Hello all, first time poster here. Ive been using QT for some time now and
I've just updated to one of the more recent versions and since its worked so
well out of the box in the past for me I guess I have a lot of holes in my
ability to administate my mail system.
I currently use fetchmail to grab my emails from my ISP and forward it to an
email address I have on my own server here at home, for example fetchmail grabs
mail from my ISP "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and then sends it off to "[EMAIL
PROTECTED]". Somewhere along the line I run into the issue of mail getting
rejected due to this. I am guessing its fetchmail causing the issue or rather
the fact that the mail is to "myisp.com" yet its being delivered to
"myhomeserver.com". I really do lack the knowledge to really know whats going
on to fix it properly.
My /var/log/qmail/smtp/current shows a bunch of errors like the following....
qmail-smtpd: qq hard reject (qmail-dk: Cannot sign message due to invalid
message syntax. (#5.3.0)): MAILFROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> RCPTTO:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
The odd thing is, most emails get through to me, its mostly emails from yahoo
and gmail that dont get through. I've tried adding rules to tcp.smtp and
rebuilding the rules but that only makes it so that the IP's that are
whitelisted arent hard rejected but soft rejected. So fetchmail leaves them on
my ISP's mail server instead of rejecting and deleting them. Also, there are
multiple IP addresses for gmail and yahoo mail servers which makes it harder to
whitelist them.
In order to try and figure out what is casing the mail to be rejected I've
edited my tcp.smtp quite a bit.. it is currently as follows...
127.0.0.1:allow,RELAYCLIENT="",QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/simscan",CHKUSER_RCPTLIMIT="50",CHKUSER_WRONGRCPTLIMIT="10"
24.71.223.:allow,RBLSMTPD="",QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/simscan"
66.135.192.:allow,RBLSMTPD="",QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/simscan"
66.94.234.:allow,RBLSMTPD="",QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/simscan"
216.109.112.:allow,RBLSMTPD="",QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/simscan"
209.191.69.:allow,RBLSMTPD="",QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/simscan"
:allow,BADMIMETYPE="",BADLOADERTYPE="M",CHKUSER_RCPTLIMIT="50",CHKUSER_WRONGRCPTLIMIT="10",QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/simscan"
I probably have it pretty messed up here but before I g editing it anymore I
wanted to post to this list to get some ideas on how to resolve this situation.
I also have to mention that I dont have issues with email being send directly
to [EMAIL PROTECTED], it is only when emails are grabbed with fetchmail.
Can anyone here suggest what I might do to fix this problem other than stop
using fetchmail :) Thank you in advance for your time.
