RBL-type header checking
I've written a filter in Python that scans for Received: lines and checks IP addresses found therein against a configurable list of RBL type services. It is in beta stages and definately under development, but it is very functional (doesn't crash for me anymore). http://www.fibrespeed.net/code/spamcheck.tar.gz It uses threads to look up multiple IPs simultaneously and adds a configurable header after applicable Received: lines in the form: X-SPAM-service: notice from TXT This allows the user to delete or re-file messages based on these headers instead of just having the mail deleted by their ISP. Its GPL'd and I'd appreciate any constructive feedback you might have as well as patches from the Python gurus out there. -- Michael T. Babcock CTO, FibreSpeed

RE: qmail-remote (cry wolf?)
Not being a programmer, I have no clue how to trace this, but if someone were able to help me, I'd be glad to give it a go. I'm on FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE at the moment, and will be updating again soon. Qmail is built with patches, a concurrency patch and the patches from the FreeBSD port. qmail-remote itself was not patched from 1.03. What I'm seeing on these stuck processes, is that they're in a state of 'sbwait' (as shown by top). netstat doesn't show any open connections to the remote hosts (smtp or otherwise). This problem doesn't seem to be related to the remote host, no matter the MTA. I've seen several stuck qmail-remote processes to a certain host, but scanning through logs shows that mail has been successfully sent to that same host on multiple occasions, both prior and after the stuck process was launched. This doesn't seem to be a networking problem. On one occasion, I had over 1500 messages queued up because the number of stuck qmail-remote processes ate up my concurrency limit. After clearing up the blockge, the box processed those 1500 messages in less than 30 minutes. However, it left behind another handfull of stuck qmail-remote processes. Other messages were undeliverable and left in the queue, and still others were sent back to sender with permanent errors. Logs are intact. There's a start of delivery entry, but if qmail-remote gets stuck, there is no further reference to those messages. Yes, I can read the messages in the queue. They are intact and appear to be properly formatted. There is no proxy server or firewall between this box and the rest of the Internet. Only a Cisco 2924 switch, a 3640 router and a T1 ride out to ATT or Sprint. I hope all this information helps. Anyone should feel free to ask for more details, but please be specific in the information you need.

Re: url of sqwebmail too long!!!!
I hope I understand what your asking. Actually, I think what he's trying to do is the same thing I've been trying to do -- make mail.domain.com equivalent to www.domain.com/cgi-bin/sqwebmail. In that case, an alias wouldn't work, because that would require www.domain.com/alias/, not mail.domain.com.

Re: qmail-remote (cry wolf?)
processed those 1500 messages in less than 30 minutes. However, it left behind another handfull of stuck qmail-remote processes. Other messages were undeliverable and left in the queue, and still others were sent back to sender with permanent errors. What do you mean by stuck? Do you mean they *never* go away - even after a day or two? As others have pointed out, a slow delivery can take a long, long time. That's not necessarily a problem, that's just the way it is. To find out a bit more about what a stuck qmail-remote is doing, you may want to ktrace it and show us the output. Find the process id of the stuck qmail-remote and then as root go: ktrace -p thepid Leave that running for at least an hour and show us the output. Yes, I mean at least an hour. Regards.

A Meta http-equiv=refresh content=0;url=http://mail.somewhere.com/cgi-bin/somewhere; tag in the index of a virtual host would do the trick. Also, An alias would work in only this case: UseCanonicalName On #is specified in your httpd.conf file for the master host with aliases to all other domains mail.x.y And you copy the login page the CGI gives you and in the form action paramater, you put an SSI using the environment variable SERVER_NAME, to reference a symlink (or the directory itself) to the right file.

Re: No mailbox for root
Guus, For security reasons qmail does not send mail directly to the root account. This is in the docs and in Life With Qmail. You need to create alias' for Postmaster, Mailer-Daemon, and root. To do this you need to decide which user should receive mail for those accounts (most likely yourself, eg. guus, or the name of your system account): echo guus /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-root echo guus /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-postmaster ln -s /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-postmaster /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-mailer-daemon chmod 644 /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-root /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-postmaster After you've done that go back and reread Life With Qmail at www.lifewithqmail.org to find out _why_ you needed to do it.

RE: ms-outlook bug
The problem I am referring to is the one where Outlook Express and Outlook 2000 get stuck while downloading certain messages, supposedly due to a bug in the MUA's. (The only solution I heard of is deleting the offending message) I have been using Outlook for ~2-3 years on a vpopmail server, and have never had a single message cause a problem like this. In fact, this is the first I'd ever heard of such a thing. Currently I'm just using vanilla qmail-pop3d, and in 25,000 or so messages, I haven't run into such a thing, but I haven't really hit widespread use yet. --joshua.

qmail-inject errors - final answer
I did a little research on the Reiser mailing list. I realized that the
error was happening because of the Reiser patch I installed. This code that
was failing was not in the original qmail source.
It appears that because of qmails speed at sending out mails, the link that
is made by:
if (link(intdfn,todofn) == -1) die(66);
at the end of qmail-queue.c is gone because the mail gets sent before the
code from the Reiser Patch can fsync it. I know I still need the fsync, but
I am not going to be worried about the error if the link cannot be fsync'ed
since it is most likely gone because it has been sent.
So I changed the code from the patch:
if ((fd = open(todofn, O_RDONLY)) = 0
|| fsync(fd || close(fd)) die(66);
to:
/* fsync the data on ReiserFS drives */
if ((fd = open(todofn, O_RDONLY)) = 0 )
{
fsync(fd);
close(fd);
}
Now, I get no errors.

backup mail server help
I think my mind is unstable from trying to figure this out on my own.

I know about the MX records in DNS, but how do I make qmail accept the messages but not deliver them and eventually send them back to the higher priority server. Man I'm confused.
