Since usa.net has, from all accounts, a completely insane policy of blocking mail servers, I cannot respond directly, so I'll send the response here. It might be of general interest anyways. Pretty much the whole trick is to go into qmail-send.c, around line 708 (search for "Hi"), and just change the message that is output. As with any source change, you'll want to test it first, and make sure the message is reasonably formatted, has all important information, and the proper headers and envelope. -ScottG.

Re: Secure IMAP server
Thus spake Andy Bradford ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): While courier-imap isn't coded in the same style that DJB uses, I do believe that it has been built with security in mind. That is not sufficient. Windows is also built with security in mind, according to Microsoft. I have not done a code audit of Courier. That said, I use the imapd myself. While I would not trust it as much as an imapd from djb, it seems to be the best alternative. Please note that IMAP is a large and complicated protocol.

How can I delete a lot of spam mail from the qmail queue?
May 9th, 2000 06:35
Howard Jones, Nathan Wallace
Magnus Bodin
Take a look at qmhandle:
http://www.io.com/~mick/soft/qmhandle.html
Don't forget to stop qmail before you mess around in the queue.
An alternative that I've used successfully is to
1) Stop qmail, qmail-smtpd and anything else that might try to deliver
messages - leave qmail-pop3d, then at least users can get their
existing mail.
2) Delete the offending messages from the /var/qmail/queue/mess
directories with something like:
find /var/qmail/queue/mess -type f -exec grep "^Subject: Want a
University Diploma" {} \; -print -exec rm {} \;
3) run queue-fix to clean up the appropriate related files in todo,
intd etc.
4) restart qmail.
qmhandle requires individual message numbers to delete messages. When
you have 100,000 messages, this is impractical! queue-fix is written by
Eric Huss, and is available at
http://www.netmeridian.com/e-huss/queue-fix.tar.gz
It's also worth knowing that the find command will still potentially
take hours to delete all that junk - be prepared for some phonecalls!

Relay and mail lists.
Estimated gurus. First of all, excuses owing to my bad level english !!!. I have two machines, one NT and another one with Red Hat 6.2 and Qmail. IP address NT is 192.168.1.3 and IP address Linux is 192.168.1.10. 192.168.1.10 -Linux- sends mail with no problem using qmail. 192.168.1.3 -NT sends mail using 192.168.1.3 like SMTP server. From 192.168.1.3 -NT- I can use "telnet 192.168.1.10 25" and send mail with no problem. Even from 192.168.1.3 -NT- and Outlook Express I can use SMTP 192.168.1.10 -Linux-. From any other IP I can't send mail because I only allow send mail to "127.0.0.1" and "192.168.1.3". Suddenly, the problemm is that I can't send a mail users lists from 192.168.1.3 -NT- using like SMTP server 192.168.1.3, indeed The program I use worked on with sendmail but no with qmail. This program is complied is C++ using SMTP.h library and when I execute SMTP.Connect from NT is there an error !!! The "From: " mails is [EMAIL PROTECTED] and in /var/qmail/control directory, "defaultdomain" file has "examples.com", "locals" file has "machine.examples.com", "me" file has "machine.examples.com","plusdomain" file has "examples.com", "rcpthosts" file has "examples.com", "/etc/tcp.smtp" has "127.:allow,RELAYCLIENT="" 192.168.1.3:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""" Is there any file that I have forgotten ???

Qmail with 'tcpserver'
I thought I had this running once before on a since-overwritten test system, but in redoing things, I am having problems. I want to implement the ucspi-tcp package (with tcpserver) so that I can also implement the RBL (which requires ucspi-tcp). My setup is almost straight from the "running Qmail" book. The trailing ":allow" in my cdb file is from an example given to me by someone who said it was necessary in order to receive outside email. Anyway, download, compile, install - all very quick and easy. I have a single line in the boot script (within the qmail start script) that looks like this: /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -p -x /etc/tcpserver/tcp.smtp.cdb -u 301 -g 300 \ 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 301 is the qmaild uid and 300 is the nofiles gid. The cdb file was created from what follows: 127.0.0.1:allow,RELAYCLIENT=" " .rope.net:allow,RELAYCLIENT=" " 206.75.255.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=" " 10.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=" " :allow My domain is "rope.net" and my class C is 206.75.255.0/24. I am also using some "class C" subnets from the 10. private address space that connect via VPN. I have a local host that periodically sends logging files to my mail server at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and works correctly when I am set up with inetd for smtp. However, when I try the same thing when set up for tcpserver with qmail, the mail.log file has an entry similar to this: starting delivery 1: msg 64822 to remote [EMAIL PROTECTED] delivery 1: failure: Sorry,_I_couldn't_find_any_host_named_rope.net?._(#5.1.2)/ Evidently, qmail now thinks that the address domain has a trailing "_" (or is that a space?), which is replaced as a "?" in the second line. Any ideas as to what is happening?

QMail permission error
Aright, Im getting a permission error when I try starting Qmail. I dont know why though, followed INSTALL fine, and as a test I chmoded the whole qmail directory to 777 and still no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Error message: [root@www bin]# csh -cf '/www/qmail/bin ' [1] 3320 /www/qmail/bin: Permission denied. [1] Exit 1 /www/qmail/bin

Re: Moving qmail servers
What I did when I changed mail servers was this: 1. deny incoming connections to old-server from my LAN (to stop my users from sending mails) 2. allow qmail to process the queue (is there a way to force qmail to process the queue instead of waiting for it to finish?) 3. tar the users' Maildirs 4. move the tarball to new-server and untar 5. unplug cable to old-server and plug it into new-server That's it. Note that old-server and new-server have the same IP so I didn't have to do any DNS changes (make sure you unplug the old one first before plugging in the new one or there'd be an IP conflict). So far we haven't noticed any problems but I may have just been lucky. Do the filenames in the Maildirs also correspond to inode numbers? If so then I guess I really am just lucky :) My "technique" gave us a downtime of 1 hour but this was mostly taken up by waiting for the queue to be processed by qmail, otherwise it would just have been at most 10 minutes.

Who owns these Maildirs? Thanks for the quick response. All I did was add 7 new users to a system that already had 10 users setup and working correctly. (Setup by somebody else, by the way) For a windows based guy, qmail is a little difficult to figure out. I simply copied and renamed one of the existing users Maildir folders. Then I copied and renamed one of the existing Alias folders and edited the home directory name for each new user. I've checked the permissions and owernship on the Maildir folder and sub-folders and they are identical to the users who are working correctly. I even traced the source of the error down in the qmail-local source code, but not being a C programmer wasn't able to find the source of the subroutine that causes case 2 to occur. I've made the assumption that the error (chdir) refers to qmail's inability to change (to the users) directory but I can't find any difference between the working users directories from the ones I set up. Does this help ...?

(Setup by somebody else, by the way) For a windows based guy, qmail is a little difficult to figure out. I simply copied and renamed one of the existing users Maildir folders. Copying it might result in wrong ownership of the Maildir and it's subdirectories. The command `maildirmake` will create a Maildir with its three subdirectories (tmp, new, and cur). They all have to be owned by the user to work. And what do you mean by renamed? In its simplest form, a Maildir is just named "Maildir" and is located in the user's home directory. Your default delivery instruction is then "./Maildir/". You shouldn't need to rename the Maildir. Then I copied and renamed one of the existing Alias folders and edited the home directory name for each new user. Again, not sure what you mean by an alias folder. Do you mean a .qmail-something file in the home directory of user "alias"? These aren't necessary for local users. I've checked the permissions and owernship on the Maildir folder and sub-folders and they are identical to the users who are working correctly. Well, there's obviously something different going on here. For starters, how about showing us the result of `ls -ld ~USER ~USER/Maildir ~USER/Maildir/*` for both a user that works, and one that doesn't? Also, post the output of `qmail-showctl`. And don't change any of the host/usernames for the sake of "security". We need the real information to find the problem.

pop domain issue
I've setting a pop domain using fastforward in virtualdomain file as below: abc.com: alias in /etc/aliases @abc.com: userabc then in the client site I use ftgate smartpop features to retrieve all the mails for @abc.com from the server, but found that when a mail contains several email addresses for same domain @abc.com, eg: To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] , [EMAIL PROTECTED] then in the server mailbox for userabc, it will 3 times of the same email, when ftgate receive the email, it will generate again 3 times of the email to 3 person for each same email in the server, therefor there will be 3 x 3 times emails in ftgate and each user will receive 3 time of the same email.. any suggestiongs? ckh :)
