[qmail 1.03]
I have domain.com and sub.domain.com
Mail for anyone at "@domain.com" should be mapped to "user1"
Mail for anyone at "@sub.domain.com" should be mapped to "user2"
I've tried putting:
sub.domain.com
domain.com
(in that order) into rcpthosts and virtualdomains, but it appears qmail
doesn't recognize mail sent to sub.domain.com (or rather, it sends it to
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]", which I've in the ".qmail-default" file in the
alias/ directory).
What am I doing wrong?

You need to read the documentation. Start with FAQ 3.2. This is a
straightforward virtual domain setup.
Chris
Your files should be like this:
rcpthosts:
domain.com
sub.domain.com
virtualdomains:
domain.com:user1
sub.domain.com:user2

Aye. That part is configured correctly.
The message is (as I said previously), however, sent to the contents of the
.qmail-default file in the alias/ directory (in my case, [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
Looking at the message sent to postmaster, it shows that it has been sent to
user2. For some reason, it appears that qmail cannot deliver the message to
user2 and thus goes to deliver it to the .qmail-default contents (alias/).
I wonder why it cannot deliver it. When previously had file/directory permission
problems, qmail would complain.. but it doesn't do that now.

try mailing directly to user2 first. The problem probably lies there.

Did you remember to kill -HUP qmail-send, and possibly run
qmail-newu if you've been changing /etc/passwd?

Is there a way to cause certain email addresses to be denied by qmail? for
instance i have a user [EMAIL PROTECTED] whom I do not want to receive ANY smtp
email. I guess what im looking for is something like a
/var/qmail/control/BADMAILTO (if it existed).
regards,
Jason

I think you'd have to patch qmail-smtpd to deny him smtp mail but not mail
injected by other means. To deny him any mail at all, put this in users/assign:
=fred:alias:101:101:/var/qmail/alias:-:fred:
(Substitute alias's uid and gid for the 101s.)
To bounce fred's mail, put the following in ~alias/.qmail-fred:
| bouncesaying "Fred isn't allowed to receive mail."
To silently drop fred's mail, put a single # in ~alias/.qmail-fred.
Another way to stop fred's mail is to set his uid to 0 (not recommended).

You are correct in deducing that the 30 second delay is an ident
timeout.
The solution is to either open up Ident on the firewall or turn off the
ident lookup. If you're using tcpserver (ucspi), there are several options:
-r (Default.) Attempt to obtain TCPREMOTEINFO from
the remote host.
-R Do not attempt to obtain TCPREMOTEINFO from the
remote host.
-ttimeout
Give up on the TCPREMOTEINFO connection attempt
after timeout seconds. Default: 26.
If you're not using tcpserver, check the manual for whatever you're
using (inetd?).

Unfortunately, the selective pressures on spammers are considerably
stronger than on sysadmins. Thus, a sufficient number of hosts boucing
messages with some syntactic flaw will rapidly lead to changes in bulk
mailers/spammers. Sysadmins will meanwhile throw out a few babies with
the bath water.

All cron's I know daemonize themselves (by, say, double-forking and
disassociating themselves from their ctty). Hence: no.

Probably, but I'd recommend fixing the root problem by replacing your
cron with something more robust. I had the same problem under
Solaris-2.5.1, and replaced the system cron with another version called
"dcron":
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/daemons/cron/dcron-2.3.3.tar.gz
As it turns out, something I did was causing cron to die periodically,
but I still like the new one better:
a. I can schedule jobs to run every 5 minutes starting 3 minutes after
the hour by using something like this in the "minutes" field: 3-58/5
b. I use accustamp, tailocal, and cyclog to handle all logging, so I
don't have to restart cron just to clean up log files.
c. It's written very cleanly, and it's smaller than Vixie-cron.
I had to add some code to make it work under Solaris. If anyone's
interested, let me know.

I was thrown out of college for cheating on the metaphysics
exam; I looked into the soul of the boy next to me. --Woody Allen
Hi! I'm experiencing an interesting error with an account on my RH6.0
box. When he tries to send email to anyone remotely (to anyone from his
account), he gets the following error at the time he types in send:
aphrael at burble.org: loses; [USER] 553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of
allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1)
He is using mh 6.7.1 in this case, although it happens with any mailer. He is
trying, in this case, to email his acct. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The contents of my locals and rcpthosts are the same:
localhost
adsl-216-100-35-70.dsl.pacbell.net (DNS reverse entry)
discontent.com (domain name)
misanthrope.discontent.com (contents of "me")
and I know from reading the FAQ that rcpthosts is where the error is occurring.
The strange part is that I use the exact configuration in my own acct and have
never experienced this error. I have read all the relevant man pages, but
cannot find if there is a specific enviroment variable that is being set
somewhere to cause this, or if its another thing altogether.
I am using qmail1.03 and tcpserver (no rules tho), and we are using shell
accounts so it's not a problem with a POP client.
Any hints or advice would be appreciated. The only fix I have found so far is
to remove rcpthosts altogether, which for obvious reasons I don't want to
continue to do.
Thanks!

That "domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1)" message will only
ever result from mail injected by SMTP. Therefore, whatever MUA he's using is
using SMTP to send mail. You'll either have to set up some tcprules to allow
relaying from 127.0.0.1 (this user is using a shell account, right?), or he'll
have to use a different MUA or configure his MUA to use qmail's fake sendmail
instead of SMTP to inject mail.

That certainly must be the case - I haven't checked to see if that's how MH
works.
The funny thing is that I use the same MUA from the same machine under my own
account, without experiencing the error. Therefore it seems to be specific to
his own account, as opposed to a general misconfiguration error, as I access
the machine the same way that he does, just from a different ISP
Darned if I could figure out what that may be, though. I will start to diff
all of our dot files for mh, tho I'm sure I won't find anything different.
Brandon
Found the answer myself...I was wrong in thinking diffing the dot files wouldn't
help.
His .mh_profile was missing the following line, which I got out of the FAQ way
back when:
postproc: /usr/lib/nmh/spost
Adding this allowed mail to reach outside.

Another possible solution:
On the firewall allow outbound ident from your mailserver, but disallow inbound ident
TO your mailserver. That's how I do it . (I know it's a bit unfair <g> )

The FAQ seems to assume that I run qmail-smtpd under tcpserver. That's not
the case for me. And I really don't like to install a tcpserver if I don't
have to. Among all other things, changing boot script in RedHat is really
painful for me.
Is there any other solutions? Thanx.

It doesn't have anything to do with inetd or tcpserver. Check the file
/var/qmail/control/rcpthosts
and check out the FAQ about relaying

You have a few options:
1) Use tcpd (tcp_wrappers) with qmail and use it's /etc/hosts.allow to
setup the RELAYCLIENT variable.
2) Use the relayclient patch from www.qmail.org to get the
/var/qmail/control/relayclients file which does the same thing.
3) Use one of the patches from www.qmail.org that'll let anybody relay
as long as they do a POP3 check first, which more mail clients do.
Another user asked why only Netscape is doing this and not
pine. The reason is pine is probably sending mail via /usr/sbin/sendmail
(which is a wrapper to /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject), and Netscape is
sending via SMTP.

Heh, really you do not need remove /bin/mail , if you're using linux.
AFAIR the idea was to remove /bin/mail that is a part of seandmail's
package, but /bin/mail in linux Red Hat 5.0 & 5.2 (& probably all from
4.5(?) or even older versions) is a part of separate package & it works
fine for me since I'm using qmail (around of half year). This _should_(?)
be cleared in the FAQ, or let's anyone more experienced corret me if I'm
wrong.

I'm using qmail for about one year ago. A couple of moths ago, when i
wasn't subscribed to this list I've experienced a little problem. After
returning from vacations I have got notices that no one can send mail to
remote hosts. (local delivery was working fine).
There wasn't any specific messages in /var/log/messsages, only thing i
have noticed is that there was no "remote hosts accepts delivery'
anywhere :)
And all email were queued for later delivery. Qmail doesn't even tried
to deliver it.
I killed all qmail proceses and restart them and after that everything
came back to normal (except system load becouse qmail starts to send
20MB queue all over the world)
Is anyone experienced something like this?
It was months ago so now it's hard to find fragments of logs to me now.
And i nieve experienced it after.

Greetings,
I'm having a bit of difficulty with qmail ignoring the
virtualdomains file in /var/qmail/control
I've got the domain (and MX record) set accordingly to point to the box,
however when I send mail to (example)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] I get a no
such mailbox error.
My virtualdomain file looks as this:
testingdomain.com:alias-testingdomain
and I have ~alias/.qmail-testingdomain-testing pointing to a test
account.
Any ideas on how to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.
With thanks in advance....

Did you remember to send a SIGHUP to qmail-send? I did and it works for
me:

testingdomain.com:alias-testingdomain
~alias/.qmail-testingdomain-testing:

Hello...
You sent me a message for me to put the domain I wish to relay in
the rcpthosts control file... But what if I want to act as a Openrelay
instead ? If I choose not to use the rcpthosts file, because if I use
the rcpthosts file the Qmail will start to complain about “This domain
is not present in my rcpthosts file...” .
How do I do to inform Qmail to deliver all messages to
“virtualdomain.com” remotely without using the rcpthosts file...?!
I included the line “virtualdomain.com:111.111.111.111” in my
smtproutes file, but when I try to send some message to
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" my Qmail program tells me that there is no
Maildir by that name... It is treating as local and the
“virtualdomain.com” is not present neither in the locals or
virtualdomain file.
Well, I supose you got my point... Thanks...

Replace 'qmail-smtpd' with 'sh -c "fixcr|qmail-smtpd"'.

Hi,
Lately I have had many SMTP connections from 2 different danish ISPs, one
of them has 4 mailservers which keeps on making connections like the one below:
Jun 9 22:51:07 mpfgw1 smtpd3: 928961467.445214 tcpserver: end 29731 status 256
Jun 9 22:51:07 mpfgw1 smtpd3: 928961467.445660 tcpserver: status: 0/20
Jun 9 22:51:07 mpfgw1 smtpd3: 928961467.445905 tcpserver: status: 1/20
Jun 9 22:51:07 mpfgw1 smtpd3: 928961467.446159 tcpserver: pid 29734 from
195.41.46.139
Jun 9 22:51:07 mpfgw1 smtpd3: 928961467.446453 tcpserver: ok 29734
mail.relay1.webben.dk:195.41.48.111:25 fep4.post.tele.dk:195.41.46.139::57953
Is it their servers that are broken or is it mine ?
Its a bit annoying as they tie up lots of smtp connections which sometimes
causes my smtp server to timeout to other "good" connections.
So far I took the easy way out and blocked them in my firewall then theyll
need to deliver any mail via my mailrelay.
Well does anyone have an idea as to what could cause this ?
Thanks,
Thomas
I've recently installed qmail on our server and have intermittent problems
with qmail-pop3d as follows: When a user connects via POP to retrieve their
mail, qmail-pop3d does not always correctly identify the fact that they have
mail waiting in their Maildir. The user can check mail for hours and
eventually they can access the waiting mail.
Does anyone have any ideas where I can start looking or how to turn on
debugging options?

Hi,
Only messages which contain attachments, contain the following line:
Content-Disposition:
true or false
If I'm off tack, how else do you determine when a msg contains an
attahment?
Many thx eric
Also "begin 666" or "begin 644" (at the beginning of a line) for uuencoded attachments.
Maybe try looking for base64 (ie. Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64), and
quote-printable.

False. Content-Disposition: header is completely optional.

Look at the Content-Type: header. If it's anything other than
text/anything, you have an attachment somewhere in there.

I did a search in the mail list page for my problem, and found someone who
had the same problem I am having who posted back in December 98, but the
suggestion for that problem didn't help me with mine. I've installed
qmail 1.03 and I am going through the install steps.. everything is fine
until I reach the stage where I have to run
csh -c 'var/qmail/rc &'
I get this error:
/var/qmail/rc: Permission denied.
[1] 735
[1] Exit 1 /var/qmail/rc
I've tried setting all permissions open, and even tried changing ownership
to qmail .. still no good. Any ideas what the problem might be? Thanks

Sounds like there's something *within* the script that can't be
kicked off. You checked the perms of all the goods being called by the rc
script?

Newcomer!
I've just loaded Qmail on my RH 5.2 box. I setup the tcpserver line to load
in rc.local. Is this the correct
file to load tcpserver in? When I do a "ps waux|grep qmail" I get splogger
qmail, qmail-clean,qmail-rspawn,qmail-send,qmail-lspawn |preline procmail.
Do I need to remove procmail? Should I have removed this RPM along with
sendmail? I want to install Qmail Pop3d next, but I don't think I know
enough about what I am doing quite yet.... I need to install Maildirs too
don't I? When I am setup can I test Qmail with Pine (local)?
Thanks for all of your patience - I'm sure you'll here from me again soon!
Thanks again Dave!
I know this is going to seem incredibly dumb.. but now that I have
installed qmail, is there some kind of interface I can use to send and
receive email? Would I be wanting to use pine? What mail clients are
there for qmail that I might want to look into?
One other thing, in the TEST.deliver file, it suggests I look for a
specific line in the "syslog".. where is the syslog? Also, it suggests I
send a mail to myself, then check for it in my mailbox.. where IS the
mailbox? Does it mean in Pine? Thanks again.

There are a lot of mail clients (as they're called) to choose from,
depending on what platform you have and whether you prefer working on the
console or in X:
Pine, Elm, Netscape Mail/Messenger, XFMail etc etc.
AFAIK you don't need a special client with qmail as it's conforming to the
RFCs and thus any client that also conforms to the RFCs should do.

syslog is a file where your UNIX system logs it's system messages or
whatever you ask it to log. It's usually found in places like /var/log/, but
to find out for sure have a look in the file /etc/syslog.conf and look for a
line which begins with "mail.*".
Your mailbox is either in ~user/Mailbox or /var/spool/mail/user or
~user/Maildir/ (the latter being a directory structure). Depends how you
configured qmail.
