Windows users should take a look at FTP Netdrive, should be available
somewhere at TUCOWS which gives them the ability to mount a FTP
account as normal drive.

Hello,
My qmail installation is working as it should but only as long I don't
do any reboots or shutdowns: during the following bootup, svscan
complains that it couldn't create lockfiles and such stuff in
/var/qmail/supervise/ and it's descendants. If I manually remove the
lock, status and ok files there it again works as nothing did happen.
So what is going wrong on that FreeBSD 4 box?
Best regards,
Gabriel

Hi all,
Could the maintainer for www.qmail.org re-point the link for my web page
to http://bwightman.i.am/?
Thanks,
Brian

I finally sorted out and fixed my X-Spam-Warning header patch. It adds
warning headers for ORBS, RSS, RBL and DUL without the use of any
external programs. It's against a Debianized 1.02 source tree, but is
fairly trivial so I imagine it'll easily apply to 1.03.
Linked off http://www.earth.li/~noodles/programming.html if anyone's
interested.

Qmail
VPOP
SQWeb
ucspi-tcp
is working.
Can send mail from my domain, but cannot
receive.
Did a telnet localhost 25
failed
tcp.smtp (in /etc) is such:
ech "127.0.0.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=\"\"" >
/etc/tcp.smtp
echo "another IP"
"
"
"
" "
echo
"domainname"
"
"
" "
qmail-smtpd running gives me
220 domainname.com ESMTP
sendmail hashed out in /etc/services (port
25)
System is RedHat 6.1
What am I overlooking or doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.

I was thinking: pidentd encrypts the normal tap information before sending it to the
requesting device. this is largely to
prevent forgeries (your machine hacked my box, etc, etc, etc)
and if you haven't gotten some little boy to cry wolf to you; chances are you're just
lucky.
but unfortunatly, when I tell other admins (even the ones who have had legitimate
problems) to to a ident/tap scan, i get way
too mixed of results.
so i got to thinking: when the message is accepted for delivery, supply a header in
the form of:
X-HostID-Inet-XXXXXXXX: [key]
where XXXXXXXX is the hex form of the local machines' ip address. for IPV6 and other
transports, something similar can
probably be used. This cooky looking header would be necessary to avoid confusing
other MTA/MUA's...
the key would be some encrypted goodies (such as)
local user (if it came from qmail-inject or qmail-queue)
remote ip address (if it was relayed -- appropriately or not)
supplied username (from pre-pop'd authentication, or my smtp auth patches:
www.nimh.org/code.shtml)
date and time
now, only the machine who IS host ID XXXXXXXX would be able to decipher the key, and
thus know whether or not the
angry admin has had a legitimate spam concern (and we should disable the account), or
whether they're full of shit.
Of course, these extremes haven't been quite necessary for me yet (otherwise I would
have implimented it a while ago), as
the absolute worst complaint I got was from someone who sent me a message with
Sendmail 8.6's Received: headers.
Is this important to anyone? Anyone have suggestions? Thoughts?
Or have I had too much to drink?

I need to execute qmail-newu via a Perl script web interface. When I try, I
get this error:
qmail-newu: fatal: unable to open users/cdb.tmp
I have played with the permissions on qmail-newu, and tried adding user
nobody (the user Apache is running as) to the qmail group, but I can't get
it figured out.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks,

Your script needs write access to the users directory in order to create
users/cdb.tmp. Your users directory permissions probably look like this:
drwxr-xr-x 2 root qmail 512 Mar 23 08:44 users
which won't allow your script, running as nobody, to create the cdb.tmp file.

Hello,
I am trying to find out if I can use qmail for a somewhat unique
configuration. Here is what I want to do:
-Accept mail destined for any user at any domain (obviously those domains
will be MX'd to my server)
-Reply to that user with a message that I define (the same message for all
users)
I thought you might be able to do this by forcing qmail to see all domains
as local, then funnel all mail to one account, then use a tool like procmail
to auto-reply. I also thought you might be able to customize error messages,
and just error out every message that comes in and reply with the custom
defined error message. I have thousands of domains that I need to do this
for, so I can't easily make a local domains list.
Any configuration help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
nat
Hi,
I just installed qmail for the first time and I am having problems
finalizing the installation.
I checked the FAQs and they helped me solve some of the issues, but there
is still one that is bugging me and I bet you it's a stupid one...
I am trying to use Maildir for mail delivery.
I created one test user with the /Maildir/ architecture and he receives
mail allright. if I do a "ls -FR" I see the following:
[jcrespo@mail jcrespo]$ ls -FR Maildir/
Maildir/:
cur/ new/ tmp/
Maildir/cur:
Maildir/new:
957123822.1010.mail.stgo.cl 957124467.1133.mail.stgo.cl
Maildir/tmp:
so the mails do arrive... But I can't seem to pick them up!!
Both pine and "mail" work with a single file.. as does POP3
So when ever i check the mailbox remotely via port 110 it tells me that
the mailbox is empty.
The MAIL env. variable is MAIL=/home/jcrespo/Maildir
I thought I had it configured at one point.. before I killed sendmail for
good, that Maildir was actually a file, not a directory.
Also.. Since I have to execute makemaildir for each new user.. is there a
way that I can "tie" that command with uesradd? i am using redhat 6.1.
Thanks,
marcelo
I'm trying to set up a default forwarding address for virtual domains. In
other words, if mail is sent to an address that doesn't specifically exist,
forward it to specified address. I know that the plus (+) sign is wildcard,
and that the actual forwarding can be done in the .qmail file in the
specified Maildir, but I can't quite seem to fully understand how to do what
I want in users/assign.
Another way to say what I want to do is "if specified user does not exist,
then forward mail to specified address".
Or, if an incoming message is sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] First look for user
"joe". If joe does not exist, forward to catchall address.
Or, "*@mydomain.com forwards to [EMAIL PROTECTED]".
I read up on the /alias functions, but it appeared that they are not for use
with virtual domains.
Here's a few guesses for what I should put into the users/assign file for
"mydomain.com"
+mydomain-com-*:popuser:500:250:/path-to-maildir:::
+mydomain-com-:popuser:500:250:/path-to-maildir:::
+mydomain-com:popuser:500:250:/path-to-maildir:::
Thanks in advance,
