I really hope that you hungry open source implementators out there
has seen that the works RFC3028, Sieve: A Mail Filtering Language
has hit the RFC stores.

        http://rfc3028.x42.com/

Now we really want a flexible open source implementation of this language
to be nicely plugged into qmail, qmail-ldap etc. 

 
/magnus - also waiting for RFC# 2822, 2821 (to hit RFC stores)
          to replace the old 822 and 821.

qmail never delivers as or to root. You should never read mail as root.
Forward mails to root to another account, just touch an empty
~alias/.qmail-root, alias will catch the mails, or put the name of another
account in there.

Hello,

Anyone know of a webmail solution for the following setup:

- qmail (smtp and pop3)
- courier-imap
- vmailmgr or vpopmail

I need something that doesn't require a full-featured http server (e.g.
Apache) to be installed on the mail server (my mail server and web server
are 2 different machines).  Either the webmail "program" connects to my mail
server or it provides its own small http server.

I've seen Neomail and oMail but they require that both http and mail server
be on the same box.  I could probably put up a cgi that does this but I'd
rather not reinvent the wheel if there already is one.


TIA,

M. Yu







What about using a simple http server that has cgi-bin support, such as
thttpd?

I have a problem.
The host of qmail is mail.ndsoftware.net and i create a pop account
antivirus.

Why when a send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with my account
[EMAIL PROTECTED] in Outlook or The Bat!, i receveid this message in
double ?

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Help me please !

Hello,

I have been thought for a long time of setting up msa-auth server using
qmail.

The idea is simple. Several hosts with no relay, and one host with
qmail-msa.

The client MUA sends smtp-auth:

login: login%other.server.com
pass: pop3passfromthatserver

Qmail-smtpd checks via pop3 or imap that password on other.server.com;
accepts mail for relay if it is proper. It is very good idea for big
networks, setting up such a centralised server.

A Zmailer solution, made by Artur Urbanowicz (see
http://www.zmailer.org/mhalist/1999/msg00605.html) is introduced for
example at http://msa.lublin.pl/ in LubMAN network, Poland. But I have
decided to set up qmail solution.

I wrote checkpassword replacement which invokes fetchmail -c (idea is
the same). It requires /etc/remotehosts file with domains and hosts
allowed to authorize.

For example:

# coments start with hash, allowed hosts or domains are colon delimited
:host1.domain.com:
:.host2.com:

Complete code is available at http://www.liap.eu.org/checkremote/

I have been tested it with Mrs.Brisby qmail-smtp-auth patch, and it
works fine. But qmail-smtpd patched like that is very slow, even with
original checkpassword.

If you have any suggestion or bug reports please send it to me. And an
ask for qmail.org webmasters -is my code good enough to add info about
my program to qmail website?

Regards,

I can't talk for FreeBSD, but on OpenBSD we are having a hidden concurrency
limit of 125. I haven't looked for an explanation why - could anybody give
me a pointer?

Nope. A typical SMTP conversation takes 10 seconds, QMTP is _ways_ faster.

Add -DFD_SETSIZE=4096 to conf-cc and everything is happy.

Our two pop/smtpservers have concurrencylocal and remote both set to
1024, and have been seen reaching either.

That might not be their issue. With high traffic, qmail-send spends so
much time handling todo/ that is doesn't even consider actually
delivering anything.

We use 1024 for both local and remote. This is because we are afraid
to run out of memory because of all the processes if we allow even
more :)

They have a very good point on the page 'Getting bigger: High-capacity
forwarding', btw. I ran into the same problem, that qmail requires
double delivery for simple forwards. I 'fixed' this by turning as many
forwards as possible (all were from virtual domains to the local
domain) into a virtualdomains-entry and a users-assign entry. Works
wonderfully, and increases performance by over 100%.

Every forward means another todo/ entry, which means qmail-send will
stop delivering for a moment. That sucks for performance.

Greetz, Peter.

I look at the stats from three qmail servers every day.  Our average time
for an SMTP delivery is very close to two seconds; QMTP is about one second,
for the same types of mail.  Perhaps our mail traffic isn't typical, or perhaps
yours isn't.

This value isn't from my servers, it came up somewhere in the discussion
aboout a modified qmail-remote (the patch available by Russel now). It was
eizther from another poster ot from Dan himself in his QMTP desription
(http://cr.yp.to/proto/qmtp.txt), if I remember correct it was the latter.

That jibes with my first test -- qmtp seems to be about twice as fast
as smtp.

To all of the sarcastic "geniuses" on this list I'm using lotus notes, via a web interface at the moment, and I CAN NOT (READ THAT AS A BIG DIFFERENCE THEN DON"T KNOW HOW) look at any header information.  I don't appreciate other insulting my intelligence without knowing half the facts.  I apologize to everyone else on the list, who has to endure all of this mail traffic, but there are a select bunch on this listserver who choose to act like five-year-olds.

Dear Bernie,
you could at the very least download your mail.nsf file, open
it through your local Notes client (windows version can be
downloaded for a free 90-day trial on Lotus web site, and can
even be run with wine, for un*x users), and have full access
to the headers.
I'm pretty sure everybody on the qmail list is very proud to help
you that much in your learning of email basics.
Best regards

The reason you are taking a beating from members of this list is that you call yourself a sys admin, yet you act ignorant and rude.
 
Ignorance and rudeness on this, or I would guess ANY list will result in a flame 100% of the time.
 
How about instead of all of this time wasted whining to the list (which is pointless, since we certainly can't read your mail headers to you), you configure an MUA that DOES let you view the header info so that you know what to send in to unsubscribe?

It's not a bug in qmail.  It's a bug in vpopmail.  I believe that a later
version of vpopmail fixed the bug.

Patching qmail in this instance is inappropriate.

With spam, this is unlikely to help -- the envelope sender address is most
commonly forged to point at (someone else's) legitimate domain.  Sending a
bounce message will just end up going to some poor mail administrator who
is busy dealing with thousands of other people's bounces.

The only way that this might get you off a spammer's list is if your SMTP
server returned a permananent failure code during the initial SMTP
conversation -- and even then it won't help if the message has come through
a relay -- i.e., this will only help with direct-to-MX spamming.

In the previous episode (26.01.2001), Brian Longwe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
said:

>If I knew how to write perl I probably wouldn't be asking....thanks for
the tip anyway

here is an idea (not necessarily guru-approved but maybe worth a thought):
a ~/.qmail file catches every mail for the user and sends the mail to a
shell script:


#~/.qmail
./filter

#/var/qmail/alias/.qmail-devnul
#

#~/.qmail-real
./Maildir/

#!/bin/bash
#~/filter
cat > /tmp/to$RECIPIENT.txt
if [ "$(grep 'Subject: whatever' /tmp/to$RECIPIENT.txt)" = "Subject:
whatever" ]
then
        cat "/tmp/to$RECIPIENT.txt" | qmail-inject devnul
else
        cat "/tmp/to$RECIPIENT.txt" | qmail-inject $USER-real
fi
rm -f /tmp/to$RECIPIENT.txt



/var/qmail/alias/.qmail-devnul will delete every mail sent to devnul

and you could add further commands to the "then" part, like
qmail-inject -a [EMAIL PROTECTED] $SENDER < your.readymade.reply
in order to inform the sender ...

i enjoyed experimenting to make this, hope it helps :)

Hi all,
    I've got a question about softlimit, I'll use generic numbers, etc. since
it's not service specific:
 
I want softlimit to limit a tcpserver process.  Let's assume that I set tcpserver
to answer up to 10 concurrent connections for a service that takes up a meg
of ram for each connection.  So if I reach my maximum of 10 connections, I'll
have 10 megs of ram in use.  Do I need to set softlimit to 10 megs plus a
little for tcpserver or something else?
 
Thanks,
 
Dave

No. The limits are inherited on a per-process basis. If you want each
smtp server to consume a maximum of 1MB of memory, set your softlimit
to 1MB.

Which part of qmail? For qmail-remote, you need a patch if you don't want it
using the default host (it will only bind to localhost if that's the only
host available, IIRC). For qmail-smtpd, you can specify that through
tcpserver. No other part should be sensitive to address.

Hi.

I wish to move the email server from one machine to antoher (Both have the
same ver of qmail).

What is the best way?  Just copy /home/vpopmail to the new box?

Regards, Alan Lee





I'm extremely happy with qmail and the other software available from
DJB, but I've yet to hear anything about an IMAP server that takes
security into consideration. I'm running Courier-IMAP right now, but I
haven't actually opened the port to the world yet because I'm not
confident in it's security (since I can't seem to find any docs on it
that mention the word). 

Any recommendations on this subject?

Why would you be more confident in an IMAP daemon from DJB? (No offense 
DJB).  Why are you not confident in it's security?  While courier-imap 
isn't coded in the same style that DJB uses, I do believe that it has 
been built with security in mind.  Having said that, I cannot say for 
certain that it *is* indeed secure merely because I have not seen a 
security audit on the code, but I do believe for the most part it is 
secure.  For more on it's security I believe there is a document called 
SECURITY in the code tree somewhere which discusses it's approach to 
security---you might have a look at that.

The only security document I could find in the source tarball for
courier-0.30.0 has this note:

   This document discloses security-oriented issues regarding the
   SqWebMail CGI application.

However, the web pages make references to Courier's security model.

The writers of Courier are a pedantic bunch.  They reject mail with 8-bit
info in the headers and will not send mail to places with "improperly
configured MX records".

I'd like to set the record straight. I am not on a crusade against qmail.
More the contrary, I find that it is a great MTA. However it has its own set
of quirks that I grew more and more uncomfortable with as time passed. At
this time, I use it along with other MTAs to get what I want done. And when
it comes to select an MTA, I base my choice on my knowledge of the
alternatives, it may or may not be qmail for a given task.

As Sam mentioned, sometimes interacting with qmail is *very* frustrating.
But this is the same with any piece of software that exists. The key is to
use it the way it works best.



Regarding the 0.0.0.0 issue and all of that I guess that people are split
between calling it a bug or not. Well does it really matter ? Can the patch
for this issue be integrated in qmail and the issue die off ? It seems to me
that it would be more important to not have the undesirable side effect than
to argue endlessly on what to call it.



I would also like to add a note on qmail and security. This piece of code
was created with security in mind and it fulfills this goal really well
apparently(1). Security requirements are somewhat changing these days and
restricting it to mean "root-exploit" feels a bit outdated now. But again,
when you look at the overall picture, qmail succeeded where so many MTAs
still fail miserably today. The fact that people are arguing about an issue
that could eventually lead to a DOS more than 2 years after qmail was
released speaks for itself: DJB did a really good job with qmail.


(1) I use apparently, because it would be futile to say that it will never
ever fail. It is very very very unlikely but is it impossible ? I think that
if DJB thought that "impossible" is the answer, he would not have bothered
with setting up a contest in the first place. He put is money behind his
work and never had to pay up. Draw your own conclusion.



Finally, to put my quote more in context, what I meant is that people who
are not happy with free software do not have to stick with it. This does not
say that qmail is inapropriate or bad or anything like that. As for my
choices, I am the only person responsible for them.



Patrick.

I should add that if I offended anybody with my comments, I hope that they
will accept my appologies.

Hello again there guys,

    I have one final question before my qmail installation becomes truly
"installed".  I am getting this error below from 'qmail-send'.

@400000003a74201f3a196f9c starting delivery 96: msg 299022 to local

I have installed (and it is working mind you) vmailmgr, omail,
qmail+patches, and relay-ctrl-2.5.

    Virtual users are working 100% correctly using vmailmgr.  What I seem to
be having a problem with is mail delivery with local users.

you want this to be "./Maildir/", not "./Maildir", assuming you actually
want to deliver to a maildir-style layout.  check how you're starting
qmail and make sure that / is on the end of the "Maildir" string.

Tc,

That worked like a charm..  I have one more question for the list and
yourself (if anyone is able to answer it).

My local mailbox is now receiving mail properly.  In fact, everything is
working exactly as expected, save for pop-3 on local mailboxes.

When a virtual user checks mail, and there is mail in their maildir,
everything works just great!  when the local user checks their mail, the
connection is made without error, but it will always come back that there is
no new mail.

It makes no sense to me.

There was recently some talk on this list about about patching ipme.c to add 
0.0.0.0 to qmail's list of known local addresses.. and the original poster 
supplied a patch. However, the patch was only _part_ of a bigger patch.. 
leaving those of us that aren't familiar with qmail's code in the dark.

So.. my question is, could someone please post a complete patch to work 
around this issue? Or at least a URL to their patch? 


Thanks.

Try this patch. Use with your own risk.
And don't forget to say thank to Scott Gifford @ tir.com.

Here's a patch that implements my recommendation.  Note that for
reasons discussed in my earlier messages, this isn't the patch that we
actually use in production machines, so I can't guarantee it won't
break anything, but it looks like an obvious fix.  Still, I would test
it on a development machine first.

You can verify that this patch has worked by running "ipmeprint" after
applying it.  0.0.0.0 should be printed out first, followed by all of
your IP addresses, each on their own line.

If anybody can report success or failure with this patch, I'd
appreciate it.

I'll put it up on my Web page and post the URL when I can.

Adi's patch is actually not correct.  It adds "0.0.0.0" *instead of*
your other interfaces, instead of *in addition to* your other
interfaces.

ipmeprint shows this.  Here's qmail's normal ipme:

    [sgifford@sghome qmail-1.03]$ ./ipmeprint 
    127.0.0.1
    10.0.0.8

here it is with Adi's patch:

    [sgifford@sghome qmail-1.03-adi]$ ./ipmeprint 
    0.0.0.0
    0.0.0.0

and here it is with the patch I just posted:

    [sgifford@sghome qmail-1.03-sg]$ ./ipmeprint 
    0.0.0.0
    127.0.0.1
    10.0.0.8

Thanks for taking a stab at it, though, Adi!  :)

Yep, that patch looks fine; mine's pretty much the same, but puts the
IP address first instead of last, and uses byte_copy instead of
ip_scan to fill in the ix structure.

Hi all...

I seem to be having a problem with my daemon tools install ?
I keep getting these errors...


supervise: fatal : unable to acquire log/supervise/lock: temporary failure.
supervise: fatal : unable to acquire qmail-smtp/supervise/lock: temporary
failure.


The error keeps repeating.

Suggestions ?

Dennis





This is just for a bit of fun...if you're not interested in this
posting (in all your lack of humour), please add it to your killfile
or equivalent.

Does anyone here have any funny recollections of people sending
postings that were meant to go to someone totally unrelated to the
mailing list, to a mailing list? (ie list-serv)? Just curious, thought
it might give a few people a bit of a laugh :)

Later...

Hi together

I've got a PIII 1400 Mhz Server with 384 Mb SDRAM, the qmail is installed with 
supervise-mode. Now the problem is, the supervise need the whole time 4% of the 
processor-capacity. Can you explain me, is that normal??

THX for your inspirations.
