Boz,
This is a FAQ - three options:
- Inform the sysadmin of the offending remote machine that it's broken
- Use fixcrio
- Edit qmail-smtpd to return a permanent rather than a temporary
error on receiving a bare-LF.
Search the archive for more detail on any of the above.
cheers,
Andrew.

Interesting.
I couldn't check the return from my mailer, since it didn't provide one
(VERY basic utility). Upgrading to a new version of the mailer corrects the
problem, however.
Now, is there any way to resolve the stray-LF problem, short of upgrading
all the workstations on my network?
Thanks.

I have
also encountered this, sending some stationaries (html formatted mail) with
attachments from express to sendmail (and only sendmail) servers -
this happends not only from qmail - i tried to send from other servers too with
the same result. anybody knows if this can be fixed from the sending server side
(qmail in this case), so complicated mime-structured mail would be sent
successfully to sendmail ?

Hello,
I've recently set up a server on Linux using qmail
1.03. Several =
different users here received bounces like this one
when sending mail:
> Hi. This is the qmail-send program at

Most attachments are going through fine, and the same
users were able to =
send attachments to other recipients. The
attachments that had this =
trouble ranged in size from a 128kb .DOC file,
to a 4mb .EPS file. =20
Although not a major problem -- yet -- I'd like
to know if there is some =
configuration issue on my end that will prevent
this. All the users who =
had this trouble are using Outlook Express
5.
Please let me know if there is any more info I should
supply.
Thanks,
John

I am sending email from inside a firewall. When qmail sends mail the
Return Path: on the envelope is my hostname inside my network which is
not valid outside this network. This causes some site to bounce the email
back to me.
My organization have five units. Each unit have a local qmail server. When a
unit send mail to another unit the return path may be the local domain
(xxx.jamef). When a unit send mail to outside of organization then domain may be
the organization domain (jamef.com.br).
how do I to change the return path to all message send outside in my firewall,
if I have a qmail in my firewall.

Set up your MUA so that it creates a proper envelope sender in the first place.
If qmail-inject is called with no special arguments, it will use any existing
Return-Path: header as the envelope sender. If injecting through qmail-smtpd,
the envelope sender supplied by your MUA is what is used by qmail.
If you want to arbitrarily rewrite headers of mail injected via SMTP, look
at using the "@fixme" option in Dan's qmail FAQ.

Hmm. "Life with qmail" is not so incomplete that the installation
instructions don't result in a working qmail. If yours didn't work,
something was not done exactly right.

That's neither necessary nor recommended with an LWQ installation.

You don't...if you've followed the instructions carefully.

That's because the boot script doesn't start everything that "qmail
start" does.

Which four lines are you referring to? What's your point?

There's nothing to tricky about running POP3 and IMAP together. You
just have to install an IMAP daemon that uses the same mailbox format
and location as your POP3 daemon. LWQ has pointers to some IMAP
daemons, but if you're using qmail-pop3d, you probably want to use
courier-imap.

This isn't actually a qmail issue, so you may not get an answer here. Try
on one of Bruce Guenter's mailing lists, which are specifically for his
software. The one you want is probably [EMAIL PROTECTED] IIRC. Check
the relay-ctrl web page for the subscription address:
http://em.ca/~bruceg/relay-ctrl/

Please explain a little more clearly. What trailing spaces? What rejected
mail? Are you referring perhaps to the bare linefeed problem?
The following will help us actually determine what the problem is:
-what error message(s) you are getting, and from where
-relevant log entries from your qmail logs
-sample headers of mail which is rejected, if that is the problem
-the output of qmail-showctl is in most cases helpful
-how you installed qmail, and what patches, if any, are in use

I see this occasionally. The problem ist that some idiotic mailprograms
don't remove " " or even a "\n" at the end of an email address.
(The "\n" probably happens when the user inputs the address in a
GUI window and "incorrectly" presses <enter>).
These emails are seen by qmail-smtpd as
RCPT TO: <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >
or
MAIL FROM: <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >
and rejected.
And to answer the question:
- no, I don't know of any patch, but it shouldn't be hard to modify
qmail-smtpd if you really think you have to.
- I personally wouldn't do it. The client is broken.

If I can't get this solved I might have to go back to sendmail for a while.

Hi,
I successfully installed qmail on Solaris 5.8 by following Dave Sill's
web-page. Now, I'd like to create an alias to specific users. I created
a file (assign) on /var/qmail/users/. What are the following
instructions?

Examine
man -M /var/qmail/man qmail-users
It gives detailed instructions of the format of the assign file. Two
important things to remember
1) the file MUST end with a single dot on a line by itself
2) you MUST run /var/qmail/bin/qmail-newu for your changes to take effect

qmail-smtpd gets that information from environment variables set up by
tcpserver (or tcp-env). If you clear those environment variables before
qmail-smtpd gets run, it'll log blank/meaningless values.
You can do this with a tcprules file if running from tcpserver. Set up so
your internal addresses have something like the following. Note I've also
added the RELAYCLIENT variable, to allow relaying from the internal addresses:
192.168.1.:allow,TCPREMOTEIP="",TCPREMOTEHOST="",TCPREMOTEINFO="",RELAYCLIENT=""
:allow
Of course you'll need to compile this rules file into a cdb for tcpserver.

Sorry, one cannot change the info about the HELO host via environment
variables.
from qmail-smtpd.c:
fakehelo = case_diffs(remotehost,helohost.s) ? helohost.s : 0;
[ ... ]
received(&qqt,"SMTP",local,remoteip,remotehost,remoteinfo,fakehelo);
Depending how "internal" is defined adding the line
if (relayclient) fakehelo=0;
as the last line in dohelo() (in qmail-smtpd.c) might do the trick.
Another solution is to sync the DNS entries with what the client/server
thinks he is, as the HELO info is only display for hosts where the
HELO host differs from what one get via DNS.

This time you are mistaken :) qmail-smtpd calls qmail-queue. See the
INTERNALS file that is shipped with the source.

According to DJB's schematics, qmail-smtpd calls qmail-queue directly.

You're right, it would. I was just being a tad anal. :)
Also, to be completely fair, you provided a solution that's exactly what I
asked for. Mark Delany's solution will still result in the message being
accepted and then bounced, but in this case the bounce will have a more
accurate explanation about why it was bounced. That's good enough for me.
Again, thanks for the help!

Time zones. I have a customer in India. If I stay up late enough,
the very end of my waking hours overlaps with their business day.
Plus, if you're needed on site, being on the same continent is a
help. It's a twenty-hour trip to India for me.
Plus there's jet lag. I did some qmail training the first day I got
there, after two missed flights and a four hour layover in Dubai.
About three or four times I woke myself up with the sound of my own
voice. Very strange to wake up talking, and to realize that you have
NO IDEA what you should say next. :)

It's 24 hours from Sydney to Ottawa :) And then there is the 15 or 16 hours
timezone difference.

Hello,
I want to know is possible that users can change their
password. I'm using MUA's (Netscape, Outlouk).
Actually users have not choice to change password given by
system.
Thanks

Not really a qmail question. If you're dealing with virtual domains/users,
some of the virtual domain packages have CGIs or whatnot which allow the
user to change their POP3/IMAP password.
If you're dealing with system accounts which don't need shell access but you
want the users to be able to change their passwords, make their shell
in /etc/passwd be /usr/bin/passwd -- then they can telnet in to the mail
server and change their password. Note of course that in this case, their
passwords are being sent in cleartext, just like with POP3.

Hi all,
what is the difference between .../qmail/alias and .../qmail/users ?
Thanks in advance.

qmail delivers mail as follows:
is the domain portion of the address a local or virtualdomain
no -> deliver remotely
yes -> deliver locally
does the user portion of the address have an entry in
/var/qmail/users/cdb (as built from
/var/qmail/users/assign)
yes -> deliver mail according to the .qmail file
referenced by the cdb entry
no -> does the user portion of the address match a
user according to getpwnam()
yes -> deliver the mail to that user
no -> is there a corresponding .qmail-user file
in /var/qmail/alias
yes -> deliver the mail according to the
delivery instructions in that file
no -> bounce the message.
This is a little simplified as it doesn't describe user-ext style
addresses, but it gives you a good idea of the flow. Have a look at
the qmail pictures which should be in /var/qmail/doc. They give a
better description of each type of delivery. Also see the qmail-users
man page.

You're right, I'm not. Right now all sorts of exotic quota ideas are being
bandied about the office: x number of messages sent/received in y time,
different numbers for different senders and recipients, and on and on. Any
of these ideas that gets turned into a requirement will need a custom
delivery instruction to go with it, if it's not already covered by programs
like Sam Varshavshik's deliverquota.

I think that answers my question. I'll study those man pages a little more

Maybe we ought to ask John Levine (being a qmail guy himself) if he
can add blinking text when it fails on the user%foo.com@[....] test,
where the test always stops with vanilla qmail:
"If you are a qmail luser, CLICK HERE." .. and a web page that
briefly tells the luser what's going on.

"If you kill all your unhappy customers, you'll only have happy ones left"
Please pardon what is likely a really dumb
question...I'm a true newbie.
In installing qmail, I'm told to set up
~alias/.postmaster, etc., etc. Only problem is, I
don't quite understand the alias concept as it relates
to mail. I understand the idea of an alias for a
directory name...but mail? Is there some standard
directory I'm pointing to with this alias, or some
other standard concept behind it?
Thanks for any help.

Simplified:
In qmail, alias is a system user account. qmail, when delivering mail to
a local user, will first check ~username for validity, .qmail file(s), etc.
If that fails, it will then check ~alias/.qmail-username(-default, etc).
Therefore ~alias/.qmail-root is a .qmail file (`man dot-qmail`) which
controls delivery of mail to "root@localdomain".
A dot mail file (read the man page referenced above) consists of comments,
blank lines, and delivery instructions. A delivery instruction can be
one of several things:
-instruction to deliver to a Maildir. Starts with . or / and ends with /.
./path/to/Maildir/
-instruction to deliver to an mbox file. Starts with . or / and does not
end with /.
./path/to/mbox
-instruction to deliver to a program. Starts with |; `man qmail-command` for
details.
|/path/to/my/script
-forwarding instructions. Either starts with &, or doesn't fit one of the
above.

I just answered this one (in a slightly different context). See
message 59749.

"If you kill all your unhappy customers, you'll only have happy ones left"
Hi,
my config is: FreeBSD 4.2, qmail 1.03, smtp-auth.
my problem: I do not want my users to use a different "From-domain".
Some people use their businnes-account for (heavy-traffic) private mail
exchange.
They simply replace their "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" with
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" in their private Mailprogs.
smtp-auth makes it easy for them because they have a valid login.
So is there any possibility to reject any mail which does not contain my
local domain either as part of the sender adress or as part of the
recipient adress?
thanks for your hints

Your qmail logs will say exactly why messages are not being delivered to
them. Post the relevant entries from your logs, and we can help you.

As Charles said: look at the logs. That's what they are for.
You will probably see "cannot connect" errors, as:
dig mx vickers-systems.com -> no MX records
dig a vickers-systems.com -> 206.242.77.113
telnet 206.242.77.113 smtp
Trying 206.242.77.113...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
Their mailserver is down.

if the newsletters are all the same, you could pre-process
the list, organizing by recipent domain and starting qmail-remote
processes with a few dozen recipients, and only give qmail
the ones that don't go through on the first attempt, and even then
after some back-off time. That way you won't clog up all incoming
channels somewhere, denying service, and getting barred.
Some perl code that can work with qmail-remote is available
at http://www.davidnicol.com/qmail.html
You could open one channel per recipent domain by inserting
fork and next;
right after the for(keys %Recipients) line. Adding a random
backoff timer, something like
sleep(rand 3600)
before invoking qmail-inject might ease things too, as long as
your machine has enough swap space to have all these forked perls
sitting around sleeping.
YMMV.

Hi, guys
I am thinking to apply the Qmail-scanner to block the virus attachement,
but I am wondering if this thing is a stable and efficient add-on and
worth to have a try, because for our production mail and mail list
server the stability and efficiency is extremely high demand.
Any suggestion and experience are highly appreciated.
Thanks!

First I have to say that we don't use the scanner.
Some month ago someone posted to this list that plugging a virus scanner
in at a busy mail server demands a magnitude of 300-400% more cpu
power as compared to running without one.
So, if efficiency is a extremely high demand for you check your ressources.
I don't think that the qmail-scanner alone will have any effect on the
stability tho.

I run the scanner to block vbs attachments. I'm only handling mail for 35
people (with very light/moderate mail traffic) so it doesn't make any
noticeable dent in performance.
Keep in mind that it is written in perl and on the page they tell you what
to expect in terms of getting hardware to compensate for using the scanner
on a production machine.

Consider this scenario for incoming mail:
mail.company.com on one side of firewall - firewall.internal.company.com
on inside running sendmail forwarding to
scanningbox.internal.company.com that is aliased in dns to
smtp.internal.company.com forwards everything to
imap.internal.company.com (this is your main qmail server)
Consider this scenario for outgoing mail:
smtp in clients configured to use scanningbox.internal.company.com
scanningox forwards everything to imap.internal.company.com
imap.internal.company.com forwards all outgoing mail to
firewall.internal.company.com
Configuration:
smtp.internal.company.com (scanningbox) is the highest mx record in the
company. This way, scanningbox scans all incoming and outgoing messages
and doesn't put a load on the mail server.

Please don't report FUD about my work! :-)
Qmail-Scanner is NOT buggy. The patch referred to on the homepage DOES work
and works for (almost) everyone who tries it. I'd guess your system has a
broken patch program or you are just calling it incorrectly.
Is there anyone out there with an altered distribution of qmail-1.03 that
contains the QMAILQUEUE patch? Pointing people to such a beast would
certainly allow some less experienced people to get going...

we're using qmail-scanner + f-secure since a few weeks, and
it seems to work really well : already trapped some mails with

Has anyone tried to use the ETRN command from behind a router using NAT. Our
problem is we can send out the ETRN command to port 25 on the ISP's box but
they cannot come in?
Thanks,
Richard.
I have installed qmail and ezmlm but it does not seem to work, nor do i
get any messages about why it is not working. I can make lists, and i have
done this tree times, and have sent messages to them, but they do not seem
to go, nor do i get messages why, except in the maillog file in /var/log/
states this:
qmail: 977266457.397384 delivery 44: deferral:
Unable_to_open_.qmail-testlist2-default:_access_denied._(#4.3.0)/
obviously, i need to change permissions, but to what.... i already
changed them to 777 but still get the same error in the log. who exactly
needs the permissions? Is it the user qmail? what does this user need to
do, write and read this dir?
qmail is running, however, i do not have a qmail-smtp running... this is
what i get with ps -ef
qmails 9204 0.0 0.0 1140 400 pts/3 S 13:00 0:00 qmail-send

is anything missing here?
1. Documentation says use the programs:
ezmlm-check and ezmlm-test to determine if there are any errors, however,
these programs are not part of my distribution. I have programs called
ezmlm-test.sh and ezmlm-test.0 and ezmlm-test.1, but no ezmlm-check at
all.
2. I tried the ezmlm-idx patch, untarred it and put all files into the
ezmlm-0.53 dir... no where in the documentation does it say anything about
whether i should copy over some files already there... ! Is this the
source of my problem?
I realize that these questions may be fundamental to qmail and mail stuff,
so if i could get pointed in the right direction on basic documentation, i
am very grateful.
Thanks in advance!

The problem ist not the file .qmail-testlist2-default itself, as
this is most probably a link to a file in a directory, where you have the
whole list installed.
qmail has a user under which permissions it tries to deliver the email.
I'd assume that this user cannot read the mailing list directory, as
this is of course protected for global access.
You can try a
chown -R <user> <mailinglist-directory>
where
<user> is the user under which permissions the list is run
<ml-directory> is the directory that you specified when
creating the list with ezmlm-make.

Hi,
I need to integrate an qmail instalation on a real IP machine with an
intranet (192.168.1.2) machine with NT and Exchange.
How can I configure qmail to every email @domain.com.br is sent to same
[EMAIL PROTECTED]? Like: *@domain.com.br goes to
*@intranet.domain.com.br
The DNS is ok and I can send emails to @intranet.domain.com.br
(exchange).
I know I can create a /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-xxxx and redirect it to
[EMAIL PROTECTED], but this problem is to avoid double user
management, the customer only wants to create user in Exchange!!!
Is it possible?
Best regards,
Ari
Ari,
As appears to be normal in qmail, there are a few ways to do this.
You could setup the smtproutes file with an entry like:
domain.com.br:intranet.domain.com.br
Or, you could setup an entry in virtualdomains:
domain.com.br:alias-domain_com
And create the file
~alias/.qmail-domain_com-default
which would contain:
|forward ${DEFAULT}@intranet.domain.com.br
Hope that helps.

I'd do it via a virtualdomain (domain.com.br) and have a .qmail-default
file that contains:
|forward "$LOCAL"@intranet.domain.com.br
You have to pay attention however if you also want to catch up
allsubdomain/host.domain.com.br like with (in virtualdomains)
domain.com.br:virtuser
.domain.com.br:virtuser
In this case you'll also have to have a line there
intranet.domain.com.br:
to map intranet.domain.com.br to "standard" delivery and not make it
local (otherwise it'll loop and bounce).

Our rcpthosts file ist getting quite big, adding all the domains
we're doing POP Boxes for and those our customer request backup MX
for.
Has anyone thought of/patched qmail-smtpd to accept messages based on
the IP of the MX records?
Are there any pitfalls that I don't think of in the moment that would make
the mailserver relay open?

Sendmail has a switch to turn this on, which is off by default...
Reason being, anyone can point their domain's MX records to your server
and then freely send mail to/through it.
I'm curious to know if qmail starts having performance issues at higher
numbers of rcpthosts. We're currently running about 1800 domains, most of
them in the morercpthosts file.
I personally prefer having more control through these files. Easier to
deny access to someone who leaves or whose server gets compromised.

cdb has pretty linear performance regardless of the number of
entries. cdb is used for databases that can typically get *much*
larger, such as name server data and /var/qmail/users. 1800 entries is
nothing for cdb.
Unless the reason for the rcpthost is solely as a secondary MX, then
an entry has to be placed in virtualdomains or locals anyway, so
removing the administrative need to have an entry in recipienthosts
doesn't strike me as a very useful gain.
Regards.

Nope ;-)
If I would implement it I'd have a small file e.g. "mxips" which would
contain IPs/IP ranges and only if a MX hosts IP is in there I'd accept it.

This is true.
However one of our mailservers is sitting on an elder machine with only
one disk (we're moving it to a newer/fast machine with raid by now)
and what I did is experience the last weeks was a performance loss
simply by having qmail-smtpd read in about 700 MB rcpthosts and
qmail-remote read in a 300 KB smtproutes file on every incarnation.
a cdb would do any good here, as the lookup would be faster, but a cdb
is even bigger than the plain files.
What really helped in that situation was a small mod to qmail-smtpd
(1.01) to only read in rcpthosts if relayclient wasn't set. So the
problem is (soon was ;-) IO bound not CPU bound.
What I'd also wanted to overcome is the "explanative" overhead of
managing rcpthosts for customers that order/release domains without
telling us and then complain that mail gets bounced.
Argueing them is IMHO a waste of time ... they're customers, they don't
want to think oder understand how things work, they want it to work and
go mad on you if it doesn't regardless whose fault it is.

cdb lookup routines mmap the cdb file into the process address space
and then access it. If your OS has a strong VM system this makes cdb
lookups very fast access-wise.

When qmail-smtpd reads in rcpthosts, it reads it into a hashed
structure.
cdb files are also hashed, but the entire thing isn't read in. It
relies on the filesystem's cache to keep the hash tables and commonly
accessed records in memory.

You may have already figured this out by now, but it seems that you may
have wrong permissions on the Maildir. Check the ownership and
permissions on the maildir. If I remember correctly, the pop daemon will
give you that auth failure if the Maildir in question is not owned by the
user, even though the username and password are correct.
I know I have gotten this error before, and if I remember correctly (it's
late) that was the problem.

To all qmail members,
I am completely new to qmail. I developed one application related to mail
system. According to my requirement I want to collect all my mail messages
to one particular system account. I achieve same functionality with Sendmail
in Linux.
My system configuration is give below.
I user RedHat 6.2 Linux
Domain name is : myserver.com
Just for example I have following system account in my system
1: user_a (email address : [EMAIL PROTECTED])
2: user_b (email address : [EMAIL PROTECTED])
3: user_c (email address : [EMAIL PROTECTED])
4: user_d (email address : [EMAIL PROTECTED])
.............
.............
.............
n: alluser (email address : [EMAIL PROTECTED])
Now, I want to achieve following functionality,
When [EMAIL PROTECTED] receives mail in his mail box automatically that
mail is also available in [EMAIL PROTECTED] (it means direct copy). Same
way if any user like (user_b, user_c,.....) receives any mail then all mail
is also available in my alluser account. So my alluser account contains all
mails received through @myserver.com domain.
The second functionality is, if some user say notexist is not available in
my system and if my system receive mail with that address then automatically
it send an bounce message to sender. I want to disable this bounce back
feature if user not found. If user exist or not exist, my system accept all
messages in [EMAIL PROTECTED] user,
I achieve above functionality with sendmail like this way,
I added following two lines in my sendmail.mc file
define('LUSER_REPLY','local:[EMAIL PROTECTED])
feature('virtusertable','hash -o /etc/mail/virtusertable')
and I remove allmasquerade feature so system never generate bounce back
message to sender if user is not exist.
My /etc/mail/virtusertable file contains only one line.
@myserver.com alluser
So with this line allmessages is available to my alluser account.
I just setup qmail according to installation instruction and I successfully
receive and send all messages. But how I setup my above requirements. In
sendmail we have one main file called sendmail.mc is there any file for
qmail setting ?
Regards,
Bhavesh.

Hi,
I'm wondering what
is the correct use of this command (TAI64NLOCAL) inside the supervise
scripts.
I have three
run scripts in /var/qmail/supervise... and they look like:
exec setuidgid
qmaill multilog t s2000000 /var/log/qmail/qmail-pop3d
The other two are
similar.
I don't want the TAI
timestamps @.... in the log files anymore (they are
frightening!!)
Other suggestions
about more options in the scripts are also welcome.
Thank you in
advance.
Marco Santini
