Where can I set the TZ for qmail? It's currently using GMT (although both my
h/w clock and my TZ is set to EST). This kinda gets annoying. :)
Thanks,
Aled.
I believe by default qmail is supposed to always use GMT no matter what... this
is something of a feature?
anyway, there is a small patch here:
ftp://ftp.nlc.net.au/pub/unix/mail/qmail/qmail-date-localtime.patch to make
qmail use your local timezone...

Yes. Since using GMT would allow better ease in tracking down mail problems
(if everyone used GMT instead of some using EST, EDT, PST, etc.).

You can't. qmail does all its timestamping in UTC (GMT). If you're
interested to know why, search the recent archives - there was a long
discussion about this issue.

I'll just add a note that I've written a patch for the Mutt mailer
which will translate all Received header dates to the local TZ. It's
not too pretty, but it works for me.
My patch can be found at http://www.iki.fi/wiz/mutt/
Mutt home page is at http://www.mutt.org/

Seriously, increment them in unison until something breaks, then
decrement 10% or so.

Users don't have to be added to qmail. However, if you want their mail
to go to some other place than the default mailbox, they need to have
a properly formatted .qmail file. And if their mailbox is a maildir,
it has to exist, be owned by them, and be a maildir--not just a
directory.

Hi All,
How does one set the amount of time a message is deferred before
it is returned to sender, I would like to chop it down to say 3 to 5 days,
etc?

What headers should be added at the begining of an email so that qmail
shows it in HTML format.
Thanks.

None. qmail doesn't look at the headers and doesn't care what format the
message is in as long as there are no bare line feeds.

Well... my problem is that qmail is adding the following at the end of the
email:
X-Mozilla-Status: 0000
X-Mozilla-Status2: 00000000
X-UIDL: 951326338.17800.ns
And all the HTML is before this 3 lines and when I look it in my mail client
I only get the Subject, Date, From and To lines....
Everything else is hidden as if it was part of the header of the email.
Thanks

No, qmail isn't. (Why do people always blame this kind of garbage on
qmail?) But it looks like Netscape (== Mozilla) is.

I don't think qmail is adding those, I think netscape is adding
those.

No, qmail is NOT adding these lines. Either your mail client is adding
those lines or the mail client that is sending the email is adding those
lines. qmail ONLY adds a Delivered: and a Return-Path: header and those
are added at the top of the message.

No, you need to educate yourself a bit more how E-mail works. Until you
have a fairly good understanding how an arbitrary E-mail message gets from
point A to point B, what software is involved, and what each piece of
software does, you will only confuse yourself even more.
Start with the following documents: RFC 821, RFC 822, RFC 2045.

Hi there.
This might be a weird question, but I need to change the text in the
responses that qmail gives to the remote MUA when in an SMTP/ESMTP dialogue.
I just want to be able to edit the text, not the numeric codes. Is there an
easy way to do this? If not, can someone point me to the right source file
so I can edit and recompile.
Thanks!
Aled.

qmail-1.03/qmail-smtpd.c
Regards, Uwe
I've noticed in another list that I am subscribed to that hitting 'Reply' on
the email always goes back to the list, but there is no 'Reply-To:' header,
however, there are two other mysterious headers; 'X-Mailing-List' and
'X-Loop'.
Do these or a combination of them allow mail clients to get the 'Reply-To'
going to the list without getting vacation programs and the like to bounce
mail back to the list?
Can they be used with 'headeradd' to get qmail to do the same thing?
If these do what I think they do, do most mail clients understand them?
An example from the other list follows:

I just installed scan4virus (plus the QMAILQUEUE patch, and Time-HiRes)
on my Slackware 7 (kernel 2.2.14) box with mcaffee's viruscanner. Now,
when my mail hub tries to send me my mail I get:

Perhaps this has something to do with the softlimit in my

Any ideas?

`/var/qmail/bin/antivirus-qmail-queue.pl -g` seems to work just fine
though.
the /var/spool/qmailscan dir and everything in it is chown qmailq:qmail.

You did install it setuid qmailq like the docs said?
You did run "/var/qmail/bin/antivirus-qmail-queue.pl -z" like it says?
Are all the files under /var/spool/qmailscan/ owned by qmailq, group qmail
like they should be?
Is /var/spool/qmailscan/ writable by qmailq?
Let me know (as I'm the author) - if there are some instructions that aren't
intuiative - let me know as I certainly don't like hearing about this sort
of thing happening.
Also, I surprised you didn't test it before going live!!! :-)

I didn't. I'm testing it on my PC, not my MX or mailhub. Eek, I can't
imagine having my ~2300 users storming into my office ... ;-)
To answer the email you sent me as well, yes, I think it was 0.17 that I
installed. I did follow the instructions, and they were quite clear, or
I thought so anyway. Everything seemed to go fine. Part of the problem
was my stupidity, when I installed the first time, well, my default
umask is 077, so that screwed the install.
I fixed all the permissions problems (which was causing the `rm`
commands to fail) and the issue with find (I just put the full path into
the script). But I am still getting the errors about:
X-Scan4Virus: cannot open
/var/spool/qmailscan/antivirus-qmail-queue-version.txt - did you
initialise the system by running
"/var/qmail/bin/antivirus-qmail-queue.pl -z"? - Permission denied
To answer the error ... yes I did run that command and it worked just
fine. I have reinstalled, from scratch, 3 times now, followed the
instructions exactly, and made sure to install with my umask set to 022.
But I still get that one error in my smtpd logs.
I will try out the stuff you sent me and get back to you.

OK... I have a problem with qmail receiving deliverables into the
queue/mess, and then they sit there without being delivered to the
appropriate Maildir for anywhere from 10 to 45 minutes! I have recently
switched to linux/qmail from NT/Exchange, and the employees here are used to
instantaneous delivery - at least within our own company! I'm trying to aim
for 1- or 2-minute delays at most (since that's what is configured as their
mailbox-checking interval in their Outlooks).
Help?
Also - I keep getting "warning: unable to stat mess/14/375328" messages in
my
/var/log/maillog.

Sounds like a classic case of a broken trigger. See

I installed tcpserver so that I can run qmail under it. I start it with
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -R -u 505 -g 504 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1 \
| /var/qmail/bin/splogger smtpd &
505 is the qmaild ID and 504 is the nofiles ID.
I rebooted the system and can see with ps auxfw:
qmaild 445 0.0 0.3 1196 492 ? S 10:52 0:00
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -u 505 -g 504 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail
root 446 0.0 0.2 1084 304 ? S 10:52 0:00
/var/qmail/bin/splogger smtpd 3
When running under inetd I could send mail using the "mail" program. Now I can't.
Any suggestion?

Is there any particular reason that qmail-inject uses env_get("*USER") instead
of getuid and getpwuid (or just cuserid)?
If anyone is familiar with qualcomm qpopper (2.53, at least), using POP-send
changes the UID to the proper user and the GID to mail, but leaves the
environment as root's. Under sendmail this is not a problem, but since
qmail-inject uses the environment alone, all messages end up with a return-path
of root.
If no one has a good reason that i should leave it alone, please let me know.

When will you be able to inject mail via the POP protocol?
qmail-inject is only used for local injection.
You can do the exact same thing on the command line:
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject -f root
What is the security problem here?

/magnus
--
http://x42.com/
There wouldn't be any security problem... since qmail-inject is not setuid,
users would have the same privileges and could do the same thing themselves if
they so desired. That was not my point.
qmail-inject is called by the sendmail wrapper. Using XMIT, qpopper calls
sendmail, or in this case, the wrapper (XMIT comes in handy for user
authentication with eudora for sending mail). qpopper sets the user to the
person logging in, and the group to mail, but it leaves the user environment
(usually the calling user would be root) untouched. You then have a user
sending mail with uid <user_id>, gid mail, and USER and LOGNAME variables of
'root'. This is where my point comes into play -- qmail-inject checks
environment variables _only_, and finds root. The message is then sent out
with a return-path of [EMAIL PROTECTED], and any bounced messages are sent to
root, and _not_ to the actual sender. Some broken mail clients even use the
return-path for replying to mail, ignoring the inserted "From:" header.
I have two choices in this case:
1. i can modify qpopper (again) and add a calling argument of '-f
<user>', or change the USER variable after setuid().
2. i can modify qmail-inject to check the user itself if it finds no
QMAILUSER (and perhaps MAILUSER) variable(s).
The second option will probably help more in the long run, though the first
does certainly improve qpopper's style.
Based on some short tests, cuserid() seems to work improperly on some platforms
(i.e. irix), so getpwuid(getuid())->pw_name would be the (portable) way to go.
Again, if anyone has any serious reasons why changing this is a bad idea,
please let me know.

Speaking of that mbox2maildir tool - I notice that it doesn't attempt to
retain read status of messages - i.e. they all go into "new" instead of into
both "new" and "cur".
Here's my cut on this script. It runs as
"mbox2maildir /full/path/mboxfile /full/path/maildir"
...AND it doesn't delete the original like some of these others do! (owch!)

mbox2maildir.pl
jbuce.diff (qmail 1.03, 12/11/98, "Birthday Edition"), as found from
ftpsearch.lycos.com has a minor typo, which results in all (non-relaying) mails
being allowed through, even if they're listed in badmailfrom, have no dns
entry, or are incorrectly formatted.
To correct the typo, change line 881 from
+ if (str_len(mailfrom) == 0) return 0;
to
+ if (str_len(mailfrom.s) == 0) return 0;
(initial tab inserted for clarity).
Otherwise, all mails will be considered as having a null return-path, and this
function (bmfcheck()) will return immediately, boding acceptance.
I searched through the archives and could find nothing relating to this
point.

I am trying to see if qmail can do what I want but am having some problems
getting started.
question:
1) I would like to keep using /var/spool/mail as the directory to hold mail.
How can I get this to work? I read the docs but they are unclear to me.
2) When I try and do a local-local test I get this error, what is going on?

This question comes up about every six hours.
The best way to remove something from the queue is to allow time to pass.
Eventually, qmail will bounce the message and remove it from the queue itself.
If really want it out now, locate the message in /var/qmail/queue/info/*, and
use touch -t to make the file appear to be really old (maybe touch -t
01010000). qmail will attempt one more delivery, and then the message will
bounce.
Chris
/var/qmail/bin/qmHandle -dN
What it does is stop qmail, delete all files for msg N
(mess,info,remote,local), and restart qmail.

I used snoop on Solaris to capture the packets on port 25... The first
exchange seems fine, I see a DATA command, qmail says "354 go ahead". Then
there's a packet whose data ends with \r\n from the client, empty response
from server, then there's a packet with this in it:
"X-EM-Version: 4, 5, 0, 6\r\nX-EM-Registration: #3113420714600B"
Immediately following this packet is the 451 See blah blah... response from
the server.
Does this seem right? Does that packet need to end with \r\n? Should the
\r\n in the middle of the line not be followed with more information? It
doesn't seem like it should matter (especially since we're in the DATA part,
and smtp shouldn't be taking commands...)

If you read the "blah, blah", and go to the website mentioned, you will find

a file in /var/qmail/queue/mess doesn't belong to the user qmailq.
This is usually an installation problem, but could also be a sign of a
security problem.
You might find qmail-lint (see www.qmail.org) useful.

I _know_ what INTERNALS says Dan, but try this test and you'll see that
it does leave the queue in a corrupt state
echo "echo "Fpsamuel\0Tpsamuel\0" > /tmp/envelope
echo hello | qmail-queue 1</tmp/envelope
Because the envelope details do NOT end with two NULL characters,
qmail-queue exits with a 91 and does NOT unlink the mess or intd file.

And this is what happens when the envelope details are empty
echo hello | qmail-queue 1</dev/null
You'll note that the intd and mess files are unlinked. ie qmail-queue
does the right thing.

I'm running qmail-1.03, Solaris 2.5.1
I can repeat this with qmail-1.03 running Linux 2.0.36 as well.

I _know_ what INTERNALS says Dan, but try this test and you'll see that
it does leave the queue in a corrupt state
echo "echo "Fpsamuel\0Tpsamuel\0" > /tmp/envelope
echo hello | qmail-queue 1</tmp/envelope
Because the envelope details do NOT end with two NULL characters,
qmail-queue exits with a 91 and does NOT unlink the mess or intd file.
But that's not a corrupt state according to INTERNALS. That is state
S3. According to INTERNALS, qmail-send will clean it up after 36
hours.
It may not be what you want, but it's not corrupt.

OK. I'll grant you that it's not corrupt per se. However, the original
thread of this discussion was (to paraphrase the original poster):
why does qmail-qstat show messages in the queue, while qmail-qread
doesn't show anything
My example shows one such way in which this might occur.
So, instead of saying the queue is corrupt (which is incorrect), how
about I say:
qmail-queue is not consistent in its behaviour when processing
invalid envelope details.

"If you kill all your unhappy customers, you'll only have happy ones left"
I have finally decided to start experimenting with Maildirs. I rely heavily on
procmail to do my mail sorting for me. I set up a test rule:
:0
* ^[EMAIL PROTECTED]
* ^Subject: test
test.`/bin/date +%m%y`/new
Mail to me with a subect of test goes to the specified maildir. Is it really
necessary to append /new to the name of the Maildir? If I don't the mail gets
dropped into directory test.`/bin/date +%m%y`. But I notice in procmail's
config.h it specified the names of the different directories that make up a
Maildir so procmail should know to drop it into Maildir/new instead of
Maildir.
Also, I find my little `/bin/date +%m%y` trick to be quite handy for
preventing mailboxes from growing to unmanageable sizes. Automatically rolling
over each month is nifty. Before procmail would create the new mbox files for
me automatically. It won't automatically create Maildirs for me. Anyone have a
solution?
