Yes! Many of us will have encountered this functionality in similar
tools such as Autosys and Control-M - and it is functionality that
would be worth having.

plus:
- including the ability to restart at any job once a problem has been fixed.
- conditional execution depending upon the result of a previous job.
- maximum number of simulataneous jobs on a system, or across systems.

(and the ability to have user interfaces sat atop, to indicate how far
a batch-run has got.)

Unix-88 said that this sort of non-vendor provided stuff should go in
/opt/{vendor}/, but SunOS 4.1.x chose not to do that and few others do
even now.  (SunOS 4's HIER(7) suggested /usr/local/ was for "locally
maintained software", and /var/ was "directory of files that tend to
grow or vary in size". The BSD4.4-derived OS's go further and suggest
that /var/ should be solely transient stuff)

Nowadays, I'm tending to build things self contained in
/opt/{product}/ and symlink appropriate things into /usr/local/*/.

For qmail on Solaris, I've been going for:
        /opt/qmail/
                alias/
                bin/
                boot/
                control/
                doc/
                log -> var/log/qmail
                man/
                queue -> var/queue
                sbin/
                supervise/
                users/
                var -> /var/qmail
        /var/qmail/queue/
        /var/log/qmail/
        /usr/local/man/*/* -> /opt/qmail/man/*/*   (to aid use of man)

(as I consider my qmail configurations and binaries non-transient!)

supervise/ is a tricky one though - some bits in there are
configuration and some bits are transient status info. How would
supervise cope if the .../{process}/supervise/ subdirectories were 
symlinks into /var/run/supervise/ ?

(control/ should arguably be in /etc/opt/qmail/..., as should alias/.)

Dan's right that it's a mess, for sure.

Nowhere. We have exactly two (2) init scripts, /etc/rc and /etc/rc.local

/usr/sbin/apachectl, but thats irrelevant as apache is NOT started or
stopped or whatever by apachectl, apachectl in OpenBSD is just a helper
program for the sysadmin, not for the system.

maybe inadequate wasn't the right word, bit it doesn't fit in BSd philosophy.

svc -d /service/qmail-* and co. In general you are looking up PIDs and send
them signals in BSD-world, not calling complex scripts. svscan/supervise
fits good in BSD world as these are simple approaches working very very fine.

How do you start Apache if not "apachectl start"?

"Complex scripts"? You think think the LWQ qmail script is complex?
Give me a break! It's freakin' trivial.

Let's look at simplicity and complexity... Let's compare your way and
my way for some simple qmail administration tasks:

Task            BSD                                     LWQ

start           PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin               qmail start
                svscan /service &

stop            svc -d /service/qmail-*                 qmail stop
                svc -d /service/qmail-*/log

restart         svc -d /service/qmail-*                 qmail restart
                svc -d /service/qmail-*/log
                PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
                svscan /service &

rebuild cdb     tcprules /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb \            qmail cdb
                  /etc/tcp.smtp.tmp < /etc/tcp.smtp

check queue     qmail-qstat                             qmail queue
                qmail-qread

hup             fire up web browser                     qmail hup
                go to http://cr.yp.to
                find daemontools docs
                look up svc
                locate HUP option
                svc -h /service/qmail-send

The last example is facetious, of course, but illustrative of the fact
that not everyone wants to memorize all of svc's options. And when you
need to act fast, do you really want to have to research what to do
first? What if cr.yp.to's down? What if your net link is down? Do you
really have a local copy of the daemontools docs? Is it current?

That's pretty sad, but it's a symptom of the gratuitous
incompatibilities that DJB rails against. And these are due to 20
different OS packagers each doing things their own way and demanding
that developers accomodate their whims.

The LWQ qmail script works the same on all platforms. Can't BSD be
just a little flexible and allow cross-platform compatibility?

The script itself is everything but trivial. 
One Example why it is bad: you are storing svscans PID (via $!) in
/var/run/svscan.pid und use this PID for killing svscan later. What if the
admin has killed and started svscan in other ways before "qmail stop"? Given
your favorite server prog has this PID when you issue "qmail stop"? You are
killing the wrong program. Starting svscan at boottime and never stop it is
the much cleaner way and fits well in BSD philosophy. And, btw, works as
well on Linux.

no.
                  svc -t /service/qmail-*
multilog needs no restart usually.
your example is worng, you'd have two svscans running if you do so.

no. I'm familiar with svc as everbody running anything under svscan should
be, so it is simply

svc -h /service/qmail-send

And you forgot "reschedule queue",
                 svc -a /service/qmail-send               qmail alrm (?)

svscan is the way to cross-platform compatibility.

qmail's approach is that you look in the message that you have. As
someone else has pointed out - it's in the Received: headers...

...which is great, except when you don't have the message because
you're trying to analyse it passing through your system.

Markus Stumpf has been working on some improved qmail-smtpd logging.

Hello


I am writing an auto-responder in Perl. I have been looking for the ones
publicly available, but I was wondering to what address I have to
respond to, namely:

Do you need to look for Reply-To: first and if that header is
unavailable look for From:? Or has qmail a mechanism for itself to
determine it (I think their is nothing useful in $ENV[].

Leander

I take it that you are not the one that installed qmail on this system.
There's a thousand ways to start/stop qmail.  

You don't have a svc command, so it's probably not running under svscan.
If it's installed with a SysV-like startup script, try
    /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail stop
or
    /etc/init.d/qmail stop
or possibly (some Lwq installs):
    /usr/local/bin/qmail stop

If none of those work, see if you have /var/qmail/bin/rc -- that tells you
how qmail starts, and perhaps then you'll know how to stop it.

But were you trying to send the message to the same address(es) his

Is it possible that this bounce is actually coming froma machine one hop

Hi,
I have qmail on RedHat5.1.
I can receive mail from almost every server in Internet ( 
for example www.yahoo.com),
but there are some servers I cant receive from. They make 
connection which timeouts. Here is the logged session:

hello all

using qmail-1.03 daemontools .70 and ucspi-88 on several RH 6.2 based
servers.

It appears that all logging is being dumped to the first virtual console:

info msg 224981: bytes 32957 from <#@[]> qp 9474 uid 0
starting delivery 1692: msg 224981 to local [EMAIL PROTECTED]
status: local 1/10 remote 0/20
delivery 1692: success: did_1+0+0/
status: local 0/10 remote 0/20
end msg 224981
new msg 224981
info msg 224981: bytes 3235 from

starting delivery 1693: msg 224981 to local [EMAIL PROTECTED]
status: local 1/10 remote 0/20
delivery 1693: success: did_1+0+0/
status: local 0/10 remote 0/20
end msg 224981

even though I have log/run set up EXACTLY as in the supervise man page.
Is this a supervise/multilog bug?  anyone getting qmail to log deliveries
to multilog using log/run ?

Any advise would be helpful.

Did you set the sticky bit on your qmail service directory?

Including the sticky bit on the on the qmail-send directory?

No.

Of course.

>Any advise would be helpful.

Provide more useful information than 'I set it up right and it doesn't
work'. For example, the output of:

  cd [supervise directory]
  ls -lR
  cat */run */log/run

I have

drwxr-xr-x   4 root     root         4096 Feb 21 01:40 service

and under that

drwxr-xr-x   4 root     root         4096 Feb 21 01:40 .
drwxr-xr-x  13 root     qmail        4096 Feb 20 23:20 ..
drwxr-sr-x   5 root     root         4096 Feb 21 01:11 qmail
drwxr-sr-x   5 root     root         4096 Feb 21 01:35 qmail-smtpd

Since the manual (man chmod) or the qmail-conf program docs didn't allude
to it... what is the 'sticky bit'?

chmod +t the directory. (Are you sure man chmod doesn't refer to this?)

From http://cr.yp.to/daemontools/svscan.html:

"If a subdirectory sub is sticky, svscan starts a pair of supervise processes,
one for sub, one for sub/log, with a pipe between them. svscan needs two free
descriptors for each pipe."

Hmm. Solaris manpage talks about it as does FreeBSD - you must be on
Linux, right? In octal it is 1000 or symbolically, +t. Thus:

chmod +t /service/qmail

Tried that...


but it will not fire off a copy of multilog:

Assuminmg you're running this all via svscan, the problem is that
svscan only notices the +t flag when it first sees the directory in
/service.

You need to remove the service and re-add it. I believe the
daemontools page at cr.yp.to has the sequence needed to do this.

Is there a specific kernel setting I need for supervise to log
correctly??? I am on kernel 2.4.1.... it's working fine on a RH 6.2
machine with 2.2.17 (using djbdns).

The sticky bit seemed to have no effect.. and nothing is being logged
error-wise.

For debugging purposes you might want to run svscan manually so the
errors go to the screen/window you're on.

Not unless it's some wierd Unix. svscan writes errors to stderr. You
don't need kernel settings to control where that goes.

Did you restart svscan?

Did you check the system console?

Hi,

Im trying to get tcpserver to work with my simple
program written in C. However, Im getting unexpected
results. My programm on execution is supposed to print
a welcome message to stdout, then read text from stdin
, then writes into stdout again. The source code looks
something like this.
...
printf("Welcome! Enter your name\n");
scanf("%s",name);
printf("Hello %s",name);
...

I use tcpserver to execute that program when there is
a connection to localhost on port 123 , like so
tcpserver 127.0.0.1 123 programname

however when i try telneting to 127.0.0.1 123
I dont get any "Welcome message" from my program.
upon telneting the programm is waiting for me to input
something... When I enter somthing , only then do I
get
the  "Welcome..." then "Hello ".
------------------------------------------
bash-2.04$ telnet 127.0.0.1 555
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
Escape character is '^]'.
Bob
Welcome! Enter your name:
Hello Bob                
------------------------------------------
It does the input first, and then all the output in
one shot!

Any ideas why that is happening or how to get it to
work???

You posted this same question yesterday.  Someone replied to your question,
giving you the answer.  You appear to have not read it.  Go back and read
the response you got -- look at the list archives if you have to.

If you don't like the answer you received for some reason, tell us why --
don't just repost your question.  That just annoys people, and gets you
nowhere.

Hi,

I am not shure if I posted this question correctly, I am 
repeting my self, sorry.

I am using qmail1.03 with tcpserver.
I can receive mail from almost all sites in the net ( for 
example yahoo.com), but there are few that cannot send mail 
to me ( for example the usa.net servers). They establish a 
connection but seize data transmition and qmail timeouts. 
Here is the session log:

This could be an issue with SMTP line endings -- the particular remote sites
which are having problems sending to you may be violating the spec by
not sending \r\n, particularly at the end of the DATA phase.

Use recordio with qmail-smtpd to record an example of the faulty session.
If the resulting log doesn't mean anything to you, post it here.
See djb's site and www.qmail.org for info on how to set up and use recordio.

It might be that suidperl and qmail-scanner...pl are not suid (4755) or that 
you're not giving enough memory so qmail can start perl. Take a look at your 
softlimit. It must be about 4 times the value specified in LWQ

I have installed qmail 1.03. My problem is local deliveries are very slow.
Also on my mail servers most the mails are meant for local domains.
Is there any way that I can make qmail-queue directly dispatch the mail
to the user's maildir without queueing.
 
my .qmail-default contains the following line
| /var/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox
Any help on this will help me a lot
 
Regards Manny

No. qmail-queue doesn't have the needed privileges.

Such a system would also have no good way of dealing with deferrals
and partially-failed deliveries (multiple .qmail lines).

Hi all,

        I know that databyte <n> will limit the size of outbound mail
from qmail-smtpd to <n> bytes, but which file does it go into in
/var/qmail/control?

On a unrelated note, I use cyclog to rotate my log files, can I
add a -size parameter to increase the size of the log file, before
it is closed, and a new one is opened?

-Bill

Doesn't it only restrict the size of received (incoming) mail?  The
file you're looking for is /var/qmail/control/databytes, and it should
contain only the integer number.

Can't comment on cyclog; it's been too long since I used it.  With multilog,
it would just be adding "s<size>" to the commandline.

Just put the number of bytes in /var/qmail/control/databytes. The
keyword 'databyte' is not used anywhere.

Greetz, Peter.





David,

Thanks for the tip about the locals file. That seems to have done the trick
for stopping the local deliveries.

I have another problem now during testing.

I have configured the new qmail server (qmail.our_lan.com) to respond as
though it is our existing mail server (externalmail.com) by making
defaultdomain, me, and rcpthosts contain "externalmail.com". The rcpthosts
also contains "our_lan.com" so that it will accept mail from the internal
servers for relaying.

In order to test that the fastforward aliases I have set-up actually work,
I am telnetting into the qmail server on port 25 and manually creating a
message as described in the TEST.receive file. I can not just send mail
from an external account as the real mail server would grab the message.

For testing purposes only, I want to tell qmail *not* to query the DNS. I
want it to accept that the local machine is externalmail.com, instead of
resolving to the real externalmail.com.

I have read in the tcpserver man page that it is apparently possible to
tell qmail to ignore the DNS and use the parameters provided, but this does
not seem to be working for me. My /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run file
looks like this:

#!/bin/sh
QMAILDUID=`/usr/xpg4/bin/id -u qmaild`
NOFILESGID=`/usr/xpg4/bin/id -g qmaild`
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 2000000 \
        /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -H -l externalmail.com \
        -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb \
        -u "$QMAILDUID" -g "$NOFILESGID" \
         0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1

Mail is still getting sent to the existing mail server at externalmail.com.

I have tried adding "externalmail.com:[192.168.2.52]" (which is the IP of
the qmail server) to smtproutes, but this just causes a loop.

I have created ~alias/.qmail-default containing "|
/var/qmail/bin/fastforward -d /etc/aliases.cdb" but qmail never seems to
get to that point.

I have even changed ~control/defaultdelivery to "|
/var/qmail/bin/fastforward -d /etc/aliases.cdb" in the hopes that it would
help, but it hasn't.

I'm sure that I am missing something, but I can not figure out what. I'm
sure it will be a "DOH!" when someone points it out to me.

Assistance would be appreciated as I am *this* close to finishing, but am
stuck on this one detail.

TIA

No one helped me with my original problems, but I think that's because they
thought I was a moron...

BUT I still have faith...   Here's what happens now when I send a message to
myself (attached with one of the banned extensions)

failure:
192.168.2.26_failed_after_I_sent_the_message./Remote_host_said:_554_mail_ser
ver_permanently_rejected_message_(#5.3.0)/

Here's what I have as my 'qmail-queue' in /var/qmail/bin

#!/bin/sh
exec /var/qmail/bin/qmail-qfilter /var/qmail/bin/deny-filetypes

If there's no 'banned' attachment, it goes through okay...

and I receive a bounce saying

192.168.2.26 failed after I sent the message.
Remote host said: 554 mail server permanently rejected message (#5.3.0)

How do I get qmail-filter to add something about having a banned
extension...  ???

Again, I am using the qmail-qfilter program without using QMAILQUEUE ...


Thanks!!!





Hi All,

        I'm looking to make my log files /var/qmail/log hold more
info before starting a new file with cyclog:

I have modified my startup script line to look like this
for cyclog:

/usr/local/bin/cyclog -s256000 /var/log/qmail (start and
end stuff left off to save space)

Now according to the man page for cyclog:

cyclog [ -ssize ] [ -nnum ] [ -mmargin ] dir

where:

-ssize (Default: 104000. Minimum: 512.)  Maximum file size.
After  writing  this  many bytes to one file, cyclog will
start a new file.

Is there a space needed between the -s or not?  I know I
have to stop and start qmail for this to take effect as
well (right?)

-Bill

And... What happens when you try it both ways? Such an experiment
won't create world hunger - give it a try and report and discrepancies
with the documentation back to the list.

Sometimes a simple experiment is going to give you a more reliable
learning experience than just asking a list.

Thanks for reading this OT message. I've subed to the Amavis list, but
hours later, I've had no confirmation!

        qmail is working just fine. Installed AMaVis per INSTALL &
README.qmail. After making the symlinks to /usr/sbin/scanmails, I get
the following error message in syslog:

Feb 23 11:33:59 mail qmail: 982928039.242542 delivery 1: success:
DSorry,_I_couldn't_find_any_host_named_--._(#5.1.2)/
Feb 23 11:35:41 mail qmail: 982928141.394389 delivery 2: success:
DSorry,_I_couldn't_find_any_host_named_--._(#5.1.2)/
        I have checked the rights to scanmails, and the symlinks and that
hasn't fixed the problem. This error msg happens via qmail-inject and
telnetting into 25. Removing the symlinks and rename the qmail-*-real
files back to qmail-* brings the system back online. Any thoughts??

TIA

vQregister is new web-based signup CGI that
more than replaces the old vQsignup program
we released early last year.  If you're running
vQsignup now, or you're considering allowing
users to signup for free accounts, it's worth
taking a look at.

We will be adding a new feature very soon
which will be used to collect demographic,
or any other information administrators might
want during the signup process.  This information
might include their cleartext password, a
challenge password (for retrieving the cleartext
password over the phone), and other demographic
information such as zip codes, cities, etc.
We intend to make this fully configurable, so
that whatever information you wish to collect,
is easy to setup.

Head over to http://www.inter7.com/vqregister to
take a look at it.

Quite honestly this is a custom form that most of us code ourselves in php
to insert the info we need from users. What you really need to do is allow
us to pick our own fields...and integrate whatever html we want into it.

Maybe what I said wasn't as clear as it could
have been.  Exactly what you requested below,
is the feature we will be adding.

PHP is inefficient BTW. :)

Totally OT, but one user registration per second adds up to 86,400 new
users per day.

Can a small web server running PHP handle one registration per second?
Answer: yes.  Does hotmail.com do more than 86K registrations per day?
Answer: no.

Conclusion: One small webserver running PHP can handle all the
registrations for arguable the largest webmail service on the planet.

Efficiency is not always the most relevant selection criteria.

inefficent?
alot of speed and very easy to code.
Take me 10 lines of c code for one line in php.
+ it is built in apache as a module so it runs faster.

Of course c is faster and for any kind of real software it should be used.
But for a website....php is generally the choice.

Not everyone has a single box devoted to Apache with
PHP modules.  In fact, many people run a large amount
of time consuming processes.  Efficiency is always a
factor, when it can be taken into account.  Web
based products should always be concerned with efficiency.

Inter7 writes alot of qmail software that is very ontopic for much of this
list. I for one dont have a problem with them posting announcements....

If your opinion differs from his, thats fine. If you dont like his

But please dont suggest that his post is off topic and wasting your

Your whining is wasting mine. Lesson - delete it, or get off the list if

all you need to do to fix the dns problem is change a setting in your dns.c
source for qmail change the word "PACKETZ" to "65536"

this is according to running Qmail by sams publishing.

i have hacked this code a few times with 0 problems on 5 of my servers

thanks

Good evening!

        It looks like I'm on the last stretch of setting qmail up as a smart
host. I do have one - hopefully last - problem. Here's what works:

Standard qmail installation that works with SMTP and POP3.
qmail-inject test work fine using TEST.deliver .

        Telnet localhost/IPADDR 25 and manually entering commands works and the
message is delivered into Maildir just fine. I have pullmail running on
NT machine to POP3 out of domain acct and shove it into Exchange. That
works as well... My problem is, when mail arrives for
[EMAIL PROTECTED], it is accepted, but the message itself no longer
contains any To: or From: fields. When pullmail pops the mail from qmail
server, Exchange  bounces it all because there is no To: field! What
have I obviously missed?? I've used the LWQ and set up the qmail server
using Ch 11 of Running with qmail - Using qmail as an ISP server. Am I
supposed to resupply the To: / From: fields using variables in the
.qmail-default file?? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

TIA

No, qmail will not modify those headers by default.  Exchange pullmail 
must be removing them or they are not included with the email when it 
was injected into the queue.  Try looking at the mail in the Maildir to 
see if they are present before they get pop'd.  In addition, how are 
the messages being put into the queue?  Are you doing it from a script? 
 Are you sending it from a MUA?  And no, you shouldn't have to resupply 
them in a .qmail-default... :-)

Hello-

I was wondering if anybody had a patch to make qmail-local look in an
alternate directory for .qmail files before going to $HOME.  I know I saw
somewhere that somebody had done something like this, but I've been unable
to find it again.

If all else fails, I will just go ahead and hack away at qmail-local
myself, but I was hoping somebody out there could make my job easier.

Thank you,

Ben

You can use the qmail-users mechanism to reach the same goal.

I saw something about doing that on the qmail.org page, however, this is
really not the ideal solution for what I'm trying to do.  My goal is to
make a web based management system for this, and I'd prefer to keep most
everything out of the users home directory, for the sake of security and
simplicity.

Basically, I want to setup another directory that will have a subdirectory
for each user on the system, with .qmail files that are written by the
administrative interface, and the virtual POP boxes for these
users.  Similar to what vpopmail does, but in a way that doesn't negate
the ability to have mail delivered to good old '/var/mail/$USER' boxes for
those who would rather use a shell.

Thanks,

Ben





Dear All,

I have installed qmail succefully on RH 7.0. it successfully rceievs messages
and save it in ~user/Mbox. I wan to change it to /var/spool/mail. For this
pupose I used binm2 file as rc. But still it does'nt work and don't send mail
to /var/spool/mail as well as in Mbox. 

Now anybody can help me to configure it in a way that it can send mail to
/var/spool/mail.

Make a file 

Make a file in joe's home directory called .qmail-default and in there
define the parameters of the forward like you would in an alias file.

That didn't quite work, I appreciate the response though, thanks.

455:adsl-349-23-98-147:/home/lab8> cat .qmail-default 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

   4 -rw-r--r--   1 lab8     lab8           14 Feb 24 06:35 .qmail-default


Then I try to mail [EMAIL PROTECTED], and the mail appears in
lab8's spool file, but is never forwarded to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Any other suggestions, or am I doing something incorrect?
