disclaimer at end of outgoing msg
Hi, i wanna append a disclaimer on every outgoing msg that contains @mydomain.com. I looked at qmail-qfilter, but I cannot get the thing to work. I patched a clean qmail src, added the indicated envvar and wrote a perl script for outgoing mail to pass through. Anyone got this thing to work for a disclaimer? Any other possibilities? Thnx in advance. Grtz, Arjen.

locals question
Hi all, we have here a central mailhub, mail.mm-packaging.com. This host treats mail to mm-packaging.com and mail.mm-.. as local. Now I also listed it as preferred MX for two domains that are www-only, but since postmaster@ must work, I put these domains into locals, as well. Now postmaster mails for these domains also get to me. My question: how do I prevent delivery to all other recipients for which a .qmail file exists? example: I want the machine to accept mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] but not for [EMAIL PROTECTED] (one www domain) regards Wolfgang Rupp Network Administrator Mayr-Melnhof Packaging GmbH Floragasse 7/6 A-1040 Wien Tel: +43-1-50257-238 Fax: +43-1-50257-260

Of course, give qmail-send a -HUP after finishing... Grtz, Arjen.

Outlook Express and qmail
We have been having trouble getting qmail to communicate with certain Outlook Express customers. This is probably a problem with Outlook, but I thought maybe some of you might have had experience with this. The problem occurs when customers try to send mail out through are qmail server. If the message is a small message (less than about 5 lines), the mail goes through fine. However, if the message is any larger, the mail times out. I have had users keep Outlook logs of the SMTP traffic, and they show that the last thing being sent is by the following by the server 354 go ahead. If anyone out there has had any similar problem, or could give us some ideas of things we might want to check, it would be greatly appreciated, because it is driving all of us here crazy tring to figure it out.

Question about supervise and tcpserver behaviour
Hi, My server has strange behaviour and I don't know if this is by design or if there is something wrong. It has around 60.000 pop accounts, load average is around 12-13, but response time is around 2 seconds. I run Linux, lastest Redhat kernel 2.2.19-6.2.1 and Bruce's rpm + daemontools + supervise-scripts-3.3. I'm monitoring the behaviour of tcpserver for the pop service ( simple 'ps - aux | grep tcpserver | grep pop' and I get, obviously, just one is running ). Sometimes, supervise tries to restart tcpserver and I see 2 tcpservers. Then the second dies ( port is already bind ). During this time, pop fails. Looking at the log for the pop service, I can tell that there is no specific moment that it happens. Tcpserver didn't run out of connections ( I have up to 150 concurrent ), sometimes it did with 20 connections, sometimes with 90 concurrents. Is this an expected behauvior ? Is there a way to tune up supervise ? ( time-out, any other parameters ? ) Thanks in advance Renato - Brazil

The problems discussed in the advisory are not currently known to be exploitable but we recommend upgrading to 8.11.4 in case a method is found to exploit the signal handling race condition. 8.11.4 also fixes other bugs found since the release of 8.11.3. 8.12.0.Beta10 includes the changes in signal handling from 8.11.4. Moreover, there is a significant change compared to earlier beta versions: by default sendmail is installed as a set-group-id binary; a set-user-id root binary will be only installed if the proper target is selected (see sendmail/SECURITY).

Affected Systems: Any systems running sendmail (tested on sendmail 8.11.0, 8.12.0-Beta5) Details: Sendmail signal handlers used for dealing with specific signals (SIGINT, SIGTERM, etc) are vulnerable to numerous race conditions, including handler re-entry, interrupting non-reentrant libc functions and entering them again from the handler (see References for more details on this family of vulnerabilities). This set of vulnerabilities exist because of unsafe library function calls from signal handlers (malloc, free, syslog, operations on global buffers, etc). ...

You misunderstand the tcpserver options. Karsten has supplied the correct answer above. When an address is supplied in place of the '0' option to tcpserver, that is the address that the child process binds to. You have no control whatsoever as to which IP is used to send outbound mail*. Simply run two qmail-smtpd's, one each bound to the two IPs in question. I think that to get what you seem to want, you may have to run a second copy of qmail -- if you simply run two different qmail-smtpds, both will use the same control files. Depends on why you want separate instances of qmail-smtpd. Examples: Where mail1.example.com is IP 192.168.0.1 and mail2.example.com is 172.16.0.1, with appropriate MX records: run file for mail1.example.com: #!/bin/sh QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaild` NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild` MAXSMTPD=`/bin/cat /var/qmail/control/concurrencyincoming` exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 200 /usr/local/bin/tcpserver \ -vPHR -c $MAXSMTPD -x /var/qmail/cdb/smtp.cdb \ -u $QMAILDUID -g $NOFILESGID 192.168.0.1 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 21 run file for mail2.example.com: #!/bin/sh QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaild` NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild` MAXSMTPD=`/bin/cat /var/qmail/control/concurrencyincoming` exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 200 /usr/local/bin/tcpserver \ -vPHR -c $MAXSMTPD -x /var/qmail/cdb/smtp.cdb \ -u $QMAILDUID -g $NOFILESGID 172.16.0.1 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 21 Note that your run file differs from mine, I simply mangled my own rather than hand-type one...

does it get echoed to the sending server. Did I miss something? Any way
to log it short of using syslog calls?

host masquerading / qmail-remote problems
I've scanned through the archives and FAQ and I *think* I have qmail set up properly, however masquerading isn't working for me. I have my FQDN in control/me, and then just the domain name in control/defaulthost and control/defaultdomain. After reading the man page for qmail-remote (where I believe my problem lies) I also added just the domain name to the control/helohost file. Mail sent remotely arrives from phil@FQDN which is not what I want. I believe my problem lies w/ qmail-remote because mail delivered locally does not experience this problem. Mail delivered locally appears to be from phil@domainname, as intended. I've looked at queue/mess/10/* (some random files) and the From: address in those messages shows phil@domainname, however, when the message is delivered remotely it arrives From: phil@FQDN I can reproduce this behavior by invoking qmail-remote on the command line: qmail-remote yahoo.com phil@domainname [EMAIL PROTECTED] The message is delivered From phil@FQDN. Interestingly enough, if I tell it to use a random domain name (not in any of my control files) as the sender thing work fine: qmail-remote yahoo.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] The message arrives as From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]. Since the only configuration file that has anything to do w/ qmail-remote (based on the Big Picture image) is helohost, I'm clueless as to why qmail-remote keeps transforming phil@domainname to phil@FQDN when it appears as though I have things configured to prevent this. Can somebody please clue me in. This has been driving me nuts for quite awhile. I have the Qmail book, read the FAQ, scanned the archives, etc... and no luck. For what it's worth, I'm running qmail via tcpserver and using the supervise program (but since the problem can be reproduced from the command line, bypassing these programs, I don't believe they are a factor).

Re: Oops,I guess Sendmail wasn't secure after all...
I like sendmail, its slow - yes, but it is powerful and this silly bugs are fixed fast. Its just some C-Code, everyone knows this. Yeah, it is only a few hundred thousand lines of code, and you should have looked through it for bugs or exploits before you compiled it, right? It is just some C code, so you checked it out and fixed these bugs even before they were posted on bugtraq, right? I am glad that someone else is intimately familiar with the various bugs/incompatibilities with the various standard C libraries, OS differences regarding race conditions, etc. Please post a URL to your reviewed commented sendmail source. If you bought (OK, got for free) a car, and it exploded, leaving you burned, then you waited a week to get a new car mailed to you, then you drove it a month, it exploded again.repeat for 15+ years.would you not think of maybe trying a different free car? Is anyone offering a bounty on trolls? --ListMonkey = All your SMTP are belong to us.
Re: /var partition, queue size, and sendmail
On Wed, 30 May 2001, Joshua Nichols wrote: Are there performance concerns here? The main performance issue that springs to my mind is that you might not be able to optimize the partition for qmail (i.e. sync, noatime) if you're running it on a non-dedicated partition. You can try resizing ext2 partitions with the GNU Parted utility (see the GNU software archives), but you'll probably be happier adding another drive as a dedicated qmail partition. Another tip would be to increase the number of inodes on your dedicated /var/qmail partition (defined when you format the filesystem), and the number of available filehandles on your system (defined in /proc/sys/fs/file-max). You didn't say whether you were running out of space, inodes, or filehandles, but if you're going to tackle the problem in a comprehensive way, these items should be considered as well. -- Todd A.
