Can anybody help!!! I have qmail running on Linux 6.1 server , since last 5 months, As the linux users have increased qmail is rejecting to accept the mails sent through outlook express with an attachments.?

Errors include timeouts, > insufficient memory, and being unable to read control files. I'm seeing around the same number of status 0 and status 256 in my tcpserver logs for qmail-smtpd, around 250 for each in a 5-minute period. I guess that means half the incoming SMTP transactions fail? Brian -- Brian Baquiran [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi all, A quick general question! What are the unacceptable characters in the creation of addresses, and what are acceptable? For example, can addresses be created with '\' or '£' I know that you can have '.' but is there a list or a guide to refer to! Thanks Slider

Most ASCII characters are permitted although quoting is required for "special characters". RFC822: http://rfc822.x42.com/ Look for "local-part". Note that qmail folds letters to lower case, which actually is correct -- but only for the postmaster address. /magnus -- http://x42.com/

No. Except for postmaster and the null address 'local' parts of the address can be treated however the local site wants. Case can be significant or not. The broken mail servers are the ones that treat different encodings of the same address as different.

Case can be significant or not. Allright, I'm nitpicking. It's ok for me. But RFC821 also says that "SMTP implementations must take case to preserve the case of user names as they appear in mailbox arguments" and since I can create users with different casing, in this case the SMTP implementation isn't taking care of this, isn't so? And the case folding is only for user lookups. The environment variables such as DEFAULT, LOCAL etc is not folded. A matter of taste I assume. > The broken mail servers are the ones that treat different encodings of > the same address as different. I agree that those are broken. /magnus -- http://x42.com/

The idea is that you can't assume that any other server will unify the cases. About all that can be said is that qmail isn't wrong here. You can't quite make a case that qmail is right. Either approach is legal by RFC821/RFC822.

No, the broken mail servers are the ones that don't preserve the case on *remote* local parts. The RFC's allow systems to use either case sensitive or case insensitive local parts--which is what your first sentence says, so maybe the second sentence was a typo. -Dave

Yes, STMP servers must preserve case. However once you are doing local delivery you can fold case.

By different encodings I was referring to address encodings such as "local"@example.com and [EMAIL PROTECTED] being treated differently. There are at least some Microsoft mail servers broken in that they treat these address encodings differently.

Not that I've had any use for it, and since all the environment is not folded it only affects local users anyway. /magnus -- http://x42.com/
Hello Listwhy does it say in all the qmail manuals and LWQ to start smtpd with tcpserver with the -p switchto check dns addresses?why not start it with -R -H ? it runs much much faster that way...Can someone explain this please?THanks in advance...Haim

Just being cautious. A bad guy could set up reverse DNS entries to make his IP addresses look like anyone he wants. By setting -p, you're requiring that the name and IP address are listed both forwards and backwards. >why not start it with -R -H ? it runs much much faster that way... >Can someone explain this please? -R disables IDENT lookups, and -H disables host name lookups.

IP addresses are more useful when trying to blame someone for something. Occasionally they might be used for host authenication where you don't get (or want to deal with) IP address changes. You don't want to do this where the costs of a break in are high. ident lookups can help another site determine which of their users is causing you problems. In general I don't find this very helpful. If I am having problems with a host I would be inclined to block all access by the host and not worry about whether the other site would be able to track things back easier with the ident information. Other people might have different requirements for which cooperating with other sites to help them find troublemakers is valuable enough to make doing the ident lookups worthwhile.

If 113 is used by qmail for authorization, probably I'll have to >open it. Port 113 is serviced by ident servers. tcpserver can make connections to ident servers (at the site attempting to connect to tcpserver) if you set things up that way. If you don't want to run your own ident server (often a good idea), the best way to do this is to just not run a service on port 113. If you are really paranoid you can let syn packets through, but block everything else to that port. You don't want to use the DENY or REJECT destinations in ipchains (which is the usual firewall tool with linux 2.2.x) because that can result in delays. DENY ignores packets which will almost always result in a delay connecting. REJECT sends host port unreachable which will sometimes cause delays. Not all hosts give up right away upon getting that response. Letting the connection attempt occur to an unserviced port will result in a TCP RST reply which tells the remote host that ident is definitely not available and there will be no significant delay. Though some servers might refuse to allow access if there is no ident server running. I have heard of IRC servers that work this way. If you need access to such a service there are ident replacements that return a fixed response that should satisfy these broken servers.

I don't want it to go to my smarthost, I want it to use qmail-qmqpc to send it to my QMQP servers. If only I could specify a protocol in smtproutes... Otherwise I could run "mini-qmail" on the same box with an smtp server listening on port 26, and use smtproutes to redirect outgoing mail to localhost:26. That way it would use my qmail-qmqpc to send it off to the QMQP servers. I want to use qmail-qmqpc because I modified to load balance between multiple servers, and I don't want to bog down my list server box with queueing outgoing mail. It's going to be ALOT of outgoing mail...

Hello, I was just curious. I've browsed through most documentation for qmail, but cannot seem to find a reference to this. When local mail (via mailx) is sent from a host using qmail, it does not add the users name. i.e. [EMAIL PROTECTED] -> "John Smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. My question is, is there a patch or a control file to allow this. Thanks Darrell Wright

Firstly, you're talking about the From header field, not the envelope sender. Secondly, no, there's not a patch to do what you want. It's the mail user agent's job (mailx in this case) to populate the From header field, not qmail's. -Dave
a possible workaround: if you use the elm program (that can also be used in scripts with options and such), the headers for the outgoing mail can be specified in ~/.elm/elmheaders wolfgang Also sprach Darrell Wright <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on 25.08.2000: Hello, I was just curious.

E.g., if joe's public address is [EMAIL PROTECTED], add: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:joe to control/virtualdomains, "touch ~joe/.qmail-default", and add example.com to control/rcpthosts. -Dave

For LWQ installs, I'd recommend neither. I'd create a /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3d (and /var/log/qmail/pop3d) hierarchy modelled after /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd and I'd modify the /usr/local/sbin/qmail script to handle the pop3 service. The next rev of LWQ will likely include these changes. -Dave

I have qmail, tcpserver and vpopmail installed in my machine. It appears to me that the vpopmail is a great tool to manage multiple domains. Now my question:Supose that I have two domains:
domain1.com.br
domain2.com.brAnd two users:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

In the qmail FAQ it metions "Security note: pop3d should only b used in a secure network...". Doe sthis mean it is not fit for a server on the Internet? I see it recommended in several places but never see anthing else abou tit being insecure. Rick Glunt IT Manager Lumax Industries, Inc.
pop3 is a clear-text protocol. That implies anyone with a sniffer can log the entire pop3 conversation, including passwords. That's also valid for IMAP. Encrypted protocols should always be preferred when talking to (or through) an untrusted network (such as the internet). Unfortunately, that's not always possible.

The POP3 protocol is insecure because it uses a cleartext username and password. The better ways to do it are: - tunnel it in SSL or SSH - use Kerberos authentication - offer webmail service instead, protected by SSL - only offer it inside the firewall In corporate environments, it makes sense to restrict it to inside the firewall, where no one would ever run a packet sniffer. In home environments, it makes sense to use an SSL or SSH tunnel, as you can easily control both the server and the clients. -dsr-
What is the function of TCPLOGD? At any point of time the servers starts rejecting passwords when a client tries to check the e-mail, and the reason is "unable to fork: resource not available" If I do ps auxww to see the processes running, I see too many tcplogd running, I mean thousands. My solution up to this point is to reboot the server, but it keep doing the same thing after a while. Please help. Bolivar,

[I posted this to procmail list a few days ago, but I haven't received a response yet. So I thought I post this here hoping there's someone here using procmail that can give suggestions] Hi *, I'm trying to discard emails from somebody and have procmail return a hard error code (like 67, 77 or 100) *with* my own brief error message. The MTA is qmail. Currently I have "|preline procmail" in my .qmail file. I have tried this following recipe with partial success (email is discarded and bounced, but my brief error message is not there): :0 * ^From:.*abuser@example\.com { EXITCODE=100 :0 | echo "Permission denied" } Apparently that echo goes nowhere. This is the bounce from qmail: Hi. This is the qmail-send program at haryan.to I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent error; I've given up.

For instance: :0 f | sed 's/expletive/[expletive deleted]/g' would be a nice start at sanitizing all email passing through your .procmailrc. :) In our instance, however, we're piping our message to echo, which ignores the input it has been offered, and simply outputs our message, which procmail now takes to be the message body. The pipe with no argument makes procmail emit the current message to standard output, with the desired effect. The r flag prevents procmail from trying to add extraneous \r or \n characters to the output, which are inappropriate in this context, but appropriate for normal procmail operation. I added it mostly for aesthetic reasons on the output; try it both ways and see for yourself. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Michael Handler) washington, dc

Qmailers: I have been reading the qmail archives and found some threads that are very close to what I want accomplish and I though I would ask the qmail list for some help me with my logic. BTW: I have read the Life with Qmail and the Big Pictures documents numerous times and could not find the answer I was looking for... I have also check the www.qmail.org site and I am probably going to head out to the local bookstore to buy the new qmail book: http://www.mcp.com/sams/detail_sams.cfm?item=0672319454 so here goes... Just to refresh everyone's memory... ---Begin FIRST THREAD--- virtual mail domains I have a box which I want to be the primary MX host for virtual mail domains. That is, none of the mail is to be delivered locally, but is to have the envelope (but not the header) address rewritten and the mail forwarded. There are three classes of forwarding that I want to do. [regexps, brackets and $n a la perl ;o)] (.*)@virtual.domain.com --> $1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [ie, localparts same at both domains, so domain maps to domain] (.*)@virtual.domain.com --> user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [ie, everything in that domain goes to a single address] The third type is to have a nice big set of rules for mapping localparts in the domain to soem ADDRESSLIST where ADDRESSLIST ::= localpart@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx or ADDRESSLIST ::= ADDRESSLIST, somelocalpart@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx If you see what I mean. and in this third type, any localpart in the virtual domain that is not explicity listed can have a default of Bouncing, or going to some ADDRESSLIST The other thing is, I may have more that one virtual domain being hosted on this box, and of course user@xxxxxx and user@xxxxxx are different, so need to be handled differently. Also, although I said above that no mail would be delivered locally, that's not strictly true. I may want one of my domains (the "real" domain) to deliver locally. How can I easily do this with qmail? ---End FIRST TRHEAD--- ---Begin RESPONSE THREAD--- virtual mail domains > (.*)@virtual.domain.com --> $1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx in control/virtualdomains, add virtual.domain.com:alias-virtual in ~alias/.qmail-virtual-default, put |forward "$LOCAL@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" > (.*)@virtual.domain.com --> user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx in control/virtualdomains, add virtual.domain.com:user-virtual in ~user/.qmail-virtual-default, put &user or |forward "$USER" > The third type is to have a nice big set of rules for mapping > localparts in the domain to soem ADDRESSLIST where > ADDRESSLIST ::= localpart@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > or > ADDRESSLIST ::= ADDRESSLIST, somelocalpart@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > If you see what I mean. > > and in this third type, any localpart in the virtual domain that is > not explicity listed can have a default of Bouncing, or going to some > ADDRESSLIST Write a program to do it.

It explains what environment variables get set. > The other thing is, I may have more that one virtual domain being hosted on > this box, and of course user@xxxxxx and user@xxxxxx are different, so > need to be handled differently. Not a problem. ---End RESPONSE THREAD--- Now, my situation is very similar. I have a box that is going to act as a high speed mail relay for several virtual domains with NONE of the email coming in to be stored locally. I have taken some virtualusers tables from the previously used sendmail and created a cdb database with newaliases from fastforward. I would like to stay away from making a large number of .qmail-virtualdomain-default files... I have some lines in the file which look like: @somemail.com %1~[EMAIL PROTECTED] newaliases creates the cdb file without any problems. So when I go to test it with the fastforward command: env DEFAULT=george HOST=somemail.com /var/qmail/bin/fastforward -nd /etc/aliases.cdb from <original envelope sender> to <%1~[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The thing that I cannot figure out is why I am getting the %1 instead of having it resolved to: george~[EMAIL PROTECTED] My /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-defautl contains: | /var/qmail/bin/fastforward -d /etc/aliases.cdb I guess my question is do I need to put some other variable into .qmail-default so that %1 gets changed to george (or some other random user name), or do I even need to change the %1 to something else like $DEFAULT or something...

Is there a patch for qmail that enables the ESMTP AUTH authentication scheme (RFC 2554)? I've looked about at qmail.org, but didn't see anything obvious (forgive if I overlooked). My original plan of using something like relay-ctrl for SMTP-after-IMAP fell through when I remembered the system I am putting together will use multiple load-shared machines, which means the machine handling a user's outgoing message may not be the same machine handling his/her IMAP connection. So, I need something that works with SMTP directly, or otherwise doesn't require something that might break when multiple servers are involved. Thanks for any help! ---Kris Kelley
Hi, This may be the wrong place to post this but I didn't see a tcpserver/ucspi-tcp list. If there's a better place to post please let me know and forgive. I'm wondering if and how you can booby trap a tcprules deny rule like you can with tcpd. With tcpd for instance you can have hosts.allow allow what you want then hosts.deny has a rule: ALL: ALL: spawn (echo Attempt from %h %a to %d at `date` | tee -a /usr/adm/tcp.deny.log | mail -s "NETWORK DENY--myserver" [EMAIL PROTECTED]) & which lets me know immediately if someone has tried something naughty. From the docs I get the impression it can be done but I'm pretty stupid and can't figure out how. TIA Bill

Anyone know of a reliable way to correlate a particular smtpd log entry with the message it delivered? On a busy server the time stamps are too close together to figure it out that way...

AFAIK, you can't. smtpd only produces the IP addresses/hostnames, and it's own pid. The IP addresses are passed to qmail-send through environment, I think, but they're not logged. (it wouldn't be that useful for cross-references, anyway) RC On Fri, Aug 25, 2000 at 11:20:49PM -0500, Ben Beuchler wrote: > Anyone know of a reliable way to correlate a particular smtpd log entry > with the message it delivered?

Help..... I tried to start to qmail-pop3d but it shows a message "-ERR this user has no $HOME/Maildir". But all the users do have the Maildir directory. I don't know why? Can anyone help me with this? Thanks. Regards, Jerry
I hope this isn't too OT. I setup qmail-pop3 to run via supervise similar to the way qmail is setup if you follow Life with qmail. I created the /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3/log directories and created the necessary "run" files (or so I thought). Oddly enough, my /var partition had been filling up at a steady rate of about 5% per day. I couldn't figure out what was going on. When I did a 'du -ak' from /var, nothing was changing (at least nothing of this magnitude). After a lot of poking around, I found that I hadn't created the /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3/log/run file that start multi-log. I stopped qmail-pop3d and all of the sudden my space on /var returned. Another 'du -ak' showed the exact same results as before. Same files, same sizes, but A LOT more space was now available on /var. I then created the appropriate run file, and I haven't had a problem since. qmail-pop3d logs to /var/log/qmail/pop3 like I want it. Can anyone explain this? Is it possible to open a file for output without giving it a name? Would that be the reason that du -ak didn't show a hidden file slowly eating up disk space because supervise was trying to report that it couldn't find the "run" file in my /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3/log directory? Am I losing it? :-) As I mentioned above, everything is fine now, but I'd still like to know why this happens.

Dear I have already installed qmail on my freeBSD box. I think i have followed every step on qmail HOWTO. I ran test after it finished. If I send from local to local and local to remote both it' OK. but If i try to send from remote to local ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED]) there is a problem occured, in the remote computer the message appear like this : "(BHST) Unknown host/domain name [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Please check the message recipients and try again" qmail-smtpd run with inetd, so i try to configure file /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts but after i restart and then try again the problem still appear was there something with my installation? please let me know why. thank you very much ARIF

Hi , I have some newbie questions . I would like to know how can I disable VRFY and EXPN on my qmail server , in Sendmail server I could use novrfy and noexpn but , how can I do this in qmail ? . These commands is a good way to make spam . I would like to know too how can I create an Email , so when I send a message using this email it will send a copy of it to all users in my email system including virtual emails but , if an user try to make a reply of this email , it only will send a email to the email that I use to send to all user and not to all users in my server . Sorry for these questions , Roberto Samarone Araujo (RSA)
