Just so you understand why this works and not .qmail-default...
.qmail-default is only read if there is an additional part in the email
address such as [EMAIL PROTECTED] and a corresponding .qmail-admin
does not exist. If .qmail-admin exists it will use the delivery
instructions in that file, if it doesn't exist it will follow delivery
instructions in .qmail-default. If that doesn't exist either then the
mail will bounce with ``Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1)''

Von: Lars Hecking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
An: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The amavis developers are currently working on the next generation
of amavis-perl. It has been rewritten to run as a daemon process,
and it is communicating with the mail system through a small client
program, written in C.
The client doesn't work with qmail yet. In this configuration, the
client replaces qmail-queue(8), so it has to mimic qmail-queue in
two regards:
- reading envelope information from stdout
- generate the correct exit codes expected by the rest of the
qmail system
Basically, we're looking for someone familiar with both qmail
and amavis-perl to write a qmail client for amavisd, or modifies
the existing client to work with qmail.
Any volunteers? I would hate having to drop qmail support ...

FYI, you could use LIKE clause too.
Anyway, there is a REGEX clause in MySQL which will fulfill what you need :)
MySQL is FASTER. And it has regex support from a long time ago.
But this is another story.

Yeah, that's the popular rumor. Doesn't seem to bear weight with reports
of postgres being "6x faster" than MySQL on some real-world applications.
For example, see:

Dear All,
I have installed qmail succefully on RH 7.0. it successfully rceievs

Now anybody can help me to configure it in a way that it can send mail to

Andy,
Thanks for the help. Pullmail is not removing the to:/from: headers.
I've looked at the files in the Maildir/new and those fields are not
listed. Here's a copy of the *.mail file in /home/user/Maildir/new:
Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>Delivered-To:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]: (qmail 24217 invoked from network); 24 Feb
2001 11:45:07 -0000Received: from unknown (HELO mail.xxx.com)
(127.0.0.1) by localhost with SMTP; 24 Feb 2001 11:45:07 -0000Subject:
TestTest
End of message
If I use qmail-inject and cat a text file with the to:/from: fields in
it ala TEST.deliver, the system works fine. Pullmail pops it off the
server and routes it to the correct user on the Exchange system. qmail
itself is putting all email destined for the domain into a single user
account on the mail server. In order to put the messaged into the queue,
I'm telnetting to port 25 on the mail server and manually running the
commands - just as described in TEST.deliver. This is the only place so
far that the system fails. Not sure where else to look. Here's my rc
file in case that helps. My gut is telling me I'm missing something
there.
/var/qmail/rc
#!/bin/sh# Using splogger to send the log through syslog.# Using
procmail to deliver messages to /var/spool/mail/$USER by default.exec

Are you encountering this behavior with qmail-inject? If you aren't
using qmail-inject then these control files won't help you. Figure out
how to make your MUA work as you want.

I just tried using qmail-inject and that worked properly, I
thought this was invoked by default in qmail. How can I get my
MUA, as well as others on my system to properly, use this by
default when email is sent. Thanks a lot.

My Linux server hosts 2 domains. Domain A is real and B testing. Test
accounts are setup in B. At the end of the test, is it possible to copy all
subdirectories of domain B to domain A? Will that be sufficient for account
creation also? Are there indices which point to directory location per
user?
Thanks for all the help.

I would like to second this question. I believe it should be possible to do
but have been
unsuccessful in my first try as it seems that the lists I was trying to copy
were easier to
recreate.
Mark
On second look, it appears vpasswd.cdb contains the links to Maildir
folders. Can I edit vpasswd file and generate a new vpasswd.cdb file? Is
there a known procedure or command for this?

Guys,
I really need your help. I've search through Qmail documentations and
mailing-list in
internet and can't find the answer. I hope someone here can help me.
My Qmail, and Vpopmail work fine. I follow the instructions in INSTALL
files when installing the packages.
I can send and receive email from some mail sites without
problem.
But recently I find out that if someone who's using Hotmail, USA.net,
and some other mail server, tried to send email to some users in my
mail server, 80% of the messages lost in space, 5% received, and 15%
received after several days. What's the problem?
NO ERROR MESSAGE IN MY LOG FILE--> /var/log/messages
I don't use supervise, accustamp, cyclog, or anything, just in the
/var/log/messages.
Please help!

Best regards,
Chrisanthy
oh, friend
you might encount the problem with anonymous user
relay, those users send mail with your "free" server,
you must close it as soon as possible,
if not, someone is likely to send spam with your
server, that is not the worst ,the worst is that
the destinations of the spam email will repay your
kind "free server", such as email bombs are going to
foist into your server......
i can give you some advice, find out the "free" users and their
IPs, shield them.
if you apply tcpserver,.look /etc for tcp.smtp
set as following:
127.0.0.1:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
192.168.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
:allow
and then translate the file into cbd format:
# tcprules tcp.smtp.cdb tcp.smtp.temp < tcp.smtp
you can see
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -p -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb
in /service/qmail-smtpd/run
it allow local user--->127.0.0.1
and 192.168.0~254
Good luck!
Jerry

Yesbut, then the buffer takes 64K *every* time. Just to handle the
0.0001% of hosts with overlarge DNS records. Carl's patch increases
the buffer size until it stops returning an error.

We have setup qmail1.03 with the concurrency and big-todo patches.
concurrencyremote is currently set to 400.
We have a perl script which queries a database and then 'qmail-injects'
messages to over 200,000 users.
We found that concurrency wasn't running anywhere near max because the perl
script wasn't injecting fast enough, so we converted the script to run 2
simultaneous injection threads.
Now the problem is that the queue and 'not yet preprocessed' numbers are
growing quickly, but only about 50 qmail-remotes are running. When we stop
the injections, 400 remotes spawn as expected.
So it would seem that when qmail is actively receiving lots of messages for
delivery, it won't spawn the remotes? Anyone have a solution to improve
this situation?

Run multiple copies of qmail on the same machine. Cause the perl
script to choose one of them at random, by running one of:
/var/qmail1/bin/qmail-inject
/var/qmail2/bin/qmail-inject
/var/qmail3/bin/qmail-inject
/var/qmail4/bin/qmail-inject

Hello,
Could anyone confirm that Maildir:s are safe for concurrent access via AFS?
That is, there may potentially be multiple qmail servers delivering mail to
the same maildir, and multiple clients reading the same maildir.
Given that Maildir was in part made to be safe with NFS, and given what I
know about Maildir manipulation, I don't see a problem. But I thought I'd
ask, just in case.
