It's usual *not* to have '.' in root's path for security reasons so you just have to live with using ./command when you're root. For commands in /usr/local/bin you could of course just add /usr/local/bin to root's PATH variable, I don't think that has any security implications as long as only root can write in /usr/local/bin.

two quickies..
hi all, just created a mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] through ezmlmidx and it works fine for the users that i add with ezmlm-sub, however when i send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] i get a message back saying no mailbox? do i need to create a /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-all-news-subscribe link to some sort of /var/qmail/alias/all-news file like the other aliases that are created? secondly, a repeat of a question i posted a couple of days ago. is it possible to use the .qmail-domain:com:au-username dot-qmail format in /var/qmail/alias for locally delivered domains? thanks a heap.

Re: Urgent!: Really Weird Problems with qmail
It's hard to make anything out of the information you've supplied. First of all, go through the logs and see if you can track down this wierd behaviour. Also, check your Sent-mail box and check the headers for those unknown messages. You might want to try to send an email without using a MUA. Try some ´echo -n "to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]\nsubject: test\n[..more headers..]" |/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject´ and see if you can reproduce the results. If you can't find a logical explanation, consider the information below: vchkpw has had remote-exploitable vulnerabilities resulting in root access. I don't have the version number of the vulnerable vpopmail in my head, but inter7 should be able to supply you with that information. (I think there might be some information on their homepage still.) My advice, check if you've used a vulnerable version of vpopmail, and if you have, try to figure out if you've been owned. The risk might not be that high, but it's the first I'd look into if my mail would start delivering mail to adresses I've never heard of and can't track down in any of my postings. Martin Paulucci wrote: Hi!, I'm having problems with qmail. I don't know why, but when I send an email to certain addresses at certain moments the mail gets sent to other addresses that I don't even know, and many even not exist. So if I send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (my default domain) the mail gets perfectly delivered to that mailbox but it seems that qmail also tries to send it to some more destinations which I don't even know the email addresses ever. The weird thing is that this happens sometimes, not always. One of the account is a vpopmail account with a .qmail inside the maildir, which includes 3 address in this format: .qmail contents: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] And belongs to vpopmail:vchkpw (user:group) Any idea at all?...is it a virus to the clients (I've tried different machines, different clients - outlook, pegasus- and happens the same thing) or anything else?.

Qmail modifying recipient
Hi Apologies in advance if this is a dumb question but I'm a newbie and have not been able to get to the Qmail documentation project site. Whats the deal with this? I set up qmail as per the 'life with qmail' document from www.qmail.org as well as the document on setting it up as a multiple pop server using only 1 userid. I did this on RH6.0 machine with the latest qmail distribution, as well as dameontools, etc. It all worked fine but I have made a modification somewhere that has resulted in the qmail-smtpd behaving strange. If I do a qmail-inject locally, everything is sweet and the message is delivered to the appropriate mailbox. If I telnet to port 25 remotely or via localhost the qmail log shows delivery to "local @mail.domain.com.au" - ie the actual recipient is gone. In fact, no matter what domain I specify it replaces it with whatever is in control/me. I'm sure this is something dumb and I cannot supply the logs here as I'm no longer in the office, however a quick look at the docco that I could get to did not give me any help.. If there are any quick suggestions they would be appreciated, if not I'll get all my logs. platform details, config details, etc together and hopefully make a better post.. thanks in advance Paul Culmsee

Some put it in a header, some nowhere in the message. I used to think this would be a good idea. But I recently got onto a mailing list that puts the unsubscribe information as a trailer on every message. This mailing list is also moderated (in the sense that submissions go to moderators who then decide whether or not to let them through to the list-at-large), so everything seemed fine... Until two weeks ago, when they decided people had been good, and they'd try un-moderating it. From my perspective as a random listie, a huge flood of messages suddenly hit the list, saying everything from "How do I unsubscribe" to "Get me off this list, now!" to "I DONT WANT ANY MORE OF YOURS STUPID EMAILS. STOP SENDING ME OR I WILL SUE." There were at least five of these per day, often more. Even pointing out to these morons "The unsubscription instructions are at the bottom of every email", roughly two or three times a day, didn't clue them in. (It seems logical that people who are too illiterate to read unsubscription instructions are too illiterate to read directions on where to find those instructions.) And I think that people who use software that hides headers from them should simply learn to force it to show those headers, and should look in those headers when they're puzzled about something relating to a message. While I'd like to see this become a standard behavior, I don't think it is one now, and expecting people to follow it is a little unreasonable. Encouraging them to is another story entirely. But I certainly don't think that including unsubscription instructions at the bottom of each post will have any effect on the density of unsubscribe requests. - Kai MacTane System Administrator Online Partners.com, Inc. - From the Jargon File: (v4.0.0, 25 Jul 1996) finger trouble /n./ Mistyping, typos, or generalized keyboard incompetence (this is surprisingly common among hackers, given the amount of time they spend at keyboards).

This is slightly off-topic, so I'm going to throw this into the ring and interested parties should take it to private email. It relates to the discussion of RPM-izing dnscache. I've built a set of init scripts for redhat 6.1 (and presumably other RH vers) that use daemontools through the RedHat initscripts mechanism. Currently, I've got 'service', 'dnscache', and 'qmail.' 'service' controls svscan in /service. 'dnscache' uses 'svc' to manipulate /service/dnscache, which is a link to /etc/dnscache, as is the default install using dnscache-conf. 'qmail' uses 'svc' to manipulate /service/qmail-smtpd and /service/qmail-send, which are links to supervise trees as described in Dave Sill's "Life with qmail." The idea is that when the system comes up, /etc/rc.d/init.d/service gets called to get svscan/supervise up and running. Once that's been done, the /etc/rc.d/init.d/dnscache and /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail scripts can use 'svc' to control everything rather simply. I think it's a good balance between the default RedHat mechanism and the way DJB-ware installs itself. The dnscache installation is unchanged - this merely wraps the svc usage inside the more familiar (for some) RedHat version of SysV init scripts. The reason I'm posting this is because there's a lot of talk on the dnscache list about wrapping dnscache in an RPM. Qmail + dnscache (appear to me to be) a great combination; this makes it easier to use them in concert and to use daemontools to its best advantage, while keeping the SysV init method of system control. If someone is putting together a set of RPMs, this might allow them to have a common control method. If anyone is interested in looking/playing with these, drop me a line. -- gowen -- Greg Owen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Qmail + Amavis Problem
Hi, We are using Amavis-0.2.0-pre6-clm-rl-5 with qmail 1.03. When sending or receiving email the server works fine, but since we have installed Amavis any messages that are rejected (bounced via qmail-send?) due to "no mailbox here by this name" errors are not bounced back to the sender. But if we remove Amavis the bounced message is received ok by the sender. However if Amavis sends a bounce message due to a virus being discovered in the email, the bounce message arrives ok. We are running amavis by replacing the qmail-remote / qmail-local files with a sym link to scanmails as recommended. Any Ideas on how to resolve the problem ? Thanks Regards, Michael East JAK Internet

bounces from a spam filter
I just started using qmail, for outgoing mail only. (I'm on a DSL line, and the DSL ISP's mail servers are flakey. Incoming mail -- via a different ISP that hosts my domain -- works fine. Unfortunately, I can't use their outgoing SMTP server since I'm not dialed in on one of their lines.) Most of my email gets sent successfully (this post, for example). But I've run into one site that bounces messages with a "Your SPAM not welcome" error. I've noticed that vrfy reports the same error: vrfy -vv [EMAIL PROTECTED] vrfy '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' at 'xyz.somewhere.gov' connecting to xyz.somewhere.gov (x.y.z.w) port 25 220 xyz.somewhere.gov ESMTP Sendmail 8.9.3/8.9.3; Wed, 29 Mar 2000 18:06:06 -0500 (EST) VRFY [EMAIL PROTECTED] 550 Your SPAM not welcome Your SPAM not welcome QUIT 221 [EMAIL PROTECTED] closing connection [EMAIL PROTECTED] ...

rcpthosts ignored
Hi I am testing qmail and have a problem in that the rcpthosts file is being ignored. For testing purposes I'm just running rc manually and using inetd for the qmail-smtp. Everything is installed in the default areas. If I do a qmail-inject [EMAIL PROTECTED] the log simply says starting delivery 12: msg 407854 to remote [EMAIL PROTECTED] if I send to the same address via SMTP I get starting delivery 13: msg 407860 to local @mail.mydns.com.au (it has substituted control/me for the address and lost the recipient completely). This behaviour is expected when you have the RELAYCLIENT variable set right? Well I don't have it set anywhere. Plus I have taken tcpserver out of the picture anyway by using inetd for smtp. (/etc/hosts.allow is empty) Yet it is still doing it. I just want the default behaviour back! :-) It didn't always do this - when I first installed it is worked great (user fault :-).

blank lines in header?
In response to my last post on this list, I got email from Joseph Junkin saying that my mail looked really strange on his system. Apparently, something is inserting blank lines into the header which obviously screws things up. I'm attaching a sample below. I'm using qmail for outgoing mail on my end, he's using qmail for incoming mail on his end. Oddly, if I use a different mailer (still going out through qmail) it works ok. But I can't see any obvious problem in the headers from the bad mailer. I even tried setting up the mailer to dump mail out through 'qmail-inject -n' and the result looks fine (no blank lines). If I send mail to another non-local account of mine, it looks fine. I've sent mail to other people with no problems. As far as I can tell, the problem only occurs if I use one specific mailer and send mail to Joseph. I also noticed that my two previous posts to this list didn't end up in the www.ornl.gov archive. Maybe they're being discarded because of the same problem? I'm sending this post using the possibly-bad mailer, if anyone wants to look at the headers.

I've tried to reinstall the qmail but it goes nothing. if I NMAP the server then it tells that port 25 is opened So how to fix this ? --- AFLHI 058009990407128029/089802---(102598//991024) +---+ | fffhh Dr. Erwin Hoffmann | | ff hh| | ffeee ccc ooomm mm mm Wiener Weg 8 | | fff ee ee hh hh cc oo oo mmm mm mm 50858 Koeln| | ff ee eee hh hh cc oo oo mm mm mm| | ff eee hh hh cc oo oo mm mm mm Tel 0221 484 4923 | | ff hh hhccc ooomm mm mm Fax 0221 484 4924 | +---+

hi all
is it possible to e.g. edit the subject line of each mail for a user
[EMAIL PROTECTED] before it's delivered to his local mailbox or forwarded to the
final address ?
Aber natürlich, here is a script to rewrite headers.
put this in your .qmail-file:
| /usr/local/bin/tagmail3.pl | forward [EMAIL PROTECTED]
% -- cut here
#!/usr/bin/perl
# tagmail3.pl; 1999-11-09; [EMAIL PROTECTED]
use strict;
# read mail and split into hdr and body
my ($hdr, $body);
while (STDIN)
{
last if /^[\r\n]*$/;
if (/^\s/) {
$hdr .= $_;
next;
}
$hdr .= $_;
next;
}
$body = join '',STDIN;
#
# FIX SOMETHING HERE
#
$hdr =~ s/^(subject:\s*)(.*)$/$1 [FORWARDED MAIL] $2/mi;
# print mail
print "$hdr\n$body";
% -- cut here
Re: rcpthosts ignored
Hi, we need some more configuration details. Pipe /var/qmail/bin/qmail-showctl to a file and post it in this list. cheers. eh.
