Hi,

Is there any speed/performance gain if I inject messages
directly via /mail/qmail/bin/qmail-inject instead of using
sendmail replacement (/mail/qmail/bin/sendmail)?
I know that sendmail command ultimately uses qmail-inject
to inject the messages so I figured I'd cut the 'middle-men'.

It appears that there are no side-effects provided that
I add "Return-Path <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"
in the beginning of the message.

Can there be any problems with such a set up?

Thanks!

-- Simon

Hard to say what *you* would consider a problem, but I don't consider
it one.

Dear all,
I install the courier-imap and no error when install
I can receive the mail but can't send out
if I use pop3 the server can send out email ,if  I use imap the server can't
send out email, can someone  tell me what is problem
regards

Hi!
This is my init script, which I am now using:

#!/bin/sh
env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin" \
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver 0 pop-3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup domain.com \
/var/qmail/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir &

Unfortunately it doesn't work! Anytime I send an email to an existing user
(I use vpopmail) I get a message like that:

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at domain.com.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1)
...

So what does that mean? Doesn't vpopmail create users correctly?

Thanks
Chris

It was one of yesterdays april fools jokes.

I'd just thought I had to spice things up one last time with that silly
URL-scheme and all that.

Sorry if someone misunderstood.

Has anyone seen my umbrella?  I think I left it here somewhere....







Hello,this is my first post on this mailing list.
I wonder if have I any chances to modify header lines
so that qmail reports hostnames instead of IPs:

Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Received: (qmail 1236 invoked from network); 1 Apr 2001 16:00:53 -0000
Received: from unknown (HELO box.tin.it) ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) by 192.168.2.1
 with SMTP; 1 Apr 2001 16:00:53 -0000

Second:how to insert new names into /var/qmail/control/rcpthost
unless edit this file?

Third and last:using fetchmail as mail retrieval,I inserted the line

forcecr to * here

into .fetchmailrc,well I noted a speed down during mail downloads
from my POP server (external ISP) [??]

qmail will always report an IP address.  If you haven't turned off
reverse-dns lookups, it will also report the hostname or "unknown".
If the HELO name differs from the reverse dns lookup, then it will
print the HELO name.

Can't help with the other questions, as I am using my own model for
checkpassword, but the encoding schemes for POP3 APOP and SMTP AUTH
(CRAM-MD5) are not compatible.

rather check your compiler
        c++ -v
ti should output somthinmg like
        Using builtin specs.
        gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)

if it says 2.96 or egcs then install a real compiler (eg. "production
release" which still is 2.95.2) since "beta" versions ought to be badly
broken sometimes...

Title: another error mail in qmail account

hello

i got a mail in my qmail account, the subject is "Cron <root@egain2> run-parts /etc/cron.weekly"
and the content is "Read file error: ./rec.1 No such file or directory"

what is happening?
could you please advice

regards
KY





Hello-

"cron" (periodic task scheduler) on most systems redirects the output of
anything it runs into an email sent to root@hostname.  Look in your
/etc/cron.weekly file to see what the heck is running.

This is actually a handy feature; muy backup script runs in cron, and all
the status output is conveniently emailed to root, and since root is
aliased in qmail, it goes to the "real" sysadmin account

Sean showed how you can use tcpserver for listening.  For outbound,
you need to use the following patch.

<li><a
href="http:[EMAIL PROTECTED]">Markus
Stumpf</a> has a <a
href="http://www.lamer.de/maex/creative/software/qmail/">pair of qmail
patches</a>, one to cause qmail-smtpd to log its disposition of mail,
and another to convince qmail-remote to use a fixed IP address other
than the one you get without binding to an address.  Andy Repton has
ported the <a href="outgoingip.patch">fixed IP address</a> patch to
qmail 1.03.  Damir Cifer has better instructions for his <a
href="http://tycho.edico.si/linuxtnt/#qmail-patch">port</a>.

telnet or ftpd is not the main issue, starting any system services through
tcpserver is the point.
(Using tcpserver.conf)

>What's tcpserver.conf?

It is a file like inetd.conf. May be you are familiar with writing long 
tcpserver commands
to monitor the port and corresponding services to start, upon incoming request,
in some startup file like rc.conf, or through rc.d/init.d directory ---
Also it starts multiple instances of tcpserver for each port / service to 
monitor.

Compare with inetd.conf ----
Where just a single entry suffices.

tcpserver.conf gives you the best of both worlds.
The ease of configuration of inetd & speed (sustaining quite high no of 
connections),
& security (tunable through .cdb files).

See attachment for tcpserver.conf
See also the man O/P (use more or less pager for proper viewing).

>What's tcpserver-control?

This is an added goodie of the bunch. It Actually parses the tcpserver.conf
& with a help of daemon-tools starts tcpserver to monitor the ports
given in tcpserver.conf (like inetd.conf)
(Thats What I Think, How ? I still have to figure out, that's the reason 
for my first mail !!)
All Options that can be given to tcpserver can be given in tcpserver.conf
(Looks like It)
And in a more structured & manageable way.
It also allows to start / stop & status monitoring of the services handled 
by tcpserver.

See tcpserver-control man page. (use more or less pager to view correctly)

Yes. But for tcpserver-control, you have to ask Andreas Ferber that
stands behind that package at <http://www.devconsult.de/~af/tcpserver-control/>

It's not any standard software that ships with tcpserver.

Hi. I've recently installed Qmail 1.03 on a Suse 7.1 linux server, and
after the initial setup (not using tcpserver) I could run and access and
deliver mail normally. After setting up tcpserver and getting it running
and working however, my SMTP server continues to receive and que mail,
but will no longer deliver it. When I run qmail-local manually it
returns a Error 4.3.0: Unable to Rewind Message error. 

Thoughts help or suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated. 







Hi all,

We have managed to implement adding a footer to our outgoing email
messages and would like to put up the program source somewhere for qmail.

The program is written in Pascal,
and is written for /Maildir/ and we implement it with auto-turn.
It scans the email and 
1  Identify the text component and put a message at the end of the text part 
2  Identify the html component and put a message at the end of the html part

The footer is in 2 separate text files which can be easily customized 
We have made cron change the random messages

We can put up a web-page with the source code in it and a small how-to
implement it. Please let me know what to do.

with best regards

1. Stop qmail.
2. find /var/qmail/queue/mess -type f | xargs rm -f
3. find /var/qmail/queue/info -type f | xargs rm -f
4. find /var/qmail/queue/local -type f | xargs rm -f
5. find /var/qmail/queue/remote -type f | xargs rm -f
6. Start qmail.

about them on djb's qmail site:

Hi All,

My ISP in the States uses a mail package that puts the targetted recipient in 
the 'Received' header, as shown in the subject.  

This is useful, as I use unique addresses are one of the tools I use to help 
block spam.  (http://sneakemail.com).

Does qmail support this feature (or an equivalent)?

But it does exist. See:

http://ftp.univ-aix.fr/ls-lR 

Personally, I found similiar things going on for SuSE Linux. qpopper
coupled with qmail to allow POP3 delivery/fetching on VSM Mailboxes. 
The desaster was:
- qmail-smtpd (and qpopper) was invoked by INETD with root permissions.
- qmail's home dir was /usr/local/qmail.

qpopper did not work either.

My advice: Install qmail from the sources.

My question: Has anybody on that list similiar experiences with these kind
of packages? Let's try to identify the originator and bann it!
