Can anyone tell me what is the CORRECT way to do this...
I have a qmail server in my DMZ which accepts email and
using SMTPROUTES passes emails on to my internal qmail server.
This works fine EXCEPT, if I send an email to an incorrect address on the internet,
I don't get a bounced email back
I'm trying to make a Perl program that is called by the .qmail file for a
single account but recieves messages for several extension addresses. To
clarify, a single account, bob, will be recieving for bob-john, bob-jill, etc.
This program is supposed to database certain parts of the message,
Even though the message is in norwegian, you will recognize that it's
a QMAILSCANNER virus warning, and I've gotten 6 more last hour.
Please disinfect your computer and / or temporarly stop sending mail.

Hey, it took 30 minuttes for my message to go trough!
When I sent the message NOONE had complained,
later when the list catched up several warning-messages came.
Complain to the "fill in the blank" person who sent this virus :(

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at tuxar.com.
I tried to deliver a bounce message to this address, but the bounce bounced!
@tuxar.com:
Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. vpopmail (#5.1.1)

Please remove your "extras" when sending to this mailinglist,
no matter how plesent it looks or feels your mail gets is 10 times bigger.
You are not paying for more than 1 copy of this message in bandwith,
but the nice guys that offer their bandwidth to give you and others
the shared knowledge
Sorry for putting this on the list if it has already been answered however
I checked the archives and failed to get an answer to it and although I
have read 5.4 in the FAQ it does not help me much.
I am using tcpserver and I have set up qmail and done relaying as
instructed in the FAQ
Qmail is one MTA only, which suports and propagates ORBS "moral" and
technical thus availablility to connect with qmail platform to ORBS
and reject mail from listed by ORBS hosts.
Neither sendmail nor postfix is interested with ORBS anty-spam system and don't
support ORBS.
The ORBS system
I know it. But my question it's another. I'm going try explain better.
I have try these.
I have send a email with netscape comunnicator 4.61 and i have put
"Request return receipt" to on. I have send these email over a SMTP
SENDMAIL server, and when i received this email, i have been
Qmail doesn't support "return receipt". Any solution for this?.
I'm pretty sure you are confusing "Reply-To:" with "Return-Path:",
"Return-Path:" also known as envelope sender is used as the
return address/receipt on "all" mailservers including QMAIL.
"Reply-To:" is used by E-Mail clients when
I run qmail on a linux server and there's a hard spamming through it.
In my server there are four domain (three are virtuals).
I set the rcpthosts file with the names of my domains (one per row).
The problem is that now users of my domains can't send out mails.
I know that one possible
SPAM is not a big deal if you are getting only SPAM.
It is much worse when you are getting thousands and thousands of failure messages.
This is exactly what happened to me: some smart guy has a huge list of
emails addresses which are intended to be his spam victims.
Tousands of them are not
You can only purge them automaticly, I'm not sure that's to smart.
The best is to reject based on envelope sender or recipient,
that way you can tell the "offening" server that you rejected the message.
(This is done throug the files control/badmailfrom and control/badrcptto.)
badrcptto
I imagine that more than one person on this list has spoken to ORBS
about their misleading relay test? How many people have ended up on the
ORBS list simply because their qmail installations accepted emails with
"%" or "!" in the To: field?
NO ONE!
ORBS tester requires the E-Mail to reach
[root@mail:~]# nslookup rbl.maps.vix.com
Server: ns1.supplyguys.net
Address: 205.247.132.3
*** smtp.supplyguys.net can't find rbl.maps.vix.com: Non-existent host/domain
and I get the same response if I lookup DUL. Makes no sense.
You are using NSLOOKUP to find a A, CNAME or PTR record
I am running qmail on my system but i am getting sendmail messages in the log
here's part of the log
[cut]
Aug 16 11:05:19 mail2 sendmail[9695]: LAA09693: [EMAIL PROTECTED],

3. The mailserver then contacts teh first server on teh list,
says "here's an e-mail message", along with a list of addresses (usually 20 or so).
Sometimes all those addresses are on that server, somtimes not.
I've never seen I mailing list do this,
it not only sounds stupid - it is stupid.
Argh. Get that misconception *out your head*.
People who disallow ORBS to scan them get listed as *untestable*,
not as *open relays*. ORBS doesn't block.
Are these records in relays.orbs.org?
How can you say that ORBS doesn't block them, then?
Oh, I see, ORBS made up their own semantics
Never has the policies of ORBS have ANYTHING directly to do with SPAM,
it is an validated Open Relay database which for obvious reason also
contains those who deny/decive ORBS testing by blocking it.
In other words, it's a good place to go to find open relays,
in order to abuse them.
Put
But when the system doesn't relay and has never relayed, constantly *retesting*
it and dumping that mail in the postmaster's mailbox seems wrong.
Sure, it's not that much spam, but when you have a number of hosts
with mail setups like that, it starts slowly adding up.
And of course, their
My question now is: what's going on?
Since the SMTP connection never ends, I don't really know what the heck
are they trying to send me; plus, it would have needed to be something
really *big*, since the incoming bandwidth usage was on 96 Kbytes/sec.
for the whole weekend; you do the math.
I want to block incoming of mails from few domains for few users (POP and SMTP
both) only.
If i put these domain in the badmailfrom file it blocks for all the users.
The other, easier way is to just put the email addresses in badmailfrom.
I.e. instead of putting domain.com in badmailfrom,
Thanks for the info, i checked it for the POP users it is working fine.
I want to know how it can be done for SMTP users. Kindly suggest.
Could you please explain how you identify the users,
is it only done by their address or is it done by IP.
The only method I can think of @ the top of my

You'll need to make a short script,
and add it into these users
What a mail admin chooses to do with is ORBS information is up to him,
and he may ignore some or all listings ORBS give out for "admin refused".
How can I set up my filters to just use "really open relay" info from
ORBS and throw away "admin refused" unknows?
You have seen the other zone
AFAIK all mailserver are required to have an A record,
they are also required to have an RDNS matching "this" A record.
This A record then becomes one of the possible domains to reach the mailserver,
which RFC 822 requires to have a postmaster@domain (domain being RDNS).
Where do you see
This seems like a weak excuse, all your interfaces should have
matching RDNS to their main A records and it's sufficient to set this up once!
Who shall fill in control/locals, should the reverse (outside my control) change?
You, because you choose the mailservers hostname/domain.
