I had the same problem in linux then I found out that Iwas running one of
the services qmail needed _after_ starting qmail (right now I can't remember
wich one though :/). Making sure that qmail was called at the end of the
script (check the daemons called in other scripts also) and modifying the
script accordingly solved the problem. if You're using tcpserver make sure
that it's called after qmail is started.
hope this helps a little bit...

Hi all,
I encounter the follow
problem. Can anyone drop hints for me.
My configuration:
Red Hat : 6.0+CLE v0.8
qmail:1.03
fetchmail: 5.0
I setup dialup on demand for crond to retrieve mail from ISP
through fetchmail. Every thing is work properly. However, if i retrivev a mail
which the size
is greater(1M). The fetchmail will come up with socket error
Query Status=2
By fetchmail FAQ, I have set
the following in my ppp options file
mtu 552
mru 552
but the error still occur. Can anyone know why?

Hi,
I've (finally) started using qmailanalog, but when i try to pass a specific maillog
through matchup i get the following error :
matchup: fatal: unable to write to fd 5: file descriptor not open
I'm using a script to pass maillog & maillog.1 thu 7 to matchup.
2 of the logs generate this error :-(
I've attached the script, just in case.
I know it's not great programming, it's more 'brute force', but i'm a newbie to unix
and haven't gotten the hang of scripting yet :-(
Thanks,
Steffan

Did you read the man page for matchup?
matchup exits after it sees end of file. It prints pend-
ing messages and deliveries on descriptor 5, in a format
suitable for input to a future invocation of matchup:
<log.1 matchup >out.1 5>pending.2
cat pending.2 log.2 | matchup >out.2 5>pending.3
cat pending.3 log.3 | matchup >out.3 5>pending.4
It's only an error if there are messages pending. You'll probably want to
change your script to reflect this or you won't have accurate reports.

It is disabled by default. The "delivery" you are seeing is (basically)
merely a formality. Look at the file /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-msglog; if it
only has comments, then messages bound for msglog@wherever are going right
into the bit bucket. The original recipient still gets it, though.

You're missing the kernel headers, most likely. You'll need to get
them from somewhere before you can proceed. There's an rpm, I think.
On my Yellow Dog Linux machine (a RedHat clone for PPC),
/usr/include/asm is a symlink into the kernel sources.

I think vpopmail put user's dot qmail file at vitural domain directory.
for example, user1 of virtual.net, .qmail-virtual.net-user1 is existing
under /home/vpopmail/domains/virtual.net/.
So It cann't recognize file under
/home/vpopmail/domains/virtual.net/user1/rcptfilter,

Does anybody know of a good antivirus package I can put on my RedHat 6.1,
Qmail 1.03 server that may possibly be able to scan incoming messages for
viruses? If not I guess I will have to trust my users to not download and
execute any questionable attachments and actually trust them to scan there
own PCs for viruses every so often.
Thanks,
Steve Peace

I am trying to setup vpopmail with mysql support.
I have followed the instructions in README.mysql
I can add an user through qmailadmin but the user info
is getting written into vpasswd file and not into mysql table.
I get vsql_getw error - failed connect message when i try
to add an user from the command prompt and the same message
when i send an email to the new user. (it bounces back)
I also get no table vpopmail.vpopmail error.
there is no table in vpopmail database, eventhough i get
converting done message when i convert using vconvert.
What is the problem here ?
Why vpopmail is not creating the necessary table ?
If i can make vpopmail to create a table then the problem
is solved.
Should i configure qmail also to use mysql ?
Any help is appreciated
regards
babu

Russ and I expect to get back to work on it this summer. I have one book

Ok, it took 34 hours, since I had to find out about repository copies.
It should work now.

I am a qmail newbie.
I have qmail installed and working in our dmz behind one Cisco pix.
Our network design requires that I forward all the mail currently coming
into my dmz back to our inside secure network to host email02 behind another
pix. I have tried to set this up and am my mail appears to be going in a
loop.
My intention was for email01 in the dmz to receive all mail and send it back
to email02 for storage. the MX record on the internet points to email01.
There is no record on the internet for email02.
I was trying to do this with smtproutes. So email01 has mydomain.com in its
rcpthosts but nots its locals and an smtproute file with
mydomain.com:[ip_of_email02]. Then email02 had just one line in its
smtproute file of
:[ip_of_email01].
I Tried putting mydomain.com back in the locals on email01 and using a
.qmail-default file to forward everything back to the IP address of email02.
[email01]# more .qmail-default
| forward "$LOCAL@[10.2.10.6]"
I didn't get mail in either of the above cases. My first question is
conceptual. Am I going about this in the correct manner or is there a better
way?
I will need to have email02 forward outbound mail because I don't have
internet DNS resolution in my secure network.
What do you think the best configuration is given that I will probably not
be able to get DNS resolution back to my secure network and I will only have
my email01 host in the DMZ advertizing as an DNS MX record on the internet.
My disk storage for email messages is all in the secure network so I need to
store the messages back there.
Thanks for any help on this.

I had to do something similar at my office. Using your example, I configured email01
to forward all mail to it's smarthost:
email02. i did this by using the smarthost file in the controls/ dir on email01.
both machines were led to believe they were both hostX (locals, me, rcpthosts).
however, only email02 would have the
maildrops.
hope this helps.
Nope, nothing sinister, just no real FROM header,
so qmail inserts it's own.
Setting your ENV variables from within your script
(before you call your mailer) will take care of it nicely.
