It refills the buffer for the substdio argument. It is called when
one of the input routines is called when there is no data left in the
buffer.
It's a bit confusing at first glance because DJB is using the n field
as both an offset to the bytes remaining in the buffer and to indicate
the size of the buffer. In substdio_feed, if s->p is 0, then s->n
holds the size of the buffer. This double duty is why the byte_copyr
is required at the end of substdio_feed, to ensure that the condition
will hold the next time substdio_feed is called.

Any garbage in the queue will get removed after 36 hours, if I'm
correct.

Uh, put
subdomain.domain.com:alias-moved
into virtualdomains
then create ~alias/.qmail-moved-default, containing

Which mail directory are you referring to? /var/qmail?
/var/spool/mail? ~user/Maildir? And what kind of trouble are you
having?
I use dump and GNU tar via Amanda to backup all of my mail directories
and haven't had any trouble. Of course, restoring the queue is a
little tricky since some of the files must be named after their inode
number.

I am referring to ~user/Maildir.
Some of the user use POP, and the other use IMAP. And, I assume that incoming mails
store into ~/Maildir/new. My question is:
if there are new coming mail storing into ~/Maildir/new while backup job is working,
what problem is going to happen. If there is no problem, it means that those new
coming mail is not backed up? Or, if there is some error, what are they?
Does Amanda works fine?
Thank you

Incoming messages are first stored in ~/Maildir/tmp. They are only moved to
~/Maildir/new once the file write is complete. Therefore, as long as you
are only backing up ~/Maildir/cur and ~/Maildir/new, you shouldn't have any
risk of incomplete file back-ups.

Not familiar with this program, but any file copier should do, even plain
old "cp -r".

I am using multilog as logger tool for my qmail instalation. As usual, the
time stamp is in tain format. I know that you can use tai64nlocal to convert
the timestamp to human readable format, but there is not much documentation
on how to do it.
Can anyone help me?

Just pipe the log output through tai64nlocal, like:
tai64nlocal < /var/log/qmail/current
It will convert the tai64n timestamp to localtime and print the rest of the
line.

This normally means you've already got another supervise process running
for that service/directory.

Consider installing something like Bruce Guenter's nullmailer -- it provides
the minimal functionality for programs on the local machine to be able to
send mail (through a program which provides a sendmail-compatible command line
interface), and relays all mail to one or more specified smarthosts.
Check http://em.ca/~bruceg/nullmailer/ for more info.

First problem is that qmail considers this a successful delivery, but
procmail thinks it was unsuccessful. See:
http://www.lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html#procmail
for some qmail/procmail tips.
Second problem is that procmail didn't like your recipe. That's really
a procmail problem, and should be directed to a procmail forum.

Sounds like there's a typo in your
/var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run script. Try copying/pasting it
from LWQ.

I know it is still very early to be asking this question, but here goes. I remember
seeing a notice that qmail was incompatible with reiserfs unless you patched the
reiserfs
sources. The just-released Linux kernel 2.4.1 includes support for reiserfs. Does
anyone know if it is the patched version that works with qmail, or if it is the
version that
will be incompatible?

Never heard that. I've been using qmail over reiserfs for quite a long time now with
kernel 2.2.17. What you had to do was to patch the kernel and fine-tune the qmail
conf-* files before compile. But that's another story.
Qmail works independent from underlaying filesystem (of course there are possible I/O
bottlenecks and reliabylity problems but that's another issue).

So it seems you don't have to patch the kernel sources anymore :)

There's no such thing. Please take a look at:
http://www.jedi.claranet.fr/qmail-reiserfs-howto.html
Also search the mailing list archives (http://www-archive.ornl.gov:8000) as this issue
has been raised before.

You need to patch qmail to work correctly with reiserfs, not the kernel.

Anytime you're fiddling with the queue there's a possibility of
corrupting it, whether qmail-send is running or not. If you delete
messages *carefully* while qmail-send is running, it'll complain about
missing files but it shouldn't break anything.

You appeared to get a segfault (core dump) from qmail-getpw after applying some
patches (MySQL perhaps?). You're running Solaris. This leads me to believe
one or more of the following:
-your compiler or libraries are broken. This is the case with some older
versions of Solaris.
-you applied the patches improperly.
-your MySQL installation is broken or different than the patches expect.

In summary:
* Use truss to get a sense of where the seg fault is happening
* Compile the program with the '-g' switch and analyze the core file
with dbm
* Try compiling it with gcc instead, which can be obtained over at
http://sunfreeware.com.

thanks your reply.
i also thought the problem was due to solaris' lib being old....

that. It's no longer an appropriate topic for the qmail mailing list.

Hello,
i have the following situation:
+-----------------+
| qmail 1.03 |
eth0 ------| gemini.qad.org |
| |
ppp0 ------| gemini.myip.org |
+-----------------+
My host should accept mails to gemini.qad.org
as well as gemini.myip.org, because it is the
same machine.
What I did:
I edited the configure files 'locals',
'rcpthosts' and 'virtualdomains' and wrote
the additional hostname in there.
The virtualdomains:
tuebingen.mpg.de:
gemini.myip.org:
:alias-ppp
But it appears like an urgly hack to me.
Is there a better way to reach the needed
functionality?
Thanks for answers and hints

Put both domains in locals and rcpthosts, and neither in
virtualdomains. Nothing ugly about that.

Take "gemini.myip.org" and "gemini.qad.org" out of virtualdomains if they
are in there. Put both of them into "locals" and "rcpthosts". Then mail
for both [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] will be delivered to
local user "joe" on the machine.

He meant that I could, for instance, configure _our_ dns so that a
particular IP address reverse resolves to foo.rope.net. Without
paranoid checking (both PTR and A record match), then security through
hostname checking is lax security.

Hi,
Sorry my English, please.
I'm happy with qmail and the users too.
When i can add antivirus support with qmail-scanner, i fall in trouble.
The QMAILQUEUE patch work fine, the installation its ok, but fetchmail ( i
have a dial-up connection ) log the following to

malloc() failed; you're low on memory/swap. Kill some processes and try
again, or add memory or swapspace to your system. It's not a qmail issue,
so it's not appropriate to continue the discussion here.

Or you've configured a memory limit on qmail-smtpd that's too
low. E.g., if you installed using LWQ, you have something like:
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 2000000 \
In /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run. Try making the 2000000 larger
until the error goes away. You'll need to restart the qmail-smtpd
supervise, too, if you're using it. Again, with LWQ this would be:
svc -k /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-qmtpd

I'm using maildirsmtp to route my outgoing mail through
my ISP. Recently, I've had problems when the connection
has died, mid-transmission. The mail is no longer in the
/var/qmail/alias/pppdir maildir, all I have is the processes

/usr/local/bin/maildirserial -b -t 1209600 -- /var/qm 1389 ttyp1 S

0:00 /usr/local/bin/serialsmtp alias-ppp- west
Is there any way I can restart the send when the connection
comes back up, or do I have to kill the processes and restart
the whole procedure (i.e. re-compose and send the interrupted
messages.)

Is it possible to have two mailinglist named like this?
~alias/.qmail-test
~alias/.qmail-test-foobar
Now if I send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] it works, but if I
send to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I get an error message back telling me
"Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1)"
I've managed to hard code the users with double names,
Lars-Svensson.Svensson and Lars-Olle.Svensson using the
/var/qmail/users/assign but how to I handle this for mailinglists?

I was wondering if anyone here might know of an addon for qmail that will
let me block an email address... This also needs to work with vpopmail...
any help would be appreciated. Thanx.

Try /var/qmail/control/badmailfrom.
man qmail-smtpd might be informative there :)

Hi all.
When my friend set up some gateway/proxy/mailserver/whateverelse, he found
little strange thing in script file qmail.sh located @ /etc/profile.d/ in
his system (and other ones too, as we've seen later).
SNIP
if grep -q './Mailbox' /var/qmail/defaultdelivery/rc; then
MAIL="$HOME/Mailbox"
elif grep -q './Maildir/' /var/qmail/defaultdelivery/rc ; then
MAIL="$HOME/Maildir/"
SNIP
Note that the grep with -q flag will take quietly the first Mailbox string
in the file (if there exists one), even if this is in commented line
(whatever the comment symbol is, std is '#'). So when you have
/var/qmail/defaultdelivery/rc with this contents:
SNIP
# Using qmail-local to deliver messages to ~/Mailbox by default.
./Maildir/
SNIP
grep will match the string '~/Mailbox' in the first (commented) line. (The
first line is relict of some std installation...)
Probably regexp '^[^#].*/Mailbox' or filtering comments should fix this?

Cyrus has an OpenSource Sieve implementation, for those who were
wondering. It's supposed to be integrated into Cyrus imapd, tho.
How relevant would a sieve implementation that can simply be called
from a .qmail be?
Greetz, Peter.
QMTP may be faster than SMTP for sending mail, but it seems less powerful in
our spam-happy Internet era. How would one go about rejecting incoming QMTP
mail? The protocol suggests that there is no way of writing some equivalent
of rblsmtpd. The shipped qmail-qmtpd.c in qmail 1.03 doesn't even read
control/badmailfrom.
This means that servers running QMTP will have to do more processing after
accepting mail to weed out spammers and other undesirable mail senders.

I wrote a patch to make badmailfrom work in qmail-qmtpd. It's on
Johan Almqvist's QMTP page.
An rblqmtpd should be very possible, I see no real problems there.
Just reply 'deferred' for every recipient.

I think you mean Dan's implementation is 'less powerful'; it has nothing to
do with the protocol.
Has anyone seen spam enter their network via qmail-qmtpd?

I'm considering a move to an ISP who uses qmail but before moving our
business I have a question no one there can answer. We currently have five
email newsletters that are served out by Lyris at out current ISP. I have
an ASP page for subscribing to these newsletters that interfaces with Lyris.
Does qmail Mailing List have the ability for me to do the same thing if I
set up lists for the five newsletters? The documentation the ISP provided
me doesn't show this information. Thanks.

qmail is just an MTA. Is the new ISP running ezmlm or ezmlm-idx for mailing
list software? If not, they should. It's the best mailing list software
around, bar none, and it's specifically designed for qmail. ezmlm-idx is
an add-on for ezmlm which adds a few features. It may already include a
web interface for subscription/un-subscription requests, but I do not know
that.
If not, creating one is trivial. Just create a web page that submits to a CGI
(in Python, Perl, or whatever you like -- could be done in PHP or ASP). The
user fills in their email address and clicks "subscribe" or "unsubscribe". The
CGI takes the address and reformats it as follows:
Subscribe request: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
=> [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subscribe request: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
=> [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The CGI then injects the mail into the system. ezmlm will automatically
send a confirmation mail to the user asking them to reply to be automatically
subscribed/unsubscribed. It's that easy. We use precisely this method at
the company I work for. The CGI is about a dozen lines of Perl, if that.

I've been working for about 4 weeks now at setting up qmail on my RH 7.0
box. I'm somewhat new to linux (my real sys admin background is in WinNT,
etc. - but I lost the desire to deal with their licensing schemes...) and
I've given up on the RH dist for a number of reasons including the issues I
have had with setting up qmail - dealing with xinitd vs. more typical "boot"
scripts and other things I don't understand enough.
I have access to pretty much any dist and wanted to know what the opinion is
on the most recommended distribution... I've heard Debian, FreeBSD, etc in
other areas, but wasn't sure.
I intend this box to be super secure with qmail (for multiple domains) and
bind/dns running, thus I don't want the frills of an Xwin sys or any added
visual toys, or to run a telnet or ftp server. I have learned how to login
remotely using SSH and that's about all I need. I am familiar with the RH
shells and the way they (RH) have the sys set up, but I guess I could learn
over with a different dist.
I digress... Suggestions?
Thanks,
SF
You'll get a zillion different answers to this question. I won't answer it
directly, but I'll throw in my two cents on a few points.

FreeBSD isn't a distribution of Linux. It's a version of Unix all by itself.

"Super secure" and "bind/dns" are inconsistent. If you want super secure, try
djbdns: http://cr.yp.to/djbdns.html. It's brought to you by the same person who
gave you super-secure qmail.

Red Hat didn't invent the shell. You'll find the same shells available for
whatever Unix you use (I believe bash is Red Hat's default shell).
I don't know beans about any of the Linux distributions, so I can't make any
recommendations. You might look at one of the BSDs instead of Linux though.
FreeBSD (http://www.freebsd.org) and OpenBSD (http://www.openbsd.org) would
both be good choices.

First off, trying to use a .0 release of any Redhat release is,at the
very least, foolish.
I think you would be quite happy with:
Redhat 6.2
Run the Bastille Project scripts
Install your SSH tools
Turn off any additional unnecessary services (uses inetd, not
xinetd) like telnet and ftp.
Update BIND to the latest version.
Install Qmail using LWQ.
Install Tripwire and set it up to report to you by email automatically.
Put it on the internet. (don't do this until you've done all of the
above)
Another options would be to learn FreeBSD, but if you've already
learned where stuff is on a Redhat distribution, you'll appreciate not
having to relearn where everything is by sticking with a RH distro.
And, there are many other ways to do it. I'm just comfortable that
the above gives you a mainstream platform that is as secure as
you can quickly and easily get.

Another option would be to use Linux-Mandrake. I'd follow the above
steps as well (the BIND update is a definate *must*!!!! don't use
anything below 8.2.3, the current release).
You can also go to http://www.freezer-burn.org/qmail.php for help on
installing qmail under Linux-Mandrake with pre-built rpms that follow
the distribution license (ie. you can further configure/customize
qmail with LWQ without any conflicts or problems).

Jurix, Slackware, Debian. Possibly in this order. Either way, throw in
http://www.lids.org/ and if you're running some flavour of RH, check Bastille.

I run both, and both come with DJB software and many add-ons for it as
ports and packages. I'd go for OpenBSD, dunno why ;-)

Hi,
I'm a new user to this list, and fairly new to qmail. I have searched the
faq and the manual and couldn't find an answer to my problem.
Here's the situation:
I have 2 machines, almost identical. Both are (as far as I can tell) set up
identically.
1 machine works perfectly.
The other leaves a lot to be desired.
Here is my setup:
Maildir is the format.
I have a user jdoe
in the users home directory (/home/jdoe) the Maildir directory exists
Under the Maildir directory, there are three sub directories:
cur
new
tmp
Email comes in fine and is thrown into new as it should be.
I run:
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup test.notreal.com /bin/checkpassword
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir
I log in with proper username and password.
I issue a list command.
It shows NO messages.
I manually move the messages from new to cur, re-connect, re-issue a list
request, and it shows all of the messages.
If I run it on the other system that seems to be operating fine, it shows
that there are messages in the new directory when there are messages there.
I don't get the problem.
According to the man files and everything else, it should show everything
that is in new (and then proceed to go thru cur and clean up tmp after
download). I don't know what the problem is.

What are the rights and ownerships of new, cur and tmp?

I seem to recall message on this list about qmail-pop3d being sensitive
to messages dated in the future. Is the time on one of these machines not
accurate? Do the missing messages show up, but a day late? If either
of these is true, try running xntp to keep the time correct.
You may find other solutions by searching the mailing list archives. You can
find a pointer to the archives from www.qmail.org.

Hi all...
Being a newbie to qmail and ldap I am wondering if there is a qmail with the
qmail-ldap patch already applied.
Hi,
I would like to run qmail behind NAT. The local machine is called 'galois',
with ip number 192.168.1.6. The router is locally called 'euler', and
globally is accessible by 'hypervolume.com'.
I have set up port forwarding (port 25) from euler to galois. I have ^not^
declared an MX -- do I need it if I have only one real IP address ?
Also, what do I put in controls/me ? 'galois' or 'hypervolume.com' ?
What else am I missing to get this working ?
Thank you,
Boris

Any Linux or FreeBSD system you install is going to suffer from your lack of
Un*x systems administration experience. This is not a flame, it is a
warning. You *must* be aware that the security of your system ends at the
same place your knowledge of the system does. The fact that you appear to
think that FreeBSD is a distribution of Linux and (especially this week)
think you can run a 'super secure' server with BIND on it are good
indicators.
Fortunately, you do realize that security is vital for an Internet-connected
system. My advice would be to pick a system, and experiment with it in a
secure environment (ie: not internet-connected), and read as much as you can
(books, online, discussion groups).
You should not expose your systems to the world until you're confident that
you *know* what the risks are.
DJB develops his software on OpenBSD, and for a standard installation (no
patches), one of the *BSDs is optimal (because of the filesystem sync
issue).
You should really be asking this question in a general Un*x newbie forum
rather than here.
Vince.
