Is there a patch who tells qmail to search the users homedirectory in the ldap-server and not in the passwd file? That's a control file option. Check the docs for ldaplocaldelivery ... that sounds like what you want. You also need to be careful to either a) not use a field called homeDirectory in the LDAP database in a manner which conflicts with qmail-ldap's use of this value, or b) change that value in qmail-ldap.h before you compile.

timestamp wrong
Hi, the timestamp on mailmessages processed by my mail server is wrong - it's 20 hours fast. The time on the server is fine, time on the workstation is fine. A test message from me to me via the aforementioned server will result in a message delivered tomorrow sometime (well, it tells me that it's arrived tomorrow!). I saw a comment in one of the pages on cr.yp.to/??? that mentioned adding: TZ=CST6CDT to the line: env - PATH=/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin \ in the services qmail-pop3d, qmail-smtpd etc. I've done so, but the messages still have strange time stamps. Any ideas what the variable TZ means, if how I should use it here, and if not, how to get the delivery of messages reporting the correct time? I'm GMT+10.

Error 4.4.2 Duplicate messages
My company has implemented the Qmail 1.0.3 to handle the incoming Internet emails and relay them to our internal email server. A error message Deferral :Connected_to_x.x.x.x_but_connection_died._Possible _duplicate!_(#4.4.2)/ has been reported when handle some incoming SMTP mails.(where x.x.x.x is the ip of the internal mail server) Those mails will be kept in the queue and re-send again again until the queuelifetime has been expired. The same error message will be reported when they have been re-sent. But our internal mail server has already received such mails completely and delivered to the user. So the user will received the same mail many times due to the qmail re-send. Not all the incoming mails has such problem. It seem to be happened randomly. The mails with such error message reported are from different mail servers and with different sending time. The mail size of them are various, some with attachment and some without. No such error happened before implementation of the qmail. Does anybody have idea on this issue and help me to solve it?

The PAM module works fine for normal qmail operation with LDAP users, with no qmail modifications required. - -d - -- David Talkington PGP key: http://www.prairienet.org/~dtalk/dt000823.asc -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: PGP 6.5.8 Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.75-6 iQEVAwUBO0xy8b1ZYOtSwT+tAQH/WAf+L0YIpbO7IANu2jgkJJ/ryzunxgfZAM8F ArYjby0UXmsyc3eotKSLBcrASfYm7Vv+lgN2BwujhQGqTWYAat8zCqpK4ADsn6NY t/qpUhbyF2Il1Gh26Peqh+aBGjKtM1AWer387xvLXlM/OMwwUECeZKEDlZA+0Tra Bry5Y89Dp0rxFXs968wW4ayLwPYofXn/RcrLQOI2xO+1v9vFlcTfz9E3xK+cL8Y9 jTFjaDWSycHYO++Gk2ua6G24+AHGbIAGUe2snWyxrJCauKrn04uKtbklFYHpLhPw J/+Q2BHcdaeLyUYNWTZdF42PGzjgtybhGAfblshMKrxXpNFUAqOmmg== =1oaA -END PGP SIGNATURE-

The virtualdomains control file or the smtproutes control file. virtualdomains will take precedence; if it's in there, qmail knows it has to deliver messages locally rather than remotely. If you remove their domain from virtualdomains and put an smtproutes entry for them in, all mail for them which gets queued in the future will be forwarded to them -- messages which are currently queued and awaiting local delivery will not be affected, I think.

You could deliver the MX's mail to a maildir and use maildirsmtp from

No. The maildir spool + maildirsmtp cron job would be easier. No
coding required. Determining the age and size of the spool is
trivial.
Ok, so this sounds like it might not be so bad...but here's how it would
break down as I see it.
1) I'm gonna need a new drive and lets call it /mxhosts (maybe in a RAID
config for safety)
2) I'll start creating /mxhosts/domain.com/Maildir with maildirmake
3) I'll add domain.com to my rcpthosts AND my virtualdomains control files
directing mail to /mxhosts/domain.com/Maildir
4) Mail will begin to spool into those directories.
5) I can run a cron job every X minutes to try to iterate through
/mxhosts/domains and try every $domain and send mail via maildirsmtp
6) Every X hours or every night I can run another cron that checks the size
of /mxhosts/domain.com and the date of mail in ~/Maildir/new
How's that sound? Am I missing anything you can think of. As far as I
know, mail should NEVER be in ~/Maildir/cur right? Do you see any issue
with having possible thousands of domains in /mxhosts? Maybe I should do
/mxhosts/{0-9,A-Z}/domain.com -- based on first char of domain.
How will my system handle a bounce if the primary mail server decides to
reject mail? Will it just sit on my box for seven days and then get picked
up by my yet to be written cron job? Would it bounce to my postmaster?
This is starting to look a _lot_ easier then I first thought it would be.

Looks perfect to me. If you can convince your clients to run qmail and
have qmail-qmtpd running, you could even deliver to them with
maildirqmtp (sp?).
How's that sound? Am I missing anything you can think of. As far as I
know, mail should NEVER be in ~/Maildir/cur right?
qmail never touches anything in cur; just tmp and new. MUAs should be
the only thing moving files from new to cur, and you won't have an MUA
looking into your spool maildirs.
Do you see any issue with having possible thousands of domains in
/mxhosts? Maybe I should do /mxhosts/{0-9,A-Z}/domain.com -- based

Hashing is your friend on slow filesystems. You'll also want to use
morercpthosts.cdb for related reasons.
How will my system handle a bounce if the primary mail server decides to
reject mail? Will it just sit on my box for seven days and then get picked
up by my yet to be written cron job?
As far as qmail is concerned, the message has been delivered (it's no
longer in the qmail queue). But if your clients' primary MX is down for
a week, they've got bigger problems, and you'll probably have been
contacted by them in that period.

Re: Help setting up Hotmail
* Schajee Achmad [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I just wanted to confirm that if someone wants to make Hotmail of his own, then he'll need the following: Qmail, VmailMgr, Courier (not Courier-IMAP), ucspi-tcp, daemontools, supervise-scripts. Courier includes SqWebMail which can be modified to suit one's needs. You don't need courier for sqwebmail. As far as Hotmail goes, you'll also need Windows NT, IIS, and a crap-load of proprietary code. -- Drew

Request for advice (qmail-remote) Part II
Thankyou to those who have already replied to my first posting. However, as Charles Cazabon pointed out, I probably should have backed up a step to describe exactly what I am trying to achieve; and in doing so see if that makes the advice offered by Arjen van Drie and Dave Sill change in any way. Okaythe end result I would like to achieve is this: I want to put in a single machine that acts as a central mail gateway for an organization. All mail for every domain related to the organization will initially arrive there and be farmed out to the various branch mail servers (each which have one or more individual domains). Next I would like to offer every user in the organization a mail address [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Regardless of where they reside in the organization). Taking the case where I have 4 users: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [Located in the head office...connects directly to the central mail server] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [Located in branch1...connects to the branch1 mail server and has an alternate mail address [EMAIL PROTECTED]] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [Located in branch2...connects to the branch2 mail server and have alternate mail addresses [EMAIL PROTECTED]] For all branch mail users I was planning on creating .qmail files on the central mail server that forward mail for [EMAIL PROTECTED] through to branchuser@branch#.company.com So far so good...that part is easy. The problem I am trying to resolve is where user3 mails user4 at the address [EMAIL PROTECTED] I do not want the mail to be sent back to the central mail server and then returned to the address [EMAIL PROTECTED]. Instead I would like the branch mail server to realise that user4 is a local user and just deliver the mail to user4's local mail store. I hope that this outline clarifies exactly what I am trying to achieve, and doesn't sound too confusing. Thanks in advance, once again, for any advice anyone can provide.

Qmail
I have a small problem with something I'm trying to do. I have an old system that I want to upgrade 400+ users and Slackware kernel 2.0.33 The new system with all the users added Slackware kernel 2.2.13 How do I move the old mail from the old system to the new and get it to take on the user IDs etc. I'm using the Maildir setup. The new system starts with user IDs much higher than what are on the old system. Could be a little painful to move them one at a time and chown each user. Thanks Bob Ross

Instead I would like the branch mail server to realise that user4 is a local user and just deliver the mail to user4's local mail store. I suspect the easiest thing to do would be to get the qmail-ldap patches and install ldap. Keep the master LDAP database on the central server and run replica databases on each on the branch servers. Each server would then be able to use LDAP to determine where the mail really belongs. I haven't used all the functionality that this would require, but I'm fairly certain that qmail-ldap has everything you'd need.

All mail for every domain related to the organization will initially arrive there and be farmed out to the various branch mail servers (each which have one or more individual domains). Okay, that's easy; you put each branch domain in rcpthosts, and give it an appropriate smtproutes entry. Next I would like to offer every user in the organization a mail address [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Regardless of where they reside in the organization). Alright. company.com becomes a virtual domain on the central server. You can then forward mail from various users in it to the various branch domains using .qmail files, or perhaps with the fastforward package. You'd do this with something like this in virtualdomains: company.com:alias-company and ~alias/.qmail-company-default containing: |fastforward The problem I am trying to resolve is where user3 mails user4 at the address [EMAIL PROTECTED] I do not want the mail to be sent back to the central mail server and then returned to the address [EMAIL PROTECTED]. Instead I would like the branch mail server to realise that user4 is a local user and just deliver the mail to user4's local mail store. This becomes difficult with stock qmail -- you end up having to distribute some form of mapping from users to branch domains. It's possible, again with fastforward or .qmail files, but it's an administrative hassle. LDAP comes to mind as a solution here -- either an LDAP PAM module an unpatched qmail, or qmail-ldap. I'm afraid I can't offer much advice on qmail-ldap. Charles -- --- Charles Cazabon[EMAIL PROTECTED] GPL'ed software available at: http://www.qcc.sk.ca/~charlesc/software/ ---

We have no trouble with Outlook Express and Courier, and I believe Outlook uses the same mail subsystem as Outlook Express IF the former is in internet mail mode, and not MAPI (I think they call that corporate/workgroup mode). MAPI is an abomination anyway. At least that was true of Outlook when last I dealt with it, which I'm happy to say was about 18 months ago. That's true for Outlook 2000, yes. Outlook 2002 is happy to run IMAP -and- MAPI, so I've switched to that at work. Sadly, we use the abomination. -- rjbs

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: Reverse DNS lookups
FYI, my ISP did add the reverse PTR records last night. I appreciate the suggestion from Andreas to get RIPE involved. I think it was my email to RIPE, cc'ing my ISP, that was the key to making this happen. I am really under ARIN, not RIPE. However, my ISP is expanding into Europe, so I thought my ISP would be sensitive to RIPE. Thanks for all of the feedback.
