"When you move a file from new to cur, you have to change its name from uniq to uniq:info." To me that implies that a file in new cannot have an "info" section. > You *have* to change the name when the file move from new/ to cur/ , but > there is no specification of other cases; in fact, lots of MUA's will change > info when the file has been in cur/ for a while: mutt, for example, moves > the file from new/ to cur/, adds :2, and only modifies that to be 2,S after > the user has read the message (it is no longer 'N'ew). Right, but that's my point. To specify another case. Regards.

'hurts writing performance' (although you are right :) also means 'increases resource use', in whatever way. Measuring in wall-clock time, the performance hit is probably negligible indeed.

Something like that, yes. My last job involved building custom SMTP and POP3 servers from scratch. I stored messages in a quasi-maildir-ish folder scheme, and left the CRLF linebreaks intact. Since there were no local users on this box, there was no need to worry about local MUA's, and everything ran smoothly. I would think that it probably wouldn't be too much trouble to rig an MUA to look for CRLFs, so that it could coexist in this environment if need be. ---Kris Kelley

All the crons I've seen only let you run a job at most, once per minute. How did you get cron to run something once per second? If the job runs at most once per minute, it's hard to imagine how it would consume all available resources such that qmail stopped delivering.

Regards.
Mark, Thank you for pointing out my error. The process was in fact running once per minute. I do agree regarding the previous post for systematic elimination of other possible problems, I was simply showing what might occur from stupid typographical errors on the part of user/sysadmin.

Seth: Many thanks!!! That's definitely an improvement: qmail now starts quietly and runs in the background. What's left: To correctly report the status of starting-up. There may not be anything that can be done though. I guess that this functionality must come from the qmail-start binary? (It's possible to execute /var/qmail/rc multiple times thus effectively executing /var/qmail/bin/qmail-start multiple times without any complaint that qmail is already running. Eric P.

Answer: Set QUEUE_EXTRA to "Tlog\0" and QUEUE_EXTRALEN to 5 in extra.h. Recompile qmail. Put ./msg-log into ~alias/.qmail-log.
You can also use QUEUE_EXTRA to, e.g., record the Message-ID of every message: run
| awk '/^$/ { exit } /^[mM][eE][sS][sS][aA][gG][eE]-/ { print }'from ~alias/.qmail-log.

I've posted several questions to this list recently on this topic, none of which have been satisfactorily answered. I apologize for any redundancy. The root of my problem is that my mail wrapper seems to be malfunctioning. Neither /usr/sbin/sendmail -- from OBSD 2.8's default install of Sendmail -- or /var/qmail/bin/sendmail seem to work at all. When I point a popular Perl script at them (FormMail.pl), the script executes but produces nothing in /var/log/maillog. How can I test my mailwrapper for functionality? Would it be possible to reinstall the mailwrapper without reinstalling all of qmail if I find it's not functional? Are there any config files I need to be checking? Thanks for your help.

Don't use BSD's mailwrapper. It's terribly unreliable. Put symlinks in place as the qmail docs tell you. Greetz, Peter.

I've only got to the question about mailwrappers because that's where I was led in search of a fix for this problem. The script, by default, calls the mail program as /usr/lib/sendmail, which didn't work; I've been toying around with everything from a symlinked /usr/sbin/sendmail to /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject, and none of those work.

Users who use mbox can't check via pop. Users who need pop can also read locally, but only using maildir-aware tools (like mutt). -- David Dyer-Bennet / Welcome to the future! / [EMAIL PROTECTED] SF: http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/ Minicon: http://www.mnstf.org/minicon/ Photos: http://dd-b.lighthunters.net/

Check your DNS and ident lookup options for the tcpserver instance invoking qmail-pop3d. This is a FAQ.

Maybe you need to be more specific :) Do you mean something other than: $ grep user@somedomain * $ tai64nlocal < current | less $ egrep '.*from.<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.*' current $ egrep '.*to.<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.*' @* | tai64nlocal ... or the like ?

Hi, I read the archive and the INSTALL.mbox file and can't convince Pine opening my localy delivered mails. I assume that the delivery will work: @400000003aad24ea1bd07db4 info msg 224657: bytes 204 from <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> qp 10101 uid 0 @400000003aad24ea1c292cd4 starting delivery 1: msg 224657 to local [EMAIL PROTECTED] @400000003aad24ea1c297edc status: local 1/10 remote 0/20 I put ./Mailbox in my defaultdelivery and in pine the inbox-path=Mailbox, how it is assumed in INSTALL.mbox. I made the symbolic link from /var/spool/mail/tom to /$HOME/Mailbox and /var/spool/mail is 1777. What Am I missing? Assuming that the pine patch is only necessary if I wanna use Maildir. Thanks Tom
I set : mail-directory=Maildir in /usr/local/lib/pine.conf.fixed....I guess you would need to set it to Mailbox? I do not set the inbox-path (not sure why you would for maildirs, anyone know?), works fine for pine4.32 with patch-for-maildirs -- Regards, Jason Kawaja, UF-ECE Sys Admin

>I've tried to edit my pine config before, >but - believe me - there isn't any config at all. ok, so create one... and like I said, you can put in Mailbox instead of Maildir system wide configs (like this) should go either in /usr/local/lib/pine.conf or /usr/local/lib/pine.conf.fixed -- Regards, Jason Kawaja, UF-ECE Sys Admin

Thomas: There are two configuration files for pine: The personal configuration file: $HOME/.pinerc and The system-wide configuration file: /etc/pine.conf (location may vary by distro.)

The answer to this question is somewhat counterintuitive but it is in INSTALL.mbox file: * pine: Put "inbox-path=Mailbox" in your system-wide pine.conf... I followed the example given in the pine.conf comments - "...default is the local INBOX (/usr/spool/mail/$USER)" - and added "inbox-path=$HOME/Mailbox". Eric P.

Hi, I'm trying to use qtools to filter message. I've tried: | condtomaildir ./Maildir/.Listas.qmail iftoccfrom [EMAIL PROTECTED] It is working, but now I would like to check if the subject contains [ORACLE], then send to message to .Listas.oracle folder. How can I do this? Thanks, Ari
I'm moving all mail hosting from one server to another. I will stop SMTP on server 1, move users & mail to server 2, change DNS, start SMTP on server 2. However, any mail sent in the time server1 is not receiving mail will be remotely QUEUED. I don't want the mail to be ultimately delivered on server1 ever again, because the users will be checking server2. When a message is remotely queued, when it tries to resend does it requery for MX record? If so, would this solve my problem? Or, How do I need to setup qmail on server1 to relay messages on to server2. Set them up in rcpthosts but not in virtualdomains? Thanks for the help.

Instead, set up server 2 now, and have it send all mail for your domain to server 1 (if you want to keep serving users out of that machine) using smtproutes. Then, once DNS changes have had a chance to propagate, you can have server 2 handle the mail locally, and switch your users over. > Or, How do I need to setup qmail on server1 to relay messages on to server2. > Set them up in rcpthosts but not in virtualdomains? If it's in rcpthosts but not locals or virtualdomains, it will do this by MX. You'll probably want to add an smtproutes entry to get it to send the mail to server 2.

Just an FYI to the group, this is what we've come up with for one of our clients' configurations of qmail-notify. qmail-notify notifies senders that their E-mail did not reach the intended recipient within a certain amount of time and optionally CC's the network administrator (which it is configured to do in this case): -x- Your message has been received by %s but has been undeliverable to the listed recipients for at least %s. The mail system will continue to attempt to deliver your message to these recipients for a total of %s. Your network administrator is aware of this situation. This message is for your information; you do not need to resend your message at this time. If the message below is time-critical, consider faxing or calling the intended recipient. You will be notified again only if this message ultimately fails to reach one or more of the recipients. Recipient(s): -x- This _may_ finally be verbose enough to keep the users from E-mailing their mail administrator with "Julie didn't get my E-mail yet!" -- Michael T.

Jesús Arnáiz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Can I found some problems if i move /var/qmail directory to another > localization? It's easy to change where you want to install qmail _before_ you do it, by changing conf-home. If you mean you want to move qmail after having already installed it, it will take some additional work. You'll have to recompile qmail anyways, or put in symlinks from the old locations to the new ones. In addition, you'll have to either empty your queue before the move, or fix the queue afterwards.

Are any mailer daemons case sensitive with regards to the username? Qmail lets through any case username. Thanks.

It's finally done. As you can see in my previous mail I've used the -R and - -H options to tcpserver because they're usually suggested to such a problem (after digging a while). I just added the -l option and my server is now responsive fast enough. I guess I didn't dig long enough. Thanks.

Maybe I'm just going crazy, but I am having stupid troubles with qmail-pop3d. I've got a server which has an NFS export (exporting /nfs/mail to *, with rw, no_root_squash). I've got another server which mounts this NFS share in the same location (/nfs/mail). Both servers are using NIS and have exactly the same user information on both, and nsswitch.conf both use nis first when looking for passwd and group. Both servers start POP3 via: /usr/local/bin/tcpserver 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup \ bigbird.domain.com /usr/local/bin/checkpassword \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir & Both servers appear to authenticate me without any problems when I open a POP3 session, but only the one that has the NFS share locally actually shows any mail. On both servers, I can type 'ls ~brett_remote/Maildir/new' (assuming brett_remote is the username that is stored remotely but accessed via an NFS share), and I can see all the new mail. But the POP3 daemon on the remote machine shows that I have no mail. For those that are wondering, the `remote' machine is a server located in another part of the city in another set of offices. We allow external pop access (ie REALLY external, like when they dial into another ISP overseas) for all our staff, no matter which offices they are located in, as long as they point their mail software to one single POP3 server. This POP server then goes and grabs the mail via NFS for the user. This is where the trouble is coming in. Does anybody know why I would be able to access e-mail from the real server, but not another one mounting it as an NFS share? I've never had this problem before which is why I think I am going crazy... And all the permissions are fine. That's not likely to be the problem since the same NIS maps are on both servers.
