Your fetchmail is misconfigured, and the MTA/MDA it is using for delivery is failing. Fix your fetchmail configuration, or use something else. For one thing, I doubt that "localhost.localdomain" is the default name for your machine.

I posted this question but nobody answered, may be nobody knows the answer,may be it is an OT,may be it is a FAQ? Have you a comment about? #---OLD QUESTION---# Is there a simple method with qmail to forward *only* specific addressed MAIL toward a different host connected on LAN? I.E.: pc1 uses qmail as MTA and mail is retrieved via fetchmail pc1 uses a simple .qmail file where the forward rule is:&[EMAIL PROTECTED] pc2 get *all* the MAIL as pc1 but I wonder only: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] be forwarded to pc2 #---END---# T.I.A. -- Regards,: Marco Calistri <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> gpg key available on http://www.qsl.net/ik5bcu Xfmail 1.4.7p2 on linux RedHat 6.2

To save you the pain of learning it through the usual fiery ordeal, here's a couple of tips: 1) Every message you send to a mailing list costs some hundreds or thousands of other users a minute or two to read. If you happen to ask a question which is clearly answered in the documentation, the various FAQs, or in the mailing list archives, you have just wasted that time for every other member of the list. This is considered extremely rude. It also lowers the signal-to-noise ratio of the list, making it a less useful resource for you and everyone else. This is why netiquette requires that you "lurk" on the mailing list, reading it but not posting, for the first few weeks. That way, you see all the common questions & answers go by, and probably answer all the common newbie questions you have at this point. 2) Statements like ``most of that "high qulified IT professionals" are same as me who's just looking for help'' are inflammatory, incorrect, and misguided. This list has, as members, the author of qmail, and the authors of all the most commonly used add-ons, patches, supplemental documentation, and complementary packages, as well as dozens of other people who are simply very knowledgable users of qmail. > basically i'm very new to all this list stuff.. so i'm trying to do my best > to "fit in"..

I say.. we talking about personal stuff here more that it needs too.. if you want to say somethin you should e-mail me directly and not to whole list so all those hundreds and thousands people wont spend their a minute or two to read this none sense.. the reason i wrote here at first place was for reason, i couldn't get it to work and i couldn't find answer for my question .. so i did.. there is nothing wrong with that.. from what i see in all those mailing list.. people asking even more stupidest question then i am.. if you feel so busy then don't read e-mail, ignore it, unsubscribe from the list READ subject (thats what they are for) and you won't have to read rest.. i'm 100% sure that very same questions is being asked here over and over and not all people are going to archive to look for answers.. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Charles Cazabon" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, April 20, 2001 9:54 AM Subject: OT: Re: store and forward incoming e-mail > alexus <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > it's not like i'm "demanding" and i didn't realize that there are an archive > [...] > > You need to learn some basic netiquette.

Hello everyone again, I have qmail setup to deliver mail to a gateway system for delivery to the internet via serialmail. This works perfectly, my query is I have setup another mail system on my network that will host internal e-mail accounts, I have the DNS setup to have the MX records pointing at the correct system but instead of qmail sending the e-mail on to the internal server it sends it to the mail gateway via serialmail. This is all well and good but the system I need the mail to go does not have any valid internet side dns entries. Basically what I need is for qmail / serialmail to only forward mail to the gateway that is not for internal network systems. Can this be done, if so any ideas??

Either you're relaying your mail through a different server than you think you are, or you're not running qmail. In either case, it's not a qmail issue, and therefore doesn't belong on this list.

When I use the mail command, PHP's mail() function or if cron etc. generates output: mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - recieved OK, from [EMAIL PROTECTED] mail to john@pluto fails as below mail to john fails as below deliveries via pop, smtp etc work fine. Why is my qmail adding a second domain name to these messages, that should be delivered locally? The machine pluto is on an internal network (10.0.0.12) which has the domain 'office.internal' - it also has the address office.mobiletones.com, this is a machine that portforwards ports 25 and 110 to the internal machine. DNS resolves OK for the internal net (eg. 'nslookup pluto' returns 'pluto.office.internal') Thanks John ------- Hi. This is the qmail-send program at pluto.

This is in the manpage for qmail-inject. > Thanks for that Charles, One more question; the PHP script that was causing the problem is actually generating the e-mail and sending it to a different machine - Sendmail on mobiletones.com (207.228.254.10). I'm getting this error from Sendmail/Qmail: Connected to 207.228.254.10 but sender was rejected. Remote host said: 501 5.1.8 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... Domain of sender address [EMAIL PROTECTED] does not exist quite straightforward, so I put 'office.mobiletones.com' (our 'external' domain for my qmail box) into defaultdomain but this didn't work when I tested it from my own personal e-mail account: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: unrouteable mail domain "pluto.office.mobiletones.com" I was thinking of forcing the PHP script that's generating the script to insert correct address (From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]) in the header, but to me it seems a bit of a kludge. Is there a Better Way? I basically don't want qmail-inject to add the system name in. As before SMTP+POP works great. See previous e-mail to list for system info. Cheers John

Hi, I'm trying to write a email interface for Bruce Guenter's autoresponder. and to make a long story short I need to get qmail-inject (or even unix "mail") to send a message with a specific reply to address in order to make things as simple as possible for users--so they can hit "Reply" and have it go to the address I want. The -f switch for qmail-inject doesn't do it.

Hi All, Can anyone please tell me how to quickly change default Qmail response to SMTP HELP string? Qmail is secure - but we would like to make it less obvious. (we changed the greeting string already and working on error responses) Also, is there anything else we need to think about to "hide" qmail identity? (I would love to see sendmail exploits targeted at this server!)

Editing qmail-smtpd.c should be sufficient. If you want to mimic sendmail change the texts to look like sendmails' and you probably have to add some comands (like "debug"). \Maex -- SpaceNet AG | Joseph-Dollinger-Bogen 14 | Fon: +49 (89) 32356-0 Research & Development | D-80807 Muenchen | Fax: +49 (89) 32356-299 Stress is when you wake up screaming and you realize you haven't fallen asleep yet.

Hi, In my extremely large site, I'm going to upgrade sendmail to qmail. I'm planning to keep my /etc/mail/aliases, since there are more than 10.000 users, and creating one file for each in ~alias does not seem to be practical ( or am I mistaken? Is it a bad idea? ). However, I have three alias files in /etc/mail, one for each of my mail hosts in my domain, which is accomplished by adding the names of these files in sendmail.cf, besides the /etc/mail/aliases. Is there any way to tell qmail to create three database files after each "newaliases"? That is, how could I configure it to deal with each of /etc/mail/aliases, /etc/mail/file_for_other_host, and /etc/mail/file_for_the_other ? Thanks in advance...

change the :deny to :allow, you are denying ALL connections (except those that are in your relay-ctrl list) to port 25 with that setting. RELAYCLIENT="" which is set by relay-ctrl will allow those clients that match, to relay, which is what you intend without rejecting all connections. -= Brad Schuetz =-==-= [EMAIL PROTECTED] =- -----Original Message----- From: Mike A.

[...] Qmail can deliver mail in two formats, namely Mailbox and Maildir. Mailbox is the traditional Unix approach with all mails for one user concatenated in one (maybe large) file in somewhere like /var/spool/man/USERNAME. Maildir is a completely different approach that puts each delivered mail into a separate file in a directory under (normally) a users homedirectory. qmail-pop3d is only suitable for Maildir, not for Mailbox. For that you have to get another daemon that can access Mailboxes, like Qualcom Qpopper for instance. For imap access you can either use the University of Washington imap server (Mailbox) or Courier Imapd (Maildir, can be found via www.qmail.org). Now, you might want to rethink wether you want use the Mailbox format full stop, probably for pop3 access and most definitely for imap access. The reason is that Mailbox files can i) become garbled easily ii) scale terribly for a large amount of mails. In the imap scenario a user would manipulate (view/delete/change status) mail on the server right inside the mailbox file. Consider what happens if a piece of mail has to be deleted that sits in the middle of a 100 MB Mailbox: First all of the mails that precede it have so be scanned and saved somewhere and then all the mails following it appended. So the entire mailbox file has to be once read and written for each delete operation. You don't even want to think about a crash while such an operation is in progress. Pop3 access might just about be fine (apart from reliability questions and garbled mailbox files) if your users retrieve their mails regularily. On the other hand, there is always the dreaded "Leave Mail on Server" setting in pop3 mailclients that leads to ever increasing mailbox files, that users are not even aware of, except for the increase in time that it takes to get at their most recent mail. Maildir does not suffer from either of these problems since the delivery algorithm guarantees that a Maildir is always in a sane state and since each mail sits in its own file there is not much of a performance penalty associated with deleting the mail or changing its status (Courier Imapd does this by just altering the filename, not even the file itself). Depending on the underlying filesystem you might run into performance problems for very large amounts of mails in one directory of a Maildir, but that tends to be in the thousands of mails. For a third alternative for imap/pop3 access there is also the Cyrus imap and pop3 combination (http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/), which stores mails away from user home directories in either a format not dissimilar to Maildir (Cyrus versions < 2.0) or in Berkeley DB database format (Cyrus versions > 2.0) which gives you transaction protected storage and manipulation of mails. hope that helps, -- Joerg Lenneis email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You need an administrative solution, such as telling your users "All messages will be deleted from the server when they are X days old", where X is 7, or 10, or 3, or whatever fits. You then set up a cronjob to look through all the user's Maildir/{cur,new}/* and delete any file older than X days every night at midnight or something.

I have been seeing a problem: when i sent an email to an incorrect user at a correct domain, the qmail logs show that the message has been accepted. But if i send the same email, incorrect_user@correct_domain through outlook (microsoft exchange), the email bounces back immediately, with error message shown below: ************ ----- Transcript of session follows ----- 550 [EMAIL PROTECTED] User unknown ************ Any idea why email does not bounce when sent through qmail. thanks, Ketan
Does the exchange server you're sending through store mail for the schwab.com domain? if so, then this explains why. -jesse At 22:01 -0700 20/4/2001, Ketan Bajaj wrote: >I have been seeing a problem: >when i sent an email to an incorrect user at a correct domain, the qmail >logs show that the message has been accepted. >But if i send the same email, incorrect_user@correct_domain through outlook >(microsoft exchange), the email bounces back immediately, with error message >shown below: >************ >----- Transcript of session follows ----- >550 [EMAIL PROTECTED] User unknown >************ > >Any idea why email does not bounce when sent through qmail. >thanks, >Ketan -- Jesse Reynolds - Virtual Artists Pty Ltd - http://www.va.com.au jesse (at) va.com.au
I am trying to solve the following problem, but with no result... - I have a local newsserver (inn) on my linux machine - I write a message on a moderated newsgroup - innd invokes in.nnrpd, which sends the message via smtp to my local smtpd server (qmail). - I am not always connected to the internet, so I use a separate queue for outgoing mail, as specified in the qmail FAQ. - When I try to send the message with serialmail, the remote server rejects it because my domain doesn't exist: Apr 19 20:32:32 attila postfix/smtpd[21789]: reject: RCPT from smtp1.libero.it[193.70.192.51]: 450 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Sender address rejected: Domain not found; from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> In fact, voyager.zar.it is my local domain, used in my local network. - So I tried to set up user masquerading for the user "news", following the qmail FAQ, but with no result. If I try to send an email message from the news login, everything works fine, but if in.nnrpd tries to send a message, the user masquerading does not work: it seems that in.nnrpd is not able to read the environmental variables. So: what should I do...? Thank you! -- http://digilander.iol.it/42
