I don't agree when you are always so harsh to people, but I understand why you are. Is there a way to send a "welcome" message when people subscribe that tells them this in nice big CAPS LOCKS or something. Like: -- Welcome to the qmail list, a list focused on discussion and development of the qmail mailserver. The list is composed of many users, administrators, and plenty of qmail newbies. Before you jump right in and ask for some tech support (which we often hand out in truck loads) please take a couple of things into consideration: -o Please check the FAQ's at http://cr.yp.to/ for qmail. -o Please read and/or search the archives. It is rare these days to get a question that hasn't been answered. -o If you are going to post to the list, please include REAL logs, unaltered that cover the scope of your problem but aren't 2000 lines long either. -o Try to include any other information that you think might be helpful such as weird network configurations, weird upstream ISPs, etc, etc. Thanks, and welcome to the list. [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Something along those lines would be fine I would imagine. Is there already something like this? I don't remember. ;-) -davidu
RE: Return messages from postmaster
postmaster has been set as a catch-all account. If [EMAIL PROTECTED] doesn't exist, postmaster will get it.(postmaster gets *@domain.com, minus existing users) If you want it to bounce, simply turn off the catch-all for postmaster and only [EMAIL PROTECTED] email will be delivered. -davidu -Original Message-From: Angel Durán [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Sent: Monday, April 30, 2001 3:26 AMTo: QmailSubject: Return messages from postmaster Hello, I'm using vpopmail, and I have multiple domains in the same host.

Re: questions about an exploit
[Replying via webmail...could be messy] Paul, That bug if I remember right was found a little over a year ago. I believe it was patched in vpopmail quite some time ago. Please someone correct me if I am wrong as this is of the _utmost_ importance. As a side note, I had a machine attacked recenly with a pseudo-successful compromise and the only three services that could be seen outside the firewall were proftpd 2.1.0rc3 and qmail SMTP and qpop3D. (ssh was also there) Are best guess right now is that it was an attack from a user who has ssh access on the system...other then that, those three/four ports should not have been the source of the compromise -- certainly not qmail or qpop3d -- maybe proftpd. -- Just a heads up to people... -davidu > Hello everyone, > >I just came across some website stating that >qmail-pop3d + vchkpw contains a particular exploit. > > http://www.ktwo.ca/c/qmail-pop3d-vchkpw.c > > > Has this been patched already?

RE: how to send attaching in qmail using perl
I would recommend that if you have mutt installed you just use mutt from the command line, it is one for the few MUA's that can work from the command line without user intervention. read the mutt manpage. -davidu -Original Message-From: mugundhan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Sent: Monday, April 23, 2001 12:57 AMTo: qmailSubject: how to send attaching in qmail using perl hi all, iam using a perl script to send mails via qmail using qmail-inject. my code looks like this: $mailprog = "/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject"; open(QMAIL,"|$mailprog -f mugund\@intercept-india.com");print QMAIL "From: mugund\@intercept-india.com\n";print QMAIL "To: recip\@recip.com\n";print QMAIL "Subject: subject\n";print QMAIL "Content-type: text/html\n";print QMAIL "hi.this is a test\n";close(QMAIL); it works fine. now, i want to know how to make this script send attachments. iam not knowing how to send attachments using this script in perl. what are the changes which i will have to make in this script in order to send attachments. pls do give me a solution ASAP. thanks in advance.

(Read on) > I guess I can't use 2 different rules into smtproutes. > LAN machine can't get mail directly from ISP > *only* from qmail :-( You can do this: 1) Lets say you have office.company.com and you want all mail to go from the server out to smtp.isp.com except for mail destined for employees on the "office.company.com" mail server. you could do this in your /var/qmail/control/smtproutes >>>>> office.company.com:smtp.office.company.com >>>>> :smtp.isp.com This would make all mail destined for "office.company.com" go to a mail server at "smtp.office.company.com" and ALL other mail to "smtp.isp.com" Hopefully this makes sense and helps, please someone correct me if I am wrong. ;-) -davidu

RE: Pine for Maildir
Great notes on getting the newest pine working with Maildir. One thing I noticed when I set mine up: you wrote: > NOTE: Apparently, you must set inbox-path as an absolute path (which > means you can't set it to ~/Maildir because pine doesn't seem to > recognize ~/ as /home/$USER/). For me it was the opposite. "/home/$USER/Maildir" did not work whereas "~/Maildir" did -- even for root. I have no idea why it is opposite for us, but its just something to consider and "one for the archives" as you say. ;-) To make the change global for all users I added this to my /usr/local/lib/pine.conf.fixed: ##Qmail Maildir Support## inbox-path="~/Maildir/" Thanks, -davidu > - You can set inbox-path for pine globally by editing /etc/pine.conf or > you can force your users to use that inbox-path by editing > /etc/pine.conf.fixed > > > i've never used pine with imap, so i'm not sure how that works. > > Well, I've been devoting a couple of hours to understanding courier-imap > in all of its intracacies and I'd say that your method is loads simpler > yet just as reliable. > > > -tcl. > > By the way, for those of you trying to obtain a copy of the file > pine-maildir-4.33 to patch pine with, I realize Larrson's site is down > so I have an alternate copy up at > http://unix-web.triton.net/~ennui/pine-maildir-4.33 > To apply the patch, just copy the file into the directory you extracted > pine into and do `patch -p1 < pine-maildir-4.33' > > -- > Keith > Network Engineer > Triton Technologies, Inc. >
Dynamic email addresses
Hi, I have a the whole qmail+vpopmail+pop+imap+mysql+qmailadmin setup and it is all running great. One thing I would like to do however is allow users to append to their email address: for example, If my username, [EMAIL PROTECTED] was valid, I would like [EMAIL PROTECTED] to also work (or [EMAIL PROTECTED]). Kinda like a catchall for all accounts I guess. Is this possible? like creating user*@domain instead of user@domain thanks, davidu
