Re: Don't understand qmail-local parameter!!!
hi, man qmail-local NAME qmail-local - deliver or forward a mail message SYNOPSIS qmail-local [ -nN ] user homedir local dash ext domain sender defaultdelivery DESCRIPTION qmail-local reads a mail message and delivers it to user by the procedure described in dot-qmail(5). The message's envelope recipient is local@domain. qmail- local records local@domain in a new Delivered-To header field. If exactly the same Delivered-To: local@domain already appears in the header, qmail-local bounces the message, to prevent mail forwarding loops. The message's envelope sender is sender. qmail-local records sender in a new Return-Path header field. homedir is the user's home directory. It must be an abso- lute directory name. dash and ext identify the .qmaildashext file used by qmail-local; see dot-qmail(5). Normally dash is either empty or a lone hyphen. If it is empty, qmail-local treats a nonexistent .qmailext the same way as an empty .qmailext: namely, following the delivery instructions in defaultdelivery. The standard input for qmail-local must be a seekable file, so that qmail-local can read it more than once. OPTIONS -n Instead of reading and delivering the message, print a description of the delivery instructions. -N (Default.) Read and deliver the message. - from man qmail-local--- Regards Santosh Pasi ---Original Message-- Mailing-List: contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]; run by ezmlm Precedence: bulk Date: Wed, 30 May 2001 14:38:47 +0800 From: george [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Don't understand qmail-local parameter!!!

qmail guru's
Hi all, qmail is now up, fixed, happy. Thanks to Joel Michael, from sage australia for his help. So how did I fix it? well... to be quite honest I gave up trying to fix it, and just reinstalled everything from scratch, because I was getting close to the point of committing computer murder. But, a couple of notes. I'm pretty sure it was caused by a couple of things - permissions of files/directories, and the contents of the qmail-smtpd/send scripts, which tell it how to deliver stuff. The send script runs /var/qmail/rc which in turn,(now) runs: exec env - PATH=/var/qmail/bin:$PATH \ qmail-start `cat /var/qmail/control/defaultdelivery` Whereas before, it was running ??? defaultdelivery contains ./Maildir/ so that mail is sent to the /Maildir/ instead of a mailbox file. The other change of note was making sure that the other startup scripts were pointing at the correct directory for tcp.pop3.cdb etc etc. An example looks like: VPOPMAILUID=`id -u vpopmail` VCHKPWGID=`id -g vpopmail` env - PATH=/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin \ **-- /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -p -x path-to/tcp.pop3.cdb \--*** -u $VPOPMAILUID -g $VCHKPWGID 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup \ your.host.name.here ~vpopmail/bin/vchkpw \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 21 Cheers, Chris _ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

/var partition, queue size, and sendmail
I recently discovered that my /var partition is not going to be large enough to accomodate my queue at certain times, and was hoping for some insight. As a temporary fix, I moved the queue to another partition (/home of all places) and created a symbolic link. I realize that there are some security concerns with this solution, so I am seeking advice. Is there a (reasonably) safe utility to resize my partitions without starting over (which is not really an option)? Is there another acceptable place to store the queue? And if so, is a symbolic link acceptable, or should I recompile to reflect the new queue location? Are there performance concerns here?

This has become such a FAQ that I'm reposting the detailed instructions: First, ask your Internet Provider to mail you an Unsubscribing Kit. Then follow these directions. The kit will most likely be the standard no-fault type. Depending on requirements, System A and/or System B can be used. When operating System A, depress lever and a plastic dalkron unsubscriber will be dispensed through the slot immediately underneath. When you have fastened the adhesive lip, attach connection marked by the large X outlet hose. Twist the silver- coloured ring one inch below the connection point until you feel it lock. The kit is now ready for use. The Cin-Eliminator is activated by the small switch on the lip. When securing, twist the ring back to its initial condition, so that the two orange lines meet. Disconnect. Place the dalkron unsubscriber in the vacuum receptacle to the rear. Activate by pressing the blue button. The controls for System B are located on the opposite side. The red release switch places the Cin-Eliminator into position; it can be adjusted manually up or down by pressing the blue manual release button. The opening is self- adjusting. To secure after use, press the green button, which simultaneously activates the evaporator and returns the Cin-Eliminator to its storage position. You may log off if the green exit light is on over the evaporator . If the red light is illuminated, one of the Cin-Eliminator requirements has not been properly implemented. Press the List Guy call button on the right of the evaporator . He will secure all facilities from his control panel. To use the Auto-Unsub, first undress and place all your clothes in the clothes rack. Put on the velcro slippers located in the cabinet immediately below. Enter the shower, taking the entire kit with you. On the control panel to your upper right upon entering you will see a Shower seal button. Press to activate. A green light will then be illuminated immediately below. On the intensity knob, select the desired setting. Now depress the Auto-Unsub activation lever. Bathe normally. The Auto-Unsub will automatically go off after three minutes unless you activate the Manual off override switch by flipping it up. When you are ready to leave, press the blue Shower seal release button. The door will open and you may leave. Please remove the velcro slippers and place them in their container. If you prefer the ultrasonic log-off mode, press the indicated blue button. When the twin panels open, pull forward by rings A B. The knob to the left, just below the blue light, has three settings, low, medium or high. For normal use, the medium setting is suggested. After these settings have been made, you can activate the device by switching to the ON position the clearly marked red switch. If during the unsubscribing operation, you wish to change the settings, place the manual off override switch in the OFF position. You may now make the change and repeat the cycle. When the green exit light goes on, you may log off and have lunch.

Re: /var partition, queue size, and sendmail
joshua, you're probably not going to like my answer (since it is one of those 'do lots of work now for less work later' options), but we use logical volume managers on most of the production systems around here. you didn't say what operating system you're using but AIX, HPUX, Solaris and now even linux (with the Linux LVM project at sistina.com and now the EVMS port of AIX's excellent LVM to linux as well at sourceforge.net/projects/evms). all of these solutions allow a properly-prepared filesystem (in linux ext2 and reiser can both apply) to be resized as the underlying logical volume is increased in size. once you go down this route, you'll never want to go back to static, bios-based partitions. anyway, this doesn't solve your problem in the short run, but it would have solved your problem if you'd gone this direction several months ago (ach, the irony!). todd underwood vice president chief technology officer oso grande technologies, inc.

SMTP doesn't respond
Title: SMTP doesn't respond Hi, I've read up a little on this, but couldn't search the archives (maybe the server is down?) for any more information. Anyway, from my understanding, if the qmail server can't resolve it's DNS entry, it will have problems with SMTP, and I believe that to be the problem. However, I haven't been able to find a resolution for my situation. Here's how things are configured in my environment: The server is using a private ip address (192.168.x.x) behind a load balancer. The load balancer runs NAT so the server can send data out. The load balancer also contains a routable ip address, for which, all traffic passes back to the private ip. There is a DNS entry for the routable ip, but not for the private ip. The qmail server is setup with the same name as the DNS entry for the routable ip. As qmail runs on DNS entries, I would assume this would make everything ok. It doesn't. When I telnet to the localhost on port 25, I get a connection and it just sits there. No response, ever. Below is the output of qmail-showctl just to make sure I haven't done anything wrong.

What would help would be a copy of the script you're using to start qmail-smtpd. tcpserver may be trying a reverse lookup on your IP address and timing out, as well as some other DNS lookups which happen. They can all be fixed with changes to your qmail-smtpd script. Also, are any error messages ending up in the qmail-smtpd log? Does outgoing mail work? Are there errors in the main qmail log? I've tried to telnet to the SMTP port myself (thanks for using real DNS information and not obscuring it), and you seem to be correct -- I've got a connection, but not the welcome banner, even after several minutes. If it's a problem with your qmail-smtpd script, there should be errors in the log from the tcpserver instance for it. Another possibility, I suppose, is that the load balancer is somehow broken in regards to SMTP?

I have downloaded the SRPMS of ucspi-tcp, ucspi-unix, daemontools, supervise-scripts, qmail+patches from http://untroubled.org, vmailmgr from www.vmailmgr.org and courier-imap from http://inter7.com/courierimap. I'm usinng Red Hat 6.2 with a minimal server install, (uninstalled postgres, sendmail, yp-bind, ..) and upgraded the kernel to 2.2.19-6.2.1, rpm-4.02, etc.. I can compile the packages and installed (in this order) ucspi-tcp, ucspi-unix, daemontools, supervise-scripts, qmail+patches vmailmagr, vmailmgr-server and vmailmgrd-server-tcp, my problem is that I can't figure whow to make the servers start and keep runing, after the RPMs installed I configured /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts and /var/qmail/control/virtualhosts to include my domains and created the base users for vmailmgr, run as the user vsetup and vadduser, created the /var/qmail/control/checkpassword containing the line 'checkvpw' only and as said by /usr/doc/qmail/README.service do 'svc-add /var/qmail/service/pop3d, svc-add /var/qmail/service/qmqpd, svc-add /var/qmail/service/qmtpd and svc-add /var/qmail/service/smtpd' and after that I do a 'svc-start qmail, svc-start pop3d, svc-start qmqpd, svc-start qmtpd, svc-start smtpd, svc-start vmailmgrd, svc-start vmailmgrd-tcp' but I cant conect from a test client.

I haven't gotten a handle on qmail logging yet. Where are the log files stored? I look at /var/log/qmail and the files that are there contain these lines:
from /var/log/qmail/current
@40003b1518da292b19c4 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20
from /var/log/qmail/smtpd/current
@40003b1518da3494b75c tcpserver: status: 0/0
I don't think there is a load balancer problem with SMTP, as there is another mail server running sendmail right beside this one. It's just that it was setup by somebody else, who no longer works here, and I'm much more a fan of qmail than I am of sendmail, so we're moving forward with qmail installs now.
If I can provide any further information to you, please let me know.
Thanks,
Mark

The server is using a private ip address (192.168.x.x) behind a load
balancer. The load balancer runs NAT so the server can send data out. The
load balancer also contains a routable ip address, for which, all traffic
passes back to the private ip. There is a DNS entry for the routable ip, but
not for the private ip.
This could be part of the problem.
The qmail server is setup with the same name as the
DNS entry for the routable ip. As qmail runs on DNS entries, I would assume
this would make everything ok. It doesn't. When I telnet to the localhost on
port 25, I get a connection and it just sits there. No response, ever.
Ever? Or not in the first 60 seconds? Or what?
Below is the output of qmail-showctl just to make sure I haven't done
anything wrong. Any suggestions?
This looks good (thanks for including it). What would help would be a copy of
the script you're using to start qmail-smtpd. tcpserver may be trying a
reverse lookup on your IP address and timing out, as well as some other DNS
lookups which happen. They can all be fixed with changes to your qmail-smtpd
script.
Also, are any error messages ending up in the qmail-smtpd log? Does outgoing
mail work? Are there errors in the main qmail log?
I've tried to telnet to the SMTP port myself (thanks for using real DNS
information and not obscuring it), and you seem to be correct -- I've got a
connection, but not the welcome banner, even after several minutes. If it's a
problem with your qmail-smtpd script, there should be errors in the log from
the tcpserver instance for it. Another possibility, I suppose, is that the
load balancer is somehow broken in regards to SMTP?

Vpopmail+qmail pop3 has lost it's mind!
Hello again. Another question! I've got a high availibilty cluster running qmail and vpopmail. Three computers mount /home from an nfs server. In the home directory is the vpopmail directory (all vpop apps and config's are in this dir). I have made /var/qmail/control and /var/qmail/users match on all nodes. When you pop from the nfs server, the users have mail. But if you hit one of the nodes, it authenticates fine, but says there's not mail. Anyone know how I broke this and how I can fix it? Here's what I do to test this-- This is on the NFS server Lists the mail fine... [root@mail(nfs1) /root]# telnet localhost 110 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to mail... Escape character is '^]'. +OK 4864.991244767@mail user me +OK pass test +OK list +OK 1 212 . This is on any of the nodes ... Where's my mail?!?! [root@mail(node1) /root]# telnet localhost 110 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.localdomain. Escape character is '^]'. +OK 735.991234046@mail user me +OK pass test +OK list +OK .

Re: forwarding msgs analyzing subject text
Russ' solution would certainly work, but this is exactly the sort of thing that procmail is intended for. A procmailrc to do this would look like this: :0 c * Subject:.*xxx ! user2 user3 user4 :0 c * Subject:.*yyy ! user5 user6 user7 (Recent versions of procmail play better with qmail, in particular they can deliver directly to both mboxes and maildirs.)

FAQ type question (SMTP not answer long time), but from another side.
I sometimes use to connect to internet my GSM network operator's gateway an then I connect to my internal company network. All my connections is very good, but I have problem with my qmail SMTP server: often I must wait becouse connection is made but server not answer (not sent HELO info) long time (to a few minuts). From internal company network all work very fast. I see answer for similar problem: SMTP answer very slow becouse you havn't correct configured DNS server. I test this. Yes I have (this is operator's gateway address - not this same every times) IP address without configured DSN name. Standard answer: make correct configuration on your DSN server. But this is problem I connect form another (GSM operator) network. I have question from another side: 1. What I may change on my qmail SMTP server or another server configuration to accelerate my server answer ? 2. Normal reversal DNS answer is very fast (a few seconds) - name is unknown (using nslookup). qmail make another type of questions ? 3. With part (commands) of smtp server wait. May I change this in source code. Robert Skup e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

mail queue getting bigger
After much playing around with qmail files, I believe I have gotten part of qmail working. I say part, because I have no trouble _sending_ mail, but in delivering it, either to users on the same machine or to diffrent hosts. Pine is using the /usr/sbin/sendmail wrapper provided by qmail to send mail. However, when I try to check the mail that was sent, it has not been delivered. I use bin/qmail-qstat to look a the queue, and it is growing bigger and bigger: ---results of bin/qmail-qstat--- messages in queue: 138 messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 138 --- I ran ps -auxw | grep qmail to determine what qmail services I had running.

tcpserver: Return 553 instead of 451?
I'm using tcpserver with qmail and a local blacklist in the form of tcp.smtp and tcp.smtp.cdb. In order to provide local logging, and a brief description to a rejected source of why their connection attempt was rejected, a typical line from my tcp.smtp file may look something like this: 63.102.43.25:allow,RBLSMTPD=Access denied due to spamming. This type of code returns an SMTP 451 error to the originator, and then drops the connection. Since a 451 means 'deferred' or something similar in SMTP-speak, the originating server continues to try to connect several more times before it finally gives up. My question: Is there any way to make tcpserver return a 553 error instead of a 451? I've dug around in the source code files, but I don't speak enough C to be able to find and change what I want.
