Re: warning: trouble opening remote/4/r

2001-02-26 Thread flint

Dear Alex Pennace

In that case, send SIGTERM to the qmail-send process.

I have tried to do so. But can you tell me where I can find PID of qmail-send process?

You can get a copy of openssl from openssl.org. You need to install this
serverside.You will find that it is a fairly painless install. There are
several IMAP servers out there. Inter7 has links to Courier I think and
there are links on the qmail page.

I'm writing a patch for qmail, and have some problems...

I've tried to do some debugging (using gdb), but though i compile with "-g"

(gdb) file qmail-remote
Reading symbols from qmail-remote...(no debugging symbols found)...done.

Do you know why is that happening to me? ;)

qmail-qfilter question

2001-02-26 Thread Andy Meuse

So, I have qmail-qfilter running using the deny-filetypes script included
in the package. I set it up as per the README, in the smtp rules files.

   A.B.C.D:allow,RELAYCLIENT="",QMAILQUEUE="/usr/local/bin/(script that
calls deny-filetypes"

The problem is that it denies files from being sent BY my users, but it
doesn't deny incoming files from the world TO my users. The relaying rules
aren't being invoked I suppose.

Any ideas on how I can use qmail-qfilter to screen incoming attachments
another way, or how to change my relaying setup to grab them?

Thanks,
Andy

RPM problem w/ Linux 7

2001-02-26 Thread Bill Arends

I am trying to install qmail on a fresh RH 7 system.  I have followed (I
think) the instructions at qmail.org (INSTRUCTIONS.var-qmail) but I can't
get past "rpm --rebuild qmail-1.03-102memphis.src.rpm".  It implies a syntax
error because all I get is the rpm help dialog.

I have check the requirements according to the instructions:

1. installed libraries:
 ld-linux.so.2
  libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.0)
 libresolv.so.2(GLIBC_2.0)

2. installed make

3. downloaded and untarred "var-qmail-1.03-2-gnu-linux-i686.tar.gz" to a
temporary directory

I have a somewhat limited background so there is something obvious I'm not
seeing.  Can anyone help me or direct me to a set of more complete
directions.

Thanks in advance for any help,


Bill




Re: CNAME problem with qmail and djbdns

2001-02-26 Thread Marcus Korte

Hi,

I have setup a qmail server with the patched dns.c file (PACKETSZ
increased
to 65536).

You shouldn't do that if you're using dnscache.

I have tested the dnscache now with and without the patched dns.c in
qmail-1.03.
It doesn't matter. The same result: CNAME_lookup...

 
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)/

For what domain? Were you able to look up that domain via dnscache on
the same system at the same time?

The mail should be sent to a @gmx.net account. nslookup querying the local
cache worked for www.gmx.net and also the dnsmx-lookup for this domain.
It seems that there are no problems with the queries itself, but with qmail
doing the queries.

Any ideas?
What should I check?


Best regards,
Marcus

amavis or qmail-scanner ?

Hi,

I was using Red Hat 6.2, and qmail as Mta.
My goal is to take virus aware from my mail server, so, what's the 
best choice ?

1) as virus-scanner ? amavis or qmail-scanner ? both seem to work 
fine...

2) as antivirus ? H+BEDV AntiVir, AVP, Sophos Sweep,or McAfee 
ViruScan ? I used avp for a while (and I find it very efficient), but 
doesn't know the other ones...

thanks in advance...

How about using the envelope sender (ie. return-path)?

I missed the original message, so maybe this isn't really applicable,
but in general you should take mailing lists into account.  On most
mailing lists, including this one, the right return address is not
found in any of those headers.

Of course, one should try to avoid sending auto-replies to list emails
at all, but chances are you'll never be able to detect with 100%
accuracy all list emails, so should count on it happening sometime.

qmail+system accounts+virt. dom. POPs

2001-02-26 Thread Ben Schumacher

Let me just get straight to what I'm trying to do and see if somebody can
help me figure out how to do it.  I'm setuping up a server to do virtual
domain and email hosting for customers.  I'm assuming that 90% of the
customers using my system will want to do just POP3 email for their
domains, however, I want to make it possible for the other 10% to use a
shell account to access their email.  Rather than make this a necessarily
either or situation, I want to make it so that if they have POP3 email
accounts, their mail will be default be delivered to those, but everything
else will go into their standard system account.

Because I want to make this system compatible with Pine, elm, etc, I would
prefer to use the old mailbox format for the system accounts, but use
Maildir, or MAilbox, for the POP3 accounts.  So here's what I need.  I
want to find a way to using a simple POP3 daemon, that can handle both
Mailbox and Maildir formats, and will look to a customers system
(/var/mail) box if their username in the POP3 protocol is just a username,
or in their virtual POP3 box if their username is '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'.

I realize this is probably a horribly complicated system, but I think it
would help my service appeal to both the power (shell  POP3 --
like me) user, and more standard (POP3-only) users.

Any ideas on how to set this up would be greatly appreciated.

Can Qmail send out 2 million mails in 12 hour window?

2001-02-26 Thread Brandon Yu



I have been given 
the task to send out 2 million emails in a 12 hour time window. All the emails 
will be sent remotely, to a list of users of which is 90% accurate (I figure 10% 
of the emails will bounceback because of bad email addresses) I have all the 
bandwidth I need (servers are located in co-location) and will be sorting the 
email list by domain name.

My initial idea is 
to have 2 dedicated qmail servers, ( Redhat Linux 6.2, Pentium 600, 500Megs RAM, 
IDE drives) configured with a concurrency limit of 400. Other than that, the 
qmail install will be out of the box.

Can I reasonably 
meet this rate ? Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks in 
advance

 Of course, one should try to avoid sending auto-replies to list emails

 accuracy all list emails, so should count on it happening sometime.

My first rule would be never ever send one if you're not in the To
(and possibly Cc - but that's debtable) headers.

That's a method that doesn't have 100% coverage, as some of the
daily-mailings from less-wise operations like Flonetwork (who send the
techweb.com daily mailing) tend to have your address in the To: header
(and they don't put any Precedence headers, or anything that might
give you a clue).

But it's a good start.

Is, perhaps, your queue disk full?

A higher concurrency *may* be beneficial. It's not gonna hurt, anyway.

I'm assuming you are using ezmlm or something similar for this.
Anything else would be suicide.

May be a number of things. How much space do you have left in your /var
partition (if that is where qmail is installed)? I would check there first,
then look into any possible permissions issues.

It largely depends on the actual number of bounces and where the remote
machines are (if you're sending to a lot of international addresses,
for example).  2 million recipients in 12 hours means that (based on
my experience) you'll be running at peak capacity of two high-end
machines.  If you *HAVE* to hit the 12-hour window, I'd recommend
you look at a third machine or possibly thinking about ways to take
advantage of some tricks to get a bit better performance.

relay-ctrl and qmail

2001-02-26 Thread Bill Isaacs

After installing this package, I found that I could not login to check my 
email (ERR: authorization failed).  I had to uncomment the pop-3 and smtp 
lines in inetd.conf to be able to connect to the server at all (these had 
been commented out during by the installation routine).

I am trying to use this package so that I can relay from my home workstation 
in California with a dynamic IP address.

Any advice?

Thanks,

The user has no $HOME/Maildir/.  Seriously -- the error message tells you
exactly what's wrong.  However, it does make the following assumptions:

-you know what a Maildir is
-since you've chosen to use qmail-pop3d, which only supports Maildirs,
  it assumes you've properly created Maildirs for your users

So, did you create a Maildir for the user?  Is it located in their home
directory, and named "Maildir"?  Does the user own their home directory and
the Maildir?

relay-ctrl relies on tcpserver.  You can't run it out of inetd.  Change your
pop3 configuration to use tcpserver as documented.

Send your mail through your ISP's smarthost -- that's what they're for.
relay-ctrl is not needed for most situations, and this appears to be one
of them.

Time::HiRes for Qmail-Scanner on RH7 ?

2001-02-26 Thread dennis

Hi all...

Has anyone installed "Time::HiRes" for Qmail-Scanner
(http://qmail-scanner.sourceforge.net/) on Redhat7.0 ? I'm finding that if I
try and install the modual as an rpm it wants an older version of perl. If
manually install "Time::HiRes" the ./configure can't find the modual

Any suggestions ?

mailserver buffering

2001-02-26 Thread Chrisanthy Carlane

Hi everyone,

I'm administering a service provider mail server. Some companies that are
using our company Internet service also asks about mail buffering for their
own mail server, so :
1. in case their mail server is down, all their emails go to my mail server.
2. every email that goes to their address go first to my mail server and
they periodically download it.

What I want to ask is: HOW to create that buffering thing ? Do I have to add
every user for every domain(which will be a lot of user)?
I'm using Qmail with Vpopmail.

Thanks!

Chrisanthy

If you have installed the QMAILQUEUE patch that qmail-scanner
requires, and followed all its installation instructions, then just
add the line to the following file before tcpserver is called:

QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl" export QMAILQUEUE

What's fastforward do?
I've read its documentation but still don't understand. :)
It says that it handles qmail forwarding, and can create forwarding database
based on virtual-domain tables.

Does it also handle the buffering for virtual-domain? no need to add user?

Thanks!

Re: mailserver buffering

Thus said "Chrisanthy Carlane" on Tue, 27 Feb 2001 13:44:14 +0700:

  They must produce an appropriate MX record in their DNS information
  which points to your mail server.
 OK, and when their emails go to my server, where do they go(what directory,
 do I have to make a directory for their domain?
 and what about the users?

Not necessary.  They will be queued up in qmail's mail queue until they 
can be delivered to their mail server (or until the message has been in your 
queue too long and the message bounces).  Simple really.
