CNAME problem with qmail and djbdns
Hi, I have setup a qmail server with the patched dns.c file (PACKETSZ increased to 65536). Also a local dnscache based on djbdns-1.05 is setup according to the FAQs. Normal lookups are working fine, but qmail together with dnscache running connecting to the localhost as server (127.0.0.1 in resolv.conf) I got the following messages in the qmail/current log for any mail message. 2001-02-22 17:19:07.687368500 status: local 0/10 remote 2/20 2001-02-22 17:19:07.690907500 delivery 3: deferral: CNAME_lookup_failed_temporarily._(#4.4.3)/ 2001-02-22 17:19:07.690914500 status: local 0/10 remote 1/20 2001-02-22 17:19:07.690996500 delivery 4: deferral: CNAME_lookup_failed_temporarily._(#4.4.3)/ 2001-02-22 17:19:07.691000500 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20 With the resolv.conf containing our nameservers there are no problems. Has anybody experienced a similar problem? Is my dnscache setup wrong? Any ideas? Regards, Marcus -- Sent through GMX FreeMail - http://www.gmx.net
Re: warning: trouble opening remote/4/r
Dear Charles Cazabon Your problem could be ident and DNS lookup timeouts from tcpserver. Investigate the possibility of turning off ident lookups, and either disabling DNS lookups or fixing your DNS resolver/content server. Charles Yes! It's really our DNS problem. Several days ago,we have changed DNS server. Today i check the DNS server carefully, I found it can resolve the names in our domain,but it doen't use it's own data,it always say:"Non-authoritative answer: ..". I have configure the Named again. It's ok now. But I have not fix the queue yet, because I don't know how to Shut down the qmail-send. I know it is really a very stupid question. I have seen many documents,some use "svc" command, there isn't "svc" command in our server, also I cann't find qmail-send.pid file in /var/run like some articles said. How could I do? I'm appreaciate for your warmheartedness and patience. flint

Mysterious error message
Hello, This might be a little off topic but it is pretty much about qmail. I have a very mysterious problem. I had setup a qmail server (and a local dnscache running on 127.0.0.1 for faster nslookups) for a customer of mine, and it has been working absolutely fine. He also had some weird crappy ms asp code, vbscript, and something to do with MS SQL and odbc connections. This code basically stores e-mail addresses on the MS SQL server, divided in tables by categories, and at a later time, you could use the asp web interface to send emails to email addresses listed under certain categories. He had it working against his sendmail or Imail box or something. His code just uses the basic RFC compliant commands like HELO, MAIL FROM, RCPT TO, data, etc. He liked the performance and reliability and thus wanted to do more migration. Now he changed his "asp code" or "stuff" (I am not exactly sure what exactly) to relay the mail through this qmail server and not through the sendmail/Imail box as it used to. All the emails to be sent are sent to remote addresses and not local of course. I also made sure I allow relaying for that entire Class C Subnet like 1.2.3.:allow,RELAYCLIENT="" in /etc/tcp.smtp and compiled it with tcprules to tcp.smtp which the mentioned in the tcpserver -x command to start qmail. Now he tests his code, and he keeps getting the following error (on his nt box that is sending the emails to the qmail server to actually deliver them): 550 5.7.1 [EMAIL PROTECTED]... Relaying denied. IP name lookup failed [some.ip.add.ress] At a first glance, I could swear on anything that this looks nothing to me like a qmail error. 1. I am not running tcpserver with -p and -P 2. The error message is not in a recognized message format like for example the unimplemented qmail error message: 502 unimplemented (#5.5.1) First, the error code is mentioned *always* last! Second, the error code is *always* prefixed with a hash mark "#" Third, the error code is enclosed in paranthesis Now, I telnet to the qmail box (from the server that runs his code that connects to the qmail box to send emails) on port 25 and helo my.host.com, mail from:[EMAIL PROTECTED] rcpt to:[EMAIL PROTECTED] data, body, and "." and qmail queues the message with no errors, I get the email at the other end. Hrmm Does this error message look familiar? I also connected to that qmail box from an ip that doesn't resolve and relayed mail through it fine (after putting the ip address in tcp.smtp and compiling it's .cdb) So I really believe that is not a qmail error! What is it then? I'd really appreciate any ideas (Please cc me a copy of your reply) Best Regards, Tamer Hassan

Many of us will have encountered this functionality in similar tools such as Autosys and Control-M - and it is functionality that would be worth having. The neatest feature it has, however, is a very sophisticated dependency relationship, so you can say things like: Run job A on work days Run job B on holidays and weekends Run job C after either job A or job B has completed. (but don't run job C if A or B did not run). plus: - including the ability to restart at any job once a problem has been fixed. - conditional execution depending upon the result of a previous job. - maximum number of simulataneous jobs on a system, or across systems.

"Robin S. Socha" [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
man hier should be a lot older than OpenBSD or whatever. I mean, really.
Unix-88 said that this sort of non-vendor provided stuff should go in
/opt/{vendor}/, but SunOS 4.1.x chose not to do that and few others do
even now. (SunOS 4's HIER(7) suggested /usr/local/ was for "locally
maintained software", and /var/ was "directory of files that tend to
grow or vary in size". The BSD4.4-derived OS's go further and suggest
that /var/ should be solely transient stuff)
Nowadays, I'm tending to build things self contained in
/opt/{product}/ and symlink appropriate things into /usr/local/*/.
For qmail on Solaris, I've been going for:
/opt/qmail/
alias/
bin/
boot/
control/
doc/
log - var/log/qmail
man/
queue - var/queue
sbin/
supervise/
users/
var - /var/qmail
/var/qmail/queue/
/var/log/qmail/
/usr/local/man/*/* - /opt/qmail/man/*/* (to aid use of man)
(as I consider my qmail configurations and binaries non-transient!)
supervise/ is a tricky one though - some bits in there are
configuration and some bits are transient status info. How would
supervise cope if the .../{process}/supervise/ subdirectories were
symlinks into /var/run/supervise/ ?
(control/ should arguably be in /etc/opt/qmail/..., as should alias/.)
Dan's right that it's a mess, for sure.

Perhaps I'm going about this the wrong way, but in the past with sendmail I have always been able to get this information from my logs. ...which is great, except when you don't have the message because you're trying to analyse it passing through your system.

It may be more than you want, but that doesn't make it inadequate. maybe inadequate wasn't the right word, bit it doesn't fit in BSd philosophy. It's totally against the "keep it simple"-approach.

What are the *BSD-approved equivalents for the above commands? svc -d /service/qmail-* and co. In general you are looking up PIDs and send them signals in BSD-world, not calling complex scripts. "Complex scripts"? You think think the LWQ qmail script is complex? Give me a break! It's freakin' trivial. Let's look at simplicity and complexity... Let's compare your way and my way for some simple qmail administration tasks: TaskBSD LWQ start PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin qmail start svscan /service stopsvc -d /service/qmail-* qmail stop svc -d /service/qmail-*/log restart svc -d /service/qmail-* qmail restart svc -d /service/qmail-*/log PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin svscan /service rebuild cdb tcprules /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb \qmail cdb /etc/tcp.smtp.tmp /etc/tcp.smtp check queue qmail-qstat qmail queue qmail-qread hup fire up web browser qmail hup go to http://cr.yp.to find daemontools docs look up svc locate HUP option svc -h /service/qmail-send The last example is facetious, of course, but illustrative of the fact that not everyone wants to memorize all of svc's options. And when you need to act fast, do you really want to have to research what to do first? What if cr.yp.to's down? What if your net link is down? Do you really have a local copy of the daemontools docs? Is it current? [Non-OS specific installation instructions] can't work. The OS concepts are to different. That's pretty sad, but it's a symptom of the gratuitous incompatibilities that DJB rails against. And these are due to 20 different OS packagers each doing things their own way and demanding that developers accomodate their whims. The LWQ qmail script works the same on all platforms. Can't BSD be just a little flexible and allow cross-platform compatibility? -Dave

Newbies Question [slightly offtopic]
Hi,
Im trying to get tcpserver to work with my simple
program written in C. However, Im getting unexpected
results. My programm on execution is supposed to print
a welcome message to stdout, then read text from stdin
, then writes into stdout again. The source code looks
something like this.
...
printf("Welcome! Enter your name\n");
scanf("%s",name);
printf("Hello %s",name);
...
I use tcpserver to execute that program when there is
a connection to localhost on port 123 , like so
tcpserver 127.0.0.1 123 programname
however when i try telneting to 127.0.0.1 123
I dont get any "Welcome message" from my program.
upon telneting the programm is waiting for me to input
something... When I enter somthing , only then do I
get
the "Welcome..." then "Hello ".
--
bash-2.04$ telnet 127.0.0.1 555
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
Escape character is '^]'.
Bob
Welcome! Enter your name:
Hello Bob

It does the input first, and then all the output in
one shot!
Any ideas why that is happening or how to get it to
work???

No. qmail-queue doesn't have the needed privileges. Such a system would also have no good way of dealing with deferrals and partially-failed deliveries (multiple .qmail lines). Greetz, Peter.

How do you start Apache if not "apachectl start"? /usr/sbin/httpd How is having a simple control interface like: [...] against "keep it simple"? What are the *BSD-approved equivalents for the above commands? svc -d /service/qmail-* and co. In general you are looking up PIDs and send them signals in BSD-world, not calling complex scripts. "Complex scripts"? You think think the LWQ qmail script is complex? Give me a break! It's freakin' trivial. The script itself is everything but trivial. One Example why it is bad: you are storing svscans PID (via $!) in /var/run/svscan.pid und use this PID for killing svscan later. What if the admin has killed and started svscan in other ways before "qmail stop"? Given your favorite server prog has this PID when you issue "qmail stop"? You are killing the wrong program. Starting svscan at boottime and never stop it is the much cleaner way and fits well in BSD philosophy. And, btw, works as well on Linux. Let's look at simplicity and complexity... Let's compare your way and my way for some simple qmail administration tasks: TaskBSD LWQ start PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin qmail start svscan /service covered by /etc/rc.local, never done by hand. stopsvc -d /service/qmail-* qmail stop svc -d /service/qmail-*/log restart svc -d /service/qmail-* qmail restart svc -d /service/qmail-*/log PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin svscan /service no. svc -t /service/qmail-* multilog needs no restart usually. your example is worng, you'd have two svscans running if you do so. rebuild cdb tcprules /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb \qmail cdb /etc/tcp.smtp.tmp /etc/tcp.smtp right. check queue qmail-qstat qmail queue qmail-qread hup fire up web browser qmail hup go to http://cr.yp.to find daemontools docs look up svc locate HUP option svc -h /service/qmail-send no. I'm familiar with svc as everbody running anything under svscan should be, so it is simply svc -h /service/qmail-send And you forgot "reschedule queue", svc -a /service/qmail-send qmail alrm (?) [..] Do you really have a local copy of the daemontools docs? Is it current? of course. But i wish Dan would include manpages... [Non-OS specific installation instructions] can't work. The OS concepts are to different. That's pretty sad, but it's a symptom of the gratuitous incompatibilities that DJB rails against. And these are due to 20 different OS packagers each doing things their own way and demanding that developers accomodate their whims. Yes, thats true. The LWQ qmail script works the same on all platforms. Can't BSD be just a little flexible and allow cross-platform compatibility? svscan is the way to cross-platform compatibility. -Dave -- Henning Brauer | BS Web Services Hostmaster BSWS| Roedingsmarkt 14 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | 20459 Hamburg http://www.bsws.de | Germany

limit size of outbound mail?
Hi all, I know that databyte n will limit the size of outbound mail from qmail-smtpd to n bytes, but which file does it go into in /var/qmail/control? On a unrelated note, I use cyclog to rotate my log files, can I add a -size parameter to increase the size of the log file, before it is closed, and a new one is opened? -Bill
Re: Mail hub for relay and outgoing only - no local
David, Thanks for the tip about the locals file. That seems to have done the trick for stopping the local deliveries. I have another problem now during testing. I have configured the new qmail server (qmail.our_lan.com) to respond as though it is our existing mail server (externalmail.com) by making defaultdomain, me, and rcpthosts contain "externalmail.com". The rcpthosts also contains "our_lan.com" so that it will accept mail from the internal servers for relaying. In order to test that the fastforward aliases I have set-up actually work, I am telnetting into the qmail server on port 25 and manually creating a message as described in the TEST.receive file. I can not just send mail from an external account as the real mail server would grab the message. For testing purposes only, I want to tell qmail *not* to query the DNS. I want it to accept that the local machine is externalmail.com, instead of resolving to the real externalmail.com. I have read in the tcpserver man page that it is apparently possible to tell qmail to ignore the DNS and use the parameters provided, but this does not seem to be working for me. My /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run file looks like this: #!/bin/sh QMAILDUID=`/usr/xpg4/bin/id -u qmaild` NOFILESGID=`/usr/xpg4/bin/id -g qmaild` exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 200 \ /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -H -l externalmail.com \ -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb \ -u "$QMAILDUID" -g "$NOFILESGID" \ 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 21 Mail is still getting sent to the existing mail server at externalmail.com. I have tried adding "externalmail.com:[192.168.2.52]" (which is the IP of the qmail server) to smtproutes, but this just causes a loop. I have created ~alias/.qmail-default containing "| /var/qmail/bin/fastforward -d /etc/aliases.cdb" but qmail never seems to get to that point. I have even changed ~control/defaultdelivery to "| /var/qmail/bin/fastforward -d /etc/aliases.cdb" in the hopes that it would help, but it hasn't. I'm sure that I am missing something, but I can not figure out what. I'm sure it will be a "DOH!" when someone points it out to me. Assistance would be appreciated as I am *this* close to finishing, but am stuck on this one detail.

OK, another question...
No one helped me with my original problems, but I think that's because they thought I was a moron... BUT I still have faith... Here's what happens now when I send a message to myself (attached with one of the banned extensions) failure: 192.168.2.26_failed_after_I_sent_the_message./Remote_host_said:_554_mail_ser ver_permanently_rejected_message_(#5.3.0)/ Here's what I have as my 'qmail-queue' in /var/qmail/bin #!/bin/sh exec /var/qmail/bin/qmail-qfilter /var/qmail/bin/deny-filetypes If there's no 'banned' attachment, it goes through okay... and I receive a bounce saying 192.168.2.26 failed after I sent the message. Remote host said: 554 mail server permanently rejected message (#5.3.0) How do I get qmail-filter to add something about having a banned extension... ??? Again, I am using the qmail-qfilter program without using QMAILQUEUE ... Thanks!!!
cyclog line?
Hi All, I'm looking to make my log files /var/qmail/log hold more info before starting a new file with cyclog: I have modified my startup script line to look like this for cyclog: /usr/local/bin/cyclog -s256000 /var/log/qmail (start and end stuff left off to save space) Now according to the man page for cyclog: cyclog [ -ssize ] [ -nnum ] [ -mmargin ] dir where: -ssize (Default: 104000. Minimum: 512.) Maximum file size. After writing this many bytes to one file, cyclog will start a new file. Is there a space needed between the -s or not? I know I have to stop and start qmail for this to take effect as well (right?) -Bill

Re: qmail-conf-054 / multilog
Assuminmg you're running this all via svscan, the problem is that
svscan only notices the +t flag when it first sees the directory in
/service.
You need to remove the service and re-add it. I believe the
daemontools page at cr.yp.to has the sequence needed to do this.

This error msg happens via qmail-inject and telnetting into 25. Removing the symlinks and rename the qmail-*-real files back to qmail-* brings the system back online. Any thoughts??

Inter7 introduces new software: vQregister
vQregister is new web-based signup CGI that more than replaces the old vQsignup program we released early last year. If you're running vQsignup now, or you're considering allowing users to signup for free accounts, it's worth taking a look at. We will be adding a new feature very soon which will be used to collect demographic, or any other information administrators might want during the signup process. This information might include their cleartext password, a challenge password (for retrieving the cleartext password over the phone), and other demographic information such as zip codes, cities, etc. We intend to make this fully configurable, so that whatever information you wish to collect, is easy to setup. Head over to http://www.inter7.com/vqregister to take a look at it. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Inter7 Internet Technologies, Inc. www.inter7.com - 847-492-0470 New prices! http://www.inter7.com/prices.html

Re: Inter7 introduces new software: vQregister
Not everyone has a single box devoted to Apache with PHP modules. In fact, many people run a large amount of time consuming processes. Efficiency is always a factor, when it can be taken into account. Web based products should always be concerned with efficiency.

Missing To:/From: Fields in Virtual Domain Setup.
Good evening! It looks like I'm on the last stretch of setting qmail up as a smart host. I do have one - hopefully last - problem. Here's what works: Standard qmail installation that works with SMTP and POP3. qmail-inject test work fine using TEST.deliver . Telnet localhost/IPADDR 25 and manually entering commands works and the message is delivered into Maildir just fine. I have pullmail running on NT machine to POP3 out of domain acct and shove it into Exchange. That works as well... My problem is, when mail arrives for [EMAIL PROTECTED], it is accepted, but the message itself no longer contains any To: or From: fields. When pullmail pops the mail from qmail server, Exchange bounces it all because there is no To: field! What have I obviously missed?? I've used the LWQ and set up the qmail server using Ch 11 of Running with qmail - Using qmail as an ISP server. Am I supposed to resupply the To: / From: fields using variables in the .qmail-default file?? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

all you need to do to fix the dns problem is change a setting in your dns.c source for qmail change the word "PACKETZ" to "65536" this is according to running Qmail by sams publishing. i have hacked this code a few times with 0 problems on 5 of my servers thanks Jps For several days, I have attempted to download the patch that is at http://www.ckdhr.com/ckd/qmail-103.patch but the server www.ckdhr.com has not been responding at all.

Exchange pullmail must be removing them or they are not included with the email when it was injected into the queue. Try looking at the mail in the Maildir to see if they are present before they get pop'd. In addition, how are the messages being put into the queue? Are you doing it from a script? Are you sending it from a MUA? And no, you shouldn't have to resupply them in a .qmail-default... :-) Andy
Alternate directory for .qmail files
Hello- I was wondering if anybody had a patch to make qmail-local look in an alternate directory for .qmail files before going to $HOME. I know I saw somewhere that somebody had done something like this, but I've been unable to find it again. If all else fails, I will just go ahead and hack away at qmail-local myself, but I was hoping somebody out there could make my job easier. Thank you, Ben

I saw something about doing that on the qmail.org page, however, this is really not the ideal solution for what I'm trying to do. My goal is to make a web based management system for this, and I'd prefer to keep most everything out of the users home directory, for the sake of security and simplicity. Basically, I want to setup another directory that will have a subdirectory for each user on the system, with .qmail files that are written by the administrative interface, and the virtual POP boxes for these users. Similar to what vpopmail does, but in a way that doesn't negate the ability to have mail delivered to good old '/var/mail/$USER' boxes for those who would rather use a shell. Thanks, Ben
