qmail license
Hi, this might seem like a stupid question but I really *did* bother quite a while with the subject before asking here. Someone else asked me what exactly the qmail license ist about. So I was looking for "the license". I searched LWQ and google but everything I found is a statement about limitaions for qmail-distributors and DJB's opinion about licenses. Well, This does no have something to do with the qmail license, does it? Is there a statement anywhere on the aouthors website that grants the right to use qmail for any purpose as long as you just do not redistribute it? Is there a statement that qmail can be used free of charge? I did not fint a hint in "Running qmail" either (but there I might have overseen it). thanks for any explanation /ch

hint for MDaemon users
MDaemon has an option very similar to fetchmail's 'qvirtual' option
(for stripping prefixes off Delivered-To lines). It's in the
'DomainPOP Mail Collection' config box, tab 'Processing'. Bottom box
named 'Address Processing'. Tick first box ('Strip Text From Left')
and enter text to be stripped in the textbox.
Some of your customers may be interested in this. I now hacked my
forward-wrapper to fix up DTLINE without the prefix, because some of
our customers have severely broken mailers.

smtproutes
I am planning to use smtproutes to route email from a qmail server to an internal Microsoft Exchange 5.5 server. If the Exchange server goes down for a period of time, will the qmail server cache (for lack of a better word) the routed emails locally until the Exchange server comes back up? or will the qmail server bounce the email back (after a given amount of time)?

Re: Qmail and GFS
[EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I'd like to get a bit of advice on this one. I know that NFS is a big no-no when using qmail due to the way it handles the queue. I also know that qmail may have trouble with certain journaling filesystems (for example, reiserfs) because qmail assumes that link() and unlink() are syncronous operations (according to the reiserfs FAQ). I knew I'd seen the requirements explicitly mentioned somewhere. Then I had occasion to build qmail from scratch the other day and found it: % cat conf-qmail /var/qmail This is the qmail home directory. It must be a local directory, not shared among machines. This is where qmail queues all mail messages. The queue (except for bounce message contents) is crashproof, if the filesystem guarantees that single-byte writes are atomic and that directory operations are synchronous. These guarantees are provided by fixed-block filesystems such as UFS and by journaling filesystems. Under Linux, make sure that all mail-handling filesystems are mounted with synchronous metadata. ie. semantics that local Unix filesystems are supposed to conform to (but which Reiserfs apparently doesn't). Does GFS? That's the question.. James.

So for safety, you either have to mount the filesystem with synchonous metadata (as I said above), or have your program sync the directory of a file after syncing the file. Bruce Guenter's SRPM of qmail includes a patch which does the directory sync, so you don't have to mount the filesystem with synchronous metadata for safety.

qmail - how bundle mails?
Hi, how does i reach, so that qmail will send mail to different users in the same domain as bundle? e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] with one connection, so that only one mail must be send over the net with the information to the smtp server, that this mail is for more user. the background is: I've a mailing list server, and we pay for traffic. On the server ist installed qmail, vpopmail and ezmlm. any ideas? tom

Wildcards in badmailfrom?
Hey all, I have a really annoying spammer on my hands and just wonder if it is possible to use wildcards in badmailfrom? Originally I added [EMAIL PROTECTED] to badmailfrom and that blocked it for about a month. Then he got halfway smart and changed his sender address to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for which I added @tpts6.seed.net.tw to badmailfrom. This however, only worked for a few minutes as he is apparently starting to create random names for mail hosts. Here is a list that I have collected so far @tpts4.seed.net.tw @mx.seed.net.tw @ara.seed.net.tw @tpts6.seed.net.tw @sky.seed.net.tw @iris.seed.net.tw @giga.net.tw @party.seed.net.tw @ksmail.seed.net.tw @saturn.seed.net.tw @tpts7.seed.net.tw Now, my question is, would it be possible to block as in @*.seed.net.tw Thanks. I guess I could always try it to see what it does but I would rather know before hand---the man page doesn't mention anything about wildcards. Andy

Failure notice Headers
Hi, How i can personalise the failure notice and add X-Complaint-to:[EMAIL PROTECTED] in headers ? I have a server with a name ndsoftware.net when i make a lookup on ip.

You mean someone deleted them or the disk got trashed, right? The usual thing is to get it off of your backup. Does this not work for you? If you're asking for a magic way to get a file back that has been deleted/trashed and which you have no backup, then you're out of luck. This is not a qmail problem though, this is a system management problem. Regards.

Re: can't connect to smtp
Have you checked your tcpserver logs to see what it thinks is going on? If there is no record of your attempt to connect, it means it is not listening on port 25. Otherwise it may tell you why you are being refused. Just in case--did you re/compile the rules file?

Russ,
Find attached a quick script I hacked up to use with Bruce Guenter's
QMAILQUEUE patch. I have it installed on my system as
/var/qmail/libexec/qqrbl and run it via
':allow,QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/libexec/qqrbl"' in my tcpserver config
file.
Uses the Mail::RBL module (note that Mail::RBL thinks it requires a
really recent version of Perl, but if you change the 'our $VERSION'
variable to 'use vars qw($VERSION)' and get rid of the 'use
warnings.pm', it runs just fine under 5.005_03.
Real simple script, basically, it groks the IP's out of every
Received: line and runs them through all three RBL's at mail-abuse.org
(easy enough to edit the script to change that) and adds an 'X-RBL:'
header for every match, making filtering down the line easier.
I considered just using a simple bourne shell script with Bruce's
qmail-qfilter and rblcheck, but this seems more elegant. :)
Please post on qmail.org as you see fit.
Thanks.

Besides, the symptom isn't delivery failure, it's slowness. Actually. I was little hasty on the first point. I now see what you're getting at. One question is, how far do you let qmail-remote go before deciding it will work. It it's past the MAIL FROM/RCPT TO part, then why not complete the delivery rather than incur the double load and double latency? If you mean to try and completely do the remote delivery prior to placing it in the queue, then this is the passthru idea that people have suggest previously. It potentially has merit with an amount of added complexity. One problem is that a busy system, such as a mailing list system may be at full concurrencyremote for extended periods of time, in which case, new submissions should not attempt qmail-remote delivery so you're back to square one. Another problem is that the mail has to be stored somewhere while qmail-remote attempts delivery. Well, unless you want the submitting client to wait - that may create a lot of confusing latency for, eg, people sitting on a PC using Eudora. If the mail is stored somewhere, you're starting to get back to a disk queue. But it's not necessarily a silly idea. I believe that sendmail tries to do something like this in certain circumstances. A monolithic design has an advantage in this regard. Doing this is a nice compartmentalized way with the current qmail wouldn't be a lot of fun. Regards.

conf-spawn
Suppose my concurrencylocal and concurrencyremote will never be greater than, say, 50. Is there then any penalty in setting conf-spawn to 100? More to the point, is there any reason not to set conf-spawn to the largest value possible, other than portability? paul
RE: assign file lost
THX, I do recover it. I means that: I build a server support abt 100 virtual domains, with vpopmail of course. last morning, i add another two virtual domains, and somewhat is wrong, unfortunately lost that CDB file, but all users' DIR is there and virtual domain also stand there. rebuild the ASCII file $PATHqmail/users/assign and run $qmailbin/qmail-newu thx Live With qmail thx Mark Delany also Lost? You mean someone deleted them or the disk got trashed, right? yes, i means that rebuild the CDB file The usual thing is to get it off of your backup. Does this not work for you? net yet, but will be done from today's on If you're asking for a magic way to get a file back that has been deleted/trashed and which you have no backup, then you're out of luck. This is not a qmail problem though, this is a system management problem. yep, i am that unfortunately guys Best Regards Michael Moore

concurrency patches
HI I have applied Russ Nelsons Big TO DO Patch and Big concurency patch Is this enough for qmail to handle a large number of simultaneous deliveries or I need to specify it in qmail-control Please explain me as I have just started with Qmail. also i see that Dave Smith of Xoom.com has updated the Big-to-do patch... Is the updated one recommended or the original is good enough. Regards Sumith
