Hi all... Anyonbe have any idea why a copy of the sent email is not placed in the SENT mail folder with QMail and Courier-imap ?? Dennis
Hello, I have a question about how to send all outgoing users email as <username>@abc.com, regardless of what they enter into their email client. I have entered abc.com in ~control/defaultdomain and ~control/defaulthost. It doesn't seem to rewrite the smtp headers, however. After this is accomplished, the requirement is that I implement a server based method of allowing certain people to send mail with whatever address they want and it's not changed. This is the only obstacle in the way of a mass migration to qmail, and I would appreciate all replies. Please reply to the list and via personal email. Thank You, Mike

Thus spake Raul Miller ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): > Picking up a leaflet does not involve making a copy of it. > Pulling something off of a web site involves creating a copy on your > local machine. Please enlighten me: who bullshitted you Americans into believing that one needs a license to use software? Or that software is patentable? And how did he go about this feat? The bullshit level of this comes close to major religions (who tell you that there is an invisible man in the sky who makes you rot in hell if you believe in other gods, but he also loves you). Incredible. Please put this discussion on a list with people who actually care about the US patent and licensing crap. Thank You. Felix
> Please enlighten me: who bullshitted you Americans into believing > that one needs a license to use software? Since you asked, that would be MAI Systems Corporation in 1993, in a lawsuit against Peak Computer, Inc.. See http://www.law.berkeley.edu/journals/btlj/articles/10_1/Nicholson/html/text.html for a discussion of the case and its implications. The issue of "ephemeral copies" is currently a hot topic in US copyright law, and is likely to be decided explicitly by statute in the near-ish future. This being US copyright law, the issue is likely to be decided the wrong way--just one more reason to avoid proprietary commercial software. > Or that software is patentable? Nobody has mentioned software patents in this thread but you, as far as I have seen; perhaps bringing up a completely new topic in a "move this discussion somewhere else" message isn't wise.

Or that software is patentable? Are you making a "natural law" argument here, or what? Or are you just ignoring the real world and hoping it will go away?

There is a good perl script called qmHandle. You can find it in www.qmail.org (on the antispam section I think). With this script you can list the messages in the queue , verbose a message in the queue or delete a message on the queue. -----Original Message----- From: James Moore [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, November 23, 2000 5:04 AM To: Ezmlm List; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Help!

Hi all, I have some doubts about the qmail system. I've read the FAQ's and "Life with qmail" and others documentations, but I didn't get to figure out somethings. I'm a begginner in this subject and I count on you to help me. I installed the qmail package in a freeBSD box, but initially it doesn't working. So, I'd like to know if qmail system always needs additional programs to authenticate users and delivery messages like a checkpassword and safecat programs. Are there others programs to do them? I would like to figure out how checkpassword and safecat work. My doubts are! How does checkpassword catch the messages from the maildir mailbox and delivery to the message to qmail-pop3 or the client? How does safecat put in the messages into the maildir mailbox? I know that safecat catchs the messages from the standard input and write into the maildir mailbox, but how are this messages put in the std input and how does safecat catch them? Regards Cleiton.

I don't enjoy the ideia of installing servers app using ports facilities! Ports only works for userland apps! Since i always enjoy giving a personal touch on my servers (fine tunning on behalf of performance, for instance), i would install my server by hand!
Hello, Who here has implemented some type of server side filtering in which users somehow sort their incoming mail when all maildirs are owned by the same UID and users are not able to log onto the machine? I thought of using procmail or something, but I don't want users to be able to write files that will execute programs. Just simple filtering or forwarding. Also, the problem of allowing a user to put a file into the maildir with their name when they can't login to the machine and even if they did, the directory permissions are 700 vmail:vmail exists. Any ideas on how to go about doing this? Regards, Mike

I don't understand anythings!! Now I installed rblsmtpd in my directory /usr/local as a root as mentionned in DOC. Renseign /root/.bash_profile, /etc/profile and even the .bash_profile of any user on this directory. Try to send message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The response is always the same: "Uh-oh, your RBL block is not working!" Using rblsmtpd seems to be a verry difficult to me (no doc) on installation of this software. Can you helps to fixe this? PS: I use tcpserver

Hi folks, Pardon the simplicity on this one, but there's lots of references to smtp and inet (in the docs) without any explanation, or hints on how to troubleshoot... Basically, all local deliveries are fine using qmail-inject. When I try to do anyhting that uses smtp, I get "Connection refused". To add insult to injury, I cannot determine where or if qmail is actually logging any events, and cannot tell if the server(s) are running correctly. I've tried the check utilities (run without a response, ASSUMING everything went ok); I have tried the different TEST.* docs, and am fine until I get to the dreaded "telnet localhost 25" step which fails. I've installed tcpserver and everything looks ok there as well - but it appears that smtp just doesn't fire up. Here is the current line in inetd.conf: tcpserver -u 508 -g 507 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd & Before using tcpserver, it was: smtp stream tcp nowait qmaild /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env tcp-env \ /var/qmail/bin/qmailsmtpd ps reports all qmaild-* processes running , and AFAIK everything was setup ok. Does anyone know where I can start to find out what's busted? I really would like to use qmail - I've heard/read so much about it - but getting it to go appears more difficult than the others. Also, there's very little available reference on the configuration of qmail (other than the main site and a few docs with the distribution). Where are other good places to get info? Any help is greatly appreciated! mitchy

Your smtp daemon is not running. That's probably qmail-smtpd. > To add insult to injury, I cannot determine where or if qmail is actually > logging any events, and cannot tell if the server(s) are running correctly. Depends how you configured your logging, and what logger you're using. It could be /var/log/maillog, or /var/log/qmail, or one of many other choices. > I've installed tcpserver and everything looks ok there as well - but it > appears that smtp just doesn't fire up.

Your logs will say. Really. You just have to find them. > Also, there's very little available reference on the configuration of qmail > (other than the main site and a few docs with the distribution). Where are > other good places to get info? There are many good places. www.qmail.org points to all kinds of user- contributed documentation -- Dave Sill's "Life with qmail" describes a particular configuration of qmail and supporting utilities, and gives a step-by-step guide to obtaining that particular configuration. This is a particularly good setup for someone who isn't comfortable designing their own configuration.

Mitch, I am very confused by your questions? Truthfully None of it really make any sense.

SMTP is a TCP protocol Stands for simple messages transfer protocol. inet (I think you are referring INETD) inetd is a TCP wrapper..

For the past several months, I've been getting tons of double bounces resulting from spam sent to addresses that look like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] and on and on. I grepped through the messages I've sent to the qmail list, and it turns out that these all come from Message-ID headers. For example, the first in the list above was harvested from: Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> which was a message I sent to the list in May. I imagine a lot of other people have been seeing this. Has anyone come up with a clever way to deal with it? The only thing I can think of is to look for addresses of the form ^a[0-9]+ in my domain's .qmail-default file and send the mail into the void.

I have always a problem to get rblsmtpd works: My initial installation of qmail was based on RPMs (It work fine under ined or tcpserver). I installed rblsmtpd in /usr/lacal/ but all tests fail to stop spam (response of nelson-rbl-test is somthing like "Your RBL does not working", then a detailled message tell me that even he continue to send message they continue to reach my machine) . Now I trying to menage my installation as in Still's Live with Qmail (creating all directories, using qmail script, using tcpserver , etc.) on the old installation (RPMs). My Qmail continue to work as before in spite of some errors mentionned bellow (the anti-spam rblsmtpd does not works even with these changements, ). The following may help you to understand my problem: Result of /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail stop is: Stopping qmail: svscankill: (1857) - No such pid qmailsvc: warning: unable to control /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-send: file does not exist svc: warning: unable to control /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd: file does not exist loggingsvc: warning: unable to control /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-send/log: file does not exist svc: warning: unable to control /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/log: file does not exist --------------- Result of /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail start is : Starting qmail: svscan. env: svscan: No such file or directory -------------------------- Result of ps -ef | grep qmail is: root 589 1 0 21:46 ? 00:00:00 supervise /var/lock/qmail qmail- qmaill 590 1 0 21:46 ? 00:00:00 cyclog -s 1000000 /var/log/qmail qmails 591 589 0 21:46 ? 00:00:04 qmail-send root 605 1 0 21:46 ? 00:00:00 supervise /var/lock/qmail-smtpd qmaill 606 1 0 21:46 ? 00:00:00 accustamp qmaill 607 1 0 21:46 ? 00:00:00 cyclog -s 1000000 /var/log/qmail qmaild 608 605 0 21:46 ? 00:00:00 tcpserver -v -c40 -x /etc/tcprul root 622 1 0 21:46 ? 00:00:00 supervise /var/lock/qmail-pop3d qmaill 623 1 0 21:46 ? 00:00:00 accustamp qmaill 624 1 0 21:46 ? 00:00:00 cyclog -s 1000000 /var/log/qmail qmaill 652 591 0 21:46 ? 00:00:00 accustamp qmail root 653 591 0 21:46 ? 00:00:00 qmail-lspawn # Using qmail-local qmailr 654 591 0 21:46 ? 00:00:00 qmail-rspawn qmailq 655 591 0 21:46 ? 00:00:00 qmail-clean ------------------------- Result of ls -lR /var/qmail/supervise command is: /var/qmail/supervise: total 8 drwxrwxr-t 3 root root 4096 nov 23 19:16 qmail-send drwxrwxr-t 3 root root 4096 nov 23 20:45 qmail-smtpd /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-send: total 8 drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 4096 nov 23 21:14 log -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 30 nov 23 19:16 run /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-send/log: total 4 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 89 nov 23 19:37 run /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd: total 8 drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 4096 nov 23 19:36 log -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 337 nov 23 20:45 run /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/log: total 4 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 95 nov 23 19:36 run

S 07:01 0:00 grep qmail My problems are: 1. Why is it that when I telnet to the SMTP port, I get a connection closed by foreign host error message? 2. When I telnet to port 110, only my account (not root) is able to retrieve mails. The others are able to logon but unable to retrieve their mails. Also, all accounts I created after putting the Maildir to /etc/skel gets an -ERR authorization failed error message. I removed sendmail before installing the qmail RPMs.

There can be several Reasons. 1) check /etc/hosts.deny 2) check /etc/inetd.conf 3) there is something going wrong with your smtp daemon and it died It could be no Firewall Problem because that would block completely... > 2.

re SMTP, this happens even if I am telneting from the linux box's loopback address (127.0.0.1) re pop my problem is not the aliasing. my problem is that all the other users can't access their mail. i think qmail divided my users 3 different groups: 1. all users created when sendmail is still installed are able to retrieve their mails using qmail 2. users created after sendmail was removed can logon but can't see their messages (i.e. i sent them a test message but nothing is reflected in their Maildir) 3. users created after i put Maildir under /etc/skel gets an authorization failure error message when they log on to the pop server -----Original Message----- From: Michael Maier [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, November 24, 2000 4:55 PM To: Andrew Buenaventura Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: SMTP and PoP 3 problems Andrew Buenaventura wrote: > My problems are: > > 1.

Hi ... I use qmail & vpopmail and I was trying to setup a dot-qmail to forward emails to another account , at the same time retain a copy of message on maildir, but I did not succeed. Here is the content of my .qmail file. __________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] /var/vpopmail/domains/ipko.org/test/ <- "(I've tried to add ./Maildir/ as well)" ------------------------ When I send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] , I get an error reply from MAILER-DAEMON that "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" is not listed in control/locals ... bla bla bla ... As you see the second line in my .qmail containing my path to Maildir is treated as E-mail address and not as a local path. I have read the "man dot-qmail" manual , and tried everything , but the problem remains the same. If anybody can help me on that , I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance, Visar
