Hi
I have a newbie question regarding setting up qmail. The INSTALL.ctl file,
tells me...
You MUST tell qmail your hostname. Just run the config-fast script:
# ./config-fast your.full.host.name
I plan to use qmail in a mail-server, using a dial-up ISP account and
feeding Windows PCs with their mail. This Linux box, does not have an
address that would be known by a DNS. Therefore, I am not sure what the
'full.host.name' is in my situation. Does it mean 'localhost.localdomain'
or does it mean '10.0.0.1' (the IP address I've assigned to it)?
Thanks for any help you can give me.

It may be less confusing in this case to skip config-fast and set up
the control files yourself (which is all config-fast does). Check out
the qmail-control man page to see where to find info about each file.
The ones config-fast sets up are control/{locals,rcpthosts} (affecting
all incoming mail), control/{defaultdomain,plusdomain} (affecting
locally incoming mail), and control/meme (used as a default for
several other files). The first four should be fairly
straightforward; I'm not sure what would be best for you to put in
control/me. You might just create all the other control files - that
way, control/me will never be consulted, and you'll make sure each
file contains something appropriate for its particular purpose.

Greetings,
DNS seems to stump more people than anything else, yet it's
quite simple....
First, forget cnames. They'll just get you in trouble. Think in terms of
machine name and mail exchanger (MX) records.
What's the name of the machine your mta is on. No matter what the original name
of that machine, you can declare it as mail.domain and assign it any address you
want (assuming the address belongs to you). If you are the authoritative DNS
host for andigilog.com, you can put records for andigilog.com in the zone file
and they'll be valid.
(If you don't like mail, use any name you like)
Along with declaring the address record for mail, you can use the MX record to
point to the location of the mta. Of course, the MX record pointing to a
specific domain can be used in any DNS zone file, not so for the A record.
IF you try to claim authority for a DNS zone and someone else really is, you
have created a "lame delegation"
If you are trying to receive mail for andigilog.com and there is no MX record
in the AUTHORATATIVE DNS zone file pointing to you, forget it. You will have
trouble receiving any mail for andigilog.com, if at all.
Sorry if it seems like I'm ranting.... I do a lot of DNS and I see so much wrong
information and nonunderstaning that it drives me up a tree.
If you have a DNS question, direct it to me personally. I'll give you the best
answer I'm capable of.
Regards,
Eric

I finally figured it out. Let this stand as a record for deja / qmail
surfers everywhere!!
1. Can your computer do a nslookup of a FQDN and not yours?
That needs to be working.
2. Can you ping a FQDN and an IP
Thats where I screwed up! I could easily nslookup anyone but my
machine had an
incorrect entry in /etc/resolve.conf
It need to say somewhere in there
nameserver 127.0.0.1
That's what the problem was for me!!
Thanks to everyone!

I have salesmen that connect to my server via dialup. They are using
MS Outlook 97. Yes, I know its not very good, but does what we need it
to do.
I have their accounts setup to not delete their email from the server.
Now all of a sudden, they are downloading all of their e-mail, as if
this was the first time they ever accessed their accounts from their
boxes. I can't find anything fishy in log files other than their
messages listed as New. Anyone have any ideas as to what might be
happening?
Thanks for your help and suggestions.

Insufficient data. What server are they accessing to retrieve their
mail? qmail-pop3d? Some other POP3 daemon? An IMAP daemon?
-Dave
had one customer with a smiliar thing.. no matter what mail servers were
using, it seems to be a Outlook related problem. As far we could see this
behaviour only causes if someone tries not to delete the mails after
reading them through Outlook. So sometimes Outlook gets only the new one..
or even all again in one bunch. This never happened with other mail
clients.

In the internet setting within outlook, i have it set to leave messages on
the server.

They are accessising via the pop3 server that is installed from the imap
rpm with the distro.
The server has been up now for 8 months w/ not apparent errors. ~ 100
users access this box. It is far from overloaded.

Overloading does not have a bearing on the functionality... But to
return to your question, only the client decides whether to re-read
or delete messages. In the case of Outlook I suspect that it has
lost track of the UIDL information that clients use to track which
messages they have already retrieved. The UIDL that qmail-pop3d
supplies is based on the filename of each mail. So unless that is
changing each time, then it's entirely an issue with the client.
I believe that the usual procedure for fixing that platform/client
combination is:
1. Reinstall Outlook
2. Reinstall Windows
3. Reinstall hardware
4. Repeat as necessary
Regards.
Well, we found it very helpful, although, yes, there were some pretty
confusing points. We never used any vpopwhatever stuff; just his HOWTO,
and it's working fine.
I could probably help you with some hurdles, but you'll have to be more
specific about what confuses you or what problem you're having?

[EMAIL PROTECTED] - your mail is bouncing back to me.
I did a nslookup on your DNS host and there are problems.
I'll help with your DNS, but do you have a working email

Hello everyone,
I have a server running Linux RH6.2 with qmail,vpopmail, qmailadmin. I'm using qmail-pop3d and Maildir as delivery method. Everything was working fine until yesterday a guy on my company updated the kernel of that machine and fixed a small problem with a firewall, opening port 113.
From then, everytime the pop3 server server starts I got a "hard error" message before the usual message. Besides the authentification stopped working... now I got "-ERR This user has no $HOME/Maildir" when I try to read the mail via pop3. The smtp server and the webmail works ok. I recompile qmail but nothing changed.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks in advance,

if a have a large list say 325000+ address to add or delete to a mailing
list and have them in a text file. one address per line. can ezmlm-unsub
or sub be made to patch them all at once. Right now I am doing a for loop
and calling ezmlm-sub or ezmlm-unsub for each line. Right now with the
amount of addresses it is taking roughly 4 hours to complete. Is there a
way to speed this up?
Thanks

ezmlm-sub accepts multiple addresses on the command line. Do:
$ ezmlm-sub list-dir `cat subscribers-file`
Likewise for ezmlm-unsub. This assumes there is no whitespace in the
addresses - if there is any, you'll have to use somthing more
sophisticated than `cat`.

According to the man pages, ezmlm-unsub/sub can take multiple email
addresses. Notice the three dots (ellipsis?).
You might want to use xargs to split up the arguments into chunks.

It works for small subscribers-file, otherwise it's a bad idea. See:

Hello everyone. I am planning on switching one
of my systems from sendmail to qmail. I have
many perl scripts that use sendmail and invoke
it this way:
/usr/lib/sendmail -t
Can anyone give me a heads up on the equivalent
way to do this with qmail?
Thanks in advance.
Jeff Jones
QMail has a replacement for sendmail. Just softlink /usr/lib/sendmail to
/var/qmail/bin/sendmail

Hey, I seem to have a functioning GNU/Mailman :: Qmail server running.
I am very interested in getting tcpserver well tuned to create various data
servers in scripting languages esp perl but others as well (lisp ?? :)
I also have two different mail/cgi servers up and I am looking to offer a whole
slew of services, scheduler, personal data-mine, whatever else is out there in
the public domain.

sh-compatible shells let you set environment variables for just a
single command by putting the assignments in front of the command.
Brian's using the same command as you, but using a different way of
setting the environment variable. Hmm... have you tried setting all
three variables?

Ah, okay. Sorry, I'm not very coherent with shells :-(
However, I've tried this in another way (export
TCPREMOTEIP=203.34.190.170), in a previous post.

I have now:
# export TCPREMOTEIP=203.34.190.170
# echo $TCPREMOTEIP
203.34.190.170
# export TCPREMOTEHOST=fornax.net
# echo $TCPREMOTEHOST
fornax.net
# export TCPREMOTEINFO=list
# echo $TCPREMOTEINFO
list
# /usr/local/bin/tcprulescheck /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb
default:
allow connection
Did I get that right? I'm hope that's what $TCPREMOTEHOST and
$TCPREMOTEINFO should be.

You appear to be running things correctly, but I can't say if that's
the right result. Does /etc/tcp.smtp say that 203.34.190.170 should
be allowed to connect? Does /etc/tcp.smtp contain any rules at all?
Have you recreated /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb since you added rules to
/etc/tcp.smtp? If the answers are all yes, you should be in good
shape.

Oh, *expletive*!
I had a typo in /etc/tcp.smtp. How did I miss that?
My sincerest apologies for wasting everyone's time, and thanks for your

They serve different purposes. and it's not an either/or proposition.
IMAP allows you to keep and manipulate the mail on the server, while
POP will always drag a copy to the client machine (although it might
also be set to "leave mail on server".). Which you want depends on
circumstances. Reading mail using IMAP (like I'm doing right now) can
be a little slow over a slow link if you have it set up to not bring
the entire text of the message over until you need it. But with
IMAP, you can control the same mail store from wherever you are.
IMAP is more flexible, and that's why I'm using it, but I still have
POP around for my Newton and my old Powerbook, for which IMAP clients
aren't available (or are technically available but don't work).

I have been configuring qmail on a number of servers.
Some hours after the initial bringup of the server, qmail-send exits
mysteriously, printing nothing to the log, but is no longer running.
Fortunately I have a monitoring script which sends e-mail through the boxes
to check whether they're up. It notices this and sends me an alert. I
restart the daemon, and I don't seem to have the problem again. (at least
not in the weeks since they were brought up)
This has happened on all four of the servers in virtually the exact same
way...
Mysterious, indeed...

Hello...
i have a RH6.2
system running with qmail...
this is what i want
to do:
i want to be able
do define users for the mail system without defining them for the RH system
itself, meaning no entries in the /etc/passwd file..
i understood that
there is a way to run qmail "chrooted" with another root dir.. is this
recomended??
also, i dont want
to have a directory for each mail user, just some files , or even one file...
that gets cleaned up upon retrieval of messages. is this recomended and if so,
how do i make it happen ? (:-))
another thing: i
want to be able to connect to this mail system by pop3, but qmail doesnt come
with pop3 module
what is the
recomended pop3 daemon? (i know about qpopper and
cucimail...)
do they work with
the delivery of qmail?? and if so, how do i configure them?
thanks a lot in
advance....
--------------------------------------------
Haim Halpern

For adding users with only one entry in etc/passwds and with a web interface
for administration, go to www.inter7.com and check for vpopmail and
qmailadmin.
You can use qmail-pop3d that IS included in qmail distribution, as far as I
know.

chroot is an option, but I will suggest you to install the RPMS from
http://em.ca/~bruceg/rpms and also vmailmgr from www.vmailmgr.org
esteban.
well...
now im even more confused, here are two new progs for me...
im actually looking for a good source or explanation for installing a pop3
daemon safely and easly like qmail...
what about the qmail-pop3d?
what is it and how do i make it work?

It's a good idea to consult "Life with qmail" before the mailing list;
you'll probably just end up there anyway.

Hi all,
I am running RedHad 6.2 (linux 2.2.16-3) I have installed qmail 1.03.
I must set up mail relay server for domain AAA.COM. So far so good ...
BUT I need to forward some e-mail addresses (let say [EMAIL PROTECTED])
to another machine (BBB.COM). I did the following:
1. I used /var/qmail/control/smtproutes to relay AAA.COM to internal
mail server. But in this case I can not catch [EMAIL PROTECTED]!
2. I defined AAA.COM to be local (/var/qmail/control/locals). This way
I catched [EMAIL PROTECTED] and I am able to forward messages to
anywhere. Problem arised with rest of addresses. I defined in
~alias/.qmail-default following rules:
I. | forward "$[EMAIL PROTECTED]" but BBB.COM does not accept this address
(there is $[EMAIL PROTECTED] define on BBB.COM but not $[EMAIL PROTECTED])
There are a hundred of users on BBB.COM so it is not seems to be
easy to define aliases!
II. | forward "<@MAIL.BBB.COM:$RECIPIENT>" ($RECIPIENT is
full destination address of recipient) but I receive
messages like this:
Hi. This is the qmail-send program at MAIL.AAA.COM.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following
addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.
<<@MAIL.BBB.COM:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>>:
Sorry, I couldn't find any host named AAA.COM>. (#5.1.2)
Does anybody know how can I set explicit route in address (and qmail
to understand it!) or anything else that solves the problem!
Any proposals will be highly appreciated!
SGD
P.S. Excuse my bad English! I am sorry about this!
Hey all
I'm getting ready to press forward, and install vpopmail. Now I know that

If you know you built it, and you still have the build directory, look
at conf-home to see where it would be installed. Look for tcpserver
in `head -1 conf-home`/bin. If you don't have a build directory,
check anywhere you think you might have installed it - /usr/local/bin,
/usr/bin, ....

Hello!
If I try to mail from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to
another domain, like list.cr.yp.to, my qmail
refuses to take the mail with this message :
"domain not found in rcphosts"
I don't understand! pcsystems.de is in the rcphosts.
I can't put every domain in this file I want to mail to!
Help, please!

Nor should you - that would make you an open relay. Look at
<URL:http://web.infoave.net/~dsill/lwq.html#relaying> and
<URL:http://www.palomine.net/qmail/selectiverelay.html>.

Thanks for the hint, Paul.
But in fact, the domain where the mail is coming
from IS in rcphosts!
This is why I wonder!
Nico
Jochen E. Führing writes:

That doesn't matter; rcpthosts is checked against where the mail is
*going*. qmail will receive mail on behalf of whichever domains are
listed there. So it's useless for controlling who you receive mail
*from*.
paul
Jochen E. Führing writes:
> But in fact, the domain where the mail is coming

[EMAIL PROTECTED] connects to your qmail via SMTP
with a mail for [EMAIL PROTECTED]
now qmail checks rcpthosts to find out if whatever.com is a host it
accepts mail for - for delivery. if yes, it delivers them according to
your qmail setup.
if not, it checks if the sender's IP address is a relayclient -
if it is a relayclient, qmail forwards the mail to the Mail eXchanger for
whatever.com
if not, it sends the error "not in my rcpthosts".
if whatever.com is your domain, you need to include it's IP numbers in
your /etc/tcp.smtp as RELAYCLIENT - an example could be:
127.0.0.1:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
192.168.0.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
:allow
that would have to be adjusted to your IP numbers of course ...

Sort of... that's about the same logic function, but the process is
more like this: tcpserver accepts a connection. It checks its rules
file to see whether to allow or deny the connection, and sets any
environment variables listed in the rules file. tcpserver invokes
qmail-smtpd. qmail-smtpd checks the environment for RELAYCLIENT. If
that variable is set, its value is appended to the local part of the
destination address and the message is accepted. Otherwise,
qmail-smtpd checks for the desination domain in rcpthosts: if it's
there, the message is accepted; if it's not, it isn't.

I meant to say I cannot ping the above IP. Thx for the help. I think my

connecting IP.

The IP is passed to qmail by your TCP/IP protocol stack. To the exent
that is reliable, so is qmail.
P.s. If you haven't already contacted the ISP, you should so
it soon - some ISPs don't keep logs very long, and if the log
for that day is gone, so is any hope of identifying the spammer.

Sure, I restarted everything.
But it is not working right now!

Hey all
I just started working with vpopmail and I am in need of answers.
1. The install guide recommends that all domains be set up as virtual
domains. In the qmail/control/locals file I have my domain already
defined. How can I convert that to a virtual domain? Should I?
2. The option enable-default domain = mydomain Does this mean it will be
a virtual domain. The instructions aren't clear on this.
3. The option enable-ucspi-dir I installed this per qmail
instructions. I was not aware that a compiled directory existed. I
thought only tcpserver was placed in ../bin
4. What is Option enable-apop. What is apop?
5. What happens to my existing default .qmail files for postmaster, etc.
6. How can I map several names to one address. With .qmail files it's
easy (I think).
7. What tools are needed for vpopmail to work correctly. I currently have
installed qmail, uscpi, and daemontools. Anything else.
8. Should I install qmailadmin before or after vpopmail.
9. At what point do I enable options .. I am assuming the following
command will work?
make --enable-roaming=y --enable-default-domain=andigilog.com
That's all and thanks a lot.

Hi, after going throught the list archives (and finding many helpful
posts), I was unable to find a close enough match to solve this
problem.
I have a qmail complex behind a localdirector that solves a problem with
an email outsourcer (full detail below).
The box in question (eek.quepasa.com) is a uniproc Pentium II 350, single
IDE drive, 128Megs of ram with a late kernel built for allowing IP
aliasing and serial console:
Linux version 2.2.15 (root@eek) (gcc version egcs-2.91.66
19990314/Linux (egcs-1.1.2 release)) #3 Tue May 30 11:16:40 MST
2000
Qmail 1.3 details:
] big-todo patch applied
] conf-split is set to 83.
] installed to the letter of Lifewith Qmail
] there is a separate partition for /var/qmail, _not_ mounted sync. It is
~5gig, with 2gig free. The file system was created with 1:1 inodes to
blocks, block size 1024 bytes.
Problem, short version:
All inbound mail to .quepasa.com goes to one machine (eek.quepasa.com)
for sorting, and then is delivered somewhere else. We had a scheduled
newsletter go to our users (opt in only) of around 250,000 pieces of
mail. this was two nights ago.
after 2 days qmail-qstat shows:
messages in queue: 153944
messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 38282
When I look at the log I am seeing a fraction of the utilization I expect:
typical: 2000-07-13 10:49:43.032796500 status: local 1/10 remote 2/120
I have checked the trigger file via "make check", it was ok, however I
did run "make setup", for good measure.
I read that there can be problems with file handles in Linux, checking
/proc/sys/fs/file-nr shows:
1785 1434 4096
If I understand the Linux doc correctly, this means I have not run
into a filehandle problem.
I have seen eek's remote delivery go as high as 6/120, this is usually
near startup of qmail. after about 50 sec. it drops down and runs at 0-2,
once in a while spiking to 6 ( < 4% of the time). Local typically runs
from 0-2. a qmail-tcpok, ALRM to qmail-send does not seem to increase the
delivery rate.
At this point i am delivering about 100 mail/min local and l00
mails/min remote.
I know this machine should be able to clear this queue in less than 3
hours.
Virtually all the delivers from eek go to another qmail box connected
at 100M, that box (pair.quepasa.com) shows no load, it's qmail-smtpd
connections corresponds with the remote connections on eek
(i.e. qmail-smptd is at 2-3/400).
I'm hoping for some ideas on other things to check.
=================== background on install =================
quepasa.com Email system:
NOTE: The reference to "foo.fake" below is a literal reference, I use
"foo.fake" for a strictly internal virtualhost/smtproute setup.
Principle problems (background for problem above only):
] we have outsourced our web customer email system, so
[EMAIL PROTECTED] is a customer, and has to be delivered to
criticalpath.net (cp.net).
] we have also propagated [EMAIL PROTECTED] as employees email
addresses, which should be delivered locally.
] when you out-source with cp.net they want you to point your domain MX
record at them:
quepasa.com. IN MX 10 inbound.quepasa.com.criticalpath.net.
I was not willing to do that for several reasons:
] if cp is down, external email does not come through.
] I did not want to have to configure filters and forwards at
cp.net so all employee mail did the right thing.
] as a business continuity measure, I wanted to control the
mail flow. If we needed/wanted to change email providers, I
can make the routing change in one qmail file.
] when delivering to cp.net the mail *MUST* be to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
(cp's restriction not mine). I learned the hard way that:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
will not work.
The solution is obvious, accept mail at a central box
(mailx.quepasa.com) for [EMAIL PROTECTED], if:
a.] the mail user is an employee, send it along to a bastion host
for delivery inside quepasa.com.
b.] if not send it off to [EMAIL PROTECTED] at cp.net. (i.e. SMTP
connect is to inbound.quepasa.com.criticalpath.net,
RCPT To:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>)
The problem comes up at b. the mail has already been delivered to
quepasa.com, if you attempt a forward like.
|forward $[EMAIL PROTECTED]
with a smtproute entry like:
quepasa.com:inbound.quepasa.com.criticalpath.net
The smtproute never seems (???) to be consulted, and it fails as a looping
mail.
I tried fooling around with virtual domains and header rewriting, but
it came down to this, (AFAIK) a qmail machine that receives mail
addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED], will never again deliver it to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
That left me with one solution another instance of qmail. I did not
want to run it on the same machine, different port. I loaded another box.
Brief description of mail flow:
] mail for [EMAIL PROTECTED] comes in to mailx.quepasa.com,
if
jane is an employee, deliver mail according to fastforward based
/etc/aliases rule.
else
forward mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
done
There is a smtproute for foo.fake to pair.quepasa.com.
pair.quepasa.com accepts the mail for virtual domain foo.fake, then
forwards it [EMAIL PROTECTED] pair.quepasa.com had a smtproute that
sends all quepasa.com mail to inbound.quepasa.com.criticalpath.net.
Pair's entire function is to change mail that comes in as
[EMAIL PROTECTED], back to a clean quepasa.com address.

stunnel encrypts everything, where as often you only need to encrypt certain
parts of a message. I wrote a data server in perl which had only certain
encrypted state/session and other auth strings but left the rest in clear text.
Performance was pretty good.

hello,
I installed qmail according to LWQ . LWQ says,
To use tcpserver, add the following to your qmail startup script (not
inetd.conf):
tcpserver -v -R 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup FQDN \
/bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 2>&1 | \
/var/qmail/bin/splogger pop3d &
where pop3 is the name of the POP3 service listed in /etc/services and FQDN
is the fully qualified domain name of the POP server you're setting up,
e.g., pop.example.net
So I added it to my /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail file that I created
#!/bin/sh
PATH=/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin

test machine and I will begin installing it on our "real" mail server soon.
I can't figure out why these processes will not go away.
any help is appreciated,

Does anyone know how I can test a vpopmail installation. I know this may
probably be trivial, but I like DJB's instructions, especially since he
always allows provisions for testing..

Hello,
I've got a problem that I've been mulling over for
work. We have an external (outside our firewall)
qmail server that simply relays e-mail through the
firewall(proxy & packet filtering) into an internal
mail server. Nothing is queued on the external mail
server, it's just an incoming and outgoing relay.
How could we allow users to connect to the internal
mail server to retrieve their e-mail?
We only want to allow the external mail server to
connect through the firewall to the internal mail
server so we can limit access through the firewall to
a single IP for better security. That way an intruder
would first have to compromise the external mail
server before being allowed to access the internal one
through the firewall (I realize that's not perfect,
but every little bit helps)
Could we set up a web server on the external mail
server and have it forward it's requests through the
proxy to the internal mail server running sqwebmail?
Is there a way to have a pop3 server on the external
mail server that would forward requests to the
internal mail server?
Any other suggestions are welcome.
Thank you for any help in advance! I figure 100's of
heads are better than my one ;-)
Steve
P.S. We would also want the entire session encrypted:
SSL if using the web server, stunnel for the pop3
option (or anything else that would work).

First off it probably doesn't have anything at all to do with QMAILQUEUE
just laying the foundation down for the implementation
this seems to only be happening on some hosts and I can't figure out what
the uniqueness is
and the 451 qq internal bug doesn't tell me much when i look at the

here is a session that causes the error

451 qq internal bug (#4.3.0)
AAACK!!!!!
I am lost
here is the setup for the qmail shit
the qmail-smtpd.cdb is populated based upon
168.100.206.150:allow,RELAYCLIENT="",QMAILQUEUE="/usr/local/bin/qmail-filterq"
and
/usr/local/bin/qmail-filterq:
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/qmail-qfilter /usr/local/bin/log_sent
(the log_sent is the program I have that logs the data n stuff)
either way if i just have
/usr/local/bin/qmail-filterq:
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/qmail-qfilter
(no parameters) the same error occurs
Any help would be a god blessing!
Thanks for your time,

What are the permissions on these files? Make sure they are both
readable and executable by whatever user qmail-smtpd is running as.

Hi folks,
I'm still a bit confused on how to use Fetchmail properly and hope
some of you can help.
We have a remote server which uses one cyrus imap account for the entire
company mail. Joe, bob, and john all have @madeforchina.com accounts
which (unless have .qmail aliases) will go to the default which is
an imap account called 'temp'. I'd like to fetch 'temp' down to a local
server and have mail sorted by user on local.
1) Fetch from the imap account called 'company'
2) fetchmail pops all mail to local which pipes it to local smtp
3) local SMTP uses default --smtpname (ie root@localhost)
4) qmail can't deliver to root@localhost and so all mail bounces
I've got a gut feeling I am missing something really obvious. Basically,
I need smtpname to be set to the orginal rcpt of the message.
So, the idea is to change fetchmail source so that fetchmail will
use the original messages 'Delivered-To' header line for the local SMTP
transactions RCPT line. This will ensure correct sorting of email on
localhost.
Using MDA doesn't solve the problem since it may lose mail if the
mail address doesn't exist (ie no bounced mails) Also, with MDA
if I forward my existing webmail to the remote server and then fetch
mail back down to localhost, this forwarded mail gets lost.
Any help on the above would be appreciated.

Hi!
Thanks to everyone for the infos about relaying!
No it runs perfectly, okay without aliases, but
the rest runs fine!
Nico
P.S.: Does anyone know, where I can find more infos about
virtualdomains + aliases ? I did everything found
in the faq @bernstein.
Hi all.
I'm using qmail and now i'm trying to allow the relay only to the people that first
check the pop3.
For this purpose i use vpopmail-4.8a (that allow to set up virual users too) but i'm
not able to start smptd with this options, here it's my startup file for qmail:
csh -cf '/var/qmail/rc &'
QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaild`
NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild`
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -H -R 0 pop-3 -v -p -c100 -u$QMAILUID \ -g$NOFILESGID 0 smtp
rblsmtpd /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd &
#/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -R -x/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c100 -u71 \
-g65534 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd &
The "#" was my previous startup line that work well, but with the new
line if i try to connect to the smtpd i get connection refused.
How can I start qmail with the vpopmail support?
Thanks.
Davide
