happy to ask else where.

The company I work at has a regular qmail install (not a toaster) with
courier-imap, squirrelmail, qmail (1.05) vpopmail, etc.  It's quite
similar to a toaster setup but it doesn't seem to have the bells and
whistles that make qmail an efficient and effective MTA.

The problem I'm having with this qmail install is that it is accepting
email from null senders and it's filling up the queue with emails 
because

it can't bounce the emails as there is no from address.

qmailctl queue shows similar output to this:

There is a rcpthosts file listing only the mailserver's domain and 
such so

it isn't being used as an open relay.  I noticed that my toaster had a
badmailfrom file with the following contained within it:

.*\ @.*
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
.*%.*

So I added this file in /var/qmail/control on the qmail instance and 
hoped

this would take care of the problem but it isn't.  Is there a certain
patch that I can install that will fix this problem or a certain file I
can add that will fix the problem I'm having?

Any advice or references to solutions would be great.

Cheers,

Jon



QMT uses CHKUSER, which will check to make sure (at SMTP time) that a 
user exists before accepting the message.  It rejects at SMTP time if 
the recipient doesn't exist, thereby eliminating the problem of a 
queue full of messages to non-existent recipients. 
http://www.interazioni.it/opensource/chkuser/


There is also a patch called validrcptto which does this same type of 
thing, but is a bit more flexible IMO. 
http://qmail.jms1.net/patches/validrcptto.cdb.shtml


Implementing either one of these solutions will help you greatly.

Re: [qmailtoaster] No one can send me messages

[dan]

i think i have solved this
the mail server have been moved for a while from a fiber connection to a
ADSL that use a modem with a strange firewall... and that firewall block my
imap, pop, smtp ports and for this reason i only was able to  receive email
from the LAN, and send only from LAN to any domain
i have change the settings on that ADSL modem and now all is ok
Thans for the quick respons

Re: [qmailtoaster] Problem sending email

[Andreas]

Hi,

I had the same problem, mails arrived 2-5 times.
In parrallel I had up to 700 spamdyke processes.
I found it is related to clamav. I cannot install the dev-version ( it
does not compile with glibc-2.4-31.1. So I disabled spam in simcontrol. 
My clamav-version is clamav-toaster-0.90.2-1.3.12.

Hope that helps

Andreas

Re: [qmailtoaster] Problem sending email

[Guillermo Villasana]

I feel the same, also I added extra logging  but I think I did something 
wrong, because I see more information in the log. Could this be a 
problem related with the antivirus? or the antispam that fails to answer 
to the client in time?


just a thought.
Best regards and thanks for all the great work.

I've no solution yet. It is rather irritating, especially when everything
else works so flawlessly. Maybe one day it'll aggravate me to the extent
that I find the problem. ;)

I've no solution yet. It is rather irritating, especially when everything
else works so flawlessly. Maybe one day it'll aggravate me to the extent
that I find the problem. ;)

Hi guys, has anyone found the solution to the problema that the server 
says that the email is not sent but it is actually sent?

Because I am having this problem more and more frequently.

Almost the same is not the same. ;)
Is there anything in the smtp log corresponding to the failure?
I would guess that you might have a dns configuration issue. You can use the
'dig' command to see what dns is reporting, e.g.:
# dig mydomain.com
# dig mydomain.com MX

The score which determines when a subject line is tagged is specified in the
/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf file as the setting named "required_hits". I
use a value of 5, although I've known people to use slightly lower values. I
recommend not going below 3.5.

The score which determines when a message is outright rejected as spam is
specified in /var/qmail/control/simcontrol with the "spam_hits" variable. I
use a value of 8, and don't have a general recommendation for this.

This would make a nice entry in the wiki faqs. Perhaps that needs a
configuration section. ;)

[qmailtoaster] Spam control :: dump the higher scored items

[Jim Shupert, Jr.]

Friends,

I have qmailtoaster-plus-0.2.10-1.3.12 installed on a CentOS4.4 machine
with simscan-toaster-1.3.1-1.3.4 ,  spamassassin-toaster-3.1.7-1.3.6

I have followed the procdure found at 
http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com/index.php/SURBL

I have never seen 1 item of Spam that was not properly marked as ***SPAM***
As I understand it , any item of mail with a score greater than 6 is marked  
***SPAM***
( i THink I read that )

so with that success I would like to  to UP the protection
maybe something like any item with a score of5 or greater is marked  
***SPAM***
and anything 6 or above  , or   12 or above is just deleted before delivery to 
clients.

So how would one do that ?  and is My thinking sound ? Is there a better way to 
do basically what i am talking about?
That is just Dump some of the ...higher scored spam?


Thanks!

jim

Re: [qmailtoaster] error update clamav

[Natalio Gatti]
