Re: [qmailtoaster] a stange problem
Getting back to the original problem (where the message was disappearing)... I can think of 2 possibilities: 1) Her self hatred rule was deleting the message, or 2) My first guess was: her client is using a POP3 interface instead of IMAP, which would delete the message on the server as soon as it was downloaded. I ran into this with 2 clients (the POP part)... the clients were setup as POP3 accidentally (as in: users didn't follow configuration instructions), then the users complained that the web interface view didn't match their home PC view. It took me almost a week of hit and miss guesses before I finally realized it was POP. Since then, after every upgrade, I still go into /var/qmail/supervise and rename pop3 and pop3-ssl to .pop3 .pop3-ssl (the DOTs make the file hidden). This effectively DISABLES the pop3 interface. (BTW: I also allow IMAP (supervise/imap4) access ONLY from the LAN -- forcing outside users to use IMAPS (supervise/imap4-ssl). But I'm admittedly paranoid! ;-)) In the hopes that this helps someone out there...

Re: [qmailtoaster] Use Qmail???
I am guessing that you have 172.25.13 programmed with a 24-bit netmask? (check your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth* files -- or the appropriate files for your distribution). A 24-bit netmask looks like: 255.255.255.0. If you're NOT specifying a netmask, then you're getting a 16-bit netmask (because of the 172 in your address). If that is the case, try specifying your tcp.smtp rule as: 172.25.:allow,RELAYCLIENT="" Hope this helps...

Re: [qmailtoaster] emails stuck in the outbox
Erik: as regards your suggestion RE antivirus, we have a corporate AV provider (F-Secure) -- so all users are using the F-Secure Client 7.0 -- and none other has this problem, saving the one user (I'll call him RL)... Also, he (RL) is using the same AV product (physically the same laptop) at both locations -- works one place, but not the other. I'm beginning to think that this may be an Outlook 2000 issue...

Given that Office 2007 Standard Upgrade is only $200, I think I'll recommend it.

Re: [qmailtoaster] local root account
You probably aren't wanting these (crontabs) in a separate "root" account anyways, so save yourself the trouble of setting up mail aliases for root... Step 1) Set your crontab to send emails to YOU (root is just a default) Place the line below near the top of your /etc/crontab file (filename may be different for some distributions -- mine is Fedora / CentOS / RedHat ES) [EMAIL PROTECTED] DON'T FORGET to make cron re-read the config file (I use a HUP signal with "pkill -HUP crond", some might restart the service) Step 2) Make sure that mail you send from the command line is formatted correctly. This usually implies making sure the following files (in /var/qmail/control) are correct: me should be your FQDN (on the Internet, not your LAN)... e.g.: mail.mydomain.com defaultdomain should be your Internet domain name (not your LAN)... e.g.: mydomain.com defaulthost should be same as me (above) plusdomain should be same as defaultdomain (above) NOTE: When I install a NEW Qmail Toaster, I always have to reset these files, as my host name is a LAN host name, not an Internet one... the toaster build scripts are smart enough to get the settings from my running system. I've got to be smart enough to know that they need to be tweaked! Step 3) Test your settings by sending a CLI mail message to yourself -- you'll have to check the log files to see if/where something went wrong. Try the command line: mail -s "Testing 123" [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null (Note: you may get a warning message that the message body is empty -- that really is OK, as it's what you asked for!) If it works, you'll receive a blank message from "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" with a Subject of "Testing 123" and nothing in the message. If it doesn't work, look at the send log (I use qmlog -- but you can also manually look in /var/log/qmail/send/current) I hope this helps!

[qmailtoaster] Domain bouncing mail, vuser says user is fine
OK... this is the 3rd time this has happened to me, and the fix I've used in the past just isn't feasible this time... I've got a domain on a qmail-toaster (I've tried migrating to qtplus, but the sandbox creation always fails because of the symbolic links and additional mounted filesystems (backup and home are on separate drives)... but that's another story)... The issue is that after running fine for a while, a domain's mysql database gets reasonably well corrupted. At current, if I do a vdominfo on the domain, it shows what I suspect is an error associated with doing signed arithmetic on an unsigned value, or vice-versa. The number of users is being reported as 2147483647 (which is 7FFF in hex). If I run vuserinfo, all the expected users show just fine, however /something/ in qmail-smtp is reporting that there are no users in the domain (all users are bouncing mail as no mailbox here by that name) -- so I suspect qmail-smtp is using the # of users value and finds it too large. I've had this problem before, but on much smaller domains. Previously, to resolve this problem, I have backed up the old mailboxes, deleted the entire domain (vdeldomain), deleted ALL of the mysql databases (rm -rf /var/lib/mysql/*), re-started mysql (to generate new base databases in /var/lib/mysql), reset the mysql default password, added the vpopmail mysql database, re-added each of the users (plus aliases, forwards, etc.) manually into the vpopmail database, verified correctness, then finally restoring the old mailbox entries. *There has to be a better way! *(With this particular domain, that'll be an all-day project!

Re: [qmailtoaster] Domain bouncing mail, vuser says user is fine -- still a problem
Thanks for the pointer to the tool, Phil... Unfortunately, it appears that the # of users bug is a symptom, not the real problem. Using navicat, I have repaired the # of users entry in the dir_control field. However, my users on this system all remain unable to receive email. (same error) I have also verified (to the best of my limited ability) that the remaining mysql table entries (for dir_control, and the domain) are sane by comparing their entries with another server's tables... The users are able to SEND messages just fine -- it's just their inbound mail that's bouncing. So I believe chkuser is working fine... what I next need to know is what other facility within qmail-smtp could result in this bounce message, and how can I test it to see where its failing? Thanks again in advance for any help! Dan PS: I have to admit -- I'm getting frustrated with the whole qmail-toaster idea -- being a sys-admin for decades, I'm not used to deploying systems that are magic boxes -- I like to know HOW things work (and WHY they work)... but sendmail was a BITCH (always has been), and I was impressed with what other people had said about the toaster. I'm beginning to think I should learn POSTFIX. sigh at least then, when things broke, I'd have some better ideas about where to look and what to tweak! hopefully, someone will show me a DUH item that will restore my faith in the qmail-toaster idea Daniel McAllister, President IT4SOHO, LLC 2171 Wrens Way Clearwater, FL 33764 877-IT4SOHO: Toll Free 727-647-7646 In Pinellas 813-464-2093 In Hillsborough 727-507-9435 Fax Only When did you do your last backup?

Re: [qmailtoaster] Domain bouncing mail, vuser says user is fine -- still a problem
Jake... I DO have a bad habit of reading the documentation -- I use the vqadmin program solely for retrieving passwords when idiot users forget them -- usually the day after they have reset them for some odd reason. In my environment, clients purchase a server and maintenance from me. They are then able to host their own services (web, file, email, etc) on their own server in a kind of black box configuration -- I do all the maintenance, security audits, etc. for them for a monthly fee. Mail accounts (or more correctly, mailboxes) USED to be tied to User accounts -- until I switched to the toaster. A HUGE benefit, if you ask me! However, users cannot host additional domains without calling support (we haven't automated that task yet.) They can edit webpages, and completely manage their email domain (thanks to qmailadmin), but I don't even give them access to toaster-admin, much less vqadmin. When a client asks for a new domain to be hosted on their system, they submit a request via email. At that time, we add the domain to their DNS, create a space for the web pages to be hosted, create an admin account group for the new domain (who are able to edit the web pages), and lastly create the email domain (vadddomain). I actually then add a couple of items: 1) I set the postmaster account to point to MY postmaster account -- I read the postmaster mail for all domains I administer, whether on my own server or a client's 2) I create an admin user mailbox (usually the owner of the company) and set the password to something we've agreed upon earlier 3) I create webmaster and abuse aliases for my own webmaster and abuse email mailboxes (on my own domain) -- same reason as for postmaster 4) I email the client a PDF document that tells them how to log into qmailadmin on their new webpage, how to use THEIR account (not postmaster) and a brief primer on how to create each type of account (mailbox, alias, responder, and list). They can always call for additional support -- but the issues that new users bring up are usually added to our PDF document so we don't have to answer it again! Which brings me back to my current issue... this client is STILL without email this evening, and I'm looking like an idiot because I've checked everything I know how to check... Are there NO CLI diagnostics that can try to find out why (or just as importantly) WHERE qmail-smtp is failing to find the account??? regards...

I DO have a bad habit of reading the documentation -- I use the vqadmin program solely for retrieving passwords when idiot users forget them -- usually the day after they have reset them for some odd reason. I have no doubt, and hope you do read the sparse docs we've put together. The number 217-whatever is just one that I can reproduce consistently with vqadmin. If you created the domains via the CLI (and I'm assuming the values are correct at that time) and they change later That's an interesting one. Is the mysql DB on a different machine as well? I'm starting to suspect something awry with either a DB being on a different machine, or the filesystems being on a different machine. I know there was an issue with MySQL5 when it came out, and I think the end-result patch just pings the DB every so often to keep the connection alive. Before that everyone was getting cannot connect to DB messages. Most clients have just the one server (most are dual-core Opterons, some dual-CPU/dual-core (4 total cores) Opterons -- most are spec'd to 2GB RAM per core). Those that have multiple servers have added an MS Windoze Server 2000 or 2003 SBS. Even in those instances, the MySQL remains on the Linux server. (My QMail Toasters are running on a Fedora Core 5 derivative -- loads of my own customizations that allow me to sell the server as a service, and remotely administer the system as if it is just 1 instance of the same server over and over again. (Keeps me sane). When a client asks for a new domain to be hosted on their system, they submit a request via email. At that time, we add the domain to their DNS, create a space for the web pages to be hosted, create an admin account group for the new domain (who are able to edit the web pages), and lastly create the email domain (vadddomain). If you're PHP savvy this could be scripted. I have a bash script I use to create new domains for my clients. It asks for the name, number of mailboxes, quota, etc. and then creates it for me. I'm an old-time UNIX guy -- I actually do all those steps in a custom-built BASH script. As such, I'm inclined to leave it as-is now. Make clients call in to add domains so I have more hands-on with them. I actually then add a couple of items: 1) I set the postmaster account to point to MY postmaster account -- I read the postmaster mail for all domains I administer, whether on my own server or a client's 2) I create an admin user mailbox (usually the owner of the company) and set the password to something we've agreed upon earlier 3) I create webmaster and abuse aliases for my own webmaster and abuse email mailboxes (on my own domain) -- same reason as for postmaster 4) I email the client a PDF document that tells them how to log into qmailadmin on their new webpage, how to use THEIR account (not postmaster) and a brief primer on how to create each type of account (mailbox, alias, responder, and list). They can always call for additional support -- but the issues that new users bring up are usually added to our PDF document so we don't have to answer it again! Good ideas. I leave it up to the clients for their bounce messages and what-not. 'Course I also set up and maintain their in-house networks, networks in other states to connect back to the home office, VoIP phone systems, I also do custom projects (http://thebuildercam.com/ as an example, which I built from the ground up in my garage), etc., so I don't feel guilty watching over their stuff as much. My biggest problem right now is AOL. They recently changed their servers, and I chase phantom-bounces all the time for 1 client who checks the mail server for me - 50 times a day. 2 weekends ago he only got 50 emails on a Sunday and was sending me text messages to my phone because he said the email server was broke. He normally averages 150-200 messages a day and figured that 100 or so had gotten lost somewhere. It was just a light day. He didn't know of any emails that actually bounced, but he figured there had to be some. sigh AOL is a pain -- but that's their history! Why run ON the Internet when you can build your own, internally housed, completely customized, uniq Internet all right here! That way you're not hampered by anything like /standards!/ (I think they thought they could out-Microsoft Microsoft -- you know: The E3 Strategy - Embrace, Extend, Exterminate! :-) I also offer a broad range of programs, mostly tailored to small to mid-sized businesses, and specializing in non-centric environments (lots of VPN clients, VoIP phone systems that allow users to roam across the world and still make and receive local calls from the Main Office and the like) all needing high availability and high data security.

Yes, all users are bouncing... I have opened the MySQL tables in navicat and they look identical to other domains (on other servers) that DO work.

Re: [qmailtoaster] domains were created w GUI not CLI
First rule of computing... (especially software engineering): If it works... DON'T try to fix it! As a former software engineer and manager (spent first 8 years of my career at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station writing Range Safety real-time missile tracking code) I can tell you from experience that this is a HARD lesson to learn! Software updates should be applied ONLY if: - You need the new functionality - Your old software isn't working - You are applying a security patch that fixes a known vulnerability Software updates should NOT be applied if: - The system is working fine as-is - The only reason you want to upgrade is to be at the latest release Hence, the reason my high availability servers are still based off of a Fedora Core 5 install (lots of customization -- but that's where we started). Could I upgrade to FC6 or Fedora7? Sure... but the upgrades are primarily in the GUI -- which I don't even install on servers! If it ain't broke (and FC5 is working great for me) then don't fix it!

Re: [qmailtoaster] Vmoddomlimits help/clarification
Helmut... I cannot speak for the programmers of vpopmail, but it is common for 0 to be used for the no limit value when populating a field like a Quota value So... what that means is that your vmoddomlimits output correctly shows that there is no limit for your domain. NOTE: If you really wanted to make the domain have a zero limit, you would need to set the value to 1 -- a 1MB limit is effectively always over quota. I hope this helps...

Re: [qmailtoaster] Vmoddomlimits help/clarification
Halmut... Actually, my point was that I had noted previously that the NOQUOTA entry was being stored in the database as 0 By forcing you to type the value NOQUOTA to enter a 0 into the field, you are hoping to make sure that the user is not of the opinion that 0 means disabled. For example, in QMAILADMIN, you can stop users from using or creating mail lists by limiting the field to 0. I'm not sure how to make it unlimited -- so my add-domain script allows up to 1000 of them. (This is probably an example of where -1 is used, but I don't believe that -1 is recognized as valid in the QMAILADMIN tool. Probably ESPECIALLY because the 0 value has different meanings in different places, the tool requires you to make a NOQUOTA entry in order to force a 0 value into the database. (In reality, the database probably does not allow for a test entry in that field!) The end result of this is, if you're using the CLI, then I don't think you can say NOQUOTA to the vdominfo or vmoddomlimits programs. So, say 0 for the quota values, and you GET a NOQUOTA. I'll check this out later today when I get some time.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Upcoming release of QMT-ISO 1.3.1
Jake... Just a quick note... for NTP, there are 4 pools of PUBLIC ntp servers (that is, the DNS name will resolve to a dozen or more addresses) for the US alone. Set your NTP servers to include any or all of the following: 0.us.pool.ntp.org 1.us.pool.ntp.org 2.us.pool.ntp.org 3.us.pool.ntp.org This way, your own time server doesn't have to be public. I've got a new/used (new to me) little Dell 1U server I'm planning to use your QMTISO on as soon as you release the new version. One last quick question -- wasn't there some discussion of some kind of different SPAM protection bantered about recently? Can you fill me in on that proposal?

Re: [qmailtoaster] Is 64BIT OS reliable and fast or not needed?
In response to the question about 64-bit Linux versions stability... I have been running Qmail-Toaster (no plus, not ISO) on Fedora Core 5 for more than a year. The problems I have encountered have been primarily operator error and poor configuration choices (in other words, my own damned fault -- as much as I loathe to admit it). I do still have some concerns about running Qmail in general -- primarily because I don't like black boxes and I don't yet have any kind of reasonable understanding of the processing path used in Qmail. But that's MY problem, not Qmail's! I need more time to study the Qmail part of the system, but work pays money study does not (yet!). The only time I have had ANY problem with this system (in general) was when my wife wanted me to make a QuickTime MOV file playable on a DVD: the video codecs were not written for the 64-bit version, and I would up running a 32-bit Fedora Core 7 in VM. What a pain that was -- just for a video! In addition to the Qmail Toaster (with about 15 domains), the same system also runs an Apache Web Server (for about 10 domains), both ISC BIND DHCP services, and SAMBA (as a PDC). I'd call it as stable as a ROCK! There are two caveats: 1) I do Linux and general Unix consulting for my business, so some of the minor issues (like turning off services that FC5 wanted to run out of the box, or configuring SAMBA as a PDC) are things I can do far more easily than the average admin, and 2) I don't configure my systems with the GUI -- there are no X-Windows at all on my servers! So if you're looking for GUI experience on a 64-bit system, I am not a reasonable case study. I hope you find the information here useful... or someone else does, at least!

[qmailtoaster] Problem with backup Toaster
OK... so maybe I'm just too smart for myself... I've got several toaster's installed around my area (on managed Linux servers). I setup MY main toaster to be a backup mail server for all of my other managed servers, then use one of my client's systems (with their permission, of course) as a backup to my own server. To accomplish this, I setup the DNS to resolve MX records as such: @ MX 10 mail.domain.com. @ MX 20 mail2.backupdomain.com. Then, in the backup toaster I make 2 manual entries: a) I add the domain that is being backed up to the /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts file, and b) I add an entry in /var/qmail/control/smtproutes to FORCE the backed-up domain to deliver to the main mail server. Now here's my problem: - my backup toasters are sometimes looping messages, which results in a failure message being sent back to the sender. Anyone got any suggestions? Did I miss something??

Re: [qmailtoaster] Problems with SPAMDYKE
Sam, et. al. I would say that to get the best results out of SPAMDYKE, you DEFINITELY want *IT* to handle the TLS. My reasoning is 2-fold: 1) I have an average of 15% of incoming SPAM that is attaching with TLS (I thought this was odd, but apparently not) 2) I require TLS for my outbound mail (from my clients) and THEY TOO can be sources of SPAM. I'd like SPAMDYKE to equally fight inbound AND outbound SPAM! Just my thoughts. They were free to you, so take them at their face value. Daniel McAllister, President IT4SOHO, LLC Take my advice... I won't be using it today! Sam Clippinger wrote: Actually, enabling TLS in spamdyke is the best solution. When spamdyke handles the TLS, the remote server can't tell the difference -- if it was using TLS before, it should continue to do so. However, because spamdyke decrypts the traffic, it can enable all of its filters (including graylisting, recipient blacklisting, etc). If spamdyke simply passes TLS traffic through without decrypting it, most of its filters cannot operate. -- Sam Clippinger Davide Bozzelli wrote: Sam Clippinger ha scritto: OK, I should be able to duplicate that setup to see if I can reproduce your error. It may be a little while before I have the time, however. In the meantime, can you try enabling TLS support in spamdyke to see if this error persists? Inside spamdyke, TLS passthrough is handled differently than TLS decoding. If this is a spamdyke bug, you may be able to work around it. Enabling TLS support will also allow all of spamdyke's filters to function, including graylisting. To enable TLS, you'll need to compile spamdyke with TLS support and use the tls-certificate-file directive in the configuration file. Your TLS certificate is probably located at: /var/qmail/control/servercert.pem -- Sam Clippinger I can confirm this bug, i've have the exact problems with a qmail patched with jms combined patch that sends mail to a qmailtoaster with spamdyke enabled without tls. By enabling tls in spamdyke the problem went down, but it's not the correct way of work, cause the source mta don't do any tls handshake.

Re: [qmailtoaster] can't send test message to myself
Cameron: If you are using SpamDyke, or another anti-spam, you may need to create a PTR record for your DNS: that is, make the Internet (Public) IP Address of your server reverse-resolve to something like bstastjohns.com (or, if you ONLY do mail on that IP Address, mail.bstastjohns.com -- I prefer the former). The reason is that one commonly used anti-spam technique used today is a check for a valid reverse-dns entry. NOTE that, unless your IP address is a Register.com IP address (e.g.: they are your hosting company for your server), you'll need to contact your ISP to make this PTR entry! The pathway for resolving an IP address's PTR entry goes through your ISP, not your domain name. For now, I suggest removing any spam-blocking making sure your ports are open (no iptables active, if necessary, ports forwarded through firewall/router). Hope this helps!

Re: [qmailtoaster] can't send test message to myself
OK... this got me thinking... what are we overlooking Are you sure your mail server (from whom you're trying to send a test message) is using DNS correctly? (not serving... USING) Check your /etc/resolv.conf file... is should look like this: search mylocaldomain.name nameserver 192.168.0.2 NOTE: the IP address should be your own... just to be sure, you could also use 127.0.0.1 Just because your system is a DNS server, doesn't mean you definitely want it (the DNS server) to use itself as the server... you can force your server to get outside resolutions by using an outside DNS server... E.g.: search mylocaldomain.name nameserver 4.2.2.2 (The 4.2.2.2 address is a Verizon DNS server that is open to requests -- even from non-Verizon IP addresses. It'll also respond to a PING, so that's an easy IP address to file away in your limited mind-space!) I hope this helps...

Re: [qmailtoaster] Spamdyke Errors
Check the status of your /var filesystem, as well as whatever filesystem contains your /tmp directory (my /tmp links to /var/tmp, so for me it's the same filesystem). I eventually had to write a script that deleted old mail log files, because I found my /var filesystem (only 1GB to begin with) was filling up on some client's systems (those, like mine, with relatively heavy mail flow). Hope this helps!

[qmailtoaster] New Toaster SSL problem

Re: [qmailtoaster] How to add spf on qmailtoaster...
SPF is compiled into and enabled by default in the QMail Toaster. You can control the behavior of the SPF function with the numeric value in the file /var/qmail/control/spfbehavior. The default value is 3, which is to say that: a) if a domain uses SPF (and you SHOULD), then the SPF rules will be enforced b) if a domain does NOT use SPF, then no blocking will occur. A complete description of the spfbehavior levels is here: http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com/index.php/Spfbehavior Eventually (when someone decides SPF should be required -- whomever someone is, I don't know), the number we put in there will climb to a 4 or 5. But for now, the agreed upon best use level is the 3 that the toaster puts in there as a default. (NOTE: To turn OFF SPF, just change the value to a 0). NOTE: The value in the /var/qmail/control/spfbehavior can be overwritten by the presence of an environment variable SPFBEHAVIOR (if used, it is probably being set in your tcp rules file (/etc/tcprules.d/tcp.smtp). So, if you change it but nothing happens differently (not sure if a QMail restart is required when it changes), then look for the ENV variable. Another NOTE (and I think this may help someone who a few days ago was talking about changing the tcp.smtp file and the changes not working)... if you change the contents of /etc/tcprules.d (including the tcp.smtp file), you must RE-COMPILE the files to have them take effect.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Can I use QMT as a Spam Killer
I have implemented this, using QMT as a front-end filter for an Exchange Server... It's actually simple... a) Install QMT -- but do NOT add ANY domains (much less users) b) Add your domain to the /var/qmail/contol/rcpthosts file, eg: mymaildomain.com c) Add the address of your exchange server to the file /var/qmail/control/smtproutes, eg: mymaildomain.com:10.1.1.50 NOTE: In my experience, it was a worthless exercise to try to route outbound mail through the toaster as well... let exchange deliver the outbound mail, but QMail sit in front of Exchange on the inbound side. In other words, Exchange should be sitting behind a firewall (or NAT router), and the inbound mail ports (namely 25) should be directed to your QMT system, NOT the Exchange system.

Re: [qmailtoaster] How to add spf on qmailtoaster...
OK... I think we have a disconnect here... there is no greylisting with SPF -- if you're being blocked by SPF, change your DNS record to indicate that you're SPF an approved sender. If you're looking at greylisting, you're probably talking about spamdyke, or another spam filter -- but not SPF. (the log file you show below confirms you're using spamdyke) For a better understanding of SPF, read on at http://www.openspf.org/Introduction For a better look at SpamDyke, see http://www.spamdyke.org/ or, specifically http://www.spamdyke.org/documentation/README.html#GRAYLISTS for how to use greylisting in SPAMDYKE.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Can I use QMT as a Spam Killer
! So, regardless of the behavior of the end-user MTA, any back-splash would be directed to the Internet, not back to the filter-MTA (our QMail or sendmail server). Ironically the rationale for DROPPING vs. BOUNCING mail addressed to non-existent mailboxes is because of SPAM issues... SPAM producers long-ago figured out how to address harvest from mail servers that bounce erroneous addresses. Messages that DON'T bounce from said poorly configured servers are then SOLD as confirmed, valid user addresses to other spammers -- thus helping you, the poor novice mail administrator, get the word out that you are ill-equipped to prevent SPAM, and thus increasing the amount of SPAM your soon-to-be-pitied end-users receive exponentially! FINALLY, if you take into consideration the original poster, (Mike?), who had difficulty in getting a QMT setup and working, and so abandoned that as an end-user MTA, the idea that using a sendmail/mimedefang approach would work better seems to ignore his admitted limitations (no offense, Mike!). Recall how I mentioned above that I used to TEACH a 4-day course in sendmail Administration! I will freely admit that, after 4 full action-packed days, our students were STILL not fully-ready-for-prime-time sendmail administrators (but they COULD do some fancy stuff in sendmail -- certainly enough to get them in REAL trouble!) However, that being said, I would doubt that it would take more than a day, perhaps stretched into 2, to teach the same capabilities in QMT. Naturally, one of the REASONS is that sendmail is infinitely more configurable than QMT -- but it is also infinitely more COMPLEX than QMT -- which is why I would NOT recommend a sendmail/mimedefang configuration to the original poster. At least not without professional Linux Admin help! sendmail has its place -- and I still administer ONE sendmail site. But when you consider that I administer well over 100 email domains on more than 30 systems -- I have to say that, in my opinion, QMT is to mail administration what XWindows was to making *nix an end-user friendly system! (That is, it makes things MUCH easier than the traditional guru-friendly *nix approach!) These are just my thoughts and opinions, and although I named James herein, I offer him no ill-will. I simply disagree with his advise on purely technical grounds.

I use sendmail and mimedefang here at work and I have way more control than qmail-toaster could ever give us for a front-end to exchange, as qmail-toaster is really built more for backend storage of multi-domains. You can get much better performance on a spamassassin relay using a different MTA like sendmail or exim/postfix along with procmail/mimedefang etc...

Re: [qmailtoaster] dropping failed addresses
If you're using QMT, then you have the qmailadmin web interface:
- Login as an admin user (like postmaster), then open the Email
Accounts link
At the top of the window you'll see your current setting (IMHO, it
should show: *CatchAll: Deleted*)
Along the bottom of the page, you'll see links for setting catchall
to deleted/bounced/account:
Deleted means invalid addresses are deleted
Bounced means you report back to the sender that you couldn't
deliver the mail because there was no user (mailbox) by that name
Account will ask you for the name of an account where you'll store
all that crap
(Aside: I had a user that was a REAL pain in my backside that I once
assigned as the catchall account -- just being mean on my part!)
You can also do this on the command line (naturally). The control file
is actually located in
*/home/vpopmail/domains/YOURDOMAIN/.qmail-default*
The toaster-default is that the entry looks like:
*| /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox *(note: those
are two single-quote characters, not a single double-quote character)
Sinply change the bounce-no-mailbox to delete so the line looks like
*| /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' delete*
BTW: This is /the/ interface description of how QMail uses the vpopmail
package to control mail delivery!
I hope this helps. someone!

Re: [qmailtoaster] Clamav is OUTDATED.
OOPS! Andreas is correct while my instructions included the building of the rpm, it did NOT include the installation of said re-built RPM! In truth, I pulled the command lines from my own custom updater script (I haven't shared it because I am an atypical sysadmin -- I believe much more strongly than most: if it ain't broke, don't fix it -- so my update script checks the devel site for new releases gives me an interactive prompt on whether or not to install the update.

Re: [qmailtoaster] server overload
Just to be sure... the option (which is domain specific) is DELETE (not DROP). The file is: /home/vpopmail/domains/YOUR DOMAIN HERE/.qmail-default and the entry should read: | /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' delete NOTES: 1) that's a PIPE symbol as the 1st character (usually already there, but if you're starting from scratch on the file, the | symbol is, on most US keyboards, located with the \ symbol) 2) the 's after vdelivermail are a pair of single quotes -- that's 2 characters, not a single double-quote character My personal experience (hosting more than 20 domains on this server right now, plus more than 40 others on other QMT installations) is that my connection load lowered when I did this -- apparently address harvesters detect when everything succeeds and stop trying (knowing it's futile? maybe!). A FINAL NOTE: I believe (but am not sure) that the contents of all .qmail-default files are read by qmail-smtp at startup -- so you'll definitely need to shutdown QMT and restart it (NOT just a qmailctl restart!) once you have made the change. Personally, I have OFTEN found it necessary to manually kill many of the QMail processes (after a qmailctl stop). So, if you're not comfortable issuing a BUNCH of ps kill (or pkill) commands, I might suggest rebooting the entire server. (That being said, if you DO find yourself rebooting the system to accomplish this, you might want to consider some additional learnin about your Linux system!) I hope this helps... someone!

Re: [qmailtoaster] Drop SPAM to forwarded account
Most every SPAM filter I know will have SOME false-positives. It is inevitable, since SPAMmers are constantly trying to make their sh*t look like the REAL sh*t you WANT to receive. So, you might want to consider changing the spamassassin processing to move those messages marked as SPAM into a folder (eg: SPAM) rather than deleting them. However, if you're still getting tons of spam (just most of it marked SPAM by spamassassin, you might also want to look into SpamDyke... http://www.spamdyke.org)... I've had VERY GOOD luck with this add-on! Finally, if you're committed to deleting the messages marked as SPAM by spamassassin, then look into a pearl script called mailparser, found at: http://cisu.net/files/mailparser.pl This simple little script, when added to your smtp processing path AFTER spamassassin, will route messages marked as SPAM to /dev/null (thus, deleting them). But again, with the high probability of SOME level of false positives, I DO NOT recommend this approach. (To my kids, I relate this kind of warning to: OK mister, here's your gun -- but be careful with it! OK mister, here's your ammo -- but be VERY careful with it! Now sir, you've got a loaded gun there... PLEASE be CAREFUL! Excuse me SIR, but your gun is pointed right at your foot... PLEASE be careful! ... I'm very sorry you shot your foot off, sir.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Activate imap access for update ip list in relay table
Paolo I'm afraid I do NOT know of a way to make the QMT IMAP server (courierIMAP) do what you want (so you can do an IMAP before SMTP kind of thing) however: IMHO, you should be using authenticated smtp instead of pop-before-smtp (that is, make the users provide a username/password before sending -- it is already configured for that in the QMT, and the username/password combo is the same as for the POP or IMAP account). Users just have to check an extra box when configuring their email. Now, to get on my HIGH HORSE... Personally, I think that POP3 IMAP4 are two of the most DANGEROUS protocols we (as admins) allow on our systems! Why? Because by default, each of these sends the username/password information in cleartext over the open Internet. My systems do not accept POP3 (port 110) or IMAP4 (port 143) connections except from LAN hosts. Instead, I FORCE SSL connections (port 995 for POP, 993 for IMAP). The drawback is that you need to have a REAL SSL certificate installed, or else your users will get a warning message about an invalid certificate every time their Outlook makes an initial connection to the server. REAL SSL Certificates are a small pain (and a small price to pay) for the added security -- but I've been happy with RegisterFly's reseller price of $10/year (I charge my clients $25 to account for my extra time setting them up). NOTE: Last time I checked, RegisterFly.com had some REAL customer service problems -- so much so that they lost their ICANN certification as a Domain Registrar. That MAY have been resolved (there is no longer a warning banner on their website), but I've NEVER had a problem with an SSL certificate -- it's all automated, and other than having some proof of identity issues, I've been VERY happy with RegisterFly. (I contemplated moving ALL my domains over there, until I read about them loosing their ICANN certification!) Anyway -- if anyone knows of a cheaper way to get a valid SSL Certificate, let me know! OK... so now I'm getting OFF my HIGH HORSE! :-) Finally, if you're intimidated with the whole PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) and want help getting installing an SSL Certificate, contact me off-list and I'll be happy to help (for a normal consulting fee).

Re: [qmailtoaster] RBL config: logs and whitelist.
An additional note: If your client sends from a particular e-mail address, you /CAN/ add his domain to a whitelist in the spamdyke config. (If he's got a static IP address, it's safer to use that than the domain name). NOTE: In the below examples, I have installed the spamdyke config files at /var/qmail/control/spamdyke/ The file for listing the IP address is defined in the file: /var/qmail/control/spamdyke/spamdyke.conf and by default would be: /var/qmail/control/spamdyke/whitelist_ip The entry to unblock your client would look like: 10.20.30.40 50.60.70.80 That is, one IP per line To whitelist particular senders (my first, but less secure suggestion), ADD the following line to your spamdyke.conf file: sender-whitelist-file=/var/qmail/spamdyke/whitelist_sender Next, create the file you just referenced and add lines like the following: [EMAIL PROTECTED] qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com That is, one address per line I hope this helps someone!

Re: [qmailtoaster] a little question...
Sounds like what you really want is a TAP A TAP is an account (on the same domain or not) that receives a copy of all in outbound mail. (My guess is that you need this for regulatory or record keeping needs?). To create (turn on) a TAP, create a file in your control directory called taps. Each line of this file will specify a unique tap. (NOTE: the TAP functionality is NOT a standard part of QMail, but the patch is included in the QMT setup) For example, using QMT, you want to: # touch /var/qmail/control/taps You can TAP an individual account (I tap my kid's e-mails) or an entire domain. - To tap an individual user, use a line in the taps file that looks like: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - To tap an entire domain, use a line in the taps file that looks like: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:[EMAIL PROTECTED] NOTE: In the case of tapping an individual user, I believe you can use a destination e-mail address (mail_collector) that is on the same domain. However, in the case of tapping an entire domain, I believe you must use an outside (alternative) domain -- so that you don't create a loop! Mind you, the OTHERDOMAIN doesn't have to be a REAL Internet domain! If you create a local domain, all the mail delivery will be internal. For example, on my systems (where I host multiple domains), I have an INTERNAL domain called TAPS.LOCAL. Clients that pay for a TAP have a username of [EMAIL PROTECTED] So, as an example, suppose my client owns the domain SOMEDOMAIN.COM, and pays me to host their e-mail. They additionally want/need a TAP account. In addition to all their normal users (mail accounts, forwards, lists, etc.), they are given an account called [EMAIL PROTECTED] that collects ALL of the messages in out of the SOMEDOMAIN.COM e-mail system. (NOTE: This account gets BIG -- FAST! That's why I charge extra for a TAP account!) NOTE: My clients don't generally have POP or IMAP access to this account, as that's generally the whole POINT of a TAP: making sure you have a complete record of e-mails! If you need additional assistance (I have a few financial legal office clients who use this functionality), please feel free to contact me. I hope this helps... someone!

[qmailtoaster] Request for ideas
Greetings fellow QMail admins: I am having an issue that is not life-threatening (or even business-threatening), but annoying none-the-less. I have a client who recently moved her Linux Server to her semi-retirement apartment in anther state. Her Linux Server reports in daily with status and various scan results. However, since her move (basically, since the switch to a dynamic IP address), my server has been blocking those reports because SORBS (correctly) sees her system as being on a dynamic IP block. So, the question for the group is: Can I turn off spam blocking for a specific address, or better yet, whitelist a from address?

Re: [qmailtoaster] Forwarding Mails to another server (smtproutes)
I have done some testing... I don't know if the QMail-Remote-Auth patch is a part of QMT, but if so - then it is not working. What this patch is /supposed /to do is to allow the addition of username password info in the smtproutes file. The idea being, if I place in my smtproutes file a line like: *:mail.myserver.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] mypassword * which is actually 2 fields longer than a normal smtproutes line (the extra 2 lines being a username (which, in the case of QMT is an email address) and a password, then all my outbound emails should be routed to the server *mail.myserver.com* and when the connection is made, SMTP_AUTH is supposed to be used, using the credentials provided. Any chance someone better at this than I am could figure out how to add the QMail-Remote-Auth patch??? (Or figure out why it isn't working?) I [personally] think that this patch should be a permanent part of the Toaster... any comments? BTW: I tested this by adding a valid username/password entry to a server, then sending a test message, then checking the send log -- which indicates that the connection is still proceeding without the authentication (exact snippet from the log file is: *delivery 29: failure: User_and_password_not_set,_continuing_without_authentication.*) Cheers!

Re: [qmailtoaster] DNS issue
I'm a little johnny-come-lately on this discussion, but here's my 2-cents worth: First, let's be clear on something -- with the exception of your own LAN, you do not control, nor does your server answer for a reverse-DNS lookup. DJBDNS, Bind, or even windoze DNS servers answer for NAME lookups for your configured domains, but the REVERSE DNS lookup will be resolved by your ISP. (Amazing how many admins get this wrong!) Based on your question, you may or may not have already known that, but I wanted to get it out of the way anyways. (Again, your LAN is the exception). Now typically, djbdns is setup as a caching nameserver -- which means it doesn't resolve LAN names or addresses -- just Internet ones. So that is probably where your first problem is. To learn how to install local domains, go to http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/run-server-bind.html This is where Daniel (Bernstein, not me) explains how to import and/or create the database for his djbdns system. (Personally, I use bind). Finally, remember that the REVERSE DNS zone has to be NAMED something like (using your apparent LAN address below): 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa and should contain an SOA and PTR records only (certain optional records -- like LOC are OK, but there is no need for the likes of NS or MX records in a reverse-DNS zone file). This seems counter-intuitive, but has to do with the database hierarchy that the Internet DNS system uses. (Basically, it is your network address with the bytes reversed -- so, your network address being 192.168.1[.0] (assuming a 24-bit netmask of 255.255.255.0), you reverse that to 1.168.192. Then, tell the system that this is a REVERSE zone by ending the name with in-addr.arpa). I hope this helps someone!

The simplest (and safest) solution is to have all senders authorize themselves. If they're authorized then all spamdyke filters are bypassed, and you don't have to worry about rDNS for your local network (which is otherwise fruitless). You may need to add smtp authorization to squirrelmail configuration if you have people using the toaster's squirrelmail. I keep forgetting to mention that Auth does not seem to be an option. The accounting package does not seem to work with it. I tried setting to submission port 587 and CRAM-MD5, but it says auth failed. I believe the software is at fault, so I hope to get it to work the standard way. Unless you think it is possible Auth is not working do to r-dns. If you think we could more easily trouble shoot the Auth, let me know. On a positive note, I did convert SM to use port 587 (submission) and Auth CRAM-MD5. After installing spamdyke, submissions had slowed in squirrel mail - you would click send and then watch the hourglass for a minute before message successfully sent. After converting to use submission, messages again go right through. I would recommend for anyone using spamdyke and squirrel mail. This slowness with SM is indicative of a dns/rbl problem, typically a dns timeout caused by who knows what. I'd have a look at the contents of /etc/resolv.conf. Since you're running a local dns server, the first nameserver entry should be 127.0.0.1. You should be using a static IP address on your toaster so that DHCP doesn't overwrite this file. If you can dig some sample external domains in quick fashion, then you probably are using an rbl which is having problems. If your dns server is just a localcache (recursive) server and not authoritative, I'd recommend using bind instead of djbdns. To use bind, remove what you have for djbdns, then # yum -y install bind bind-chroot caching-nameserver That's all there is to it. As for the errant submitter @192.168.1.19, have you tried adding this address to the /etc/spamdyke/whitelist_ip file?
Re: [qmailtoaster] Problem with DNS temporary failure
Interesting query -- it took several checks to find the issue(s)... here's what I checked what I deduced: # dig ns msa.hinet.net @4.2.2.2 This querey for the nameservers for the given domain (from a Verizon DNS server) reported NO NAME SERVERS So, my assumption was that msa was a hostname on the hinet.net domain. But assumptions are bad, so I checked: # dig a msa.hinet.net @4.2.2.2 This query reported an IP address of 168.95.4.211, which means I MIGHT be right... but let's check further I tried: # dig mx msa.hinet.net @4.2.2.2 which returned 9 different mail servers (msa-mx[1-9].hinet.net.), but ALL of them had a weight level of zero. This strongly implies that msa.hinet.net is intended to truly be a sub-domain of hinet.net... so I checked for a separate zone file with: # dig soa msa.hinet.net @4.2.2.2 and I received an SOA record... but wait, it was the SOA record for hinet.net, not the sub-domain. So, what have we learned: 1) msa.hinet.net is not really a sub-domain for hinet.net. If that is what is desired, then a new zone file needs to be created, with a unique SOA and unique NS and MX records. 2) msa.hinet.net is (for now) a hostname (or more correctly, a Fully Qualified Domain Name: FQDN) -- but a hostname that has MX records (multiple) assigned to it (legal, but not completel legit) 3) The MX records for msa.hinet.net are incorrectly formated -- I'm not positive, but I don't believe a weight (or preference level) of zero is valid. Try a level of 10. I DO believe that having them all set to the same preference is legal -- it creates a round-robin effect (or at least is supposed to). So -- at a minimum, fix your MX record preference levels. However, appearances seem to favor that you're trying to setup a truly differentiated sub-domain of hinet.net, in which case your DNS zone file needs to be created and correctly referenced within your hinet.net zone file.

Re: [qmailtoaster] RE: Weird issue with qmailadmin
I also had a problem with this error -- and it had a REALLY odd cause: I was logging in from a site that had a load-balancing dual-wan router... so qmailadmin thought I was logging in from 2 separate IP addresses. I fixed it in this case by using an SSL connection (https://mydomain.com/qmailadmin). This prevented the load-balancing router from load-balancing my connection to the qmail server. Not likely your problem (Jake's answer is MUCH more likely), but thought I'd throw the information out there... just in case! I hope this helps... someone!

It did work when I first set the machine up, but after a few months of running I started getting this error (I only need to make changes infrequently). My domains all get created with vadddomain nowadays. The initial domains were created with admin-toaster. I get the error with orignal domains and new domains. I found an error in the apache error log that may be related due to the time of errors (although not sure). PHP Notice: Use of undefined constant r - assumed 'r' in /usr/share/toaster/include/admin.inc.php on line 137 There are also other errors that seem to be related to a successful qmailadmin operation, probably for a separate thread sometime. That error is okay to ignore. It happens everytime someone logs in using postmaster. I've seen this before, but only for 1 of 2 reasons: someone is already logged into qmailadmin as the postmaster (did you use a strong password? In the case I was called in to investigate they had set the password as password and someone had hacked (it was so simply done and for such a STUPID reason I hate to even call it hacking) into their account and was creating email accounts for themselves) Using the postmaster account in an IMAP client will also generate this error in another case I've seen.

Sorry for the duplication folks... seems my SPAM Filter suddenly decided that the list was SPAM (in spite of being specifically white-listed). In any case, since my client hosts only their own email, but only recently upgraded to using SpamDyke, I set the idle-timeout-secs=120 in my spamdyke.conf file.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Duplicate Mail Receives
The server is an older one -- using an Athlon XP 2400+ CPU, 1GB RAM. Again, it hosts a single mail domain (well, really 2 -- one aliased to the other), and the problem showed up a few weeks after they were upgraded to using SpamDyke. As I mentioned in an earlier (today) post, there was some great info in the archives (under a load-balancing thread of all places) at http://www.mail-archive.com/qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com/msg18986.html As my log files didn't show ANYTHING unusual, I have surmised that the REMOTE mail server timed out (or mine did) while processing the message. I cannot control the remote side, so I tried one of the suggestions in the above-mentioned thread -- I increased SpamDyke's idle timeout value, albeit not nearly as much as the suggested one: I doubled it to 120 (from 60) vs. the tread's suggestion of 400. Again, only time will tell and my silent (again) phone! :-) Again, thanks to Sergio Minini for the suggestion pointer to that particular thread in the archives Dan Daniel McAllister, President IT4SOHO, LLC 224 - 13th Avenue N St. Petersburg, FL 33701 877-IT4SOHO: Toll Free 727-647-7646 In Pinellas 813-464-2093 In Hillsborough 727-507-9435 Fax Only When did you do your last backup?

Re: [qmailtoaster] Confusing of maillist and email address
Think about what you're asking... Hey QMail, when you get an e-mail addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED], READ THE SENDERS MIND and send it to the correct location, either our e-mail, or the list! OK, all sarcasm aside... if you are looking for an e-mail that collects all of the support e-mails (from the list), then you don't need a separate account -- the list feature includes an archive option that allows all message to be saved Other than that, if you truly want a separate e-mail, the address will need to be different from the list name so that QMail knows how to handle it. I hope this helps someone!

Re: [qmailtoaster] ClamAV Package Updated
One quick comment --
I was forced (by a client) to install the latest QMT onto a Fedora Core
8 system. As has been noted here before, there is an incompatibility in
the build scripts for simscan and the glibc that FC8 (actually FC7 too)
uses.
(my FC5 uses glibc 2.4, FC7 8 use glibc 2.7).
My own investigation turned up that simscanmk.c was calling an open
routine in glibc that in the newer version REQUIRES an explicit mode (set
of permissions). So, I patched the simscanmk.c file and rebuilt (it seems
OK to me so far -- but it has been in service only about 2 weeks now).
NOTE: I did it brute force by adding a 0x0644 mode -- the RIGHT way
would be to get the UMASK value from the system and use it to build the
right mode -- but I was in a hurry and my UMASK for regular files was 022
anyway!
I should also note that simscan itself is now at release 1.4 (vs. the 1.3
that the toaster uses). I suspect a main reason for the 1.4 release was
the new fopen requirements in the new glibc! (I'm sure other
improvements are included -- but compatibility has to have been a major
driving force.)
Not sure if this is of any relevance to you (or anyone on the list) -- but
thought it might be worth mentioning. BTW: The line in simscanmk.c is #133
-- just add the 0x0644 to the open call. It's actually irrelevant, as
there is a call to chmod later to explicitly set the permission to 644
anyway!)
I didn't actually create a patch file -- I just manually edited the
file, then finished the build.
I hope this helps someone!
Dan

My guess is that you're running 64-bit Linux (that is, an x86_64 installation). If this is the case, the reason you're seeing zlib show up twice is that you have both the i386 and x86_64 versions installed. Unfortunately, the rpm command doesn't show you this information, but I'll bet yum will. On my own FC5 system, here's what I get *# rpm -qa | grep zlib* zlib-devel-1.2.3-1.2.1 zlib-1.2.3-1.2.1 zlib-devel-1.2.3-1.2.1 zlib-1.2.3-1.2.1 *# yum list zlib** ...stuff deleted here... zlib.i3861.2.3-1.2.1installed zlib.x86_64 1.2.3-1.2.1installed zlib-devel.x86_641.2.3-1.2.1installed zlib-devel.i386 1.2.3-1.2.1installed Just an FYI -- I've had problems in the past with trying to RE-install Zlib as part of the QMT installation because I am virtually always connected via an SSH shell... so I have my install (and update) scripts skip over Zlib. After all, if zlib isn't there, I am not there either! So you can skip over any idea you have that the duplicate entries are any kind of error. It is perfectly normal in an x86_64 environment for the package to show twice -- once in i386 and once in x86_64. Now, if you think that's wasteful or duplicitous -- try Gentoo Linux build everything for your own specific hardware! I hope this helps... someone!!!

Re: [qmailtoaster] spamassassin-toaster-3.2.5-1.3.14 || problem on dependencies || 64 bit CentOS 5 (Resolved)
BE CAREFUL Johannes!!! A LOT of people administer their Linux boxes remotely -- usually via SSH. If you REMOVE the zlib package, your SSH connection *_/will /_*drop and you will be unable to reconnect. (Not surprisingly, SSH is very dependent on the zlib package for its encryption compression over the ssh channels!) So IF you feel the need to uninstall zlib (IMHO, not a good idea), make SURE you're not cutting off your access to your server! As for the dependency of zlib djbdns, I have both commented out in my build (and update) scripts. I learned ISC's bind many MANY years ago, so I never switched to djbdns anyway -- although I do agree with Daniel's rationale for creating it -- the caching server and authoritative server SHOULD be separate. The problem I have with that is that this means you cannot (easily) have a server that serves both roles, because both use port 53 -- and it's too late to re-invent DNS at this point! (That being said -- I actually started using djbdns on a hosted linux server last month -- it only has to be an authoritative server, and it is faster than bind in that role.

Re: [qmailtoaster] bypassing virtualdomains
I've had to deal with this... and if you have control of BOTH ends (old server and new) it's much easier... If your old server is a QMT, you can add a file in the control folder (usually /var/qmail/control) called smtproutes. The REAL functionality of this feature is so that you can configure a backup SMTP server that can queue mail for the main server until it is available again. However, it is equally useful in your migration environment -- simply make the old SMTP server a backup for the new one. The formats for the file (and full documentation) is on the WIKI at http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com/index.php/Smtproutes I hope this helps someone!

Quinn Comendant wrote: Hi all, Is there a way to have qmail-send check actual MX records for a domain before deciding if it is local or not (instead of by (more)rcpthosts and virtualdomains)? An issue comes up occasionally when a domain is added on our server which is currently hosted somewhere else (i.e. it's a migration) and the DNS isn't updated for awhile until the client is prepared to finalize the migration. The problem is, until MX records are switched, they expect mail to be delivered to their existing mail server (i.e. not us) however messages that are sent from our server are delivered locally because the domain exists in (more)rcpthosts and virtualdomains. Any users who send mail to their domain is not received (or more likely, is bounced because the user has not added any mail accounts for the domain). Solutions I've thought of: - Ask people to use a different SMTP server when sending messages to the domain until DNS is migrated (i.e. smtp.gmail.com). PROBLEM: we can't possible insist the hundreds of mail users on our system do this. - Comment out the domain in the (more)rcpthosts and virtualdomains control files. PROBLEM: when the DNS is finally switched for the domain, we'll most likely forget to un-comment the configuration. Any other ideas?

Re: [qmailtoaster] using qmail with lotus domino
I can attest to what Eric is saying... I use a QMT to front-end for several exchange servers. In DNS, the only MX records point to MX servers (mail.it4soho.com mail2.it4soho.com). Note that the latter (mail2) is actually the same store forward config as what you're trying to accomplish! So, you setup DNS to have an MX record for your QMT server and ONLY your QMT server. Then, in your QMT server, you make an entry in the control/smtproutes file that looks like this: mydomain.com:lotus.mydomain.com where lotus.mydomain.com is the IP address of your Domino server. NOTE: It is NOT necessary for your outbound e-mails to go through your QMT (although you can force that). However, if you specify SPF (in your DNS), you'll need to make an entry for your domino server as well as your mx entries... for example mydomain.com. TXT v=spf1 a mx lotus.mydomain.com -all I hope this helps... SOMEONE!

Re: [qmailtoaster] courier-authlib-toaster cant fing installed dependancy (of Building QMT on FC8)
I thought this was answered already
the ltdl.h file comes from the libtool-ltdl-devel package. However, for
the .h file to have any meaning, you'll also need to install the
libtool-ltdl package.
So, PRIOR to running the rpmbuild on the courier-authlib-toaster, please
run the following command:
# yum install libtool-ltdl*
NOTE: If you want to be more specific, you can run:
# yum install libtool-ltdl.i368 libtool-ltdl-devel.i386
# yum install libtool-ltdl.x86_64 libtool-ltdl-devel.x86_64
Now, obviously you don't want to install the x86_64 versions if you're
running 32-bit FC8, but if you're running the 64-bit version, you DO
need to install BOTH versions (BOTH i386 x86_64)
The next issue you'll have is with the simscan package we're (QMT)
still using an older version that allows a file open call to NOT specify
a set of permissions (old UNIX fully supported this, as there is a value
called a UMASK that provides the missing information if you don't
specify it). In any case, our (QMT) simscan package will have to be
manually built:
To do this, go ahead and run the rpmbuild -- it'll error out tho...
Then go to /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/simscan-1.3.1 (I think that's still our
current version) and edit simscanmk.c
There are 2 lines that need to be changed -- both the same way. Lines
133 379 (I think). In each case, you need to add a value to the end of
the open function call.
My lines look like:
if ( (fdout = open(CdbTmpFile, O_CREAT | O_TRUNC | O_WRONLY,
0x0644)) 0) {
Others have suggested 0x0777 or others... I prefer MINIMAL settings.
(These numbers represent the UNIX file permissions -- if you don't
understand them, consult man chmod)
Once you've fixed the two lines, you should be able to run make
make install without a problem, as the configure has already been
executed.
Finally, understand that the RPM facility will NOT show the
simscan-toaster package as being installed because you didn't complete
the rpmbuild. Don't sweat it. Depending upon the build/install script
you're using, just comment out the simscan check move on.
I hope this helps!

Re: [qmailtoaster] Failed build on RedHat Enterprise
Not germane to the problem at hand, but kudos to you for not logging in directly as root! Virtually all of the best practices for UNIX/Linux security tell you to disable direct root access, yet surprisingly it is one of the most common security HOLES I see when I audit systems. By requiring users to log in as themselves, THEN up their privileges to root, you are effectively requiring a double-password to gain root-level access. Now... if you're truly a root user, please look for the following potential problems: - what are the permissions on /, /var, /var/tmp, and lastly, /var/tmp/daemontools-0.76-show_flags o what we're looking here are: - x (execute) permissions for all the dirs the file itself - w (write) permission on /var/tmp - t (sticky) permission on /var/tmp o MY values are / = 0711, /var = 0711, /var/tmp = 1773 - what is your PATH variable set to? o it should include /bin:/usr/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/kerberos/bin and all of the sbin variants of those. - NOTE: on some systems, /opt either doesn't exist or is a symbolic link to /usr/local, so adjust accordingly. o MY value is PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/kerberos/sbin:/opt/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin Looking forward to your response Dan Daniel McAllister, President IT4SOHO, LLC PO BOX 507 St. Petersburg, FL 33731-0507 877-IT4SOHO: Toll Free 727-647-7646 In Pinellas 813-464-2093 In Hillsborough 727-507-9435 Fax Only When did you do your last backup?

Re: [qmailtoaster] spamdyke and tcpserver
You would want to use the tcprules.d folder only if you were trying to alter the general processing of inbound messages. As it appears you're trying to limit only the spamdyke functions, I suggest you look in the spamdyke config folder (its location is configurable -- I put mine in /var/qmail/control/spamdyke). Within that folder, create a whitelist_ip file. Messages received from those IP addresses will be skipped by spamdyke (e.g. they'll ALWAYS pass). I hope this helps...

Re: [qmailtoaster] FW: Email Senting Problems
I think there is some confusion here Robin... The DNS that is broken is NOT the DNS entries for your domains... it's the DNS client on your mail server. Log onto your mail server and try this command: dig mx google.com If it takes a long time to reply, or says no servers could be reached, then your outbound messages aren't being sent because the server cannot lookup where to send them! The easiest fix is to edit the file /etc/resolv.conf and make the nameserver entries something dependable like: nameserver 4.2.2.4 nameserver 4.2.2.5 If you're trying to be your own DNS server, you may or may not want to configure your own server to be your primary DNS server.

Re: [qmailtoaster] moving domain from old to new qmail toaster
Ok... since we're talking old *nix here, I thought I'd add my 2-cents worth... Short sweet: The password entries for your OLD system should import to the new one without issue. The new system will already know how to use the OLD password format, but when users change their passwords, the NEW ones will be stored in the $1$ (MD5) format automatically. How or Why you ask? read on... (otherwise, just accept that you don't have to do anything else -- just import the passwords -- move on) The problem you describe arises from the evolution of storing hashed passwords. Not encrypting -- encrypting implies that there is a DECRYPT algorithm. Let it be known throughout the land: there is NO known way (other than brute force guessing) to derive a password from a stored hashed password. NOT even from the old CRYPT format to the newer ones. (NOTE: This is what would be necessary to convert the old passwords to the newer $1$ (MD5) format.) If you have user's hashed passwords you CANNOT convert them to another format. Not no way, not no how. Some background: The /*original*/ (1970's) way to store passwords on *nix systems was to store the 11-character ASCII-ized (base-64) output of CRYPT, a DES-based hashing algorithm. The hash was created by supplying a string of 0's as input and using your password as the hash key: thus the 8-character limit on passwords. The hash results were ASCII-ized (converted to Base-64 printable characters) stored in /etc/passwd. To check a password, you just repeat the process, using the password-guess as the key, and if the results match, the passwords matched the user is authenticated. It didn't take long (into the mid-1980's) to add a 2-character SALT to the beginning of the password field, thus making any given password storable in up to 4096 different ways. Skip ahead to the 90's, and note that over time 3 steps have been taken to more better secure *nix authentication methods: First, we moved password data from the MUST be publically readable /etc/passwd to the not publically readable /etc/shadow file. Then, we changed to a stronger hash algorithm (MD5), and finally, we used the password as the input, and used a longer/larger random value for the SALT (the odds of getting the same SALT grew from 1-in-4096 to 1-in-nearly 280 quadrillion). Since the password itself is now the entry string (vs. part of the key) it can be nearly ANY length (typically up to the 128 chars of the typical TTY buffer). Because of the changes, the FORMAT of the password/shadow file had to change: it's no longer just the ASCII-ized hash output, nor a fixed-length SALT. Instead, the $'s are field delimiters. $1$ is tells the system to use the MD5-based algorithm (a $2a$ value would indicate use of the Blowfish hash algorithm). The next field (between the $s) is the random SALT. The normal length is 8 base-64 chars, thus the 1-in-280 quadrillion chances of duplicates, but it is adjustable. The last field (23 chars for the MD5-based algorithm) are hashed password itself. So, as the AUTH part of a program, when I look at the stored password, if the password field has 3 $s, then I know it's an advanced password. If it is 11 chars, then I know it's an OLD password. The 13 you showed indicates an OLD DES-type password with a 2-character SALT. In the case of an advanced password, I'll need to have the appropriate hashing algorithm for the code in the first field. (Interestingly, Mac OS-X uses the old CRYPT with 2-SALT character method, and DOESN'T ship with the MD5 algorithm installed. You CAN add it, but you have to add MD5 before you reconfigure your auth configs!) So, when the authlibs in QMail Toaster authenticate users, the encrypted passwords can be in either: - The original 11-character format, or - The 13-character (2-char SALT + 11 char result) format, or - The $1$ (MD5 advanced) format By default (in the QMT), new passwords will be stored in the $1$ format. I hope this helps explain WHY it'll work with BOTH kinds of passwords simultaneously!

Re: [qmailtoaster] yahoo deferrals fix - Really SPF checking
Just to throw my 2-cents worth in here... but I think (e.g.: my opinion) that Jake's SPF record recommendation is too restrictive. The A record for your domain very likely may not be the same server as your mail server (in other words, your main web server -- usually the A record for your domain -- may not be your mail server too...) My preferred SPF entry would, therefore, include an MX enrtry to add ALL of the MX records from your domain: v=spf1 a mx -all As for having all those extra SPF records, there apparently needs to be some explanation of how SPF works... to make it as simple as possible, let's just look at the processing of an SPF check: - I get mail from [EMAIL PROTECTED] (a FAKE e-mail address, to be sure!) - I do a DNS TXT lookup for the domain -- effectively, a dig txt qmt.com, or more up-to-date, dig spf qmt.com - I look up the SPF records there (and see v=spf1 a mx -all) - I look up the A record MX record(s) of the domain (dig a qmt.com dig mx qmt.com) - I compare the IP address SENDING the message against the IP addresses discovered above - If there is a match, you PASS SPF checking - If there is NO match, you FAIL SPF checking I block you (the -all) So, you really only need the SPF record for the DOMAINs you send/receive mail with... and the extra TXT records for mail*.solowtech.com http*.solowtech.com won't actually affect anything for the domain solowtech.com (which is, presumably, the domain of your emails). Thus, although you dismiss your first SPF entry as being just your web host, the fact that IT includes both A and MX entries is why your SPF is working! Now, if you have other hosts that may send e-mail on behalf of your domain, but are NOT also mail servers (like a backup server, or alternate web server that want to send logs or alerts), then you just add those servers to your ONE SPF record... like this: v=spf1 a mx ip4:71.21.142.30 -all Now, SPF checking mail servers will accept messages from the solowtech.com domain so long as they come from: - The A record for solowtech.com (67.212.79.197) - Any of the MX records for solowtech.com (only 67.212.79.220 currently) - The IP Address of 71.21.142.30 (the ip4 option) SO... since this is the holiday season, I'll do most of the work for you and say that: 1) you should probably have a backup mail server (you currently have only the 1 MX record, you should have more) 2) If all of the hosts in your posting below are supposed to be valid sources of email, and 'mail.solowtech.com resolves to 67.212.79.198 'mail2.solowtech.com resolves to 67.212.79.198 too 'mail17.solowtech.com resolves to 67.212.79.220 'mail21.solowtech.com resolves to 67.212.79.221 'http2.solowtech.com resolves to 67.212.79.198 too THEN, your SPF record may need to look like: v=spf1 a mx ip4:67.212.79.198 ip4:67.212.79.221 -all HOWEVER, since 197 (a) 220(mx) are already there, you COULD get fancy and use the prefix option and get the same using v=spf1 a/30 mx/31 -all which equates to your A record with a 30-bit prefix -- effectively, 67.212.79.196-199... plus your MX record with a 31-bit prefix (67.212.79.220-221) You MIGHT want to use the REAL netmasks that you might control... e.g.: v=spf1 a/19 -all which would equate to 67.212.79.192-223 Sigh SO MANY possibilities!

Re: [qmailtoaster] TLS unable to initialize ctx
Drat... I was going to look like a magician! I FORCE my non-local users to use POPS, IMAPS, and SMTPS when they communicate to the mail servers (NOTE: I manage more than 30 qmail servers for clients)... and I ALWAYS have to increase the default memory sizes for the processes in the supervise/run scripts when I install/reinstall! The issue is that the SSL libraries are simply too large to link in to the default memory size! Let me guess -- you (like me) are using a 64-bit version of SUSE (mine are actually Fedora) -- it seems to me that my 32-bit systems do not have this problem. I change the memory limits for ALL of my SSL-enabled protocols (pop3-ssl, imap4-ssl, smtp, submission, smtp-ssl to 128MB and everything works fine. (WHY SMTP? Because it's an OPTION in standard smtp [port 25] to use SSL, and if you don't increase the size then you'll be advertising that you accept SSL connections on that port, but in anyone actually TRIES to use it, it'll crash) Anyway, since I won't look like a magician, at least I'll explain the logic behind the magic! :-) HAPPY GNU YEAR EVERYONE!

Yes, I did, i followed the instructions in the SuSE 10.1 tutorial like i did before on the other server with the same hard- software.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Aliases
From what I have experienced, aliases in QMail Toaster are handled in the vpopmail user database, not with the .qmail files... Again, from what I understand, the configuration in QMT is that Qmail hands the message off to vpopmail for delivery, bypassing the .qmail files for user directories. I have tried in vain in the past to manually control aliases and mail processing for specific users, and wound up each time making the change in vpopmail vs. qmail. Just my thoughts I hope they're helpful!

Check the permissions/ownership of the .qmail file. I think your script will also need 755 permissions at the least to run, and be owned by vpopmaik:vchkpw. Also look at your logs and see if they give any information when attempting to process the .qmail script.

Re: [qmailtoaster] RES: TLS error
The most common problem I've had with TLS and all of the QMAIL TOASTER daemons is a lack of available RAM. First off, let me explain that I use both 64-bit and 32-bit Linux implementations (mostly CentOS, some Fedora, a few Debian), and the problem first arose on a 64-bit system. The fix was to drastically increase the softlimit in my run scripts, and since I duplicate config info on all of my systems - regardless of 64 or 32-bit OSes -- I've never seen this be a problem in the 32-bit systems. What happens when the process runs out of RAM because of the need for the TLS libraries is that the process crashes -- with indeterminate results. So, my suggestion is to up your softlimit and let's go from there!

Re: [qmailtoaster] Upgrading Question
I feel the urge to post my 2-cents worth here... As a *NIX (Linux, Solaris, HP/UX, AIX, even oldies like Ultrix SunOS) Systems Administrator for more than 20 years now, and the author of at least 6 Instructor-Lead week-long courses (I don't count customizations of existing course-ware), I have always felt and taught that updates were akin to asking for trouble. In fact, every one of my courses has a slide (or screen in the video-based courses) that says specifically: If it ain't broke, don't fix it! (and it is attributed, tongue in cheek, to my great-great-grandma, Irene). As the earlier poster implied, there certainly are exceptions -- notably security patches... but except for security patches, there is no need to constantly update Linux (or other *NIX versions)! There are very few true security flaws in the *NIX world, and you certainly need to keep a look out for them patch/update when they are discovered -- but this incessant need to be running the latest greatest software WILL get you into trouble! (Not if, WHEN!) Personally, I update systems only when I HAVE TO - To apply a security patch - To add new functionality As a result, I often install old versions so that new systems are running the same OS as the old ones). A case-in-point was the Linux 2.6 kernel -- which was fully 2-years old before I installed on ANY of my systems... because I didn't need it! It wasn't until I changed hardware vendors for my RAID cards and I was forced into the 2.6 kernels that I went back to the old systems and upgraded -- and that was for MY maintenance benefit! (They haven't been updated since -- still running 2.6.18 kernels in nearly ALL of them!)

Re: [qmailtoaster] Re: Is it possible with Qmail
Actually, if you want to get TECHNICAL, most of those things can also be done in QMT: 1 - a Unique Message ID is created when the server receives each message -- and the message ID is the filename used by VPOPMAIL to store the message (or at least PART of the filename). Of course, to SEE the message ID (file name, etc), you'll need access to the QMail files and folders. 2 - Tracking Status are handled by the QMail logging feature -- and detailed logs are kept for each process. You can adjust the level of detail. The only tricky part is that the Admin user who wants to view these logs will need shell access, or else web access to the log folders files. 3 - Using QMT and the VPOPMAIL utilities, an Admin can easily maintain and modify the settings (including quotas) for each user 4 - Here's the tricky one... Using shell commands and the QMail logs, an Admin certainly can determine overall user activity -- but the logs will need to be more detailed than the default setting, and the Admin will need a shell account in addition to the QMail account. So you see, depending on how you INTERPRET the requirements, QMT can satisfy the requirements with little change! There ARE ways to outsmart even LAZY requirements writers (e.g.: the ones that copy requirements from feature lists!) Just my thoughts... Dan IT4SOHO PS: Throw in an additional kicker -- QMT can support separate Admins for each Domain -- so that different e-mail domain admins can be completely locked out of domains that they are NOT admins for.

Re: [qmailtoaster] help -- smtp forward--
I don't speak or read Spanish (assuming that's Spanish), but I think what you're trying to do is to forward outbound messages to a smart host of some kind. Look at the SMTPROUTES file in the CONTROL folder (the actual file names are NOT capitalized) -- by making a generic entry there, all non-local deliveries will be re-directed to the host you specify. (Just make sure that host allows your system to RELAY!) To make a generic entry, just start the like with a : -- so, to send all of your outbound messages to mail.smarthost.com, the line would look like: :mail.smarthost.com Good luck!

[qmailtoaster] QTP NewModel and CentOS
Greetings all... I've been using QTP almost since its inception -- I love most of the scripts and find most to be refreshingly robust. I say most, because I did another QMT install this weekend and decided to spend a little time trying to debug an error I've had from the beginning: On a CentOS 5 x86_64 install that is upgraded from an older version to CentOS 5.5, the qtp-newmodel script consistently fails to mount a unioned sandbox. I know there are issues with CentOS 5 due to the merging of FUSE in general into the mainline kernel during the CentOS 5 lifetime. Furthermore, I am aware that the dkms-fuse package has been removed from the rpmforge repository entirely. But I can get around those. The issue seems to be with the script mounting /opt/qtp-overlay and it not showing up in /etc/mtab. Quite honestly, since I wrote my own update/install script BEFORE I used QTP, I have in the past just used my script to do the install, then use the QTP scripts to manage it after that. But I'd sure like to get to the bottom of this -- even if CentOS 6 comes out in a month or two, I don't intent to upgrade to it before 2012... so any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I can provide traces and logs to anyone familiar with the qtp-sandbox for union-fs and how it's supposed to work. Thanks in advance.

Re: [qmailtoaster] using registrar's DNS instead of djbdns or Bind
Keith, The DNS component is a performance issue, nothing more. And there are TWO separate and /unequal /parts to the equation: - In the first part, we're talking about making the DNS entries that point other MAIL servers to your QMAIL server and in this part, you honestly do not care whether it is your own personal DNS server, or your ISP's (or registrar's) DNS server -- so long as you can make the SPF, DomainKeys, and/or DKIM entries for SPAM control. - It's the second part that is usually installed locally and can make or break your QMAIL service. This is the part that resolves DNS queries for the QMAIL server (determines the MX records for outbound mail, checks for SPF records, etc.) Thus, for a SMALL installation (one or two domains, only a handful of users), using an outside DNS server will be fine... It will work, albeit less than optimally. But as you grow your installation, you'll start to see problems that will trace back to slow DNS resolution IMHO, and from what I've read: small-to-mid sized installations can use BIND (www.isc.org) just fine -- but even that eventually bogs down as the utilization curve ramps up -- which is why the QMT recommends the use of DJBDNS (http://cr.yp.to/djbdns.html). Now don't get me wrong -- DJBDNS is not the end-all, be-all of DNS servers. In fact, I personally use BIND myself (currently about 30 domains, about 150 users - I consider myself a SMALL server). IMHO, BIND is (and remains) the gold standard in being a DNS server -- but the DJBDNS system is amazingly fast at being a DNS client (or, more correctly, doing recursive lookups), and THAT is the component that the QMAIL system needs to access -- and to access quickly (and repeatedly) in larger environments. Finally, I have to throw in one jab at the think in the small, confined box types out there. Just because you need a DNS server on your QMail box doesn't mean it has to be THE DNS server at your site. Remember, the DNS burden of the QMail (or any other mail) system is in the lookups, not in the responses to outside clients. So don't be afraid to run QMail with its own DJBDNS service and have your real DNS servers somewhere else... So, to summarize -- especially for testing, you can leave your resolv.conf pointing to your ISP's (or registrar's) DNS server and everything should work just fine... but when you are truly ready to go into production, you should implement either BIND or DJBDNS on the host system. I've given you rationale and backup for either decision, so it's a matter of taste now... Enjoy your testing... and leave the DNS for later!

[qmailtoaster] Re: SpamAssassin Version
Just to throw my 2-cents worth in here... Binary packages are fine in a well-controlled environment, but source packages offer far more flexibility -- especially if the Makefiles are sophisticated enough to recognize advanced features and take advantage of them (without REQUIRING them). And while binary packages of SpamAssassin and ClamAV are likely available in binary form (and it may not be a bad idea to make the QMT dependent on the standard installation features and locations of each of these), the fact is that QMT grew up in a time when QMail itself was REQUIRED to be distributed in a source format -- part of the licensing requirement of Daniel Bernstein, author of QMail. (I don't think that's true anymore, since Daniel put QMail truly into the Public Domain, but I never worried about that so I'm not totally up-to-date on QMail licensing requirements). NOTE: I already use QMail in a VM environment (CentOS 5.6 is the host OS, Xen is the VM environment, and CentOS 5.5 is my current guest OS running QMT -- I'll update that at some time in the future, but I'm honestly expecting to wait for CentOS 6 before I upgrade the base QMT again). The point is, you are right that there is a sizable disk-space requirement to rebuild the entire QMT from source (*esp*. ClamAV)... but there is an easy way to patch that! Specifically, I mount an NFS volume from my Xen Host to supplement my Xen Client's storage while I build, then unmount and destroy the temp space when I'm done. NOTE: For ME this works especially well because I administer so many QMT installs -- I update the VM image, then distribute it to my clients. All of their actual data (the queue, the mailboxes, the control folder, etc.) are kept on NFS-mounted drives on the HOST OS -- so only the binary QMT is actually run on the Xen-Client... this is not a NORMAL config, and wouldn't be MY config if it weren't for my need to manage so many installs at the same time. Take from this what you wish -- discard the rest. It's worth every penny you paid for it!

Colvin wrote: This is true, however a LARGE amount of spam is sent from IP's with no RDNS. By not blocking those e-mails, you're certainly forcing your mail server to deal with a MUCH larger amount of mail, most of which would be spam. I guess if you don't have a resource issue, and don't mind wasting resources on handling spam, that may or may not be rejected by SpamAssassin down the road, then that's fine. I agree that, if the customer wants the spam, I'm more than happy to let them have it. However, I won't do it at the detriment of other users. If you've never had a Spam Attack, where your server is constantly bombarded by spammers, then when you do, you'll wish you had SpamDyke. :-) When your server (Or the OP's server) is being hammered by a spammer, and comes here to complain about how his server is overloaded and legit e-mail is timing out because all of his SMTP ports are being bogarted, the first suggestion is going to be Are you running SpamDyke. And, yes... When a client is not getting e-mail because the sender's mail server (Usually an internal Exchange server) does not have an RDNS, I tell them that's why. I even have a form e-mail I send them to send the blocked person. I've actually picked up several consulting gigs (Fixing their RDNS issue) and spam filtering customers from this... Lack of RDNS is becoming a much more common antispam check. So, if you're blocking it, others are also likely blocking it, and, in the end, the offending server's admin is going to have to resolve the issue...

Spamdyke false positives are practically nonexistent though, so you might want to just leave spamdyke active and not tell him about it. Then again, if he insists on receiving spam, I'd charge him extra for the load it'll cause on your server as well as the trouble of configuring spamdyke. ;) Even if Spamdyke is correct, it does not mean that the end behaviour is what the customer expects. I have ran into issues where customers haven't received email they were expecting because of Spamdyke rejecting a message because of missing reserve dns. And it does not help telling the customer that the sending server is not properly configured, if they can receive the same email with their Gmail or some other account... I have been playing around with an idea that I should create a page for each customer where they could check the sending addresses for denied messages. So if there is a real message denied I could then offer an option to white list that mail server or sending address, so that the customer could try contacting the sender again.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Re: RE; spamdyke ?
The fix is to edit your SSL-capable run files in /var/qmail/supervise/*/run
Depending on what you've got configured, you may need to modify:
*smtp*, *submission*, *smtp-ssl*, *pop-ssl*, *imap-ssl*.
The last line in each of those run files is the exec that spawns the
actual program -- and the first argument is usually softlimit with a -m
xx value. The most recent QMT I installed set that value to
6400 (for SMTP SUBMISSION), or 4800 (for IMAP4-SSL
POP3-SSL)... these are bigger numbers already from when I last saw this
issue, but just FYI, my value for SMTP, SUBMISSION, and SMTP-SSL are
128MB (134217728) [expr 128 \* 1024 \* 1024], and I also increased the
450 value to 64 MB [67108864].
Call me an old-fashioned UNIX guy, but I'm just more comfortable with
powers of 2 than powers of 10 when it comes to memory allocation! :-)
I'm not sure how much it matches up with the current toaster, but I use
the following RUN file in all 3 SMTP locations (smtp, submission,
smtp-ssl) with the /_*highlighted *_/line changed for each appropriate
spot to make the requisite changes for each port's requirements. (NOTE:
I also make the HOSTNAME value equal to the qmail control me value
-- it makes more sense to me to use that value than the actual hostname
value from the server).

Re: [qmailtoaster] Allow relay without auth
You should be able to turn off the no-relay option by using the TCP Rules Using the REAL IP address of your Internal Server (that would be the Internet IP, not the LAN IP), add the line: /I.P.A.D/:allow,RELAYCLIENT=,SENDER_NOCHECK=1 near the TOP of your file at */etc/tcprules.d/tcp.smtp* A _sample _/complete/ file looks like (NOTE: There is no right or wrong -- yours may well be different and work fine for you!): 127.0.0.1:allow,RELAYCLIENT=,SENDER_NOCHECK=1 1.2.3.4:allow,RELAYCLIENT=,SENDER_NOCHECK=1 :allow,BADMIMETYPE=,BADLOADERTYPE=M,CHKUSER_RCPTLIMIT=50,CHKUSER_WRONGRCPTLIMIT=10,QMAILQUEUE=/var/qmail/bin/simscan,DKSIGN=/var/qmail/control/domainkeys/%/private This tells TCP Rules to set the environment variables RELAYCLIENT and SENDER_NOCHECK before processing the message, which in turn tells QMail to allow relaying from the IP address specified (in the example above, 1.2.3.4). If your client system is behind a DHCP Internet Service (that is, the IP address may change), you'll need a different solution! Best of luck!
