Hi There...
I was wondering if there is a package that allows me to check a pop account
on an external server, rewrite the address and inserts it into the local
server.
Thanks

the qmail-popup command (more precisely the "main" function)
was started with a garbled command line and environment.
That is, it thinks "INIT VERSION=sysvinit-2.74" is the host
name ...
how do you start it?

The most common problem is that the line you're using to start up the
POP3 daemon doesn't have the correct path to the password checking program.
For example, with:
env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin" tcpserver 0 pop-3
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup codon.com /virtuals/bin/vchkpw
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir &
the "/virtuals/bin/vchkpw" is the program used by the daemon to check the
user's password. Check and make sure that your startup line points to a
program that actually exists. : )

This morning I got a message from the qmail-list that one of the
messages to me had bounced. Well, my mailer-daemon did deliver a
bounce..

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at mail.gammadata.se.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following
addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

Hey, wait a moment. The bounce came _after_ the inode had been assigned
to a new msg?
Uhh, is this normal? Did something fuck up, and in that case, was it
qmail or the MUA?
Could this have happened before, or was it a one-timer?
Has anyone else run into this kind of thing? I am totally boggled.. ;)
Thankful for any help or discussion around the subject.
Henrik.

I can't really say, since I can't tell what happened, but I can't see
that anything unusual happened. Other than the symptoms you see in the
logs, what happened that you don't think should have happened, or
didn't happen that you think should have happened?

Okay, I'll clarify a little.
I'm not currently using qmailanalog, so I'll try to do it in words.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] produced a bounce due to:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
195.41.46.148 does not like recipient.
This bounce was supposed to be sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (uid
1014), but was instead sent to
[EMAIL PROTECTED], a message which
was accepted by [EMAIL PROTECTED] (uid 1044) and forwarded to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
The events, as I interpret them, were as follows (in some sort of
meta-language):
1.) Mail is sent with following instructions
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
2.) qmail delivers the messages separate from eachother (delivery 2349 &
2350, msg 539092)
3.) qmail reports a failure for delivery 2349, and sends a bounce (delivery
2351, msg 539093)
4.) qmail reports a failure for delivery 2350 (also msg 539092)
Here is the interesting part..
5.) qmail begins a new msg with id 539092 (there has not yet been a second
bounce for that mail, only a second report of failure,) delivery 2352
6.) qmail carries out delivery 2352 successfully, and begins the forward to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (delivery 2353)
7.) qmail starts a bounce for msg 539092, although delivery 2352 has been
carried out successfully. It bounces the message delivered by delivery 2350,
but to the wrong adress.
It should have bounced to [EMAIL PROTECTED] but bounced to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
I've marked out the different events in the attached log-file.
I hope this is clearer, otherwise I guess I'll have to install qmailanalog.
Thanks, Henrik.

Obviously, that shouldn't happen. I've never seen reports of other
people having such things happen, and it's never happened to me.
Somebody who knows a whole lot more about qmail internals than I do,
e.g., Dan, would have to look at your log entries and attempt to
figure out what went wrong (or what could have gone wrong).

That's very odd; the qmail error message "Connected... but connection
died" definitely indicates that qmail thought that a connection was opened.
However, my limited testing concurs; that host isn't giving a glimmer of
response.
Just a final check... you are running ping and telnet from the qmail
host, correct? And there is no firewall in front of your qmail host? If
the answer to both is "yes," I'm stumped.

Hi,
How do you use qmailanalog to determine the amount of message sent to a
particular domain??
Thanks
Tonino
I've hacked up a version of getpw to authenticate off an Oracle database,
and, surprise surprise, it doesn't work. From reading docs, qmail-inject
seems to be pretty similar to the old "sendmail -v" I used to use to use
to debug broken sendmail systems. However, the man page is a bit confusing
for someone that just wants to see what happens/what's invoked when a mail
is to be delivered locally.
Could someone post an example session ?

Yes, and no. The idea with ezmlm-cgi is to access the archive directly
without the [admin and space] overhead of separate storage. Thus,
ezmlm-cgi needs to have access to a list archive. You can have a
separate machine and access the archive over NFS, you can set up a
sublist and access that archive (as I've done for
http://id.wustl.edu/cgi-ez/ezmlm-cgi/1#b), or you can use e.g. MHonarc.
Since ezmlm-cgi does formatting on-the-fly it is ideal for systems that
have many lists with relatively little http access per list. It is easy
to set up for an entire host and can serve lots of lists (at some point
a cdb config file will be supported to make that scale better -
currently you can just set up several ezmlm-cgi with say 100 lists
each). If you have a lot of http access it becomes more advantageous to
translate only once and store the html files, even though ezmlm-cgi is
quite efficient. At the moment, e.g. MHonarc may be better in this
situation.
The next step is to make ezmlm-cgi run directly under tcpserver and use
file time stamps to give modification dates and handle
if-modified-since. Using this, especially combined with e.g. squid will
make it much more efficient (I think faster than serving preformatted
files from Apache [speculation, not profiled ;-)]).

(1) If I want to change the qmail-pop3d timeout, is it correct to modify
the line
int timeout = 1200;
in qmail-popup.c and qmail-pop3d.c? If not, how do I go about?
(2) I did just that, changing it from 1200 to 30, but the timeout only
seems to work in the authentication stage, ie. before i'm actually
logged in. Once i'm logged in, i can still be idle for more than 30
secs.
Any idea what's going on? Please help.
Hi,
I'm receiving spam through various open SMTP relays but originating from a
specific network IP and I'd like to block messages originating from that
network IP while allowing e-mail from the various open SMTP relays. What's
the best way to do that?
I've tried communicating with the open relays, but there are so many of
them, and many are outside the US. Additionally, I'd like to receive e-mail
from some of the open relay servers.
I've tried to find out who administers the spamming network IP, but reverse
lookups reveal nothing and they don't appear to allow incoming e-mail, so it
looks like the only actions I can take are to ignore the problem or block
the originator.
when I run qmail-qstat, it says there are 2 messages in the queue.
When I rung qmail-qread, it shows no messages.
Do I have a problem? How do I investigate this? I have read the FAQ - is
there a tool / doc for montoring and maintaining queues?
Thanks,
Steve B.

http://www.qmail.org , choose a mirror.
"edit" -> "find in page" -> "queue"
The first match is "Michele Beltrame has a tool to view the qmail queue
(with colored display), view messages in it and delete messages. It's very
simple and written in Perl."
Second match is "Eric Huss has released queue-fix 1.4. It repairs or
generates a qmail queue structure. You can use this to help move your queue

The long explanation:
qmail-qstat is a shell script that counts the number of files in the
/var/qmail/queue/mess and /var/qmail/queue/todo directories.
The number of files in the mess directories indicate the number of
messages in the queue. The number of files in the todo directory
indicates the number of messages that have not been preprocessed.
qmail-qread examines the files in the /var/qmail/queue/info,
/var/qmail/queue/local and/or /var/qmail/queue/remote directories to
determine where the messages came from and where they are going to.
These files are created by qmail-send, once it has preprocessed the
message (based on the corresponding todo file).
If there are NO files in the info directories, then qmail-qread assumes
there are NO messages to worry about - even if there ARE files in the
/var/qmail/queue/mess directories. If this is the case, then you have a
corrupted queue and you get conflicting results from qmail-qstat and
qmail-qread.
How does this happen? qmail-queue is responsible for placing the
messages in the queue directories. Under certain conditions it can
leave the queue in a corrupt state. One such example is when one of
either the sender or recipient evelope addresses is greater than 1002
characters. If this is the case then qmail-queue will leave the
following files in the queue and exit with a status of 54:
/var/qmail/queue/intd/227864
/var/qmail/queue/mess/3/227864
There is NO todo file but there is a mess file. qmail-qstat will show
1 message in the queue but qmail-qread will not show anything.
There may be other conditions under which qmail-queue will corrupt the
queue hierarchy, but I haven't discovered them yet (I'm writing a
qmail-queue wrapper, and the condition I've described above has come
up in my testing).
There are other ways the queue hierarchy may be corrupted, eg system
crashes during qmail-queue's operation etc etc.
Anyway, that explains why you see what you're seeing.
Others have suggested using the qmail-fix tool to fix the queue.

Hi All,
I'm running qmail v1.03, qmailadmin, tcpserver, vpopmail...what I want to
do is have a copy of all mail received at [EMAIL PROTECTED] forwarded to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (i.e. have one copy deposited in his mail dir at work, and the
other to his ISP, but when I do this with .qmail-shark and put in
&[EMAIL PROTECTED], it prevents any mail from being received by his account, even
though qmail's logs show it to be delivered...what could I be doing wrong?

You need two lines in .qmail-shark
One to forward and one to place in the users Maildir
Like:
&[EMAIL PROTECTED]
./Maildir/
Or whatever the path to the maildir is.

Sorry if you are seeing this twice. I don't think
it made it to the list.
I've done the below w/ a 5XX series error and the exit(1).
Unfortunately I seem to be tossing mailing list emails out,
not just the joker trying to mail to 2000 people at once.
My understanding was that the mailing list software should
be able to deal w/ the bounce given the 5XX error? Would
they not get one due to the exit(1)? If so (not getting the
bounce), how should I rig this so they would?
Thanks,
Mike.

I recently modified procmail and recompiled it to deliver to
/home/user/Mailbox. Then I made a symbolic link between /home/user/Mailbox
and /var/spool/mail/user. Qmail's startup script on my box is identical to
the one in /var/qmail/boot/proc. Mail delivery works and pine.conf was
modified so pine gets the mail correctly in /home/user/Mailbox.
however, sometimes a very strange thing happens:
If mail is sent to the user on my system, and the user uses pine to read the
mail, and then deletes it, and then later checks their mail from the pop
server using outlook express or equivilent, they get the following email
message:
Subject: DON'T DELETE THIS MESSAGE -- FOLDER INTERNAL DATA
Body:
This text is part of the internal format of your mail folder, and is not
a real message. It is created automatically by the mail system software.
If deleted, important folder data will be lost, and it will be re-created
with the data reset to initial values
If the user checks email via their pop, and doesn't use pine on the box, it
works fine, new mail is delivered to their mua and that strange message
isn't delivered. This strange message is only displayed if they have checked
mail via pine on the box itself first.
For a pop3 daemon I am using ipop3d executed via inetd. (its a small user
base)
the inetd line looks like:
pop-3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd ipop3d
Anyone have any idea why users are getting this message if they check via
pine first? What is this important folder data?
Any help is appreciated.

Current versions of Pine create that message and stick it in the folder
automatically. I believe there's a way to turn it off in the options; it
doesn't store any useful information unless you're using the University of
Washington IMAP server.

That's a "feature" of Pine - it's a meta-message that lets Pine share some
information with UW's IMAP and POP servers. It's nothing more than a pain
for most of the world.
In /usr/local/lib/pine.conf (the global equivalent of .pinerc, good for the
entire system), put:
feature-list=quell-folder-internal-msg
Incidentally, this is not really qmail-related at all.

Hello all,
I manage a university department's mailing lists,
as well as their network and PCs. My predecessor had set up qmail and
ezmlm on a FreeBSD machine to allow teachers to have discussion list for their
classes. The machine's host and domain name differ slightly from the
department's resolved web name.
I've set up the virtual domain to correctly resolve
the lists when subscribing/unsubscribing in /var/qmail/control/, but when a user
sends email to the list from outside of ASU's domain ([EMAIL PROTECTED] , etc), the message's
"To:" field list address is appended to reflect the machines actual host/domain
instead of the virtual domain that was used to send it. Presuming that
this is occurring at my machine, where do I look and how do I correct
this?
example: [EMAIL PROTECTED] is used in the
"To:" to send an msg from <somewhere>@hotmail.com , but the returned
mail from ezmlm says that the address was [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
I need the address ezmlm receives or uses to be hdshc.asu.edu
Thank you kindly,
Ben Trussell

Also, my virtualdomains file contains
"aquinas.pp.asu.edu:hdshc.asu.edu" (no quotation marks).

For starters, there's a separate sqwebmail list. Additionally, your
question really concerns only your particular operating system, and how
you go about installing and using shared libraries on your platform.
What you need to do is to install either the GDBM or the DB library. You
can find GDBM somewhere in ftp://ftp.gnu.org, and DB can be found
somewhere on http://www.sleepycat.com.
I personally recommend GDBM, because I'm really getting pretty tired of
Sleepycat always changing their API with each release, and to hell with
backward compatibility. Download version 2.7 of DB, if that's what you
want. I haven't tried it, but I'll guarantee that version 3.0 will not
work.
Then, for help in installing and using either library, you should ask in a
mailing list or a newsgroup that's particular to your operating system.

Hi,
I am setting up a server farm here. I plan to be running many domains on the
same machine. This machine will be running many services as well such as
http,ftp, mySQL, etc... Dns will be on a outside machine. All I need
qmail for is pop3 and for receiving mail and placing it in correct folders.
I figure all the below is easily possible but I was hoping someone could
point me to a nice web site for setting all this up on a linux box.
Multiple name Based domains (login as [EMAIL PROTECTED])
Non-system users (have all mail accounts run as 1 user)
No relaying
Autoresponders and forwarders
Quotas on mailboxes
Allow command line mailsending (for perl/cgi scripts)
If at all possible a web based config would be awesome. I am sure this all
seems trivial to most people but I am new to setting up mailservers. Thanks.
Any and all help is appreciated.
Matt

I would start by taking a look at:

or

no problem

if you want _one_ account for all, look at vpopmail
but
if you want one account per _domain_, use vmailmgr (the one I use).

of course... :)

no pb.

there is a sendmail wrapper.

Maybe you want to use the LDAP patch :
http://www.nrg4u.com
It does everything you want, in one patch.
my system: FreeBSD 3.4, qmail, Maildir, daemontools,
tcpserver.
i want to move /var to RAID (software RAID with
FreeBSD's "vinum"). i'd like a sanity check on what i
plan to do:
- bring /var2 online. /var2 = RAID
- reboot into single user. don't start qmail & MySQL
since they use /var.
- copy /var to /var2
- edit /etc/fstab to switch /var and /var2
- reboot into multiuser mode
will this result in an intact /var? is this what
people do when they want a more reliable qmail mail
spool?

Not sure what RAID level you're using. However, unless it's
RAID1+0, you're increasing the first bottleneck which people
generally run into: queue disk IO.

Queue file names are based on inode names, so you're going to
corrupt your queue. However, there is a queue fixing util on
qmail.org.
One thing you might want to think about is starting a second
qmail instance on a fresh /var2/qmail directory. Change your
qmail-smtp startup path to /var2/qmail/bin, and restart it.
Make sure you allow relaying from localhost, and smtproute
your first qmail instance to localhost. Then flush the /var
queue to the new queue.

It seems taht unless there is a symbolic link from /var/spool/mail/user to
/home/user/Mailbox, the user will not be notified, if they are logged into
the box, that they have new mail.
Since I want users to be notified when new mail arrives, is there a way to
streamline the process of creating symbolic links when new users are added
to the box? Make it so whenever a new user is added to the box, a symbolic
link from /var/spool/mail/user is also created?
any ideas are appreciated.

I apologize in advance for the length of this message--I've been reading this list and
searching the archive and FAQ for some time, so I'm trying to anticipate all of the
information
about my problem that one might need to solve it...
I've recently installed qmail-1.03 (no patches) and am trying to test local
deliveries on my host (running FreeBSD-3.4-STABLE). I'm having delivery
failures similar to ones that seem to have come up over and over again
on this list--all seem related to file/dir permissions, but I just can't track this
down...
Injecting a message into qmail-inject per the instructions in TEST.deliver results
in success for root (the message is queued), but the log complains:
2000-02-16 16:17:21.868117500 delivery 1: deferral:
Sorry,_message_has_wrong_owner._(#4.3.5)/

qmail-qsanity (latest version) output:
fletch# qmail-qsanity
uid incorrect (is 0, want 7779) on mess/21/22584
qmail-lint (latest version) is silent, so I'm assuming my basic config is OK.
1. The log and qmail-qsanity are pointing at the problem--but why isn't the correct
uid set for
this message? Manually chown'ing the message to qmails results in immediate delivery.
2. Injecting a message as a regular user results in:
fletch: 04:23pm ~ $ echo to: gordonm | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject

But will they get a bounce message??? I'm not sure I follow you with the
"not allowed to post." I'm fairly sure these people use a commercial
hosting service, and I doubt seriously that they are privy to maillogs..
Thanks

A failure of a MAIL FROM command issued to an SMTP server will render the
message undeliverable. It is the responsiblity of the sending SMTP server
to generate a bounce and send it to the sender in instances like this. If
the SMTP client is not a mail server but instead a mailer (which will
probably not be the case), it will notify the user directly. Either way,
the user will be notified.

Dear qmail gurus--
We recently installed qmail to replace sendmail under RedHat 5.1, and now
I'm losing mail.
The symptoms (under Eudora 3.0.1; no other clients tested): POP times out
and leaves the last message downloaded entirely blank (no headers, no
content), then _deletes_ the message, along with those it has successfully
downloaded, from the server.
Is there a setting in qmail which might help? Any other ideas?
Thanks very much for your time and consideration.
CYa,
JEREMY
Hi,
Can anyone tell me what the following error message means?
It from a machine that is quite happily running a number of virtual
domains. The machine name is cliserv.itworks.com.au and that is in
rcpthosts and locals.
There is a ~alias/.qmail-postmaster file and it has a valid forwarding
address in it. Other .qmail-* files in ~alias work fine. One thing I
notice is that when I send a mail to postmaster it calls mail.local but it
doesn't do so when mailing root...
