Online monitor
Hi, Is there some tool to check online qmail log, like messages arriving and going out with output to browser? Thanks, Ari
Re: About processes
I've fixed up the tcpserver, thanks! So each qmail-remote is a message going out and each qmail-smtpd without tcpserver is a message arriving. Thanks, Ari
About processes
Hi, ps ax | grep qmail-remote shows the running processes that are currently sending message, each process is a message been sent, ok? ps ax | grep qmail-smtpd show the running processes that are currently arriving, right? But it shows: 1016 ?S 4:30 /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -H -uQMAILDUID -gNOFILESGID 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 15498 ?S 0:44 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 19168 ?S 0:00 /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -H -uQMAILDUID -gNOFILESGID 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd How many messages are arriving? 1, 2 or 3?

Apply one patch and check the messages, backup qmail-smtpd.c and apply the other, check the message also. Apply one and then the other, if no strange messages, it's ok.

My mail server: dd002.domain.com (200.1.1.2) eth0 mail.domain.com --> me (200.1.1.21) eth0:0 pop3.domain.com and smtp.domain.com alias to mail.domain.com My web server: dd001.domain.com (200.1.1.1) eth0 www.domain.com (200.1.1.10) eth0:0 www2.domain.com (200.1.1.11) eth0:1 --> virtual server (customers' domains) ftp.domain.com (200.1.1.12) eth0:2 Let's say I want to change www.domain.com to other machine, I don't need to change it IP.

Remove a message
Hi,
The qmail is working very well.
I'm trying to remove a message doing the following:
Script to start send:
supervise /var/qmail/supervise/send | \
setuidgid qmaill tai64n | setuidgid qmaill tai64nlocal | \
setuidgid qmaill multilog s100 n5 /var/qmail/log/send &
Script to stop:
svc -dx /var/qmail/supervise/send
Steps:
1) stop the send
2) ps ax | grep remote ==> to see the messages that are currently being sent
2.5) kill with -15 the qmail-remote process of the message(s) I want to
cancel
3) tail -f /var/qmail/log/send/current ==> until I see "exiting..."
4) qmail-qread to see the number of messages I want to kill
5) cd /var/qmail/queue
find . -name NUMBER -exec rm -f {} \;
6) start the send again
Sometimes I see the following error:
multilog: fatal: unable to switch to current directory: access denied
At this time, the queue is running but no log, then I kill the send again
and try again to start it, sometimes it works, but sometimes the error is
still there...
How can I stop this error? Is the way I'm trying to delete message ok?
Thanks,
Ari

Re: [qmail] Unix as it should be
Most of the programs which run as root don't need to even with their current design. All it would take is a few 'chown's, a few configuration file edits, and you're set. Hence, many times this problem is a configuration error instilled by software vendors and distributors. Other programs must run as root to keep their current design, which is indeed unacceptable for the most part. Personally, i believe that running files as their own separate user is not good enough; if at all possible, services should be in their own chroot()'ed environment. There is no excuse for named to run either as root or system-wide. There is no excuse for database servers to run either as root or system-wide. Most of these programs which are commonly used by crackers to fully compromise systems can be reasonably secured as-is, without even doing a major rewrite (though a major rewrite would obviously be the best COA for the program authors if they wish to provide real security). Why are so many distributors so oblivious to this? Hell, i've replaced about 70% of the total software on our solaris machines (including all setuid files, and virtually all daemons), and modified most of the replacements. Redhat distributions aren't really any better (which is only one reason i refuse to work with a redhat distribution of linux) Sigh... it really is so hard to find good software these days ari [EMAIL PROTECTED] said this stuff: > Pavel Kankovsky writes: > > Damned omnipotent root.

Re: qmail-inject / env_get("USER")
There wouldn't be any security problem... since qmail-inject is not setuid,
users would have the same privileges and could do the same thing themselves if
they so desired. That was not my point.
qmail-inject is called by the sendmail wrapper. Using XMIT, qpopper calls
sendmail, or in this case, the wrapper (XMIT comes in handy for user
authentication with eudora for sending mail). qpopper sets the user to the
person logging in, and the group to mail, but it leaves the user environment
(usually the calling user would be root) untouched. You then have a user
sending mail with uid , gid mail, and USER and LOGNAME variables of
'root'. This is where my point comes into play -- qmail-inject checks
environment variables _only_, and finds root. The message is then sent out
with a return-path of [EMAIL PROTECTED], and any bounced messages are sent to
root, and _not_ to the actual sender. Some broken mail clients even use the
return-path for replying to mail, ignoring the inserted "From:" header.
I have two choices in this case:
1. i can modify qpopper (again) and add a calling argument of '-f
', or change the USER variable after setuid().
2. i can modify qmail-inject to check the user itself if it finds no
QMAILUSER (and perhaps MAILUSER) variable(s).
The second option will probably help more in the long run, though the first
does certainly improve qpopper's style.
Based on some short tests, cuserid() seems to work improperly on some platforms
(i.e. irix), so getpwuid(getuid())->pw_name would be the (portable) way to go.
Again, if anyone has any serious reasons why changing this is a bad idea,
please let me know.

jbuce patch note for qmail 1.03
jbuce.diff (qmail 1.03, 12/11/98, "Birthday Edition"), as found from ftpsearch.lycos.com has a minor typo, which results in all (non-relaying) mails being allowed through, even if they're listed in badmailfrom, have no dns entry, or are incorrectly formatted. To correct the typo, change line 881 from + if (str_len(mailfrom) == 0) return 0; to + if (str_len(mailfrom.s) == 0) return 0; (initial tab inserted for clarity). Otherwise, all mails will be considered as having a null return-path, and this function (bmfcheck()) will return immediately, boding acceptance. I searched through the archives and could find nothing relating to this point. ari -- .----Ari Edelkind--.

qmail-inject / env_get("USER")
Is there any particular reason that qmail-inject uses env_get("*USER") instead
of getuid and getpwuid (or just cuserid)?
If anyone is familiar with qualcomm qpopper (2.53, at least), using POP-send
changes the UID to the proper user and the GID to mail, but leaves the
environment as root's. Under sendmail this is not a problem, but since
qmail-inject uses the environment alone, all messages end up with a return-path
of root.
If no one has a good reason that i should leave it alone, please let me know.

It's possible this is an amendment, but i am inclined to believe otherwise, as
other amendments are stated as such:
[4.1.3.4]
The description of the 110 reply on pp. 40-41 of RFC-959 is
incorrect; the correct description is as follows.
[4.2.2.2]
The Length field of a UDP header is incorrectly defined; it
includes the UDP header length (8).
[5.2.14]
The military time zones are specified incorrectly in RFC-822:
they count the wrong way from UT (the signs are reversed).
... whereas in this case, the reader is simply referred to RFC 821. It may be
argued that the errors stated are of a different nature, but the amendments of
a similar nature are generally given individual discussions. To me, it seems
like either an erroneous statement or an oversight from discussion. Perhaps
the statement just lacks the clarity i would like. Either way, i yield; i see
this discussion going only in circles.

If you wish, i will forward you some of what my users complain about. We keep
a rather hefty spam-blocking list, but these are unstoppable with our current
anti-spam implementation (using the RBL will keep some legitimate mail from
us). About 5% of our spam yields a null return-path.

Re: [qmail] Re: "<>" bogus mail from??
Actually, i haven't. Section 5.2.9 states the following: An empty reverse path MUST be supported. I clearly stated that this was not in dispute. Section 5.3.3 does indeed state that the null return-path _is_ required for use, however references itself with section 3.6 of RFC 821, which is the actual specification of the SMTP protocol. Section 3.6 of RFC 821, however, does _not_ state that the null return-path is required when sending bounces. It clearly states that the null return-path is _one_ option: One way to prevent loops in error reporting is to specify a null reverse-path in the MAIL command of a notification message. When such a message is relayed it is permissible to leave the reverse-path null. I stand by my original statement. ari [EMAIL PROTECTED] said this stuff: > You've misread the spelling of 'MUST' in sections 5.2.9 and 5.3.3 of > RFC 1123. > > -- Jeff Hayward > > On Mon, 7 Feb 2000, ari wrote: > > Of what i remember from RFC 821, the null reverse-path is _not_ required, but > is rather mentioned as "one way" to get around the "bounce of a bounce" > problem. > > Yes, all mailers should allow this, even though many spammers abuse it.

Re: "<>" bogus mail from??
Of what i remember from RFC 821, the null reverse-path is _not_ required, but is rather mentioned as "one way" to get around the "bounce of a bounce" problem. Yes, all mailers should allow this, even though many spammers abuse it. True, rejecting it can be considered breaking RFC-compliance. But it is by no means required for use. Or maybe i'm nitpicking. ari > On Tue, Feb 01, 2000 at 12:25:01PM -0600, Ronny Haryanto wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I'm just wondering if > > > > MAIL FROM: <> > > > > in SMTP session is valid or not?

More about later delivery
Hi, I'm using tcpserver and supervise to run qmail. I'm using Nick Leverton's patch to qmail-send to suspend remotedelivery. So I write a file called holdremote with value 1 then I HUP qmail-send, causing the remote queue to be held, so I can stop qmail-send immediately (svc -dx ...). I don't need to wait from pending queue to be sent, because if I stop qmail-send process with pending delivery, the supervised qmail-send process stays in "want down" status until the pending message is totally delivered. If I want to cancel a message: 1) echo 1 > /var/qmail/control/holdremote 2) HUP on qmail-send process 3) qmail-read to check the queue and see the message number (nnn) 4) qmHandle -dnnn to delete the message (I've patched qmHandle to stop and start qmail-send with supervise) 5) echo 0 > /var/qmail/control/holdremote 6) HUP on qmail-send process The message is canceled and the remote delivery is normal, but I would like to resend it during the night, how can I do this?

Re: How to send a message after
David, You are totally right: > What ari appears to me to be asking for is a way to derail large e-mails > into a secondary queue: He wants email to flow 24/z for little memos, > but attachments above a threshold must wait until off-peak. I'm using the qmail-hold patch, so I can create a control/holdremote (with 1), send HUP the qmail-send and the queue is paused. But at this time, all messages will be stopped. I would like to stop only the big one. Is it safetty to remove a message with this patch and when the queue is stopped? How do I return this message to the queue at 11pm for example? In december, users love to send Christmas cards, most of them very big attachments and addressed to more than one friend at the same time But other user needs to send a very important message, not so big, and his message will delay!!!

How to send a message after

More detailed pop log
Hi,
I've already posted a message with this subject, but I'm still trying to
fix my problem.
I want to use the normal /etc/passwd file to authenticate users and more
detailed log in the
pop log.
I'm runing pop server with:
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup \
mail.drmail.com.br /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir \
2>&1 | /usr/local/bin/tai64n | /usr/local/bin/tai64nlocal | \
/usr/local/bin/setuidgid qmaill /usr/local/bin/multilog /var/qmail/log/pop &
I've tried Paul Greg's checkpoppasswd, but it only works with
alternative password file (/var/qmail/users/poppasswd).
I don't want to log the password, I only want more then the IP address
and date for who is trying to log. I want ther username and if success or
not.
Could someone help me?
Best regards,
Ari
How to log the qmail-pop3d connection

I would like to check if the user deleted the message, had bad password and any commands in POP server. Best regards, Ari

I really need help!!!
Hi, I've read live with qmail, The qmail newbie's guide to relaying (http://www.palomine.net/qmail/relaying.html) and others documentations on qmail.org, but I'm really lost. I need to install qmail on a webhosting environment, where POP and SMTP users comes from various ISP. I don't think a good ideia to use opem-stmp3 (from newbie's guide), because 90% of the users use outlook express and the documentation tells I will have problem to send messages (outlook first sends than reads). I need to setup my qmail: - if the sender (return address and from address) is @anydomain.com of my virtuals (rcphosts and virtualdomains) - never mind the IP address (unless this IP address is specified like bad IP) - OK - even the user has its right password to authenticate using pop and try to use an from address like (@yahoo.com) - NOK - when the message is reject by the qmail (as this above) the user may see the error mensage on sending - like WE DON'T RELAY. I'm using tcpserver to start qmail-send and qmail-pop3. How do I setup my qmail? Sorry if this is a basic question, but I'm really confused. Best regards, Ari

Hello All, This is my first message to the list. I'm new with qmail and I think qmail is the best!!! Is it possible to authenticate user in MySQL database? Best regards, Ari

I have one subdomain with something like this: - primary mail server, has lower MX records, users, pop, imap, etc. - secondary mail server, higher MX records, no users, no pop, etc. If the primary mail server goes down, messages are queued on the backup server. This is accomplished by making the backup server a "null client" as defined in the qmail FAQ. When the primary server comes back online after a failure, the queued messages on the backup server are delivered to the primary server. Pop users would have an interuption in service, but no lost messages. In the case of an extened outage of the primary server, you could build or fall back to a entirely different primary server by changing the MX records for your mail domain, and changing the qmail/control/smtproutes file. - Ari ------ Ari Rubenstein Unix Operations Engineer Digex, West Coast Sun Cert'd SysAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED] 408-873-4256
file names = inodes : why?

Is the inode just a handy unique number? Or are there file access speed tricks, e.g. opening files directly using inode. I would like it to be more convenient to manage the queue while mail is being delivered... :-) - Ari -- Ari Rubenstein Unix ISA Digex, West Coast 408-873-4256
