Group Wise SMTP System
Hi there, Is there any way that we can configure the smtp server in such a way that we can customize according to a certain group. Like for a group called blah, I want to use smtp.abc.com and for blah1 I want to user smtp.abc1.com. Any suggestion or documentation. Thank you. Warm Reards, Ranjan
Working with SerialMail and Queue
Hi to all. Sorry if I already post a similar question, but i don't understand the best way that should I follow. I've installed qmail with vpopmail, qmailadmin and sqwebmail and I manage many domains and users very efficently via web. My problem was to manage the queue manually, to send E-Mail only at some hours (ex. 8 am and 5pm). You and others told me to try serialmail or work with switch, but unlikely i'm not very well (i'm newbies about administration...) and my ideas are very confused. Can someone help me to explain how can i have to use serialmail (or other way) to do this with the products that i have already installed? Whatever help is appreciated. Thanks for your patience, --Carlo Carlo Manuali Centro d'Ateneo per i Servizi Informatici (CASI) University of Perugia ITALY
moving part of the queue
Hi, as part of performance increase, I'm thinking of moving part of my qmail queue/mess dir (half of the subdirs there ) to another disk and creating symbolic links to there. I suppose qmail still functions then (after I've run queue-fix)? Do I need to pay special attention as to which dirs I move to create a balanced system (probably not, but it doesn't hurt to ask)?

UREGENT: SMTP domains getting resolved as Local
I am facing a strange problem. All the mails, for the SMTP user, which are to be smtp to remote servers getting resolved as local. There are pop users also existing for the domain name, so i have to keep the domain name in 'local' file. For SMTP users the alias has been defined and as per the alias the enteries are made in SMTProuytes file. The setup has been working fine for last 6 months. Suddenly today morning i found the smtp is not working. I tried by recreating the locals and smtp routes file it doesn't help. If i remove the domain name form local the mails start getting smtp, but then pop users get affected. kindly suggest what could be the problem. Ravi

How does qmail decide about the number subdir: It finds out the inode of the file just created, and takes this number modulo 23 (or, more precisely, modulo `head -1 conf-split`). It also assumes that a simple move of the file from intd(?) to mess doesn't change the inode number. It shows that it's not possible to split the queue/mess that way. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: PGP 6.0.2 -- QDPGP 2.60 Comment: http://community.wow.net/grt/qdpgp.html iQA/AwUBOSD8x1MwP8g7qbw/EQJ4+wCgy+X7+oEqdeJHKHgEs0TPkPTqoYgAmgMg CW6bn1sWbWc9N6S1dLOstYvS =v9wA -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- Petr Novotny, ANTEK CS [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.antek.cz PGP key ID: 0x3BA9BC3F -- Don't you know there ain't no devil there's just God when he's drunk.

Several mail domains on a single host (POP3/userdb ?...)
Hi, I want to set several domains on a single host. Each domain has its own DNS entry, like this : mail.domain1.com (with an IP address) mail.domain2.com (with the same or another IP address - no matter for me) I set my virtualhosts to have two virtual domains : domain1-com and domain2-com. And, then, I've got several users for each domain. For example : - domain1-com-toto - domain1-com-titi - domain2-com-tata - domain2-com toto And so on, set in my users/assign file. Then, I wanna use a POP connection, along with userdb (and nothing else than userdb) to allow people to retreive their mail. How can I set "things" (either the POP system or userdb) to allow users to identify as "toto", "titi" and "tata", and, depending on the server they are accessing (mail.domain1.com or mail.domain2.com), "redirect" them to the right mailbox ?... (i.e. domain1-com-toto for toto if he connects to mail.domain1.com and so on). And, furthermore, I'd like my userdb users to be different on each domain (domain1-com-toto wouldn't be the same as domain2-com-toto). Any clues ? Thanks... P.-J.

Out of free storage on IMAP and POP
Hi, Not directly related to do with qmail, but... I have IMAP-4.5 (Mark Crispins c-client) running on an open BSD machine with Maildir extensions written by Mathias Larrson. On a large attachment I am getting (~33MB): ipop3d[6948]: IMAP toolkit crash: Out of free storage This happens on both IMAP and POP protocols. Both seem to be trying to load the whole attachment into memory before sending it. I have fixed the problem on the pop side by using another pop daemon that seems to send little chunks at a time (as opposed to loading the whole message with attachment into memory before sending it). Does anyone know how to stop the IMAP and POP daemons from loading the whole message into memory before sending it to the client? Thanks Geoff
users/assign and Taylor UUCP (unrelated)
Hi all. Two completely unrelated questions: 1) Let's suppose that I decide to centralize virtual domains redirection in users/assign, by adding in virtualdomains entries like these: domain1.com:domain1-com blah.org:blah-org And entries like these in users/assign: domain1-com-luser1:luser1:2020:200:/home/luser1::: blah-org-superluser:1036:200:/home/superluser::: Okay. Now let's suppose that I have an address in the blah.org domain that doesn't correspond to any local user; instead, mail to that address should be directly forwarded to another host. How do I do that? I had thought of adding in qmail/alias a file a .qmail-blah-org-(username) file, but I don't know if that's the right way, nor I really like it too much, frankly (I'd prefer to have all the information about users in virtual domains available in one place, instead of scattered between qmail/users and qmail/alias). So... is there any other way? 2) Taylor UUCP (to be exact, the one that comes with Red Hat Linux 6.x) and qmail. Is there a step-to-step guide, a sort of HOWTO, for it? I have qmail working succesfully with HDB UUCP for a number of sites, but some months ago, when I had to make it work with Red Hat-Taylor UUCP, I ran into endless problems and ended up doing a quick serialmail-AutoTURN hack (I can't remember exactly what went wrong, though I think it had to do with the rmail of the client's server not being able to rewrite correctly the From: address (no, we don't use bang addresses, just regular Internet ones)).

Adding local IP address to ipme
I have a farm of qmail servers sitting behind a load balancer. I'm having a problem with being a secondary MX for a domain, because the individual qmail servers in the farm don't realize that the IP address of the load balancer actually points to them. They keep trying to re-deliver to the load balancer's address, which connects them back to a different mail server within the farm, which does the same thing, until the message bounces because of too many hops. Is there a patch that will let me add addresses to the ipme structure that qmail uses to determine whether the MX record for a host is actually itself? Reading back over that, it's a little confusing. Here's an example. I have 25 qmail servers, 10.0.0.1 through 10.0.0.25. The load balancer, which will semi-randomly select one of the actual servers to pass the connection on to, has an address of 1.2.3.4. Domains for which we are a secondary MX have a less preferred MX record that points to 1.2.3.4. When a message comes in to be queued, it comes in to 1.2.3.4, which is redirected to (for example) 10.0.0.5. The domain is in its rcpthosts, but not its locals, so 10.0.0.5 tries to forward it on to the next best-preference MX. It tries to connect to the primary MX, fails, and then tries to connect to the secondary, 1.2.3.4. It doesn't realize that it is already handling mail for 1.2.3.4, so it opens up another connection to 1.2.3.4, which redirects it to (for example) 10.0.0.16. This process repeats until the message bounces. I'm looking at patching ipme.c and giving it a config file, but it seems to me that somebody must have already done this. Can anybody point me in the right direction? I'm using qmail-1.0.3+ldap. Thanks, --ScottG.

Re: Group Wise SMTP System
Hi there, Is there any way that we can configure the smtp server in such a way that we can customize according to a certain group. Like for a group called blah, I want to use smtp.abc.com and for blah1 I want to user smtp.abc1.com. Any suggestion or documentation. Thank you. Warm Reards, Ranjan For a quick and dirty hack, you could make .qmail-user files that forwarded to the appropo server on a per user basis, or for a more centralized/easier to manage thing, maybe setup fastforward to use a sendmail aliases file. You could also get into some advanced .qmail-default tricks if you wanted to; something like the following in .qmail-default would probably do the trick though... # .qmail-default - WARNING - UNTESTED - MAY NOT WORK AT ALL # | if `egrep -wq $LOCAL -f /path/group1` ; then forward $[EMAIL PROTECTED] ; fi | if `egrep -wq $LOCAL -f /path/group2` ; then forward $[EMAIL PROTECTED] ; fi # # Repeat for each group, and then put usernames in appropo group on SMTP # server. Not sure about the above .qmail trick, it's not somehing I've ever done anything similar to in practice, and I'm not positive the |'d input will work in the midst of a if/fi statement but in theory it seems logical to me. :) Cheers! -- A.L. -- If what they've been doing hasn't solved the problem, tell them to do something else. -- Gerald Weinberg, "The Secrets of Consulting" --

Here's the header from ORBS, with enough changed so that any spammers watching won't get ideas. :) From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Apr 22 09:27:47 2000 Received: from toolbox.spammy.net (toolbox.spammy.net [127.0.0.2]) by mail2.manawatu.net.nz (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id FAA05197 for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Sat, 22 Apr 2000 05:59:36 +1200 X-Remote-IP: 127.0.0.2 Date: Sat, 22 Apr 2000 05:59:36 +1200 Received: (qmail 15431 invoked by alias); 21 Apr 2000 13:59:31 - Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]@pop.spammy.net Received: (qmail 15413 invoked from network); 21 Apr 2000 13:59:31 - Received: from unknown (HELO relaytest.orbs.vuurwerk.nl) (194.178.232.55) by pop.spammy.net with SMTP; 21 Apr 2000 13:59:31 - To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]@pop.spammy.net From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-Token: ckpfbvvorqbdqnlp X-Envelope-Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-Envelope-Recipient: [EMAIL PROTECTED]@pop.spammy.net Message-Id: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: ORBS Relay Test - 127.0.0.1 We're using the fastforward alias system.(version fastforward-0.51) Greg

Re: distributed redundnat queue architecture (for M Bowman)
Peter van Dijk wrote: this [hypothetical] architecture could result in something similar to usenet Do note that usenet was never designed to guarantee message delivery. Usenet was designed for non-reliable wide-scale messaging. I just meant, it is another architecture where you have redunant data on widely spaced peers. Later, imagining that Bowman wants to guarantee to the corporal in the battlefield who has e-mailed his situation in to HQ, that his smtp 250 from the server means the message will get through even if his immediate mail server gets hit by a missle immediately after sending the code. To implement this, the server would, before issuing the 250, open a channel to a peer and copy the message as far away as possible -- or even attempt immediate delivery -- all BEFORE giving the 250 response. So, 250 on this smtpd does not merely mean "I have taken responsibility for transferring this message" but "I have transferred the message off site already" destination MUAs would need to discard based on redundant message IDs, et cetera I'll stop now...

Re: Pummelling limiting, again
John R Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: causing thrashing and other disasters. So their solution is to let you set a limit on the number of simultaneous connections from a single host and reject mail (not connections) if there are more than that. Surely it is a Reject rather than defer? I predict lots more complaints from users, than they probably make already about their mail delivery being slow, if they do that. Mad. James.

qpage and qmail
Hello, I'm trying to make a simple email-pager gateway for my work, where you email [EMAIL PROTECTED] and it uses the .qmail-default file to dial the TAP number and delivers the page using SNPP. Does anyone here have experience in getting this to work, hopefully using qpage (just because its the paging program I know), but any other sort of configuration would be stupendous. Basically what I tried doing is making my .qmail-default file as | /usr/local/bin/qpage -l 0 -m -p $LOCAL but when I send it an email, it gets stuck in the local queue instead of going to the paging program (yes, the daemon for that is running), and /var/log/maillog just says: May 16 17:05:51 level3 qmail: 958521951.615228 new msg 58324 May 16 17:05:51 level3 qmail: 958521951.615501 info msg 58324: bytes 815 from [EMAIL PROTECTED] qp 1019 uid 0 May 16 17:05:51 level3 qmail: 958521951.617920 starting delivery 19: msg 58324 to local [EMAIL PROTECTED] May 16 17:05:51 level3 qmail: 958521951.618029 status: local 1/10 remote 0/20 May 16 17:05:51 level3 qmail: 958521951.635469 delivery 19: deferral: Message_does_not_start_with_From_/No_message!/ May 16 17:05:51 level3 qmail: 958521951.635699 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20 If anyone had ideas or experience with this I'd really appreciate it.

Re: multiple auto-reply messgs...(simple??)
Marcelo J Iturbe [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Maybe I am going around this all wrong. I am having troubles creating the auto-reply scripts. The script is in PERL and I am trying to capture the message. I tried to do a print on ARGV and ENV but both arrays are empty. How do I grab the email message? The full incoming message is available on stdin. See the qmail-command man page for the details. I would also like to modify the subject line of the message before it gets sent to the "common" pop account. You can't do this without creating a new mail message and resending it to the common POP account address. You also shouldn't need to; I presume that the purpose is to support filtering, which you can just as easily do based on the To and Cc headers (or even the Delivered-To header). -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/
RE: long delays in delivery
Thanks to those who replied. It's also possible that there are a large number of mails queued for one remote site that is broken. was what it was, we had the concurrencyremote set to 50, I increased this to 200, (there seems to be a coded limit of 120?) and it got around the problem. -Original Message- From: James R Grinter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 17, 2000 11:30 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: long delays in delivery "Andrew Gray" [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Having some huge problems with qmail delaying sending is the 'trigger' file present and correct? /var/qmail/queue/lock/trigger should have the perms and ownerships: prw--w--w- 1 qmails qmail 0 May 17 02:33 trigger Dave Sill's "Living with Qmail" has more info about that sort of problem.

I am relatively new to this, but how do you get the encrypted password into the assign files? I am trying to setup the pop3 users and I need to create the assigns file. Do you use the unix's crypt command and then cut and paste this into the file? What key do you use to encrypt the password using the crypt command? Do you use the root user's password as the key? thanks

[snip] maildirsmtp is part of the serialmail package (by Dan Bernstein) and it sends a maildir through SMTP. All outgoing mail on my machine goes directly to a local maildir (using a virtual domain). I'm flushing that maildir when PPP goes up with maildirsmtp and the mail sends through my ISP. Look at the serialmail homepage for more info. One alternative is to keep outgoing mail in the ordinary queue and signal qmail-send ALRM when PPP goes up. -- Jörgen Persson
