administrative copy of qmail mails
Dear Sir/Madam, I have read the Life With Qmail in the web. I have found it very interested and i have set up my mail server using Qmail and i found it is very great!! I have a problem here about Qmail, would you please kindly help me to find out the answer..?? I have set up my qmail server and it can run properly in the past month till now As some reasons, we decided to have make some configures.. I need to configure the qmail server which can automatically keep a copy of in and out mail of some specified address in some domains. For example, in the domain abc.com there are three email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] And all email send from or to [EMAIL PROTECTED] will need to have another copy of the mail in the email box [EMAIL PROTECTED] For incoming email, i think it can easily handled by .qmail files. However, for outgoing mail. How can i do so...?? Or is there any integrated method that i can do both in a simple manner. Hope you can answer me. Best Regards, Raymond Hui

Connection difficulties
Hi! I'm using Qmail with vpopmail as pop3-server, but most of the time when clients connect to the server, it takes like forever before they are allowed to check for mail. Both external and internal. Internally I thought I had solved it, by putting my local hosts into the /etc/hosts file, but it doesn't seem to work that well. It still takes too long time to connect. Most of the times the connection gets a timeout... Any suggestions? (and yes, I think I have been through the faq 3 times... no luck) Thanks in advance! Thomas Rokamp

spam/other custom bouncing
I am attempting to figure out the best way to set up an auto-response (bounce, in a manner of speaking) triggered by sender domain, in order to facilitate not just rejecting specific domains, but auto-answering mail from them. The situation is as follows: My company receives mail from vary large number of different domains, most legitimate, but some notorious spammers, and some a combo of both. The problem is that I am uncomfortable just adding a domain to badmailfrom, as I have to be really careful blocking out entire domains lest I block out some legitimate users. badmailfrom only provides an smtp rejection, and I cannot guarantee that an end-user could figure out what happened. Therefore, I would like to maintain a list of domains a la badmailfrom, but rather than doing an smtp reject, an autoreponse would result (your mail has been reject because blah, please contact blah etc. etc. ). This way, legitimate users on banned domains would have an opportunity to notify us and get unbanned. It seems simple on the surface, but most every filter I have found so far relies on RBLs (love em, but far too arbitrary for this task), or receiver address/domain (it's all coming to the same domain, I need to filter by sender domain). I am sure there must be a fairly simple way to complete this, but I'm not having a lot of luck so far. Any help/thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Mike Culbertson sysadmin P.S. The qmail boxes in question are acting as relays only, I am trying to avoid using procmail to filter all deliveries, as 99.9% is sent onwards to another host, not locally. Don't want to double-process the mail if I don't have to, rather have qmail handle all the filtering alone if possible.

Thanks a lot to you all. Disabling the command fixed it. I didn't know about that proxying feature of the firewall. I have to check wether it's worth or not leaving it enabled.

Slow Connection with LVS
We have a couple of Qmail servers in a cluster (LVS), co-existing with Sendmail. The qmail servers take half and one minute each for establishing the connection with client when connecting thru the LVS. The tcpserver option I am using is R and t 0 with which, direct connection happens with absolutely no delay. The LVS is fine I guess since the sendmail gets connected without any delay thru LVS. Could any one help me reducing this delay? Thanks, Mehul.

more spam bouncing
After some thought, perhaps I shoud clarify what I am trying to do. I have looked and looked, and seems most every feature for filtering relies on .qmail files, or something like procmail. I would like to determine if there is a way to avoid both of these. Since the machines in question with this problem are relays (private relays in case you are wondering), there are no home directories for me to add .qmail files to. Also, since they don't hold mail locally, with procmail, the path would be: sender qmail procmail qmail relay target host which would signifigantly increase the load required to send each piece of mail on to it's destination. I don't want to send every piece of mail through procmail (or similar) if I don't have to. What would be great would be to have qmail-smtpd catch the HELO or MAIL FROM address the sender gives (a la badmailfrom) and do something, like perhaps dump the mail to a local account for further processing, or initiate a bounce, anything other than just an smtp reject. This way, good mail would travel clean on through the relay without being subject to any additional filtering, and only mail matching a bad domain would get handled further. This may be entirely out of the realm of capability within the parameters I have described, I'm not sure. It just seems there must be some way to fanagle qmail itself into reacting to the sender domain. If this answer is painfully obvious, feel free to slap me, but I'd rather know regardless :) Mike Culbertson

This is possible. For the particular hosts/IP addresses you want to filter mail from, have entries in your tcprules file like this: 1.2.3.4:allow,RELAYCLIENT=@mailfilter Then, in virtualdomains, have an entry like: mailfilter:alias-mailfilter Then, have ~alias/.qmail-mailfilter-default which contains appropriate instructions for what to do with these messages. Note that they could be addressed to any domain originally, and qmail-smtpd will append the contents of RELAYCLIENT to the address they supply.

Re: LWQ/svscan question
Dave can probably give a more detailed answer to this, but you don't symbolicly link the directories into /service until you're ready to run them. And even then, svscan won't start them until you do a svc -u (or -o) /service/servicename . Everything I've read about svscan says that once you create the symbolic link in /service that the new service will start within 5 seconds. I don't use svscan to run Qmail (mainly due to a newbie mess up when I initially installed Qmail and don't want to break what *IS* working fine for my needs) but I *DO* use svscan for djbdns and in every instance where I have installed djbdns and created the symbolic link in /service, dnscache has always started on it's own.

LWQ/svscan question
I looked at the new version of Life with qmail for the first time today, so forgive me if this is a little late. I didn't see anything in the archive to suggest it had already been talked aobut. Since the new LWQ sets up svscan to run independently of the qmail control script, would it not be a wise idea to include a down file in each supervise directory, so that qmail and any other services would not start up when svscan is run? That way you would have greater control over when and in what order the supervised services began during boot-up. ---Kris Kelley

Dave Sill replied: That was my original goal, but I soon discovered that the qmail init script was being run before svscan was started, so qmail wasn't starting when the system was rebooted. I opted to remove the down files and let svscan start them ASAP, which is safe since the init scripts have alread been run by that point. I think I'd prefer to have svscan running before any of the relevant init scripts were executed, because I plan on supervise-ing other programs besides qmail. I like the idea of having them all in one place, overseen by one svscan process (my current set-up calls svscan three times), but would like more control over what order the services are started. So what I'll probably do is call svscan from its own start-up script that runs before the scripts of qmail and the other programs, and sprinkle down files where appropriate. It doesn't look like it, but would I be at the risk of breaking anything else in the LWQ scheme of things if I do it this way? Charles Cazabon wrote: Mea culpa; I claim brain fade.

smtp auth failures
Hello. I received a fortune cookie today some here may like: It is harder to ask the right questions than to find answers for the wrong questions. Lucky # 6,8,38,40,45 A perceived problem I am trying to solve is that sending mail from eudora win 4.3 or 5.1 with AUTH enabled to a qmail server I administrate results in unsent email in the outgoing eudora queue when the password given is incorrect. Well, that's not the problem really. But since the error code is 553, it results in a broken mail entry which will requires manual requeue dexterity. The very users who can't type their password are the ones who need to do this, but I fear they will not see the rcpthosts error message and move on to some other tasks, mail never sent, thinking it the message it on it's way (or with qmail, there already). Any ideas on good things to try? I could modify the rcpthosts message to be more got the password wrong there buddy, or foiled relay attempt. I'm wondering if a 400 level message might be better, since at least it would requeue and succeed later with another future password prompt. (non-users relaying attempts will then suffer return trips though - very bad?) There it is. any wise thoughts here? Thanks John

Re: ReiserFs and qmail
We are running Qmail on Reiser and have been very happy. You can see one thread in this list from me where we got intermittent errors from qmail when doing a lot of mailings at a time. We discovered that the qmail patch for Reiser caused the error. Look for 'qmail-inject error' from me in the list. The only time that this combo is dangerous if when you have a system crash. Because neither ext2 (AFAIK) or Reiser sync the disk when creating a link, there is a possibility that if the system crashed before the kernel synced the disk, a mail can be lost. Evidently on BSD when a link is made it is immediately sync to disk. However, with my understanding of Reiser and it being a journaling FS, this should never cause a problem. I would however suggest making the small change to the patched code so that you do not get senseless errors. Brian Moon -- dealnews.com, Inc.

This is what I found on every line in /var/log/qmail/smtpd/current: @40003b2c94571738f434 tcpserver: status: 0/20 which I guess is fairly normal.

Please note that this line was also reported by YOON, Joo-Yung with his error occuring in smtpd/current and mine happening in pop3d/current...

I do not understand why it makes this warning because there are no other mailers, and there is only one svscan. There mustn't be more than one supervise for each service. According to an earlier mail from you there's two processes of ''supervise qmail-smtpd''. That explains the CPU usage and the log. Jörgen
