Hello everyone. I would really appreciate any help that can be offered. First, in the interest of full disclosure let me say that I am a newbie to Linux and qmail. I have managed to install our Redhat 6.1 system and get it connected to our LAN and the Internet. I now would like to set up the Linux machine as a mail server. Following the instructures given on Life with qmail, I am trying to install qmail using the source codes. So far I a have downloaded qmail and the two add-ons (daemontools and ucspi-tcp), and followed the steps up to building (Section 2.5.5 in Life with qmail). In the qmail-1.03 subdirectory, I typed make setup check After a series of compling, I get the following response: fatal: unable to find user alias make: ***[auto_iods/c] Error 111 , and end up back at the root prompt. Then, following the next directions, I typed ./config and then ./config-fast our.full.hostname at this prompt. I got the following response: bash: ./config: No such file or directory bash* ./config-fast: No such file or directory I have checked the user account tab in linuxconf treemenu and there are users and aliases. My user account is Caroline and my e-mail alias is MAILER-DAEMON. The user account is there. My questions are: 1. Why did the make setup check command not find user alias file? How do I create one? 2. Is the make+***[auto_iods/c}Error 111 warning a different problem. If so, how do I correct this? 3. Why doesn't the ./config or ./config-fast command work? Will it work once the user alias problem is fixed? Thanks in advance for any advice. I sure need it. CarolineT
linux and reiserfs
Hi, I've two questions: 1) I'm planning on using qmail with Redhat linux for a high-load machine (hardware raid scsi disks). Now I don't want to know which linux is better, but I would like to know what extra tuning the operating system requires? Does hdparm can boost the HW raid I/O performance? Do I need to fiddle in the /proc VFS for file-max,inode-max and stuff? A guideline for getting the most out of qmail+linux would be great. 2) I've found many remarks on qmail and reiserfs, but nobody agrees on wether it's good or bad. So I won't start that here all over again but I would like to ask: does anybody use qmail+reiserfs on a high-load production machine? If so, what OS do you recommend and which extra patches to qmail do you suggest/apply? Is it running stable, can it survive crashes? How did you mount/created your reiserfs? Franky

Thank you first.
I am writing a linux application trying to send email to a qmail server. I
am able to send a very small sized data across successfully and receive in
in a mailbox ok, but when the data size becomes larger, it seems that the
email vanished in the air!
Any idea? Below is the code...
==
sockfd = socket ( PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0 );
ina.sin_family = AF_INET;
ina.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr ( server );
ina.sin_port = htons ( portnum );
memset ( ina.sin_zero, 0, 8 );
connect ( sockfd, ( struct sockaddr * ) ina, sizeof ( struct
sockaddr ) );
slen = strlen ( pstr );
ptmp = pstr;
sentlen = 0;
leftover = slen;
do {
sentlen = send ( sockfd, ptmp, slen-sentlen, 0 );
ptmp += sentlen;
} while ( ptmp ( pstr + slen ) );
shutdown ( sockfd, 2 );
close ( sockfd );

two questions
hi ! I have qmail installed to deliver messages to mbox style mailboxes. Is there an easy way to change it to Maildir ? And next question - my users want to check their mailboxes via www. Could you recommend me some program allowing this working fine with qmail ? I have found oMail 0.94. What do you think of it ? Does it work fine and is secure ? I have to add security is my first concern. regards, Dariusz Zmokly
RE: Duplicate messages.
The .qmail-default contains the following.
| /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail ''
/home/vpopmail/domains/d-vision.com/andy
| /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail ''
/home/vpopmail/domains/d-vision.com/randy
We want it to go to both users. And we have several other domains that are
setup the same way. I'm not sure why this one would be unique in that
circumstance. Since I've created the .qmail- files for each user we have
not received any duplicate messages. So I think that fixed the problem.
But I really don't like that fix.

This is wrong. vdelivermail will deliver to *all* header recipients, every

You'd be better off making an alias, say [EMAIL PROTECTED], that

Vietse's attack was (modified a bit): while true; do qmail-queue kill $! done This creates 0 length files in /var/qmail/queue/mess until inodes get exhausted. And manual intervention/recovery certainly seems needed. Dan's response was that this is not completely anonymous since people are supposed to do process accounting.

Qmail repeating system name in address
First let me state that I'm sure this is a rather stupid question, but I was stumped by it for a bit. If this is covered in a HOWTO or other document somewhere, please feel free to refer me to said document. I've been attempting to setup a qmail server for a short time now. I've looked at several different sources of documentation and each of them seem to have a different manner of going about the setup. For right now, I'm not overly concerned with all the nifty optional items. I would much rather get a simple qmail install up and running and then look into tweaking it to my needs. As it stands currently I've been stuck at testing local delivery. Every test message I tried would result in a bounce. In the bounced message I could see that for some reason qmail was adding additional information to the addresses. For example if I addressed a message to "user@system" the bounce message would show "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". I only have three control files at the moment: me, locals, and rcpthosts. All of these files have the same information in them. Originally this entry was "system". However in order to stop qmail from repeating I had to change this to "system.". Can someone explain why this was necessary? I feel that if I understand this, it will help with future delivery problems. Jamin W. Collins

Re: removing Delivered-To header...?
Quoting Peter Cavender ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): Hi- I have a qmail server hosting several virtual domains, and all mail delivered to recipients in the virtual domains have a Delivered-To header line indicating the "main" domain name of the server. Fascinating. Is that a government secret, or something? haha - no, I just host several domains for third parties, and the people on domain3 ask why domain1 shows up in their mail headers... Just trying to make my mail services *completely* virtualized. People at local-bapist-church.org wouldn't want hot-sex-pics.com in their mail headers. ;-) Doesn't the Received header also mention what your domain name is? Not an issue for me - I only have incoming POP boxes, no relaying. I want to delete this line, and I understand that the -d option to preline is the way to do this, but *where* do do do this? Hmmm, but what program will you use to actually do the delivery? You don't mention what mailbox format you're using. Vanilla Maildir delivery on local machine. Anyway, Delivered-To is there to prevent mail loops. Not all that terrific an idea to cut them out. Hmmm... --Pete

Re: Implementation of ETRN
On Thu, Nov 16, 2000 at 08:55:03AM -0600, Charles Cazabon wrote:
Essentially you want AutoTURN. It's better than ETRN and requires no
special support by the client.
We use a similar approach.
However, we do queue the eMails in Maildirs mapped to domain names,
i.e. /var/qmail/etrn/example.com
which contains a
.qmail-default ./Maildir/
./Maildir
RELAYHOST1.2.3.4 # defines IP to deliver to
Via tcpserver and ACLs we do mappings like
1.2.3.4:allow,RELAYCLIENT="",ETRN="example.com"
This allows us to define IPs that trigger AutoTURN for a specific
domain (and the IP that triggers AutoTURN hasn't even to be the
mailserver the mails get delivered to).
However there are some mailservers that are set up to explicitely
"trigger" ETRN that give up with qmail as qmail doesn't know about ETRN
commands. Give up means even if they are configured to e.g. connect
every 30 minutes to ETRN they stop at all as they get a 500 code from qmail.
I have added this code to qmail-smtpd.c:
(sorry no patch, as we're still on a qmail-1.01 and it is *heavily*
patched, so a patch would not apply).
char *env_etrn;
in getenvs() add
env_etrn = env_get("ETRN");
/* */
void smtp_etrn(arg) char *arg; {
if (env_etrn) { out("250 OK, queuing for node "); out(env_etrn); out("
started\r\n"); }
else { if (!arg) { out("500 Syntax Error\r\n"); }
else { out("459 Node "); out(arg); out(" not allowed: not
configured\r\n"); }
}
}
/* */
and also add
{ smtp_etrn, "etrn", 1 }
to the smtpcmd[] struct.
tcpserver now starts a script "qmail-smtpd-etrn" that looks like this:
#
#!/bin/sh
[ ! -z "$ETRN" ] {
(
exec /dev/null /dev/null 21
/var/qmail/bin/sm-delivery $ETRN /dev/null 21 | /var/qmail/bin/splogger
"serialsmtp" 17
)
}
exec /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
#
/var/qmail/bin/sm-delivery in turn is a small script that basically
- exists, if it can't get a lock on
/var/qmail/etrn/$ETRN/RELAYHOST
- otherwise locks /var/qmail/etrn/$ETRN/RELAYHOST and starts delivering
eMails from /var/qmail/etrn/$ETRN/Maildir via maildirsmtp to the host
listed in /var/qmail/etrn/$ETRN/RELAYHOST

Re: Qmail repeating system name in address
Just a few messages ago, I asked almost the same question. Here's what Charles Cazabon told me: qmail-inject (which is called by the sendmail wrapper) appends /var/qmail/control/defaultdomain to any hostname not containing a dot. It's in the manpage for qmail-inject. The quick solution is to send your mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of localhost. So in your case: Don't send your mail to just user@system, but to [EMAIL PROTECTED] In addition (again thanks to Charles) you could try adding system.system to your locals file. - Original Message - From: "Dave Sill" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 16, 2000 7:42 PM Subject: Re: Qmail repeating system name in address Jamin Collins [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: As it stands currently I've been stuck at testing local delivery.

Re: secrets and lies
Thus spake Mate Wierdl ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): I thought it was possible that Dan would give some hints on his view on secure programming in these notes. Don't talk. Read his code and you will understand. Software is secure iff the architecture and trust model is sound, which you can verify yourself in a few hours. You make software security look easy, and Schneier's book tells me otherwise. Software security _is_ easy. The correct paradigms have been published for decades. It is only non-trivial to write good (and secure) software if you use legacy APIs that make it unnecessarily hard on you. That's why Dan decided to not use many routines from the standard C library. Actually, he has written many notes on his reasoning, you just have to look instead of posting here and thinking that maybe others do the work for you. 1) It seems that systematic (scientific?) testing of qmail or djbdns has not happened---except by Dan. Had you actually read the Schneier, you would know that no testing in the world can prove the security of a system. Testing can only prove that a system is not secure. 2) The only way we could get a hint on the guiding ideas of Dan on secure computing is to read the source code he writes. Or you could read a few books or papers about security. The guidelines are easy and easily understood and implemented. For example, minimizing the trusted computing base and But this is reverse engineering, and is similar to trying to undertand Gauss's ideas by reading his proofs---good luck. Reconstructing the source code from a binary program is reverse engineering. Reading the source code is not. And source code is a formal representation of an algorithm, not a proof. An algorithm would tell you how to prove something. Understanding Gauss by his proofs is like understanding djb by looking at an RPM. It is still possible, by the way, because the man pages are great. Or does everybody on this list who read qmail's sources is writing 100% secure software now? Why don't just read the sources yourself and find out? Does everybody have a clear idea what Dan considers a security problem? A buffer overflow on the stack, for example. For example, he clearly does not care about preventing some DoS attacks. Your oversimplifications border on intention deconstructivism. Read his fscking web pages and find your questions answered.

Strange 550 errors to ???
I have had my qmail setup for several years and just now have started to notice that some recipients are returning: 550 relaying mail to ... is not allowed. This happens when a virtual user is relaying through my server and the servername is not the same as the recipient. For example: I send mail from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and it is rejected with the above error. However if I send mail from the domain that is listed in defaultdomain "laschools.org" it works fine. This has happened both times on university sites. exchange.calstatela.edu and ucla.edu. Could it be an exchange server setup that is bad. Or do I have something misconfigured for all this time and didn't know it.

Re: control files on an NFS share?
Ben Beuchler [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Our one qmail/vpopmail server is about to become a node in a load balanced pool of mail servers. I plan to mount the queue via NFS (I am now, in fact) but am wondering about the control files. It seems that at least SOME of them should be safe to share over NFS. Any thoughts or recommendations? We have stored all configuration files (save 'me') on NFS for about 8 months now, with no problem. It does put quite a bit of additional strain on the NFS server, though; I'm looking at moving control to a RAMdisk, and just copying from the NFS server when qmail is restarted. We also store spool on NFS with no problems. We've stored queue on NFS in the past, and while we didn't see any lost mail, we did see huge performance problems, and had to move it to local storage. --ScottG.
Re: qmail 1.04
I made two mistakes, when I wrote that I want to have a cdb ;-) We're currently experiencing some temporary performance problems with our qmail server. This is due to large smtproutes and rcpthosts files and some I/O bottleneck on the disk they're located. Mistake 1) A cdb wouldn't help with this problem, as its usually even slightly larger Mistake 2) virtualdomains is only read once and kept im memory. Making a cdb out of virtualdomains wouldn't help with the bottleneck ;-) Right. But you're assuming that qmail-send would read the whole of virtualdomains in at startup when it's a cdb file. I would imagine a more sensible strategy would be to read the relevant entry per email - as is done with the other cdb files. Regards.
Temporary long delay (Qmail and Real -Time )
I have strange delay -- If clients (or other servers) d't use my SMTP server during 10 (or more) minutes appear timaut about 1 min. After this timeout all working OK - without some timeout till next pause from work SMTP server... I use tcpserver with -R -H options and Slackware linux... I suspect this problem have to do with reduce process prioritet and remove all qmail daemons to swap... How I can avoid this ???

I'd be surprised if it's a swap issue. qmail-smtpd and qmail-queue are very small programs. Have you used things like vmstat to confirm your suspicion about swapping? You also need to give us more details about the delays. Where do they occur exactly? When the remote site tries to connect? When the mail is accepted and placed in the queue? When it's in the queue and waiting to be delivered? What happens when you do a manual smtp session to your server using telnet? Where do you see the delays? Regards.
