Many days I have fighted with selective relaying, read FAQs, manuals, descriptions and
every articles from usenet even far-close to the matter
but no success, so, I have to ask help, sorry!
I have installed qmail on RH7.1 by help of LWQ and run it's services via tcpserver.
Everything works just fine, pop3 for example, but cannot
get work selective relaying. I can send and receive mails from the server, can
download them from the server with pop3 (through tcpserver) to
any PC on my local network (192.168.100.0), even to a remote network (193.40.78.74, my
home), but can't use it as a relay.
If I try to send a mail from home to sombody.another-domain.com via my server, I get
this message in /var/log/qmail/smtpd:
@400000003b8e5b360243662c tcpserver: pid 5668 from 193.40.78.74
@400000003b8e5b36025e7bc4 tcpserver: ok 5668 0:193.40.78.66:25 193.40.78.74::1648
@400000003b8e5b360260a28c tcpserver: warning: dropping connection, unable to run -x:
file does not exist
@400000003b8e5b360267de1c tcpserver: end 5668 status 28416
@400000003b8e5b360267edbc tcpserver: status: 0/20
When I put sombody.another-domain.com to rcpthosts it works, but, the heck, I can't
put there all the world!
The contents of /qmail-smtp/run is:
#!/bin/sh
QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaild`
NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild`
MAXSMTPD=`cat /var/qmail/control/concurrencyincoming`
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 2000000 \
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -l 0 -c "$MAXSMTPD" 0 25 -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb \
-u "$QMAILDUID" -g "$NOFILESGID" /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1
and of /eth/tcp.smtp:
127.:allow, RELAYCLIENT=""
193.40.78.74:allow, RELAYCLIENT=""
192.168.100.:allow, RELAYCLIENT=""
Ofcourse I did run qmailctl cdb and it outputs "Reloaded /etc/tcp.smtp.", I can even
view all those ip-addresses in the cdb file. I checked
over the permissions, all seems to be is OK (644).
If I check tcprules, I get:
[root@server /root]# TCPREMOTEIP=193.40.78.74 tcprulescheck /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb
rule 193.40.78.74:
set environment variable RELAYCLIENT=
allow connection
[root@server /root]# TCPREMOTEIP=192.168.100.11 tcprulescheck /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb
rule 192.168.100.:
set environment variable RELAYCLIENT=
allow connection
I have played with the order of the options in tcpserver startup line:
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -v -R -l 0 -c "$MAXSMTPD" 0 25 \
-u "$QMAILDUID" -g "$NOFILESGID" /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1
now I get:
@400000003b8e5d6a036e2e74 tcpserver: warning: dropping connection, unable to run -u:
file does not exist
Naturally, if I ps (ps -auxww | more grep mail), there is:
root 6217 0.0 0.2 1332 360 ? S 17:35 0:00
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -v -R -l 0 -c 20 0 25 -u 503 -g
502 /var/qmail/bi
n/qmail-smtpd
root 6417 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Z 17:39 0:00 [supervise <defunct>]
I understand that tcpserver tries to run the option -x or -u as a file and can't get
the real cdb file invoked, why?
Is there anybody who knows everything about this stuff? Ok, not everything, but a
little more than me? Creators? Please help!
Thanks a lot in advance.
