I have a Qmail server that runs on a network of Windows PC's, all on
10.0.0.* and masqueraded behind a Linux router box that serves everything on
a single public IP address. This linux router portforwards ports 25 and 110
on the external IP to the internal Qmail box.
I don't currently have DNS working (properly) on the internal network, and
the windows PC's all find each other by NetBIOS broadcasts..
So (the Qmail bit) If I want Qmail to accept incoming SMTP connections from
any of the 'inside' Windows PC's, do I have to add 10.0.0. to /etc/tcp.smtp
(as detailed in LWQ/Chris Johnson's document)? I am not in the office so I
can't currently test it, and I don't want to have to talk a user through
doing it ;-)
I have external relaying working fine from my own 'at home' IP address.
Cheers

you should have 10.0.0. in /etc/tcp.smtp regardless of whether dns works or not. also,
until you get dns working for the internal computers, you can either:
1. set up the netbios portion of samba on the qmail box.
2. set up a wins server (if you have a spare NT server)
3. add 'mail.whatever.domain qmail.internal.ip.address' to c:\windows\hosts (plain
text) either manually, with a batch file or as part of a logon script for the client
machines.

Stupid question but I'll ask it anyway...
I have an email account setup as "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
If I want to alias "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" do I just
add a .qmail-john to the users ~homedir ?
Dennis
Dennis,
You have to create a file .qmail-john in the "alias" account (usually
/var/qmail/alias/)
with the following line:
&[EMAIL PROTECTED]
This is a very simple question, read some docummentation to learn more.

In the email program, you enter
mail.yourdomain.com or
yourdomain.com
as the POP3/Incoming Email setting to retrieve emails. I am trying to
find a way to get that setting in order to break up the password file
better, allowing the same "pop username" (ie: webmaster) across
multiple domains.
Thanks.

David mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

You can find out what IP they're connecting to, and what name you have
assigned as a reverse to that IP in your own DNS. Nothing more.

Hi all,
I currently have my system setup so that roaming users can use smtp after
POP3 to relay through the mail server.
We would also like to allow roaming IMAP server to use the server for
relaying. Does anyone have a small program/script that I can slot into
couriertcpd that will update smtpd's tcpserver access file after a
successful IMAP login?
Thanks in advance,
Gavin

Bruce Guenter's relay-ctrl can do exactly this, for POP3 and Courier IMAP.

Instead of such kludges, why not implement ESMTP AUTH instead? There are
patches available via www.qmail.org that allow this. That way your users can
relay mail independently of the order (i.e. they can even relay Email
without checking via POP/IMAP first).
Naturally, the Courier SMTP server natively supports AUTH (and STARTTLS for
that matter)
AUTH kicks ass ;-)

Hi all:
First of all, thanks to all those who responded to my question
regarding "System crash". Time to upgrade the Linux kernel, I guess...
I have now another problem, related this time with serialmail and the
old topic of messages-addressed-to-several-users-sent-separately. I have
recently installed AutoTURN for a customer that was using sendmail in
their local Linux proxy/mail server until now, and whose connection to
us is an ISDN dial-up line. Things are working OK so far... except that
these customer's users need to send often large attachments (1-5 Mb.),
each of them to several people. Given qmail's way of dealing with
multi-recipient mails, this means that my customer's messages are taking
longer to reach me.
I am aware of the causes behind this design decision taken in qmail,
and I know that this subject has been beaten to death in this list; what
I haven't seen yet, though, is a solution to this particular case I'm
talking about. I've been in this list, on and off, for about two years,
and I have seen the issue discussed several times, but have never seen a
solution for this particular case (customer on a dialup line, sending
large mails to several people). Has anyone come up with a way to deal
with this situation? Or is this one of the cases where other MTAs could
actually have done a better job?

This is almost certainly due to DNS problems or ident lookups timing out. You
should look into the -R, -H, and -l (that's an ell) options to tcpserver. And
check the list archives; this question comes up at least a couple of times a
week.

The -F option to what? What is it supposed to do?
Chris
Is there any reason that qmail does this? I use inet now, I must have been
confused with the -R because I thought you would put that in with the inet
config for qmail. Is the only solution to switch to tcpserver? What kind
of conversion from Inet is there?

qmail-smtpd doesn't do anything but talk SMTP and queue mail. If there are DNS
lookups going on or ident requests being made, qmail-smtpd has nothing to do
with it; whatever process listens to the network and executes qmail-smtpd for
SMTP connections does the DNS-looking-up and ident-requesting. In your case
this is inetd, and how you keep inetd from doing this I have no idea. You could
also track down the DNS problem that's causing this and fix it.

tcpserver works better, and will be much better supported by this mailing list.
http://www.lifewithqmail.org covers setting up qmail-smtpd with tcpserver very
nicely. It's also covered in the FAQ:

Hi...!
I have very much difficulties compiling qmail-1.03.
This is it: I ran the "make setup check" and it generates an error
message on the "qmail-local.c" saying that there is no definition
of the "timestruct_t" in the "stat.h" file.
I am using the SCO development system.
Please share with us ALL the information you could possibly have on
hand on "How to" compile qmail under SCO Open Server 5.05
Thank you guys.

well, i'm actually only cursed with one last 5.0.2 system without
any working development system, but ...
1. please quote the full error message. "timestruct_t" doesn't
sound familiar, and i suspect you meant "struct times" or
something like that, and stat.h is really sys/stat.h, i think.
2. don't try it at all. Judging from past experiences: this will
not be the last error message you'll see, and if you manage
to compile it at all you'll never get a stable mail system
of SCO 5.x anyway.
3. try including time.h or sys/time.h in qmail-local.c, just
before the inclusion of stat.h. If i remember correctly.
4. move to OpenBSD or Linux.

I'm with Uwe on this front. My experiences with qmail/tcpserver on SCO
(sorry don't know the exact version now) were anything but fun. When
you finally compile it, you'll want to search the archives for SCO - I
vaguely recall posting something on this regarding the need for
tcpserver -o.

Are you actually starting qmail? It might be that you're only starting
qmail-smtpd, and therefore mail is accepted from the network and deposited
into the queue, but since the main qmail process isn't running, nothing
gets delivered from the queue.
Your main qmail logs will, in any case, show you why mail is or is not being
delivered.

Hi
If anyone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. I
would like qmail to relay for a user if he/she comes from an allowable IP
address and/or from an allowable domain. Right now the server is only
allowing relaying for people within allowable IP ranges and from one
specific domain. Would I need the whole list of domains we host along with
their users corresponding ip address ranges in the tcp.smtp and
relaymailfrom files?
i would like to set relaying up based almost exclusively on ip address
ranges, with the exception of allowing relaying from one particular domain.
ideas?
thanks

Define "from one particular domain." What exactly does it mean for someone to
be "from" a domain?

Hi all,
I have a succesfully working Qmail with about 6 user accounts using Maildir
and SMTP/POP3 access. This works fine for 'internal' e-mails.
At the moment all our external mail (*@domain.com) is delivered to our
externally managed web+database server where it is manually grabbed by
clients using POP3. Certain e-mail addresses (eg. [EMAIL PROTECTED]) are
forwarded on to our own personal e-mail accounts. This is because we only
have one POP3 account and our provider is very hesitant to add any more.
Obviously this system isn't ideal, especially as we have to keep getting
external POP3 accounts as we add more users!
I have set up a central Qmail server which is connected via an ADSL
connection on 'office.domain.com' - currently there are no MX records for
it, but I will add them. I was thinking of two ways of getting around this
problem and I would appreciate some advice on which is best.
1 - Forward all user mails to *@office.domain.com and have Qmail deliver
them to each user - but, our ADSL connection is a bit unreliable, and
sometimes the server will be 'off the internet' for an hour or so - could
this be a problem with the lack of a secondary etc.? Or could our webserver
be the secondary?
or 2- Have the Qmail server manually fetch the e-mails via POP3 at set
intervals.
How would I do option 2 with Qmail? Or have I got things completely wrong?
Cheers
John

Hi,
after setting up a qmail server I would like to stress test it a little bit
to see how many mails the server could handle and to fine tune the
parameters.
At the moment everything is set to default values as on initial setup.
Any ideas/suggestions?
Are there some testing skripts available for such a purpose?
Thx.

Hello

ok, on my Solaris, the qmail distribution is "forking" almost 10 to 20
processes per second.
This cost a lot in system ressources and system calls
So I'm trying to work on a threaded qmail-rspawn to avoid so many forks

PC, I can fork and exec 200 shared processes per second, and almost 300
staticly-linked processes per second.
> So I'm trying to work on a threaded qmail-rspawn to avoid so many forks
I'd be willing to bet it doesn't buy you enough to make it worth the
effort on most modern UNIX-type OSs. It's also a rather large task, as
the existing code likely relies heavily on globals.

Not all Unices are created equal...
Linux is extremely good at forking (in fact so good that it's threads
implementation is a special-case fork), whereas others are better at threads.
If you look at where Apache is going (OS-specific optimizations to squeeze
the best out of each platform), it would certainly make sense to do a
threads version for some of the slower Unices...
...or simpler yet - stop using them... :-)

Hello
I'm using Solaris 7 E220/420 systems. I didn't say that my system can't
fork. I just said that it wastes a lot with all this forks. I have a high
volume server and I need to send over 1 million mails in few hours. So I'm
trying to find the best way to achieve this.
I've already built a qmail with 15 qmail-queues to have the best rate.
Regards

Do you really have an extra line break between each line of this script? If
so, there's your problem. Remove the extra line breaks, or at least just
the ones after "exec", and you should be alright.

This merely calls another script, /var/qmail/rc. You'll have to check the
contents of that script to find where the error is. Incidentally, it looks
like you have an extra line-break here too, though in this case it's not
hurting anything.

Yes, at the end of the blast function.
Note: if you don't know how to do that then please look for an
experienced C programmer. You'll most possibly want to change the
text, and doing that correctly isn't a task for a C beginner.
You'll want to add this to qmail-smtpd.c if you want to attach
a text to all messages coming in through SMTP. If you want to
do that to really all messages, even messages generated on your
system, then i'd change qmail-queue.c (somewhere in the middle
of the main function). In that case you'll possibly end up needing
some more changes to make sure that the text is added only once
(a single mail might pass through qmail-remote many times).
In any case i think that you possibly should talk to a lawyer. You
should do that in case you corrupt some message i send to someone
on or behind your system, that someone tells me about it and i'm
in bad mood.
What do you want to achieve?

change /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-send/log/run to include
exit 2>/dev/console
and change to multilog invocation in the same script from
multilog \

I'd like to run supervise, but i would prefer the logging still take place
in /var/log/maillog.
I've read over the examples on lifewithqmail.org and
http://matt.simerson.net/computing/qmail.toaster.shtml, but each use
multilog.
If anyone has a startup script, for qmail they would like to share (or just
advice) that would be great.
For example, could i just leave my /var/qmail/rc file as is and omit the
portions regarding multilog in the qmail startup scripts give in the
examples above?
Here's my qmail/rc
exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \
qmail-start ./Maildir splogger qmail&

Hrm. Wrong list.

Is it possible/adviseable to run a Qmail server to authenticate all relay
SMTP traffic so that we can leave the relay open but not allow spammers
access? I have Qmail running with Courier IMAP server, my problem is that we
have some users with laptops who travel and use different ISPs out of the
office and would not be able to get email through out SMTP server. To ask
them to change settings may be too much. I have thought of setting up 2
Outlook profiles for them with different outgoing mail servers, but I am
hoping there is a way to allow their traffic through via a username and
password combo.
Thanks

I reccomend the POP before SMTP authentication
http://inter7.com/vpopmail/
If you are making vpopmail for roaming users to be able to relay
through your smtp server after the authenticate with pop do:
$ su
# ./configure --enable-roaming-users=y
# make
# make install-strip
I hope that helps

I got exactly the same problem, the only thing i could do for now is
to give them a webmail frontend but most people are very used to sending

anyone here know any way this can be done? i use qmail on solaris,

I too use the above. It works well and most MUA's have to option to 'check mail

Too bad it doesn't work with IMAP. :(

What is the proper format for the tcp.smtp file in regards to multiple class
c networks. For example
209.168.128-143.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
Is this correct for all the networks between 209.168.128.* and 209.168.143.*
or do we need to have individual entries as follows:
216.168.128.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
216.168.129.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
etc.
etc.

Yes, this is correct. See http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp/tcprules.html
It would be helpful if, when you want to post a message that's unrelated to any
existing thread, you didn't reply to an unrelated message in an existing thread
and then just change the subject. It causes your message to be attached to a
thread it has nothing to do with, and increases the chances of its not being
seen.

This seems to be consistent with
http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp/tcprules.html in the ``Address ranges''
section:
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.
So, it looks like you can do entire CIDR blocks by specifying a range.
There is no need for individual entries.

I'm pretty positive the latest ver of OpenSSH does this. There was
something
on the list recently about it. I think I'm using a patch provided during
that thread though. (OpenSSH_2.3.0p1)
/service/sshd/run:
#!/bin/sh

exec env - tcpserver -H -R -v -p -l0 -c10 0 ssh \

I thought you could just do:
svc -d /service/* /service/*/log
I think the actual processes should go down first so you don't lose any
log
info.
You can also restart everything in the same way with the -t flag. I use
that a lot.
I currently have about 13 things running out of /service via svscan.
It's a great
util. I even have portsentry and courier-imap running using it.

This off-topic here but you can get a patch here:
http://storm.sst.com.br/openssh-2.3.0p1-daemontools.diff
I made that patch using routines already in the code. All that it do is
insert a new toggle (-t) that enables inetd mode (daemon doesn't fork to
background) and enables stderr logging. The CVS version of sshd.c
implements a -D switch meaning "don't fork to background" but it lacks
support to stderr logging. I'm using it like this:
root@storm:~> cd /service/sshd
root@storm:/service/sshd> cat run
#!/bin/sh
exec 2>&1
exec softlimit -d300000 tcpserver -vDRHl0 -x tcp.cdb 0 ssh /usr/sbin/sshd
-t
root@storm:/service/sshd> cd log
root@storm:/service/sshd/log> cat run
#!/bin/sh
exec setuidgid log multilog t ./main
root@storm:/service/sshd/log>
Here is a sample of main/current:
@400000003a7ef9772ed9a124 tcpserver: status: 1/40

Hi all,
I'm stuck with a problem. I'm trying to run qmail on multiple
machines, with the maildirs and the binaries on one NFS server.
Basically all that's local under /var/qmail is control, queue and
supervise all the rest is common to all machines.
My problem is re-creating the queue something seems to go wrong. I took a
virgin queue directory and copied it to the NFS server so I could
replicate it at a later point. The named pipe 'trigger' in the 'lock'
directory I removed and recreate on each local machine and chowm it back
to qmails.
This all seems to run the system looks ok, only messages aren't delivered
until qmail is stopped and restarted, any further messages after that are
held until you stop and restart again.
I have a feeling it may be to do with the lock directory, but I can't be
sure. Anyone done this succesfully?
Herbie
We run the configs and the binaries on a filer, delivering to a different
mount point. The way that we did it (Because we didn't start off in this
configuration) was to build qmail, mount the source directory on each box,
do a make setup check and then to mount the binaries and configs in the
appropriate place (So the queue structure was created by doing the make
setup check).
HIH,
Laurence

I don't need local delivery - nada... We are trying to get 25 mailings

255 in conf-spawn
255 in concurrencyremote
I also applied these patches:

conf-split should be prime. I don't think you know what conf-split
means. Higher is not always better.

Greetz, Peter.
I don't do enough e-mail work to know if this is a dumb question
or not. Please indulge me.
I am doing some work for a small company which will remain nameless
for this discussion.
We have a RedHat Linux box which we are currently using as an
e-mail server. Local PC boxes use POP and SMTP to see their
mail on the linux box. The linux box connects to the world
via UUCP for outgoing mail and also via fetchmail for some incoming
pop mail.
We would like to replace UUCP with SMTP. Our ISP uses Windows 2000
as their mail server and apparantly that requires SMTP AUTH to
send things out. This is a new wrinkle for me. Questions:
Can I use just one SMTP AUTH 'account' to send out all outgoing mail?
What add-ons do I need to get qmail to work with SMTP AUTH? (Note:
I am currently using sendmail, and I am exploring changing to qmail,
this may be a good issue to drive the change.)
Any other hints, suggestions, advice gratefully accepted.

Why not send all mails directly to the traget mailservers instead of
relaying through your ISP?

Hi,
Does anyone can tell me, how can I make virtual POP e-mails? I didn't find
any information about this. I have server, running Slackware 7.1 Linux and
qmail 1.03 as smtp server. My friend asked me to host his website on my
server, so I made him name based hosting in Apache, but now he wants also to
have e-mail @hisdomain.com. I added his domain name to
/var/qmail/control/rcptdomains, and his e-mail is now
[EMAIL PROTECTED] But it's not enough for him: he want to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] , etc.. I don't want to create so many accounts on my
system.. (he need up to 40 or 50 e-mail addresses)..
thanks.

Hi,
I saw a bounce message today (edited to protect the innocent):
<user@domain>:
172.31.255.254 failed after I sent the message.
Remote host said: 554 Filtered out by Filter 0 because "Received" =
"from unknown (HELO ?192.168.0.1?) (192.168.0.1)"
The client, for whome I was to relay, provided HELO approximately as:
HELO [192.168.0.1]
Which was indeed filtered to be "HELO ?192.168.0.1?" by qmail into the
Received header.
I was not able to find the document listing what contraints (if any) are
placed on the string following a "with" such as HELO in the Received
header line, however the RFC822 definition of <atom> does allow for '['
and ']'.
I wish to find a tactful argument, rather than simply pointing out the
lunacy of the destination's UCE filtering techniques.

Hi all...
Anyone use pam_smb for authenticating users ?
Question, is it possible to setup a users account automatically, as per
qmail_ldap, when using pam_smb ? How can I interact with pam_smb to make it
setup the user if he/she authenticates via our NT server ?

i think there is no necessary to go to a lawer!

Hi, below is a message I sent to the qmail list last year. I was never
able to resolve it so I just dropped it after a while. However I
decided to pick it back up tonight and try to figure out what is wrong.
Fwiw, I am no longer using splogger, but am piping the recordio/smtpd
output through awk and then through multilog.
Anyway after hours of experimentation I have discovered a few things.
Consider the following command line:
/usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 4000000 /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -x
/usr/local/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -R -u 71 -g 1013 0 25
/usr/local/bin/recordio /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1 | awk '{print}'
1) if I use "awk" (which is really just a link to "mawk") on my Debian
box, I get no output whatsoever;
2) using "awk" (nawk) on my OpenBSD 2.8 box I get the same results as #3
below;
3) if I use "gawk" then the output appears normal (i.e., as I would
expect it) but if I pipe it to multilog, splogger, or whatever, nothing
shows up in the respective logs.
Now, that is all very confusing. So, I started to take bits out of the
command line to see if I could figure out what was screwing up the
output. It turns out that if I remove tcpserver from the command and
interact with qmail-smtpd directly (i.e., NOT thru the network) then
everything is happy with respect to output and logging:
/usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 4000000 /usr/local/bin/recordio
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1 | awk '{print}'
With that command line, I can log through multilog and splogger
successfully, and, I can customize my awk statement to filter the output
(after swapping stdout and stderr descriptors around... recordio puts
its output on stderr).
Anyway, I am not 100% certain of why this doesn't work when I do the
same thing over the network via tcpserver. Does it have anything to do
with tcpserver throwing away stderr perhaps? I looked in the docs and
don't see any hints as to what it does with stderr (I suppose it's
implied that it just goes to the terminal it was started from?).
How can I make this whole thing work with tcpserver, and allow me to
filter the output with awk? (Fwiw, I tried using grep and sed in awk's
place and the same thing happened... I don't understand why "cat" works,
I think there is something fundamental I am not comprehending here.)
Thanks much for any help!
P.S. If anyone understands why gawk produces output but mawk does not,
I'd be happy to learn about this too. ;-)
