I patched rblsmtpd adding an option -T who set RELAYCLIENT to option argument
when the host is in rbl (instead of starting it's limited smtp server.)
Then I can use virtualdomain support to catch all messages coming from a
spam source. See:
http://www.troppoavanti.it/qmail/ucspi-tcp-0.88-rblsmtp.rbltrap-0.1.patch
(Currently untested - I don't use it in production servers)

OK, let me change my request for info.. What do *their* mail log files
indicate? If I were a betting man, I would bet money that as soon as
you find out what is being logged, you won't need help from this list
to determine the problem. Unfortunately, many ISP's are admin'd by
young wanna-be's who don't know their ass from a hole in the ground
and got their job by fast talking (if you can't dazzle 'em with
brilliance, baffle 'em with bullshit). Don't for a minute think that
just because they have large clients, they have competent help.
In your original post you asked:
One reason I am still uncomfortable; if my isp (local but handles
several large companies and thousands of dial-up) who has so much more
experience running qmail than I can't figure out a "mysterious" bouce
problem, how will I cross that bridge?
I believe you will be able to cross that bridge with ease because you
will have access to *all* the info you need to identify where your
problem lies. And once the root of a problem is exposed, the solution
becomes apparent.

Okay, so far, so good. How about the following:
`ls -ld ~fasttrack ~fasttrack/.qmail*`
Also, what are the permissions on every directory between ~fasttrack and / ?
Then, the contents of every .qmail* file in fasttrack's homedir.
I do not recall the original error message -- was it "No mailbox here by
that name" or "This user has no HOME/Maildir", or what?

Hi,
All of the addresses for fasttrack map to a local user 'fast.trevor.wright'.
If mail is sent directly to this user it arrives without a hitch. This
proves that the entry in the database is correct and the .qmail file is
doing it's thing.
For the record the file permissions are as follows:
[root@hermes-1 /root]# ls -ld / /home /home/fas /home/fas/fast.trevor.wright
/home/fas/fast.trevor.wright/.qmail*
drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 4096 Feb 28 17:00 /

Okay, not quite what I asked for. Your virtualdomains entry for
fastrack-assoc.com was "fasttrack-..."; I assumed it was a local user
"fasttrack" handling the domain. Apparently not. If not, it must be
alias.
You've proved 'fast.trevor.wright' can receive mail; the problem is therefore
between alias and that user. Post the ownership, permissions, and
contents of every file matching "~alias/.qmail-fasttrack*".

Ok, let me clear something up.........the only .qmail file that a user has
is in their home directory. This file contains './Maildir/.
In /var/qmail/alias there several files none of which affect the domain in
question. '.qmail-default' contains '| fastforward -d /etc/aliases.cdb' .
ALL aliases for virtual domains and local addresses e.g. postmaster, root
etc live in /etc/aliases.........this may not be the best method, but it
works...too much like sendmail eh 8-(( .
The original error message was "No mailbox here by that name".
The file permissions for all things /var/qmail/alias/.qmail*
[root@hermes-1 /root]# ls -ld /var /var/qmail /var/qmail/alias

You're omitting information. The name of this file is critical; if the
user controls a virtualdomain, ".qmail" in their home directory won't
control mail in the virtual domain, while ".qmail-default" will.

Sorry, then, but I can't help you. I don't use fastforward, and never have.
I don't think it's particularly common among qmail administrators to handle
a virtualdomain that way, but I could be wrong.

So, there is the wonderful checkpasswd util.
There is a patch which lets it work with the cdb databases (which correct
me if I'm wrong, but will let me have one user with 4000 mailboxes and
this should let each "virtual user" get to their own mail)
There is a patch to add PAM support for password lookups, which I will
need since my users will not have /etc/passwd entries.
There is a patch to do MD5, so the users can securly send their password
for POP and SMTP AUTH transactions.
So, that is three patches I can think of that I need. Something has me
worried that they are gonna start interferring.
Is there a definitive way to:
- allow SMTP_AUTH and POP passwd checking with secure/MD5 passwords
and
- allow each user to have their own mail directory under something like
/var/spool/maildirs so I do not need a system account for each user
and
- allow checkpasswd to do it's password lookups via PAM
I'll admit I'm probably missing the obivious, but I feel like I'm in
Middle Earth here looking for the One Ring to bind them all.
Thanks!

A lot of things can be accomplished without patches, because qmail is so
modular.

Both vmailmgr and vpopmail give this capability. I don't know much about
vpopmail, but vmailmgr does it without any patches to qmail.
> - allow checkpasswd to do it's password lookups via PAM
There is a PAM patch to checkpassword 0.81. It doesn't apply cleanly to
0.90.

When qmail-local forwards a message as instructed in
.qmail-ext (or .qmail-default), it checks whether
.qmail-ext-owner exists. If so, it uses local-
owner@domain as the envelope sender for the forwarded mes--
sage. Otherwise it retains the envelope sender of the
original message.
Oh, great. here's a line from my virtualdomains file:
netdesign.se:salo
in ~salo/.qmail-filip:
./Maildir/
&[EMAIL PROTECTED]
in ~salo/.qmail-filip-owner:
&[EMAIL PROTECTED]
A message is recieved for [EMAIL PROTECTED], delivered locally to
salo-filip, which puts the message in my maildir and forwards a copy to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] The envelope sender for the forwarded message is set to
[EMAIL PROTECTED], just as the docs say ("local" is salo-filip).
But it makes no sense. If the delivery fails, the bounce message will be
sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and the delivery instructions will be
sought for in ~salo/.qmail-salo-filip-owner, which doesn't exist. Good job.
The -owner files render themselves completely useless.
Also, any message sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] will have "Delivered-To:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]" in the header, which is confusing.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] would be "correct". As would
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (the "me" control file says
kepler.netdesign.se).
In short -- qmail handles deliveries to virtual domains/users exactly the
way the docs say (as far as I can tell). But what the docs say is just plain
stupid.

Delivered-To is there primarily for loopdetection. It also happens to
be useful for multidrop pop3, and serialmail. Strip off the prefix and
you know the address.

So create ~salo/.qmail-salo-filip-owner or ~salo/.qmail-salo-default.

To whom? Delivered-To fields are there for loop detection, if users
look at them, they should understand how they work.

You're certainly entitled to your opinion, but calling the current,
documented behavior incorrect is misleading.

Well, that's what I've done. Works like a charm. But what if there was a
salo@ address(and/or salo-filip@ with a corresponding -owner file)? Many
problems can be worked around, but that's rarely a good permanent solution.

So is the current, documented behavior.

Sure. But while it's there, why not make it as useful as possible? I'm not
saying that there's anything wrong with the way Delivered-To lines are
written today. I'm only suggesting something that I think would be a better
solution.

Sure, I can do that. But only if I already know that I'm dealing with a
virtual domain.

Let me withdraw that comment. Delivered-To is obviously not the appropriate
header for showing the envelope recipient. I don't know what I was thinking.
Sorry.

You were thinking the exactly same thing that I was when I first encountered
this header. I think that showing the envelope recipient per default would
have been "a good thing". Possible through patching, of course.

Hi Martin , Qmail List Users
thanks for your earlier help.
Anyway, it seems there is some problem here with the SMTP instead.
Here is the error i received while trying to send an email vis SMTP.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The message could not be sent because one of the recipients was rejected by
the server. The rejected e-mail address was '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'.
Subject 'sdasdsadsd', Account: 'mentortech.org.sg', Server:
'mentortech.org.sg', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '553 sorry, that
domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1)', Port: 25,
Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 553, Error Number: 0x800CCC79
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I understand that if i added a listing in the rcpthosts for a certain
domain, let's say hotmail.com, it should work for that domain. But my
problem is that, what if i want a user to be able to send an email to
anybody he wants. Does that mean, that i have to add a list of all that
domains?? Well, this sounds a little stupid as there are thousands of
domains listed on the web. Imagine adding each and everyone of them !!
My another concern is security. I acually want to be able to allow only
authenticated users to use my SMTP server as i don't think it would be good
if some guy is able to hog my bandswidth by sending a huge file thru my SMTP
server. Is that possible to allow only users who have been authenticated
thru POP, to be able to use my SMTP server ??

Sunil

rcpthosts is not the mechanism you're looking for; what you want is selective
relaying, and is a FAQ. Check the mailing list archives for (hundreds of
copies of) the solution(s) to your problem.

All,
Inter7's website is down due to moving ISP's. I was wondering if anyone
had knowledge of, or possession of, mirror content of inter7.com? I'm
specifically seeking current releases of qmailadmin, vpopmail and vqadmin
(full and devel versions).
Even if someone could send me current copies to this address, or links to
copies, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
-CT

Sorry for posting to this list, but inter7 is down.
I have put the some of the items in question on my server :
http://212.179.48.82/inter7
if anyone has updates or missing items (like vqadmin) and can help me out,
please send them to me.
This is my first and last post on this matter.
Thank you

If anybody knows how to get in touch with Ken Jones or any of the other guys
over at Inter7, I'd be happy to mirror all the pages as well as the tarballs
for qmailadmin, sqwebmail, vpopmail, etc. on my server. If you are able to
get in contact with them, e-mail me off-list for a phone number where they
can get in touch with me.

I'm qmail running on a box with 2 network interface cards and want
to bind qmail to a specific IP address in order to simplify
firewall rules.
I'm thinking along the lines of the apache "BindAddress" keyword,
so qmail would only use a specific ip address when listening and
as a source address for outbound connections.
If anyone has a hack for qmail 1.03 along these lines, I'd love to
see a copy of the source.
Leni.
Check out tcpserver. Here's a run file that should be a start
for 'ya:
#!/bin/sh
# Using tcpserver to listen to the internet
exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" tcpserver -v -u 1003 -g 1002 192.168.1.1 smtp
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1 | /var/qmail/bin/splogger smtpd 3
-sc

Hi,
We're need a IMAP product that uses Maildir's and we'd like to
authenticate using our own hacked checkpassword.
I've read in the archives that courier-imap uses Maildirs, but can it
use checkpassword for authentication or will I need something
like that mentioned below and wrap checkpassword with some perl
scripts?

Thanks,
Mike.

Any suggestions are appreciated.
We are looking for some way to help out a few dozen exchange customers while
northpoint is down.
Thanks.

Either
- install serialmail and give them each their own Maildir (serialmail
docs show you how)
- set secondary MXes to you (you probably have this already) and touch
all their mail every, say, 6 days (because qmail bounces at 7, by
default) until their primary MX is up again.
I'd go for the first option.

Hi,
Hoping someone can help.
I've tested my qmail setup and all the tests using
qmail-inject work ok, however, if a mail comes in through qmail-smtpd it bounces
with 'Sorry, I couldn't find and host named...'.
All dns tools are working fine, it just seems to be
qmail. Anyone know the answer?
Cheers,
-mic

What do the logs say? How are you invoking qmail-smtpd?
Yeah, I just fixed it actually after reading that qmail doesn't actually do
dns lookups.
Found tcpserver to be the culprit. xinetd makes it run fine. I'll probably
just leave it at that now...

I don't suspect that at all. I believe that your tcpserver
configuration caused $RELAYCLIENT to be set to something other than
"", which can cause the problems you were having. Hence my earlier
request for logs and the run script for qmail-smtpd under tcpserver.
the run script for tcpserver was as outlined in the Qmail HOWTO from
www.qmail.org.

hi,
i got a shell script that can do that. if the 1st arg is NULL,
it's going to flush the list, if it is a message number ( get it from
qmail-qread ), then it is going to delete that message..
here is it.
------------------<>--------------------
#!/bin/sh
cd /var/qmail/queue
MID=$1
FLAG=0
/etc/init.d/qmail stop
for file in `find . -iname \* | grep "./*/[0-9]"`
do
FILENAME=`basename $file`
if [ -n "$MID" ];then
if [ "$MID" != "$FILENAME" ];then
continue
fi
fi
if [ -f $file ];then
echo "removing $file..."
rm $file
FLAG=1
fi
done
if [ $FLAG -ne 1 ];then
echo "No message deleted from queue"
fi
/etc/init.d/qmail start
/etc/init.d/qmail status
--------------------<>--------------------------
hope this helps.

But what if there are two servers running qmail on both of them. One is
primary and the second is backup mail server which is for use of Queueing
only. Now how would the mails on secondary mail server transfer to primary
mail server and then stores in user accounts.
Thanks for ur help and I am also working on it.
