The -0000 is in the MTA generated Received: lines. AFAIK, it's
the standard way to indicate "no offset from UTC".
What standard are you quoting?
RFC822 says that UT representation is +0000
RFC1123 point out that 822 gets MIL tz codes bass-ackwards so -0000
should be used as defined in 822 as operational difficulty or invalid
tz code.
This is off the top-of-the-head but if you persist I'll cut and paste
quotes!

According to D J Bernstein (from http://cr.yp.to/immhf/date.html#timestamp ):
: The time shown is the creator's local time. The time shown, minus the zone shown, is
: the actual time in UTC.
:
: Exception: a zone of -0000 indicates that the local time is unavailable or
:meaningless,
: and that the time shown is the actual time in UTC.
: (In contrast, a zone of +0000 indicates that the times hown is both local time and
: actual time in UTC.) This special meaning of -0000 was not specified in 822, but it
:is being
: widely used and is mentioned in 822bis.
:
: Note that, in a few areas of the world, the difference between local time and UTC is
: almost never an exact multiple of 1 minute.
: Implementors can still use -0000 safely in this case.

Hi
My qmail server is having a problem sending mail via SMTP to a specific
domain.
When I tried to see what was going on, the logs show
deferral: Connected_to_xxx.xxx.xx.xx_but_connection_died._
When I telnet to the remote server on port 25, I get the response below:
220 *****************************************************************
Does anyone know if this is a legitimate reply? I have had no other
problems, and I suspect that this is NOT a qmail problem, but rather a
problem with the banner from the remote server. Any thoughts on the subject
would be most welcome.
Thanks
Ari Levien
you must get a greeting from the server.
the 220 response is valid, have you try to
greet it and continue a smtp session ?

Lucio Jankok

In case your intention is to restrict the size of individual messages
handled by smtpd, you would want to set /var/qmail/control/databytes to
a positive non-zero integer...do a `man qmail-smtpd`; let the OS handle
user quotas....

This really makes no sense at all. Your POP3 service has nothing to do with
delivering mail to anyone's mailbox, so you won't get error messages from an
MTA because of a POP3 problem, whatever it may be.

This wasn't produced by qmail.

Hatem,
I sent a mail message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
(note the lack of the mail. Prefix).
I got back two different errors:
Recipient: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Reason: To send mail, first check your mail with a valid POP account;
this prevents unauthorized SPAM relaying. (#5.7.1)
And
Recipient: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Reason: User unknown
A dig on both mail.hahlabs.com and hahlabs.com revealed very interesting
information, and it comes clear that there may be a DNS issue along with an
account config error. First, it does not seem like there is a designated MX
host for your mail.hahlabs.com DNS entry, however, there are two CNAME
records and one A record, directing all requests to your online webmail host
@ mail.register-admin.com.criticalpath.net. And for that same domain, a dig
for MX records shows no relevant output.

A 'dig mx hahlabs.com' shows the mx record of mxmail.registrars.com, and
when I got the mail back from the [EMAIL PROTECTED] address, it says no
error, but User unknown.
Two possible answers:
1 There is a DNS config error somewhere with mail.hahlabs.com and it is
missing an MX record for correct recognition
OR (and most likely)
2 The user account is truly based at @hahlabs.com and not @mail.hahlabs.com.
Mail sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] was not returned. Which leads me to
believe, that is where your Qmail installation is expecting to receive mail.
However, mail sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] was returned. I would
take it that hahlabs.com is not a virtual host, and if you do a locate for
that username, you should be able to find your issues.
If that user does exist, it might be a good idea to check the permissions on
the user mail accounts directories. I seem to remember having a problem
with that when I started working with Qmail 'chmod -R 700 ./Maildir' and a
'chown -R user:group ./Maildir' should do the trick.
Some good help would be to post the contents of the
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-showctl output. Perhaps also take a look at running
qmail-lint as this can diagnose some of the most common but easy to miss
config errors (qmail-lint can be found at :
http://qmail.valueclick.com/qmail/qmail-lint-0.55 )
Let me know if that was at all helpful, or totally off the mark.
Cheers,
Sean

Hello,
My SMTP server is in mail-abuse.org. Follow the Faq I did:
#cat .qmail-fixup-default
| [ "@$HOST" = "@fixme" ] || ( echo Permission denied; exit 100 )
| qmail-inject -f "$SENDER" -- "$EXT2"
#cat virtualdomains
fixme:fixup
#cat smtp.rules
200.18.178.:allow,RELAYCLIENT="@fixme"
All E-mail sent with <address@domain@[Meu IP]>, was not recived.
And it is keeping in Mailbox of alias.
- How do it, to this mail type have relay denied, like sendmail
?
Thanks for all,
Marcilio
Hi,
I'm facing some problems getting qmail up.
And the log files for smtpd-send et. al are empty
(that's correct, because there isn't something to log).
But how can I get logs from the start and stop
error messages written to a file?
Thanks Tom

Really? I didn't think it logged anything. Are you sure you're not using a
patched version?
Dave
Well, I am using qmail-1.03+patches.tar.gz, downloaded from a reliable
source of course. Qmail-send and qmail-smtp log their information using
multilog, in the correct place of course (/var/log/qmail/(service-name).
What I am trying to do, is just move the log output of qmail-pop3d to the
same path, from maillog.
Currently logging is controlled by supervise (Daemon tools I think), and
uses logger or syslog (I think), to write log file output. I want to change
that output to be written by multilogger.
Any ideas?

Very political question. As long as you don't reject envelope senders of
<> and <#@[]>, you won't be violating any RFCs. However, you could reject
legitimate mail due to temporary problems with connectivity of your machine
or other organizations' DNS servers.

I don't think this buys you much in the way of spam protection and can
block legitimate email. Many dialup and dsl connections will have a reverse
DNS entry in the service providers domain space.
If you want to block dialups, you are probably better off using the DUL
list to do it.

Do you relay for users running POP clients who send their outbound
through you via smtp? Do you control the reverse DNS on the IPs they
come in from? If "yes" and "no", then it's definitely a bad idea.
(I'm assuming you're considering requiring only *some* reverse DNS,
not one that matches what they HELO as?)

No.
Neither is it reasonable to reject messages from a host whose reverse
DNS hostname lacks an MX record.
Neither is it reasonable to reject messages from a host which isn't
running an SMTP server.
Although I've been sorely tempted to implement both of these.

Indeed. Nevertheless, I think some elaboration will make the following
answers easier to understand to less experienced mail managers.
> Neither is it reasonable to reject messages from a host whose reverse
> DNS hostname lacks an MX record.
For instance, if a sending machine is only known to an organization's
internal name servers, but somehow its hostname is used in outgoing
messages, is it reasonable to block it? I would like to :>, but in
fairness, I can't :(

Some organizations run incoming mail server(s) and outgoing mail server(s).
The later often do not run SMTP. But they do send out messages. Can
you block them, no.

Well two of our service providers haven't arranged reverse DNS lookups for
our Internet visible subnets. Our DNS servers are ready, but they either
don't want to do it or don't know how to do it. So you can't look up names
from our IPs. And it's been more than a year already.
So I'm biased and I'd say it's not reasonable ;).
Why would you want to do that anyway?
Cheerio,

Spam prevention. Have had the same problem myself. It is indeed sad that
we have to jump through these hoops because a few folks insisting on
emailing everyone about their inkjet refills or lower mortgage rates
necessitate this.
> Cheerio,

Hi,
I dont know, whether the HELO/EHLO from the MTA-Client means anything and
whether it can be used for a reverse DNS lookup.
However, it makes sense to do DNS lookup für the MAIL FROM: address.
This is alrady feasable by some qmail patches, including my SPAMCONTROL.
Have a look at:
http://www.fehcom.de/qmail_en.html
cheers.
eh.

If you have reliable DNS services - I've been on the other end of
that, a site permanently rejecting each mail (a 5xx code) because they
were having problems resolving the sending domain. Delegation and the
nameservers were fine, as it was the second address I tried (which
also failed with a 5xx code)
Very messy, and not very good for their customers.

In particular to cope with this, my implementation lets you define for
which Domains you dont want DNS Reverse Lookup: /var/qmail/control/nodnscheck.
SPAMCONTROL does a logging on that, thus you easily can figure out, which
Domains cause the problem.

Perhaps your OS has a limit on the length of account names. This has nothing to
do with any limits in qmail on the length of an address, and even less to do
with limits on the length of POP user names. At the time this message was
produced, qmail-pop3d has never entered the picture.

I've been a little thrown off by your posing this question as a problem with
POP3. That's a red herring; it has nothing to do with POP3.
This is from the qmail-getpw man page:
qmail-getpw considers an account in /etc/passwd to be a
user if (1) the account has a nonzero uid, (2) the
account's home directory exists (and is visible to qmail-
getpw), and (3) the account owns its home directory.
qmail-getpw ignores account names containing uppercase
letters. qmail-getpw also assumes that all account names
are shorter than 32 characters.
qmail-getpw assumes that the account name is shorter than 32 characters. This
doesn't impose a limit on the local part of an address, though. You can use
either the dot-qmail or mail-users mechanism to have addresses of unlimited
length, and deliver mail to accounts with names shorter than 32 characters.

I've been thinking about this for quite a while now. I still can't come up
with a solution so maybe someone here can help.
Short version: we're looking for a way to make several e-mail addresses
share the same mailbox.
Long version: some of our clients want to have additional e-mail addresses
(we give 1 client 1 e-mail address with a 4MB mailbox; some want as many as
10 addresses). We want to be able to give out more addresses (they don't
cost us anything anyway) but want to limit the mailbox size to 4MB, no
matter which e-mail address consumes more of the mailbox.
This is basically a quota problem. Can anyone suggest a solution?
M. Yu
Perhaps I am missing something here....
You could create the first mail account (mailbox) giving ownership to
username "joebob", each additional mailbox is given ownership to
"joebob" ...set a quota for "joebob"....all files/directories
(mailboxes, whatever) owned by "joebob" are enforced to the quota set
for the user "joebob"...this is how quotas on Solaris work...I am
assuming a standard here, but I think its ok....

Greetings,
I've just installed the MailMan MLM on my qmail server with
fastforward support for /etc/aliases. Everything seems to work fine
except that the messages that MailMan sends out are missing some
headers such as "Date:" and "Message-ID:". The result is that the
destination MTA has to fill them in.
Even if MailMan doesn't provide these headers, shouldn't qmail add
them in? Has anyone else had this problem with MailMan?
Regards,
Graham

qmail doesn't touch them as Mailman sends the messages via SMTP to
localhost rather than using qmail-inject. I've seen this problem myself
and at some point intend to hack Mailman to use qmail-inject rather than
SMTP; only my lack of any knowledge of Python has stopped me so far.

What I want to do is add the X-Envelope-To: to every email sent to my
virtual domain. Then I can have pullmail just look at the X-Envelope-To:
field and fix receiving mail sent to
mailing lists.
This is what I've done to my .qmail files:
In .qmail-default
|(echo "X-Envelope-To: $DEFAULT@$HOST"; cat) | qmail-inject -f "$SENDER"
-- user-finaldelivery
(Above is all on one line)
In .qmail-finaldelivery:
./Maildir/
When all this is done, I get the following error message:
delivery 48: deferral: qmail-spawn_unable_to_open_message._(#4.3.0)/
I've also tried the following variations:
Put everything in .qmail-default and leave off the --
user-defaultdelivery. That fails with
same error message.
Use Apparently-To: in place of X-Envelope-To: but that caused some nasty
loops to happen!! One message got sent over 1000 times before I could
clear the queue.
Can someone point out the error of my ways??
Thanks!

Peter,
Ok I think I got it!! The sticky point was realizing that when messages
are forwarded via user-finaldelivery, that it needed to be treated as a
local user. In my control/locals file, all I had was localhost, but once
I added the server.domain.com, it start inserting and forwarding email!
Thanks again for all the help! This is the number one reason why I
picked qmail over Exim/sendmail - the user community!

Has anyone on the list had any problems getting qmail to accept mail
deliveries from someone using letter rip pro? I have a user who is using
letter rip, but his session is "unexpectedly closed" every time when trying
to send mail to my server. The domain he is trying to send to is hosted on
my mail machine, and has no problems receiving mail from any other source.
Any ideas?

Not familer with the software but it sounds like it might be the bare line
feeds issue.
There is info in the archives and I think on qmail.org on how to work around
this without fixing the software.

Hi all:
I have a customer with a Linux server that connects to us through a
dialup account, and sends us their queued mail using serialmail. The
problem they are having is that, from time to time, they have some
leftover mails that don't get sent, even if I kill all the running
instances of serialmail and start it up by hand. The situation goes more
or less like:
1) serialmail is started by a cron job, creates a lock on the outgoing
mail directory using seriallock and starts sending the messages in the
queue.
2) Before it has finished (the queue has several megabytes of
messages), the cron job gets called again, but since the lockfile is...
erm, locked, it doesn't do anything (or at least that's how I think it
works...).
3) After several hours like this, you can see in the outgoing queue
several old messages that, according to their timestamp, should have
been sent by the first serialmail invocation, but haven't. You kill all
the running instances of serialmail, start it by hand and... it starts
sending mail NOT from the very beginning of the queue (i.e. those
leftover messages), but from somewhere in the middle.
My question is: what's going on? Or, to be more precise:
-Does serialmail create a lock in the messages in the outgoing queue
too, instead of just in the lock file? Does that (hypothetical) lock
remain if I kill serialmail by hand?
-Is my assumption in 2) correct? (That is, that the second invocation
of serialmail doesn't do anything). The line I use in my crontab file
is:
/usr/local/bin/setlock -nx ~alias/outmail/seriallock
/usr/local/bin/maildirsmtp ~alias/outmail alias-outmail- [IP of the
upstream mail server] `hostname`
Where ~alias/outmail is the Maildir where the outgoing messages get
sent.
-How does serialmail "choose" which mails in the Maildir to sent first?
By filename? By timestamp? How?
In case you are wondering, yes, the leftover mails do have envelope
senders in the right format, that is, "Delivered-To:
alias-outmail-user@domain".
Anyone can help?

is anyone familiar with the use of the ETRN command? if i telnet into the
isp mail server on port 25 and issue EHLO mailserver.co.za it replies with:-
250-xxxx.xxxx.xx.xx Hello xxxx.xxxxxxx.xx.xx [xxx.x.xx.x6]
250-SIZE 15728640
250-ETRN
250-PIPELINING
250 HELP
is the size the size of queued mail waiting to come down? When the server is
receiving mailo from the ISP is it normal for it to become extremely slow to
the point where client cannot connect - it has plenty of hair under the
bonnet?
Thanks,
Richard.

There were several people running into this within the last few weeks; the
trick there turned out to be raising the memory limits on qmail-smtpd
IIRC -- Perl wouldn't fit into the current limits. See your smtpd
start script/run script.

I seem to recall the others had to raise it to at least 6MB to get it to work.
This should be in the archives in the last month; I believe the subject had
something to do with Amavis, although probably with different case.

I installed the pop that comes with qmail, and found two things:
1) the authdaemond.plain wasn't running, or
2) the authdaemond.ldap was running, but I had no ldap daemon.
In either case, I editted the /usr/local/libexec/authlib/authdaemond script
so that it didn't try to run the ldap version, and my problems went away.

Neither of those files has anything to do with a stock qmail. In particular,
stock qmail doesn't know LDAP from its elbows. The default authorization
method for qmail-pop3d is checkpassword, shipped separately.

you didn't. authdaemond is part of courier imap and you surely have

I have installed Qmail on a Linux box at may home.
I have DSL and a 4 port router using NAT to direct
all SMTP and POP3 traffic to the Linux box.
I set up qmail and pop3 without any problem (or at
least is all seems to work), but I keep getting the
following error on the console...
IP_MASQ: reverse ICMP: failed checksum from 4.0.84.250
Am I loosing (bouncing) mail when this happens?
Any ideas on how to fix it?
TIA
Bill
Greetings
I have checked through lwq and qmail-howto and tried to search the
archives for the answer to this question. Searching the archives didn't
work for me because of a blasted firewall...so, my apologies if this has
been asked a billion times before:
How do I rewrite a domain name on some incoming mail before passing it on?
For instance, the company I'm working for used to receive its mail at
mail.aaa.com. Now it only wants aaa.com. This is not a virtual
domain. Currently, they use a special sendmail rule to rewrite
mail.aaa.com to aaa.com before forwarding the mail to the exchange
server. How would I accomplish this with qmail?
Thank you
Ben
Thx for the info. What I was curious about was also how qmail
scales. For example, it requires patches sometimes. Apparently with
large mailinglists the bigtodo patch is needed. Or it apparently
needs the dns patch.
In other words, qmail does not seem be uptodate as new requirements
come up. I have a nagging feeling that Dan will not deal with qmail
anymore, and perhaps he will concentrate on im2000 instead---or leaves
email alone.
It seems that as far as sysadm books are concerned, qmail is already
buried. For example, the new edition of the Nemeth et all book barely
mentions qmail, and discusses only postfix configuration. The same
with the newest ( I forgot the author; endorsed by Raymond) Linux
security book.

My question is too fundamental for all you qmail experts, but please reply
anyway. I am a newbie. I installed qmail on a RH 6.2 LINUX system by
following step-by-step guidelines of QMAIL-HOWTO ( I have also consulted
Life with Qmail).
Two questions:
1) Where do I install qmail-pop3 script (the one which runs under
"tcpserver"). In Life With Qmail (page 39) it indicates to add the script
"to your qmail startup script"!! Well it is good for all of you but I have
not been able to figure out where to add it!!
2) When I try to setup Outlook to connect and receive email, I get an error
message saying that the User Name/Password is invalid! Do you think the
problem may be carried over from item# 1.
I may have a problem explaining. Please let me know if I can further clarify
(English is my third language).

I changed directory to /var/log/qmail and noticed it has only kept logs
since the 2nd of March. Is it possible to rotate the logs monthly and stop
qmail from creating new log files twice per day?
Thankyou.
hi
i released isoqlog version 1.5
what is isoqlog :
Isoqlog is an qmail log analysis program written in perl .
it designed to scan qmail logfile and produce usage statistics in HTML
format. for viewing through a browser. It produces Top domains
output according to Incoming , Outgoing , total mails and bytes, it keeps
your main domain mail statistics for per day and per month .
what is new :
-All codes are rewritten , now isoqlog is more functional
-multilog support has been given
-User based incoming mail top scores has been added for every your domain
that you define
-User based outgoing mail top scores has been added for every your domain
that you define
-User based total mail top scores has been added for every your domain
that you define
-User based byte top scores has been added for every your domain that
you define
-Domain based byte top scores has been added
- minus(-) mail values at top scores part is corrected
i strongly recommend redownload if you are using older versions of isoqlog
sample output
for sample output visit

Hi!
Im migrating from sendmail to qmail 1.03+fastfoward using mbox format
/var/spool/mail. The problem is that almost all of my users uses /tmp as
home and /dev/null as a fake shell and qmail is refusing to distribute
these mails... it wont give an error... it justs drop the mail. There is a
way that i can make qmail distribute these emails?

Hi-
qmail needs a non-world-writable location to place a user's email. If all
your users have /tmp as home, who owns /tmp/mbox???
You need to setup your user accounts properly with individual,
non-world-writabele home directories, or
use some other tool to locally deliver the mail.

Our qmail server receives all it's mail from a relay that does virus
scanning
etc. It then sends mail out to to various hosts. No MUA will speak directly
to
qmail.
We want qmail to rewrite the "reply to:" field for our users - from
[EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mail list archives suggest
enviroment variables to qmail-inject but this would appear to work only for
local users.
Can this be done? Ideas?
TIA

Where the hell do you get off telling people how to manage their email?

The line above shows you the email address it was trying to deliver to.
You'll notice that it is not a valid email address because the
domain name is not valid.
yahoogroups.com=20 is not a valid domain.

anyone have any short perl scripts they youwlid liek to forward to show
interaction with qmail envirmonment variable, logging to a file etc....
Everything works file (scripts) when echo-ing a string to the script...
but when trying to get them 'inline' for qmail to use... I get nothing.
Especially intereseted in qmail-qfilter scripts.

For security reason, can I disable shell in /etc/passwd for qmail users (qmails,
qmaill, ...ect,) setting the shell to /bin/false ?

/bin/false is a very silly idea. /nonexistent is much better.

Because depending on your /bin/false and /bin/sh implementation, it's
behaviour can be modified by toying with environment variables such as
ENV.
Remote exploits for accounts with /bin/false as shell have been seen
on bugtraq.
For the qmail accounts the risk should be small (they have * instead
of a crypted password) but do *you* trust all different programs doing
authentication on your system (ssh, telnet, rsh, whatever you use?)
Greetz, Peter.
if you are looking for a solution with only one entry in /etc/passwd you can
use vpopmail (http://www.vpopmail.cx)
-> 1 entry in /etc/passwd - everything runs under a single UID/GID
-> Support for Oracle, Sybase, Mysql, LDAP, /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow and
default cdb authentication storage
etc.
for more features, have a look at their page.

Hi,
I got qmail to work (thanks Peter) and installed qmail-pop3d with a single
UID according to Paul Gregg's instructions. However I must have made a dumb
mistake along the way (probably in inetd.conf) :
when trying to retrieve mail I get a
-ERR this user has no $HOME/Maildir
On the local machine :
telnet 192.168.1.1 110
<...>
-ERR this user has no $HOME/Maildir
telnet 127.0.0.1 110
<...>
-ERR this user has no $HOME/Maildir
HOWEVER if I run :
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup host.domain /bin/checkpoppasswd
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir
and then
telnet 192.168.1.1 110
the user is authorized and everything works fine !!!
Here is my inetd.conf line :
pop3 stream tcp nowait root /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup host.domain
/bin/checkpoppasswd /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir
The user does have a Maildir :
users/assign:
=domain-user:popuser:511:511:/var/qmail/pop/popboxes/domain/user/:::
.
There is a .qmail file and a Maildir directory both owned by the single UID
popuser
Thanks for your help
