qmail can only log through syslog if you pipe output to splogger. The
LWQ instructions don't use splogger anywhere. Make sure your
/var/qmail/rc doesn't contain "| splogger".

Well, you can either figure out where you botched the LWQ
installation, or you can switch from splogger to multilog manually.
I can assure that lots of people using the LWQ install *are* receiving
and sending mail, so if you follow it carefully, it will work.

I am running the older version of daemontools and I still ppe my output thru
splogger? I have been reading that the newer version uses the multilog..
Is there any advantage to this.. Is it better not to go thru syslogd??
Thanks in advance

Of course. If there was no advantage to multilog over syslog, Dan
wouldn't have bothered to write multilog, and I wouldn't have bothered
to use it in LWQ.
The problems with syslog are:
security: syslog is a network service with no access control or
authentication. It has been the subject of security advisories in
the past.
reliability: syslog throws messages away if runs out of disk
space. It will happily fill up the entire filesystem it's logging
to.
efficiency: syslog is slow. On a busy mail server, syslog can use up
more CPU that the MTA.

Arisandy,
If your using the virtual domain "host1.bogus.com", and the computer
"host1.bogus.com" really exists, make sure it isn't in your
"./control/locals" file or qmail may try to forward mail to this computer,
which then forwards it back to the server for "bogus.com" creating a loop...

We run some rather large opt-in email 'ezines'. Throughput matters. The
more remotes sitting waiting on yahoo the less there are to handle the rest.
This morning I have 6 boxes each sitting pegged at 250 remotes. My total
throughput is typically about 300,000 per hour. Yesterday morning it was
140,000 per hour. It is somewhat better this morning (about 180,000 per
hour).

Well, you can always run more qmail-remotes.
But I'm curious why yahoo is consuming qmail-remotes. If connections
to yahoo.com are timing out, the tcpto mechanism should keep
qmail-remote from trying to connect. (See "man qmail-tcpto".) But if
connections are succeeding, the messages should either be delivered or
deferred. Either way, I don't see why large numbers of qmail-remotes
would be trying to send to yahoo.com for extended periods.

Connections to yahoo.com are accepted, then dropped. qmail does not report
this as a time out, but a 'Connection dropped' [don't know the exact
wording right now].
So, qmail will keep trying to deliver.
We should ask yahoo to either fix their mailhubs or break them more
thoroughly :)

I thought that 250 was the limit. It had something to do with number of
currentl remotes being passed in an 8 bit value between two programs. Has
this changed?

I just took a snapshot of one of my servers. Of 245 qmail-remotes 160
ofthem are for yahoo.com.
Here is what I see as yahoo.com MX records in DNS:
mx1.mail.yahoo.com internet address = 128.11.68.214
mx1.mail.yahoo.com internet address = 128.11.23.231
mx1.mail.yahoo.com internet address = 128.11.68.157
mx1.mail.yahoo.com internet address = 128.11.68.208
mx1.mail.yahoo.com internet address = 128.11.23.247
mx1.mail.yahoo.com internet address = 128.11.68.87
mx1.mail.yahoo.com internet address = 128.11.23.246
mx1.mail.yahoo.com internet address = 128.11.68.216
mx2.mail.yahoo.com internet address = 128.11.68.144
mx2.mail.yahoo.com internet address = 128.11.23.226
mx2.mail.yahoo.com internet address = 128.11.68.215
mx2.mail.yahoo.com internet address = 128.11.23.224
mx2.mail.yahoo.com internet address = 128.11.23.198
mx2.mail.yahoo.com internet address = 128.11.68.96
mx2.mail.yahoo.com internet address = 128.11.68.224
mx2.mail.yahoo.com internet address = 128.11.23.231
NS3.EUROPE.yahoo.com internet address = 194.237.108.51
NS1.yahoo.com internet address = 204.71.200.33
NS2.DCA.yahoo.com internet address = 209.143.200.34
NS5.DCX.yahoo.com internet address = 216.32.74.10
running 'qmail-tcpto | grep 128.11' produces:
128.11.22.89 timed out 946 seconds ago; # recent timeouts: 2
128.11.68.225 timed out 425 seconds ago; # recent timeouts: 1

128.11.68.144 timed out 41 seconds ago; # recent timeouts: 1
128.11.68.157 timed out 16 seconds ago; # recent timeouts: 1
This all seems reasonable except the 160 remotes connected to yahoo.com.

There is a very nice patch, written by somebody at SuSE, on www.qmail.org.
It works quite nicely.

Yeah, a little test earlier today showed me that at least one of their
hosts accepted a connection and then dropped it, which means qmail _will_
retry.

Well, that's more of a problem. The only *easy* solution is to force the
timeout values on the MX addresses in tcpto. I think that someone once posted
some perl or a program to do this.
Or, as I suggested earlier, put a bogus smtproutes entry in there that forces
qmail-remote to write a tcpto value on your behalf.
What both of these solutions mean though is that no attempts will be made to send
to yahoo.com
An alternative strategy is to create an instance of qmail that just deals with
yahoo.com
and have all the other systems smtproute to it.

I can't speak for anyone else, but In my case, yes I am hurting. We
maxed at 10k queued messages this morning, and it's eating up the
concurrencyremote.
Mail that's NOT for yahoo.com also gets stuck for several hours as
well.

If you have a machine that could act as a "data storage" you might want
to do this:
If this machine "datastor.example.com" has qmail running, add to
/var/qmail/control/rcpthosts
yahoo.com
.yahoo.com
and (has the same problems as it has the same MX)
yahoo.de
.yahoo.de
Then add lines to /var/qmail/control/virtualhosts
yahoo.com:yahoo.com
.yahoo.com:yahoo.com
yahoo.de:yahoo.com
.yahoo.de:yahoo.com
and to /var/qmail/users/assign
+yahoo.com-:dsmtp:UID:GID:/var/datastor/serialmail/yahoo.com:-::
If you don't have a /var/qmail/users/assign don't forget to add a line
with a "." (dot) as the last line of this file.
# mkdir -p /var/datastor/serialmail/yahoo.com
# echo './Maildir/' > /var/datastor/serialmail/yahoo.com/.qmail-default
# /var/qmail/bin/maildirmake /var/datastor/serialmail/yahoo.com/Maildir
# chmod -R go-w /var/datastor/serialmail/yahoo.com
# chown -R UID:GID /var/datastor/serialmail/yahoo.com
After that do
# /var/qmail/bin/qmail-newu
# kill -HUP <pid of qmail-send>
The first line creates a new cdb from users/assign the second line
causes qmail-send to reread control/virtualdomains.
Now datastor.example.com should be ready to take all the emails for
yahoo.com (and yahoo.de) and store them into a Maildir from where you
can send it on later, when the yahoo mailservers are functional again
via the serialmail package.
Now on your mailserver add lines to /var/qmail/control/smtproutes
yahoo.com:datastor.example.com
.yahoo.com:datastor.example.com
yahoo.de:datastor.example.com
.yahoo.de:datastor.example.com
This causes qmail to bypass MX delivery and use "datastor.example.com"
as a relay for the yahoo domains.
This should help you get rid of the yahoo mails in your queue. If you
want to speed this up, you do a
# kill -ALRM <pid of qmail-send>
on your mailserver.
Of course you can configure this on your mailserver as well (without using
a datastor.examaple.com") and loop all the mails one internal hop.
In that case on your mailserver add lines to /var/qmail/control/smtproutes
yahoo.com:mailserver.example.com
.yahoo.com:mailserver.example.com
yahoo.de:mailserver.example.com
.yahoo.de:mailserver.example.com
No guarantee for correctness or missing typos ;-))
but thats a way it should work.

That all sounds a little too complicated..
Why not just add:
yahoo.com:a.b.c.d
.yahoo.com:a.b.c.d
Where a.b.c.d is the IP addy of the "data storage" box,
and add yahoo.com/.yahoo.com to rcpthosts on the "data storage" box.
All of the yahoo mail will funnel over to the other box, allowing your main
server to take a breather.

Hmmm ... shouldn't that be
yahoo.com:[a.b.c.d]
.yahoo.com:[a.b.c.d]
when using IP addresses?

You're of course right.
But then you have 10000 eMails sitting in the queue there, eating up
CPU time, wasting (not too much of course) bandwidth and slowing down
possible other deliveries on that machine.
Putting them in a Maildir takes them out of everyones way (ok, poor amanda
may have a bit more work to do ;-) You can even burn them on CD and send
them to yahoo for local injection, like they made/sent tapes in the good old
BITNET days in times the transatlantic link was down for some time ;-)

"Life with qmail" is *not* oriented to big systems. It's *suitable*
for big systems, but I also use the LWQ installation on my 60 MHz
Pentium mailhub at home.

Only you can answer that question. *Can* you use qmail? Yes. Can qmail
do a good job? Yes. Would I recommend it over sendmail? Yes. Should
everyone use it? No.

If it's never connected to a network, there's not much need for an
MTA...but, of course, qmail can run on a standalone box.
>Has anyone

The closest I've come to that is a two-system Y2K testbed we set
up. It had no nameserver, and both systems delivered everything
locally.

I connect via a 28.8K modem and don't have a static IP address. My
local network uses the "sill" domain, e.g., sparge.sill, which is my
mailhub. I use the free dynamic DNS service at http://www.dyndns.org
to assign the FQDN sill.dyndns.org to my dynamic IP address. Outgoing
mail comes from either sill.dyndns.org or sill.org, never from a
*.sill domain.
The dyndns.org service has been very reliable for me, but if you want
to pay for the service, there are commercial providers like dyndns.com
(which I've never tried and can't vouch for).

You need *something* accessible via /usr/lib/sendmail or
/usr/sbin/sendmail to deliver local mail if you want to see cron job
errors and other system mail. I don't know if nullmailer does this,
but you wouldn't want mail to your local box's root to go to root on
your ISP's mailhub.

Yes, nullmailer handles this.

Than ask the question intelligently. Don't just say ``my qmail MTA is
accepting mails...''
1. Provide a transcript of the SMTP conversation with your qmail host.
2. Provide everything in your qmail logs relating to that conversation.
You will no doubt see something like the following:
...starting delivery 17: msg 4025 to local [EMAIL PROTECTED]
...delivery 17: failure: Sorry,_no_mailbox_here_by_that_name._(#5.1.1)/

He told you the truth. It should not be delivering these mails,
unless you've misconfigured qmail. Therefore, it's not a relay.
Therefore, there is no "qmail relay opened". A relay is a machine
that accepts mail from off site third parties and *delivers it* to
off site third parties.
You want a solution? Block all connections from the IP of the
machine that tries the relay. (This is one of those brain damaged
"spam tests", right?). This has showed up in this list many times,
and you should go through the list archives.

I wouldn't do that, blocking ORBS is one of the two ways to get in their

Which means... If the mail is accepted but NOT delivered (and therefor bounced some
time later), there is NO open relay problem.

Now for the obvious question, what does your /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts
file look like ? Is beachassociates.com in it ? Is it a virtual server (if
so, is it in /var/qmail/control/virtualservers and NOT in
/var/qmail/control/locals) or is it a local domain ?

Your default route may be munged.
Verify that you DO have a default route defined (i.e.. the DSL modem).

Hello,
I'm runing latest stable vpopmail and I enabled roaming smtp on
running ./configure . But it doesn't seem to work.
When a user authenticates on the pop3d and then tries to send
mail via smtp he always gets relaying denied.
My qmail-smtpd lines looks like this (from debian):
ulimit -v 4096
sh -c "start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --user qmaild \
--exec /usr/bin/tcpserver -- \
-u qmaild -g 65534 -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb 0 smtp \
/usr/sbin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1 | $logger -t qmail -p mail.notice &"
and the pop3d:
sh -c "/usr/bin/tcpserver -g1002 -u1002 \
0 pop3 /usr/sbin/qmail-popup `hostname`.`dnsdomainname` \
/home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /usr/sbin/qmail-pop3d Maildir &"
AFAIk the file /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb should be moodified because
thats it where tcpserver reads the realyclients information. But
when doing ls -l /etc/tcp* I see that the current /etc/tcp.smtp*
is not modified in any way (nor the .cdb file, I'm looking and
the modfied time stamp).
Do I need some special suid/sgid program to archieve this ? Or am
I doing something wrong in the init-startup scripts ?
If anyone needs more configuration information I can paste
everything you want.
A sidequestion: is /etc/tcp.smtp* really sufficient to rellay for
qmail ? don't i need some entry in /var/qmail/control/* ?
And .. Is this line sufficient for /etc/tcp.smtp ?

I can't answer the first question, but I can say that I've had great success
with Bruce Guenter's (sp?) qmail SRPMS. Check out <http://em.ca/~bruceg/>
and it's somewhere under qmail+patches or something... :)

Hello, I have small problem. I using qmail with fastforward+ezmlm, but
ezmlm create alias files for mailing list in old style:
.qmail-mylist
.qmail-mylist-default
.qmail-mylist-digest-owner
.qmail-mylist-digest-return-default
.qmail-mylist-owner
.qmail-mylist-return-default
i wan't use only /etc/aliases file. What I must write in /etc/aliases for
using ezmlm mailing list named mylist.
Tom
I am currently moving a large "default" email domain
to a vpopmail virtual domain. All of the bits and pieces
are completed except moving all the local aliases.
At present I am using fastforward in /var/qmail/alias/qmail-default:
| fastforward -d /etc/aliases.cdb
I have hundreds of aliases and have found fastforward a convenient way
of managing them (rather than hundreds of .qmail-name files). Can the
fastforward tool be used easily with vpopmail. It would be nice to have
the option of one aliases file per vdomain.
Any one had any experience with this?

Thkx in advance!!

P.S: ezmlm and qmail subscribers sorry for sending two mails!!
I see the problem. abc.com is MXed to disney.com is that what you wanted?
I think you should change that to point to your system, then everything
will work just fine.

I presume
Use tcpserver with -R
see also tcpserver(1), i.e. "man tcpserver".
If you dont need paranoia, throw in an -H as well.

Thanks to all that have replied, but I think I've found the culprit.
I've been hacked using a "known" BIND weakness. (Unknown to me!)
So, any way, I'll be cleaning up that mess this afternoon. :/
Anyone know if its safe to just verify/re-install the RPMs from CD, or
should I wipe it and start over?
Unfortunately, plugging every hole can be more difficult then starting
over. Plus, you'll always wonder.
It's best to just start clean, and dont plug in the network until you get
every hole patched.

Start over. You'll never know whether they've left a re-exploitable program on your
system somewhere. Have you checked for /usr/lib/math/fp/.setuid-root-shell?
Glad that you found the problem. You might also be interested to know that
the author of qmail has written an alternative to BIND and it comes with a
security gaurantee!
Regards.

No, it doesn't appear to exist, but since the system has been compromised,
who really knows? :/

I think you've got the idea exactly. As a general rule, once a bad guy
has had root they can do many many things to keep it or re-claim it.
Just a few exaples of the more obvious tricks:
1. Modify the rc start up scripts to create a setuid shell
somewhere.
2. Create a root cron that does the same.
3. Put an innocuous looking entry in inetd.conf which actually
starts a process as root for you.
4. Create an innoucuous looking user (nobody4 is a goodie) with a
uid of zero and a password you know.
5. Install an old version of sendmail.
6. Replace the passwd command with a wrapper that sends the username
and password to a remote address.
7. Modify your .profile to create a function for su that traps the
root password and emails it somewhere.
Regards.

clean...

also clean. I checked all the cron jobs after finding /bin/ns set to run
every minute as root. I have no idea what it does/did, but I didn't put it
there, and it isn't running now.
>3. Put an innocuous looking entry in inetd.conf which actually

just found this appended to the last line of the file, right after the qmail
entry I had installed the night before:
linuxconf stream tcp wait root /bin/linuxconf linuxconf --http
I certainly don't remember putting it there, so this makes me thing the
breach is worse than I at first thought. :/

Clean (for now)
Oh well, I'm learning a lot, which was part of the reason I built the server
in the first place. Thanks for the input.

If you're running a Red Hat system, that was probably put there by
linuxconf itself, which is probably running out of a startup entry like
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S99linuxconf -> ../init.d/linuxconf. In which case, it's
not cause for alarm.
Also, if you're running Red Hat, you might want to use rpm to verify all
packages against the installation CD.

I think you are right, since I checked into its security, and it was still
set up to only allow localhost. Probably not a problem. Just strange that
it got appended after I last appended something and after a security breach.

I did that, and very little asside from a large chunk of /etc came up
different. But isn't this also prone to problems if rpm was hacked? I
guess I could re-install rpm and then do it, but I think that all things
considered, I'll just wipe and re-install. I'll sleep better.
Thanks for the help,
John

Except that a bad guy who had root can install a replace ls/find/etc which
won't list his files. And if he's a little smarter, he can install a
kernel module which will hide his files from _every_ system utility. And
the kernel module hides itself...etc, etc.
If he wants to, he can keep just about anyone from finding the holes he's
left behind.

Yep. mail.somedomain.com isn't the MX for somedomain.com - so your system
is not resolving MX records properly. You'll need to fix that first.
Regards.
The domain works fine. I just changed it to somedomain.com.

Hi everyone !
I just have a little question. My qmail is an SMTP RELAY.
All work's okay in the wonderfull world of qmail without any
relaying problem...
But : my qmail domain is mydomain.com
How avoiding qmail accepting FROM THE INTERNET this :
MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
RCPT TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
As my qmail is a relay, he never have to accept mydomain.com from the
INTERNET...
I have think to add mydomain.com in the badmailfrom file, but the
internal SMTP machine (a TFS) will not be able to use the QMAIL to send
email to the world... (since all mail will be MAIL
FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Any idea? Is it possible to do a selective badmailfrom (or not parse
badmailfrom for the internal network)?
Regards from France, Christophe.

You better speak to the guy with somedomain.com as I think
the names are too similar and the Internet is getting
confused.

okay, so add 'if my domain is' mydomain.com...

no, just add useful information.
btw:
echo >/var/qmail/control/rcpthosts
then look into FAQ 5.4 if you haven't done this already.

In fact, RCPTHOSTS are okay : mydomain.com is accept and correctly
routed to the right gateway...
Other domain are rejected.
btw my problem is not with RCPT TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
It's when some one 'spoof' an internal adress ie MAIL
FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

I apologize in advance to the list for submitting yet another virtual domain
question. :) I searched through the archives looking for my answer and was
unable to find it.
I have set up a user for myself, rtandy, on my machine. His email is
[EMAIL PROTECTED], for example. I also wanted the email address
[EMAIL PROTECTED], so I used users/assign for this and added
=rob:rtandy:1000:100:/home/rtandy:-:rob:
the mail for [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s delivery instructions are then in
/home/rtandy/.qmail-rob. So far so good, everything works fine.
I also have another domain that resolves to my IP, mybox.com, for example.
I have added this domain to rcpthosts and locals as well as set DNS up
correctly. In fact without changing anything else, [EMAIL PROTECTED] goes
to the same place as [EMAIL PROTECTED], and [EMAIL PROTECTED] goes to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
I would like to set this up so that [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] go
to different maildirs. This is what I cameup with, any clues as to what's
wrong?
*** control/virtualhosts ***
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:rtandy-mybox
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:rtandy-mymachine
*** /home/rtandy/.qmail-mybox-rob ***
/home/rtandy/Mail/rob-mybox/
*** /home/rtandy/.qmail-mymachine-rob ***
/home/rtandy/Mail/rob-mymachine/
I figured mail for [EMAIL PROTECTED], would be turned into mail for
rtandy-mybox-rob via qmail-send and delivered locally which would look for
/home/rtandy/.qmail-mybox-rob for delivery instructions.
I also killed qmail-send with a HUP to reread local and virtual domains.
Is this correct?? It doesn't work when I
$ qmail-inject
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: TEST
hi
^D
If no one is able to solve my troubles, I would really like to figure out
how to tell if the virtualdomains file is consulted. You cannot tell just by the log
files. Also, I would like to be able to see what the To: header is
rewritten as after consulting virtualdomains, to help track down my errors in
setup.
Is *that* possible?
Thanks much in advance from a qmail newbie.

I installed my installation per the life with qmail page (well done, BTW).
But my logs are a little on the cryptic side. Here's and example:
@4000000038eb9dda14f29e14 status: local 1/10 remote 1/20
@4000000038eb9dda14f2d0dc delivery 5206: success: did_1+1+0/qp_24168/
@4000000038eb9dda14f3078c status: local 0/10 remote 1/20
@4000000038eb9dda14f3366c end msg 48326
I'm assuming that the "@4000000038eb9dda14f3366c" has to be some sort of
time stamp. Is there any way I can make this human-readable in the log or at
least pass it through something so that I can?
Interrestingly enough, when I was still logging to syslog, I didn't have
this problem.

Try sending the output of the file to the tai64nlocal filter.

If you REALLY want to do this, you will probably want to rewrite the
sender and from headers as well.
I am lost on this one :(
We do email accounting. Because of that I need some additional
information about the eMails passing through our servers. In the moment
I do this via QUEUE_EXTRA to an account "log" which has a small awk
script that outputs the Message-Id: and the second (from top) Received: line
These info shows up in the logfiles and I have a script that does the
accounting. So far so good :-)
What I dislike (and what consumes quite some CPU power) is this extra
delivery. So I've taken some time to look for a place to code it into
qmail (I can loose the Message-Id info)
A neat place would be in qmail-send extending the
info msg 376799: bytes 3183 from <> qp 3619 uid 106
with an IP information (remote IP if received via SMTP, 127.0.0.1 if
received locally/bounce/alias/...). But qmail-send doesn't know about
the IP any longer.
qmail-queue does know about it and it also knows about the msgnum the
message will get and adding output to stderr (fds 0,1 are already used) e.g.
acctinfo msg 52537: a.b.c.d
acctinfo msg 52537: 127.0.0.1
works fine at first glance, but does only work with messages injected
via qmail-smtpd but not with locally injected messages (e.g. via
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject) as it will not show up in the logfiles
but on stderr :-<
Any ideas?
If the solution would include the Message-Id it would be kinda perfect ;-)
Thanx,
\Maex

I am running qmail server with the several
domain names and running POP3.
I have all the domains are listed in rcpthosts
and locals and so far it been ok but now I have
two different users with the same username on the differnt domains and the
problem is they sharing same maildirectory. In addition everyuser on the system
can recive e-mail on all of the domains that are listed in locals. (they do not
know about it)So with the current setup i have someuser
which can recive e-mail on everydomain that i have. (I hope it make sence)
I tried to fix this by removing domain from locals and puting it in
virtualdomains file ex:
doesnotwork.com:someuser
e-mail disappers somewhere.
I have red everything I could find on virtual domains and I
thougt I got it, but looks like I did not. More things I tried more confused I
got =(

1) The user "someuser" has to exist on your system. All emails to
@doesnotwork.com
are delivered according to the .qmail* files in this users $HOME.
The $HOME and the $HOME/.qmail* files of this user may not be
writable by anyone besides that user.
2) you have to delete "doesnotwork.com" from /var/qmail/control/locals
in order to make the line in control/virtualdomains become effective.
It also is a good idea to add another line
.doesnotwork.com:someuser
to control/virtualdomains to also have e.g.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
under control of user "someuser".
3) you have to "kill -HUP <pid of qmail-send>" to force qmail to
reread control/locals and control/virtualdomains
4) send a test mail and have a look at your logfiles. Do you see any
errors?

If you have in control/virtualdomains
test.com:joeuser
.test.com:joeuser
And "joeuser" has the $HOME of "/home/joeuser" qmail looks for a
/home/joeuser/.qmail-test
or in case it does not exist
/home/joeuser/.qmail-default (which is kinda wildcard for *@test.com)
If none of those exists you get the above error.
This files should contain valid delivery instructions, e.g.
./Maildir/ (delivery to /home/joeuser/Maildir/)
or
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (forward to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Is Qmqpd known to consume a lot CPU?
My Qmqpd is getting a lot of share of CPU.
Situation: Mail is being delivered very slowly on one of the
mailservers running qmail. It speeds up when I do a HUP on qmail-send
and kill -ALRM on qmail-send. Seems like it is not triggering
before I do mess with qmail-send. The lock/trigger file seems
to have the proper permissions. Any idea of what might be
happening and why mail starts rolling only when I mess with qmail-send.
Thanks,
Len
AOL... Yeah, I know.
Anywho, I have a couple accounts that are forwarded to friends on AOL. Or
at least that's what they're SUPPOSED to do. I tested 'em out today and
noted that they are not arriving and the qmail log says:

Connected_to_205.188.156.162_but_sender_was_rejected./Remote_host_said:_501_SYNTAX_ERROR_IN_PARAMETERS_OR_ARGUMENTS/
Out of curiosity, I telnetted to 205.188.156.162 on 25 and tried to
manually get it to accept a message. I received the same error! Here's a
transcript:

I can't imagine what I'm doing wrong... I've even tried every possible
combination of upper and lower case, even though the RFC specifically
states either is acceptable. Or is AOL just not accepting mail today?
;-)

Try 'mail from:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>'. I tried, it accepted me nicely.

And I do get this error when I omit the < >.
Why qmail is triggering this behaviour is beyond me, unfortunately.

You are indeed correct. Any ideas about why qmail is getting the same

Argh!
Somebody give these people some clue:

Since when do you need to _crack_ a code if you already have the key?
Otherwise, good news!

I have been working on the qmail-howto v2, I would appreciate it if some
people on the list could look it over and make sure there aren't any glaring
errors, the url is http://www.flounder.net/qmail/qmail-howto-v2.html . The
howto now covers setting up qmail using the latest daemontools, with svscan.
It will be released under the OpenContent license, ala LWQ.

Hi there,
i'm using some fine init-scripts for qmail and a qmail-wrapper (/var/qmail/rc) :
[root@mohawk qmail]# cat rc
#!/bin/sh
# Using splogger to send the log through syslog.
# Using procmail to deliver messages to /var/spool/mail/$USER by default.
exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \
qmail-start '|preline procmail' splogger qmail
[root@mohawk qmail]#
procmail isn't patched to use Maildir delivery but, how ever, it works fine with
Maildir?!
Can someone explain this to me? Do i need to use procmail here? Why does it work
without a patched procmail?!?!
Thanks a lot,
Thomas

How did you tell it to deliver to Maildir?

/var/qmail/rc only contains the _default_ delivery instructions. .qmail
files in your home directory override this.

I'm confused. I bet the mail is somewhere but I don't know where it could be.
I used maildir2mbox to convert a Maildir and it worked great. I then used it
once more and now I can't figure out where it put my mail. There is no file
./kplug like I expected there to be but ./kplug.0300/ sure is empty. I used
the following environment variables:
MAIL="./kplug"
MAILDIR="./kplug.0300"
MAILTMP="/home/treed/foo"
Can anyone hazard a guess as to where my mail might be or where I went wrong?

Thanks to the ability to make a fool of myself in public I was able to find my
mail. It was in /tmp/mail. How it got there I have no clue. I'm sure I would
not have found it had I not waved a dead chicken over the computer and posted

1. the logging with >> is not very nice and i am looking for a nice

2. the file qmail.log is always 0 (no logging) even though i telnet to
port 25 and send myself succesfully a mail.
3. this machine is a secondary MX receiver, so i would like to know,
how much emails qmail-smtpd received, but qmail-send did not already
send them to the main MX mail-server. the mails are in the queue, but
how can i get the number of mails there?
any hints are greatly appreciated.
