When you start qmail, it will try to deliver the mails in the mail
queue. That's just how it works. You can manually delete the mails
from the queue if you like - check for qmHandle at www.qmail.org.

This is a security feature. If the users mail (or home) directory is
writable for anyone other than the user, it is trivially easy for
anyone to intercept, rewrite and reroute the users' mail. Thus, qmail
will not deliver the mail.

Do you mean mail clients which will read directly from the maildir
instead of using IMAP? If so, mutt has native maildir support and
there are patches for pine on www.qmail.org as well.

Hope this helps.

afaik you need rcpthosts, the relaymailfrom.patch is additional.
maybe i am wrong, but put your local domain into rcpthosts
and give it a try.

*Don't* delete rcpthosts. Read the documentation that comes with the patch
more carefully. The patch doesn't change anything about the way rcpthosts or
RELAYCLIENT works; it simply adds the ability for you to relay by MAIL FROM
address.

hi,

Hi,
I have a qmail server running in a FreeBSD 4.2 and using
qmail-pop3d. I would like to know if I could set up qmail-pop3d to work only
for users in some groups in /etc/group file. Is it possible to do this? How
?
thanks,
Roberto Samarone Araujo
HI all...
If this question has been asked before, please accept my apologies.
I am wondering if it is at all possible to authenticate qmail users via a
similar method as per qmail-ldap but from NT domains ?
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
Dennis
Hello Everyone,
I'm new to this list, so please forgive me if this has been asked before
or is really dumb.
I'm running RH7.0 and I would like to run qmail. I thought I had it
working once, but I was just calling tcpd from xinetd and that seemed a
little foolish. I have been messing around with xinetd all day and my
progress has been -42. Qmail accepts messages, but then they just sort of
disappear. I think it all stems from a problem with my xinetd
configuration. I have searched the internet and everything I find is
different from everything else. I am looking for the 'definitive' thing to
use with xinetd. Hopefully, it should have logging and not use anything
toooo complex (and allow relaying from my lan).
I would also really appreciate it if someone would tell me why so many
people use tcpserver instead of xinetd. I understand that tcpserver can be
run continually, but xinetd only starts smtpd (or whatever) when someone
connects to port 25. I am going to be running a very very (did I mention
very) low-volume mail server.
PLEASE someone, just tell me what to do. Thanks very much in advance.
Maybe now I can put down my virtual water gun. Thanks.
Despairing Jeff
Hello,
This set up used to work with qmail and RH7.0. It uses vpopmail so if
you have a standard qmail instalation you'll have to change vchkpw to use
checkpassword.
Each service is in one file inside /etc/xinet.d. Read xinet man pages to
allow and deny connections, set a maximun number of concurrent connections,
bind and external ip to an internal ip, configure your logs, etc...
tcpserver was the only solution before xinet and it is still the best
solution for advanced qmail instalations. For nothing too complicated xinet
can do the job perfectly... and it is most straightforward than tcpserver.
So the choice depends on your needs.
Bye.
/etc/xinet.d/smtp
# default: on
service smtp
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = qmaild
server = /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env
server_args = /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
log_on_success += USERID
log_on_failure += USERID
}
/etc/xinet.d/pop
# default: on

log_on_failure += USERID
}

Hello all,
I am a newbie to this list. Now, I want to authenticate SMTP
and POP3
and SMTPD and POP3D do well in the
"qmaild" user which I set its uid to root id (0).
But do I have to let "qmaild" become super-user? Have any
other way to do this , because
"qmaild" super-user is not good enough to me.
Any help would be appreciated.

I am a newbie to both QMail, and this list, but before anyone flames me
about RTFM, I have. I bought the Running QMail book, and have been sifting
through that trying to find answers, I've read the QMail FAQ, I've looked at
several of the informational web pages that individuals have listed at
qmail.org. Described below is my environment, and the steps I've taken to
try to make this work.
I've installed QMail 1.03 on a Redhat 7 box. In addition to manual editing
of configuration files, I'm using Vyacheslav Ignatyuk's Webmin module to
manage QMail. So far, if I add a domain name to RCPTHOSTS, QMail will send
a message to that domain. If I delete RCPTHOSTS all together, QMail will
send a test message to any domain.
What I'm trying to accomplish is that QMail relay messages based on the
client's IP address. Currently I'm trying to get it to work with my
internal network. Once I have that functioning, I'll know how to allow
trusted others.
I've created a source rule file /etc/tcprules.d/qmail-smtpd
This file contains 192.168.1.0:allow,RELAYCLIENT=" "
I used this file to build my qmail-smtpd.cdb file.
I start tcpserver with an init script
tcpserver -v -p -c 100 -x /etc/tcprules.d/qmail-smtpd.cdb 0 smtp
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
Still, after starting tcpserver with this method, any message I attempt to
send to a domain not listed in RCPTHOSTS gets rejected with an error stating
that the domain isn't listed in RCPTHOSTS.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what I may be doing wrong? What might not
be configured correctly? or What might be broken? Or maybe an entirely
different method of allowing smtp relay? (Keep in mind that I'll be using
Couier-IMAP) I would really like to get this functioning soon.
Feel free to reply to me off of the list if you need to. If there is any
information that I have left out that would be helpful to you, let me know
and I will provide it.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

The IP part isn't a netmask, it's a pattern. Try replacing the line above
with
192.168.1.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""

how to implement quota with
qmail+vpopmail+sqwebmail?
|
Hi all...
I'm looking to implement the calendar, tasks, notes etc features available
in Outlook with qmail and courier-imap
Does anyone know of any product that allows for the complete integration of
Outlook and qmail/courier-imap without having to use MS Exchange
*shudder*...
Cheers
Dennis
Have you seen http://www.eridu.org/
Wondering how hard it would be to intergrate the sqwebmail project and the
eridu project.
It would be a great idea
?

Hi, all
Sometimes my mail will be bounced with the subject "return address is
refused". What does that mean? I'm using qmail-1.03.
Thank you in advance.
