Re: can qmail rewrite an email adresse to resend it to the goodserveur ??
I need to replace a netscape mesenger server fonctionality with Qmail: is it possible with QMAIL? sure it is, but ...how ??? It is simple after some reading. all mails are recieve to the same server. when it receive an email it looks on the LDAP if he have to deliver it locally or remotely. /var/qmail/control/locals is there exactly for this. if it is remotely it rewrite the adresse as "user@good-server-adress" and send it. Search the archives for forward-domain. You will not have to go back so much in time if my memory works on my side. of course it use a specific feild in the ldap but I can change what ever I want on my LDAP "joe /var/qmail/control/locals" is your friend.

Re: ^M character at the end of each line
I've noticed a ^M character in some plain text email messages in the qmail queue. Why is it there The ^M is the remain of a M$ machine's CR/LF pair, not converted. ...and how can i remove it ? For the existing messages in the queue I'd say sed or alike. For upcoming messages, you will have to find the point of misconfiguration. I could not tell you which side you should look for it (client or server).

Re: I'm not root, can I use qmail?
I have a shell account on a system (not root). I would like to setup qmail as an SMTP server on port 2525. It would only be used for outgoing mail, not incoming mail. In general, it is a strange idea to set up a mail gateway without notifying the root (even if it is for outgoing mails only). Your netadmin will set it up for you if it is really important. If he/she refuses, get an SMPT server address from outside and send your mail through that. Does anyone know how I might go about implementing this? Can qmail be run in a daemon mode to listen to port 2525, instead of being started by /etc/inetd.conf? Starting qmail by inetd (and using inetd at all) is 'a bit' outdated. I have three letters for you: LWQ. Good luck. Csaba __ This message went through virus scan at Trend Ltd. which stated the message was clean of viri appeared before 2001.06.20.
Re: Appending text to the bottom of outgoing messages
I have a request from 2 of the domains I host to add an appended text to the bottom of every outgoing email. I think I could force it easy enough if it was the only domain hosted by the server, but since I'm hosting around 20, and only 2 want it, and wouldn't you know it they want different text, how can I accomplish this? Is it possible. More importantly, is it easy (sorry I'm feeling very lazy today)? If it could be done for an only domain (which code/patch I would really like to see), it could be easily modified to read the text to append from a file which has the domain name in its name (say from 'append_$actdomain.txt' where actdomain=some.domain.com). So the solution is there; some of append_foo.txt files are empty and 2 of them are not.

Re: /did_1+0+0/ meaning ?
qmailI don't know understand the message "/did_1+0+0/" in /var/log/syslog file when qmail success delivery Example: May 30 11:06:38 www2 qmail: 991191998.879928 delivery 9: success: /did_1+0+0/ It was discussed not so long ago, look for it in archives. ...next time. Now, I can tell you that it stands for (deliveries)+(forwards)+(program forwards). So, in the most simple case - like your example - it means that one local delivery has been successfully done.

Re: Qmail/SMTP Gateway for dial-up mail server
I have a situation where the following scenario has risen... LAN-LocalQMailServer-(Dial-up)Internet -- QmailGateway Let me start with I have a similar situation: LAN---MyQMailServer---(Dial-up)---(.*)Gateway==MailGateway,. .. ... and I had no problems setting the mail-related things up. So I would like to create a qmail server that will store all of the emails for thisdomain.com and be the MX record in dns == QmailGateway (above) Is that MX record neccessary? Mailer system that wants to send e-mail to one of your users will complain if you are not connected at the time it sends the mail. And configure the LocalQmailServer (above) which has all of the real email accounts on it to dial up to the internet and download all the email intended for thisdomain.com to itself and then deliver it locally. So my real question is.. Can this be done with qmail? Yes, but you will also need fetchmail. fetchmail setup is quite simlple after reading its docs, write me if no success. On the qmail side you will need the locals control file containing your domain (mine also contains full server name and IP but it seems obsolete) and maybe rcpthosts (read man qmail-control et al about it).

Re: need a thought..
Hi, I think an anti-viral method is more efficient if the system it runs on is not endangered (or much less endangered) by viri it is about to filter. I do not see why do "the guys" want to split smtp and pop3 server (in fact I only see more administration in it), but if the split has been decided, you should use a linux server also on the pop3 job, in my opinion. You can still use two or more virus scanners at the same time - see qmail-scanner for example.
