Congratulations,
You just opened up the mailserver for Spam-attacks ;)
Use tcpserver and RELAYCLIENT="" instead.

The bounce message bounce because the mailserver does a check against sender domain.
If this fails, it denies the request. Here the domain exists, but it might not exist
for the DNS that the mailserver queries (bad config?).

Nope, rcpthost includes domains that the server accept, it can be local domain or just
a domain that the server queues mail for ex. secondary MX for a domain. It does not
have anything to do with the local users. If a domain is listed in rcpthost, anybody
in the "world" is allowed to deliver mail to that domain, even if that doman is not
local on that server.
Use tcpserver (and do not run it from inetd), and set the relaying from there.

Hi
I think I don´t really understand, where the problem is.
For your question, IMHO
1) just create the [EMAIL PROTECTED] as you would create any of the other
accounts you have for domain.com, and make a forward from there to the
pop-account
2) use users/assign.
Greetings, Florian Pflug
hoping that this has at least something to do with the problem you have to
solve... ;-))
I recently had a case where one neighbour host, also running qmail,
suddenly opened over 100 connections to my machine, and used up all the
slots, with the result that my customers could not send mail. While I
know there are various different solutions to this problem (like a
different IP for internal customers, asking this neighbour to use
serialmail for backlogged mail), I still wanted to setup session limits,
so I did this:
tcpserver -vRHlusers.africaonline.co.ke -c500 -x/qmail/etc/tcpserver.smtp.cdb \
-u102 -g101 0 25 /qmail/scripts/session-limit.sh 2>&1 .... &
The session-limit.sh script checks to see how many connections are
active from a particular IP, and if this new would exceed a certain
number, then to send a 421 code to the client and disconnect. Otherwise
it runs the normal qmail-smtpd
session-limit looks like this:
--- start script ---
#!/bin/sh
PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/bin"
if [ -z "$SESSIONLIMIT" ]
then
exec /qmail/scripts/qmail-smtpd-wrapper.sh
elif [ $SESSIONLIMIT -eq 0 ]
then
exec /qmail/scripts/qmail-smtpd-wrapper.sh
fi
cd /qmail/etc/locks
start=1
while [ $start -le $SESSIONLIMIT ]
do
setlock -n $TCPREMOTEIP.$start /qmail/scripts/qmail-smtpd-wrapper.sh 2> /dev/null
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
rm -f $TCPREMOTEIP.$start
exit
fi
start=`expr $start + 1`
done
# if the above fails, then we tell the client to go away
echo 421 Limit of $SESSIONLIMIT simultaneous connections from $TCPREMOTEIP reached.
Come back later.
echo "smtpd: Dropped excess session from $TCPREMOTEIP (max $SESSIONLIMIT)" >&2
--- end script ---
The session limit can be set by tcpserver, in the form of an environment
variable SESSIONLIMIT. Thus each host can have its own session limits.
I have tested this, and it seems to work OK. If anyone has any
constructive comments about my approach to the problem, I'd welcome
them. I'm using the file system as a database to keep track of how many
sessions there are from each host. I realise that over time, there is a
possibility of collecting "stale" files in the locks directory.
It would be nice if tcpserver had such an ability built-in, where it
kept track of connectiong IPs in memory, and this would be faster, and
less kludgy.

You have excised one of tcpserver's best features - that it smoothly
queues incoming connections when the process limit is reached.
A very good suggestion, I think is was from DJB, is to use two IP
numbers for hosts that do SMTP with end-user clients. Point your MX
record at one address, and your A record at the other. Run a
separate copy of tcpserver for each. The DNS looks like this:
mail in a 192.168.1.1
in mx 100 mail-mx
mail-mx in a 192.168.1.2
MTAs such as your neighbor's qmail will exclusively use the MX
entry. End-user clients such as Eudora, Outlook will exclusively
use the A entry. Since there are two instances of tcpserver
listening to those addresses, the two do not compete for process
slots.

Hello Everyone,
I had qmail installed and working just fine on my
machines using a dialup connection (ppp). I have
a "public" machine that the MX records point to.
That machine treats my mail as a virtual domain,
and stuffs all mail for a given domain to a specific
user's mailbox. I download periodically from it
to the server at my house using maildir2smtp.
That part appears to work. I'm using Netscape's
Communicator on my Win95 box to download the mail
from the local server to read it. That was working
fine also.
Then I switched to a cable modem setup, with
Roadrunner. After finally getting everything
squared away, the mail is being delivered to
my local Maildir without problem. And I can
read it from the local server using Mutt (That's
how I'm writing this message).
BUT, when I try to have my workstation get the
mail using POP via Netscape, it's saying that:
"The mail server responded:
This user has no $HOME/Maildir
Please enter a new password"
Any suggestions what might be wrong. As far as
I know, I've not changed anything to do with
qmail specifically, just the PPP vs IP Masq
setup. Any ideas on how to debug?
Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] if
you can.
Thanks.
This just in... restarting qmail-pop3d seems to fix the
problem. This may be related to my having to manually
edit resolv.conf after startup to add my local
domain and dns.

Hi ,
As far as i can see you need to run $HOME/Maildir
ie
/home/yourhomdir/Maildir needs to exist for the POP3 to work.
Read the FAQ in /var/qmail/doc
It explains the whole setup of Maildir.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but only a California resident would be able to pursue
flash.net under this bill (at least that's my understanding, after reading it a
few times).

Wouldn't matter, this came directly from a dialup there, not their mail
servers. The RBL wouldn't catch that, nor should it, because that is
beyond their scope.
So rbl does not do wildcard blocking like *.flash.net ?

No. The RBL blocks by IP address ranges, and only those hosts that show
specific problems. Domain names never enter the picture.

This is impractical for many sites where 24x7 connectivity is
prohibitively expensive, and where the organization is UNIX-clueless
(e.g. a MicroSoft shop).
At such sites, the client organization typically has a machine which
dials into the ISP once or twice a day. Queued up mail on the
<blech>Exchange</bletch> server gets transfered to the ISP and
likewise they want mail which has queued on the ISP mail server to
start feeding into their LAN server. Yes, this is very much like the
way UUCP is used but I haven't seen MS Visual-UUCP hit the market yet :-)
And if it did, the MS Administrator would probably not have the skills
to configure it.
ETRN is a bit of a hack and a security concern but it does work. I'd
love to hear other suggestions for situations like the above where
there's not full-time connectivity and they don't have UNIX/UUCP gurus
on staff.
How many people have ISPs that support UUCP?

I would be very much surprised if there's absolutely no software in the
Win32 world that can download remote mail via any standard protocol, and
dump it into an MSexchange.
Perhaps MSexchange does not provide the correct solution for those sites'
situation, but I do not believe that the right way to solve it is to
pervert the SMTP.
Perhaps there is no solution available from Microsoft, but that does not
mean that there's no solution available at all.
At the very least, there is a port of Perl to Win32, and it would be
rather trivial to write a POP3 client in Perl. In fact, I'd bet that if I
look I'll find both a Perl POP3 module and a Perl SMTP module, so it would
be a rather trivial excersize to use both to download mail via POP3, and
dump into into MSexchange via SMTP.

I would be very much surprised if there's absolutely no software in the
Win32 world that can download remote mail via any standard protocol, and
dump it into an MSexchange.
Perhaps MSexchange does not provide the correct solution for those sites'
situation, but I do not believe that the right way to solve it is to
pervert the SMTP.
Perhaps there is no solution available from Microsoft, but that does not
mean that there's no solution available at all.
At the very least, there is a port of Perl to Win32, and it would be
rather trivial to write a POP3 client in Perl. In fact, I'd bet that if I
look I'll find both a Perl POP3 module and a Perl SMTP module, so it would
be a rather trivial excersize to use both to download mail via POP3, and
dump into into MSexchange via SMTP.

I've written a tiny Perl5 program that does exactly this. It's
available from <URL:http://home.tmr-online.de/tn/getpop.pl> and
should work under Win32 provided that all required modules can
be installed.

There's also a free utility called pullmail, available from
http://www.swsoft.co.uk, that does exactly this.

IMHO pullmail doesnt strip the virtual-domain addon at the beginning
of the Delivered-To line. therefor i was not able to use it with
multidrop virtual domains - maybe my fault.

Kai, there is already a Open Source project in course to build an
web-based mail system (that is totally independent from qmail).
Maybe you'll find something useful there.
Try http://www.horde.org/
You're searching for a program called "IMP".
Good Luck.

Or take a look at twig (http://www.screwdriver.net/twig) It doesn't
use any javascript so it's compatible with older browsers. It also
does news, has a calender and some other stuff. I'm looking at it now
but haven't done much yet.

we just started an isp bussines and are running qmail with virtual domains
and multidrop pop3 (one Maildir for the whole domain). mails are received
and localy delivered as expected - so far everything is running fine.
now i am getting into troubles with a customer running two M$'s exchange
server synchronizing via internet. they send their sync-mails to each other
and we tried to receive the mails on the exchange boxes via pop3 with
pullmail and popweasel - with no success. IMHO we lost the original SMTP-To
information somewhere. we tried "pullmail ... /r:To" and we tried
popweasel's feature to get the rcpt out from "Delivered-To" and extracting
the virtual-domain addon. most of the user-mail goes ok but the snyc-msg's
are bounced with "rcpt unknown".
meanwhile i am rather confused. i am not able to figure out, how to get the
original SMTP-To information out of a virtual-domain mail.
should i try to insert a "Recieved For:" (read that somewhere) line into the
envelope or is there anything else i can do?
i know there are running many qmail sites out there, so i hope, that someone
could help me.

You are doing the correct thing. qmail stores the envelope recipient in
the Delievered-To: line, along with a prefix showing the controlling
user. Stripping that prefix yields the SMTP envelope. Any errors beyond
that would in all likelihood come from popweasel or Exchange. A lot of
our customers use MDaemon (another windows MTA), and they rely on
extracting info out of Delivered-To, and they have no problems.

It might be easier to get qmail to add an X-Envelope-To: header to all
mails for that customer. Then get pullmail to use that header to extract
the address. It's worked very well for us in the past. Something like
the following should do the trick:
If you have in control/virtualdomains:
customer.com:user
Then,
touch ~user/.qmail-finaldelivery
Then put the following in ~user/.qmail-default
|(echo X-Envelope-To: "$DEFAULT@$HOST"; cat) | qmail-inject -f "$SENDER" --
|user-finaldelivery
Then ask pullmail/popweasel to use the X-Envelope-To header.

I'm in the process of installing qmail. I am following the 'life with
qmail' newbie instructions and the following packages:
qmail-1.03
daemontools-0.61
ucspi-tcp-0.84
After following all the instructions up to the 'now you can start qmail'
point and finally attempting to start qmail I get the following error:
Starting qmail: qmail-send qmail-smtpdsupervise: usage: supervise dir
/usr/sbin/qmail: setuser: command not found
.
/usr/sbin/qmail: setuser: command not found
/usr/sbin/qmail: setuser: command not found
Now, I have done a search on the archive and found that setuser was
included in an earlier version of daemontools and that newer versions use
setuidgid but what does this mean? Do I need to install the old version of
daemontools or can I make the new version work somehow? Thanks.

Yes, if you follow Life With Qmail, you need to use the old version
of daemontools (0.53?). There's nothing particularly wrong with that
version.

Not quite, it is actually just done with a script, with incoming mail
passed to the script for preprocessing. These guys are doing it with
qmail plus 3 differant virus checkers.

I don't have the details of their setup.

I have one user whose mailbox drops connections on a machine that
is up and generally accepting mail.
Currently this user has five messages waiting to be sent to
them, each one getting progressively longer retry times.
I would like to see the retry time for new message for a remote
address that already has a temporary failure associated with it
start at the current longer delay time, instead of each message
backing off on its own schedule.
Sound good? Would this require much additional space within
qmail-send? Perhaps a file of backoff times could be maintained
and read only when a delivery has temporarily failed, to prevent
additional memory use by qmail-send
What thinks everyone?

hi there,
blame me, flame me, but i don't understand it:
i am running a qmail server and i have to relay for our customers.
so i set up tcp.smtp (yes, i did the tcprules thing) and put the
virtual domains in rcpthosts following LWQ.
after that, no host other than in rcpthosts was reachable.
a mail that i sent from a remote (relayed) site produced:
Oct 26 21:42:58 mail qmail: 940966978.193101 delivery 2: failure:
Sorry,_I_couldn't_find_any_host_named_vav.at?._(#5.1.2)/
'dig vav.at mx' on my mailserver showed correct mx for vav.at, so it is not
a nameserver related problem.
removing rcpthosts everything is running smoothly but now i am an open
relay, what i don't really want to.
what am i doing wrong - and - excuse my english...

You might want to look at Russ Nelson's open-SMTP or similar things on the
qmail.org page. These are add-ons to Qmail that allow it to relay for
selected IP addresses after they've authenticated themselves (generally via
POP3).

Yes, but the error says it was looking for a "host named vav.at?". The
question mark character "?" is not valid in DNS names.
I think the test mail was improperly addressed.

Before tcprules, what did the contents of tcp.smtp look like? How are
you starting qmail-smtpd (what's the EXACT command line)? Have you
applied ANY patches to qmail? Did you install from an RPM or from the
sources?

after rereading the docu of qmail-smtpd, i realized that the value of

Courier-IMAP provides IMAP access to Maildirs. Written from scratch, it
weighs in at 1/5th the size of UW-IMAP, despite a reasonably complete
IMAP4rev1 implementation.
There might be some problems with vchkpw support in this first version,
but everything else is functional. Strict implementation of RFC 2060
(IMAP4rev1) means that pretty much every IMAP client I tested was broken
in some way - even Pine (!), although Pine's IMAP implementation was the
best one I've looked at. Netscape Communicator's IMAP client also works,
although until someone at Netscape figures out that there is no such thing
as a negative message sequence number, checking for new mail and copying
messages between folders may not work very well. Microsoft Outlook works
more or less ok, but only because I relented and accomodated its bugs that
made folder creation and deletion a rather annoying experience.
http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/
* Very fast. I opened a folder with 700 msgs for the first time with no
noticeable delay (on a reasonably fast box).
* Supports /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, and MD5 passwords. Supports PAM.
Allegedly supports vchkpw (not tested). Supports userdb (basically a
GDBM or DB based virtual mailbox database). PAM support basically means
that any PAM module can be used for authentication.
* Same userdb and maildir driver as maildrop (and sqwebmail).
Courier-IMAP will see and access sqwebmail's folders.
* Some anti script-kiddie measures - limit on max # of connections, limit
on max # of connections from the same IP address. Artificial delays for
bad passwords.
What this means is that you no longer need to hack Pine into reading
Maildirs. Just run the server on localhost, and tell Pine to use IMAP to
localhost to read INBOX or file mail into folders.

We'll do the needed patches as part of qmail-ldap. At the moment I'm

Hi, All.
I know this is VERY off-topic, but do you know any "good" MUA
for Windows?
I'd like to recommend a reasonable (that is, not bloated and
not very much broken) mail reader for some friends that use
Windows, but I just don't know what to tell them.
So, I was wondering if you could suggest something. It would
be nice if it were free and kept some headers like References,
In-Reply-To (is there any MUA for Windows that understands
Mail-Followup-To?) so that mutt can keep threads whenever they
send me some e-mails... :-)
Thank you very much for your comments, Roger...

There are a couple of Unix/Linux MUAs that also have Win32 versions,
these are probably fairly well behaved. The ones that I can think of
off the top of my head are:-
Mahogany (previously known as M)
Mulberry (from Cyrus I believe)
One WIn32 mailer that seemed quite competant when I was looking is
Pmail98 (www.southsoft.com), it has OS/2 ancestry which may explain
its sanity.
For the others there seems little that's any better (or worse) than
Eudora and Pegasus.

hi,Last I asked about the webmail,and got many appreciated reply.I think
I have made a mistake.
what I want is hotmail like webmail system.
I have installed Atdot(www.atdot.org) on my server. It is cool, but
there are a little feature not be included
(like users quota limit,virtualhost etc),and it use sendmail,which
processes mail more slowly than qmail.
above all ,the I dont know how may users can Atdot works well with on my
Intel PIII RH6.0 server.
Does there r an open source project about the hotmail like webmail
system.
Thanks

BUT here is a cut from the QMAIL FAQ regarding host masquerading.
Am I not doing what the FAQ suggests? I (think I) know what I am doing but
may be using incorrect terminology.
Sendmail does what I am asking with the same kind of setup I want with
Qmail. ie send from Eudora as [EMAIL PROTECTED] which is "re-written" to
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" when sent.
I did think that Qmail would change the host name on sending externally but
this does not happen.
Many thanks for the reply.

1. Controlling the appearance of outgoing messages
1.1. How do I set up host masquerading? All the users on this host,
zippy.af.mil, are users on af.mil. When joe sends a message to fred, the
message should say ``From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]'' and ``To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]'', without
``zippy'' anywhere.
Answer: echo af.mil /var/qmail/control/defaulthost; chmod 644
/var/qmail/control/defaulthost.
