To anyone that was interested the errors seem to be because the ISP doesnt know what the hell they are running. I asked them whether they were running a traffic shaper or a load balancing device and they said "Duh" then said "o no we dont have anything like that." I then used my personal dialup to a reputable ISP and suddenly the problems went away. It seems if Qmail smtp doesn't have a smooth reliable data stream it doesn't like it. I assume this would be the case for any SMTP connection but I've never had the problem with Groupwise or Lotus Notes. Thanks to Caspar for pointing me to the correct RFC. I was wondering if anyone knows where the rest of the SMTP commands that aren't in the original RFC are listed. Craig Needs Adelaide, South Australia
One of the 6 supervised services on one of my gateways stopped responding (tinydns) yesterday afternoon. On the screen was "unable to lock directory /var/log/tinydns:", so I did an "svc -t /service/tinydns/log" and it worked fine. Since the line that generates that log output exits 111, how would terminating the supervise process help? Thanks.

Hi All: On 4-6-2001, I posted a message asking help in trying to find out why a connection to qmail was being refused. I included the following error message which was being displayed when error response was received: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------- > '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' on 04/06/2001 11:06 AM > Unable to deliver the message due to a communications failure > The MTS-ID of the original message is: c=US;a= > ;p=TIB;l=TALIA-010406150600Z-56 > MSEXCH:IMS:TIB:MTC-TN:TALIA 3902 (000B09AA) Host Unknown ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------- I received about 10-12 responses. The very first response suggested that all connections to Linux computer were being rejected. Yes indeed.. It seemed that while setting up the security, I have entered "ALL:ALL DENY" in "/etc/host.dent", but did not have proper setting in "/etc/host.allow". This caused rejection of connection while send any email. I am posting this message because everybody, except the first respondent (Daniel Holden), suggested that: (1) MS Exchange was broken and (2) It was not a Qmail problem. As it turned out that: No.. MS Exchange was not broken & Yes.. It was not a Qmail problem. Thanks for your help.

Hi, I have a the whole qmail+vpopmail+pop+imap+mysql+qmailadmin setup and it is all running great. One thing I would like to do however is allow users to append to their email address: for example, If my username, [EMAIL PROTECTED] was valid, I would like [EMAIL PROTECTED] to also work (or [EMAIL PROTECTED]). Kinda like a catchall for all accounts I guess. Is this possible? like creating user*@domain instead of user@domain thanks, davidu

The external SMTP > Server delivers automatically to ALL MX Servers of a domain? It would > be interesting to know. I'm not entirely sure what you're asking, but I'll try to answer this. Specifically, I don't know what you mean by "external SMTP Server". Assume you have two mail servers smtp1.example.com and smtp2.example.com. Assume further that the DNS contains two MX records for example.com, with smtp1.example.com assigned a priority (or distance) of 10 and smtp2.example.com assigned a priority of 20. A mail transfer agent (MTA) will attempt to deliver mail to the MX with the smaller priority. If that server is unavailable, for whatever reason, it will try to deliver to an MX with a larger priority. In my example, if smtp1 is unavailable, the MTA will attempt to deliver to smtp2. If it suceeds, it's finished. It will not deliver to more than one MX. smtp2, if configured to be a "backup" only, will attempt to deliver to smtp1 (the higher priority, lower numbered MX). Assuming smtp1 becomes available again, the mail will be delivered by smtp2 to smtp1. Once it's delivered, smtp2 is finished. smtp1 is now responsible for getting the mail to the user. This is pretty basic Internet mail stuff... Tim (btw, no need to CC me. I read the list.)
How feasible is it to have a primary and backup, configured as you describe below, and be able to easily switch the backup to primary mode? I suppose there's no point unless the IMAP/POP servers on each machine stay in sync.

Quite. Your users, be they virtual or local Unix users, have to exist on both machines. Then add the domain(s) either to .../qmail/control/locals or .../qmail/control/virtualdomains and HUP qmail-send. A comment: many people recommend against a backup (secondary) MX. It can be argued that you don't gain anything by it - mail will be queued at the sender's server and, once your primary (only) MX is up again, delivery will proceed apace. If you're down for too long, mail will bounce. The same is true of your own secondary, unless you make provisions to deliver it somewhere else or store it and re-inject it or other such administrative nightmare. Tim

What about if users send mail directly from their MUA's ? They just couldn't send anything if your only MX is down. And do not rely on other people's servers - they are tend to fail... > If you're down for too long, mail will bounce.

The secondary is just relay - it should keep mail in queue until primary (or whatever is your final destination point) is up again. The secondary server not only one more server - it also should be alternative way for mail delivery. Oleg > Tim __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Hello, I have started qmail with the following option in /var/qmail/rc: exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \ qmail-start '|dot-forward .forward |preline procmail' splogger qmail Here I am explicitly using procmail as my MDA. My .qmail has one entry which is, "./Maildir/" When a mail is delivered, I do not think that procmail is being used. The procmailrc has the "VERBOSE" flag set to 'yes' and there is no logging being done for this one particular user. Is qmail-command an MDA for local users? If so, how can I use qmail-command to execute a script before delivering the mail to the user's maildir? I don't know if I am doing this right, but I have created .qmail-special and inserted, |preline /scripts/format.pl Now I have .qmail and .qmail-special. How will or should .qmail-special be invoked?

Hi, Sorry for the stupid question, but I have been searching the mailing list archives and there and hundreds of results and none seems to help. Perhaps because the keyword has been used too many times. What I'd like to do is to remove qmail from inetd. (I have already done so). I commented out the qmail line. Now I have installed ucspi-tcp. The question is> WHat is the command line I should use? I have OpenBSD 2.8. And where's the best place to put it? (rc.local?) If i can read this in some sort of online doc or faq, please point me. But I've been unable to find it. Thanks in advance, -- -- Martin Marconcini | Unix, MS-DOS, Windows. | Also known as The Good, The Bad | And the Ugly... --

I am beginning to give up expecting to find the answer here, but anyway: I've confirmed that the problem occurs only if I try to send a message from the hosts in the same domain. (i.e., hosts in domain 'my.domain'.) Sending a message from other domain to [EMAIL PROTECTED] always succeeds. Moreover this problem seems to be independent from the other SMTP server in the domain (i.e., smtp1.my.domain), since the same problem occurs even if smtp1 is not running. Is this a bug? Or I should utilize other fancy features like virtual domain or something? >>>>> On Wed, 04 Apr 2001 23:28:45 +0900, Koh Sato <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> said: >> Hello.

Thanks. I have it working. Now i have this (among with all qmail/supervise processes) process runing: /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -p -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c 20 -u 2850 -g 32750 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd According to life-w/qmail this is all correct (I have followed every step) Local mail works through Maildir (we use Mutt). Now... bash-2.04# telnet localhost 25 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. Connection closed by foreign host. And look at /var/log/qmail/smtpd/current @400000003ad137d81a12473c tcpserver: status: 1/20 @400000003ad137d81a40cd64 tcpserver: pid 28480 from 127.0.0.1 @400000003ad137d81b12a424 tcpserver: ok 28480 localhost.marconcini.com.ar:127.0.0.1:25 :127.0.0.1::15432 @400000003ad137d81b1c77c4 tcpserver: warning: dropping connection, unable to run /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd: exec format error @400000003ad137d81b44b48c tcpserver: end 28480 status 28416 @400000003ad137d81b5323dc tcpserver: status: 0/20 What is the meaning of that exec format error??? I run OpenBSD / Bash. But I don't think that might be a problem.? Any help would be appreciated. THanks in advance, Martin Marconcini.

According to the man page (man execve): [ENOEXEC] The new process file has the appropriate access permission, but has an invalid magic number in its header. It looks like your qmail-smtpd executable is hosed. Did you build from source or install a package? If the latter, try building qmail from source. > I run OpenBSD / Bash. But I don't think that might be a problem.? No. Tim (btw, no need to CC me, I read the list)

I put: virtualdomains fixme:fixup tcp.smtp 192.54.41.49:allow,RELAYCLIENT="@fixme" more ~alias/.qmail-fixup-default | bouncesaying 'Permission denied ' [ "@$HOST" != "@fi xme" ] | qmail-inject -f "$SENDER" -- "$DEFAULT" How can I force it to keep the sender information? The manual pages say if qmail-inject is used with the option -f then ALL variables are cleared. Thanks, Antje
Hi list! I have the same email accounts on my home computer as on my work. I have specified that the mails should remain on the server for some days so I could fetch'em at work as well when I'm home. However, I want the mails to be marked as read when they already have been fetched from the other place. Is this dependent on the client or the server? How do I configure qmail to do this? thanks, /andreas
