I use this:

             *d++ = c;
          }
     }

How did you start the pop3 server,
pop3 username for vpopmail :

user.name%domain.com

the % sign replaces the @

have you read this ? http://www.inter7.com/vpopmail/FAQ
Try to always browse to the website of the program first in case you have 
any questions.




I have about 200 users on system. Everyone has a file called 'Mailbox' and
I would like to change 'Maildir' so I could use qmail pop-3.
Is this possible with some script, that root could change them to Maildir?
I don't want to: su user , /var/qmail/bin/makemaildir, so I am just
asking, is there easier way?:)

Hi,

I'm  new to qmail so I don't know how to solve the problems above.
We have about > 1000 users who access their mailboxes through 
qmail-pop3d. All this day, none of the e-mail go to their mailboxes
which is in a mail directoy.

Make sure some freak program hasn't changed all the ownerships on those
mailboxes (ie ls -l /home/mailhome/a or whatever and check the files are
owned by their respective owners). Also try a killall -HUP tcpserver or
inetd (depending on what you use), in case it is somehow managed to lock all
the files open.

Good luck

Are you using a virtual user set-up? Is "din91" listed in the
/etc/passwd? How is mail getting to /home/mailhome/d/din91?

>From the error message and the ls output above, it seems that delivery 
is *not* occuring as user "alias", which is the only user with access
to that directory.

The users under /home/mailhome/a/... /home/mailhome/b/... are not listed
in
the /etc/passwd file. What happens was, when a user connects to the pop
server
(port 110), qmail-popup will run, as follows: 

qmail-popup renegade.myweb.com.my /bin/checkpassword_mysql
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir - this will check the user and
password against the mysql database. 

The previous machine that we have (what happened was I was the unlucky
fellow to
do the dirty job of replicating one whole webserver, and making having
to make
sure everything work :-) ) also had the same setup and things worked,
not till 
yesterday after I replaced the server ...sigh...

Now Dave, you mentioned that delivery was not under user *alias*, I
think I'l run
qmail under user alias?

> -Dave

--mel




Hi,

I think I found the problem. In our old machine, the lists of users are
kept in a file assign.<timestamp> in /var/qmail/users. In the old
system,
the files look like this (a snapshot):

=0000:alias:1000:1001:/home/mailhome/j/jimmy:::
=00000:alias:1000:1001:/home/mailhome/0/00000:::
=007:alias:1000:1001:/home/mailhome/0/007:::
=007007:alias:1000:1001:/home/mailhome/0/007007:::
=00ics:alias:1000:1001:/home/mailhome/0/00ics:::
=00isss:alias:1000:1001:/home/mailhome/0/00isss:::
=0123:alias:1000:1001:/home/mailhome/0/0123:::

...

In this case, all users belong to gid 1001, which is the gid of alias.
The new system (server, I mean) have different gid.

Okay, now I know one potential source(s) of the problem, how do I
rebuild
this file? 

--mel (they put a young sysad for the job :) )




Try:

sed s/\:1001\:/\:new_GUD\: assign.<timestamp> >assign.whatever

It will go through and replace

:1001:

with

:new_GID: 

and write the output to assign.whatever.  If you don't redirect the output,
it sends it to the terminal (screen).  If this is a huge file, that's
probably not something you want to do as it will be awhile before you can
regain control of the terminal while it dumps the contents of the file to
the screen.

The reason that you would want to include the extra : characters is so that
you doin't inadvertantly nuke one of the usernames that might have 1001 in
it.  Just in case you didn't know, you use \ to "escape" the character so
that the command line doesn't try to interpret it.  The : means "null" and
is used in shell scripting for "doing nothing" in conditional statements
where you might expect to use a command, like:

if [ some test ]
then
        :
else
        do something
fi

I'm no sed expert, but this is a fairly simple basic use of it.  There may
be someone that can give you something fancier, or perhaps with a little
more error correction, but this is the gist of it, and will work as written.

Of course, don't forget to run qmail-newu after making changes to your
assign file.

You don't need to escape these colons.  `:' is a builtin command, but
it's not a special character; as far as command *parsing* goes, `:' is
just like `b'.

Allow more connections using the "-c N" option, where N is the maximum 
number of simultaneous connections allowed. THe default is 40.

What symptoms are you seeing that lead you to believe that qmail-smtpd 
is a bottleneck?

Hello,

I'm running qmail for a long time without any problems.
Now I should run qbiff for a couple of users, but
without success. Diging in the source I found this:

        if (!(st.st_mode & 0100)){
                close (fdtty);
                continue;
        }

I'm not a C programmer, so please tell me what this
means ? As far as I can read it, in st.st_mode is
stored mode of respective tty line. In my case this
is /dev/ttyp0 wich mode is 20620. (20620 & 0100) is
0, so fdtty gets closed and qbiff doesn't send notify.
Is this mean, that in order to receive notifications
about incoming mails I must set all my tty's in
mode 700 ? Why ?
Please feel free to correct me if I'm totally wrong.
And excuse my poor english ;-)

Thank you for your time.

Correct. It's the obscurity of how certain commands,
such as biff and mesg set/define access for other commands
like qbiff, write, talk etc which want to write to your
tty.

You may want to look at the man pages for mesg to help
understand what's going on, but essentially dmesg/biff
set the mode bits and use group tty access to determine
whether or not qbiff/write/talk can or should write something
to your tty.

I would think 0100 or '+x'.

It's explained in the message you get when you first subscribe: send a
message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]  To unsubscribe a
particular address (not necessarily the one you're sending from), send
to [EMAIL PROTECTED], where user@host is the
address you want unsubscribed.  To see what address you used to
subscribe, look at the Return-Path: in the header of this message.

Hi, this list is so busy it can get scary !!

I'm not sure who is moderating, but maybe a message at the bottom w/ the escape
clause...

It does work.  The biggest problem users have is when their mail system
is rewriting the envelope sender and from addresses on outgoing mail, as
is typical with many sendmail installations.

Chances are the system you're trying to unsubscribe from is mangling addresses
in one direction or the other, or both.  Try posting a complete set of
headers from a message you receive from this mailing list.

This list isn't moderated, and AFAIK, the list owner doesn't read it.

Perhaps the documentation has a bug?  Could you explain what you have
tried and what happened when you tried it?

That's a really easy way to unsubscribe: From your .qmail file, 
bounce every message you receive from the list. ezmlm will 
unsubscribe you automatically, and pretty fast.

I've been working on this all day again!  Anyone out there have _any_
suggestions?  Once again, heres the info:

/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -u 102 -g 100 -x /usr/local/etc/ip/tcp.smt
p.cdb 0 smtp /usr/local/bin/rblsmtpd -rrelays.radparker.com
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1

I'm running qmail1-03 on a Sparc 5 running Solaris 7.  I'd really
appreciate any help anyone has to offer.  Thanks.

Hi,

1. Is all the stuff on one line?
2. Does rblsmtpd really live in /usr/local/bin?
3. Does "relays.radparker.com" really live? To me it seems it's 
dead.

You may test your rblsmtpd like this:
env TCPREMOTEIP=127.0.0.2 rblsmtpd -r relays.radparker.com 
echo hello
(all on one line) and see what happens. You may also test with 
different IPs.

I can ping it and I've tried changing the hostname to maps.vix.com in the
tcpserver rc script.

I tried and I always get "hello."  I'm really stumped!

Well yes, it pings, but does it serve out any meaningful 
information? (Let me remind you that "no record" means "host is 
OK"; it the zone is empty, no machine will be considered spam-
source.)

What if you try without the -r parameter?
env TCPREMOTEIP=127.0.0.2 rblsmtpd echo whoops

It doesn't get through on my comp.

Heres what I get when I try it without any options from the command line:

root@xxxxxx:/usr/local/bin# env TCPREMOTEIP=127.0.0.2 rblsmtpd echo whoops
rblsmtpd: pid 6387: 451 Blackholed - see
<URL:http://mail-abuse.org/cgi-bin/lookup?127.0.0.2>
220 rblsmtpd.local
quit
221 rblsmtpd.local

So that appears to work.  Now, heres with the -r option:

root@xxxxxx:/usr/local/bin# env TCPREMOTEIP=127.0.0.2 rblsmtpd -r
maps.vix.com echo whoops
whoops

So with the -r option, it looks like it goes through.  I tried removing
the -r option from my tcpserver startup script and it doesn't seem to
help.  Still getting Nelsons friendly "UH OH!  Your RBL blocker isn't
working!!!"

The zone is ``rbl.maps.vix.com'', NOT simply ``maps.vix.com''. :)

You said you tried 

env TCPREMOTEIP=127.0.0.2 rblsmtpd echo "got thru"


but have you specifically tried

env TCPREMOTEIP=127.0.0.2 rblsmtpd -r rbl.maps.vix.com echo "got thru"

and got the "blackholed" notice?

That's because "maps.vix.com" is no RBL zone. You want 
dul.maps.vix.com or rbl.maps.vix.com.

hello all

I just had qmail 1.03 ucspi-88 on a RH box die on me again.

Log files seem to indicate that ident was having problems:

Jul 11 00:06:50 mail in.identd[19532]: request_thread: read(0, ..., 1023)
failed: Connection reset by peer

but there are other errors in the mail log, basically CNAME lookup
failures

Jul 11 07:58:30 mail qmail: 963316710.398974 status: local 0/100 remote
34/100
Jul 11 07:58:30 mail qmail: 963316710.443515 delivery 79822: deferral:
CNAME_lookup_failed_temporarily._(#4.4.3)/

It looks like supervise died, but when I tried to restart qmail it said it
was already running... I didn't see it in the ps output.

Any ideas?  Do I need to run DJB's DNS daemon also?  Thanks!

Could you elaborate on "die" ?

We get truck loads of them, and have never been associated with any
qmail trouble.

DNS lookups don't cause qmail to stop functioning, just defer mail.
supervise and qmail are different things entirely. supervise can stop 
and qmail will continue to function. The idea behind supervise is that 
it watches to see if qmail is running. If not, it starts it. If 
supervise stops running all you lose is the process checking that 
qmail is running. qmail itself is unaffected.

Are you sure qmail wasn't running? Did you find 'exiting' in the qmail
logs ? What else was in the logs ?

> Any ideas?  Do I need to run DJB's DNS daemon also?  Thanks!

It wouldn't be a bad idea though I doubt it's related to this 
problem!

Die= could not telnet to port 25 nor port 110 while other services (ssh,
http) worked fine.

I did not see any process entries for qmail-local, qmail-remote,
qmail-smtpd, etc.  No supervise, no nothing.  When I did a qmail.init
start it said it was running.

At 00:06:51 is did get several remote concurrencies of 95/100: 

Jul 11 00:06:51 mail qmail: 963288411.324240 status: local 0/100 remote
95/100

ADDRESS DELETED>..._User_unknown/Giving_up_on_209.142.136.251./

Then

Jul 11 00:46:26 mail qmail: 963290786.980592 status: local 0/100 remote
95/100
Jul 11 00:47:11 mail qmail: 963290831.710369 delivery 79150: deferral:
CNAME_lookup_failed_temporarily._(#4.4.3)/

Agian:

Jul 11 01:23:52 mail qmail: 963293032.426050 status: local 0/100 remote
96/100
Jul 11 01:25:05 mail qmail: 963293105.760403 delivery 79247: deferral:
CNAME_lookup_failed_temporarily._(#4.4.3)/

qmail goes through this 0-96-0 cycle 5 or 6 times.  Either getting a CNAME
failure or saying it delivered to remote.

Did I run out of resources?  Was someone jamming up the mail server with
huge mailings??

These tcpserver processes generate their own log information and run
independantly of qmail. Do their logs indicate why the processes
stopped ?

That delivery failed permanently; the message would have been bounced.

Are these deferrals for the same recipient? If there is a problem with
the DNS for the recipients domain you would see this happening. qmail
encounters a temporary error and the message is deferred to be retried
later.

Hmm. Is your trigger OK? This kind of cyclic all-nothing-all delivery
pattern is often caused by wrong modes on 
/var/qmail/queue/lock/trigger. They should look like

prw--w--w-  1 qmails  qmail  0 Jul 11 16:00 /var/qmail/queue/lock/trigger

> Did I run out of resources?  Was someone jamming up the mail server with

If so, qmail would log it before barfing. Did you actually find
'exiting' in the qmail logs?

james

I grepped the maillog and no exiting was found.

As for tcpserver logs, I don't log that info to speed up the server.... I
only get qmail messages.

I'm not sure about the triggers, but no one was logged in (that I could
find) and the only thing that I saw abnormal was the remote concurrency go
from 0-96 (first due to CNAME failures), then remote slowly declined to 0,
then it ramped back up to 96 with what appeared as remotes going through,
then it trickled down to 0, then back up to 96 with more remote
deliveries.

I never see concurrency remotes that high.. generally 20 is a big number..
that's why I think that has *something* to do with it.

Was it just one of those things???  I really don't see any errors other
than CNAME lookups....

Fair enough, that's your choice. Though I would suggest looking at
multilog (from daemontools). I find it very efficient.

I think it's quite likely you're seeing qmail merely retrying messages
it's had to defer because of DNS problems. Are the 96 messages destined
for addresses within the same domain? Or perhaps in domains served by
the same nameservers?

The scenario could have been something like:
1. qmail receives ~90 messages to be sent to domain X.
2. Domain X has dodgy DNS, messages all get deferred.
3. qmail waits a bit, and tries (all) the deferred messages again.
4. Repeat 2 and 3 until DNS problems get sorted.

DNS problems, especially those that manifest themselves as time-outs,
will lengthen how long a qmail-remote runs for each delivery
attempt. When they run for longer more of them are likely to be 
running concurrently.

james

All the messages were going to different places, as farb as I can tell
they were very large cc lists.

Will wait for ti to happen again and get better logging... set up

Read the man pages that come with the package.  They are very complete.
If you *still* have questions, then ask the list.

We're not mind readers (well, maybe Dave Sill is).  Try explaining the
following if you expect to get a response:

-how you installed qmail
-how you're running qmail (startup script, tcpserver, inetd, etc)
-what behaviour you expected
-what behaviour you're actually seeing
-what the qmail logs say
-what you've already tried to diagnose or fix the problem

The people on this list are too busy to try to guess what you did, and what
you did wrong.  You have to do your homework before you can expect others
to help you with your problems.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply - ALL i needed was a little direction - 

OK  Qmail installed with mysql patch from Softagency - everything there
work - ie pop3 and smtp works the sstem is running .

the startup script is as follows:

Meaning what?  Individual messages take a while to complete?  You have a lot
of messages in the queue?  There's always a lot of qmail processes running?
I don't see a problem here (yet) from the information you've given.

These control files only help if you're not bottlenecked elsewhere in your
system.
 
So you think you're running into a performance problem?  Try answering some
of the following:

-what hardware (CPU/memory/type and number of disks) are you running on?
-what OS and filesystem for the queue (/var/qmail/queue)
-is the queue on its own disk?  is it on a raid partition?  are local
deliveries on a raid partition, or a NetApp, or on the same disk as the
queue?  Is /var/log on a separate disk?
-how many local deliveries a day are you doing?  How many remote deliveries
a day?  What network connectivity are you seeing?
-are you running with Russell Nelson's big-todo patch?
-why do you think you have a performance problem?  What does the output
of `mailq` show?

Okay, now we're starting to get enough information.  The problem is that
injection of mail via SMTP (from clients on your local network(s), 
presumably) seems slow.

You did already post the startup scripts you were using for qmail, but I've
misplaced that email.  Are you using tcpserver?  If so, are you disabling
identd lookups and name lookups on the remote host (options -H and -R to
tcpserver)?  That will save you some time on each connect.

What is the contents of /var/qmail/control/timeoutsmtpd ? It defaults to
1200 seconds.  If you've set this much lower, your clients could timeout
if they pause while sending mail.

hi all,

i am in the process of applying the ldap patch to qmail. but while i am looking at 
qmail-ldap.h, i don't know exactly what to put in the fields... like LDAP_MAIL, should 
i just put the ldap user's email account (meaning only one...)?
and could anyone pls explain a little how qmail-ldap works without creating local 
accounts? or do we have to write scripts to do create them on the mailhost once we got 
information from ldap and that such homedir does not exists on the mailhost?
also what mechanism should i use to deliver the mail once i found my mailhost? should 
i let qmail do it, or should i just write to nfs??
i've searched the discussions and i found a msg saying that the "to" field needs to be 
rewritten b4 sending to the mailhost. how can this be done?

so many qustions... thanx very much, but i am so eager to set this up asap!

manuel.

Hi,
I am confused with SunOS 5.6 and solaris8. Can anybody tell me the difference between these 2 Operating systems.

Thank you

SunOS 5.6 is otherwise known as Solaris 2.6.  Solaris OS's progress since
2.6 like this:
 
2.6 -> 7 -> 8
 
As of release 7, they dropped the "2." off the front.  So Solaris 8 is
really just Solaris 2.8.  2.6 is 2 revs below 2.8.

Hi,
I want to take a backup of 2GB of data. I want to make a tar file of it. Now
when i am making a tar file it gives error after backing up 2GB of data. It
says file is too large. Please help

Thank you





This is absolutely off-topic.
Anyway, Intel architeture has a 2GB file size limit.

IF I want to add redirection to multiple addresses in a user's .qmail, how would I go 
about doing that? If I separate them line by line will that work?

eg:

&[EMAIL PROTECTED]
&[EMAIL PROTECTED]
&[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Yes, just like it says in the manual page for dot-qmail.

Perhaps somebody can tell me how to deal with this: apparently a dynamic
IP connected to my server and dropped a message in one of the mailinglists's
mailbox.  Or this is not a dynamic IP, but  nonexistent one, and qmail got
fooled somehow?

It doesn't seem to have working reverse DNS.

maybe [james] (~)> host 207.100.21.156

It's an address without a valid reverse lookup -- common enough.  The only
thing I see different about this spam is that it's individually addressed
to the mailing list, so it shows up in the To: header and the envelope
recipient.  If this is the case, there's no real way to distinguish this
from legitimate email, unless you can catch it with the DUL.

I do run rblsmtpd with dul.  The IP (207.100.21.156) does not exist---this
is why I thought it is a dynamic IP.  How do I figure out which domain owns
it? 

And is it possible that this IP is not connecting IP (could tcpserver be
fooled)?

As others have pointed out, the IP address does exist.  Two other gentlemen
were kind enough to post the name of the ISP that owns it.  Have you tried
reporting this to that ISP's abuse desk?

Not really.  That's the IP address that the kernel thinks the connection is
coming from.  If it's not really coming from that address, it's a hijacked
connection -- difficult under a 'real' OS.

We recently converted our sendmail box to qmail.  I've noticed that our
queue is now typically 2 to 3 times larger than it was with sendmail.  I
believe much of that is related to using vpopmail, which doesn't bounce
the message until it has been accepted by the smtpd daemon.  This, of
course, means the message is now stuck in the queue attempting to bounce
back to some spammer's non-existent address.

However, there also seems to be quite a few more messages deferred to
remote hosts that are having problems (failed SMTP, failed after
delivery, etc.).  I realize these are not qmail issues, but I'm curious
why I didn't see this many messages building up under sendmail.  Does
qmail have different criteria for which messages it continues to try?

Thanks,
Ben

eliminate
the access denied error, but then x_bit set error came. this was funny -
i think one of the sysad changed the .qmails to 700 ... arghh!!!!

now it's okay. thanks guys. tomorrow.. i'll have to answer to the

hello list,

after running qmail for 8 weeks now without any trouble so far, qmail
starts driving me crazy today !

i am running a webserver with qmail as mailsystem. furthermore i am running
my own named. i set up mydomain.com correctly in named with the following
subdomains:

mx.mydomain.com  IN CNAME mydomain.com
ftp.mydomain.com IN CNAME mydomain.com
www.......

named runs without any trouble and works correctly.

/var/qmail/controls/virtualdomains contains the following:

mydomain.com:georg
www.mydomain.com:georg

now, the problem is the following:

sending an email to <anything>@mydomain.com ends in an errormsg
by qmail saying :"sorry, no mailbox by this name", although i
put mydomain.com into virtualdomains.

sending an email to <anything>@www.mydomain.com works perfectly.
replacing with "www" by i.e. "ftp" or "mx" in virtualdomains works,
too.

i am using qmail with qmail's own pop3d, not vpopmail.

i have checked through all my configfiles, but i can't find any
mis-configuration. unfortunately my system worked well since 
tonight, although i DID NOT alter any of the configfiles.

somebody who can help me or give me a hint where to start my
investigation ?

That sounds like a problem in the home directory
for the user 'georg'  Those are the easiest ones to
mess up too since they're not in the qmail config directory.
Did you possibly remove or change any of your .qmail files?
Like a .qmail-default?  Try putting a .qmail-default
in georg's home directory that contains ./Maildir/ or
whatever storage mechanism you use, or even an address to
forward all the mail to someone else.  Also, make sure you
don't have any of those domains in /var/qmail/control/locals
that may be moving that mail somewhere before your
virtualdomains file is consulted...

What DNS records are for mydomain.com?
Can you mail me real domain name?

no, i didn't change anything. yesterday everything worked

in the morning.

yes, i have "/home/georg/Maildir/" in .qmail and a forwardemail-
address in .qmail-default. works correctly for all subdomains
except for <anything>@mydomain.com.

> don't have any of those domains in /var/qmail/control/locals

no, they are not present there.

I poked around a bit, and there's a (much) earlier thread on this list about
running stunnel under tcpserver--apparently the reason stunnel and tcpserver
don't (didn't?) get along is that stunnel wants to be argv[0]. There's a
patch for stunnel (from 1998, so it probably needs to be modified for the
current version). There's also an argv0 program that comes with ucspi-tcp
that also looks like it would solve the problem. Finally, there are a few
sample startup scripts that imply that that's not really a problem anymore,
and stunnel and tcpserver coexist fine.

>From searching the archive at <http://www-archive.ornl.gov:8000/> for
"tcpserver stunnel":

A message describing the problem, which sounds like what I saw, is at:
<http://www.ornl.gov/its/archives/mailing-lists/qmail/1998/09/msg00723.html>

The message with the (old) patch:
<http://www.ornl.gov/its/archives/mailing-lists/qmail/1998/09/msg00743.html>

A very informative message from this May, with a cool stunnel startup
script, implying that stunnel will indeed run under tcpserver:
<http://www.ornl.gov/its/archives/mailing-lists/qmail/2000/05/msg01621.html>

That last message also implies that qmail-smtpd will run under stunnel
without modification. I'll try these things out when I get a chance, and
report back to y'all.

I'd guess that DJB feels it's better left up to a separate program, but I'm
sure there are others more qualified to give an opinion--anyone?

- Bradey





from the tcpserver man pages...

-llocalname
          Do not look up the local host name; use  localname  for
          TCPLOCALHOST.

Does this mean that it queries our DNS server for the local
host's name during inbound mail delivery?

If so, an    -l`hostname`    would probably be quicker and
lighten load on the DNS server, right?

Yes. This may come in handy when you have multiple interfaces.

Hmm none, therefore. And the implementations all suffer the same problem -
triggering bounce handlers. Too bad.

Hello All,

Are there any scripts out there that will convert from Imail type mailboxes (mbox) to 
Maildir, while keeping the message intact? I don't want emails with the message header 
as part of the body.. What are my options with using let's say, qmail-inject if I have 
the to:,cc:,bcc: could I dump messages into the right Maildirs without actually 
sending the ccs and bccs out?

Any ideas?

J




Anyone have any thoughts on the best way to convert between Imail-style mbox to 
Maildir?  I want to keep the message header intact so that it doesn't appear as part 
of the email body.  I'm open to writing a script that grabs the To:,Cc: & Subject: 
sections out of the header and using qmail-inject to toss them into the right 
maildirs.  All I want to make sure is that Qmail doesn't attempt to mail all the ccs & 
bccs if I do it that way..  Will qmail-inject attempt to make mail deliveries?

J




Hello,
everyone.

I'm using qmail+vpopmail+mysql
I place a .qmail in ~vpopmail/domains/domainname/username/ directory
(this is username's home directory)
and write .qmail file like this

!egerp -qw '(word1|word2|word3)' && exit 99;
/Maildir/

But it does not work!
any letter with word1 or without it
can be send to my email

anyone have some advertises?
or someone tell me where to found a whole document about .qmail file
or another way to filter incoming email by user.

Thanks a lot.

Any suggestions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] are welcome.


Sincerely yours,
David

I may be mistaken, but isn't 99 the exit code that tells qmail to stop parsing .qmail? 
Also, you should put ./Maildir/, not /Maildir/

Hello,
everyone.

1st, sorry for my previous mail, I make a mistake in it. 


I'm using qmail+vpopmail+mysql
I place a .qmail in ~vpopmail/domains/domainname/username/ directory
(this is username's home directory)
and write .qmail file like this

[root@mail davidge]# cat .qmail

But it does not work!
any letter with word1 or without it

Try moving the dot-qmail file up one directory (under the domainname), and
rename it to .qmail-davidge

This is how I have it on my system.

David,

TRy putting the .qmail file into the ~vpopmail/domains/domainname/
directory instead.
Hope this helps.

Actually vpopmail supports putting a .qmail file in ~vpopmail/domains/dom/u
BUT it only supports putting ``&[EMAIL PROTECTED]''. To do pipes and
other .qmail tricks, you'll need to do the above, move it into
~vpopmail/domains/dom/ and rename it to .qmail-u.

First, its missing a dot before the /Maildir/... there's no Maildir in /, is
there?

Second, I'm not very familiar with egrep's regular expressions, but if I was
to parenthise what you wrote it would seem to me that egrep would read it as

(word(1|w)ord(2|w)ord3)

Which sure isn't what you intended it to do. Perhaps you meant

(word1)|(word2)|(word3)

Hi Everyone

This is real URGENT.....

We just installed a new qmail server with virtual domains... and now to our
surprise.... no logs files are being generated ( in /var/log/qmail).

Also In /var/log/qmail-smtpd the log file says... TCP server fatal
error..unable to bind to address.. address already in use....

Please note that however all the mails are working perfectly fine and we
are able to send emails to our users and also to the internet.... including
the Virtual domains that we had setup...

Would apprecite if anyone could help us.. REAL FAST...

Thanks
Lokesh






Hello,
everyone.

Now, It seemed worked
but all emails (with or without word1 ...) are returned
the returned email said 

<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1)

I had put it to ~vpopmail/domains/domainname directory and change name to 
qmail-davidge , It dose not work too.


I'm using qmail+vpopmail+mysql
I place a .qmail in ~vpopmail/domains/domainname/username/ directory
(this is username's home directory)
and write .qmail file like this

[root@mail davidge]# cat .qmail
|egrep -qw '(word1|word2|word3)' && exit 99 || exit 0
/Maildir/
[root@mail davidge]# ls -al
total 5
drwx------   3 vpopmail vchkpw       1024 Jul 12 10:02 .
drwx------  46 vpopmail vchkpw       2048 Jul  5 23:43 ..
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root         65 Jul 12 10:02 .qmail
drwx------   9 vpopmail vchkpw       1024 Jul 12 10:00 Maildir
[root@mail davidge]# pwd
/mail/domains/1stchina.com/davidge



anyone have some advertises?
or someone tell me where to found a whole document about .qmail file
or another way to filter incoming email by user.

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

E-Mail content and subject filters to plug-in into .qmail files can be
found on my Web-page:

htttp://www.fehcom.de/qmail_en.html

But never, never use those plug-ins for /alias/.qmail-postmaster and
./alias/.qmail-root since they have to take care about bounces.

cheers.
eh.

Hi, All

The priblem with NT is solved: Our boss gave us a new computer
(Celeron) which is much faster than our previus one (i386 HP Vectra).
So it was a problem with stupid hardware.

Hi,
Is qmail a cluster aware application. How can we create cluster on our
system using qmail on Red Hat Linux 5.2 or 6.2
Please give your feed back.
Thanks.

What do you mean by cluster aware? A qmail-solution with Maildirs over NFS
for example, is quite scalable and could be considered a cluster in many
ways.

You might want to state your question a bit more specific :)

Hi, here some command need to run after install openssl and stunnel. It's provided by 
my friend Wu Hui, who is a CA fan. Hope it's useful to you. :)

-HuangChun

1.generate the digital certificate:
private key is stored into file "test1key.pem"£¬
the content of certificate is stored into file "test1req.pem"

#cd /usr/local/ssl
#./bin/openssl req -new -keyout test1key.pem -out test1req.pem

2.Issue the digital certificate:

#cd /usr/local/ssl
# ./bin/openssl ca -policy policy_anything -infiles test1req.pem

3.save the certificate got from step 2 into the directory used by stunnel

4.check the content of certificate£º
#cd the directory of step 4 
# /usr/local/ssl/bin/openssl x509 -in 03.pem -text

5.get the password of private key
#cd /usr/local/ssl
#./bin/openssl rsa -in test1key.pem -out testkey.pem

6.modify the password of private key
#cd /usr/local/ssl
#./bin/openssl rsa -in test1key.pem -out testkey.pem -des3

7.start pop3d with stunnel:
#stunnel -d pop3s -p /usr/local/ssl/certs/stunnel.pem -l /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup 
...
-l is followed by the command used in inetd.conf for pop3d daemon.
