hi
I am doing another qmail install and this time I have a /supervise directory
for dnscache, so I thought it would make sense to run qmail from there, I am
following lwq (most of the time). So I was wondering if anyone had already
adapted the lwq start up script to do this, and is it a case of instead of
starting supervise in /var/qmail/supervise linking that folder to
/supervise? and then removing the link to stop
thanks

I am using supervise to run qmail-ldap with OpenLDAP, pop3 and

could be any other place.. /supervise for instance

Assuming you're running svscan on /service (not /supervise) already,
e.g. from inittab, you could change the "start" section in the script
to:
echo -n "Starting qmail"
ln -s /var/qmail/supervise/* /service
echo "."
;;
And the "stop" section to:
echo -n "Stopping qmail: qmail-send qmail-smtpd"
svc -dx /service/qmail-send /service/qmail-smtpd
echo -n " logging"
svc -dx /service/qmail-send/log /service/qmail-smtpd/log
echo "."
;;
And replace /var/qmail/supervise with /service in the rest of the
script.

Huh, svscan will restart Your supervise processes and services in max 5
seconds. You need to remove the links first, then -dx supervise, if You
really want to use such silly initscripts, better use svc directly.

I didn't think this through very carefully. I think it'd be better to:
touch /var/qmail/supervise/*/down /var/qmail/supervise/*/log/down
ln -s /var/qmail/supervise/* /service
Once as root, and change the "start" section to:
echo -n "Starting qmail"
svc -u /service/qmail-send /service/qmail-smtpd
svc -u /service/qmail-send/log /service/qmail-smtpd/log
echo "."
;;
This will make it into LWQ after I've had a chance to test and debug
it.

No, I just forgot to remove the "x" flags. Make it:
echo -n "Stopping qmail: qmail-send qmail-smtpd"
svc -d /service/qmail-send /service/qmail-smtpd
echo -n " logging"
svc -d /service/qmail-send/log /service/qmail-smtpd/log
echo "."

What makes this a "silly initscript"? What's the right way to do this
stuff in your OS religion?
In what way does it not run svc directly?

I have svscan /service started from inittab. I have the links for the
services in /service and normally do not remove them. Services are started
at boot time, no need for init scripts. If I want a service to be down
temporary, I use svc -d /service/<service>. Thats what I mean with 'use svc
directly'.

Newsflash: some people *like* using scripts that allow for more
human-readable (and easier to type) commands like 'qmail stop' and 'qmail
pause'. As long as one understands what the script is doing and why, there
is no right, wrong, or "silly" way to do it. TEHO.

PS: That's the closest I've come to a flame on this list. I feel so
dirty...
thanks Dave,
I was on the right lines, I just didnt know any thing about svc.
once the links are created to /service it will start automatically on boot
up,
but if it had been stopped before shutdown (svc -d) - it will need to be
'svc -u' ed on bootup? so qmail(in init.d) should still be linked to the
rcx.d/ directories?
if qmail was run from /service would it get shutdown properly without your
'qmail stop' stuff?
I hope these questions are understandable - its 2am and I am knacked!
thanks,
Neil

That is a question? Svc saves no history and sets no state that
survives rebooting.

No. The only program you need to start various long-running services
is svscan. For example, here's my /service directory on my server:
axfrdns dnscache ftpd msql2d qmail rsyncd sshd
bray etrn httpd pop3d qmtpd smtpd tinydns
Most of these are obvious. "bray" is not a service name but instead
the name of a friend who needs to have a tcpservice running on a
non-root port. So I do this:
#!/bin/sh
exec setuidgid bray tcpserver -HRl0 0 2379 ~bray/bin/server
> if qmail was run from /service would it get shutdown properly
> without your 'qmail stop' stuff?
What does "properly" mean? I don't know of any reboot or shutdown
program that is going to wait twenty minutes for all the qmail-remotes
to exit. If you want it properly shutdown, you must do "svc -d
/service /service/*/log", wait for all the servers to exit, and then
reboot.

Nothing wrong with this, but just as an alternative thought, nothing
stops users running their own svscan. I have a ~/service and guess how
the per-user svscans are started...

I just updated my qmail to the newest RPM provided by Bruce Guenter.
In the previous version I had I could start qmail with /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail
start.
Now I have to use the svc-commands.
After the upgrade I found out that I have both /service and /var/service
directories.
Svscan is started at the init from /service which has symlinks to
/var/qmail/service/SERVICE.
Can I remove the /var/service directory?

Peter

Note that also the timestamp could have the 's'. '+* *...' is mandatory when
using multilog with timestamps.

That's multilog, not qmail-smtpd. Connect to port 25, then do the ps
again.

None of this looks like any error message I've ever seen from qmail.
This looks like an error occurred before the message got to your qmail
server.

There's a bit in LWQ:
http://www.lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html#comparison
Which includes a link to Cameron Laird's MTA comparison, which
includes links to his profiles of qmail and Postfix. The table in LWQ
is a little outdated.
In a rigorous benchmark conducted a couple years ago, qmail beat
Postfix, but both were head-and-shoulders above everything else.
Securitywise, I give the edge to qmail because its
compartmentalization is better, because of Dan's generally bug-free
code, avoidance of the standard C library, and because qmail is much
smaller.
In reliability, qmail again has the edge simply because Dan's code has
fewer bugs than Wietse's.
Configuration is pretty much a draw. Some people like qmail's style
(separate file for each setting) vs Postfix's (lots of settings in one
or more files), or vice versa.
Postfix is easier to drop into a Sendmail system because it handles
/etc/aliases and .forward's out of the box.
Postfix is truly Open Source.
qmail has some innovative features like extension addresses, address
wildcarding, user-managed lists, and user-managed virtual domains that
Postfix doesn't. Postfix has limited extension addresses, but no
wildcarding, if I remember correctly.
Postfix does multiple RCPT deliveries and implements per-host
concurrency limits.

Hello.
I have to provide a solution to a series of mail
servers (geographically distributed), serving from 20000 to 100000
users. Every server will support 1 primary (virtual) domain, and probably
several small ones. I believe that vpopmail+mysql or qmail-ldap can provide a
viable solution, but I didn't find any benchmarks, comparisons or
recommendations to what solution can I use according to my load, and I also
would like to know from you expirience, interesting, is there a machine that can
handle 100000 users (whether Intel or Sun based) alone, or I need to use
clustering.
Any input will be apriciated.
Alex.
P.S. I am surprised to see the lack of such info on
qmail.org, maybe I will compile a page from the responces I get (if I get
them).

I'm no expert but this is my 2 euro's worth ...
Serveral people here will have experince of this - and 100,000 is
nothing given enought disk space and your users check them mail once a
decade ;-).
What I am trying to say is that you would need to give a usage profile
i.e I expect my users to recieve X amount of mail a day, send Y and
check every Z minutes|hours.
Also how much space will you allow them to have - which will dictate the
ammount of disk space you will need.
Another issue may be how often you will add new users or change existing
passwords (assuming a pop3 pickup) as this may alter your decision as to
wherther to use CDB, mysql, Oracle or LDAP to store users information.
CDB is the fastest, but has the slowest rebuild / update time - whereas
a DB / LDAP based method is quicker to update, but more complex and
slower to query (compared to CDB).

ps please stop the HTML email !
Hi all,
I have tried to implement adding a footer to my outgoing email messages
the messages are standard text files with lines over 100 letters
When trying to send the mail out using serialsmtp I get the following
errors.
serialsmtp: fatal: SMTP cannot transfer messages with partial final lines
serialsmtp: fatal: SMTP cannot transfer messages with partial final lines
serialsmtp: fatal: SMTP cannot transfer messages with partial final lines
maildirserial: fatal: making no progress, giving up
What is ment by partial final lines ?
Is there a max length of a line in the email format
that I have to use for the footer.
I notice that the lines in html files are broken with =(eol)
and then going on to the next line.
Please point me to some info on this.
with best regards
Mettavihari
Sri Lanka.
> serialsmtp: fatal: SMTP cannot transfer messages with partial final lines
Partial final lines are ones which are not ended with a line separator.
Try to include a final empty line in your footer.

My qmail server seems to hang for about 30 seconds when an outbound smtp
connection is made to it on port 25.... Once the short delay is over, the
server is very quick in sending out the mail. What could be causing this
hang? I don't have the server set to do reverse resolution as far as I can
tell....so I don't know what else could cause it.

Read the FAQ and the manual for tcpserver. This is a _very_ frequently
asked question.

For example SCO stores man pages in html. I don't think it's a question of

I think there's a little confusion here. sophisticated configuration means
configuration file or configuration dir to me.

Yahoo mail servers are down and it is heavily affecting my box.
qmail-qstat shows that there are over 45000 messages
in queue (# growing all the time).
Normally I wouldn't mind the queue, BUT the problem
is that it is affecting outgoing mail to OTHER servers
as well. It seems that simultaneous deliveries to Yahoo
are choking qmail-send and other mail is not going through
either.
Is there anything I can do to 'surpress' those Yahoo deliveries?

Yeah it looks like their servers are timing out.
This used to happen to yahoo quite regularly but they have been good for a
while now. Unfortuanately in the past when I have seen this it has taken
them several days to fix the problem.

What we have done on occassion is to add an entry for yahoo.com to
/var/qmail/control/smtproutes which redirects all yahoo.com to be
routed to a seperate qmail machine. There we can either nuke the files
periodically (via a very short queue lifetime), or increase the tcp
timeout values to help compensate for these very slow domains.
--curtis
I think you can make another qmail instance on the same machine at another
port
and use the new qmail instance as your active mail server until mails on
original qmail instance runs out.
May it helps.

I noticed when I implemented rblsmtpd that several legitimate sites were
being blocked. They were mostly other .edu sites. Is there any way to create
a list of exceptions, hopefully with a wild card so I could allow all .edu
traffic to pass regardless? Or better yet can I get rblsmtpd to just tell me
which sites it has gotten matches on but not actually block the mail. So I
can then encourage sites that should be allowed in to improve their servers,
and make the web a better place for us all. I've already written a script to
pull out those who get blocked from the log file. That was how I discovered
I was blocking people who needed to send us email. I would be happy to share
it.

Yes; set the environment variable RBLSMTPD to a null string ("") using
tcpserver (in the cdb file; well, you put it in the source which is
compiled into the cdb file):
209.98.94.1-8:allow,RBLSMTPD=""

I used the generic life with qmail install on RedHat Linux. When using the
default Linux script it setup the qmail groups using /bin/bash. Should I
change this to /bin/false so that they have no shell? In other words, would
there be an advantage to doing this? By not assigning passwords to these
accounts I assume that this is the end result anyway.

"Should" as in "you want" (as has been pointed out).
Anyway, to me it appears that a simple perl script (or whatever) could
be used to fix this "problem". Simply make the script call the real
qmail-inject or qmail sendmail wrapper, then first print out the Date
header (in whatever format/timezone/etc.) and finally copy all of the
input to output.
I'm even volunteering to write this perl script for you, if you don't
know how to do it yourself, or can't find anyone else to do it for you.
(If you need me to write it for you, please contact me in private.)
Hope this helps,

Don't bother. The program already exists in the qmail distribution.
It's called `datemail'.

Why not use /var/qmail/bin/predate?

predate is one component of datemail (check the
/var/qmail/bin/datemail script).
predate reads data from fd 0. It prepends an RFC compliant Date:
header to this data and passes it to a child program such as
/var/qmail/bin/sendmail (or cat, if you are curious about predate).

Thanks! Finally a response that leads somewhere! :)
I was able to cure most of the Date problems, but sqwebmail-generated
headers still are a problem. However, all fingers are pointing now to
my email client (PMMail Pro 2000). :)

The -0000 is in the MTA generated Received: lines. AFAIK, it's
the standard way to indicate "no offset from UTC".

Hi,
I have four FreeBSD machines and one as the mail/smtp server. We use the
latest
qmail (1.0.3 I think) + vpopmail + qmailadmin setup which works great. The
only
problem is that on the other three, from all of FreeBSD's nice security mail
that
the machine automatically generates, they end up filling /var/mail on each
machine..
yet the MX for our domain points to mail. I was figuring I'll need smart
relay (DS)
in sendmail.cf but what exactly should I do to each machine and the
mailserver to
get all the local mail they send end up sending to my admin@domain account
(for all
the IT/networking staff?) I fdound a few references on the FAQ but nothing
definitive.. adding something like this to the FAQ would be good since it
seems to
be a common problems.
Thanks alot. (Please reply directly to this mail ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) since
I'm not
on the list))
If I have a
.qmail-test file in my home directory with the lines
|groups
>>MYGROUP ; exit 0
I can send email to
me-test and everything works out fine.
However, if
.qmail-test contains
|groups | mail
$SENDER -s "Groups" ; exit 0
then I don't get the

Hi Folks;
I have been using Majordomo-1.94.5 and Qmail-1.03, for a while now using the
mjinject mini script, but just recently I noticed everytime a mail is sent
to one list there are several child processes that seem to be polling even
though the mail is delivered to list members.

The number of these processes decreases to one or two over a period of 4
hours, and list seems to work fine. Qmail does not report any problem except
there still seems to be a copy of mailing list email in
/var/qmail/queue/local even after mail is delivered to all members.
Any clues appreciated!

First, stop sending HTML email to this mailing list or you'll get kicked
by 'someone' else.
Second, I don't think qmail has any quota mechanism in it. Easy way to
do this is to use something else, like vpopmail from inter7.com (check
out their web site, and read the manual--please). Or you may want to
write your own program, stuff it into the mail pipe, and enjoy! (Dont'
do this, believe me.)

Mike,
I have a few questions regarding your post. Depending on your user
level, you may know some or most of this, so I apologize now if I am
covering anything you already know, or not giving enough information to you.
If you need more, just ask. :)
What virtual domain e-mail distribution are you using? (vpopmail or
vmailmrg) what is the version?
When you get e-mail back to edv-support.ch is seems to be acting like a
catch-all. Are these messages coming to you as a bounce or double bounce
back messages from MAILER-DAEMON?
Could you run a (dependant on your qmail home dir)
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-showctl and give us the output?
(this below is just a shot in the dark, not knowing enough about your
configuration)
If you are running virtual domains with either vpopmail or vmailmgr,
(correct me if I am wrong plz) you would need a virtualdomains file. If you
are the full MTA for both your domains (onesworld.ch and edv-support.ch)
only one of them can be set as a 'locals'. The one that is selected to be
the local domain will also be found in your 'me' file... I believe that is
the reason you are getting all mail directed to recipients @onesword.ch.
The locals file is simply an extension of your me file. Mine look like
this:
control]$ less me
g0thic.com
~
~
EOF
control]$ less locals
localhost
g0thic.com
.g0thic.com
mail.g0thic.com
~
~
EOF
Above is the most plausible reason you are getting all mail directed at
@onesworld.ch users to your account.
My guess is you need to do this:
Install a virtual domain enabler... My favorite is vMailMRG and can be
found at http://www.vmailmgr.org/ The documentation is fairly good and can
be followed quite easily.
You might want to consider not being an open relay agent as well. This is a
large annoyance when people start to use you as a spam relay, and I am relay
sure you do not want to get your domain black listed.
You might want to read this if you are not familiar with it already:
http://www.palomine.net/qmail/relaying.html
This is what I recommend to control mail relaying:
http://em.ca/~bruceg/relay-ctrl/
Set up a 'virtualdomains' (following package instructions) file containing
the correct information moved over from 'locals'. Be sure not to duplicate
the information, but be sure that everything in 'locals' and
'virtualdomains' is listed in order of importance.
Some good resources you can check are obviously, past mailing list posts (I
am sure there is a like to an archive on http://www.qmail.org)
Other resources are:
http://www.lifewithqmail.org/
http://www.kitabjian.com/dave/qmailhelp/
http://www.vmailmrg.org
And at the time of this reply, I am too tired to look for a link to
vpopmail.
Cheers,

Hey there guys,
Got a question for ya this morning.
Qmail traditionally logs all pop3 transactions in /var/log/maillog using
syslog or whatever it is.
I want to have multilog handle all logfile entries for qmail-pop3d, and have
all output recorded to /var/log/qmail/qmail-pop3d/ in maillog format.
However, (I am using daemontools and service scripts) I can not get output
to be recorded there.
This is what my /service/pop3d/log/run file contains;
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/setuidgid qmaill /usr/local/bin/multilog t
/var/log/qmail/qmail-pop3d
And it does not seem to do the trick. The old /service/pop3d/run file
contained:
#!/bin/sh
service=pop-3
. /usr/share/qmail/log-functions
As you can see, referencing to /log-functions but I am not sure of the exact
string I need in the new run file to make it all work.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Sean
P.S. Thanks in advance...
As a matter of policy, is it reasonable to reject messages that fail a
reverse DNS lookup on HELO's FQDN/authentication?
Good idea?
Fascist idea?
Opinions pls.
John
