Hi,

There are a number of postings pertaining to the insertion of an 
X-EnvelopeTo header on all incoming mails, but there doesn't seem to be a 
terribly useful solution to the problem as far as I can see. The situation 
is that the envelope must be added to all mail so as to include the 
original "To" address in the envelope after a mail is forwarded in order to 
ensure compatibility with all of our existing mail users. I have played 
around a little with some ideas, but to no avail.

Could someone please point me in the right direction.

Many thanks in advance,

Tristan Graham.


Hi,
 
I have setup qmail 1.03 on a Red Hat Linux 6.1 machine so that i can use the EZMLM for my mailing lists. There were one or two issues that i was not able to understand.
 
1. I am not able to telnet to port 25,though i am able to send mails. I belive this can be configured in one of the files.
 
2. I want it to support other domains too. But the virtualdomains file does not exist under the control directory. Is this created automatically or can we create the same. Similar for Concurrencyremote.
 
3. When i receive the mail, how do i read it. I admit i have gone through all that the given but still can't make out of it. I used to use pine for reading the mails.
 
Pardon me if some of the question look stupid, but i am just trying to get a hang of it.
 
Thanks in Advance
 
Regards
Kiran


But i remember having the changed the port no. in some file, when i had installed it 2-3 months back. Does any such file exist.

  1. The file virtualdomain you create manually : echo domain.com /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains

qmail-smtpd is not properly configured. How did you install qmail?

Config files don't exist until you create them.

What format is your mailbox? Maildir or mbox? If it's mbox, set the
MAIL environment variable to its absolute path, or configure pine to
look in the right place. If it's maildir, you'll need to install a
maildir-aware pine or use mutt.

Hi,
I started qmail-smtpd using "sh -cf  '/var/qmail/rc &' " and it did show me
all the 4 process that are started with it. I am able to send mails remotely
but when i telnet to port 25 , it says unable to connect. This means that
qmail is running on a different port which i like to change over to 25. Is
there a place where this can be done. I remember doing something of this
sort while i was installing using qmail rpms. Now i was trying to installing
using the tar balls.
Any pointers.
Thanks in Advance

Kiran

Sorry but , what I meant was that I'm using 'tcpserver' to running qmail so
, Which is better , running qmail through tcpserver or in xinetd ?

There isn't a "spanish" sqwebmail version, and so, i have to compile english
version and latter  i've  translated all the HTML pages to my language and ... i
don't cry. Only work (two or three hours, no more). Sqwebmail is a great
webmail. Traduce the html pages and be happy.

Another approach...

There is a webmin module for qmail that is about 50% complete but hasn't
been
updated. I like it but it is too incomplete... 

Persoanlly I don't like running a web server on a mail server.

Do you have to reload your qmail-database file every time you enter a new

There is no need to HUP qmail-send unless virtualdomains or locals has 
changed.  You can add and remove users from users/assign at will 
without restarting anything.  The only thing that needs to be done is 
create the new cdb with qmail-newu.

Create a virtualdomain (say, example.com:example), and create a -owner
file (say, ~example/.qmail-foo-owner).  Send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The envelope sender gets set to [EMAIL PROTECTED]  If
that mail bounces, its delivery is controlled by
~example/.qmail-example-foo-owner, not ~example/.qmail-foo-owner as
you might expect.  Oops.

That *is* an interesting situation.

Speaking of qmail updates, have there been any grumblings from DJB in
the last decade or so about actually releasing a new version?

Russ, where do you get "owner"? Wouldn't the envelope sender be set to
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]"? Remember, this prepend is handled by qmail-send
before qmail-local ever gets to the .qmail file. Am I missing something?

Stripping out some non-applicable code from qmail-local, yes:

     if (qmeox("-owner") == 0)
      {
        {
         if (!stralloc_copys(&ueo,local)) temp_nomem();
         if (!stralloc_cats(&ueo,"-owner@")) temp_nomem();
         if (!stralloc_cats(&ueo,host)) temp_nomem();
        }

Most likely, you're looking in the wrong place. But first, you should
look at the qmail-send logs in /var/log/qmail. It's possible that the
message was deferred for some reason. If not, you need to tell us what 
you have in /var/qmail/control/defaultdelivery, ~user/.qmail, and how
you verified that the mail wasn't delivered where it should have been.

If there is no logs possible you will find something in /var/log/mail.

Is there set Maildir, mbox in Userdir (the file can be Mailbox)

I can't remember which MUA's support starttls and pops. Netscape does
starttls, at least.

  What this means is that messages received for addresses of the form

So, using your example, mail to gv-foo will be handled by

Hello people,

It's good to hear this talk among such users of qmail! I've been trying
Mr. Sam's code for some time now and we're using it alongside vpopmail
in our 5k virtualusers server. It's great.

I have not used the complete MTA also (maybe I'll try it when it get
1.0).

But, I have one question:
Do you use maildrop with vpopmail? Could you get the quota system to
work on it? I had some problens on this and to make it able to bounce
msgs to non-existent accounts.

Hi guys,

I've done a simple patch to sqwebmail so users in virtual domains
doesn't need to type their complete email address for login.
The patch suppose access webmail with the URL http://webmail.domain.com

Here users we're used to http://www.domain.com/webmail so I also did a very
simple CGI to redirect users to webmail.domain.com
I'm sending them attached, sorry for that, but just some bytes.
Hope it's usefull for someone.

I use maildrop w/ vpopmail, but I have not been using quotas.  I will be
implementing them soon.

And to make vpop bounce messages to non-existent accounts, just change
your .qmail-default for the domain to read:

| /var/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox

Yeah... but the problem would be making this work with maildrop's
filters too.

Ok thanks for help about aliases.
Yet, I've got a new problem ...
 
I created some users recently with good passwords, with good directories
 e.g. >   ~user/.qmail > ./Maildir         (like others users for whom it works)
            and a maildirmake Maildir      (too)
 a qmail restart
 
And when i send them mails, qmail says me there's no mailbox,
Why ???
 
Thanks

First, don't restart qmail when you add new users. It's completely
unnecessary.

What's the user's name?

What does the following show:

  ls -ld ~user ~user/Maildir
  ls -lR ~user/Maildir

In your .qmail file, you can specify either a Maildir or a traditional
Unix mailbox (mbox) where qmail should deliver the mail. If you write
./Maildir/, qmail assumes that it should deliver to a Maildir. If you
write ./Maildir (without the trailing slash), qmail assumes you mean a
mailbox.

Check you .qmail file for the trailing slash and "man dot-qmail" for
more information.

Hi!

I'm trying to get all mail in the form xy<pattern>@maydomain.com to be handled
by a .qmail-default file.
I've managed to get all mails starting with xy to be processed by that same
.qmail-default, but imagine I would only want to catch the mails starting with
xy followed by 4 digits! would that be possible with the assign file? even a
'?' wildcard would do!

Thanks
Paulo

Having something like this as the first line of your .qmail-default file
might do the trick:

|(cat >/dev/null; echo "$EXT2") | grep -q '^\d\d\d\d$' || exit 100

Actually, I'm not sure offhand if you can aggregate commands like that in
a .qmail file; you may have to put it into a script and call the script from
the .qmail file if this isn't allowed.

No, the best you can do is catch all xy addresses and redirect them to 
a script that checks for the four digits.

what permissions should be set on alias files?  Particularly for alias files
associated with listservs.  I'm running Listar with QMail and I'm coming
across some troubling happenings, wondering if it has something to do with
permissions of alias files.  If I send in a subscription request to one of
my mailing lists ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) I can see in
maillog that the mail hits qmail and is locally delivered.  I then jump over
the Listar and look in my cookies file and see that Listar assigned a cookie
to the request but from there I lose track of what happened.  I don't see
any remote delivery line in maillog.  There doesn't seem to be a problem
when emailing a list.  As long as you're a subscriber email gets processed
and sent out without problem.  But list commands do seem to disappear
somewhere.

Can someone give me an idea of how I might go about troubleshooting this
problem?

Is there another Solution? I'm looking for a programm using the

"master.passwd" is more important for me than user management of virtual
users

Does anyone have a script or rewritten sendmail wrapper that will
randomally pick between 3 or X queues to deliever mail to?
Basically want to run 3 qmail procs at a time, and when I have a script
send out mail, i want it to populate all three queues.  In hopes of making
throughput greater.  Have 512MB Ram on this dedicated machine, so may as
well use it.

Thanks for any assistance --

Not quite your original request, but you could put your mail queue in a 
RAMdisk.  Then pump up concurrencyremote to 500 or 1000 and watch qmail
pump out tens of thousands of messages a minute...

Interesting idea.
I have concurrency remote right now at 257, have the big-todo patches in
etc.  But whenever i do a ps ax| grep qmail-remote -c
Its usually between 30-90.  I have over 60k messages in the queue.  Goes
out fast, but still i think it could go faster?
Any reasons for this?

Maximum files perhaps?  Or disk I/O bandwidth is very likely.  What kind
of disk is /var/qmail/queue on?  RPM, interface, filesystem, etc.

Without seeing the logs we'd be guessing. You can find the exact peak concurrency
from the logs (why use an inaccurate ps for this?). You can see if qmail-remotes
are exiting abnormally from the logs.

Check your logs first. RAMdisk is unlikely to affect your system reaching
concurrency-remote if you're not injecting new mails at the time.

Hi,

I'd like to send a short message to my friend's mail account
whenever I'm online (I got dynamic access to net). I know how to
send all my mail when pppd starts but have no idea how to
mail everytime one and the same message without editing it in mutt
earlier. I wanna do it 'cause my friend gets sms everytime he got
new mail on his account. And when he will know that I'm online
we'd be able to chat to each other without any problems.
Thanks for all tips in advance,

QBA



        Sorry to post this to the list. I have posted several times to
both <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and
continue to receive posts. Due to the volume, I am unable to keep up with
it all, so only join periodically for short periods. It looks like
something is just not working properly.

        If anyone knows the list owner, perhaps they could contact him and
have him check things out, and unsubscribe me.

        Sorry, and thanks.

i set up a domain as a catchall that should forward mail to a remote 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:

in .qmail i put &[EMAIL PROTECTED]

in assign is the usual +domain-:etc, etc

for some reason, it shows up in the log, delivers successfully, but it 
never shows up in my remote box, or anywhere else for that matter

where is this mystery mail going?

You sent this message to the wrong list. Try [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi all...
 
Is anyone here using QMail with IMAP ?
How do you backup your users email ?
 
Cheers
Dennis

        I backup all user data and config data directly to another hard
drive, and also to another one or two systems on the network (also hard
drive). I do not trust tape, and I can keep 7 days worth of backups ready
for immediate use.

        Only development stuff needs to be backed up for longer term
storage (i.e CD-RW).

Hello everyone,
 
I am new to qmail, so please forgive my ignorance.  I tried to install qmail using life with qmail under RH7.  When I run /etc/rd.d/init.d/qmail, it seems to start okay.  Every 10 seconds something accesses the disk.  I think it is multilog.  I probably have a little typo in one of the /var/qmail/supervise run files.  I looked, but I can't see it.  Could someone please help me?  Pleae reply to my email address, [EMAIL PROTECTED].  Thanks.
 
/var/log/qmail/current looks like: (I removed a zillion lines like these, though)
