- create/delete a new entry in /var/qmail/users/mailnames to automatically
send redirect mail for [EMAIL PROTECTED] to the useraccount
- create/delete an entry in .qmail-alle (may be changed) for messages to
all users of the machine.
- create/delete a link from $HOME/Mailbox to /var/spool/mail/$USER for older
pop/imap/mail-clients
To install:
- copy somewhere, make a link from useradd.local to userdel.local
- configure userconf to execute user(add|del).local after creating/deleting

As it stands, your Maildir and its contents are owned by root. You need to chown -R mark.mark ~mark/Maildir. For your next users you should su to the user before running maildirmake. Or better do a maildirmake (as root) in /etc/skel, so new users on your system will get it automatically. During creation of a new user the ownerships will be switched afterwards.

I know the password is correct. I set up $HOME/Maildir with cur/ tmp/
new/ subdirectories and the proper permissions but i still get the same
message.
Did you setup your Maildir with maildirmake? Try to telnet to your
POP-daemon ("telnet localhost 110"), enter USER name -| PASS passw -| and
see what happens.
Did you set your MAIL-variable to $HOME/Maildir/, the complete path should
be given.

What Robert's users may be able to do (and which is IMHO more interesting) is a return receipt when the receipient has read the mail. However this is a function of the MDA, so with the receipient having NS this will work, whereas most text oriented MDAs won't. At least NS4.5 will act like this.

forwarding is BCC?
Hello, I now let deliver all mail from this list to a maildir and post it afterwards with a simple batch. Now I want to send a mail to the list out of the newsclient. I tried to simply reply and changing the to-field to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and deleting the in-replyto this will start a new thread. I tried to define an "global alias" like this: [root@picard queue]# cat /etc/qmail/alias/.qmail-qmail-liste | forward [EMAIL PROTECTED] But when I mailed to qmail-liste, the message was bounced at muncher.math.uic.edu.

Re: mail routing with qmail
On Mon, 11 Jan 1999, Russell Steffen wrote: Is there any way to set set qmail up so that it will accept all mail for somedomain.com, deliver mail for local accounts and then forward all the rest of the mail to another server? Maybe you could start by having a /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-default-file which will forward all unknown users to your Exchange-Server. Don't have the syntax, but fiddle around condredirect. The basic problem is that I don't want to move everybody (~300 accounts) at once, because I am the only admin tech support person, and I value my sanity. So, why don't you just create a text-file and make this a batch-job. If you setup a .qmail and Mailbox-file in your /etc/skel I guess this would be a job of half an hour, assuming you have the text-file. What I wanted to do was set up a qmail box to act as a relay and just queue all incoming mail and forward it to the Exchange server. Maybe by putting somedomain.com into rcpthosts, somedomain.com:exchange-server.somedomain.com into smtproutes and having the Exchange-Server as main-MX-entry in your DNS. Then as I start transitioning users and creating Unix accounts for them, their mail would then start to be delivered locally (and the rest would continue to be relayed). Then, when the last of the accounts are moved over, I can than stop the relay and decommision the Exchange server. My advice would be not to mix. Just smtproute your mails to exchange until you have set up all accounts on the unix-box. Regards Mirko -- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://sites.inka.de/picard
Re: host name re-writing?
anoah wrote: i fixed this by making DNS say that this machines fqdn is jfh.pfeiffer.edu, and made ares.pfeiffer.edu the cname instead now all is well. why do smtp mails re-write the hostname? I think you have to have a MX record pointing to both ares.pfeiffer.edu and jfh.pfeiffer.edu in your DNS, as AFAIK SMTP does have a look for the MX-entries to determine where to deliver.

Useful Envelopes
Hello yall, first I have to apologize for my envelope-test mails to this list, trying to get the explanation why mails of this list always went to postmaster (in the end this is me as well). My ISP does delivering of all mails to my domain in one single POP-box which I do poll by the help of fetchmail in multi-drop mode. Nonetheless mailing to this list was quite useful as the humble bashing (or advising ;-)) by a list member brought me to the right insight. When telneting to my POP it showed up that no envelope-information was available, so only the Header-To:-Information was available. Mailing my telneting-results to my ISP he finally had to "confess" that he forgot to restore this information (no blaming, he changed the whole system just two weeks ago and as its an association (club) all work is done there on a base of honour!), which he fixed immediately. Now I got two questions: - Which Envelope-Information do you think to be useful? - May I specify any of this information as well with QMail should I ever try to set up a POP-server of my own? Thanks a lot. Mirko -- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] surfto:http://sites.inka.de/picard

fetchmail and missing delivery-information

Re: Queueing remote deliveries at specific intervals (ala sendmail-q)?
Either you try to install the serialmail-package or just apply the holdremote patch found at the qmail-homepage, the second one to be very easy to configure. Just remove/add an /var/qmail/control/holdremote-file in your ip-up/ip-down-Skripts, give qmail-send a SIGHUP and you are gone. The advantage of the patch against serialmail is that while online mail will be automatically sent, whereas with serialmail I had to fiddle around with two different virtualdomain-files for the same intent.

Yes, the envelope sender will match the user which sent the mail. If
you need it to be something else you should use the -f switch to
qmail-inject.
Hello,
this I already knew ;-). Now: how to get the sender from the message which
alias will deliver. I could of course just start a thing like getting the
"From" from the first line of the incoming message, strip of the From and use
this as sender:

-f"$MYFROM" $(/bin/cat /etc/group | /bin/grep alle: | /bin/awk -F':' '{print
