Yes i have too this bugs when i try to install a antivirus who use the qmail-queue ! When i have this problem, the problem is from qmail-queue ! All messages are not delivered and are in the queue...

The structures themselves are relatively small, so most changes make little difference.
Hi. There is a method to run qmail on a specific IP address. For example binding on 111.222.222.222:25 instead of 0.0.0.0:25 Thanks

Hi, the provided answers point to the right problem. Except for the following: --> If your QMAIL installation comes from a package (eg. SuSE Linux) you have to obey the relative path of the installation. The common QMAIL package for SuSE Linux has a QMAIL path like /usr/local/var/qmail ...... --> Thus check, where the QMAIL binaries are! cheers. eh.

Thanks.
I am not sure what you are asking. ~username/.qmail is the file that determines how to process mail sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (where yourmachine.example.org is your machine, e.g. globalred.com). ~username/.qmail-foo is the file the determines how to process mail sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Now, if /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains has a line like this: heaven.af.mil:username The mail sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] will be processed in qmail as [EMAIL PROTECTED] (the ~username/.qmail-foo file). And mail sent to any undefined address @heaven.af.mil will be processed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] (the ~username/.qmail-default file). Read the relevent Qmail docs, FAQs, and man pages for more information. - Sam > Hi, I install qmail Memphis version with dt-run services with virtualdomains > using assign file.

Sure. Just set up these machines, put 'abc.foo.org' in rcpthosts and locals on the box, and make sure the box knows about users a thru c. Then on your central incoming box(es) either build a big list and use fastforward, or write a small wrapper around forward to go into your ~alias/.qmail-default. > I think it must be possible.And all machines must be > aware of that configuration to handle right email.Of > course there is another problem grows how will end > user > know which machine is right machine to send mail and > RECEIVE(via pop3) I think there are pop3-relays that can relay to a certain box based on username.

So, why not insert some sort of a clue, and look at the headers. stupidity I understand, and I commiserate with. rudeness accompanied by brilliance I tolerate. rudeness amlgated with stupidity deserves the flammage I am going to bestow on it.

Look at the header of this mail you receive from the list. You should see something like Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ where you can see the e-mail address the mailing list manager thinks it sends the mail to. The = stands for @.

Hi, I've been reading about an exploit that was made available for vpopmail-3.4.10a/vpopmail-3.4.11[b-e]. Is that worked out or should I apply the 40 char limit patch to qmail-popup? I'm running vpopmail 4.9.8. + qmail 1.03 Thanks in advance Franco Galian
Hi, I have attached at this mail 3 patchs. Can you help me for rewrite this patch qmail 1.03 compatible ? How i can install it ?

I have it installed on my system as /var/qmail/libexec/qqrbl and run it via ':allow,QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/libexec/qqrbl"' in my tcpserver config file. Uses the Mail::RBL module (note that Mail::RBL thinks it requires a really recent version of Perl, but if you change the 'our $VERSION' variable to 'use vars qw($VERSION)' and get rid of the 'use warnings.pm', it runs just fine under 5.005_03. Real simple script, basically, it groks the IP's out of every Received: line and runs them through all three RBL's at mail-abuse.org (easy enough to edit the script to change that) and adds an 'X-RBL:' header for every match, making filtering down the line easier. I considered just using a simple bourne shell script with Bruce's qmail-qfilter and rblcheck, but this seems more elegant. :) Please post on qmail.org as you see fit.

I just got this off /. and there was a link to how Qwest.net set up its mailservers. It's a basic presentation with photos, but its useful. What's really nice is their use of Qmail & explaination why.. http://www.users.qwest.net/~presentations/cmikk/ Steve.
[Chris: We're discussing your presentation on the Qmail list] On Sat, 27 Jan 2001, Steve Fulton wrote: > http://www.users.qwest.net/~presentations/cmikk/ I notice that Chris Mikkelson and the people at qwest.net use multiple qmail-sends on multiple queues, with a note that qmail-send is the big bottleneck. I wonder if they are using the big concurrency patch. Once the big concurrency patch is installed, it is trivial to get a concurrency of 500. The 500 number is based on Linux's limits--I would not be surprised if FreeBSD has far bigger limits. This means we can send out 500 messages at any given instant. Let us suppose that 99% of the messages can be delivered to the remote machine in one second, and 1% of the messages take 60 seconds (one minute) to deliver or time out. [1] With this simplified model, our imaginary high-traffic mail server can handle a continuous stream of the maximum concurrency of our qmail-send process multiplied by .625. Which means a concurrency of 500 can handle about 300 messages a second, which is well over a million messages a day. In fact, with a concurrency of 500, a heavily loaded mail server should handle over a million messages in an hour. - Sam [1] 60 seconds is how long qmail-remote will wait before giving up on a dead host.
Hi all, I was wondering if someone could tell me how to create a bounce message, or what would fool a remote mail server into thinking it was a bounce message? I occasionally get subscribed to spam ads from big companies that don't always honor their unsubscribe requests/web page submittals. I notice that these emails often have a return path specified that looks like some type of processor on their end that might remove my address if it receives a bounce while trying to contact me. So, I'd like to use that return path address and make the server think it bounced the email to me, but how do I do that? Thanks, Dave
"Hubbard, David" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > I was wondering if someone could tell me how to > create a bounce message, or what would fool a remote > mail server into thinking it was a bounce message? You can use bouncesaying in your .qmail file if you know how to programmatically detect the kind of message you want to reply to. Otherwise, create a .qmail-bounce file to handle a you-bounce address, and put bouncesaying (or any command that exits 100) in that file. Then send a message to you-bounce. The envelope sender of this message should be the address that you want the bounce to go to. paul
Anyone having qq error messages when implementing qmailqueue patch?? Specificall 4.5.1/4.5.0?? I'm trying to filter e-mail using qmail-qfilter and get frequent errors. Searched the qmail archive and most there was some talk about softlimit but nothing definative... Anyone getting the qmailqueue/qmail-qfilter working in a moderately used environment?

It would be in $DEFAULT (it's the part that matched -default in your .qmail file name). The qmail-command man page will tell you the whole story. Chris

Use 822header from the mess822 package. There are other (very fast) progs in the package to aid filtering. Mate
Hi all... I think I have found "THE" email migration utility for win32 users needing to migrate to another email server. This is what our mid sized org will use to move all 300+ email accounts and address books to qmail from a pegasus/mercury server. http://www.comaxis.com/ua.htm For what it's worth. Dennis

Hummumph. Thanks for pointing that out. I think we have caught hotmail.com in the act of changing over from QMail to some other email system. mail.hotmail.com was running Qmail just yesterday, though all of the other machines were running whatever it is they are running now. I know that Hotmail, according to qmail.org, until recently, used Qmail for the outgoing mail. I will make some wild speculations as to why it is Hotmail switched over. My speculations: * This new mail system may have a lot of spam-protection built in. AOL, seems to be using the same email system. * Microsoft, for marketing reasons, obviously does not want it to be known that they use a Unix+Qmail system. - Sam (Who is both amused and mildly disturbed that walmart.com uses Apache but pretends to use IIS)
I am a newbie sysadmin who has just setup his very first e-mail server running RH 7.0 with OpenSSH, qmail and qmail-pop3d (utilizing maildir's). I been having problems with sending out e-mail (i.e. not at all) so my question would be: besides qmail.org and 'life with qmail', can anyone recommend any good sources on installing, maintaining and tweaking qmail. Thanks in advance... Joe Louthan [EMAIL PROTECTED]
At least I am on the right track. I searched Bookpool.com (cheaper than amazon and this Bookpool won't try to copyright html :) and this was the only book about qmail so like a fish drinking water, I bought the book a couple day ago.

> I been having problems with sending out e-mail (i.e. not at all) OK, some things to check: Is /usr/sbin/sendmail and /usr/lib/sendmail a symlink to /var/qmail/bin/sendmail Are the qmail processes (which you start with '/var/qmail/rc &' in /etc/rc.d/rc.local) running. Run 'ps -ef | grep qmail' and see if Qmail is there. And, since you mentioned that you are a Newbie sysadmin using RH7, please, pretty please update (or get rid of) the various remote root exploits that RedHat 7 comes with.
