[qmailtoaster] Forwards to gmail being seen as spam
Hi all. Hopefully this is on topic enough for the qmail list. I'm running qmail toaster and have a handful of account holders (on various virtual domains) who have their mail forwarded from their acco...@virtualdomain.com on my server to their acco...@gmail.com. This has always worked fine - I just set the forwarding in virtualdomain.com/qmailadmin/ But for the past few days I have been getting tons of bounced emails that all are connected to these accounts that forward to gmail, and I'm having a hard time figuring out exactly what is going on, and most importantly, whether I am in danger of having my whole mail server blacklisted by google. Here is a typical one below. I'm very thankful if anyone can take the time to look at what is happening here. I've replaced the real email addresses with the following fake, but hopefully clear, addresses: s...@spammer.com: replaces the spammers email address. This is constantly changing from email to email. myu...@hisdomain.com: is a legitimate user of my mail server through his own virtual domain on my server. myu...@gmail.com: is the same legitimate user's gmail account where myu...@hisdomain.com is set to forward to. my.mailserver.com: is my fake mail server domain 1.2.3.4: is my fake mail server IP 74.125.95.27: is google IP and has not been changed. Below is a typical message: Hi. This is the qmail-send program at ash.datamantic.com.

[qmailtoaster] isoqlog question...
Hi list. I have just upgraded to the latest qmailtoaster and have started looking at isoqlog in /admin-toaster/ for the first time. Can someone explain to me why I see lots of email addresses that don't actually exist on my system? For instance, if I look under 'General' and then click through to a specific year, month, and day, I will see some addresses in 'Top 100 Sender' that are not actual addresses. Some are for non existent accounts on domains that do exist on the system, and some are for domains that aren't even on my system. I'm fairly confident I'm not an open relay (and http://www.spamhelp.org/shopenrelay/ agrees I am not.) But still this has me a bit freaked out.

64 bit. clamd log looks fine, but spamd log is filled with this: warn: prefork: syswrite(6) failed, retrying... at /usr/lib/perl5/ vendor_perl/5.8.5/Mail/SpamAssassin/SpamdForkScaling.pm line 554 Looks like that's the issue.

I did what Dave suggested and emptied the /var/qmail/control/ blacklists file and then reloaded. No change. Then I tried Eric's suggestion and set my external IP address the same as SM in the tcp.smtp file and rebuilt. This allowed me to send mail without delay. So it must be something within the server. And although I am not seeing it myself, others with email accounts on the server are now reporting getting hundreds of duplicate incoming messages. Yuck. I think I might be fubar'd. On the other hand, maybe this gives someone an idea of where to look? That happens commonly when clamav (or spamassassin) takes too long processing the message or hangs. Qmail thinks the message got lost somewhere, and resends it. Then once the first message finally pops out of clam or spamassassin, it gets delivered. So does the 2nd copy that Qmail sent. Look at your clamav and spamassassin logs and see if there are any clues in there. 32 bit or 64 system? - Qmailtoaster is sponsored by Vickers Consulting Group (www.vickersconsulting.com ) Vickers Consulting Group offers Qmailtoaster support and installations.

Re: [qmailtoaster] send from remote client doesn't disconnect...
That makes sense. I can't find anything though. Here's a couple more points as a last try to see if anyone can think of anything: I was wrong about the outgoing mail being delivered immediately even though the client would hang. The mails are not delivered until the client finally shows a completed send - usually around 3 minutes per email (client show quick progress right up to completion, but then hangs at the very end.) If I telnet to port 25, do an auth login, and send mail from the command line the same thing happens. The smtp server is completely responsive up through where I say 'DATA' and type in the body of the message. But then when I type /n/r./n/r to end the DATA absolutely nothing happens for several minutes until it finally replies with '250 ok'. (Is there any way to make the smtp server more verbose here?) This same delay happens from multiple clients, multiple locations, multiple email accounts. It happens whether the recipient is on the same domain (same server) or on a remote server. But webmail can send without delay in any situation. Reverse DNS and resolving DNS are correct and trouble free. That webmail can send but remote clients cannot seems like the key. What is different in the sending process between these two? Are there checks / scans that are done for remote clients that wouldn't be done for someone logged into webmail? Thank you very much for any ideas! On Jul 20, 2009, at 1:28 PM, Eric Shubert wrote: If nothing has changed on the server and nothing changed on the clients, maybe something changed between them.

[qmailtoaster] qtp-newmodel for fresh install
Hi. I have a new CentOS 5.2 installation. I have attempted to use qtp- newmodel to do a fresh install of qmail toaster. There was a recent thread on the list asking about this although it was never resolved whether it was possible or not. I have done it. The builds failed at numerous places due to missing dependencies, but once everything needed was installed qtp-newmodel appears to have built and installed qmail toaster successfully. Very cool. My one problem is that mysql was not configured for vpopmail (no vpopmail user; no vpopmail database) so I can't add any domains. If I try to do /home/vpopmail/ bin/vadddomain I get: Error - no authentication database connection. Initial open. (obviously, since MySQL doesn't have the user/database!) Any suggestions on the best way to make the vpopmail user and database in mysql? I have another installation I could just copy by hand, but is there something I could just run that would make everything? MySQL was not running when I installed via qtp-newmodel. Would qtp- newmodel have made the database and mysql user if MySQL had been running? If so, can I just uninstall qmailtoaster and install it again with qtp-newmodel (and MySQL running this time?) If so, what is the best way to do this? I can't find anything on the wiki about uninstalling.

Re: [qmailtoaster] qtp-newmodel for fresh install
Hey thanks, that worked. I thought I had to recreate the specific tables too, but it looks like that gets taken care of for you as long as you have the user and database in MySQL. Super easy.

[qmailtoaster] No Match for argument: perl-DB_File
I've got some perl conflicts that are giving me transaction check errors when trying to upgrade with qtp-newmodel. If I exclude perl* in my rpmforge repo then qtp-newmodel runs through to completion instead of failing (although I haven't actually done the upgrade yet.) So while it doesn't fail anymore, it does complain about the following (before going on to apparently build everything successfully in the sandbox): No Match for argument: perl-DB_File No Match for argument: perl-Mail-DomainKeys No Match for argument: perl-Mail-SPF-Query No Match for argument: perl-MIME-Base64 No Match for argument: perl-Net-SMTP Nothing to do Can anyone give me an idea about the result of upgrading without these packages? - QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted http://www.vr.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Both will take a bit of time, and a copied sandbox takes considerable (2G+) disk space. Might that make it install without updating the kernal? Yes. There are no kernel modules involved with a linked or copied sandbox, only a unionfs one. I'm just always a little nervous to install new things and reboot - should I get over this? No, rebooting is very rarely necessary. Or at least should be. Sorry for my confusion. Thanks so much for any help! No problem.

But I have a lot of non-technical users and it is not possible to walk them all through changing their settings to use port 587. I need it to work on port 25. Where should I look? Thanks. Please post the result of: # cat /var/qmail/control/blacklists -- -Eric 'shubes' cat /var/qmail/control/blacklists -r zen.spamhaus.org zen.spamhaus.org is a combination of 3 other spamhaus lists (see http://spamhaus.org). The pbl list is what's probably blocking, so try: -r sbl.spamhaus.org -r xbl.spamhaus.org instead, and see if that works. That's your easiest work around. Instead of doing this, you could try installing spamdyke, which should fix you up too. Spamdyke does no blocking when a user is authenticated. I highly recommend going this route. It's really trivial to do using the script that's included in qmailtoaster-plus. -- -Eric 'shubes' That worked. Thank you! I'll look at spamdyke too. - QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted http://www.vr.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
