qmLogsort
I think this one is ready for primetime. It groups mail log records by message and delivery. It eliminates all of that scrolling up and down in the log file looking for outcomes. Features include a grep option, a "nogrep" like grep -v, a follow mode and transparent decompression for .gz, .Z and .bz2 compressed logs.

Partly solved: supervised tcpserver under supervise
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I have partly solved my problem (a typo) of logging tcpserver messages through cyclog. What I do now: For init scripts, I do supervise dir /var/qmail/rc-smtp and in my rc-smtp I have (on one long line) #!/bin/sh exec env - PATH=... tcpserver -v ... rblsmtpd qmail-smtpd 21 |setuser qmaill accustamp|setuser qmaill cyclog ... All the logging works as expected. What now does not work is that svc -dx ... doesn't bring this tcpserver down. In ps auxww I can see sh /var/qmail/rc-smtp running as a separate process and svstat says that the supervised pid is the pid of this shell process. Bringing it down (svc -dx) brings down this shell and not tcpserver. I though the initial "exec" in the shell script should get rid of the shell process. I must be missing something obvious but if I only knew what... Please suggest.

We need something that will pump mails of different sizes and types so that we can test the total email infrastructure. Qmail is on Linux ( redhat 5.4) . Can one write some kind of a script that you do the same. Please let me know at the earliest. Thanks Amit Vadehra Microsoft has a tool called InetLoad that does some basic load testing. While it only runs on Windows NT, it is free and it's worked pretty well for us. It has the capability to test various services besides just SMTP, and includes some basic scripting commands.

Outlook - qmail - filter
I have a user who has a number of LARGE MS Outlook folders full of mail and he wants move that mail to folders under qmail. I guess we will setup elm filters to re-separate the mail once we get it to the qmail server. The problem is how to get all of the mail from Outlook to qmail without forwarding EVERY message one at a time. Any suggestions? If we select a group of messages and tell Outlook to forward them, it stuffs them all into a single e-mail as attachments which then have to be saved one at a time. TIA!! -wade

Random Qmail Questions
DISCLAIMER: Please forgive me if these are totally pathetic question. Believe it or not, I have read through the docs, and still haven't figured things out. First Question: I've set up qmail to run in Maildir mode. All of my users now have their pretty little ~/Maildir/ set up. Right now I've got pine aliased to pinq so that everything will work. I notice that when a user starts pine, it automatically creates a Mailbox instead of using the Maildir. Does maildir2mbox do this automatically, or do I have something set up wrong? Second Question: I can't seem to send mail to root. Every time I try, a message ends up in the logs stating: delivery x: deferral: Unable_to_chdir_to_maildir._(#4.2.1) I think I have all my permissions set correctly. What could be the problem? Also, I get the same error message when I send mail to a certain user, but it waits a second and delivers the mail to that user anyway. Weird.. Third Question: While looking through the FAQ, I've noticed a lot of mailer bashing. Under the questions "How to I get x mailer to work with qmail?" there always seems to be some mention of how that mailer is insecure, unreliable, and basically worthless. Yet, I don't see any mention of what one is supposed to use instead. What is the preferred MUA for DJ Bernstein dittoheads? Is there a mailer with native Maildir support? Fourth Question: Last question I promise. While looking through the docs, I've seen lots of recommendations to switch over to various programs, programs to replace things such as syslog and inet. I've noticed that all of these replacement programs seem to be in the beta stage. How reliable are they currently? I'm a bit wary of using beta software to replace something as important as my syslog and inet! I just wanted to ask before I try. Thanks for putting up with all my lame questions. Regards, Jason

Does maildir2mbox do this automatically, or do I have something set up wrong? Pine only groks mailboxes, so maildir2mbox moves the messages from a maildir to an mbox for Pine's benefit. In the longer run, consider running an IMAP server that handles maildirs. Second Question: I can't seem to send mail to root. Every time I try, a message ends up in the logs stating: That's a feature, qmail doesn't want to run as root which it would have to do. Use ~alias/.qmail-root to send root's mail somewhere else. Also, I get the same error message when I send mail to a certain user, but it waits a second and delivers the mail to that user anyway. Weird.. Hmmn. Beats me. Usual voodoo suggestions regarding protections of the maildir and the user's home directory. unreliable, and basically worthless. Yet, I don't see any mention of what one is supposed to use instead. What is the preferred MUA for DJ Bernstein dittoheads? Is there a mailer with native Maildir support? People say nice things about mutt. The rest of us make do with worthless unreliable MUAs.

Dan's definition of beta is along the lines of "not known to be bug-free" rather than the more popular "runs well enough that maybe the users will debug it for us." Like most bits of qmail, tcpserver is really nice once you believe that it really is fast and nail down its typical three-mile long command line. -- John R.

Re: Random Qmail Questions
Pine only groks mailboxes, so maildir2mbox moves the messages from a maildir to an mbox for Pine's benefit. In the longer run, consider running an IMAP server that handles maildirs. I realized that it didn't like Maildir, but I thought you could set what file it used as it's mbox by setting the MAILTMP variable. I've got my MAILTMP set as something else entirely, yet it insists on using Mailbox. Why would I want to set up an IMAP server? I don't currently have one running. The way I see it, the less open ports I've got, the better. That's a feature, qmail doesn't want to run as root which it would have to do. Use ~alias/.qmail-root to send root's mail somewhere else. Ah thank you. I knew I had forgotten to ask something. I aliases work under qmail. I've got some aliases under people's home directories, so they can accept mail from other addresses, but I haven't figured out how the ~alias/.qmail-x works. Do I need to put the address to forward to in the /.qmail-root file? Is it as simple as that? People say nice things about mutt. The rest of us make do with worthless unreliable MUAs. Glad you brought up mutt. I've been wanting to switch to it for some time now. Unfortunately I haven't found an editor that works with it too well. It was using vi, but vi seems to forget to wrap the text, so it sends everything on this one long line. I tried using pico as well, but it sits there and asks me what file I want to save it as etc., which is just a pain. BTW, does mutt use Maildir, or will I have to set up a mutq filter for it as well? More reliable than the things they replace.

All of the above problems can be fixed in the config files of vim and mutt. I know it's bad to assume that he is using vim instead of mutt, but if he isn't he should be ;-) .vimrc: set tw=70 " always limit the width of text to n .muttrc set mbox_type="Maildir" set mbox="$HOME/Maildir/" set spoolfile="$HOME/Maildir/" This setup works pretty well for me.

You can choose pop or imap, but running both only allows you to service a market where people prefer IMAP over POP, which is rare. Pine users are a notable IMAP market. Pine believes deeply, devoutly, in IMAP. I'm planning to bring up an IMAP server here partly for Pine, partly so I can check my mail from Eudora on my laptop and see all of the mailboxes into which procmail has sorted my mail and stay in sync with Pine when I get home. The pop daemon that DJB wrote for maildir works beautifully, is simple, fast, secure, and what more can you ask for? IMAP does a lot more than POP. I agree that the IMAP people at Washington have a very bad attitude toward qmail and maildirs, though. -- John R.
