Two possibilities come to my mind:

badmailfrom

2001-07-13 Thread Tom Beer

Hi,

I read the archives, and posted a while ago on this topic with
no solution. What I want is to block specific domains / addresses.
This is not, in first instance, related to blocking spam. Now the
problem is, that fetchmail, if receiving a badmailfrom request
from qmail-smtpd stops delivering. I don't need or may use orbs 
or rlbs solutions, though not related to spammers. Is there a
way to achive simple blocking some domains maybe with a
replacement for fetchmail? I read Charles Getmail FAQ, with
no clue if it could serve my purpose.

Thanks Tom

If it's a valid local user, then you haven't installed properly.  How
did you install?  We can't help you without a _lot_ more information.
If you didn't use the Life with qmail method, you should probably
start over from scratch and follow Life with qmail.  It's much easier
for novices to get a working system this way.

 If i send a mail to myself from remote site, the maillog will say
 nothing, and i cant get the mail too.

If the message reaches the qmail server, it _will_ be logged.

Yes, the qmail-send log tells you this.  You may also want to look into
using djb's qmail-analog package as well.  See the list archives for

That's the way fetchmail works if you've got it configured to deliver by
re-injecting with SMTP -- every message it tries to deliver has to be
successfully accepted by the SMTP server, or it stops working.

If you don't like this behaviour, don't deliver by SMTP injection, or
stop using fetchmail.

Re: remote relay, multiple forwarding

2001-07-13 Thread Dave Sill

Charles Cazabon [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

This is the way to do it.  What you could do is make a domain virtual,
and create a couple of .qmail files to handle it.  In virtual domains,
do

  defaultdomain:alias-defaultdomain

then have ~alias/.qmail-defaultdomain-jim, which forwards to two
addresses, and ~alias.qmail-defaultdomain-default, which just contains

  |forward $DEFAULT@otherdomain

where otherdomain is an alias that will get the mail to the right MTA,
either through an MX record, or an entry in smtproutes.

Better yet, make a virtual user. Put:

jim@defaultdomain:alias-defaultdomain

in control/virtualdomains and create ~alias/.qmail-defaultdomain-jim
as above. No need for ~alias/.qmail-defaultdomain-default.

Roger,

A little more info for you...

To search archives:
http://www.ornl.gov/cts/archives/mailing-lists/qmail/

Excerpt from: http://cr.yp.to/qmail/faq/orientation.html#os

What operating systems does qmail support?

Answer: qmail works on practically all UNIX systems: AIX, BSD/OS,
FreeBSD, HP/UX, Irix, Linux, NetBSD, OpenBSD, OSF/1, SunOS, Solaris,
etc. It automatically adapts itself to new
UNIX variants.

qmail does not support Windows NT.

You can.  Whether you want to or not is a separate matter.  If you're
looking at building a high-volume mail server, Solaris is not the best
choice for qmail (or other software, for that matter).

If, on the other hand, you just want a secure, reliable MTA to replace
sendmail with, to handle a few dozen/hundred/thousand messages a day,
qmail is perfect for the job, on just about any Unix-like OS.

smtp only

2001-07-13 Thread GARGIULO Eduardo INGDESI

Hi all.

I have a server running sendmail with thousand users.
I want to put another server with qmail to act as smtp
only. What I need is users configure qmail as smtp server
but keep the mailboxes on sendmail. If qmail receives
a message to a user domain it delivers to sendmail.

thanks

Configure qmail as if it were a secondary MX for the domain, and put an
smtproutes entry in which directs mail for the domain to the sendmail
server.  Note you'll still need sendmail running as an SMTP daemon,
simply to accept mail from the qmail server.

The other way would be to have the qmail box deliver messages over NFS
-- but that's only 100% safe with Maildirs, and you're unlikely to be
delivering mail to $USER/Maildir/ on the sendmail box.

vacation does not reply to sender

2001-07-13 Thread Johannes Marchart

Hi!

using Peter Samuel's vacation program my 
.qmail file has to look like

|/var/qmail/bin/preline /usr/local/bin/vacation john
./Maildir/

to get the reply to the sender. 
BUT using preline is no good (I/O Buffers.)


When my .qmail looks like

|/usr/local/bin/vacation john
./Maildir

the user gets mail but the sender *no* vacation message



Any ideas?
Thank you!

  Is there a

re: relaying

what's exactly your problem ?
try telnetting the server and do a smtp conversation by hand
if it works, the problem has to searched by perl, if this doesn't work 
either, tell us some details about your configuration and especially your logs

RTFM: 'man preline' indicates that it prepends From_, Return-Path and
Delivered-To.  If vacation depends on any one of those lines (likely,
given its purpose), it'll obviously fail without preline's help.
