as a dedicated server and perform beyond expectations),
it's more of a high availability issue. I'm planning on using
a network block device on the NFS server to do a network RAID-1
for everything that is written to the server, with heartbeat
to automatically take over if the main server fails. Coupled
with the hardware raid,journaling filesystem, and the clustered servers,
I think it would be pretty hard to bring the system completely down.
(knock on head)
I've also been trying to find some documentation on this topic,
and so far the only thing I found indicates that this is a non-issue,
since tcpserver spawns a new qmail-smtpd for each incomming request.
(an archive of some discussion list)
If so, wouldn't this indicate that there aren't any concurrency
issue with the queue?

I have a DOS command-line mailer that doesn't
correctly construct mail, it seems. I've used recordio to get exactly
what's coming from the mailer in the logs and what I see is that the mailer
doesn't include header information specified on the command line after it gets
the go ahead to send DATA, although MAIL FROM and RCPT TO are correctly
specified. The result is an email without the From or To specified in
the recipient's mailbox. Moreover, if I don't include a blank line at the
beginning of the body, there will be no body text, either. (If anybody
wants to see the output of recordio I can forward it to you, but it's pretty
long.)
Is there a fixcrio-like utility out there that
will correct this problem? Thanks.

Hello,
I am new on this list but have bin using qmail for 2 years. Now my
company desided to expand mail relaying and my task is to find good
sollution how to load-balance "qmqp" relays with nullmailer or qmail. I
tried to look in the archive and found one thread on that topic but did not
understand exactly if there is a patch for that or native capability of
qmail allow that. Please help me on that. I just want to round-robin 4
servers for now.
Thank you,
Ian Matyssik.
Hello,
I am writing to this message again. Just to confirm that the qmqp
supports round-robin natively. I was reading all about it and did not
understand. What I understood is if we keep mini-qmail on the clients and
have 4 servers for relaying, we just need to list all servers in
/var/qmail/control/qmqpservers and it will load balance them in round-robin
manner. If that is true what about if one of the relay servers goes down,
will it spoil something from the client side.
Please confirm that or give some advice,
Regards,
Ian Matyssik.

Looking for a little help... I seem to remember that in certain cases,
Exchange will retry immediately after a temporary error, generating a mail
storm. I also seem to remember that there was a URL (possibly on
microsoft.com) describing the problem.
I'm trying to make a case against using Exchange (based on the fact that it
doesn't obey standards) and this would be really helpful.
Thanks,

This is a Microsoft confirmed problem and they have a

Interestingly enough the patch mention on this page looks like it never
made it in the official "service pack"s. Although I have this URL for
about 1.5 years now.
To fix the server hosting our NT webservers we'd to pay some $200 bucks
for calling M$ hotline and it took them 3 days to mail the patch.
So much on "how to make easy money": write broken software and let them
pay for fixes.

Can that mail truly be called "Internet" mail?

I don't think anybody is running vanilla ezmlm if they have more than
one list. Ezmlm doesn't account for bounces across lists. Instead,
if a user is subscribed to N lists, ezmlm has to run through its
bounce algorithm N times.
But in any case if you want a random sample of email that crosses the
Internet, a reasonable way to do it is to randomly sample the email
that crosses the Internet.
Gee, maybe we could get that information via FOIA from the FBI's
Carnivore records? :)

I think that's lost in the noise. Look at the Unix machines that send
out millions of messages per day, e.g. colonize.com, rediffmail.com,
egroups.com, nbci.com and matchlogic.com. All of these are Unix
machines running qmail, but they all send mail to as many newbies as
experienced users.

Goodevening,
I have installed and tested qmail-mysql and have
three virtual domains. The domains recieve mail fine and I can log in and
retrieve mail fine. The problem is when I try to send mail from any of these
domains I recieve an error reply saying qmail-send will not try to resend
because the xxxx domain is not listed in the /var/qmail/control/local file. I
thought this file had to be empty if all the hosted accounts are virtual
accounts. What am I missing.
Thank You,
Marty

Hello,
Did you try to look in to your /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains and
/var/qmail/control/rcpthosts
check if those domains is in there.
It should look like this.
#cat /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts
xxxxxxxxx.com
xxxxxxxxx.net
xxxxxxxxx.org
#cat /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains
xxxxxxxx.com:xxxxxxxxxx.com
xxxxxxxx.org:xxxxxxxxxx.org
xxxxxxxx.net:xxxxxxxxxx.net
Hope that will help,
Regards,
Ian Matyssik.

Dear All!
I'm trying to use mutt as MUA and get an error msg when trying to send mail:
Error sending message, child exited 127 (Exec error.)
The original sendmail binaries have been replaced by the qmail wrapper.
cheers Dorian
Hi everybody!
Sorry, if I'm slightly OT, but I haven't found any else appropriate place
to ask my question. I am currently installing tcpserver as a full
replacement for xinetd. What I depend on, are the services, that are
considered internal by xinetd (daytime, time, echo, discard).
Unfortunately I did not find any hint in tcpserver's documentation nor any
software on freshmeat that could fulfill this service.
I would be pleased if anybody could point me in the right direction where
and what to search to solve this problem.
Thanks a lot in advance,
Mario
