Hello all,
I send a mail with multiple recipients to qmail. According to qmail
configuration, it should be forwarded to another host for all listed
recipients. I would expect, that it will be sended as a single
message in single SMTP session (with multiple RCPT TO:). But it's not
true - qmail sends it as many separate messages - for each recipient
one.
Does anybody know why ? Does anybody know, under which conditions
will qmail do remote delivery with multiple recipients in single SMTP
session ?
It's very important question, because qmail is used as a mail server
on local intranet - it delivers messages for local users on local
hosts and it forwards all mails for Internet recipients to the ISP's
mail server via dial-up line. So when single message to many Internet
recipients is sent, it increases connection time&cost rapidly, if it
is forwarded to ISP's mail server as seperate mail for each address.
Thank you very much for any answers or recommendations.

qmail is designed for well-connected systems.

We find that virus scanning slows down the mail system by a factor of 10.
Or, to put it another way, you need 10 times as much hardware as you did without
virus scanning to acheive the same performance.

Subject: running ucspi-tcp does not
work
Hi,
I installed ucspi-tcp and i tried replacing smtp
with tcpserver
so I added tcpserver -v -u 500 -g 500 0 smtp
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd \ 2>$1 | /var/qmail/bin/splogger smtpd 3
&
i saved the file and rebooted
now I don't seem to be receiving any mails with
tcpserver.
Help pls

Hello.
I've installed it under Linux RedHat
6.0.
One question: Is it possible that when an e-mail
bigger than the quota is sent and can't be delivered a return message was sent
to the FROM: person? I've thought about that feature because imagine Peter
sending messages to a Laura but as Laura has reached her quota limit neither
Peter nor Laura will ever know why she isn't receiving the e-mails.
Bye.
|

And how do I stop that message (which is too
large), because when it can't be delivered to the user it is send to root ->
mailbombing :-(

1. Important: You need to check whether the letter you are bouncing is a
bounce itself. Otherwise the mailquotacheck can generate looping mails.
2. I'd rather send ONE last letter to the person that has overridden her
quota. An informal "You will not receive more mail until you tidy up
around here.."
(of course you will need to check for this mail too before sending
another..)

I _think_ you can do that by linking a file into his/her ~/Maildir/new
directory with a special name. That way, it
1. doesn't cost you disk space
2. doesn't get overwritten by qmail-local
3. you can easily check for it, or you can simply re-link it
4. it gets unlinked correctly by qmail-pop3d

That's optional. The other alternative is .qmail files in user home
directories specifying delivery to Maildir.

Hello.
If I want to stop some kinds of spam, do I have to
install procmail or qmail can defeat spam?
Are more programs, like procmail, to defeat
spam?

Yes. Have you been to www.qmail.org? There are links for a lot of
them.

No. A default qmail/tcpserver installation can do 20 local
deliveries, 20 remote deliveries, and 40 incoming SMTP sessions. The
local and remote concurrencies can be raised to 120 by reconfiguration
and to 255 by adjusting "conf-spawn" and recompiling. There are
patches to raise that even higher, and multiple independent qmail
installations on the same system can also be used.
>How does this compare to the default configs of the best (or better)

Delivery concurrency is one per message plus one or more queue
runners. Incoming concurrency is limited only by system resources,
load average, and inetd's connection rate limit.
>Post.Office
Don't know.
>Postfix,
50 processes total (incoming+outgoing+daemons+local deliveries). Upper
limit is determined by system resources.

Don't know.

I was using this command in /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail before, but now it is not
working.
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -x/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -q -u
16 -g51 -t1 0 smtp /usr/local/bin/rblsmtpd -rrelays.radparker.com /usr/local/bin
/rblsmtpd -rrelays.orbs.org /usr/local/bin/rblsmtpd -rrbl.maps.vix.com /usr/loca
l/bin/rblsmtpd -rdul.maps.vix.com /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1 | /var/qmail/b
in/splogger smtpd 3 &
when I tried running it at the command line, I got the following error:
Ambiguous output redirect.
which I guess would have to do with the ".../var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1"
part...the question is, what should it read? Would upgrading to RH 6.1 have
changed this? I would have thought the redirect syntax has been around longer
than most current high school students. :)
Thanks for the help...

That's the problem: you're using Bourne shell syntax in the C Shell.
My csh skills are rusty; I can't remember how to redirect stderr.

To redirect both stdin and stderr to one place, use:
progname >& outputfile
If you wish to redirect them to different places, csh does not
handle this case well. You need to use a subshell like such:
(progname > stdin-outputfile) >& stderroutputfile

ok, so I dumped my old rc script and modified Dave Sill's with the rblsmtpd
entry I was using (taken from the qmail archives)....smtpd starts and all
seems hunk dory, except when I telnet into port 25 I don't receive a greeting
from rblsmtpd...is that normal?
Here's the mods I made:
[brandon@misanthrope init.d]# more qmail
#!/bin/sh
PATH=/var/qmail/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin
export PATH

NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild`
case "$1" in
start)

setuser qmaill cyclog /var/log/qmail &
echo -n " qmail-smtpd"
supervise /var/supervise/qmail/smtpd /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -x/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb

setuser qmaill accustamp | setuser qmaill cyclog /var/log/qmail/smtpd &
echo "."
;;
nothing shows up in the logs after starting this up. Telnetting into port 25
gives me this:
brandon@dudman [9:07am] /home/brandon 331> telnet discontent.com 25
Trying 216.100.35.70...

Does this look right?
Thanks for all the help so far.

That looks correct as far as the telnet goes. You need to speak SMTP to
it. I don't know why nothing would show up in the logs. Have you looked
in /var/log/maillog, /var/log/qmail, /var/log/qmail/smtpd ot maybe
/var/log/qmail-smtpd?

What should be in the logs? Unless you start tcpserver with -v
option, it does not log connections - it only barfs about errors. Ditto
for rblsmtpd and qmail-smtpd.

I guess I'm ok...just not logging correctly. Did nelson's test and got
the proper response:
Testing your RBL block. See http://www.crynwr.com/spam/ for more info
Here's how the conversation looked from linux.crynwr.com.
Note that some sites don't apply the RBL block to postmaster, so
I use your envelope sender as the To: address.
I connected to 216.100.35.70 and here's the conversation I had:

Are there any standard conventions for this mailing list? I'm just curious
because I see a lot of HTML mail come through and HTML makes a lot of noise
in an email. If there aren't any conventions or others that feel the same
way then kindly /dev/null this message. :)

HTML in e-mail is a waste of bandwidth and annoying to those whose
mailers don't support it. It's probably not worth complaining about,
though.

I agree that it is a waste of bandwidth... fortunately, my reader will
handle this type of mail but I prefer plain text. :)
I hope that I didn't sound like I was complaining either.

I'd like to add qmail the option to limit the
number of RCPT TO: addresses. I've seen that this patch does it and explains to
apply the patch in the source code.
If I have qmail already installed, how do I update
my qmail to use this patch?
Thanks.
|
I'm afraid that I don't keep the source code.
I used a RPM version with --rebuild. What can I do to apply the patch?

1. Get the source rpm
2. Install it
3. Add the patch to the SOURCES directory
4. Edit the .spec file (in SPECS directory) to use that patch
5. Do rpm -ba spec_file in the SPECS directory
6. in the RPMS directory, you have both source and i386 rpm
Read RPM-HOWTO if unsure

As you can see I'm giving you all the details if I do something wrong.
Which file does it have to patch, qmail-smtpd.c? because it doesn't exists
(exists qmail-smtpd and qmail-smtpd.8).

NOTE: After that I would like to apply another patch: mfcheck. I suppose I
can apply another patch too, can't I?
There's a small problem in all this... the maxrcpt patch was written for qmail 1.01.
It does NOT apply on 1.03. I've rewritten this last week, but merged it with other
patches. I'll try to re-separate it from the rest next Monday.

When using RPMS, it's easier to get the SPEC file to apply patches for you.
Just add lines like
Patch0: maxrcpt.patch
Patch1: mfcheck.patch
and so on, after the Source: line (within the header). Then, after the %setup line,
add lines like:
%patch0 -p1
%patch1 -p1
Note: The patch files referred to in the Patch: lines must reside in the
$RPM_SOURCE_DIR.

Ricardo

OK, here goes maxrcpt for qmail 1.03. I've given it its own error code (666 :) ). RFC
fanatics, strip it out yourselves ;-)
One note. The default maxrcpt behavior is to deliver it's max number of messages, and
dropping the others. If you want it to reject everything, change
void err_excessrcpt() { out("666 Too many recipients specified (#5.5.4)\r\n"); }
to
void err_excessrcpt() { out("666 Too many recipients specified (#5.5.4)\r\n");
_exit(1); }
Changing the funcion's name to "die_excessrcpt" would also be adequate, but
funcionally irrelevant.
Regards;
Ricardo

Thanks for the patch.
Now I have an "old problem". After I have done all changes in SPEC file, I
do:
rpm -ba spec_file
But it asks for a file to patch, which file do I have to patch?
Thanks.

It's basically the same maxrcpt patch, but adapted to qmail 1.03 (and I've
added an error code of it's own).

If I try to patch the source code (not a RPM) it gives 6 failed hunks.
I'm using qmail 1.03 and maxrcpt 1.03.
Why?

The patch you've sended is incomplete, or at least my pop server has
delivered a patch which lacks of its end.
Please, resend the patch or tell us of the web where we can download it.

But I'd like it to arrive at the destination with the correct
stamp on it. How can I change this behavior? For instance, your email came
to me as......

I wouldn't want it any other way.

In-Reply-To: Genealogy Online's message
That date came from somewhere. But not from qmail (as I had been
assuming) and, obviously, not from here. It's an original header from the
email software. So, I created the header at the top of the file to be
piped to sendmail and got what I wanted. (Actually, I wrote a script to do
it.)

Hello everyone
I just installed, for the first time, the Qmail Mail Server on a RedHat 6.0
Box.
Although I tried my best to install the software as explained in the docs,
I still
encountered 2 (maybe simple) problems:
1º - The POP3 service is not initializing on startup, a have to go to
the
/etc/rc.d/init.d and manually start qmail-pop3d.init
(./qmail-pop3d.init start)
2º - When I test the POP3 service, after I start it manually, telneting
the
POP3 port (telnet 192.168.100.1 110) this is what I receive:
-------------------------
[root@exion /root]# telnet 192.168.100.1 110
Trying
192.168.100.1...
Connected to 192.168.100.1.
Escape character is
'^]'.
+OK <1405.941834174@checkpassword>
user mike
+OK
pass
1234
-ERR this user has no $HOME/Maildir
Connection closed by foreign
host.

Any help is thankful ...

You probably need to link /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail-popsd.init to an rc script
in the rc*.d directories. i.e.
ln -s /ets/rc.d/init.d/qmail-pop3d.init /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K50qmail-pop3d
you might want to do that for all the run levels. An easier fix is to just
add the pop command line to the existing /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail script.

Make sure that maildir in the pop3d command line is Maildir. It is case
sensitive. I made the same mistake.

Hello.
qmail-pop3d only works with /Maildir/ boxes (read
the FAQ and Life with qmail). If you want to use /Mailbox or /var/spool/mail/
you'll have to install another pop3 daemon.
Have you installed checkpassword?
If you want to enable a /Maildir/ for a user
execute this as the user:
/var/qmail/bin/maildirmake
$HOME/Maildir
echo ./Maildir/ > ~/.qmail

This patch was created for qmail-1.01.
Do anybody knows if it is already inserted in
qmail-1.03?
I have tried to patch qmail-1.03 and I can't, it
gives 4 errors :-(

I'd like to play too -- is there an address to forward my trapped spam

if I was to set up a couple clearly marked spam addresses and stick them

Keep the NTmail server up during a transitional period, and write
a fallback script to your password database that checks mismatches
against the NTmail server using pop3. You can even get
the libntlm package and use NTLM authentications during your
transitional period but that is may be silly.
So you aren't extracting them, but trapping them, which is more work
but means the users jsut have to log in during the transitional period
instead of assigning them new passwords at transition time.
POP3 checkers are easy to write, I can send you UMKCs if you need.
libntlm is by Grant Edwards; is used in recent Fetchmail releases;

I believe there is a bug in the mfcheck patch on the qmail Web site. I
noticed a strange interaction between one of my mailing list servers and our
main mail server. qmail generated a double bounce because of a problem with
ezmlm (nothing major). It attempted to deliver the message to
~alias/dot-qmail-postmaster, which is forwarded to a remote address. qmail
uses <#@[]> as the envelope sender on the message, but this is refused by
the main mail server with the mfcheck patch, saying "envelope sender domain
must exist."
Now, I suppose that forwarding double bounces to a remote machine may not be
the best practice, and I only do it on this one machine. However, I think
that the mfcheck routine should check for the special sender address. It
seems kinda silly that qmail should refuse its own "special" address, and
besides that the mfcheck routine already allows <> through (yes, I know this
is required anyway).
I'm aware of the environment variable setting, which I will use for the time
being.

Hi,
Sorry if this has been asked before, but...
I run some mailing lists and the short story is 2 or 3 emails were
accidentally fired off to a large list. So they are all queued up
and partially delivered but alot of it is not. However, the queue
also contains quite a bit of undelivered emails that need to be
delivered.
What I did was to kill qmail-send and all qmail-remotes, then
mv queue queue.yikes and made a new queue then restarted qmail so
other incoming mail jobs could be processed and sent out.
Now I want to get into queue.yikes and delete the stuff I don't
want to go out without disturbing the remaining emails that need to
be delivered.
Can this be done?
Thanks for any comments,
--Paul T.

Hello.
I've installed mailquotacheck, but I would like
that when a message can't be delivered (because exceeds the quota) it is sent
back to the sender.
I've seen that exists a patch, quota.patch, which
is supposed to do this. Is there a manual or whatever on how to use it, select
the quota... because I can only download the patch with no
instructions.
