LWQ OpenBSD
Hello, I have been running qmail on Linux (RedHat and Mandrake) for a few months now and I am growing interested in switching to OpenBSD for many obvious reasons. I did try a "ports" install of qmail and watched what was happening, and saved the ports version of what was needed for the user ids since OpenBSD is not mentioned at all in INSTALL.ids (I also asked on this list and got helpful advice - thanks guys) Ok on to my lamer newbie question: Since I do not have a init.d directory in OpenBSD and it seems everything is started from rc.conf and rc.local in OpenBSD how am I to follow LWQ? Has anyone recently switched to OpenBSD that was used to LWQ + Linux before and if so, do you have any helpful hints, reading material or advice at all? Thanks in advance. Rick Up

qmail-qfilter ~ Help...
Okay, I've tried to install qmail-filter and thought I did everything correctly... but it's not filtering out anything...

Regardless of your set-up, the patched version of qmail-smtpd will need two checkpassword arguments. Since you won't be using CRAM-MD5 at all, you can probably forego installing cmd5checkpw and simply give a dummy argument for the second checkpassword requirement. So your script might look like this: ... /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd \ /bin/checkpassword /bin/true dummy /bin/true ... I would recommend that "dummy" be replaced with a program that always returns failure, in case some smart-alec in your domain tries to use a CRAM-MD5 enabled client.

I am not using qmail-scanner, so I'm afraid I have no experience with it. At any rate, using the original version of "Mrs. Brisby"'s qmail-smtpd is not recommended, due to a bug that would allow anybody to relay if the checkpassword program crashed.

newbie question on forwarding email
My server is a UNIX box with BSDI 4.0, Apache, Qmail, and Frontpage. My BSDI and QMail were set up by someone else (no longer with us) and I am pretty much a newbie in this arena A Frontpage client wants to publish a form to be received on my server addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and relayed (forwarded/redirected) to her personal email address which is not on my server. The first hurdle was to add SMTPHost mymailserver.address.com in the frontpage.cnf AND her domainname.cnf file . Now I have been told that I need to add herdomain.org to the QMail list of allowable 'local' domains. Reading on, in LWQ 3.5 it seems I may need to set her up in /var/qmail/alias as well? If so, I would set her up as 'info'? And how do I set it up to redirect to her personal [EMAIL PROTECTED]? Do I also need to do adduser 'info' in the BSDI side of the server? Can anyone point me in the right direction? And, is there anything else I need to configure so this will work? Thanks in advance for your help.

Re: SMTP-AUTH problems
I did have a problem with patching qmail-smtpd (I got a warning about a return type, see earlier e-mail on list) but I'm not sure if that's the problem. /etc/shadow is owned by user/group root. the roots of your (and 90% of other people's problems) are 2 a) either your qmail-smtpd is not able to call checkpassowrd (check perms) b) your checkpassword is unable to authenticate you because of access rights. QUICK TEST: chmod a+rxs /bin/checkpassword If it works now, then it's one of the 2 problems, think about it and find a good solution for your OS. Kris

Applied the BIG Todo patch (this patch has more or less solved my problem 4. change the file split-conf to 151 from default 23 5. Dowloaded qmHandle package to show me the remote and local files in the queue 6. Stoped the tcpserver listening on port 25 7. Allowed the queue to drop to zero 8. did make setup check in the qmail package to recompile the package 9. Started qmail (Also if you are using queue-fix package don't forget to apply queue-fix todo patch also) Whenever the number deliver of remote mails become high, I see the deliver of local mails also suffering. So once in a while I make the concurrency value in concurrencyremote to zero and restart qmail to deliver only the local mails I do not know what your setup is. Mine is on Solaris 2.6 on E3500 with very High I/O bottleneck. But on the same box critical path's mplex was doing local delivery much better than qmail.
