Relaying? I always send direct to the target MX, without going through
my ISP (i.e., no smart host).

Perhaps you mean that some of your target MXs use dial-up users lists,
which block all IP addresses known to be dynamically-allocated. Feel
free to send a test message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], its MX is a machine
I control, and it only blocks on the RBL.

You can masquerade, as you realised. You can also use smart hosts,

Hi there,

How can I add additional date info to multilog file ?

For example,

I use

exec /usr/local/bin/setuidgid qmaill /usr/local/bin/multilog t s500 n20 
/var/log/qmail/qmail-smtpd

for logging of qmail-smtpd.

RE: virtual domain

2000-07-27 Thread Brett Randall


 /var/qmail/control (not /var/qmail). /etc/aliases has nothing
 to do with qmail. You haven't detailed your mailbox structure,

Of course, if you're coming from a sendmail background and enjoy the use of
a centralised aliases file and a few (IMHO) nice options that are available,
then try out fastforward, the sendmail aliases 'wrapper' for qmail. It makes
virtual domains pretty easy to handle as well. Take a look

 Kamal,

 It's virtualdomains (not virtualdomain) you want, and this is in
 but typically, once you've setup virtualdomains, add a file
 .qmail-default to user1's home directory, containing
 delivery instructions, such as
  ./Maildir/
 assuming you've got a Maildir setup for the user (maildirmake)...

 If you haven't read it yet, checkout Dave Sill's Life with qmail,
 which is an excellent qmail primer - web.infoave.net/~dsill/lwq.html.

Well, its not a very standard thing to do, but try a quick mod of tai64nfrac
or similar. Shouldn't be too hard to do... Just pipe the logs through that,
or even mod multilog so that the current date-writing code just also adds
your own date format to it. I'm no hardcore programmer but from my

Sorry, I probably didn´t explain myself well. I have a mail queue called
domain.es and it´s directory is /var/spool/queue/domain.es In this directory,
I have a .qmail-default, amongst the new, cur and tmp directory. Anything
that goes to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" goes to the "new" directory, unless there
is a .qmail-x file for the user it is being sent to. The user wants to have
his mail sent at "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" BUT this E-Mail has to split to two parts,
one has to be the "new" directory so that it goes to the queue reciever, and
the other has to go to his own mail account in the same server. So, I have
created a file called .qmail-user and in this file I have placed
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and on a new line, I have placed "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". The
problem is that th message loops, and does not go to the "new" directory. So,
when I send a message to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" it goes to his own mail account,
and tries to go to the queue, only that the file ".qmail-user" is for
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]", so the message loops... ...it tries to get sent to itself
over and over again. How could I solve this ?

qmail-1.03 on Solaris is broken

2000-07-27 Thread Toens Bueker


Hi *,

sorry for nagging you all with this one again, but I
really have to find out what is happening here.

An unmodified qmail-installation on this machine (and all
other Suns I could test)

SunOS namehere 5.7 Generic_106541-10 sun4u sparc SUNW,UltraSPARC-IIi-cEngine

breaks, when I try to relay mails through it very fast
(using smtpstone) with this error

data 451 qq trouble creating files in queue (#4.3.0)

under the following conditions
- no waiting between the mails
- the queue resides on an unmirrored disk

By setting a waiting time of one second or by moving the
queue to a mirrored disk, I can stop qmail doing this.

Here are my questions:

- is there anybody using qmail on Solaris 7 (as a heavy duty mail relay)?
- has anybody tested his qmail installation on Solaris 7
  with smtpstone (included in the postfix snapshot)?
- has anybody a similar setup, which he could use to try
  and reproduce the error?

Thanx.

This appears to a case where qmail and procmail disagree about the
meaning of "success". See the link above. Basically, what's happening
is that the procmail delivery failed for some reason (see procmail's
logs), but procmail isn't returning an exit status that qmail
interprets as indicating a failure.

Further, eventhough I've symlinked `binmail' to the
/var/qmail/bin/sendmail binary.

Huh? binmail should be calling /usr/lib/sendmail, which should be
linked to /var/qmail/bin/sendmail. Linking /var/qmail/bin/sendmail to
binmail is wrong.

And symlinked ~/Mailbox to the normal
FreeBSD delivery inbox /var/mail/reader.

 OK, I think I have my firewall masquerading the firewall

 I'm getting connection rejects, when I try to telnet to

 25 on the qmail box, right?

If your firewall is set up right, it should.  Does your qmail box
accept connections on port 25 at all?  While logged into your qmail box,
type 'telnet localhost 25'.  If you get connection refused, then you aren't
running qmail-smtpd properly.  If your connection is accepted and you get
the SMTP banner, then test the firewall's port 25 again.  If the first
suceeds and the second fails, then the firewall is probably not configured
correctly.

 I'm not sure that it's the qmail box that's causing the 
 problem, but is there anything I need to do to allow smtp
 connections from the internet?

Not on the connection level.  Once you get port 25 responding to the
outside world, you may need to tweak your configuration as far  as rcpthosts
and relaying goes, but first let's get plain old connectivity going.

Transparent proxying of outgoing e-mail

2000-07-27 Thread Robert J. Munro


People sometimes visit our office and connect to the office network. They
are able to receive their POP3 mail through the Masquerading on our
server/gateway, which is running linux. If they try to send mail, they
can't because there normal provider-provided smtp server will not accept
mail from our IP address.

Linux IPChains has an option called redirect, which is designed for putting
transparent web caches on networks. Could I use this to trap attempts to go
to an outside mail server, and redirect them to the local qmail, where
there message can be queued and forwarded as normal, or would qmail not
like e-mails that think they are going to another server?

You can do that.

1. You set up qmail as open-relay.
2. You let qmail-smtpd listen at (say) port 26.
3. You block access to port 26 (well, you may open it for internal 
hosts, but you don't have to).
4. You redirect outgoing port-25 packets to your port 26.
5. You use a simple patch for tcpclient to correctly obtain

As long as tcpserver is configured to set the RELAYCLIENT variable to "" for
clients connecting from within your LAN, qmail will happily accept their
email, regardless of where its going.

Redirecting connections from inside your network to machines outside your
network on port 25 to go to your SMTP server instead is a good idea; some
enlightened ISPs do this for their dialup banks.

Re: Want to know your potential multiple recipient savings?

2000-07-27 Thread Bruce Guenter


On Tue, Jul 25, 2000 at 01:23:18PM -0600, Bruce Guenter wrote:
 I have written a benchmark that iterates over message sizes from 1000 to
 64000 bytes, and from 1 to 16 recipients, and times how long it takes to
 send the same message to all the recipients using qmail-remote.  It
 calls qmail-remote once with all the recipients (multi-RCPT), and once
 for each recipient (multi-connection).  I only have preliminary results
 so far, and I plan to run a more complete set of tests tonight after I
 leave work.  I'll post my full results and scripts once I've completed
 the tests.

As promised, I've posted the results of the benchmark testing at
http://em.ca/~bruceg/bench-qmail-remote/

The receiving server is my PC, which has a DSL connection running at
about 1.5Mb downlink bandwidth (the part that was actually used) running
qmail, of course.  The "-cable-" results were sent from a cable modem
which has approximately 384Kb uplink bandwidth.  the "-2Mb-" results
were sent from a partial DS3 with 2Mb of bandwidth.  The receiver had
its concurrency set to 128.

20 runs were done of each test, 10 with one connection with multiple
recipients, and 10 with multiple connections with one recipient.  The
min and max columns give the fastest and shortest run times
respectively; mean is (T1*T2*T3...*T10)**(1/10); avg is
(T1+T2+T3+...+T10)/10.  The mean is less biased by unrepresentative
results, and so is a better measure of the common case.

Conclusions are somewhat tricky.  Using mutiple RCPTs tends to be more
predictable (less of a spread between min and max), but using multiple
connections has the best optimistic behaviour (min is lower than
multi-RCPT's min).  With small messages (4KB and less), multi-connection
is always a win.  On our mail proxy, the median message size is 3KB,
just for comparison.  On the well-connected sender, using multi-RCPTs
was never a significant win, which proves DJB's hypothesis about its use
for well-connected hosts.  Once bandwidth limits become an issue (poorly
connected server, large messages), multi-RCPTs win because the latency
involved in sending one more RCPT becomes less than the additional time
required to send another concurrent copy.

This says nothing about bandwidth efficiency, only time efficiency.
Obviously, using multi-RCPTs is always a bandwidth win (unless your
recipient is larger than your message, highly unlikely).

Feedback would be appreciated.  Oh, and please don't consider the test

  hi all,
  why my qmail server set a date different to local date???
  I red the faq #6.1, but if i set up this row :
  "set sendmail=/usr/bin/sendmail in mail.rc it doesn't work.
  Any idea???

It doesn't; but it's representing it in GMT rather than the local
timezone (note the "+" after it; that's the timezone indicator).

Qmail doesn't use the standard C library, because of security and
performance concerns.  There is no widely portable way to get the
local timezone information without using the standard C library, so
it's not easy to change this behavior without potentially compromising
security.

Rejecting mail from outside for a specific user

2000-07-27 Thread Bryan Ischo



Hi all.

I have a question which may have been answered elsewhere, but I didn't
find an answer in the FAQ, and I can't think of search terms specific
enough to locate an answer in the mailing list archives.

So I apologize in advance if this has been answered already.

We have been using qmail for our company for nearly a year now.
Everything has been working 100% flawlessly.  So there is no problem
to speak of.  But a recent policy decision now requires me to make
some mail aliases unavailable to the outside world.  Specifically,
we have a mail alias set up (via the fastfoward program, in the
/etc/aliases file) which sends mail to everyone in the company.

We would like this alias to be unavailable to anyone sending mail
from outside the company.

Thus, we would like to configure qmail somehow so that it will
accept mail for a given address only if the mail was sent from
inside our own intranet.

Can anyone point to me the best and easiest way to do this?
I would need to somehow check the IP address of the remote host
sending the mail, and the To: address to the mail, and I am not
sure where in the qmail process these two pieces of information
are readily available.

Thank you!
Bryan

Thanks, that was it. The firewall was not port forwarding correctly.
I thought that linux's ipchains did that, but one needs another kernel module,
ipmasqadm.
The following 2 commands did the trick:

ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -R 192.168.1.100 25 -L 207.178.203.67 25
ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L 192.168.1.100 25 -R 207.178.203.67
25  

Thank you all for the excellent support.

 If your firewall is set up right, it should.  Does your qmail box
 accept connections on port 25 at all?  While logged into your qmail box,
 type 'telnet localhost 25'.  If you get connection refused, then you aren't
 running qmail-smtpd properly.  If your connection is accepted and you get
 the SMTP banner, then test the firewall's port 25 again.  If the first
 suceeds and the second fails, then the firewall is probably not configured
 correctly.
 
  I'm not sure that it's the qmail box that's causing the
  problem, but is there anything I need to do to allow smtp

 Not on the connection level.  Once you get port 25 responding to the
 outside world, you may need to tweak your configuration as far  as rcpthosts
 and relaying goes, but first let's get plain old connectivity going.

Re: qmail-1.03 on Solaris is broken


A scan of the sources reveals that that error message is generated
from the follow C code:

if (chdir("queue") == -1) die(62);

The reasons why that could fail are pretty limited in the qmail
scenario.

o   The directory does not exist - installation error?
o   The file system is flaky - fsck?
o   The queue is on an NFS server - not allowed with qmail
o   The process does not have permission - installation error?

Hmmm, that's all I can think of right now.

There's a simpler way. If you use tcpserver (as opposed to tcp-env)

10.*.*.* is your internal network):

10.:allow,INTERNAL="yes"

Thank you Chris.  Actually I am not running tcpserver to start qmail;
my line from inetd.conf looks like this:

smtpstream  tcp nowait  qmaild  /usr/sbin/tcpd \
/var/qmail/bin/tcp-env /var/qmail/bin/selective.sh smtpd

Here is selective.sh:

--
#!/bin/bash

ADDR=${TCPREMOTEIP##63.75.128.}

if [ -z $ADDR ]; then
unset RELAYCLIENT
elif [ $ADDR = 127.0.0.1 ]; then
export RELAYCLIENT=""
elif [ $ADDR = $TCPREMOTEIP ]; then
unset RELAYCLIENT
elif [ $ADDR -lt 130 -o $ADDR -gt 254 ]; then
unset RELAYCLIENT
else
export RELAYCLIENT=""
fi

/var/qmail/bin/qmail-$1
--

I didn't want to install tcpserver when I first installed qmail, so I
came up with the above script instead, which, while probably not the
most efficient thing in the world (starting a new bash shell for every
incoming mail!), works great.

But I can just add extra code to my selective.sh script to set the
INTERNAL variable myself, and then use the bouncesaying program as
you have described.

Thank you for the pointer!

Best wishes,

Well, if your definition of internal hosts just means the same set

single username and multiple domains

2000-07-27 Thread Robert Spraggs


Hello all,

I was wondering if I could get some help with a small problem I have.

I have tried to find some documentation on how to configure a single 
username to be used with multiple domains. an example would be:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] goes to user1
[EMAIL PROTECTED] goes to user2
[EMAIL PROTECTED] goes to user3

All domains and users are on one server and are considered local by qmail.

unfortunately if I put the domains in the virtualdomains file than nothing 
is delivered to the local users.

I'm sure the answer is easy, but I cannot find it yet.

Thanks for your help.

! sure where in the qmail process these two pieces of information

At delivery time, the target address is in $RECIPIENT, the incoming IP

message.

10.:allow,INTERNAL="yes"

|bouncesaying "You can't send to this address" [ -z "$INTERNAL" ]

I haven't tested the above, but that's the basic gist of it.

You should have tested it, since it doesn't work.  Tcpserver hands its
environment variables to smtpd, but bouncesaying is called much later
in the process from a different program that doesn't inherit the
environment variables.

What I'd do is to put the restricted addresses into .qmail files that
look like this:

| check-local-origin
user1
list2
...

And I'd write a little perl script called check-local origin that
reads its input until it finds a "Received: from" header, checks the
IP in that header to see if it's a local one, and returns 0 if it's OK,
otherwise prints "Restricted internal list, go away\n" and returns 100.

I use something like that to keep people from spoofing mail into the
lists that majordomo controls here.

D'oh, of course. (Sorry, Bryan.) tcpserver can't touch qmail-lspawn, so
of course .qmail files can't see variables set by tcpserver.

! And I'd write a little perl script called check-local origin that

I appreciate that this is probably the only way to extract the sending
IP address, but it can't work if you have untrusted local users who can
insert arbitrary Received fields. Of course, in Bryan's case this is a
nonissue since he does want local users to be able to send.

There's got to be a ``badrcptto'' option in qmail-smtpd. Back in my
sendmail days, I wrote some rules that prohibited sending to class F
addresses unless you're from localhost, and a trusted user (i.e., in
class t), with majordomo being a trusted user.

! I use something like that to keep people from spoofing mail into the
! lists that majordomo controls here.

Since you mention majordomo, I presume this isn't version 1.*, right?
The triviality of spoofing majordomo 1 subscription cookies has been

What might be the problem, the ./configure finds the gcc and says it works fine..

Re: orbs.org accuses qmail of mailbomb relaying!

Oups, you're correct!

I am still on 1.01 on some mail servers and that has

void err_seenmail() { out("503 one MAIL per message (#5.5.1)\r\n"); }

void smtp_mail(arg) char *arg; {
 if (seenmail) { err_seenmail(); return; }
 [ ... ]
}

qmail-1.03 doesn't have this limitation.

bare LFs and fixcrio ramifications

2000-07-27 Thread Jon Rust


I've really gotten tired of trying to explain to lusers that their mail
program is broken. Most don't understand (avg IQ is only 100) and just
hang-up pissed off. I finally caved and added fixcrio to my qmail-smtpd
incantation. Now that I've given in, what can I expect to break that
wasn't broken before?

Here's my qmail-smtpd run script for svscan (basically pilfered and
modified from LWQ... thanks Dave!):

#!/bin/sh
QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaild`
NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild`
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 200 \
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -Rv -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c 100\
-u $QMAILDUID -g $NOFILESGID 0 smtp /usr/local/bin/rblsmtpd -b -t2\

Unable to check e-mail....

2000-07-27 Thread Bolivar Diaz


I had a DS0 with 64K bandwith, in which I had the addresses 200.38.239.64
255.255.255.224, I just got a new E1 with 256K bandwidth in which they gave
me the addresses 148.243.144.0 255.255.255.128 (I have both block working on
my LAN now). My problem, if I assign an ip addrees of the new block, I can't
check my e-mail, I can't telnet to port 110 to the qmail server.

I moved the qmail server to one of the new addresses, and still doesn't
work.

Can anybody help me on this???

Thanks

I am using inet.d perhaps changing to tcpserver will help. Can anybody give
me an example of a configuration line to use tcpserver instead of inet.d...

Thanks,

 Note quite as clean an answer I'm afraid.

Maybe I wasn't precise enough:

The error appears on the mentioned Solaris 7 machines with 
plain unmodified qmail-1.03 and patched qmail-1.03 alike.

On the Solaris 2.6 machine both a plain unmodified qmail-1.03
and the same patched version I used on the other machines, did not
produce the error.

Another hint might be, that the error does not show up on a disk pair, that
is mirrored and striped using SDS.

  BTW.: I just edited /usr/include/sys/select.h (changing
  1024 to 4096),
 
 Ug. That is not the correct way of doing it.
 
 Did you read the comments immediately preceeding the line
 that you changed? It tells you the correct way to do this.

Hm. From what I remember, qmail didn't care about my settings in
/etc/system, ulimit, etc. That's why I change select.h during
compilation and then change it back.

It should illustrate, that the number of open files is most probably not the
reason for the error.

  Another hint could be the fact, that the mails, which
  remain in the queue after the first crash seem to be stuck
 
 Well, that must be different mail as the mail submission that
 causes your error never gets into the queue.

I just checked it again. The mails were delivered at least. So that was not
connected to the problem.

 FWIW. Plenty of people, including myself have run very busy qmail
 systems on various Solaris versions and not encountered this
 problem.

That's what I expected when I started off - 'qmail on Solaris 7, 
shouldn't be a problem'. But have you tested your server with smtpstone? The
error doesn't show up in the qmail-smtpd or qmail-send logs. It just
produces the '451' error  - already the next mail will be
accepted and be delivered.

I just think, that it is worthwile to find out, where the Solaris bug or
misconfiguration is, to prevent others from waisting their time with this
stuff. Even if it means to downgrade to Solaris 2.6 or upgrade to Solaris 8.

I'd be grateful, if you could tell me where to look for hints, what the
problem could be. How I could make qmail more verbose, etc.

Thanx.

You might try subscribing and posting this to the vpopmail mailing list (at

your environment (OS? Architecture? Version of GCC? c.) if you hope to get
