Hi All,

HI Mark
i guess you have in your .qmail-help following line ( or something similar )
|autorespond 10000 5 message autoresponddirectory
&[EMAIL PROTECTED]
you have to creat a dir which is called autoresponddirectory ( be carefull with the
right group and owner )
and then it should work

If I send a message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I get the following error in the logs of test.mail.com:

In this specific case, your statement appears to be true, but in a
different case, you may have an improvement.
You can make your NFS "server" a distributed cluster of machines, and
take a single point of failure out of the picture (assuming that your
have multiple network paths, etc, etc). See the EMC Celera (sp) as an
example.

If your Maildir becomes undeliverable for some reason, you risk
alienating/mailbombing your users. If the Maildir delivery fails,
both delivery instructions will be retried. I would suggest something
like this (although more complicated)...
.qmail-info
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
&info-autoresp
&info-maildir
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
.qmail-info-autoresp
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
|autoresp-info
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
.qmail-info-maildir
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
./Maildir/
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
You could also put some direct-send armor in the .qmail-info-* files
to ensure that a Delivered-To: info@..... was the first delivery line
in the mail to avoid direct mail to them.
I have used this in a past life - YMMV

The full incoming message is available on stdin. See the qmail-command

You can't do this without creating a new mail message and resending it to
the common POP account address. You also shouldn't need to; I presume
that the purpose is to support filtering, which you can just as easily do
based on the To and Cc headers (or even the Delivered-To header).

Hi,
Not directly related to do with qmail, but...
I have IMAP-4.5 (Mark Crispins c-client) running on an open BSD
machine with Maildir extensions written by Mathias Larrson.
On a large attachment I am getting (~33MB):
ipop3d[6948]: IMAP toolkit crash: Out of free storage
This happens on both IMAP and POP protocols.
Both seem to be trying to load the whole attachment into memory
before sending it. I have fixed the problem on the pop side by
using another pop daemon that seems to send little chunks at a time
(as opposed to loading the whole message with attachment into
memory before sending it).
Does anyone know how to stop the IMAP and POP daemons from
loading the whole message into memory before sending it to the
client?
Thanks
Geoff
Hi all. Two completely unrelated questions:
1) Let's suppose that I decide to centralize virtual domains
redirection in users/assign, by adding in virtualdomains entries like
these:
domain1.com:domain1-com
blah.org:blah-org
And entries like these in users/assign:
domain1-com-luser1:luser1:2020:200:/home/luser1:::
blah-org-superluser:1036:200:/home/superluser:::
Okay. Now let's suppose that I have an address in the blah.org domain
that doesn't correspond to any local user; instead, mail to that address
should be directly forwarded to another host. How do I do that? I had
thought of adding in qmail/alias a file a .qmail-blah-org-(username)
file, but I don't know if that's the right way, nor I really like it too
much, frankly (I'd prefer to have all the information about users in
virtual domains available in one place, instead of scattered between
qmail/users and qmail/alias). So... is there any other way?
2) Taylor UUCP (to be exact, the one that comes with Red Hat Linux 6.x)
and qmail. Is there a step-to-step guide, a sort of HOWTO, for it? I
have qmail working succesfully with HDB UUCP for a number of sites, but
some months ago, when I had to make it work with Red Hat-Taylor UUCP, I
ran into endless problems and ended up doing a quick serialmail-AutoTURN
hack (I can't remember exactly what went wrong, though I think it had to
do with the rmail of the client's server not being able to rewrite
correctly the From: address (no, we don't use bang addresses, just
regular Internet ones)).

You can do this:
# echo '&[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > ~alias/.qmail-blah-org-username
or use Dan's fastforward package to centralize all the addresses in one cdb
file. (The principle remains the same though: everything gets delivered through
an ~alias/.qmail-blah-org-default or an ~alias/.qmail-default file.)

I have a system which sends all mail out via GNU/Taylor UUCP on Red
Hat (I have to continue using UUCP for sentimental reasons). I put
this in /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains:
:alias-uucp
and I put this in /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-uucp-default:
|preline -d /usr/bin/uux - -a"${SENDER:-MAILER-DAEMON}" comton!rmail "($DEFAULT@$HOST)"
comton is the UUCP name of the host to which that system connects.
I'm running qmail and GNU/Taylor UUCP on both ends.

Courier-imap works great for me and is the only imap daemon to work with any
reliability.
I highly doubt that the imap package that comes with Mandrake works with
/Maildir/ probably just works with /var/spool/mail/$USER

I have installed souce of imap : courier-imap-0.32 from inter7.com but it
doesn't work good
Then I installed the imap-4.7 package from the Mandrake 7.02
(I also tryed the imap package (version:4.5-3mdir4)
I prefer use package than source.
I create Maildir with the command : maildirmake /home/USER/Maildir/
(with the good permission)
for the client.
When I configure a client (Outlook Express, Netscape 4.7), the
synchronisation is OK between server and client. I can send messages ...
But: my problems are:
I have nothing in the recept-box (or Inbox?) of the client.
Or : where do the messages go on the server?
(Do I use the good package, source ??)
this is my /etc/inetd.conf: imap steam tcp nowait
root /usr/sbin/tcpd imapd
this is my /etc/services: imap2 143/tcp imap
imap2 143/udp imap
Note: I have used the UCSPI source for the tcpserver before with pop3. And
all was OK . Do I delete an old program ??

There is a patch for qmail that should be available from the ezmlm page
that allows customization of headers to be done efficiently. This could
probably be modified without a whole lot of trouble to do what you
want.
As for the goal of the project, fake personaliztion is going to get old
fast. This makes me think of the headhunters and telemarketers that ask
me how things are going before giving their pitch. It just wastes even
more of my time and they obviously don't really care about how may day
has been going.
Qmail list,
I'm using qmail in conjuction with serialmail and invokes
maildirsmtp through the ppp-script.
Everything works great mostly but sometimes... Well here's the
main structure of the script
if queue && PPP
modify headers
echo 'flushing queue' | splogger maildirsmtp
maildirsmtp ~alias/pppdir alias-ppp- $ISP $hostname 2>&1 | \
splogger maildirsmtp
echo 'queue flushed' | splogger maildirsmtp
fi
Once in a while the queue remains and the logs reads:
May 16 16:27:05 seven maildirsmtp: 958487225.187118 flushing queue
May 16 16:27:05 seven maildirsmtp: 958487225.879180 queue flushed
Problems while executing maildirsmtp shows in the log but there
is nothing to trace at this occasions - any ideas?

[snip]
maildirsmtp is part of the serialmail package (by Dan Bernstein)
and it sends a maildir through SMTP.
All outgoing mail on my machine goes directly to a local maildir
(using a virtual domain). I'm flushing that maildir when PPP goes
up with maildirsmtp and the mail sends through my ISP.
Look at the serialmail homepage for more info.
One alternative is to keep outgoing mail in the ordinary queue
and signal qmail-send ALRM when PPP goes up.

I have a farm of qmail servers sitting behind a load balancer. I'm
having a problem with being a secondary MX for a domain, because the
individual qmail servers in the farm don't realize that the IP address
of the load balancer actually points to them. They keep trying to
re-deliver to the load balancer's address, which connects them back to
a different mail server within the farm, which does the same thing,
until the message bounces because of too many hops.
Is there a patch that will let me add addresses to the ipme structure
that qmail uses to determine whether the MX record for a host is
actually itself?
Reading back over that, it's a little confusing. Here's an example.
I have 25 qmail servers, 10.0.0.1 through 10.0.0.25. The load
balancer, which will semi-randomly select one of the actual servers to
pass the connection on to, has an address of 1.2.3.4. Domains for
which we are a secondary MX have a less preferred MX record that
points to 1.2.3.4.
When a message comes in to be queued, it comes in to 1.2.3.4, which is
redirected to (for example) 10.0.0.5. The domain is in its rcpthosts,
but not its locals, so 10.0.0.5 tries to forward it on to the next
best-preference MX. It tries to connect to the primary MX, fails, and
then tries to connect to the secondary, 1.2.3.4. It doesn't realize
that it is already handling mail for 1.2.3.4, so it opens up another
connection to 1.2.3.4, which redirects it to (for example) 10.0.0.16.
This process repeats until the message bounces.
I'm looking at patching ipme.c and giving it a config file, but it
seems to me that somebody must have already done this.
Can anybody point me in the right direction? I'm using
qmail-1.0.3+ldap.
Thanks,
------ScottG.
Hi,
I'm a qmail server with vpopmail, qmailadmin and sqwebmail.
If I use sqwebmail for read the messages in the server, this work ok.
But, if I use one pop3 client (outlook), I can't log in the server.
The server send the next error:
'Warning: Cannot open backend config file.'
This error also apears if I create one virtual domain with vadddomain.
Help me please, I don't know the solution for this problem.
Thanks
PD: Sorry for my poor english.

For a quick and dirty hack, you could make .qmail-user files that
forwarded to the appropo server on a per user basis, or for a more
centralized/easier to manage thing, maybe setup fastforward to use a
sendmail aliases file.
You could also get into some advanced .qmail-default tricks if you
wanted to; something like the following in .qmail-default would probably
do the trick though...
# .qmail-default - WARNING - UNTESTED - MAY NOT WORK AT ALL!!!!
#
| if `egrep -wq $LOCAL -f /path/group1` ; then forward $[EMAIL PROTECTED] ; fi
| if `egrep -wq $LOCAL -f /path/group2` ; then forward $[EMAIL PROTECTED] ; fi
#
# Repeat for each group, and then put usernames in appropo group on SMTP
# server.
Not sure about the above .qmail trick, it's not somehing I've ever
done anything similar to in practice, and I'm not positive the |'d input
will work in the midst of a if/fi statement but in theory it seems logical
to me. :) Cheers!

Hi there.
Our mail server's been listed in ORBs because of a multiple @ related hole.
Is this common for a Qmail system or is something odd about our setup?
Here's the header from ORBS, with enough changed so that any spammers watching
won't get ideas. :)

There must be something odd. What does

Please don't do that. You can trust the people here, and giving real info

Hmmm, could you give us some details of your configuration then?
And please tell us real hostnames (post real headers, for example), so we
can see for ourselves.

It's Qmail 1.03, fast forward 0.51.
It's handling about 60,000 local mailboxes, and doing forwards for about 700
virtual domains.
(this is put into the virtual domain file automatically by a script which
scans a single file with every map on the system.)
# head -5 control/virtualdomains
258wallace.com:valias
4200st-laurent.com:valias
# cat valias/.qmail-default
| /var/qmail/bin/fastforward -d /etc/aliases.cdb
Hope that's enough for now..

This line does it; what it "$DEFAULT" contains
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]"?
Try to do
|forward "$DEFAULT"@`head -1 /var/qmail/control/locals`
(where instead of head, you'd fill the machine name in)

I've been running into password authentication problems with my RH 6.2
implementation. Open-ssh does weird things too... but back to qmail.
I _HAD_ qmail up and running happily yesterday. The famous line "I didn't
change anything and now it doesn't work."
Well obviously I have changed something.
I have been attempting to complete the Life with qmail documentation. With
success yesterday. (Thank you again for your help!)
Here's the info I hope is relevant:
Telnetting into the POP3 server, fails:

What if Mr Blum:
- is writing the Complete Idiots Guide to qMaiL (I at least got
the "q" part correct). SAMs... hmmmm. Say, did not Mr. Levine
write a similar book?
- is Joe Average Guy writing for Sally HowTO GiveMeaFewExamples.
- has obviously started to "do something" that people on this list
have only talked about for over 18 months.
- is planning on cashing in on being the first out of the gate.
If any of the above is true, then these things are by definition
to his credit.

Hi,
just for curiosity, there's another book on the market telling about QMAIL:
"Electronic Mail Systems - A Network Manager's Guide" by Burhan Fatah
published by McGraw Hill 1994 ISBN 0-07-020056-4.
Page 226 reads as:
"QMAIL
QMAIL is an E-mail system for the AS/400 that allows users to transmit
messages
from any AS/400 terminal, or any other computer with 5250 emulation. Besides
standard messaging features, QMAIL has many advanced features like forms, mail
notification, distribution lists, and message archves. ....."
Doesn't it sound like qmail??
Cheers.
eh.

Back up everything (/var/qmail and user's mailboxes) as often as you
want, using whatever tools you prefer. If you have to restore the
queue (/var/qmail/queue)--which is usually not a great idea since your
backup copy is soon outdated--you'll need to run one of the utilities
available from www.qmail.org to rename the files by inode.

Has anyone tried installing the smtp-auth qmail patch after
installing the amavis ant-virus wrapper? I tried and was no longer able to
send or receive mail. I had to re-install the qmail binaries and then
re-install amavis. Any help or knowledge would be
appreciated.

Please provide us some more information. Which AMaViS version (exactly)
do you use? To which (qmail) files does the smtp-auth patch apply? For
AMaViS 0.2.0-pre6-clm-rl-x, you have to rename qmail-local to
qmail-local-real and qmail-remote-real (qmail-local and qmail-real are
symnlinks to our script). Maybe that's the problem, but that's just a
guess ...

I just meant, it is another architecture where you have redunant
data on widely spaced peers.
Later, imagining that Bowman wants to guarantee to the corporal in the
battlefield who has e-mailed his situation in to HQ, that his smtp 250
from the server means the message will get through even if his immediate
mail server gets hit by a missle immediately after sending the code.
To implement this, the server would, before issuing the 250, open
a channel to a peer and copy the message as far away as possible -- or
even attempt immediate delivery -- all BEFORE giving the 250 response.
So, 250 on this smtpd does not merely mean "I have taken responsibility
for transferring this message" but "I have transferred the message off site
already"
destination MUAs would need to discard based on redundant message IDs,
et cetera
I'll stop now...
Hello All,

Anybody knows what going on?

200.246.122.250 is closing the SMTP connection to your qmail before
acknowledging the receipt of the message. Under these conditions,
qmail has to assume that the message didn't go through. This is a
violation of SMTP. Which MTA is 200.246.122.250 running?

After a few tries, it reports No route to host.
The box in question is also the secondary MX for node1.com.br.

i already reviewed the pattern matching implementation in
daemontools/match.c. it seems ok. if my multilog invocation line, the
"script" as it is called by djb, is correct, it's got to have something to
do with multilog.c. could you help me review and test that?

Well, I've been trying to understand what's up. Read match.c, your
"script" matched any string up to the first space, then it needs to
see a space, 'm', 's', 'g', space and whatever.
If I understand correctly what multilog.c does, it runs the script on
a timestamped line; therefore a line like
@800000523452363.34123 msg something anything
would get filtered out (if such a line appeared), but
@800000053264564.43567 new msg 81221
does not; '-* * msg *' matches such a line.
Can someone confirm that? Thanks

Hi,
Does anyone know how to change the address mark in
qmail? Sendmail uses "+" for the address marker, I have a filtering software
depends on that, I wonder if there is a way I can change the address
marker for Qmail to "+". Actually, I don't even know if Qmail support address

Hi,
I am having endless problems trying to set up a mailing list with a
virtual domain. I created the list with the following command:
/usr/local/bin/ezmlm/ezmlm-make -adfgiklmnpqrstuw -5
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /var/qmail/alias/test
/var/qmail/alias/.qmail-test alias-test domainname.com
Then in /var/qmail/control/rcphosts I added:
domainname.com
next in /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains I put:
domainname.com:test
Unfortunately when I try to post to [EMAIL PROTECTED],
[EMAIL PROTECTED] or even [EMAIL PROTECTED] all
I get is the below Ezmlm response. All I really want to do is be able to
send to the list via [EMAIL PROTECTED] Any pointers would be
grateful appreciated.
Hi! This is the ezmlm program. I'm managing the

The next release of qmailadmin has more support for ezmlm-idx
thanks to the guys at wizoffice in singapore. It will be released
(hopefully) in the next week or so.
If you want to try it out now download from:
http://www.inter7.com/qmailadmin/qmailadmin-0.26h-WizOffice-FROZEN-12-MAY-2000.tgz
They sent me a few patches for regex searching of pop accounts.
Which isn't in this tar ball.

Today, I bound another IP address to our ethernet card. Eth0 is
209.90.117.130, eth0:1 is 209.90.117.144, and now, eth0:2 is 209.90.117.140
.
The first two IP's were running jim-dandy for some time, now that I've
added the third address, outgoing mail is sent from 209.90.117.140, not
.130, as it should be.
qmail-smtpd is being started as follows:
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -u 80 -g 80 -c100 0 smt
p /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1 | /var/qmail/bin/splogger smtpd 3 &
Am I correct in assuming that it should be started like this:
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -u 80 -g 80 -c100
209.90.117.130 0

This has nothing to do with qmail-smtpd (or any other part of qmail for that
matter). Check your routing table.

To generalise the previous question a little, is there a simple way of
getting qmail-rspawn/qmail-remote to bind to a particular local
interface for sending outgoing mail? I would like to have a particular
virtual interface used for SMTP alone. Getting tcpserver to listen on
that interface is a doddle, but confining outgoing SMTP traffic (and
leaving other services unaffected, hence not using routing) to using
that interface seems non-trivial.

Hi,
Does anyone know if there is a webmail
package that uses smtp instead of reading/writing from/to Maildir or mailbox?
Thanks in advance.

smtp ? I'm afraid it could only be used to _send_ mails.
To read them, you have to choose between direct disk access (like omail),
pop3 (like cwmail) or imap (like imp).

Ok, let me rephrase my question. Thanks Olivier....
Does anyone know if there is a webmail package that uses smtp to send mail,
and imap/disk access for reading mail? Thanks in advance.

Is there any way I can setup q-mail with separate block lists for each email
address? For example, I might want to block [EMAIL PROTECTED] from sending mail
to one user but not block it from the entire machine. Does anyone know how
to do this?

procmail, or some dot-qmail voodoo.
man procmail
man dot-qmail

Hello,
I'm trying to make a simple email-pager gateway for my work, where you email
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and it uses the .qmail-default file to dial the TAP
number and delivers the page using SNPP. Does anyone here have experience
in getting this to work, hopefully using qpage (just because its the paging
program I know), but any other sort of configuration would be stupendous.
Basically what I tried doing is making my .qmail-default file as
| /usr/local/bin/qpage -l 0 -m -p $LOCAL
but when I send it an email, it gets stuck in the local queue instead of
going to the paging program (yes, the daemon for that is running), and
/var/log/maillog just says:
May 16 17:05:51 level3 qmail: 958521951.615228 new msg 58324

If anyone had ideas or experience with this I'd really appreciate it.

Hi People,
Having some huge problems with qmail delaying sending
[root@ren RPMS6.2]# /var/qmail/bin/qmail-qstat
messages in queue: 2313
messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 0
Mail is being delivered (eventually) but there are 3.5 - 4 hour delays
any suggestions??
just tried
'killall -ALRM qmail-send'
to force a de-queue. Load average went through the roof! (>10)
I had to kill the syslog and remove mail logging to get it back
to reasonable levels. ( and it has not reduced the queue length)

/var/qmail/queue/lock/trigger should have the perms and ownerships:
prw--w--w- 1 qmails qmail 0 May 17 02:33 trigger
Dave Sill's "Living with Qmail" has more info about that sort of problem.

It's also possible that there are a large number of mails queued for
one remote site that is broken.
# qmail-qread | grep remote | grep -v done | sort | uniq -c | sort -n | tail
will sort them into a ascending order of messages queued for each
email address (which will take a few minutes possibly for 2-3000
messages) and show the top 10.
what reasons, if any are being shown in your logs for failures?
I use something like:
% tail -f /var/log/syslog | grep '[^g] delivery [0-9][0-9]*: '
to watch successes and deferrals.
James.
Thanks to those who replied.

was what it was, we had the concurrencyremote set to 50, I increased this
to 200, (there seems to be a coded limit of 120?) and it got around the
problem.

This is what qpopper does, except that it logs summary statistics after
the connection terminates. This would be a nice feature to have, as it's
quite useful to get a good feel for how much mail each particular user is
downloading via POP.

For most purposes, I doubt you need to worry about all those details.

I am relatively new to this, but how do you get the encrypted password
into the assign files? I am trying to setup the pop3 users and I need to
create the assigns file. Do you use the unix's crypt command and then
cut and paste this into the file? What key do you use to encrypt the
password using the crypt command? Do you use the root user's password as
the key?
thanks
