It's a bug in Outlook. In fact, it's one of many -- there are a lot of
different problems that can cause Outlook to hang. One is if a retrieved
message has no Subject: header, which is perfectly legal. There are many
others, so I cannot tell you which particular bug you are encountering at
this time.
Fix Outlook, and everything will work fine.

Sounds good so far.

ezmlm is a particularly nice way to go, because of its completely automatic
bounce handling.
If you don't want to do that, write a little script to pull the recipients
out of the database and inject using /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue. You'll
need to read the man page for qmail-queue to figure out how it wants to
be called.

This won't buy you a lot, providing your qmail installation is logging with
multilog. And not logging the sending of 60,000 messages is not a bright
thing to do for a mail administrator.

tcpserver doesn't affect outgoing mail at all.

Yes, you could. It will still have some effect, though, because they will
be sharing I/O bandwidth on the queue and log disks, and on the network.

Can anyone give me a idea why I am getting this message. I can send mail
to my personal account fine
anytime I try to send to another user on the system I get this error.
delivery 9: deferral: Unable_to_chdir_to_maildir._(#4.2.1)/
I ran the maildirmake on the user.. the maildir is there and has the proper
ownership.
But no matter what I try I get the same error....
Suggestions????? Please

Well, something isn't right. Post the output of `qmail-showctl`, along with
the output of the following for the user that doesn't work:
`ls -ld ~USER ~USER/Maildir ~USER/Maildir/*`

Have installed amavis with the fsav anti virus engine...works great. But
would like to install this on a server with alot of virtual domains, and
what im looking for is the possibility to specify which of the domains i
want to scan for. ( Due to the heavy load of scanning all of them, and
because we are going to give this as a service for those who want it, and
some dont)
But i find this very difficult since amavis replaces the qmail-local and
qmail-remote.. no option with other words. Have heard that some people have
made this work in some way.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Regards

If you really want to make spammers waste their time and bandwidth (and
you have got bandwidth to waste yourself), you should pretend to accept
their junk and discard it. And of course, you should also fool their scans
testing whether the mail server acts as an open relay or not by sending a
real short message (making the difference between early and late refusal
irrelevant from their pov).

Hey there guys!
I have a quick question about this one line in my logs, that shows up
for every message:
to local [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I think I know what msglog does, but where do I turn it off? I have
looked in my /etc/qmail/alias/.qmail-msglog file, however this is the
out-put:
# This alias control file is processed on EVERY SINGLE message.
# ***THINK*** before you do this as it can put extra load on your system.
#
# Several things can be done here:
# 1. Record EVERY single message in a mailbox file.
# *** ARE YOU SURE YOU ***REALLY*** WANT TO RECORD EVERY SINGLE
MESSAGE!!!???
# EXAMPLE:
#./msglog
#
# 2. Record Message-IDs for later tracking.
# EXAMPLE:
#| awk '/^$/ { exit } /^[mM][eE][sS][sS][aA][gG][eE]-/ { print }'
If you notice, it is all commented out. I thought that the msglog item
would not even show in the logs, unless this file was in use? I guess I was
wrong.

This was asked on the mailing list within the last three days. Look in the
archives (you can find a link to searchable archives from www.qmail.org).
In short, this is a feature of Bruce Guenter's SRPM. If you don't like
the extra (null) delivery by default, you'll need to modify the SPEC file
and rebuild the binary RPM, then reinstall from that.

Read `man patch` (and probably `man diff`). If you're not familiar with how
to apply patches to software source code, you may not want to use modifications
which change qmail's behaviour. It may make it more difficult to diagnose
problems from the existing documentation.

This has nothing to do with Qmail or any other SMTP server. This is yet
another cr*p M$ "feature".
I have had people here sending Emails with Outlook Professional to Outlook
Express users - and the latter complaining about "corrupt" messages and
those weird message.dat attachments.
Even M$ products don't talk to each other...

Ok,
I'm happy to report I found a solution to the note I sent out last week.
The problem was not that the file in mess was not going away quick enough,
but that the file was not being created quick enough;-) That is, the
file in mess grows as the data comes off the net and the message is built.
But - if the email is large enough, and the rate of data transfer is slow
enough, the file appears to be sitting there for a while. In our case,
the message was of large size, and was being delivered to our server from
a client over a slow/dialup link... In all cases, when the transfer was
complete, the message was delivered quickly enough and without error.
I had failed to note the size changes in earlier checks, and had never
timed the log entry of delivery to the file growth/ereaseure.

our new qmail install is started simply by
exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \
qmail-start ./Maildir splogger qmail&
however I've noticed a lot of people using daemontools and supervise.
What are the primary advantages of using supervise?
Our mail server probably handles less than 2000 messges a day is it
something I really need to do?
Is there a good document that points to how to correctly configure supervise
to start/run/manage qmail?
Thanks for your help.

If qmail (or any supervised process) abnormally dies, supervise will
automatically start it back up.

My personal thoughts:
1. multilog. multilog uses a lot less overhead than syslog, and does
not listen on the network, and so is not vulnerable to remote DoS or
exploit. It's self-rotating (configurable), and uses a super-accurate
timestamp (although the timestamp is not _that_ relevant to me
personally).
2. Unification with other djb-ware, especially djbdns. Personally, I'd
just love it if sshd could log to STDOUT, and that way most of my hosts
would use supervise for _all_ the important processes. ;)
3. Simple process control. Downing all supervised processes is as simple
as 'svc -d /service/*/log ; svc -d /service/*'. Gotta like that.

Need? No. But well worth it IMHO.

Just snag and modify the /var/qmail/supervise directory structure and
'run' scripts.

Among those already mentioned: reliability. You *can't* reliably
manage a service without cooperation from the parent process or the
process itself. Putting the management functionality into the process
itself results in unnecessary duplication; putting it in the parent
results in supervise.
An example of the kind of unreliability you get without supervise:
suppose you want to send a service a signal. How do you find the pid?
ps? Command names are not a perfect indicator; multiple instances
complicate the problem. A pid file? It might be out of date: the
process might have died since the pid file was written, and the pid
might have been reused. But a parent can always keep track of its
children; supervise never sends signals to the wrong process.

Michael,
Haven't yet seen a response, so I'll write one. :)
You can do this fairly easily by setting up the following:
virtualdomains:
corp.rocketcash.com:alias-corp_rocketcash_com/
Then, you'll need to 'mkdir ~alias/.qmail-corp_rocketcash_com'
Inside that directory, you'll want to create a file called '-default'
(this can be tricky, as most programs see - as a switch delimiter. You
will probably need to specify the file as ./-default while in that
directory.) Inside this file, place the line:
|forward ${DEFAULT}@corp.netzero.net
The above file acts as a .qmail-default for that domain, forwarding
anything not already specified to the same [EMAIL PROTECTED]
You can now create specific user files in the same directory to override
this behaviour.
Say you wanted [EMAIL PROTECTED] to forward to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] You would create a file called -jamin in the
~alias/.qmail-corp_rocketcash_com directory, and inside it place:
&jbrown@@corp.netzero.net
Hope this makes sense to you.

Hey all
I have a queuing question for everyone. We have our server set to relay if
the message comes from a user with an IP address in our list of acceptable
IP addresses. We have the tcp.smtp database set up correctly as far as we
can see, but yet, when we start up qmail, it just queues up mail. It
doesn't reject any mail, it just stores it up in the queue, and doesn't
deliver it. Any ideas as to what we may have set up incorrectly?
Thanks
Brendan
Hi all,
I am running qmail-1.03+patches-12 on a RH6.2 system and have suddenly
began to have a problem with the qmailadmin page. I can't seem to login as
postmaster to either of the domains I administer. I am using the same
password that I use with postmaster to check the mail which works
fine. The error I keep getting is "Invalid Login." I was also wondering if
there was a log file that I could look at that would tell me what the
reason is that I keep getting this error.
Thanks in advance,
David Litke

For everyones benefit, having spent the better part of a day
trying to find out why my QMAIL installation was not working, only
reporting the dreaded "CNAME_lookup_failed_temporarily._(#4.4.3)"
error, turns out the 'real' problem was permissions on /etc/resolv.conf
was too restrictive:
# ls -l /etc/resolv.conf
-r--r----- 1 root other 93 Feb 6 15:40 /etc/resolv.conf
Changing that to a world readable file caused the errors to go away.
Note: all other SOLARIS tools (ping, nslookup, sendmail, telnet, ftp, etc...)
worked fine..

They did not resolve names themselves. They asked nscd to do it. Running
under root, nscd did not have any problem with world unreadable
resolv.conf.

Perhaps I have my DNS settings botched, but lately I have noticed a delay in
qmail's response when sending mail from my LAN. If I telnet to it, it can
take up to 30 seconds or longer before I get the greeting. Once I do get the
greeting, or make the connection, subsequent responses are perfectly fine. It
seems that only after a period of inactivity will this happen. I don't think
this problem is present for others sending mail in from the Internet. My LAN
IP's are not stored in any DNS server that qmail knows of, but they are on
/etc/hosts.
Any ideas?
Hi Michael. I posted this message a couple of days ago.
There is also a very good article that talks about using "split DNS" for
your internal network, which would help your linux box resolve the incoming
clients.
You can find it at http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue45/tag/11.html
I really recommend it.
Good luck.

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.

Joinhands Hosting Agreement for the 2001 yearI am having a problem with mail
from other servers not being delivered to my server. I can use qmail-inject
to send mail to my users and I can send mail from an account on the same
server, I just can't get mail from a another host.
any ideas? Clean Redhat 7.0 install with all the latest qmail and vpopmail.
I have followed the instructions to the letter 4 times and I can't seem to

You've got a couple of problems. One is that innsandcottages.com has a CNAME
record pointing at dns1.innsandcottages.com. If you do that, unexpected things
will happen. Give it an A record or, preferably, an MX record.
Second is that dns1.innsandcottages.com resolves to 207.194.2.101, which isn't
the same address that ws1.joinhands.com resolves to (207.194.2.103). There's
nothing listening on the SMTP port of 207.194.2.101, though there is on
207.194.2.103.
Fix your DNS, wait for the old records to time out, and then you should be in
good shape.
Thanks for providing real domain names. It makes it a lot easier (and in this
case possible) to answer questions.

Well, usually the log files will tell you what's going on... what do
they say?

Default delivery is to .Mailbox? Is that what the instructions really
say? Are you over-riding this with per-user .qmail files? If not, you
have a mismatch between your delivery type and the pop server as:
> exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin" \
> tcpserver -H -R 0 pop-3 \
> /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup mail.innsandcottages.com \
> /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir &
The qmail pop server only reads Maildirs - it knows nothing about
.Mailbox
You may find that your logs are showing delivery, but you're maybe
expecting the mail to be delivered into a Maildir and it's not?
Regards.

i add these codes in the end of qmail-smtpd.c.but it won't work.
can't you tell me how can i do it!
(by the way, i don't know how to patch the qmail-queue.c or qmail-smtpd.c.only add
these code into blast?)
Ok, about 2 months ago i switched IP address on a computer running
qmail. Since that time the server has had problems with SMTP being
sluggish. To this point i have changed the /etc/resolve.conf and the
DNS to the correct settings. When trying to connect to the remote
box via the telnet command to port 25 it connects within seconds but,
the banner does not appear for a good 40 seconds. This has lead to
problems with outlook timing out when sending messages. When trying
to rebuild qmail, ./config reports errors about not being able to
find the canonical name in DNS. But it does resolve from all boxes
including localy. I have also tryed to use the -F option, but this
does not seem to be making the problem go away. Is this a problem
with BIND or with Qmail or a combination of both? I have been trying
to figure this problem out for some time on my own with no luck. If
you wish, i can provide more information on the box if needed.

Hi,
I setup once a qmail box and forgot to set the sticky bit (chmod +t) on the
qmail-send and qmail-smtpd directories (in /var/qmail/supervise) so
supervise was outputing everything to console.
I actually liked that very much (if server is physically restricted) but
there is one draw back; nothing will be logged to log/current.
Therefore, I wandered if there is a way to have supervise log to both
console and to qmail-send/log and/or qmail-smtpd/log.
Any ideas?

Someone knows why I get fatal: data 451 qq write error or disk full

It comes after different Message Counts when sending via SMTP.
I think there is an Error in that qmail-smtpd. Any Solutions ?
