Can someone please BAN those annoying spam, and dumb Exchange Scanmailprograms ? This is getting unacceptable! - The list is unusable. Certainly not. Get a better mail client. Hey Drew, Just out of sheer wonder..How is a mail client going to stop the mails from coming in? Granted a few well placed filters would be a good start.. but the fact remains the emails still come in. Wouldn't a statement like use filters be better than get a better mail client Seems to me the mail client is doing the job it was designed to do. The person GOT the mails, and then was able to SEND mail to the list complaining about the mail he/she got. Sounds like the MUA did it's job.

modify/hide HELO ip from client?
Hi, I'd like to modify the received: header to hide the client IP. From the list archive I've found out how to do the following: 207.194.aaa.aaa:allow,RELAYCLIENT=,TCPREMOTEHOST=myqmail-host.com, TCPREMOTEIP=64.157.bbb.bbb which works great, but, I can't seem to change the 'HELO 207.194.aaa.aaa' part of the received: header. Nor can I modify the client (thebat) to use a false HELO IP. So the header looks like this: Received: from myqmail-host.com (HELO 207.194.aaa.aaa) (64.157.bbb.bbb) by 0 with SMTP; where 207.194.aaa.aaa is my real client IP. I want the email to look like it's coming from my qmail server IP and not my workstation IP. Is there any way to modify the HELO part of the header? Something like HELO=64.157.bbb.bbb would be ideal, but... Thanks, Phil.

Sorry to cause unnecessary list traffic, but I just discovered how to
do what I was asking below. Thanks again to the qmail list archive
(FYI http://www-archive.ornl.gov:8000/ ). All I did was edit the
receive.c file and changed:
if (helo) {
qmail_puts(qqt, (HELO );
safeput(qqt,helo);
qmail_puts(qqt,));
}
to:
if (helo) {
qmail_puts(qqt, (HELO myqmail-host.com));
}
and recompiled. This was described in the following email:

Still... any idea on how to filter outgoing mail?
Hi everyone! I've installed qmail which is a relay for the internal network; now I need a way to filter all outgoing messages based on the sender's IP. Ideally I should be able to divert all messages sent from one ws to a given mail account no matter what de original destination was; the ability to make a BCC to a certain mail account of all messages sent form that ws will do too... Anybody with a hint? Can it be done with Qmail or am I hunting a ghost? Thanks in advance for your help. ETH

Hope it helps.

Well, there were over 20 e-mails from 'Wilson' yesterday - approx 200k each. 4mb in one day is not much if you are on a fast net connection, but if you are on dialup access it represents a little too much for one mailing list (especially if you can't unsubscribe in time!).

Re: What replaces /bin/mail?
Thank you, Lukas, for replying. Sorry it's taken me so long to follow up; too many fires at work. You're right, deleting /bin/mail is not mentioned in Life with Qmail. Unfortunately, step 14 in the INSTALL file that comes with qmail-1.03 says, Read REMOVE.binmail. and, as expected, REMOVE.binmail tells you remove the permissions and make sure that 'mail' invokes a useable mailer. This is the step I was having trouble with. I just went back and re-enabled the permissions on my original /bin/mail program. I invoked it with mail -v [EMAIL PROTECTED] which usually lets me compose a message, then watches as it contacts the MTA and sends it. Composing worked normally, but nothing happened after I typed . and it said EOT. HOWEVER, I just checked my mailbox and the message came through. so I guess everything is working correctly. Philosophical question: Why is there a difference between the Life with Qmail installation directions and the directions in the INSTALL file? Which should be followed, or is it obvious, since the Life with Qmail directions worked? Thanks, again, Lukas, for your help. -Kevin Zembower - E.

Re: New ways for email DoS
Hello George, As far as I know, there is no really clean way. However, the following (implemented in our autoresponder utility for answering user inquiries and our newsgroup gateway) approach may work for you: have a on disk hash table that records the 'user' part of 'user@domain' and time. Now, for each delivery, a check is performed to ensure that 'user@domain' doesn't have more than x number of messages in y seconds. If the limit is exceeded, the sender gets a bounce with warning. So, basically this is a throttle. It should give some relief to your situation. Regards, Chin Fang [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello, Yesterday, I came up to a strange situation: I was receiving thousands of bounces to a lot of different usernames@mydomain. Since mydomain is in my rcpthosts/locals file, I was accepting these messages. But a lot of different usernames didn't exist so these messages were going to postmaster. My mailserver had a lot of traffic, its logfiles were very large and the mailbox of postmaster become unreadable. Is there any way to prevent my mail servers from these types of attack? Thanks for your time, George Stathakopoulos

If you followed the INSTALL doc, try re-installing qmail by following the lifewithqmail doc. In any case, answer the first question and we'll see what we can do... The install was done by a highly paid Linux/Qmail Consultant - who is stumped, which is cold comfort to me. I have questioned him at length on install procedures and he swears to have followed the INSTALL doc to a T. He has been knowledgable on other projects and I do have a good amount of faith in him and his work and while he does have reason to cover his butt because of his fees, I don't believe he is. # I am faced with the prospect of re-installation which I will do myself this time - but I would rather not have to if there was some other solution. However, on the subject of re-installation, and forgive me because I have not researched this in the archives, do I need to de-install qmail before reinstalling or can I simply overwrite it? And another newbie type question: I checked out GNUS's homepage. I am a slave to Outlook. I would like to break the bonds but, uh, I didn't see anything about a release for NT Server. Is there one?

relay question (was: badmailfrom the right way)
i know i have asked this before, but got no responses yet, so i simplify my question a little bit and hope for an answer. how can i deny mail from outside with envelope FROM: 123@mydomain RCPT: 456@mydomain (in the case 123 and 456 are valid mailboxes) currently i have tcpserver with RELAYCLIENT and an entry in badmailfrom: @mydomain is this optimal? can qmail end the session after MAIL FROM: ? (now it does after RCPT TO) my setup: INTERNET | QMAIL SERVER (2 Interfaces, qmail-1.03 - qmailqueue and spamcontrol patch) | PRIVATE NETWORK i am switching to qmail from sendmail because got sick of obscure .cf files. qmail is cleaner in design than sendmail and therefore easier to understand. - security benefit. thanks btw. topic of the mailinglist is QMAIL right ? -- Philipp Lopaur

Don't get me wrong, there are valid uses for 'doze, but reading your mail isn't one of them. /snip I have to interject here. This is a mailing list FOR qmail users ABOUT qmail. I don't see the relevance of a persons choice of OS, editor, MTA, or anything else on this list. (Well, possibly MTA if you were having a problem with qmails' pop3 daemon) Frankly, WHO CARES if you run linux,unix,windows,OS/2,MS-DOS, or anything else? Who cares if you use wordpad,word,pico,vi(m),joe,ee, or DOS edit? Who cares if you use pine,mutt,telnet,eudora,outlooke,messenger,mulberry, or any other MUA? What you use on your machine in no way affects anyone else on this list as long as you are intelligent enough to have decent virus scanning utilites (if your OS is a target for infection) and keep your signatures up to date. I won't tell you what OS I use. I won't tell you the editor, the MUA, because it in no way affects you unless it's pertinent to a PROBLEM I'm asking about. Nor will I tell you my race,creed,color,religion,sex,or anything else that doesn't matter. Look at it like this. Everyone has a choice to use what THEY like. That is why there are so many (insert program/daemon/utility here) As long as it does the job well enough for the person using it, who the hell is anyone else to judge? If we were not supposed to have a choice.. EVERYONE would be using sendmail. It was and still is the De Facto Standard smtp daemon. If everyone used the same software, and had no choice, qmail, postfix, exim, Exchange, and all the other MTA's wouldn't exist. We would all still be using [MS/PC]-DOS on our 8086 processors because nobody would have the CHOICE to upgrade.. Hell companies wouldn't have the CHOICE to research and develop better processors. The point here is this: If a member of this list uses XYZ software.. thats fine.. you ALL have 'qmail' in common. Lets keep the discussions of this list ON-TOPIC (qmail, right?) and then we can all get along without this childish My software is better than your software mentality.

Re: Possible degenerate case in trigger handling?
A second and more defensive measure is to issue a non-blocking read on
the pipe to drain all qmail-queue bytes *prior* to the todo
This is the solution I eventually used. Works like a charm. I've
appended the patch so that it gets into the archives. Variations from
the original post include opening the trigger file just the once as
well as setting it non-blocking at the time it's opened. I've called
it the trigger-happy patch :

Checking email content and block it at smtpd level?
Hi! Is there any tool / patch that allow me to check contents of email or other header other than the envelope sender on smtpd level, and reject the delivery on certain condition? Something like regexp condition - or PCRE is even better - to check the content while delivered to qmail-smptd? I know there are filters work using QMAILQUEUE patch, but this work on the email after it is accepted, means it already take resources, and if cannot be bounced, may ends up in postmaster mailbox (is it?). I am thinking something like Wildmat patch, or fake smtpd server like rblsmtpd, extended to check the whole email against a regexp / PCRE terms. Any idea?

Proper way to run multiple qmail-smtpd
Hi all, can someone tell me what the proper way to run multiple instances of tcpserver to have qmail-smtpd listen to multiple IP's? I realize that a 0 to tcpserver will cause it to listen to all addresses but I need to only listen to a few. I have a working qmail install on the box in question based on lifewithqmail and I'm thinking that just recursively copying the /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd directory qmail-smtpd1, qmail-smtpd2, etc. and editing the run files to use the correct IP's for tcpserver would be good enough, just wanted to check though.

Mail Forwarding Service
Hello, I am using qmail to run a mail forwarding service. When the mail server receives a message at [EMAIL PROTECTED], it looks up the alias in a MySQL database and forwards the message to an e-mail address given in the MySQL database. I am accomplishing this by putting in my .qmail-default file for that domain: |/home/brc/bin/forward where /home/brc/bin/forward is a perl script which: 1. connects to the MySQL database 2. looks up the database to determine which address to forward to 3. opens a pipe to /usr/sbin/sendmail (taking care to use exec so that special characters aren't interpreted by the shell) to deliver the message to the recipient This seems to be too inefficient though. We have thousands of active members; since I implemented this script, our machine's load average is up from 1 or 2 to 10!! Looking at top, I usee the forward process running a lot (remember it has to be called every time someone @mydomain.com receives a message). Does anyone have suggestions on how to make this more efficient? Can I open a persistent database connection to MySQL somehow? And is there a better way to pass the message on than opening a pipe to /usr/sbin/sendmail? Should I rewrite the perl script in C perhaps?
