Hi all,

We have a mail server with qmail and vpopmail and all is working right
except that we have an address which is [EMAIL PROTECTED] and another one
which is [EMAIL PROTECTED] and the mails sent to the second address go to
the first. The rest of addresses works right. We have addresses with
hypens, dots and all them work right

What can be the problem?

That's interesting. This is the third report of people having
problem with this. Basicly vpopmail is thinking that abc-def is
an exension of abc. It's easy to tweak the code. Perhaps the
next version of vpopmail should be more clear on the subject
or be configurable to turn it off. 

To fix:
Edit vdelivermail.c
Comment out lines 157 to 165 and replace with a single line:

        pw_data = vauth_getpw(user, host);

You mean particular (outside) address [EMAIL PROTECTED]? 
Simply put

in ~alias/.qmail-forbidden-default and HUP qmail-send to reread

What does "spinning its stead" mean? Is that computer lingo? What makes you
think that those four instances of qmail-pop3d are replacements for the
original one? What makes you think the original one "gave up"?

This is incomprehensible.

What did you expect it to do? How is is failing? What *is* /var/qmail/sendmail?
It doesn't exist in a standard qmail installation.

Chris




It means that the ~44min processing done by one qmail-pop3d (stopped/defunct), and
now appear 4 qmail-pop3d spinning ( where the longest running has accumulated ~36
minutes at this moment in time )

quoting from that file's README.spamcontrol file:

"Since QMAIL by contruction is an OPEN RELAY, some vulnerability may be
experienced not in particular to the QMAIL system itself (which can 
stand a heavy load), but for other MTAs which are flooded by
SPAM E-Mail. "

You're kidding, right?  qmail is by construction an open relay??  And, 
the reason not to be an open relay is because you'll be blocked
because of the spam that (eventually) comes through your site.  Spam
is itself not a serious load on anybody's MTA -- not even sendmail.

Pls. have a look into my improved README. I tried to be as specific as
possible. If I am mistaken, pls. correct me.

We have a lot of discussion about that subject in the QMAIL mailinglist
without bringing it to the point.

SPAM and the abuse of SMTP MTAs is a severe problem, because the QMAIL FAQ
is not specific enough at that item. From SYSADMINs who use QMAIL (I am
responsible for an environment with 5000 local users) I know, that making
QMAIL SPAM-proof is not that easy.

I dont know, whether employing TCPSERVER and calling ORBs or others is the
perfect solution. I am always suspicious about other people's "thats the
right way to do". 

For the next version of QMAIL it would be a preferred solution to include
the canonical SPAM filters nativeley into QMAIL-SMTPD. The information can
be grepped via the TCPSERVER environment at run-time. 

Sincerly,
eh.

If you install qmail as per the included documentation, you won't be running an
open relay. How will looking at RFC 2505 convince anyone otherwise?

I don't really understand this, but don't count on qmail2 having a bunch of
spam filtering fluff built in.

        And ?  I just looked at it.  qmail (when configured correctly) does
1 through 5 (the musts and must nots).
        It does 6a and 6b (providing the person sending the
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> address has permission to relay).  
        qmail does 7a, 7b, It does 8 when you use tcpserver...

        Are you talking  Open Relay or SPAM ?  They are related but not the
same.  By default, qmail is NOT an open relay.  If you misconfigure it (by
deleting the /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts file, for example) then all bets
are off.

        There is no "right" solution, only a solution that's "right" for the
person who is implementing it.

I somehow doubt that it is going to happen.  Anti-SPAM is NOT a part of mail
transport, there for I really doubt that DAB would even consider adding it
to Qmail 2.x

Apparently.

qmail, when installed according to the instructions, is not an open
relay.  Of the recommendations in RFC2505, qmail meets all but 8, 9,
10.  By "qmail", I mean qmail and any associated programs supplied by
Dan Bernstein.

Yes, spam can load an open relay.  However, nobody with any sense has
an open relay.  Why?  Because you WILL be reported to ORBS and RSS,
and you WILL be blocked.  It only takes one person to report the spam.

I've never seen a single system for which spam is a serious percentage 
of the traffic.  Perhaps there are peaks from time to time, but qmail
handles peaks very well.

Making *any* email system spam-proof is impossible.  The best you can
do is cut down on the amount of spam by filtering on the source.
qmail has the tools required to do that (tcpserver and rblsmtpd).

It's simply not possible to eliminate spam in the long term by
filtering on any characteristics of the mail itself.  I've been
getting spammed ever since spam first existed.  Recently even *I* have
been fooled for a moment into thinking that the spam was a legitimate
piece of email.  Over time, all spam will come to be like that.  The
more you filter on content, the faster that time will come.

Ignore economics at your peril.

At <URL:http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/Erwin_Hoffmann/spam.htm>,
you write:

   Even if you use (e.g. QMAIL as) a restricted SMTP relay SPAMMERS may
   manipulate either the SENDER (MAIL FROM:) or the RECIPIENT (RCPT TO:)
   address of E-Mails, making your MTA believe
   1) that this E-Mail is originated by itself,
   2) accepting it and send the SPAM E-Mail to a third party (target) MTA,
    which in turn sees this E-Mail to originate from your MTA/Domain,
   3) turning your MTA effectively into a host for SPAM E-Mails.

Now, I haven't read (all of) the source to qmail - but for my (pretty 
straightforward) qmail/rblsmtpd installation, this is simply *not* true.

AFAIK, qmail doesn't *care* about SENDER when deciding wether or not to 
relay:

xs3 is xs3.xs4all.nl, a shell account with my ISP. my.example.com is my
mailserver, and yes, example.com is in rcpthosts (obscured to protect the 
innocent - me; otherwise this is a verbatim copy of the session). 
./control/badmailfrom doesn't exist on my system.

Spammers only comply with ./control/smtpgreeting when forced to do so by 
rblsmtpd, by the way.

Ugh. I'm sure many people disagree (see also: 'Unix as it should be' ;-)

BTW, some of the suggestions in RFC 2505 are just plain worthless; items 
like 7a and 7b for example will only work for as long as Rule #3 (Spammers 
are stupid) applies. I'm seeing more and more spam with legitimate from 
addresses; some spammers are less stupid than others, apparently. Also, RFC 
2505 doesn't *require* a 4xx response; it just sais it's more appropriate 
for many situations.

The #5.7.1 code is defined by RFC 1893, by the way, which says "it's only 
useful as a permanent error". Go figure.

I still can't figure out how you can administer email for 5000 users and 
claim that email is an open relay by construction.

Can we get back to the T-shirt thread now?

Vince.





Hi,

I'm new to Qmail (bet you get that alot).  Just wondering if
there is a command to remove a list, or if it is as simple as
removing the directory?

thanks,

You mean an ezmlm list? Remove the directory and the associated .qmail-* files.

Hi,

I want to have imapd use Maildir format maildrops and use vchpw also.

Does anyone do this, are there patches available for imap-maildir (or
another imap server) or is there another method of implementing this?


Thanks in advance,

Cheers,

Del.

You can try http:/www.inter7.com/courier-imap. Someone sent me
a modified wu-imap server. Let me know if you want to try the
wu-imap

Ken,

Does this work with Netscape?  I was under the impression that Netscape has
a broken IMAP implementation.

If this is the case then what alternatives are out there, and what do other
people on the group use?


Regards,

Derek.

But that means I have to leave the list open for anybody to send to,
right?  It can't be a members-only list then?  I'd prefer not to do that,
but if I don't have a choice then I don't have a choice.  Or perhaps
there's an accept/deny rule for unsubscribed people attempting to send
mail to the list (I don't want other robots/spammers able to send mail to
the list, only legitimate subscribers), so I can deny all except for one
specific email address (the robot) and allow all members...  is something
like this possible?

Thank you for your help!

Subscribe the robot to the list with an address that doesn't cycle
back to the list. Set the envelope return path on the robot's
submissions to this address. E.g.:

  [EMAIL PROTECTED] resends submissions to the list
  [EMAIL PROTECTED] goes to either a different mailbox or is
    thrown away

  Messages from "robot" to the list have return path of
    [EMAIL PROTECTED]

  Messages from the list to robot go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hmmm...  I never thought about that...  That would definately work.  Thank

  Even better, it pipes it to a program which will grep the message for
references to itself, run that through Eliza, and send it back to the list.

There have been a number of suggestions, but I think the easiest and most
correct way of doing this is to subscribe the robot's e-mail address to
dir/allow. Look at the -u option in the ezmlm-make man page.

This may require ezmlm-idx; I don't know because I don't have the vanilla ezmlm
installed.

Well, it does require some context.  First off, although the book was 
published in 1994, most of the stuff in it was about 5 years old even then.

As far as why a better OS hadn't been made?  Well, that's also part of the 
context.  It's kinda a VHS beats Betamax or Microsoft beat Apple kind of 
thing.  The *reason* most of us were griping about Unix so much is because we 
had been using better OSes and had to switch to Unix because our favorite OSes 
lost market share.  I was a Lisp Machine administrator and before that worked 
for Symbolics.  The Symbolics LispM was a great OS sold by a company that had 
no concept of marketing whatsoever.  We used to talk about how the system was 
ten years ahead of the rest of the industry.  Well, 15 years later, there are 
still things that it did better than anything out there.  It's a terrible 
shame that it didn't get the opportunity to evolve into the era of the world 
wide web.

See some of my entries in the book for more opinions on this topic (although 
they are 11 years ago now).

And yes, there is a lot of whining in the book.

I see only 1 patch listed at qmail.org, and it wasn't well received

I just installed qmail and attempted to set up pop3d.  I start qmail and get the following erroe:

You ran tcpserver on the pop3 port while it (or inetd) was already
running and listening to that port.

-Dave




Joel. This error means that when you ran tcpserver, something else was already listening on port 110. `netstat -an | grep LISTEN` to see which ports are being listened on. Make sure you remove anything in inetd.conf, then -HUP inetd.

 I'm setting up a webmail system, with qmail/courier IMAP at the backend.

 One of my users today setup mail so his from: lines had more detail. It
should look like:

 From: User O'Surname <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

 Instead, it's;

 From: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?User=D3_Sur?=
    name <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

 What can cause header's to be wierdly encoded like that ? It's only
cosmetic; mails still get around, but some mail clients break up the name
completely (so it would be from [EMAIL PROTECTED], and to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
plus a load of parts of the "full name", with "@domain.com" added to it.

Hi,
these headers are being added by you MUA. When some of the headers contain
8-bit caracters the MUA is responsible (RFC rule - mail headers are 7-bit
only) for MIME encoding them.

Your webmail client should encode/decode them when necessary.

the format is easy =?CODE-PAGE?ENCODING-TYPE?STRING?=
.....................^^^^^^^^^.^^^^^^^^^^^^^.^^^^^^..

There's a RFC for this, look it up ;)

In other words: this has nothing to do with qmail/courier

ratao

Probably the MUA (webmail?) being extra careful 'cause of the single
quote character.

User O'Surname should try configuring it to use:

  "User O'Surname" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

or

  [EMAIL PROTECTED] (User O'Surname)

   I'm using daemontools + tcpserver to handle FTP services.  We use the
   FreeBSD version of "ftpd" ported to Solaris, with all syslog()
   information going to stdout and then being handled by a modified version
   of cyclog.  A modified version of the startup script from "Life with
   qmail" is used to start and stop the server.

   As soon as I'm happy with the script and logging setup, I'll do the same
   for telnet, pop, etc. and then shoot inetd in the head.

Hey,


I've been distracted from developing a qmail test-bed with the following
Sendmail problem, and I'm concerned about the same problem in qmail.

We're using the popauth hack (for roaming users) and the DUL-RBL.  This
works great, unless a popauth-OK'ed address is in the DUL.  The DUL is
checked first.  Since checks end with a reject on matches to the rbl, the OK
in popauth.db is never seen, and all outgoing mail from the user bounces,
even though they've authenticated via POP.

I understand that things flow in the opposite direction here, but it seems
like the problem remains-- at least according to my rudimentary knowledge of
qmail.  First, tcpserver checks tcp.smtp.cdb and passes the connection with
x.x.x.x:allow,RELAYCLIENT="".  Later in the pipe we encounter instances of
rblsmtpd.  $RBLSMTPD is not set, so a lookup is done, and matched against
the DUL, and the mail is rejected.  rblsmtpd doesn't care about the status
of $RELAYCLIENT, and the message never reaches qmail-smtpd, because the pipe
has already closed.

If I were using a simple /etc/tcp.smtp file, I'd gather the answer would be
to modify lines to read x.x.x.:allow,RELAYCLIENT="",RBLSMTPD="".  Perhaps
this is a solution for customers using our dial-ups.  But I'm concerned with
roaming users.  I'm using Vpopmail with --enable-roaming-users, and this
adds its own lines to the cdb.

Would I need to modify the Vpopmail source to add the RBLSMTPD=""
assignment?  Am I imagining bogymen and there's no problem?  Or is there a
problem, but with a simple solution I've missed?

Thanks,

        Mark Tippetts




This is a problem as you specified it.  You need to modify vpopmail to add
the RBLSMTPD="" entry and things will work as you want them to.

  Be sure to put in your domain name.  My lines are long, I chopped them

GID numbers as well.  While we're at it, this might not work on anything
but Linux.  That enough to worry about?

Hi,

I'm still new to qmail :-(, therefore one question:

is it possible to use procmail for a user in a virtual domain? If yes, how?

I'm looking for a solution of following problem (at qmail, on sendmail it
will work):

Virtual pop accounts (in same virtual domain):
        peter
        list4peter

Major incoming virtual user alias for all e-mails (normal and maillists):
        [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Now procmail should sort out all e-mails from maillists and forward them to
"list4peter". At the moment, this works well on a sendmail-based system,
but I want to move it to qmail.

Thanks for answers,
        Peter

Just subscribe to all list with adresses like [EMAIL PROTECTED]
You do not need procmail for mailinglists with qmail.

I am missing some pieces that are needed to compile the functions etc prior to installing qmail. 
where do I get
ld-linux.so.2
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.0)
libresolv.so.2(GLIBC_2.0)
 
When I install the functions and Daemon tools do I just do
 
rpm --recompile filename.rpm to install
 
as you can tell I am new to linux

You should be able to find those on the Linux install CD. Since you're 
using rpm, you're probably using Red Hat, so look in RedHat/RPMS.

How did you start it?  Did you kill or restart svscan?

Is the above space in the file itself?  Do local clients send to
127.0.0.1, or do they send to the address of one of your other network
interfaces?  What does the rest of the smtp.rules file say?

Nope.  Just run tcprules (or maketcprules, which rebuilds everything in
/etc/tcpcontrol).
