Hi,
now I have been using qmail for several months and I am quite satisfied. I
change my server HW and for this and some other reasons I reinstall my
System from scratch (FreeBSD 4.2).
I have been digging around in the qmail.org page to find out which
patches are needed for me. I was really overwhelmed and I do not really
know much more than before ;-).
So my question is: Which patches should one not miss.
I will make things as described in LWQ and I would appreciate it if I
could patch things during installation so that I do not have to apply
patches when the system is in use but I do not know which combination I
should use and (even more imortant): which combination works?
I know, depends on my needs ;-). Hmmm, I plan the following things:
POP3/SMTP (no imap, no qmtp)
smtp-after-pop and smtp-auth
tarpiting RBL
vmailmgr / omail-admin
omail
(if possible) POP3/smtp ssl optional
EZMLM
that's it ;-)
The load will be low.
Are there any hints which patches should be applied in general not
to be sorry some weeks later.
Thanks in andvance

I don't install any patches unless I know I need them. Only two of the
dozens of qmails I've installed have been patched:
- my list server has the big-concurrency patch, and
- a pop/imap/smtp server I installed for a customer required the
AUTH and STARTLS patches.
>POP3/SMTP (no imap, no qmtp)
No patches required.
>smtp-after-pop and smtp-auth
Requires AUTH patch (I recommend Krzysztof Dabrowski's patch) and
open-smtp add-on.
>tarpiting RBL
Probably requires a patch, but I've never done this.
>vmailmgr / omail-admin
>omail
>(if possible) POP3/smtp ssl optional

These are all add-ons unless I'm mistaken.

You might want to read Dave Sill's "Life with qmail". It describes how to set
up a particular kind of tcpserver-based qmail system. You could apply some
of his setup & configuration to your own system.
You can find pointers to the above at www.qmail.org.

Have you looked in /var/qmail/doc/FAQ, section 5?
Life with qmail (linked off the qmail.org page) is also very good.

The dates are in TAI64N format. Pipe the log through `tai64nlocal` to convert
them to human-readable format.

I don't actually use Dave Sill's setup, but I would guess that in your
qmail rc/startup script, you have put single quotes where there should be
backticks (i.e. "`") -- therefore, instead of using the _contents_ of
/var/qmail/control/defaultdelivery for the default delivery argument to
qmail-start, you're using that garbage above.

Sorry to hear that.

That's normal.

That means something is already listening to port 25, e.g., sendmail,
inetd, or another tcpserver. Did you disable your previous mailer?
What happens when you do:
telnet 0 25

Nothing. That's the format the timestamps use. Use tai64nlocal to
convert them to local time.

That's good, right?

Oops, you botch the /var/qmail/rc. You have:
qmail-start "'cat /var/qmail/control/defaultdelivery'"
but you should have:
qmail-start "`cat /var/qmail/control/defaultdelivery`"
(Note: ` vs ')
I recommend copying and pasting the scripts, rather than typing them
in by hand. Unless you're in Florida, in which case, entering manually
is more accurate.

can I get them stored 'human-readable'?
my /var/log/qmail is filling up with:
2000-11-27 20:29:02.459841500
PATH=/var/qmail/bin:/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
2000-11-27 20:29:02.499436500
PATH=/var/qmail/bin:/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
2000-11-27 20:29:02.605017500
PATH=/var/qmail/bin:/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
2000-11-27 20:29:02.660847500
PATH=/var/qmail/bin:/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
...
why?
thanks

ROTFLOL!!! This has got to be one of the best Florida jokes I have
seen. :-)

Not easily. However, it's simple to do
`tai64nlocal </path/to/log/current | less` to read the logs with human-readable
timestamps. Or set up a little shellscript to do just this.

Not sure. You appear to be echoing $PATH everytime some frequent operation
occurs. Perhaps it is another artifact of incorrectly copying Dave Sill's
rc script.

got it working - I had commented out the old qmail line with the " and ' in
made a new one using:
qmail-start ./Mailbox
then it got onfused by the commenting out part way through a command - I
presume the \ mean that the command continues on the nex line?
many thanks

Oh my god, they killed kenney....
Obviously you started svscan in /, so LOTS of useless supervises around.
check you startup-scripts for svscan and make sure that there is exactly (!)
1 call, 'svscan /service &', and _nothing_ else. Then reboot. Much esier to
kill tons of supervise and svcscan processes...
You _could_ have seen that while looking on supervise opt, supervise usr,
supervise var and so son, couldn't you?

thats what I thought it was, and it was
an end of line had crept into the middle of the line calling svscan in
inittab
I still have two lines:
root 1755 0.5 0.5 1088 324 ? S 02:05 0:00 supervise
supervise
root 4167 0.0 0.5 1088 324 ? R 02:05 0:00 supervise
supervise
why not one but hopefully thats fine

I need reason for this situation...
We are connected to our Internet Provider by Wave lan....
We have one router ( Linux ) with static IP adress 1.1.1.1. This router is
connected to our local net and doing masquerade.
On this router is running Qmail. I need that this router forward every mail
for domain.sk to server in our local net...
In FAQs i find that i can use smtproutes but there is writed that i must
disable smtp in inetd.conf. I think that is not correct.
How can router receive mail for forward, if hesn't able to receive mail from
outside.... Can you anyone help me ????
Thanks

Hallo all,
I like to forward a Address in the form [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a .qmail
File. So I created the file .qmail-j:g: but it doesn´t work. Message
comes back with "Sorry no mailbox here by that name" What went
wrong? How can I handle that? I´m using qmail 1.03 and vpopmail 4.9.4

The CONTENTS of the .qmail file should be the address to which you
want to forward mail and nothing else (assuming you aren't already
using a .qmail file for something else).
The NAME of the .qmail file is just that: .qmail
For example, if I have an account [EMAIL PROTECTED] and want all mail
delivered to [EMAIL PROTECTED] auto-forwarded to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I would
create a .qmail file in user's Home Directory called .qmail, the
contents of which is "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" on a single line (no quotes).

^^^ <--- Off-line unless someone knows how to get camserv to
compile under RedHat 7... *sigh* :-(
Hello!
I'm using qmail, VMailMgr, Courier-IMAP and PHP on my RedHat 7.0 box. The system is
based on virtual user accounts, with Maildir.
Are there any known issues with attachments/parts using this combination? The reason I
ask is that I have a PHP-script that open up a mailbox and read a message, but the
attachments can not be identified correctly, at least not in the same way they could
before (before I installed vmailmgr or did something else I've forgot). The same
script works fine on another server using other mail-stuff.
For example, $part->disposition never seem to contain anything, and in particular it
doesn't contain "ATTACHMENT" as it's supposed to do.
Pine and other mail readers can still see all the attachments correctly, so I guess it
after all _IS_ something wrong with my script but since it works on other servers it's
weird that it is not on this...
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
how use I masquarading with qmail. I want send mail from our qmail-server
(placed in the dmz) to an MS Exchangeserver in our lan.
Our lan uses not routable IPadresses (192.168.x.x).

it's a common (and, btw., wise) setup, to hide exchangeservers from the
internet, using a qmail box as mailhub.
you may A: set up rules on your firewall, permitting non masqueraded
traffic between your qmail-server and your exchangeserver
or B: set up port forwarding on your firewall, for port 25 of your
exchangeserver
and do not forget some routing on the gateway or firewall
pointing to your exchangeserver
last you might want to put routing entries into
~/qmail/control/smtproutes if routing for whole domains is
what you want to do...

Dear list,
Does anyone know wht the "D" stands for under /var/qmail/queue/local??
My problem is that let say a local recipient is [EMAIL PROTECTED] So inside the queue,
it should have an info/1/1, local/1/1, and the mess/1/1.
However the local/1/1 state the following strange pattern:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@machine_name.com
This drive my crazy, does anyone experience such strange queue or anything I've done
wrong?
Your help is highly appreciated.
(p.s. Pls reply to this message since I'm not in the list)
thanks and regards,
Eric

qmail-queue creates the local and remote recipient envelope addresses in
/var/qmail/queue/local/0..23/nnnnn
/var/qmail/queue/remote/0..23/nnnnn
The format of these files is:
Tto@someuser\0Tto@someotheruser\0Tyet@anotheruser\0\0
when qmail-send successfully delivers one of these messages, it marks
the relevant recipent as delivered by replacing the 'T' with a 'D'.
So, if the messages had been successfully sent to both
to@someuser and yet@anotheruser, but not to to@someotheruser, the file
would look like:
Dto@someuser\0Tto@someotheruser\0Dyet@anotheruser\0\0
So, in your case, as the file is in the local part of the queue I can only
assume that both domain.com and machine_name.com are both local delivery
domains and that the first recipient has been delivered successfully,
but the second recipient has been deferred or delivery has not been
attempted yet.
There are many reasons for the deferral. Obvious reasons include group
and/or other write permissions on the user's home directory and/or
.qmail file. Whatever the reason, they'll be mentioned in the qmail
logs.
What do the logs say (TM)?

Please don't copy irrelevant information in your reply.
Please use a mail reader that wraps lines at less than 80 characters
(otherwise it's very hard to read your replies).
Also, please reply to the list too - that way you'll have lots more
people to examine your problem and hence a better chance of seeing a
solution.

Please don't sanitise your logs. We need to see the timestamps and

What is your default delivery mechanism (ie what are the arguments
after qmail-start in your startup script?
Does this user have a .qmail file, and if so what does it look like.

no, actually when I do /var/qmail/bin/qmail-qread:
27 Nov 2000 14:10:48 GMT #82186 1404 <sender>
done local [EMAIL PROTECTED]
local [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The original mail should be *ONLY* send to user, so Unknown_user is not suppose to be
in my user list.
thanks and regards,
Eric

This looks suspiciously like your weird smtpd program is trying to
also deliver to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you can fix the smtpd
program (ie make it qmail-smtpd) then all should be well.

Dear list,
I had a user named eric that doesn't receive email. Can anyone give me some
suggestion??
Inside /var/qmail/control/locals, I had my_domain.com as localhost.
and inside /var/qmail/users/assign file, I had:
=eric:eric:uid:gid:/home/eric:-::
and the .qmail file in my home directory is:
/home/eric/Mailbox
and Mailbox was symlink to /var/spool/mail/eric which has permission 600
Any help is highly appreciated.
(ps. please reply to this email)
thanks and regards,

In the future, please don't obfusate your domain names. Post the real
domains.

What does `ls -l /var/spool/mail /var/spool/mail/eric` show?
Probably eric doesn't actually own this mbox file. qmail won't deliver to
this then.

That doesn't prove it is the process listening on port 25. There is NO
occurrence of the string "550" or "no such user" in the qmail source.
qmail-smtpd doesn't know (or care) about users.
How are you starting qmail-smtpd (show us the script).

I'm using svscan (daemontool 0.70) to look after my qmail. The startup script for
qmail-smtpd as shown below:
#!/bin/sh
# This is the run file for supervise to execute qmail-smtpd.
QMAILHOME=/var/qmail
USERID=`id -u qmaild`
GROUPID=`id -g qmaild`
COMMAND=qmail-smtpd
PORT=smtp
CONCURRENT=70
BYTESIZE=2000000
SOFTLIMIT=/usr/local/bin/softlimit TCPSERVER=/usr/local/bin/tcpserver
exec $SOFTLIMIT -m $BYTESIZE \
$TCPSERVER -vHR -c$CONCURRENT -P \

It looks OK.
Do the following
telnet localhost 25
In another window, run
ps auxww | grep smtpd
That will show which smtpd daemon is running.

It says it's qmail-smtpd, and it behaves like qmail-smtpd, but it
ain't. Try recompiling qmail-smtpd and see if that changes things.
What patches, if any, are you using?

"If you kill all your unhappy customers, you'll only have happy ones left"
I have several scripts that run and mail the output to root for analyses.
These scripts were using a line such as:
cron_job | mail -s "Log file output" root
I think I must have missed something in the docs, since making the change
to tcpserver, qmail and Maildir from postfix I know get none of these
mailings and when run from the command line I receive these errors:
send-mail: fatal: open /etc/postfix/main.cf: No such file or directory
I read the docs that come with qmail and tried the mailx command on my
system, as suggested by the docs, but I receive the same. Any help would
be great.

mail is obviously trying to call a postfix executable (or it might be
a postfix executable itself. Change the cron jobs to:
cron_job | /var/qmail/bin/mailsubj "Log file output" root

Here's what I saw when I replied to your first message:
Hi. This is the qmail-send program at pitbull-productions.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.

I would infer that, when cron runs, the first program named 'mail'
in your path, is the postfix-related front-end.

Did anyone compile qmail-mrtg-1.0 from Sean ?
where can i get the /var/log/qmail/qmail-send/current -> how can i generate
this file so the qmail-mrtg program can read it ?
I used Sean Truman qmailmrtg script and seems like in qmail-mrtg.c had some
problem in strncmp should be strcmp.
Thanks in Advance

you need to use mutlilog from daemontools.
ftp://ftp.innominate.org/pub/pape/djb/daemontools-0.70-man.tar.gz
it will be able to generate those log files for qmail-mrtg
to use.

You're right. Looking at the code, there is no reason for the strncmp
calls and chonging them to strcmp does make it work. Overall, you may
find it roll your own and make your own mrtg monitoring scripts as
there are some holes in qmail-mrtg that make it a bit inaccurate on
busy sites.

Hello everybody,
due to a bug in the logging E-mails with an originator having MAIL FROM:
with invalid MX-Record, SPAMCONTROL 1.4.0 may eventually yield a
qmail-smtpd crash (segmentation fault) depending on your logging scheme.
The bug was already introduced in version 1.1.0 but became apparent just now.
For SPAMCONTROL users of version 1.4.0: There is must to upgrade to version
1.4.1!
For SPAMCONTROL users applying version 1.3.0 and earlier: Please upgrade to
1.3.1 although the bug does not harm your system.
There is an enhanced version of SPAMCONTROL available (1.4.2) which does a
FAST EXIT of qmail-smtpd after an address was successfully matched against
those in the bad* control files.
Thanks to Charles Warwick and Antonio Moragues who reported the bug.
cheers.

Hi,
is there a package out there which produces qmail HTML-statistics from
the logfiles? I have had a look at qmailmrtg but it does not semm to be
what I am looking for.
I have several virtual mail-domains and the most importent number I need
is the complete traffic per virtual domain per month which passed my mailserver.
Furthermore it would be great to have some statistics like amount per
user, etc.
Something similar to webalizer but not for a websserver but for qmail.
thanks in advance
Clemens
Hi..

Your domain is "mail.com", and you want a message addressed to "user" to go
to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", correct? If so, you need to create a "defaultdomain"
and/or a "defaulthost" file in your control directory (or at the very least
make sure you have the "me" file set correctly).
See the qmail-control and qmail-inject man pages for more info.

While the pointer to the docs is right, the right control file would be

Hi,
The problem we are having maybe an easy fix I
am not sure though. We have qmail-1.03 running on FreeBSD 4+
using checkpassword and this obviously means Maildir type mail
boxes. The problem is that when we get large amounts
of mail, say more than 2000 messages, something
bombs out and it will no longer authorise a pop user ie "The server
has returned an error code indicating that the password/usrname
that you supplied is incorrect". It works for all the accounts that
only have small amounts of mail in the Maildir.
Thanks

Are you sure the client is not just timing out due to qmail-pop3d taking
a long time to scan the Maildir?
Have you tried to log into your pop server manually with telnet? What
do you see?

How do I configure qmail to *NOT* use ORBS.org for spam filtering? I
tried to remove the line in the startup scripts relating to ORBS, and
the SMTP server refuses to run without it. I don't want to start a
flame war, but this outfit (ORBS) is blocking IP addresses unnecessarily
- please read the following that I received from Road Runner....... A rr
user tried to send email to a domain that I host and it bounced because
of ORBS and the 'HISTORY' outlined here. I called Mark Herrick today
and talked to him directly on the phone. This is how I found out that
qmail does this (uses ORBS) by default. I *DO NOT* want my mail server
using this outfit to filter spam......Mark had to use a hotmail address
to contact me because of this 'filter' that ORBS has on their server.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Subject: jerland.com blocking rr.com/mediaone.net via ORBS

From: "W. Mark Herrick" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hello,
We are currently experiencing problems delivering email to jerland.com.
This
is due to a manual block from the ORBS system of which jerland.com
subscribes. Although we have a thorough anti-SPAM policy and properly
address these issues, Road Runner has been manually added to the ORBS
list
due to a request we made to the ORBS administrators. (see HISTORY) With
analysis and discussions with other providers, we believe that the
impact of
the ORBS block is very minimal and easily corrected on a case-by-case
basis.
We are currently only hearing 1 or 2 reports per week from our entire
customer base. We will take the information provided and work with each
provider to correct it with them directly.
I can assure you that the IP address that ORBS is currently blocking is
in
no way an open relay, and that it is being blocked solely due to ORBS'
testing servers being refused at our border routers. Road Runner takes
the
issue of open relay servers very seriously, and, in addition to
immediately
closing them as they are detected, performs proactive relay detection
checks
on its own network. Likewise, Road Runner also takes the issue of
unauthorized probes very seriously, and as such has taken steps to
minimize
potential abuse from outside sources. Many other major Internet Service
providers, such as Above.net, have taken this stance along with us. You
may
wish to take a look at http://www.orbs.org/hallofshame.html to see who
else
is "spite listed" by the ORBS project.
ORBS is currently blocking Road Runner IP Addresses with a DNS "A"
record of
127.0.0.4 - These are, according to the ORBS web site, considered
"untestable netblock entries" (see HISTORY). ORBS has, however, recently
made available a number of different "zones" that providers can
currently
utilize to block unwanted SPAM mail from open relay sources, but that
will
not block those "untestable netblock entries" sites such as Road Runner,
Above.Net, and Carnegie Mellon University.
More information regarding these "zones" can be found at
http://www.orbs.org/usingindex.html - All that is necessary to make this
change is to modify your mail server to query the ORBS database at
"outputs.orbs.org" instead of "relays.orbs.org". This will NOT affect
the
amount of SPAM that your servers block, only the amount of false
positives
that are affecting our combined users.
I would sincerely hope that you reconsider and/or restructure your use
of
the ORBS project. I can be directly reached at 703-345-2477 if you wish
to
discuss this further.

<[EMAIL PROTECTED]><[EMAIL PROTECTED]><[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
HISTORY:
Road Runner customers and Affiliates initially contacted us with a
security
issue. They were concerned with their privacy and security when an
unknown
entity (to them) began scanning them without permission. We initially
tried
to address this case by case and later contacted the ORBS administrators
and
requested this unwelcome scanning terminated. This is analogous to
someone
requesting they be removed from a list that they did not subscribe to.
With
this request, all Road Runner IP space was unexpectedly added to the
ORBS
list with a public statement on the ORBS WWW site, as well as the bounce
message which our subscriber has received. As scanning continued against
our
repeated requests, the individual ORBS scanning hosts were filtered out
of
our network.
Although we strongly believe in stopping SPAM on the Internet, as well
as
respect the initial work and charter ORBS has been under in the past, we
have serious concerns at the current methods and actions that are taking
place:
e.g.
- Scanning of private networks without permission from targets
- No REMOVE capability from the ORBS scanner
- When someone tries to stop or block the ORBS scans, they are blocked
by
ORBS.
- No warning, as well as false public statements about the individuals
scanned or their provider. THAT IS: If you have a relay (known, or
unknown
to you) you are called a SPAM supporter publicly without any warning to
correct it before ORBS adds you.
- Misinformation on ORBS' own web site
(http://www.orbs.org/whatisthis.html)
"What is ORBS? The short answer: ORBS is a validated database of open
mail
relays and open mail relay output points, accessable via DNS lookup."
- The addition of Road Runner hosts to a database which are not listed
via
their normal web lookup at http://www.orbs.org/verify_1.html - this is
deceptive to most end users.
Road Runner believes strongly in the fight against SPAM. We have
address it
with strong policies, enforcement and our own relay detection methods.
We
will continue this effort, work together with other providers and the
Internet community (including ORBS) to make a difference. However, we
reserve the right to assess the methods used, by whom and determine the
best
way to accomplish the desired results for our business.

*************************
I don't know what sort of qmail install you are running but qmail does run
without ORBS. In fact the default qmail does not have any ORBS testing. What
must have happened is that someone specifically added the ORBS test on
your server.
You need to tell us more about your system. Specifically the startup
script for qmail-smtpd. If it's done in the usual manner, then it's
a one line change.

There's no such thing as "the" line in the startup script relating to ORBS, and
nobody has any idea what your particular startup line looked like before or
what it looks like now.
Why don't you tell us?

OK. I assumed that all installations of qmail used this. I'm running a
Corel Server Version (Debian) Linux box and qmail 1.03 came with the
distribution. This is a fresh install and the script has not been
modified. The startup script is /etc/init.d/qmail Here's a copy of
the startup script for your review.

Great. Yet more Frankinmail...
Change this line:
rblsmtpd -rrelays.orbs.org /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1 | setuser
to:
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1 | setuser
then restart.

Two options: replace "-rrelays.orbs.org" with "-routputs.orbs.org" or
delete "rblsmtpd -rrelays.orbs.org" from the line, leaving the rest
intact.
The first option would continue to give you the benefit of spam
filtering without blocking the 'manual list' and the second option would
remove RBL filtering entirely.

Sorry Chris,
how braindead are you? Is it really _so_ hard to see where orbs is used here?
You should have read a least the documentation before wasting bandwidth and

A standard settings presented in /var/qmail/boot does not provide

format rc file, shall all be OK.
I has gone more wait and I had added to smtp settings on tcpserver
lines
orbs.relay.nl:deny
manawatu.co.nz:deny
thus I have rejected all proofs of tests, if ORBS would perform

Hi,
I followed PaulGregg doc, and have setup single UID mail system.
The only problem is , the checkpoppasswd log showing
"checkpoppasswd: POP3 connect from unknown@ []"
"checkpoppasswd: pop3checkpasswd: FAILED: qazaka - no such user from
unknown@"
Supposely, the log should show the IP, not "unknown".
How can i solve it?
Thanks.

What is the equivalent of the mailq command? Is it qmail-queue? And if so
can I just drop it in place of mailq in my scripts?

It's qmail-qread. On my systems I symlink /usr/bin/mailq to
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-qread.

/var/qmail/bin/qmail-qread
You need root privileges (or qmailq really) to run it.
It's output format is VERY different from mailq.

Which is why some people run it as a network service. Something like
this does the trick:
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -H -R -u1008 -g1003 127.0.0.1 81
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-qread
Where 1008 is the uid of qmails and 1003 is the group id of qmail.
Then create a mailq command thusly:
cat <<EOD >/bin/mailq
#! /bin/sh
/usr/local/bin/tcpclient 127.0.0.1 801 sh -c 'exec /bin/cat -v <&6'
EOD
chmod a=rx /bin/mailq
By binding to 127. only local users can access the port. And they all get
access without needing any special permissions.
Regards.

I believe I'm no more braindead than you are. At least I have the
common courtesy to not post a derogatory statement like this on the
list, nor would I even send a private email to anyone containing a
statement like this. Especially when the subject originated on a list
designed as a support forum and was relating to a question fielded to
that forum.
> Is it really _so_ hard to see where orbs is used here?
No. It is not hard to see where it is used here. If you had read my
original post you would have read that I removed this line and qmail
refused to run. I didn't realize that the part in the line after orbs
was required to be there.
> You should have read a least the documentation before wasting bandwidth and

I did read the documentation, but this was something I could not find
any documentation on, or else I didn't know where to look. I found all
sorts of documentation on qmail configuration, but nothing on it's
startup scripts. I happen to be new to the Linux OS, and new to qmail,
so please excuse my ignorance.
Is this list not a forum to ask questions and borrow on the collective
knowledge of a large group of experienced qmail users? When I talked to
Mark Herrick today, he told me that qmail typically has this entry in
the startup script, but he didn't know where to find it (the script).
He told me that removing the entry would fix the problem. Well, I found
the script, removed the entry, and it fixed it all right - by disabling
the server. So I put the entry back in so the server would run, and
started looking for information or documentation on why qmail would have
this in it in the first place. I couldn't find very much, so I figured
a simple question to the list would get a helpful answer, which it did.
I'm very grateful to the posters who took the time to answer my very
stupid, 'braindead' question.
I can assure you that I did not intend to waste yours or anybody else's
time, nor did I intend to waste list bandwidth.
And speaking of wasting bandwidth, why do you (and many others) reply to
list messages and the reply goes to both the list and to the original
poster's private email address? Is it so hard to edit the original
poster's address out of the 'To:' headers after clicking your
'Reply-All' button? Excuse me......I'm just a 'braindead' female, but
it seems that this shouldn't be so hard to do....... I do not need two
copies of the same message.......

Granted, it is pretty rude to send derogatory statements to the
list---he/she was probably just having a bad day. Maybe a good review
of RFC 1855 would be in order. :-)

I for one did not think it was a waste of bandwidth, however, I must
admit I did think it quite a trivial question---but, since you are new
to qmail and linux and possibly the whole *NIX mentality I'm sure you
have a handful. Did you suddenly inherit someone else's job?

Some people actually don't mind receiving two copies---I for one do
not. Some mailing lists tend to be slow and if I am in a hurry I
appreciate the quick delivery of the message that was sent directly to
my mailbox. That is one of the reasons to use filters when
participating on mailing lists. Try setting
mail-followup-to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
in your mail headers when posting to this list if you don't want a
duplicate copy. A few of the mailers on this list support it and the
"reply-to-all" will usually do the Right Thing(tm). (BTW, I'm risking
getting flamed for mentioning this header...)

Oh, I most certainly did. Ask me anything you want to know about WIN NT

There are probably lots of clever ways to answer that question, and
I'm not even sure just what you are asking, but I'll start by
providing the most basic possible answer: Secrets & Lies is a book by
Bruce Schneier:
http://www1.fatbrain.com/asp/bookinfo/bookinfo.asp?theisbn=0471253111&vm=
It was discussed on this list because people were discussing just how
secure qmail really is, in particular with regards to Schneier's
recommendation of security audits.
Sorry if you were asking something else.

Hi !
I know this is another "newbie" question, but
I still need help. I have now succesfully setup qmail, pop3 and smtp (both from
qmail). Qmail has it's own logs, but I would also like that other two would be
making logs. In FAQ of qmail is sample how to do this with snmp, but if I start
it with that command line (see down), FreeBSD produces error, saying "Ambiguous
output redirect." Please help me here. And I also need working commandline for
POP3 server. Are there any scripts available that could browse wrror log and
then produce just the error messages from it (to remove some of unecessary
lines).
Ok problem number two is getmail (fetchmail
alterantive for Maildir). Does anybody use this, is it reliable, are there any
problems with it.
Thanks for you answer and for your patience with my
silly questions.

I only
comment the second question:
I am
using getmail which get mails from a pop3 account. I am happy with that
and I haven't got the wrong mail from it. However, you better get a larger
pop3 account if you really want to implement this.

Simply grab http://pobox.com/~tu/qmail-conf.html and *read* the docs. It'll
leave you with running services including the logging you want.

Hi ALL,
Is it possible to simulate pop3 conections to a mail server and
authenticate the user and tell that user that he has no mail ??
The reasoning behind this is I want a temp backup server that can take
the pop3 strain while I make some modifications to the main mail server
??
ANY Ideas ??
Thanks all,
Tonino

You could try to convince pine not to talk smtp to your server, but just
use the /usr/sbin/sendmail interface to qmail-inject.

Hi,
I'm using strictely "Live With Qmail" instructions. When I
stop and run qmail script (in /etc/rc.d/inet.d/), I got the
following error:
"supervise:fatal:unable to start qmail-smptd/run: exec

Can you help me to fixe this error?
PS: I use Linux RedHat6.2, desactivating all inetd.conf
line in order to use smtpd, pop3 over tcpserver. In qmail
script I adding only entry for smtp and pop3as mentionned
in LWQ.
Thanks
