Hello,
I've installed qmail from memphis rpms found at www.qmail.org
I need to scan my qmail log files for generating an html report. Since
this rpms use multilog, I am using isoqlog for getting my job done. But
the Install files says that you need to feed this in qmail-send log
directory. There is no qmail-send in /var/service. there is only
qmail/log, qmail-smtpd/log and qmail-pop3d/log.
Now how do I go about generating a report .. are these rpm installation
to blame :(
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Regards
Sumith

qmail/log is the one you want.

Thanks dave...
I figured it out just after posting this mail to the list :)
What would be the best qmail - log anlyzer to use which would work with
multilog
Thanks a lot

This is considered rude. If you don't get a reply the first time, it means
that no one is interested in answering your question. This could be because
you have asked a FAQ, or appear to have not done sufficient research before
posting to the list.

This is probably one of the reasons no one has answered your question -- you're
using inetd and tcpd -- both of which have been deprecated for qmail for
ages. Switch to tcpserver. Then if you have problems, people here might
be able to help you.

Why are you running with inetd anyway? It might be something in the way
your logging is setup.
I would make the switch to tcpserver (check out www.lifewithqmail.org for
help)
No one knows the reason for your problem because you haven't given enough
information, you reposted the exact same post. If we couldn't figgure it
out the first time, we can't figgure it out the second time with the same
info.
My guess would be either your logging is screwed up, or you really do have
imap running but you don't know it.

Subject: Why does POP3 log "inetd ... exit status 1"
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.

It is Life with Qmail which I used for help in my setup. It says:
"Typically, qmail-popup is run via inetd or tcpserver"
"For a busier service, use tcpserver instead."
So using inetd seems right in my case.
> It might be something in the way your logging is setup.
Logging seems to be doing what I expect. Like in this case, reporting a
non-zero exit code.
But why does qmail-pop3d (or is it checkpassword?) exit with "1"?
>My guess would be either your logging is screwed up, or you really do have

I'm quite sure I have nothing else listening on that port:
# grep "^ *pop" /etc/inetd.conf
pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /opt/qmail/bin/qmail-popup
net1.alma.ch /opt/qmail/bin/checkpassword /opt/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir
poppassd stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd poppassd

qmail-* was compiled from sources (1.03) without patches.
checkpassword also, version 0.90.
In case that matters, I'm not using qmail for smtp (but postfix), only
qmail-popup for pop3.
Well, what else can I say? I wouldn't have thought my problem to be so
esoteric.
Any clues are still welcome!
Thank you,

Use tcpserver just like LWQ suggests.....

tcpserver works better than inetd for not-so-busy cases, too :)

Does Postfix deliver to maildirs or Unix mailboxes? If not to maildirs,
then qmail's pop3 service can't possibly work. That might explain your
exit 1.

On the contrary, people subscribed to this list and running Postfix are
an extremely rare breed!

It does deliver to Maildir, and that's how I have it configured.

But it does work correctly. That's why I'm annoyed to see exit 1 in the
logs, since everything works.

But I doubt postfix has anything to do with it. It does not include a pop
or imap server, and actually recommends qmail-pop3d in it's doc.
Too bad I don't know C to look at the source and see what would trigger an
exit 1...
Well, thank you for trying to help anyway.

shouldn't anything in /var/qmail/alias be owned by alias:qmail ?
can alias actually get into /var/qmail/alias/ and read the .qmail-root ?

Try the following (to the OP):
echo "&[EMAIL PROTECTED]" > ~alias/.qmail-root
and then try to deliver to root.
If that works, either me or defaulthost/defaultdomain is probably not correct...

Greg:
It doesn't seem to matter what I put in alias/.qmail-root - The messages
just come back with the error:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Sorry, no mailbox herre by that name. (#5.1.1)
(I did try &[EMAIL PROTECTED], though.)

Finally there is a tool to convert outlook mailstores to unix format
(mbox). One downside is that it only runs in windows (they get ya comin'
and goin'). It could be modified to alternatively output to maildir, or
the mbox2maildir script could just be ran afterwards as part of the mail
server upgrade process.

Hello.
Does zsenders's output includes also addresses from which mail is
still in queue ?? I ask because I looked into matchup's output and
there was the address included, but zsender's output didn't ...

X-UIDL: [`I"!]LB"!e%)"!Je,"!
The X-NAV-TimeoutProtection0: X refers to Norton Antivirus email protection.
I have had email repeaters on machines with this switched off however.
So far I have received twenty seperate instances of this email.
We restarted our qmail server last night explicitly adding to
control/timeoutsmtpd a value of 1200
as per the mail by \Maex
Unfortunately I had another email account experience a repeat in excess of
47 emails today alone from a Hotmail account. I hope I'm missing something
really simple, any help much appreciated.
Thanks
Steve

1200 is the default. So setting this to 1200 won't change anything ;-)
btw. you do not need to restart qmail, this file is read by every invocation
of qmail-smtpd (i.e. on every new connection).
I have looked at the code of qmail-smtpd.c
The 451 timeout is issued by the receiver if it doesn't get any
infos from the sender within timeout (=1200 default or from
timeoutsmtpd).
- the message seems to have arrived successfully (including CRLF.CRLF)
otherwise the receiver wouldn't have it correctly in queue.
At that point if the connection breaks the mail will be delivered.
(if there where no local filesystem problems, message size problems,
too many hops or the like).
- Then the receiver sends back the "250 ok tstamp qp pid".
This tells the sender that the message was received ok.
And it looks like this code never arrives at the sender.
Would all of you that have the problems mind makeing a test and
inserting an explicit
flush();
call in qmail-smtpd.c in function acceptmessage() as the last statement.
This *should* not be needed, as the data command has a flush entry ...
What *really* puzzels me is that saferead() spits out an error to the
sender before closing, but safewrite() simply does an _exit(1).
Maybe inserting some error output could also help tracking down the
problem.

Hi Markus,
I see where you are coming from with this, but I don't think that is the
problem. We've checked with the senders and their firewalls only log ONE
outbound connection to us. If the 250 OK was not being sent, the sender's
SMTP gateway would make multiple connections (one for each repeated
message). This being the case, it does look like a local problem - but I
can't seem to find the message anywhere!
We'll investigate further (in case the sender's firewall were not being
totally honest ;)).
Thanks!
Shash

Are you using tcpserver w/ the -x option? if so, make sure your
tcprules-created-file exists and is noted after the x in the tcpserver
startup script.

I'm experiencing something very similar: When telnet'ing to port 25 of
localhost (i.e., `telnet localhost 25`) I also receive the message
"Connection closed by foreign host." but not an entry in /var/log/messages.
My configuration is slightly different: My RH-7.0 uses xinetd so the
/etc/xinetd.d/smtp file has this entry (from the xinetd FAQ page:
http://www.xinetd.org/faq.html#qmail)...
service smtp
{
flags = REUSE NAMEINARGS
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = qmaild
server = /usr/sbin/tcpd
server_args = /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env -R
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
}
...and the /etc/hosts.allow file has a single entry...
ALL:ALL
Local delivery works between users though system-aliases (e.g., .qmail-root)
do not.
Please help.

This could have been taken off list, but for some reason you felt
the need to include...
It's not that I don't know what to write... There are so many aspects of
myself that are marketable I do not know which aspects/properties OTHER
people consider important (e.g. what you would list on YOUR resume)
Obviously you've nothing to contribute... I hope you don't have to look
for a new job soon...

No, it looks something like

http://www.qmail.org/advo.html

It's not quite clear what you mean here. If you mean you want to install
the big-todo patch to qmail, go to www.qmail.org; links to the patch are
there.

I'm assuming the best way to implement a backup mail server that will queue
mail in the event of a problem with the best MX would be to set the backup
server as 2nd MX (obviously), and then add all the appropriate domains to
rcpthosts.
Will that cause mail to be cached automatically, or is it necessary to add
them to smtproutes additionally?
Thanks

Nope, just rcpthosts. The second machine will forward them on to the
best-preference MX automatically when it's reachable.

FWIW:
After reading more of the error message, I learned that I had not installed
the gcc when installing RH-7.0. After much frustration and pain, I succeeded
in installing the gcc and compiling qmail.

I realize this may sound like a silly question, but I'm trying to wrap my
head around the whole virtual users facility, and am trying to understand
whether I can set up virtual users without also setting up virtual
domains.
In my current setup, all account are real users delivered to
codegnome.org. I'm also interested in setting up virtual users (i.e. users
without a login account) that are still part of the same domain as the
real users (e.g. codegnome.org). Is this possible, and if so, can the
virtual users and real users all get their pop mail from the same pop
daemon?
