Re: Machine names in message headers

John,

Try reading the man page for qmail-control and qmail-inject. I suspect
that some of your qmail control files still reference the original
hostname of the machine, and not the current hostname.

Re: Problem with Qmail Queueing

2001-07-24 Thread Jamin A. Brown

It sounds to me like you didn't stop and restart the qmail-send daemon
after making those changes. Read the man page on qmail-send.

This little snippet is probably the most helpful:

CONTROL FILES
   WARNING:  qmail-send  reads its control files only when it
   starts.  If you change the control files,  you  must  stop
   and restart qmail-send.  Exception: If qmail-send receives

Re: Error deferral: Unable_to_chdir_to_maildir._(#4.2.1)/

2001-07-05 Thread Jamin A. Brown

Eddy,

qmail delivers mail as the user it is delivering to (assuming a standard
install). So the recipient of the mail has to A.) have permissions to get
to and write into the Maildir, and B.) The Maildir and its subdirectories
need to exist.

You should be able to use ls -l to determine if the ownership and
permissions are correct on the homedirectory and Maildir in question. If
the Maildir doesn't exist, create it.

If you can't figure it out, we will need more information, like logfiles,
an ls -lR of the user's home directory, etc.

That's what I get for making assumptions...

It probably is coming from double bounces. But Sendmail on the sending

MAIL FROM: <#@[]>

2001-03-19 Thread Jamin A. Brown

Hello,

I'm noticing a fair amount of spam coming into our system where the
sending server is using MAIL FROM: <#@[]>.

Is there a quick an easy way to block this using tcpserver and/or
rblsmtpd?

I would like to setup something like:

RULE:allow,RBSMTPD="Domain of sender address does not exist." (This is the
same as Sendmail does by default.)

But I can't seem to get the rule working correctly.

Any pointers, or am I going about it the wrong way? Perhaps I should be
using procmail instead?

Ari,

1.) You *shouldn't* have to patch Qmail for this behavior. Qmail is
following the RFCs and denying your mail because it has bare linefeeds.

2.) If you must "fix" Qmail, use the fixcrio program. This program comes
as part of the ucspi-tcp-0.88 package.

Re: virtualdomain/smtproute

2001-02-06 Thread Jamin A. Brown

Michael,

Haven't yet seen a response, so I'll write one. :)

You can do this fairly easily by setting up the following:

virtualdomains:
corp.rocketcash.com:alias-corp_rocketcash_com/

Then, you'll need to 'mkdir ~alias/.qmail-corp_rocketcash_com'

Inside that directory, you'll want to create a file called '-default'
(this can be tricky, as most programs see - as a switch delimiter. You
will probably need to specify the file as ./-default while in that
directory.) Inside this file, place the line:

|forward ${DEFAULT}@corp.netzero.net

The above file acts as a .qmail-default for that domain, forwarding
anything not already specified to the same [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You can now create specific user files in the same directory to override
this behaviour.

Say you wanted [EMAIL PROTECTED] to forward to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] You would create a file called -jamin in the
~alias/.qmail-corp_rocketcash_com directory, and inside it place:

&jbrown@@corp.netzero.net

Hope this makes sense to you.

There is a patch for rblsmtpd that allows it to block using A records (as

This has to do with both MX records (getting the mail to the server) and
the Qmail configuration (letting the mail server know what to do with mail
for that domain). The Qmail part is sovered in the docs.

Hmmm, you do realize that qpop3d runs as the user, not root? Look at the
ownership of the new, cur and tmp directories. Change them to chandler,
not root. This should fix the problem.

Also, what's the chandler dir for?

Why have a .qmail file? Or do you not have Maildir as your default

Deny for DNS Mismatch

2001-01-09 Thread Jamin A. Brown

Hello,

Sorry to bring this to the list, as I'm sure that instructions for this
are posted *somewhere*, but I can seem to find them.

We are running Qmail with tcpserver, and would like to duplicate the
sendmail feature of denying connections from mail servers which do not
have DNS setup correctly for them. We are not so concerned with how a
server IDs itself, (HELO) just as long as forward and reverse DNS for
their hostname/IP matches.

The last requirement is that we want to deny these connections with an
error message. Denying with tcpserver directly just causes the remote host
to contact the next highest preference MX server.

Can anyone point me in teh direction of some good documentation on this?

My inclanation at this point is to run tcpserver with -p and have it call
a program that will deny the connection if $TCPREMOTEHOST is not set.

Thanks for your time.

Does the user "info" exist on your system?

If it does, and you haven't changed Qmail's default dash-extension value,
Qmail will be looking for ~info/.qmail-world for delivery instructions for
this address.

You can change the dashext character to something like '='. Or you can
create the .qmail-world file in the ~user directory.

Re: rcpt/backup mx based on IP ?

2000-12-19 Thread Jamin A. Brown

Sendmail has a switch to turn this on, which is off by default...

Reason being, anyone can point their domain's MX records to your server
and then freely send mail to/through it.

I'm curious to know if qmail starts having performance issues at higher
numbers of rcpthosts. We're currently running about 1800 domains, most of
them in the morercpthosts file.

I personally prefer having more control through these files. Easier to
deny access to someone who leaves or whose server gets compromised.

Re: Redirect addresses

2000-12-19 Thread Jamin A. Brown

Ari,

As appears to be normal in qmail, there are a few ways to do this.

You could setup the smtproutes file with an entry like:

domain.com.br:intranet.domain.com.br


Or, you could setup an entry in virtualdomains:

domain.com.br:alias-domain_com

And create the file

~alias/.qmail-domain_com-default

which would contain:

|forward ${DEFAULT}@intranet.domain.com.br


Hope that helps.

It seems that the problem may have been related to the number of open
files that BSD/OS allows by default. After increasing this number by quite
a bit, qmail-send is finally showing us approach our concurrency limits.

Long Local Delivery Delays

2000-11-13 Thread Jamin A. Brown

Hello,

We have just completed migrating a sendmail installation for roughly 15000
users to qmail. After doing so, we are experiencing longish delays on the
delivery of incoming messages.

We currently have qmail-smtpd starting from tcpserver using:

#!/bin/sh
QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaild`
NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild`
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 200 \
 /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -c 512 -v -pR -x /usr/local/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb \
 -u $QMAILDUID -g $NOFILESGID 0 smtp \
 /usr/local/bin/rblsmtpd -b -r \
 "relays.mail-abuse.org:Open relay problem - see
 <http://www.mail-abuse.org/cgi-bin/nph-rss?%IP%>" \
 -r dialups.mail-abuse.org \
 -r rbl.maps.vix.com \
 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1

And logging using:

#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/setuidgid qmaill /usr/local/bin/multilog t s250
/var/log/qmail/qmail-smtpd


I have increased our conncurrencylocal and concurrencyremote to 50 each.
The qmail-send log we have seems to indicate that we aren't coming close
to this limit:

@40003a105ba216072edc status: local 1/50 remote 3/50
@40003a105ba21626288c end msg 695835

[EMAIL PROTECTED]
@40003a105ba21ddd7454 status: local 1/50 remote 4/50


Our architecture is setup as:

mx0.gwi.net - Incoming server, BDS/OS, Dual PIII 550, 256 MB RAM. This
server writes incoming mail to a NetApp NFS server. Unfortunately also
running qmail-pop3d right now for some of our customers. Will be disabling
this ASAP.
pop0.gwi.net - POP server. (Same hardware). Just running qmail-pop3d and
reading from the NetApp.

The delay seems to occur from when mx0 accepts the message to when mx0
writes it to the user's Maildir. My guess would be that the queue is not
being processed fast enough.

We are NOT yet using the big-todo patch at this time.

We are seeing delays of up to a couple hours on messages, so any
assistance or pointers in the right direction would be appreciated.

If you would be so kind as to CC any responses to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (to
get to me directly rather than through the qmail server) it would be
appreciated.

Possible to Log usernames with qmail-pop3d?

2000-11-09 Thread Jamin A. Brown

Hello,

Is it possible to write the username and hopefully connection status
(good, password rejected, etc.) of any connections to qmail-pop3d through
tcpserver?

We are starting tcpserver with:

#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R 0 pop3 \
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup aeryn.gwi.net \
/usr/local/bin/checkpassword \
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 2>&1

And using the daemontools logger:

#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/setuidgid qmaill /usr/local/bin/multilog t s250
/var/log/qmail/qmail-pop3d


Thanks for any input.

Sendmail %1 Virtual Aliases -> Qmail?

2000-11-07 Thread Jamin A. Brown

Hello Everyone,

I am in the progress of migrating a fairly large sendmail system to qmail.
One of the problems I have run into is the differences in when aliases are
resolved by the two programs. I have installed and am planning on using
the fastforward program with qmail.

The main issues are these:

1.) We have over 1000 virtualdomains that we handle mail for.

2.) Due in part to bad planning, we allow defaulting delivery
of those domains to the localdomain.

e.g. If we host custdomain.com, we allow mail to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] to delivery to the same [EMAIL PROTECTED]

3.) With a small number of our virtualdomains, we have a setup
that forwards [EMAIL PROTECTED] to the same
[EMAIL PROTECTED] using the sendmail virtusertable format
@domain1.com[EMAIL PROTECTED]


The questions are:

1.) Is it possible to have the fastforward alias file read
*before* the local user check, AND have it delivery
to the local user if there is no alias?

2.) Using the fastforward aliases file, is there an equivilant
to the @domain1.com[EMAIL PROTECTED] style of aliasing?

I am aware that using qmail's .qmail file aliasing is it possible to do
the defaulting aliasing through a .qmail-default file containing:

${DEFAULT}@gwi.net

However, to make it easier on our support department, having aliasing act
exactly the same as in sendmail would be much preferrable.


Thank you for your time.
