You can use the .qmail file by creating an if/then pipe:

        |if grep 'foo@bar'; then bouncesaying 'I don't like you!'; fi

Of course, using procmail is easier. Either use procmail as your default
delivery method, or add '|preline procmail' to your user's dot-qmail file.

I would like to be able to stop recordio after a certain number of lines
and/or after the first empty line (end of headers) to be able to record
the headers of all messages in the logs, but not the bodies, and more
importantly, not the attachments.

Is there any way I could pipe the output from recordio through another
program in the midst of my /service/smtp/run script's series of pipes, or
should I write an external script / program to handle it?

Hi all,   our server lost power, after it came up, it accepts smtp, but when checking mail, it connects but then the server terminates the connection (it's as if the pop service isn't running)? the logs don't show anything either.   Thanks, Richard.

Is qmail-pop3d running?? What internet daemon (tcpserver, inetd or
xinted are the most common ones) are you using and is it running? How do
you start the service?? What happens if you try to start it by hand?

Hi everyone,
Linux RH 6.0 host+QMAIL(tcpserver+checkpassword)

I've got a sort of problem:
A client, triyng to connect to POP-3 server stays at CONNECTING TO
HOST...for about 40-70 sec. And then takes it's mail. Sometimes it
connects faster. Sometimes not.

What exactly should I look at to check it out?

wbr,
Vadim

Look for the msg number in your qmail log. The moment you see 'end msg
12345' (with the right number, ofcourse) it's done.

Greetz, Peter.

I suggest you to take a look at http://www.inter7.com and specially 
        - vpopmail
        - qmailadmin
        - sqwebmail

There're also mailing list for each of these sw packages.

The default checkpassword does this.  You can use any checkpassword 
replacement to provide additional functionality.

Check vmailmgr out; it's at vmailmgr.org.  There are web administration and
webmail addons available for it (oMail?).

It's an email virus.  You can find more information about it at
http://sexyfun.net .  And the badmailfrom file blocks by envelope sender,
which has nothing to do with the "From:" header in the email.

Your best solution is to educate your users, and to encourage them not to
use MUAs which are vulnerable to this crap.

This was the domain used in that "relay test".  Since it's one of your
domains, by definition it's not a relay.  I think the test itself is
probably bogus, although I haven't investigated it myself.

You may want to look at putting your rcpthosts into the morercpthosts.cdb
format -- with several hundred domains, it might (or might not) decrease
the overhead of starting up qmail-smtpd slightly.  It would be worth
measuring, anyway, to see if there's a difference.

Yes, it helped, and you're welcome.  Sorry if I came off a bit harsh;
it came on the tail end of fighting with a user who refused to provide the
information we asked for in trying to diagnose his problem.

Thanks.
Your explanation of tcpserver's initial role in the process, etc...
has helped put my mind at ease.

List,
Are there size limitations to the badmailfrom control file? I have over 100
user/hosts listed, yet some that are on the list are still getting through.

No, there are no limitations.

If some are getting through, your entries are not matching.

Hi All

I have a situation where emails sent to accounts on our qmail 1.03 server
randomly get regenerated so that multiple copies of the same identical email
are resent several times. The number repeated can range from a few to
several hundred and there seems to be no set pattern as to the time cycle
between each mail. The original mails have been sent from a variety of
different servers and platforms - MS and Unix.

For example the mail that Charles Cazabon sent as a reply to Bill
Luckett<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> to this list

Subject Re: Messages Won't Remove From Queue

on Wednesday 14/03/2001 15:05 I have now received as fourteen separate
instances at these times:

Wed 14/03/2001 15:39
Wed 14/03/2001 16:26
Wed 14/03/2001 17:31
Wed 14/03/2001 19.02
Wed 14/03/2001 20:35
Wed 14/03/2001 22.14
Thu 15/03/2001 00:08
Thu 15/03/2001 01:56
Thu 15/03/2001 00:08
Thu 15/03/2001 02:16
Thu 15/03/2001 04:38
Thu 15/03/2001 07:24
Thu 15/03/2001 10:09
Thu 15/03/2001 13:11

All mails are identical and I'm sure Charles is not resending the same mail.

Does anyone know why this should be happening or better still how to fix it
?

Many thanks for any help.

Steve

steve-

unfortunately, i can't tell you why this is happening, but the *exact* same
thing is happening to me.

when i started to capture all smtp sessions with recordio to see if that
gave any hints, i found that i had lots of these in my logs:

451 timeout

are you seeing he same thing?

Missing 250 after successfull DATA during the SMTP conservation??

It's not mail-1.traffic.co.uk is it?? It doesn't look like a qmail
server... It's hard for us to take a look at the server unless we know
which one it is :)

I see this too sometimes; it seems to be bursty.  I'll get lots of duplicates
for a day or two, then none for a week or three.  Dan has mentioned in the
past that packet loss on the UIC link during the day regularly hits 25% --
since list.cr.yp.to sits on that network, it might be not seeing the
successful response to the DATA command if the connection gets broken before
then, and therefore has to re-send the mail (and logging "possible dupe"
messages in Dan's logs).

I do note that the duplicates are generally received on weekdays during
North American office hours, and I only notice them on mail coming from
list.cr.yp.to -- not from other ezmlm-managed lists.

Perhaps djb himself could comment on whether the network saturation at
UIC is causing duplicates?

i take your point on packetloss / truncated SMTP conversations.  however,
i'm seeing this from many different domains, including hotmail and yahoo.  

one oddity:  so far, the dups all seems to come from domains that are using
qmail for outgoing mail.

Hi

We have had several instances of the repeating email syndrome and it seems
to be from all flavours of mail servers including Lotus Notes Release 5.0.3
(Intl) and MS Exchange which are being used for both incoming and outgoing
mail. Not to sure that this information helps though.

Thanks

Steve

FWIW We see this very, very, very rarely.  I've never seen it in email from 
this list.

Funny -- I just got this one twice. ;) I see this happening every so
often, and I concur with Charles mostly -- I see it more often from
list.cr.yp.to, but also occassionally from the FreeBSD mailing lists.
Consistently within North American office hours, 0800EST-1700PST or
thereabouts. Strange....

well... mailhost.otec.com and mx2.otec.com doesn't look like qmail

qmail implements help for SMTP but it's unimplemented on your server.

First let me say I have NEVER seen duplicates from this list (nor from
anywhere else, nor did one of our customers complain about dupes from qmail).
And we live on the other side of the big pond ;-)

Is this a message from the sender or from your smtpd?
If it's yours you might give
    control/timeoutsmtpd
a chance (default is 1200 seconds, see  "man qmail-smtpd").

Yep, me too. No duplicates ever, about 800km away from maex.

Maybe the problem is your own internet connection? overloaded, slow, packet
loss, ... ?

Maex suggestion of increasing smtptimeout may help then.

I know we were experiencing this problem once before.  And what it came down
to is the .qmail files.  Specifically if the .qmail-default was not setup
correctly it would send duplicates out.  Or if a .qmail file setup as an
alias to multiple people was setup incorrectly or included someone that no
longer had an account.  Everytime that I've experienced duplicate messages
on our server it has related back to one of those to items.

this is interesting:

we use dot-forward and fastforward.  here's .qmail-default:

| /var/qmail/bin/fastforward -d /etc/aliases.cdb

i looked at the users that were receiving dups, and pretty much all of them
had .qmail files.

Is there some type of confilct between .qmail and fastfoward, or is a just
a matter of having the .qmail files not including errors?

Thanks-

Dan

last week i think that there was a discussion about how to get tcpserver to 
log usernames from pop3d.  I can't find the message anywhere.  does anyone 
have the information on how to log the usernames with pop3d?

~kurth

---

---

tcpserver knows nothing about pop3d other than its a program that it calls
to do a job.  You might want to search the archives about adding more
logging information to pop3d itself or your chkpassword program.

If you do change them, make sure you don't break QSBMF -- Dan has documented

Yes, Alex, I *know* the documentation says it will do this. I was

The executeable bit serves as a sentinel telling multilog whether or
not the file was safely written to disk.

I have a request to not allow four users to send email externally but to
allow them to receive.  Ideally they would want them to be able to send to
internal users but if need be dis-allow all sending of email.   I am not
quite sure of the best way to approach this.  I thought about using ipchains
but was wondering if there is a control file that will do something of this
sort?

Thanks all...

# WHAT is checkHAB?
# checkHAB is based on checkattach script.
# The HAB stands for;
#       H for HTML formatted
#       A for Attachment
#       B for email with Begin 644 inside
# Basically, checkHAB is an extension of checkattach. Instead of
# executing three successive scripts to check for HTML formatted email,
# unwanted Attachment, and email with Begin 644. We just run one
# script to do the job. Thus, we have checkHAB. I use to have this
# three scripts to do the job because grep -e doesn't work as I
# wish it to do. I was able to combine this because I decided
# to use a temporary file within the script. If you have an idea
# on doing this without using a temp file then that would be great.

#############################################################
# For info on Filtering Attachments in qmail
# goto http://www.fehcom.de/qmail/filter.html
# I would like to thank Dr. Erwin Hoffmann for documenting this
# and his efforts to write CHECKSUBJ based on this script.
#############################################################

# INSTALLATION and USAGE:
# 1) Save this script as;    /usr/local/bin/checkhab
# 2) Make sure that there are _no_ ^M characters in the script.
#    I use gvim to check this. Or search for dedos.pl in the qmail
#    mailing list and use that to strip the ^M characters.     
# 3) Then;      chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/checkhab
# 4) Then;      chown root:qmail /usr/local/bin/checkhab
# 5) Then edit the user's .qmail file by adding the line;
#       |/usr/local/bin/checkhab
#    This must be _before_ the ./Maildir/

If it can be done, could you please point me to that URL?

Read up on tcpserver. That's the program that actually listens on the
interface. And yes, it can do it.

We currently use rblsmtpd to block mail based on RSS, DUL and RBL. What
I've wanted all along is a way for individual users to have this same
ability, rather than as a system-wide setting. Here's what I've come up
with, and I'd appreciate criticisms and comments from my fellow qmail
admins:

   http://www.vcnet.com/~jon/qmail-filter/

In a nutshell I use qmail-qfilter + rblcheck to add an extra header to
mail delivered through RBL-listed sites. The added header also contains
a ranking based on which lists it matched (as defined in the modified
rblcheck source I link to). Then, a dot-qmail called script scans the
message headers and rejects or accepts based on this ranking. The same
system could be used to flag suspected virus infected mail, but I haven't
gotten that far just yet.

Huge oversights, ways of making it more efficient, etc are welcomed. I
have NOT put this into production yet, but have tested it on a limited
basis.

Thanks,
jon

Sorry to follow up your announcement with mine ...

I've done something like that, start at
    http://www.lamer.de/maex/creative/software/ucspi-tcp/

It consists of 3 parts:
1) is a modification to rblsmtpd that allows to define "tags" for
   RBLs. Each tag of a RBL that had a hit for that IP is put blank
   delimited into an evironment var RBLID
2) is a modification to qmail-smtpd
   it checks for RBLID env var and inserts one line per RBL tag into
   the header of the received mail like:
       X-RBL-Check: MAPS-RSS
       X-RBL-Check: MAPS-DUL
3) is a mess822 package called 822xrblcheck
   you can put it into .qmail files and call it e.g. with
      |bouncesaying "no messages from blacklisted hosts accepted" 
/path/to/822xrblcheck MAPS-RSS

Hi...

   I have vpopmail installed, and now I want to use maildrop to reject, block,
bounce, etc. mails with certain subject or content.
   Where can I find some info to do this? I just found some examples using
   sendmail, also I read that maildrop uses the file '$HOME/.mailfilter' but
in my vpopmail case I don't have a $HOME directory... where should I put the
filters?

   Another thing, is there a way to show the reason of undelivered mails? Not
via logs.

   TIA.

qmail does not have native mbx support. However, grab the imap-utils package
(from the same place as uw-imap) and drop the dmail program in your .qmail
file
to deliver to your mbx mailbox. See "man dmail" for more information.

I just installed qmail1.03-i386.rpm on my RedHat6.0(kernel 2.2.9)
It seems SMTP is not working properly. When I try to send e-mail by pine.
 It complained "SMTP greeting failure: 421 SMTP connection went away".
 
 IF I try to telnet localhost 25, here is the response
 telnet localhost 25
 Trying 127.0.0.1...
 Connected to localhost.
 Escape character is '^]'.
 Connection closed by foreign host.

When i Checked the /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd status
it showed 
220 hostname ESMTP
502 unimplemenetd (#5.5.1)

Something seems to bind the port but it doesn't forward inbound
connections to qmail.

Is inetd.conf broken?? Does /etc/inetd.conf have a line that begins with
''smtp'' -- what does it look like?? The RPM might use tcpserver. Is it  
running, try ''ps axw | grep tcpserver'' and send us the output.

hi,
 There I have a question. Can I set qmail so that it can relay mails for some special 
users? Of cause ,the special user include maillist.
 Example:
   Qmail can only relay mails, and senders of mail are in a special file. That special 
file is created by mail master.
 Thanks.

I've created the system-aliases (/var/qmail/alias/):

-re-r--r-- 1 root root .qmail-root
-re-r--r-- 1 root root .qmail-postmaster
-re-r--r-- 1 root root .qmail-MAILER-DAEMON

Each has the same contenets: the username 'eric' but qmail doesn't forward 
the messages to the $HOME/Mailbox in /home/eric.

/var/log/maillog has the error message "Sorry,_no_mailbox_here... (#5.1.1)"

Any thoughts?

Well... isn't that obvious -- qmail doesn't see any mailbox :) How did
you tell qmail to deliver the mail? What does the ''qmail-lspawn''
process look like??

1) Is 'eric' an existing username?
2) Is 'eric' able to receive e-mails addressed to him directly 
([EMAIL PROTECTED])? Does he have the proper mailbox
    as mentioned  in his .qmail file (or the default delivery one)?

Ahmad:

Yes - 'eric' is an existing username.
Yes - 'eric' is able to receive mail sent to 'eric', 'eric@charlie', 
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]', & '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' in the Mailbox in 
/home/eric.

Yes - 'eric' is an existing username.
Yes - 'eric' is able to receive mail sent to 'eric', 'eric@charlie', 
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]', & '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' in the Mailbox in 
/home/eric.

Well, that's a wonder.  Are you sure that you use Mailbox everywhere else? 
$HOME/Mailbox is an mbox file, right?

Ahmad:

I don't understand. The Mailbox file in /home/eric receives messages for the 
user 'eric'. The system-alias file /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-root contains 
'eric'. Mail messages bound for [EMAIL PROTECTED] should go directly to 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] - Shouldn't they?

Do you suppose that qmail may be actually looking for a ~Mailbox file for 
root?

Yes, a /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-root file containing eric will forward mails 
for root to user eric. qmail itself will not send mails to
uid 0 (root).

Any comments, Masters?

True

You gave us a snippet from the log earlier:
>/var/log/maillog has the error message "Sorry,_no_mailbox_here... (#5.1.1)"

Was that for root or eric??

Hi,

It could be that /var/qmail/users/assign is set up wrong.
Read qmail-lspawn(8) and qmail-users(5).

Bye,

Joost

Hi,

I've set all up according to lwq.
/var/log/qmail/current logs that 
local delivered mails to _user_
will be delivered. Pine don't complains
about a misconfiguered inbox et al.
But there won't be messages sent to _user_
in the inbox. I read all I could get, but it
wont work. How to carry on troubleshooting?

Thanks TOm

How do you check the messages? By checking the contents of the user's mailbox
or using Pine? If you use maildir format for your mailbox, you won't be 
able to use
Pine out of the box. You need to patch (check www.qmail.org), to 
'reinstall' and to
configure it appropriately.

Check inbox path in pine. I had this on freebsd where pine was checking
/var/spool/mail instead of /var/mail I solved this by making a symlink
from /var/spool/mail to /var/mail.

Since I had no reply, I try re-posting with a new subject line.

I cannot believe nobody knows the reason of this problem, but the only 
reply I got so far was from someone who had the problem but then switched 
to courier-imap. There must be a simpler solution, since I don't need IMAP.
