just a suggestion: what about a few lines at www.qmail.org telling people
what information to post in order to get help (logs, configs, permissions,
startup scripts, etc. blah blah) and not just: i have a problem - mails are
not delivered - what's wrong?

I doubt it will work. http://www.qmail.org/top.html already includes a
blurb about the list and the FAQ, which does not stop people from
asking such frequently asked questions. If they can't master the FAQ,
its unlikely they will master the relevant-information part.

Me too. But we could try it. I could point people to a document that
says how to get help from the qmail mailing list. And then I could,
hehe, suggest that people run qmail-lint first. Bwahahahahaha!

Looking back at your original question:

There is a total lack of useful information for us to use to help
you with. The following information would help us help you:
What do the logs say? Show a complete delivery attempt of one
message to hotmail, from the "begin" line to the "end" line. Also show us a
successful delivery somewhere. Feel free to X out the usernames, but leave
the domain information in place.
What is your mail server's IP address? As someone has already
suggested, you may be blacklisted inadverdantly or because of a previous
owner of that IP. (This would probably also show up in the aforementioned
log).
What are the contents of your /var/qmail/control/smtproutes file?

If you don't like the help you are getting here piss off and hire someone.
You are rude. And yes, at the moment I'm rude too. Just can't read this

In IMAP, every message has an Unique ID. This is totally unrelated to
the User ID.
I have no answer to the question, however. I don't use IMAP.

oh i found that all the email is same modification time. is it affect the UID??

Yes, M$ owns Hotmail. They have a bunch of Windooze Servers, but AFAIK the
real work is done by FreeBSD machines. rumors say they tried to convert to
Windooze NT when they buyed Hotmail, Hotmail was down for a few days and
they went back to FreeBSD ;-))
I don't know if this is really true, but it would make sense.

Our mailing list has a hundred or so subscribers with Hotmail
addresses and their servers are quite patchy. Is this problem
consistent (have you ever got mail through to them)? If so, look in
the log for more information on the cause of the deferral. Even if
you do get an smtp connection, your trouble may not be over. You may
find that they don't 250 at the end (a sporatic problem there) or
that the user you are sending to is over quota.
Finally, if your server sends to yahoo, your either lucky or good. I
find yahoo.com and yahoo.ca to be down 20% of the time.

Hello all,
I am using Bruce Guetner's Qmail SRPMs with Courier-IMAP. I am planning to
transfer mail services to another machine. Can I just copy the users'
Maildir (with its contents) to the new machine? What I plan to do is this:
1. configure new machine as mail2
2. add user accounts to mail2
3. stop mail1 from receiving mails from users by unsetting RELAYCLIENT
4. wait till mail1 sends all mails currently in queue
5. stop qmail-smtpd on mail1
6. backup users' Maildir
7. transfer backup to mail2
8. disconnect mail1
9. rename mail2 to mail1
10. restart mail services on new mail1
Is this the correct way to transfer mails?
TIA,
M. Yu
I have never done this before. I think what I have suggested would decrease
the 'downtime' of you mail server. I am assuming you followed lwq. If you
didn't the qmail script that I am referring to is at
http://www.lifewithqmail.com/lwq.html#qmail-script. Try this:
1. configure new machine as mail2
2. add user accounts to mail2
3. pause qmail (qmail pause) on mail1
4. put mail2 in the smtproutes on mail1 (echo :mail2 >
/var/qmail/control/smtproutes)
5. backup users' Maildir
6. transfer backup to mail2
7. unpause qmail (qmail cont) on mail1
8. wait for all the mail on mail1 to go to mail2
9. stop qmail on mail1 (qmail stop)
10. rename mail2 to mail1
11. restart mail services on new mail1

Do this instead:
1. configure new machine as mail1 offline.
2. add user accounts to (new)mail1
3. unplug Ethernet for mail1 and plug in Ethernet for (new)mail1.
4. rename mail1 to be mail2.
5. plug mail2's Ethernet back in.
6. backup users' Maildir
7. transfer backup to mail1 (easy to say, but very time-consuming)
8. Leave mail2 running until its queue empties.
Optionally, if you wish to immediately reuse mail2, ensure that mail2
is allowed by mail1 to relay, and put the following line into
smtproutes:
:mail1
Send an ALRM signal to qmail-send on mail2. It will dump its queue
onto mail1. Once it's queue is empty, you may shut down mail2.

Yes it does!
(But that was rather complicated to test :->)
Anyway, VERP expansion is done by qmail-send, but only qmail-remote (two
exec's later) knows whether the remote host is a QMTP host... Humm.

Yes, but it's not required by the QMTP protocol. It's just an
extension that qmail provides.

Even then, VERP per se, is not an extension that qmail provides. Sure,
VERP expansion via qmail-send is a performance nicety, but
fundamentally VERP is a neat trick that any decent MTA can (and does)
use.

I've set up a web page to combat Sendmail Inc.'s false advertising on
this topic: http://cr.yp.to/surveys/sendmail.html
Sendmail dropped below 50% of the Internet's SMTP servers---including
idle workstations---last year; qmail has climbed past 10%. I suspect
that qmail now handles more Internet mail deliveries than Sendmail does,
although I don't know a good way to measure this.

The problem is getting the random sample. You can't just count
servers, you have to count traffic. And when you start to do that, it
becomes quite difficult to come up with a good random sample. Best I
can think of is to do what the FBI does: arrange with some Internet
provider to put a traffic analyzer somewhere on their backbone, and
sniff for SMTP sessions. Check the MTA's on both ends and give each
credit for handling an Internet mail delivery.
You could examine a set of log files, but then how do you count them?
You can't count the MTA that sent and received the email because it's
completely non-random. And yet, that throws off your statistics.
I could, for example, get you the log files for Rediff.com. They're
an Indian portal that probably handles 50% of all email in and out of
India. From the smtpd and qmail log files you could contact each
sending and receiving site. You could identify the MTA, and count
that as "an Internet mail delivery".
But that sample would be weighted towards personal email, and away
from workplace email. That makes it much less random.
I could also get you the log files for two ISPs that send daily mail
to all of their customers. But that weights the sample towards
people interested in that kind of mail.

And also, gathering server stats from this list would be biased.
I also work in an ISP, a large one (500k+ customers). I could also send you
a bunch of logfiles, both from residential customers, corporate customers,
and even the offices. But, considering most traffic is probably internal,
it would all be qmail talking to qmail.

I need to be able to send/relay all of the messages in a maildir (the
default/catchall for that domain) back out to that domain,
there was a 'cessation' of the domains real mail server, and it is
operational again so the desire is to hand
these messages back to that machine.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to do this in a clean
fashion? Failing that another way that isn't manual?
Thanks for your time,

Lars,
I happen to be having the exact same problem. Well, almost, I think my
issue is reversed.
Mail coming in from external STMP checks fine, and ends up in the
correct area and mail boxes. Users checking their e-mail via POP-3 are told
they do not exist, and therefore are not able to pickup mail.
I have one user exempt to this, but not on purpose. A previous user set
up in the system seems to be able to read e-mails from his home Maildir. I
know what your going to say, but mail is not sent to his home Maildir, it is
sent to the alternate within vmailmgr settings. Well you got that one
right. So infact that is the only user that can log in, but has not a
single piece of mail to where qmail is getting is mail from.
Basically when an external user attempts to connect to POP3 they are
told they don't exist, because qmail-pop3d is not looking in the correct
area when they get handled by 'checkvpw'. (my guess) so, how do I change
it?
Anyway, no user is loosing mail, as it is all getting saved in the right
area.
If anyone comes up with a solution to this, it would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Sean

My guess would be that you specified pop-3 in your start script,
however, pop-3 does not exist in /etc/protocols
Check that an if that's not your problem you will need to provide more
details about how you setup your pop3 script.

Of course. tcpserver or whichever wrapper you're using isn't bound to any
port.

Replace any instance of pop-3 with pop3 in your init script/s. You really
should have included your init script in your email.

Subject: hrm....pop3d
having a bit of a problem with qmail-poop3d. when i start it fro mmy init
script i get this funky error in the log file.
Jan 12 06:54:30 noname pop3d: 979300470.784986 tcpserver: fatal: unable to
figure out port number for pop-3
Jan 12 06:54:31 noname qmail: 979300471.799484 status: local 0/10 remote
0/20
any have any idea what could be causing this? when i telnet to the box/ip
on port 110 i get no connection. I'm running openbsd 2.8 with qmail 1.03
and daemon tools .70 with checkpassword .81

Oops, make that /etc/services (I hate replying to my own replies) :-)
