Hi,
I've restarted qmail and there is something wrong:
# qmail-qstat
messages in queue: 15
messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 0
# qmHandle -l
Messages in local queue: 0
Messages in remote queue: 0
# qmail-qread
There is no message in the queue, but why qmail-qstat shows 15?
When there are more messages in queue, qmail-qstat shows more than 15, in
"messages in queue".
Thanks,
Ari

is usually attached to the fact, that qmail was not compiled to the
standard patch, ie. /var/qmail and you have the control file in the
/var/qmail/control.
See where the qmail binaries are.
Had the same problem with a qmail port to SuSE Linux.

Quite strange thing. Last time I've installed it from ports (about a month
ago), in was clean as a baby.

I'm not sure where you got that idea, sqwebmail is
developed with the Courier mail server and it
happens to support the vpopmail vchkpw authentication
program for those of us using vpopmail, then it just
reads Maildir's. Did you mean qmailadmin maybe?
That is only used for vpopmail.

sqwebmail works nice without the other stuff. I have it running with
qmail-ldap.

with qmail alone, or with vmailmgr ? I'd like to see that (especially

If you mean deny the messages altogether, give ipchains a go.

The word "spine" is, of course, an anagram of "penis". This is true in

when I try to run qmail start after installing (the lwq way)
I get a lot of errors:
multilog: fatal: unable to switch to current directory: access denied
....
so I am assuming that a log directory hasnt got the right permissions or
ownership, my /var/log/qmail directory is owned by qmaill, so could it be
something to do with my /var/qmail/supervise directories- who should own
these and what should the permissions be?
thanks

That's not sufficient. What is the output from:

Look at the chown and chmod commands in LWQ.

I have made several attempts to unsubscribe from their lists and I've
tried to contact them. It doesn't work. I don't know why and it's
not my job to know why. But I do need to stop this mail. Not getting

Subscription and unsubscription works for everyone else. Subscription
obviously worked for you, but you can't manage unsubscription. Why is
this Debian's problem?

You invited yourself to Debian's party, not the other way around.

I have a system in place that has been using vsm. I am building a newer
system that is going to be running
/Maildir/ the problem is that everything works fine for my users that are
located in /home/user
but the majority of my users are located in /home/thisdir/user
Now this dir structure is synced with another server. Users are using their
home dir for other things so I don't
want to change the format of the user directorys to /home/user/ Would take
days anyway.
How can I get this to send to and allow recieve from /home/user/Maildir when
nesecary and /home/thisdir/user/Maildir/ when needed?
I hope that makes some sense.
Thank You,
Dale

It's automatic. qmail uses $HOME/Maildir, so it'll use whatever home
directory is specified in /etc/passwd for each user.

I was not aware of that. I've not been subscribed to the qmail
list for about a year due to the high amount of email in the list.
Could you fill me in on the consensus? I mean, I want the qmail
port to be as helpful as possible. What are the major complains?
I am checking the archives and it seems that the installation
problem had nothing to do with the port.
However, I see there seems to be some issues with the port.
I would like sugestions on what could be done to
improve it? Please constructive ones. :)
The port as it stands follows the INSTALL instructions
shipped with the original tarball source almost to the letter.

The problem is that those instructions are way outdated. That's DJB's
fault, of course. A modern qmail installation uses daemontools and
tcpserver instead of syslog and inetd.

Hi. I was having the same problem on my linux system and the -R option
didn't seem to help. What fixed it was adding the -l localhostname argument
which helps qmail resolve the local host name which I think is what's taking
the longest. Actually, when it was happening on my system, it would take
about 2 minutes to send an email, but then it would work fine for 10 minutes
because the hostname resolution was cached. After 10 minutes, it would go
back to the same issue.

Just curious, how to make a nobody account that all emails sent to that
address will be automatically redirected to /dev/null ?
I want to make an account to forward emails from doublebounce, so I won't get
junk mails because a person's mail bounce and the bounce is bounced.
Thanks

Just put '#' in the appropriate .qmail file (~alias/.qmail-nobody perhaps).

Doublebounces might contain useful information. You might not want to
throw them away without at least glancing at them.

I recently setup Bruce Guenter's Qmail (qmail-1.03+patches-18.src.rpm). For
every email, I am getting a email addressed to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". I
understand what this is for, but I can't seem to find a way to turn it off.
I have deleted .qmail-msglog from /etc/qmail/aliases but am having no luck.
Is it possible to turn it off? If I can't use this current install and I
have to reinstall Qmail, what is the best way to backup the queues so the
new installation will handle the rest of the deliveries?

By default, his source RPM also installs ~alias/.qmail-msglog, which contains
only comments, and so the extra delivery is discarded.

Why can't you use it as is? If its the extra load due to queuing the msglog
copies, rebuild the RPM without that option -- you'll have to disable
QUEUE_EXTRA and QUEUE_EXTRALEN in the qmail sources by removing that patch
from the RPM.

If you are intending to use multilog with slapd as you do with qmail
then you will need to make sure that it logs it's output to stdout. In
addition, you will need to ensure that slapd doesn't fork/background or
supervise will not be able to ``manage'' it. But, I guess this is kind
of off topic. :-)

Hi all,
Would this be valid in control/badmailfrom; @*.cn ?
If not, is there an equivalent ? I've seen enough spam from those little
guys.

Not with an unmodified qmail version. There exist addons to support
wildcard matching ... www.qmail.org should list some.

I doubt that woul really help. Most SPAM I see is relayed through
*.cn servers but badmailfrom only goes for envelope senders (which
mostly always have no *.cn addresses).
You may try plugging rblsmtpd in
http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp/rblsmtpd.html
from the ucspi-tcp package at
http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp.html
and set RBLSMTPD for *.cn netblocks using tcpservers rules (-x flag).

Stress is when you wake up screaming and you realize you haven't fallen
asleep yet.
Before I even ask this question, let me say that the intent is not to start
a flame war about packaging, or about Linux distros, or anything else for
that matter.
I read an article last week that was a comparison of all of the major Linux
distros. The usual stuff, installation, features, ease of use. One of the
categories was MTA. It was said in this comparison that Redhat Linux 7
Deluxe Workstation comes with Sendmail, Qmail, and Postfix.
I know that Redhat 7 comes with Sendmail installed by default. Postfix is
on the Powertools CD. I see no mention anywhere though about Qmail.
Has anyone else heard anything about Qmail being packaged with Redhat? Or
was this just a typo as I suspect?
Thanks.
Aaron
This is news to me. I've got the Red Hat 7 Deluxe Workstation CD's (yes I
paid) and I swear I didn't see qmail on them. If I had a single RPM to
install qmail with, life would have been much easier these past few weeks.
rpm -Uvh qmail-thewholeshebang-1.03-memphis-i386.rpm

There are no files named '*qmail*' anywhere in the RedHat 7 RPMS directory.
If they're installing it, they're doing it stealthily.

Would this happen to by Linux Magazine? Ahh yes, just flipped to it.
Hmmm... they made a number of mistakes on there. They claimed
Linux-Mandrake came with qmail as well as sendmail and smail, but
failed to mention that the default MTA is postfix.
I don't think it was a typo... I think it was a complete and utter
lack of research on thier part.
I've emailed them in regards to (a few) problems with their summary
for Linux-Mandrake... you may want to do the same (perhaps, one can
hope, they will actually do more than read the back of a box and make
some fictious assumptions the next time they attempt to do one of
these comparisons).

I have a situation which leaves me (I think) caught between

We have qmail running on a firewall box and forwarding
to the corporate exchange server...
We have users from one domain:
aimtv.com which we use smtproutes to forward directly
to a virus scan box... all the email addresses in the aimtv
domain match those found on the forwarding domain, so
smtproutes is appropriate.
I'd like all our domains to be that way, but each domain that
the virus scan box checks needs extra licensing ($$)...
so, we have another domain, corp.rocketcash.com...
some email addresses are [EMAIL PROTECTED]
the mail comes in and I use a .qmail file to forward these to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
future new addresses will be along the line of
[EMAIL PROTECTED] which will forward
to the equivalent on corp.netzero.net....
is there a way to catch all those future addresses and forward them to
@corp.netzero.net w/o using smtproutes and without creating a separate
.qmail for each new employee? would a catchall .qmail
file be able to do that? i don't see how. it makes sense to use smtproutes
but i cannot from what i can see.
any suggestions?
Thanks,

I asked something _similar_ last week. But it's not exactly the same.
See Chris Johnson's answer to "translating or remapping domains to another
domain", 2001/01/29
My situation was I wanted:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
to go to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
No changes to the username portion.
The answer to my situation (thanks to Chris) :
echo 'corp.rocketcash.com' >> /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts
echo 'corp.rocketcash.com:alias-rocketcash' >>
/var/qmail/control/virtualdomains
echo '| forward "$DEFAULT"@corp.netzero.net' > \
/var/qmail/alias/.qmail-rocketcash-default
But my understanding of your situation is:
Outside - > firewall -> MSX with AV -> Internal mailservers
u@aimtv -> u@aimtv -> u@aimtv
f@rocketcash -> fipl@netzero -> fipl@netzero
And now you also want
fipl@rocketcash -> fipl@netzero -> fipl@netzero
Looks possible but may require some modification - depends how you do the
firstname to longname thing.
Cheerio,

I'm trying to setup
Qmail as an email server that My local clients can login to, read and reply to
email without downloading it (IMAP?). I setup qmail+tcpserver+daemon tools via
the docs I found on www.linuxdoc.org. But
even "adding" a user didn't seem to work. I can't authenticate to it.
Can someone point me
in the right direction on how to set this up. I can't seem to find any concise
documentation on setting up an email server like this.
One other note is I
believe I'm close. Qmail does send out email if I login to the box itself and
use the mail command. I can specify any email address/domain I want and qmail
does correctly deliver it.
I want to be able to
connect to the server from a windoze machine with outlook express and read and
reply to email.
My next step is I do
want to get POP3 working on there. Do I use qpop3d?
Thanks!
Robert
I am
having problems getting an RPM from the .src.rpm, though. I do a rpm --rebuild
filename and instead of giving me an RPM in the /usr/src/redhat/.../RPMS
directory I get code that looks like it needs to be compiled. This is not what I
expected to happen and I can't figure out what to do from here. I don't see
instructions on how to install it (at least ones that I understand).
I want
to get IMAP working, too. Let me rephrase that, I NEED to get it working. I have
spent literally 30 hours in 4 days just reading the documentation and trying to
get things working. At one point I had POP3 up and working fine with Qmail but
then found out IMAP was needed and decided to start over. So this is both a post
to help you, I think that site contains the crown jewel, but I don't know how to
install it! Perhaps someone can help both of us...

I managed to get relaying working fine. The remote clients are able to
send mail, but when their client program (mostly Outlook Express) tries
to send a read receipt, the receipts get rejected.
Any suggestions?

Hi folks,
I'm working on a qmail install that requires a rather long and very specific
list of IP ranges from which to allow relaying. Is there a way to build
tcprules entries using CIDR notation?
For example:
206.217.93.0/25:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
If not, how would you specify this? Better yet, how would you specify a
much larger CIDR block like:
38.29.0.0/16:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""

man tcprules
ADDRESS RANGES
tcprules treats 1.2.3.37-53:ins as an abbreviation for the
rules 1.2.3.37:ins, 1.2.3.38:ins, and so on up through
1.2.3.53:ins. Similarly, 10.2-3.:ins is an abbreviation
for 10.2.:ins and 10.3.:ins.
Has any encountered this problem? I've noticed some Microsoft MUA users
send attachments with the mime-type ms-tnef. When I receive the file via
my qmail setup, it is unable to convert the attachment accordingly, and I
end up with a file in the form like message.dat
I have some tools to convert it, but I'm looking for more of an 'automated'
solution, meaning for it to be converted as qmail receives it. It seems to
be a MS problem, and I don't seem to find a patch or whatever to fix
Any assistance, please? Thanks in advance.

any suggestion is welcome!

This is possibly an evil idea, but anyway:
Either patch qmail-queue.c or qmail-smtpd.c (depending on what you want
to achieve). In the later case try adding something like this to the
end of blast():
{
char corrupted[]="This message has been changed on";
qmail_put(&qqt,corrupted,sizeof(corrupted)-1);
qmail_put(&qqt,greeting.s,greeting.len);
qmail_put(&qqt,"\n",1);
}

Firstly, I highly recommend that you follow the procedure outlined in
Life with Qmail, found at http://www.lifewithqmail.org/ -- it really
does represent the best standardized method of setting up qmail for new
users (I assume that you're a new user, or you'd know why your logs are
going to STDOUT instead of some sort of logging mechanism. I'm guessing
here that /var/qmail/rc contains something like:
exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \
qmail-start ./Mailbox
Either follow $QMAIL_SRC/INSTALL.* to the letter, and use syslog and
splogger, or go forth and read LWQ, and save your processor power by
using multilog.....

Hi
I have come across a weird problem with qmail.
When mail is received from one particular source and
we try and pick it up with Outlook 2000 it hangs -
displaying for example, "receiving message 1 of 10".
Investigation reveals that /Maildir/new is empty and
Maildir/cur has all 10 messages, the first message
(the one that caused Outlook 2000 to hang) has a
format "date.pid.host.filename:2,S" (the suffix :2,S
not on any other mail).
Checking mail again with Outlook 2000 still hangs
thus no mail is able to be picked up.
When the first message (with the :2,S suffix)is
manually moved to /Maildir/tmp all remaining messages
in /Maildir/cur are successfully picked up by Outlook
2000.
I would be grateful if anyone can suggest what is
going on and hopefully provide a solution?
Thanks very much!
George

Hello everyone,
I have to send a daily
newsletter to 60.000 e-mail addresses that are stored in a MySQL
database. The newsletter is the same
for everybody and the process of composing and sending it will be started from a
PHP web app.
I have several
doubts:
1- Should I use mail()
function from PHP, invoke qmail directly or create a mailing list with
ezmlm?
2- If I don't log the
sending of the newsletter will it increase the speed or just free
CPU?
3- What side effects
have to set concurrencyremote to high values like 300?
4- Is it necessary to
use a higher value in tcpserver's -c option if I use mail()
function?
5- Could I set up a
second qmail instalation for just sending the newsletter so it doesn't slow the
"normal users" mail?
Thanks in advance,
Paco
