----------------------------------------------------------------------
I've succesfully installaed qmail on a 486dx2 66 named tulip into
my local network (its domain name equal to DOMINIO).
That means that when I write an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], all
works correctly and the email reaches the right pop account.
I've read many documentation both in English than in Italian language
but really I've not realized yet deeply the philosophy stands behind
Qmail: my goal is to (in some way) link internal mail with that of my
ISP (based on a registered domain). Using fetchmail an
procmail to receive and configuring qmail with serial mail to throw out
my outgoing mail.
My questions are: how can I achieve this goal? and what virtualdomain
means and how can be used?
Hoping that someone can help me,
Thank You,
Angelo Gelmi

I no longer run inetd, however I had an hpux machine that couldn't live
without running telnetd thru it (FreeBSD does it just fine). That said..
It depends on what you're using for pop before smtp. I'm using smtp-poplock
by David Harris (http://www.davideous.com/smtp-poplock/) and have had no
problems at all with it. I'm starting everything thru rc.local, here's
how I start the pop3 service:
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver 0 110 /usr/local/sbin/spop3d 2> /var/log/poplog &
and here's how I start qmail-smtpd:
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -g 1001 -u 1004 0 25 \
/usr/sbin/relaylock /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd &
The -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb isn't really needed in my case as it only has
the 127. line in it.

Hi everyone,
I asked a few weeks ago about known issues with qmail not delivering
BCC messages. After investigating further, the client is claiming
that the messages that are not delivered have ONLY a BCC (no to, no
cc). In a quick reading of RFC822, it appears that there is some
ambiguity to the spec (surprise!)... a "destination" is required,
where destination is defined as a To:, CC: or Bcc:. But, it also
says that the Bcc: can be put only on the author's copy, or on
all Bcc recipients copies, but NOT on To: or CC: recipient copies
of the message. It's optional in the first two cases.
So, in theory, a message with a BCC only would have no To:, CC:,
or Bcc: headers, at least in some cases. Question is, is the
message then a "legal" message, or would qmail just drop it since
there is no "destination"? I know Dan is a stickler for observing
correct protocol (I agree with him), but I'm not sure if this is
a bug or "expected behavior".
Thanks!

I don't think that there is such a problem *in general*.
Unfortunately, I don't have your previous message handy.

Your analysis is correct. The only part of qmail that handles this
is qmail-inject, and it handles this case correctly by always removing
the Bcc: header and inserting a dummy, but valid Cc: header if no
Addresses are left:
if (!htypeseen[H_TO] && !htypeseen[H_CC])
puts("Cc: recipient list not shown: ;\n");
The rest of qmail couldn't care less about the contents of
previous headers. qmail will happily deliver an incoming mail with no
headers at all. It will insert its own Received: headers, of course.
The only way I can think of that qmail may drop a Bcc: mail is the
following:
An external Bcc mail comes in without any destination headers and
is fed to some script that tries to reinsert the mail without giving
new destination addresses, but that would be nonsensical, I think.

There's also the important point of "being liberal in what you accept".
Could you please (re-)provide some more details, maybe it is a MUA problem.

None I know of.

Dan thought of this. He puts an empty list in the "cc:" field, so his
messages are definitely valid. It is possible that the client's MTA is
broken, and can't handle empty recipient lists; they look like this:
"CC: recipient list not shown: ;".

Hi all
I am trying to use :include: lines in /etc/aliases with fastforward, but
aren't getting very far and the man pages aren't helping me. I think I'm
just going through some kind of mental dropout here...Anyway could someone
please brief me on the usage of :include: files with fastforward and qmail?
Thanks!

Have you read the file ALIAS in the fastforwarrd-package? After
newinclude and newaliases everything works fine for me.
The :include: line looks like this:
<name>: :include: </path/to/file>
The file is just a list of email-adresses.
Don't forget to run newinclude and don't forget to put
| fastforward -d /etc/aliases.cdb
in your ~alias/.qmail-default.

What does the <name> signify? And are there meant to be two colons
immediately after each other (shown)? Also, is the /path/to/file meant to be
to the .bin file or the un-binarised version?

Whichever address you want to have expanded.

> immediately after each other (shown)?
Yes, just like sendmail.
> Also, is the /path/to/file meant to be
> to the .bin file or the un-binarised version?
Quoted from newaliases(1):
A recipient address of the form :include:file means
``every address listed in file.'' (Actually fastforward
reads file.bin; see newinclude(1) for further details.)
Conclude as appropriate.

i find my problem !
there is a little bug in qmail !
if you use qmail-inject as a link to datemail (to put the date)
AND try to use sendmail with any option you want it add the -H or -a option
(sgetopt.c) ...
so when i want to call sendmail, it call qmail-inject which call datemail
which call sendmail with not recognized options -H or -a ...
BUG (or bad utilisation) reported :)

If I understand you correctly, then this is not the way you are
meant to arrange these programs.
You might link /var/qmail/bin/datemail to sendmail or maybe
link /var/qmail/bin/sendmail to sendmail but definitely *do not* link
anything to /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject.
Show us the output of: ls -l /var/qmail/bin
> BUG (or bad utilisation) reported :)
If I understand you correctly, then "bad utilisation".

now i have (normal way):
/var/qmail/bin:
...
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root qmail 126 Aug 30 15:30 datemail
...
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root qmail 33244 Aug 30 15:34 qmail-inject
...
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root qmail 8700 Aug 30 15:35 sendmail
...
but when i had the problem, i had (wrong way):
/var/qmail/bin:
...
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root qmail 126 Aug 30 15:30 datemail
...
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root qmail 33244 Aug 30 15:34 qmail-inject -> datemail
...
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root qmail 8700 Aug 30 15:35 sendmail
...
and i try :
cat << EOF | /usr/sbin/sendmail -i -t
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: test
test text.
EOF
of course in /usr/sbin :
...
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Aug 24 16:25 sendmail ->
/var/qmail/bin/sendmail
...
it tells me:
sendmail: illegal option -- H
sendmail: usage: sendmail [ -t ] [ -fsender ] [ -Fname ] [ -bp ] [ -bs ] [ arg ... ]
>> BUG (or bad utilisation) reported :)
> If I understand you correctly, then "bad utilisation".
no really because if i want to put the local date in all mails i could use:
ln -s /var/qmail/bin/datemail /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject
without any problem with /var/qmail/bin/sendmail no ?
(i saw this solution somewhere but i don't remind where exactly)

Am i to understand that rblsmtpd's devlopment has ceased? I think DJB's
page says some mention of that, and also instructs that the functionality
has been introduced into tcpserver now.
LWQ still makes mention of using rblsmtpd, and i'm trying to set this up
on a new server i'm toying with. Anybody know any good instructions on
setting these black hole lists up with tcpserver?

You're reading it wrong. It says that rblsmtpd became part of
ucspi-tcp package, not of tcpserver. Get the newest ucspi-tcp from
http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp.html and when you build the programs,
rblsmtpd gets built, too.

Ahhhhh :) no wonder i cant find any information on anything but rblsmtpd
:) I thought perhaps everybody was being lazy and hadnt switched over to

You misunderstood the statement. rblsmtpd is now part of the ucspi-tcp
package. See: http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp.html

In the /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run script, change the memory
limit to 3000000 or 4000000. There's a note about this in LWQ, but
it's easy to miss.

qmail folds the case on the local part of email addresses automatically.
You don't need to do anything. Mail received for "JoeBob" will automatically
be delivered to local user "joebob".

So I thing I am not understanding something...
Attached is part of my mailog in which we can see local trying to
deliver usernames in caps.
I was just wondering if maildrop searches the userdb in case sensitive!

I have to say that we are having a similar problem with qMail+Cyrus (a
system I inherited some months back and have been toying with converting
to qMail+Courier instead). I'm begining to think it has something to do
with case sensitivity in the alias assignments within users/assign (all
real-world addresses are assigned to the cyrus user for local
delivery). I get regular complaints from people who continue to give out
capitalized versions of their E-mail address (or set them as authoritative
addresses in their mail clients), regardless of how often we tell them not
to do that.

I looked at the PIC's and realized qmail-lspawn checks users/cdb
before calling qmail-local, ,and thought I might be on to something,
but qmail-lspawn lowercases the local part before looking for it in
users/cdb, so we're back to square one.
Is this repeatable? Do mixed-case local parts always fail?

It is. It causes mail loops, bogus bounces, bogus double-bounces, and
generally creates headaches for any postmaster which cares about the stuff
that ends up in their inbox. Note that I'm biased; I'm the author of
getmail.

This is a good solution to many of the problems with fetchmail.

As in, run getmail in a shell which happens to be communicating over an SSH
session? I don't see the problem. This isn't particularly germane to qmail,
so contact me in private email for further info.

It appears you are confusing a mail transfer agent (MTA, e.g. qmail)
with a mail delivery agent (MDA, e.g. maildrop or procmail). There's
only one other item I can think of in the M's of the e-mail alphabet
soup -- that would be a mail user agent (MUA, e.g. mutt or pine).
This makes it really unclear what you are really attempting to
accomplish; I'm assuming you aren't really trying to replace qmail
with maildrop, but this is what it sounds like.

As far as I know Netscape show the localtime in the message list but
doesn't change anything in the header. But, in some cases it doesn't
show it correctly.

In my years of working with computers, networks, and email, I don't
think I've *ever* seen an MUA that performs this theoretically
desirable function. I'm sure people can cite several, but it doesn't
appear to be at all common. I'm all for it; I think MUA's *should* do
that. But in practice, I don't think they mostly parse the headers at
all, they just filter which to display and which to not display, and
display the actual text of any chosen.

Well, I can name one: mutt. You can use %D, or %[...] (where ... is
replaced by a strftime(3)-format string). Not that I know how to make
this affect the actual display of the header when reading a message,
but you can definitely tweak the index this way.
I sometimes wish mutt has a conversion for ``adjust to UTC''. Oh well.

Hmm. Using an SMTP-after-POP patch? Sounds like it's fubar'd.
-Dave
I'm sure it's something i'm doing, but for some reason, whenever i add
rblsmtpd stuff to my qmail-smtpd startup script, it gets fubar'ed.
I have the normal stuff commented out, which if i put it back it works
fine.
With the rblsmtpd stuff in there, when telnetting to port 25, it's just
dead... I'm sure it's some kind of syntax error, but i cant figure
it. This is also a patched rblsmtpd for the new MAPS no TXT records, i
dont think that has anything to do with it tho, any ideas?
Here's the relevant info:

Okay, for outgoing messages, perhaps... right... we're getting confused
over what is where, etc...
The point is that Outlook incorrectly translates the header information
and shows the UTC time for mail that comes through a qmail server,
whereas Netscape properly translates and shows the local time of
arrival.
I'm curious -- how does my mail appear in your mailbox? Does it show UTC
or local time of arrival?

As far as I know Netscape show the localtime in the message list but
doesn't change anything in the header. But, in some cases it doesn't
show it correctly.

Howdy,
I've sent this problem to the list once before and never got any responses that
helped, so I'm trying again.
Whenever I send an email (To my Linux server running qmail-ldap) with an attachment,
no matter how small, it gets to a certain point, and simply hangs. Here's the kicker
though: When I use Linux Netscape as the client, this happens. When I use any Mac
based email client, it's still abnormally slow, but it doesn't hang. Eventually it
goes. I've determined that it's not a network problem, as I can download mail with
attachments with no problems. I can also upload files via scp at a normal 10Mbps
network rate.
This is the command line used to start the smtp server:
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -u 401 -g 417 0 smtp
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
Anyone have any insights? Thanks in advance.

What do the logs say? Does this happen when you send a really long
message without attachments through qmail?

It's a MUA problem. Mails with attachments are still normal ascii mails. It
completely indifferent to the MTA (unless that MTA looks at the body. Do
you have some kind of filter, virus scanner, etc?)

Yes, I forgot to mention that I have Amavis scanning the emails for virii. But Amavis
basically boils down to renaming qmail-remote and qmail-local to qmail-remote-real and
qmail-local-real, respectively, and linking the Amavis virus scanner program to
qmail-local and qmail-remote. I have conducted tests where I've removed these links
and renamed the files back to their original names then restarted qmail, and this has
not solved the problem. Since I did not do the original installation of qmail on this
machine, I'm not aware of any other filters.
Also, the logs don't show anything out of the ordinary. I'm looking through
/var/log/maillog. Is there some other log file that might help? I'm somewhat new to
qmail. Where would I look for other filters?
Thanks

This seems to happen to emails with large messages and no attachments as well. The
logs say nothing.

Hi,
following the current debate, could anyone please give a simple

out the right manpage)? Some are trivial, some I could not find.
1. Matching a username, qmail-local smashes the case to lower.
1a. Consequence or 1: BoB never gets mail.
2. Matching an extension, qmail-local smashes the case to lower.
2a. Consequence: .qmail-ExTension is useless.
3. $DEFAULT contains the string as typed by sender, not the

4. Dtto for $EXT, $EXT2 etc.
5. Dtto for $HOST, $HOST2 etc.

True.

True, but many Internet users assume that email addresses are case
insensitive. BoB might have mail problems in any case.

Now I have an /etc/aliases.cdb file which does not contain the email
address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
and I want to check if it will be able to be passed through to a default
forward line.
The reason for this is that it seems that using fastforward with
/etc/aliases.cdb and virtualdomains are kind
of mutually exclusive. The virtualdomains file gets processed before any
check of the /etc/aliases.cdb file is
performed thus bypassing fastforward. And if there are several (100's) of
emails which don't stay local, then
I have hundreds of .qmail files for the exceptions.... seems to me that
would be very inefficient.
Here is an example of my environment:
I have some very fast front-end smtp (qmail) systems that receive mail to be
either forwarded to an external
email address or forwarded to an internal email database. So....
Say I have a virtual domain: virtdom.com and most mail gets delivered
internally and forwarded to the mail database
system in the format of username~[EMAIL PROTECTED] and some
other emails get forwarded via an aliases file to an external email address.
Would the above .qmail-default file work if correctly formatted.
Thanks.

Put the $RESPONSE and $STRING in quotes. Also note that if fastforward
is sending the error on standard error it might not be caught.

Yeah, it would. So why not handle them in /etc/aliases? Did you catch
the part in the ALIASES file that describes how to do that? Or am I
missing something?

I changed both MAIL_DIR and QMAIL_DIR to Maildir and still nothing.
What do you mean by saying "upgrade login program"? Upgrade it to what?
And how am I to know what login program I have now?

I presume you're dealing with some sort of Linux distribution here.
A Linux distribution is built up of many separate components, so that
each component is developed on its own. So, it doesn't surprise me that
there may be newer versions of the login program around.
The login program is in a package called ``shadow'', unless you use
Debian, in which case I think it's called ``login''.
Which distribution (e.g., Debian, Red Hat, SuSE, &c) do you use?
> What is qbiff?
See qbiff(1). In short, it's a program you invoke in a .qmail file to
notify you whenever you get a new message.

They both stated:
> if [ $RESPONSE = $STRING ];
Make this "$RESPONSE" = "$STRING" and try again.
And Alexander noted:
Also note that if fastforward is sending the error on standard error it
might not be caught.
So my final .qmail-default contents are: (ALL ON ONE LINE)
| RESPONSE=`/var/qmail/bin/fastforward -nd /etc/aliases.cdb 2>&1`;
STRING='Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1)';
if [ "$RESPONSE" = "$STRING" ];
then /var/qmail/bin/forward "$EXT"~"$HOST"@smtp.loadmail.com;
else /var/qmail/bin/fastforward -d /etc/aliases.cdb; fi
I tested it and it works great!
Thanks for all your help

I have a generic qmail-queue-wrapper program. It's written in perl and
in its standard form, does nothing but add another Received header to
the message before calling the real qmail-queue. If you can program in
perl you can get it to do whatever you want. I'm using it to do header
rewrites at one site.
It should be installed with no special permissions
-rwx--x--x qmailq qmail /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue
Program is attached.
You can also have a look at Jason Haar's scan4virus program. It too is
a perl qmail-queue-wrapper. Details at www.qmail.org.

#
# qmail-queue wrapper program.
#
# This program should be used when you wish to manipulate a mail
# message BEFORE it is placed in the queue. Possible uses include:
#
# - header rewriting
# - Firstname.Lastname replacements
# - virus scanning
# - anything else you can think of
#
# There are at least 2 ways of using this program:
#
# 1) Replace the original qmail-queue with this program:
#
# mv /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue.orig
# cp qmail-queue-wrapper /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue
#
# Change the value of $qmailqueue below, to reflect the new name of
# the original qmail-queue program. For example
#
# my $qmailqueue = "/var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue.orig";
#
# 2) Recompile qmail with Bruce Guenter's QMAILQUEUE patch. (See
# http://www.qmail.org/qmailqueue-patch). Then any program that
# needs to use this program can be called with the environment
# variable QMAILQUEUE set to /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue-wrapper
#
# How does it work? The interface to the real qmail-queue is simple:
#
# - the body of the message is read from file descriptor 0
# - the envelope details are read from file descriptor 1.
#
# qmail-queue-wrapper also adheres to the same interface. After doing
# whatever manipulations are necessary, it calls the real qmail-queue
# and provides the message body on file descriptor 0 and the envelope
# details on file descriptor 1.
#
# Exit codes conform to those mentioned in the qmail-queue(8) manual page.

Hi Folks;
Where can I locate the detailed log/SMTP transaction record for a mail
that was delevered to my mail server (qmail-1.03)?
Need to track the sender by IP address
Thanks

Hello
all.
I have a strange
problem.
I fiddled around
with my qmail, and sent a message to a local domain, but the user doesnt exist,
and i get a lot of deferal unable to change to mailbox
errors!!
my question is: how
can i delete this message from the quere?? i guess its a simple FAQ, but i cant
seem to find it.
i see it when i
type qmail-qstat i get:
messages in queue:
1
messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 0
when i type qmail-qread i
get:
i want to delete
this message!!!
how can i do
this??
thanks in
advance!!

You show us no logs. We're meant to deduce what qmail is trying to do from this?

I'll bet you're guessing.

You purposely corrupt the output of this command. We're meant to deduce what is really
in the queue from this?
> i want to delete this message!!!

You need to use the -d option on the qmail-fiddle command. Don't forget to run
it from a special place reserved for people who are especially well suited to
using this command.

The pleasure is all yours.

Hi;
I am trying to setup selective relaying for a client who wants to send
email through our Qmail server from his office LAN.
I allowed his office IP block in my /etc/tcp.smtp file as follows
xxx.yyy.zzz.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
.
.
.
:allow
This I assume this will let him relay as long as he comes from the IP address
pool above regardles of what his email address is.
But relay fails until I also put his domain in the /control/rcpthosts
file! I don't want everybody in his domain to relay just him.
How to do that?
Thanks
Dan
Have you rebuilt the tcp.smtp.cdb file? See the cdb) entry in the qmail rc
file in Life With Qmail (links to it in www.qmail.org) for more...

You could try a pop before smtp program that you use with qmail. It
will in real time add and remove (based on a time limit) ip's to the
relay control file for people who have pop accounts your system. The
way it works is a person would check their mail which involves their
mail client contacting the server's pop daemon. The pop before smtp
program would let the user get verified and logged in then record their
IP address to the relay file so that when they go to send mail via smtp
it will allow his ip address. I have it working with Vpopmail (which is
a virtual mail add-on to qmail but also has the above feature) and it
works fine. Another program which doesn't do virtual mail it just does
the pop before smtp is by Bruce Guenter and can be downloaded and etc
from em.ca/~bruceg/relay-ctrl/ . I haven't personally tried it but I
have heard it mentioned many times here in the list.
Take Care,

Yes, provided three things are true:
- the source IP must be in the xxx.yyy.zzz network
- you have used tcprules to make the rules into the cdb that tcpserver
uses
- your tcpserver process was started with the -x option which specifies
the cdb file you made in the previous step

rcpthosts lists *destinations* you will accept mail for. Setting
RELAYCLIENT in the environment tells qmail-smtpd to accept mail for any
destination, in that session.

Please, go easy on me...I'll need the idiots guide version to doing

I do not have a permanent ppp connection - it is up a few hours per day,

The easy solution would be to set up your ISPs mail server as a global
smtproute. Do that by putting a line in /var/qmail/control/smtproutes
that looks like this:
:mail.myisp.com
That will send all outbound mail through that server.
If you want to be a bit more spiffy and set it up to queue outbound
mail, etc. you can use serialmail to do all sorts of neat things:

Assuming you have access to your ISPs mail server, place this into
/var/qmail/control/smtproutes
:YourISPsmailserver
And all remote deliveries will be sent to YourISPsmailserver which hopefully isn't
in any of those relay lists.

hi..
I've set up a virtual domain, say domain1.
before setting up that virtual domain, I use domain0.
I put domain0 in rcpthosts and virtualdomains.
but when I try to send an e-mail to domain1 from another machine.
it sent to domain0.
is there anyone can help me with this??
thx in advance.
yusuf
Look at vpopmail
http://www.inter7.com/vpopmail/
It's the perfect utility to set up vdomains...
I would first erase any files you started messing around with. Reset them
back to orignal state and then install.. It's almost tooooo simple

I have a QMAIL-alias problem. Can you please show me the way?
Thanks!
QMAIL Problem Summary
I am attempting to setup the postmaster alias, and as the FAQ of the site
http://www.flounder.net/qmail/qmail-howto.html instructs me, I have done.
Following is the contents of the ~alias/.qmail-postmaster script:
john.doe.jr
In the users/assign file, there is an entry:
=<organization>-<com>-john.doe.jr:pop3ctrl:508:503:/popboxes/organization/do
ej2
When I attempt to send EMAIL to the postmaster account, I receive the
dreaded 'no mailbox here...' message as a return EMAIL.
I can send and receive EMAIL from the john.doe.jr account.
The ~alias directory has the following attribs:
drwxr-sr-x 2 alias qmail 4096 June 22 12:12 alias/
And the .qmail-postmaster file has the following attribs:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 alias qmail 8 Aug 24 05:33
.qmail-postmaster
I am using ./Maildir/
***
I have searched the Archive for someone else that may have had a similar
problem, and so far, I found one thread that was close.
Thread Title: .qmail-USER fails
In this thread dated 5 March, 1998, instructions were given to the reader to
complete the following test:
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-getpw postmaster | tr '\0' '\012'
The output that I received was:
alias
501
501
/var/qmail/alias
-
postmaster

Can you please help?
Thanks!

Hi folks!
I would like to know how can I make the address '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
local and to be delivered to the user joe(@localhost).
I've tried this config:
/users/assign
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:joe:503:78:/home/joe:::
/control/locals
[..]
yahoo.com
# silly ain't it?
/control/rcpthosts
[..]
yahoo.com
/control/virtualdomains
fixme:fixup
:alias-ppp
I don't run a dns server.
This way joe gets the message but all the yahoo can't be local, right ;)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time,
Peter
BTW I would like to congratulate the person who wrote LWQ. It's the best
doc I've ever read.
Pete,
The only way your gonna achieve this is to contact YAHOO (probably at the
home page), and set up a dot forward function on that mail account. This
will instruct Yahoo to forward the messages bound for [EMAIL PROTECTED] to
another mail account (which you will specify).
Configuring QMAIL as you are attempting to do will have no effect. DO NOT
attempt to research and configure a DNS to approach this problem.
Attempting to "masquerade" as YAHOO.COM will get you in a heap of trouble,
not to mention cause a lot of trouble on the internet.
Regards,
Tom

Something I have not noticed in many years has started the last few weeks.
Qmail has been getting very slow at responding. I also noticed in the logs
that it is handling a lot of email that can't be returned(spam.)
Is there a way to clear out the old mail if this is the cause.
Customers have been receiving a lot of errors that the server has not
responded in 60 seconds do they want to wait or stop.
Thanks
Bob Ross
Thanks
Bob Ross
Hi Bob, People told me that possible causes are ident service (port 113)
closed on somewhat firewall, and tcpserver could be run without
hostname-lookups, qmail is getting faster by that. actually, after having
eliminated these things, you'll remark that not the POP-Service but
qmail-smtpd is the task that takes long for authorizing. But I still have no
solution for that.

Make sure your reverse DNS lookups are working. We had the same thing
earlier in the week.

Hello,
I've a strange problem to submit...
I installed qmail on my linux server with pop-3 (using
cdb-0.55, checkcdb and checkpassword-0.81).
It worked fine until now...
I just installed a tacacs server on the same server,
and now, users cannot get their mail via pop-3.
I know it could be tacacs, but what can I do ???
I already reinstall the pop packages, no success.
I tryed this (according INSTALL file)
[root@xxx checkpassword-0.81]#
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup xxx /bin/checkpassword pwd
+OK <3195.967655569@xxx>
user avaliduser
+OK
pass hispass
-ERR authorization failed
Somebody can help ?
Many thanks,
Mike.

Hi,
my trouble with qmail is that I can't telnet port
110 (connection refused).
A complete list of the configuration would be a bit
annoying.
Any idea at this level of what can be
done?
Thanks in advance for any

OK normally we would like...
1. the line you are using to start the pop3 daemon (and which one you're
using)
2. any other files that are being used to run it (eg tcp.smtp)
3. if you are using tcpserver or inetd
4. the log entries (there 99% will be an error in one of the logs when you
try telnet)
Not much good we can do without this, no matter how annoying it is for you
to provide it...
