Use vdelivermail (part of vpopmail at http://www.inter7.com/qmail) or
maildrop (http://courier.sourceforge.net)

I am assuming that you are running under single UID, of course.

You have no SMTP server running:

$ telnet 195.191.36.57 25
Trying 195.191.36.57...
telnet: connect to address 195.191.36.57: Connection refused

Configure your qmail-smtpd (using ucspi-tcp/tcpserver, see the
FAQ). Then your mail should arrive.

No, it would only be used for DNS debugging.

Hello,

i'm searching of the meaning "delivery 10: success:

Thanks for the help

Thus spake Michael Geier ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
> does anyone know why this might be crashing???  Thanks for the help.

Crist, since when do people have a email sending allowance who don't
know the difference between "the compiler gave me an error message" and
"my computer crashed"?!

Go play with your Outlook somewhere else, willya?

BTW: Coincidentally, you asked a FAQ.




This is exactly the kind of problem that causes people to get discouraged
about installing new (and superior) software.  They run into a problem and
they get raked over the coals for a breach of interpreted "etiquette" when
typing.

Almost a dozen people wrote helpful emails without the need for blasting
someone for the tool they use to send email from a "company-owned
workstation".
Ever think that I do not have a choice in the utility I am forced to use to
receive my email at this workstation?  Or maybe, that, along with some of
the other options "my Outlook" offers me, I choose to use it since I am
forced to use the M$ operating system to coexist with my workgroup...

I tell you what...since you seem to be such a unix GOD, develop the
following software so I can readily move my workload to unix:

        a graphics program capable of the same feats as Adobe Photoshop,
Illustrator and Macromedia Director
        a html development program with:
                code verification
                syntax verification and highlighting
                internal browsing of current state of document
        office suite that handles all current document forms including:
                Microsoft
                Lotus
                Corel

        and the ability to play UT within the same environment seamlessly...

once YOU have done that, let me know so that I can bend over and kiss your
ass.  Until that time, grow a thicker skin.  I never said the computer
crashed.  I insinuated that the process was crashing.  A dozen other people
understood what it meant...why didn't you?

Just so that everyone can see what a pathetic individual Felix is, here is
his lovely retort to my email.  I especially love his methodology for
proving his superiority through the use of 4-letter words:

Fuck Off And Die.

People who are as stupid as you have no business installing software at
all.

You don't have a workstation.
You have a broken Windoze infested PC with tons of crapware on it.
Nothing could be farther from a "workstation".

I understood what you meant.  And I saw that your description was so
wrong that you should not be handling a computer.  Leave that to people

Michael,

although Felix' choice of words is debatable (he's getting soft it
seems), forwarding private messages to mailing lists is, well, rock
bottom. 

But let's stick with the facts.

That is correct. Your problem could have been solved by searching the
archives. Read:

,----[ http://cr.yp.to/lists.html ]

`----

Correct.

And correct again. So tell me, Michael, did you publish a private
conversation to prove that you're clueless or that you are ignorant?
Either way, you were quite suckcessful. Please go away.

I can't believe I'm going to wade into this one, but... To answer his

Code verification for html?? Come on...

Ok, Ok, I'll give you the highlighting part - but if you've written
enough html with a real editor, you can get an idea of how it's going to
look be viewing the markup. HTML is NOT code.... It is a markup
language!!

Play with a computer?? Hmmm, never thought of that! My computer is no
different than a set of tools I'd use to fix my car or work around my
house. Gee, I'll have to ask my kids that are 5/7/9 years old to see
what they think about the computer as a toy..
>

Pucker baby...

        Ok, I've seen this kind of treatment before and I can tell you, this
list has helped me through some serious jams! Yes, I read all the docs,
searched archives and posted all information unchanged to this list and
have had replies within the hour..... I can see where some folks who do
spend a bunch of time answering questions get short with folks that
won't so their homework. qmail is much better than setting up any other
MTA, but you can't slouch in any area in regards to using *nix... If you
are having difficulties due to lack of experience - don't let you ego
get the better of you. There are companies that provide support for
qmail. Check them out...

Why are users supposed to know this if even 
* software vendors aren't able to label error messages appropriately?
* the whole [censored] computer industry calls fatal problems as "issues"?
* the same industry and everything around it has no clear labeling at
  all?
Why do you expect a mere user to know the difference between "it stopped
and didn't finish compiling the program for a good reason" and "it stopped
for no good reason"? Especially since the difference in question is no
difference to him?

First, the German sense of humor is different (or, as the English jokingly
suggest, non-existent).
Second, swearing is one of the most difficult aspects of any language;
getting it right requires years of immersion in the culture. Add to that
the fact that each and every English-speaking country has different
mores and you'll realize that, as a non-native speaker, you should
refrain from swearing. There are exceptions, but neither Robin nor
Felix are amongst them. They'd be far more effective if they would
vituperate a tad less.

I unsubscribed yesterday from djbdns, no problems...no more mail from

--- Here are the ezmlm command addresses.

I can handle administrative requests automatically.
Just send an empty note to any of these addresses:

   <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
   Receive future messages sent to the mailing list.

   <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
   Stop receiving messages.

   <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
   Retrieve a copy of message 12345 from the archive.

DO NOT SEND ADMINISTRATIVE REQUESTS TO THE MAILING LIST!
If you do, I won't see them, and subscribers will yell at you.

To specify [EMAIL PROTECTED] as your subscription address, send mail
to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
I'll send a confirmation message to that address; when you receive that
message, simply reply to it to complete your subscription.


You will need to follow further instructions after sending mail to 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Please keep this off the list. Everybody who can read (English) is
able to get that help from ezmlm by himself. Anybody who is on the
list at least mastered the subscription process. The unsubscription is
so similar that nobody should have problems to do it except his
address has changed.

This also removes

/var/qmail/queue/lock/tcpto
/var/qmail/queue/lock/sendmutex

which would make qmail to spit out the following in the log:

alert: cannot start: unable to open mutex

I would rather do

1. Stop qmail
2. `find /var/qmail/queue -type f \! -path "*lock*" | xargs rm -f`
3. Start qmail

Better yet, create a file containing a list of mailing lists, e.g.:

  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  ...

And set the QMAILMFTFILE environment variable to the name of that

Hello,

here is my problem :

I'm trying to run a qmail/ldap with dash_ext. I have a strange behavior
with the qmail-lspawn patched. It doesnt check the LDAP server (I dont
even have a connection attempt) and I get a "Sorry ..no mailbox/dir".

The system runs well without the patch (connection to LDAP and delivery
ok), but I really need the .qmail-<username>-subemail feature.

Technical info :
os : rh7 kernel 2.2.16
qmail : qmail-1.03
ldap patch : qmail-ldap-1.03-20010501
qmail-lspawn.c patch : version 20010501
Ldapserver : openldap.1.2.11

I putted the LDAPFLAGS=-DDASH_EXT  in the Makefile 

Does anyone of you have some issues with the dash trick ?

/Manuel

I'm not yet ready with the 20010501 patch, sorry. 20010301 works well.

What do you mean by "doesn't run"? Network reconfiguration won't stop
qmail processes from running.

why do you use netsat??
try netstat -nap or
netstat -a -p -A inet tcp

If your machine has it, try 'lsof -i' it will give you
all the processes on the machine that are listening to
ports and what ports on what addresses they're listening
to if you've got multiple addresses configured.

I am can recieve errors displayed on the console from qmail-smtpd that look like
 
 qmail-smtpd: pid 29533 from 207.69.200.246 Invalid SENDER address: MAIL from: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]@pop.mindspring.com>, RCPT To:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
 
I would like to log all of that information to a file.
This is what I put in my qmail startup script. But the information is still printed to the console. Is there way to make qmail-smtpd write to a log file?

Don't know what that '$1' is supposed to be for, and even if it was
correct, '2>&1' before '>/file' puts STDERR on your tty*. Try:


env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin" \
        tcpserver -H -R -c100 -u503 -g501 0 smtp \
        /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd >/var/log/qmail/smtpd.log 2>&1


This puts STDOUT and STDERR into /var/log/qmail/smtpd.log.

I would really recommend looking into using multilog instead.

http://www.lifewithqmail.org/

has some great stuff on how to set up
qmail+tcpserver+daemontools/multilog.

* I know that seems counter-intuitive, it did to me as well starting
out. Just be aware that it processes the arguments in order.

You would have to change $1 to &1 to let this work.

For reliable logging:
Run tcpserver under daemontools (http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html).
Set up a service for smtp which has the sticky bit set on it's
directory.

For example:
$ ls -l /var/qmail | grep service
drwxr-xr-t   4 root     root         1024 Apr 21 23:03 service_ofmipd
drwxr-xr-t   4 root     root         1024 Aug 11  2000 service_pop3
drwxr-xr-x   3 root     root         1024 Apr 27 14:46 service_qmail
drwxr-xr-t   4 root     root         1024 May 26  2000 service_qmtp
drwxr-xr-t   4 root     root         1024 Apr 26 16:59 service_smtp

Within service_smtp you crate a subdirectory log:

$ ls -l service_smtp
drwxr-xr-t   4 root     root         1024 Apr 26 16:59 .
drwxr-xr-x  17 root     qmail        1024 Apr 21 22:47 ..
drwxr-xr-x   3 root     root         1024 Apr 26 17:11 log
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root          170 Jun 23  2000 run

The run file within log may contain (example):

#! /bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/setuidgid qmaill /usr/local/bin/multilog \
 t s4194304 n20 /var/log/smtp


Your above script may be used as run file within service_smtp (may be
more elegant, but is good enough to work):

#!/bin/sh
exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin" \
 ������� tcpserver -H -R -c100 -u503 -g501 0 smtp \
 ������� /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1

Your question is a FAQ, but does not seem to be explicitly covered in

       qmail-local will temporarily defer delivery of any message

Don't allow any home directory to be writable by anyone but the owner.

Hi,
 I would like to use qmailanalog to make a daily report that will get
mailed to the local administrative staff. I would like to have the
reports include exactly 24 hours of activity. I thought that the easiest
way to do this is to have multilog start a new log file at 0.00 every
day, but couldn't figure out how to do it. I have looked at the multilog
source and man page, and it seems to only rotate logs based on size. How
are you guys doing this? 

 Please cc me also with your reply.

Regards,
Mike




Now that was at http://www.superscript.com/patches/intro.html . A multilog
Patch!!It works fine. You can give multilog a HUP i.a with a cron job.

Look into whatever program you are using for authentication, that should
(might) have patches to provide logging.

Subject: Qpopper and Qmail logging


I have been tasked with the need to log USERNAMES that are downloading pop.

The reason is that we use both imap and pop here and want to phase out pop.

So how can I create a log of all the people using POP (via qpopper) to
access their mail (delivered with Qmail).  (solaris).

I can grep the syslog for pop and get REMOTE or LOCAL but it's ip based..
I need username based logging.

anyone have any idea? I looked into multi-log but it seems much more in
depth to implement than I was hoping for.

-chad








I'm running 3.01
qpopper.

so I'm trying to incorporate this but my c is POOR indeed... was 811 the
last line in the file?
the 3.01 version has about 1600 lines in it.

   I don't know what version of qpopper you're using, but I added some code
   in v2.53 to do this.  Userids will show up in syslog.  The right place
   is in pop_dropcopy.c:

   ...
   810   /* Now we run as the user. */
   811   (void) setgid((GID_T)pwp->pw_gid);
   812   (void) setgroups(1,(GID_T *)&pwp->pw_gid);
         /* Set the supplementary groups list */
   813   (void) setuid((UID_T)pwp->pw_uid);
   814
   815   /* Added by KEV: log all usernames. */
   816   pop_log (p, POP_PRIORITY, "uname=%s, uid=%d, gid=%d",
   817       pwp->pw_name, getuid (), getgid ());
   ...

   You might also want to check for passwords that must be changed, in
   pop_pass.c:

   188   /* Check if password is valid */
   189   if (pwd->sp_max > 0 && today > pwd->sp_lstchg+pwd->sp_max)
         {
   190       sleep(SLEEP_SECONDS);
   191       return (pop_msg(p,POP_FAILURE,"\"%s\": account
expired.",p->user));
   192   }
   193
   194   /* Added: check if password must be changed */
   195   if (pwd->sp_lstchg == 0) {
   196       sleep(SLEEP_SECONDS);
   197       return (pop_msg(p,POP_FAILURE,"\"%s\": change your password.",
   198        p->user));
   199   }
   200
   201   pw->pw_passwd = (char *)strdup(pwd->sp_pwdp);
   202   endspent();

truly gives me pleasure: hooking up with fat, hairy girls.      --Ross Levy





I'm not sure if this is appropriate for the qmail list, but here goes...

On two occasions now I've had qmail suddenly stop processing outgoing (only)
mail.  I have not been able to correspond this to any
events and there were no changes to the qmail configuration, firewall or
internal (behind the firewall) mail server at either failure.
At both times, the mail server was running happily with the qmailqueue patch
for months.

At the first failure, I tried queue-fix, re-creating the /var/qmail/queue
dirs, and changing the QMAILQUEUE env variable from pointing to our
virus filter to its original destination of qmail-queue.  What finally fixed
it, however, was re-installing qmail from a virgin qmail tarball without the
qmail queue patch.

What's also odd is that the error message was different both times.  The
first, I got:
        deferral:
<IPAddr>_failed_after_I_sent_the_message./Remote_host_said:_451_qq_write_err
or_or_disk_full_(#4.3.0)/

The second time:
        deferral:
<IPAddr>_failed_after_I_sent_the_message./Remote_host_said:_451_qq_internal_
bug_(#4.3.0)/

Again, both times the fix was to re-install qmail without the QMAILQUEUE
patch.  

SO, I believe this patch to be mature and widely used.  I have no idea why
this is going on and why I haven't seen similar complaints in the list
archives.
It's occurred on both a RH6.2 system and RH7.0 system, both instances were
running the most current fixes.
The box delivers all its mail internally via smtproutes.

Any ideas?  Thanks!

That is not correct, that will just redirect stderr to stdout.

You need to put a single & at the end of the line that starts up
tcpserver to put the process into the background.

Hi Chris

You put this query up on the 10th. and tc lewis replied? I would endorse his 
answer to you, look into supervise from the daemontools toolkit.

If you are starting off with qmail and want to get it up and going then go 
with one of the established methods of setting it up - Life with qmail 
and/or Tetsu Ushijima's excellent qmail-conf which has complete 
configuration scripts for setting up qmail. 
http://www.din.or.jp/~ushijima/qmail-conf.html

I believe that it is not recommended to run qmail in the background, and 
with tcpserver it is not necessary. The DJB suite has a special way of 
working together with tcpserver, the relevant executable (qmail, smtpd, 
pop3d) and multilog. tcpserver listens for connections to a port (e.g. 25) 
and kicks off the relevant program (smtpd) as required. It is correct that 
"2>&1" redirects stderr to stdout but this is actually used (I believe, one 
of the regular guys can confirm this) as a special pipe for multilog to pipe 
the output to the multilog log for the service.

This is my machines run script for smptd generated by Ushijima's qmail-conf. 
You'll see that smtpd is called without the & background option. It works 
:-)

Cheers

Patrick

Hi, 

I've managed to get qmail to log the pop connections using a poplog  
script that contail s the following... 

#! /bin/sh 
echo "$TCPREMOTEIP" "$USER" | /var/qmail/bin/splogger pop3d 19  
pop="$1"; shift; exec "$pop" "$@" 

and edited the server_arg line in xined.conf to read 

server_arg      = localhost /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/poplog  
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 

I get a log entry in /var/log/popper.log that looks like this... 

Apr 30 15:27:52 testmail pop3d: 988658872.496325 dean   
Apr 30 15:27:53 testmail pop3d: 988658873.529210 dean   

I need to be able to log the STAT output also. (how many unread  
message are in the user mailbox, and total size of all that users new 
 mail files) I have been unsuccessful in trying to get this info 
added  to the log. I'd to get it on the same line as as the userid if 
 possible. Would you have any suggestions. 

Thanks 
Dean

What is the most practical way to allow users to rely mail after they
authenticate? No virtual domains, every user has their own home directory.

either one of the smtp-auth patches from qmail.org or without patching
smtp-after-pop (I recommend relay-ctrl from Bruce Guenter).

/ch




Has anyone modified qmail-send to use rcpthosts and morercpthosts.cdb?

The reason I want it is I want a virtualdomains "catch all" that
uses a database handled by fastforward. But after the message is handled
by qmail-smtpd, it is only handled by qmail-queue and qmail-send.

The address is re-written to an offsite address and handled by qmail-send
which then sees the catchall in virtualdomains and tries to deliver it
locally.

If someone has another solution, great.

Thanks,
Richard





Hi everyone,

I have applied qmail bounce patch 
(www.jedi.claranet.fr/qmail-bounce.patch), and it works ( as you  can 
see line "--- End of message stripped"), but my problem is that still i get 
full mail including attachment, when mail bounce.
The problem is that it works to header part and not to message part(i 
guess) as you can see below.  Moreover
--- End of message stripped.
--- Below this line is a copy of the message.

why " -- Below this line is a copy of the message." is after "-- End of 
message stripped." ?

for testing, the content of bouncemaxbytes file is 30
Am i doing some thing wrong?

Thanks in advance

Santosh Pasi

Hi,
        what is the syntax of badmailfrom to block senders that issue empty "MAIL 
FROM:" commands? I've tried "@" or empty line but didn't worked...
        I have read past in the mailing list that there is a problem with bouncing 
messages in blocking mails with empty senders... but i haven't understand 
why...
        Can anybody give me an answer?

Thank you in advance,
Denis

You don't have to block the empty envelope sender. It's used for
bounce messages. You and your users want to know if something goes
wrong, don't you?

If you never get a bounce message you will never realize that your
mails don't reach their destination.
Additionally you will be the enemy of the admins who will get the
double bounces instead. When a bounce is not deliverable it goes to
an administrative account of the sending mailserver.

Regards, Frank




Ok, now I have understood the problem...
Thank you very much,
Denis

It seems that the Qmail can't varify users on the system.
Can you help me.Thanks a lot.




Hi

> Connection closed by foreign host.

it seems that your qmail-smptd not running up.

i had your same problem.

my solution was been to add in inetd.conf this line

smtp  stream  tcp     nowait  qmaild    /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env   tcp-env
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd

you can start qmail-smtp by tcpserver too

hope this help

You were already advised to read the docs. Why don't you do it?
Qmails qmail-smtpd has no idea about local users.

Now I can use outlook express to use qmail server to send mail to other server.
But I can't receive mail.
Who can tell me why

The documentation can tell you why, as 2 other people have pointed out
to you on the log-list already.
