Hi,
i am usinq Qmail under Solaris 2.6, with a fix internet connection.
In the past we handled incoming mails via smtproute to other MATs ( intranet
), that means we have no mail-user on my Solaris-Workstation.
We sending outgoing mails (from intranet) direct to the recipient, via SMTP.
Everything ist runing very well.
Here my question.
In the future we are forced to use another additional MTA for outgoing mails,
wich will relay our outgoing mails for us.
How can i configure my existing Qmail that outgoing mails will be relayed on
the new MTA, and that my Qmail workstation only sends outgoing mails over
this new additional host ?
thanks Jan

echo ":a.b.c.d" > /var/qmail/control/smtproutes
where a.b.c.d is the IP address of the new relay host. `man qmail-remote`
for details.

Hi,
Even running the stop process of qmail, the qpop3 process keeps alive
and running.
My code:
# begin ------ /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmaild (just start and stop - from
lifewithqmail) ------
#!/bin/sh
PATH=/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
export PATH
case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Starting qmail: svscan"
cd /var/qmail/supervise
env - PATH="$PATH" svscan &
echo $! > /var/run/svscan.pid
echo "."
;;
stop)
echo -n "Stopping qmail: svscan"
kill `cat /var/run/svscan.pid`
echo -n " qmail"
svc -dx /var/qmail/supervise/*
echo -n " logging"
svc -dx /var/qmail/supervise/*/log
echo "."
;;
# end ------ /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmaild ------
# begin ------ /var/qmail/supervise/pop3d/run ------
#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R 0 pop-3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup
myserver.domain.com \
/bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 2>&1
# end ------ /var/qmail/supervise/pop3d/run ------
The first time I run "/etc/rc.d/init.d/qmaild start", it's ok, but if I run
"/etc/rc.d/init.d/qmaild stop" and "ps ax" I still can see:
14993 pts/0 S 0:00 /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v 0 pop-3
And if I try to run "/etc/rc.d/init.d/qmaild start" again:
tcpserver: fatal: unable to bind: address already used
What is wrong?
I'm running Conectiva Linux 6.0, kernel 2.2.17. It's a brazillian
distribution based on Red Hat.
Thanks,
Ari

You are getting the pid of the env program. You must start svscan
without a wrapper like env in order to get echo $! to work.

His script is based on Dave Sill's LWQ start-up script. Assuming I'm
understanding it correctly, recording the PID of the env program is not a
problem, since it morphs into svscan. In other words, killing env will in
turn kill svscan.

Here's the real problem. Coincidentally, I ran into this same pitfall
myself just yesterday. Put "exec" in front of the tcpserver command in this
script.
My understanding is that supervise is actually only supervising the run
script. The "exec" command tells the script to turn itself into a tcpserver
process. Without the "exec", the script creates a separate tcpserver
process, which supervise cannot control.

Not at all. In fact, they are enhancing their service and making it
more clear to users by getting rid of relays.orbs.org and serving a
couple of other zones.

How do you know what the addresses of the ORBS testers are?
Greetz, Peter.
Hi folks,
I'm new to this list and as well to qmail. I'm supposed to set up
a mail-server for our company and I'm totally confused. My situation
is as follows:
We have am inernal net here with a Redhat Linux 6.2 Server. This server
is our DNS, firewall and fileserver, all in one. The Server has two
network cards, one with an internal address, say 192.168.1.3, and one
with an official address say 24.3.19.73 - this is my birthday ;-)
The server is connected to our ISP via DSL and the connection is always
open. Now I have to set up qmail on this server and I just can't figure
out how this should work. I have followed all the instructions in the
source distribution to install and do the minmal configuration. The server
shoud be named smtp.uscreen.de for smtp and mail, or pop3.uscreen.de
for pop - or should I use IMAP - I don't know. All I know is that the
server needs to be up and running on next monday.
Can anyone direct me to a poit where there is a good description on how
to set up qmail from scratch??? The information on
http://qmail.mirrors.Space.Net/top.html
weren't too helpfull. All I want to know is - where do I have to set up
the mail servers forwarding the mails to other networks - for example if
I'd want to send mail to this list from my workstation over our own
mailserver; where can I configure the pop-accounts for incoming mail
and so on.
PLEEEAAAAAASEE help me out,
thankx in advance,
chris

No, not easily.
Greetz, Peter.
I'm using 2 patchs to details the log:
qmail-pop3d.1.03-bench.patch --> it logs the POP access and size of the
messages on syslog
checkpassword-0.81-bench.patch --> it logs authencation errors on syslog
If you want I can send you the patchs. I don't remember the original URL!!!

Syslog is unreliable.
Greetz, Peter.
Unreliable is better than nothing ;)
Please Ari send me patch(es) sources or patched sources...

Hi !
can anybody help to me ?
I use rcpthost file and record
192.168.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""

This rules work OK !
But If spamers try send message to my network
from anywhere I can not block them (only via badmailfrom),
but spammer change often mail from: record
How I can allow relay only for particular IP addresses
except letters to my network ??

You already do so.
Greetz, Peter.
we sometimes receive external mails with malformed addresses based on
client-sided addressbook entries like
Name; Firstname [EMAIL PROTECTED]
(or something like that).
qmail notifies the sender that
Name;@webseek.de (which is our domain) does not exist.
i would like to prevent that completion to [EMAIL PROTECTED],
but i am want to ensure that mails sent locally (by scripts for example)
to "username" will still be delivered correctly.
also i have lots of aliases like
u.sername: username
and want those to keep working too.
so, is there a way to only disable that completion for mails received
via smtp (if thats what is needed) or some other way to solve the
problem on our side?
thanks

hello friends
i am using qmail with qmail-ldap-20000601.patch , i have
downloaded serialmail package which adds ETRN functionality to qmail
,but all the docs through which i have gone through explains how to use
it with qmail (which uses files which resides on the disks for
authentication) , is there anyone who knows or using ETRN support with
qmail-ldap,
please point me towards some links which explains this "ETRN with
qmail-ldap"
or guide me "how can i implement ETRN fuctionality with qmail-ldap"
Thanks & Regards

It claims to do no such thing. Read http://cr.yp.to/serialmail.html
Hi,
I've installed the patch of qmail-smtpd-auth-0.26 and it not working.
I'm running smtp with tcpserver:
#!/bin/sh
QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaild`
NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild`
MAXSMTPD=20
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 2000000 \
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -p -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c "$MAXSMTPD" \
-u "$QMAILDUID" -g "$NOFILESGID" 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd \
/bin/checkpassword /bin/true /bin/cmd5checkpw /bin/true 2>&1
How can I test it like checkpassword and POP:
# /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup blah /bin/checkpassword pwd
+OK <...@blah>
user Frodo
+OK
pass Friend
-ERR authorization failed
???????
ps aux
will display all the processes and the % of memory in use.

did you try telneting to ports 25 and 110 on the machine. those are the
standard smtp and pop3 ports. try typing ps -aux for a more detailed report.

yes I can telnet ports 25 and 110 on the machine
but I can't see some daemons which qmail-smtpd,qmail-pop3d, etc, when I type
as "ps aux | grep qmail"

How about "ps auxww | grep qmail" in case it's off the edge?

Looks like you're running two instances of tcpserver, so this is normal.
Keep in mind that it's actually tcpserver that is the resident daemon
process; tcpserver will create instances of qmail-smtpd and qmail-pop3d as
needed, when requests come in.
For kicks, try making a connection to port 25 or port 110 and then do a
process list. You should see an instance of qmail-smtpd or qmail-pop3d
running then.
---Kris Kelley
Look at those lines that start with tcpserver (thats the program you are
actually running) tcpserver runs the qmail processes.
Looks for the process as you have a port 25 or 110 session open and you will
see.

Hi all,
I have set up a qmail server following the instructions in LWQ.
It works now.
I have also added vpopmail for virtual domain support.
pop3d runs, but it is the testing stage.
I would like to have a comfortable start-up and logging like qmail with svc.
My questions as follows:
Has anybody included the startup of the pop3d in the qmail startup-skript
(the one with start, stop, stat...) of LWQ?
How to run the qmail-po3d with the supervise/svcscan of daemontools?
Has anybody set this up, so that I don't have to fight with the options?
Under which user is it recommended to run the pop3d?
Thats all!
Thx for every answer!
Regards,
Marcus

I created a new directory under /var/qmail/supervise, called qmail-pop3d.
This directory, and the scripts within, are very similar to
/var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd. The qmail-pop3d/run script invokes
tcpserver using Dave Sill's pop3d script in LWQ. The qmail-pop3d/log/run
script invokes multilog which stores its log files in /var/log/qmail/pop3d.
Don't forget to set the sticky bit on /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3d, and
also don't forget to "exec" commands in your scripts (see my last message).
Once I set up these directories, I was finished. The standard LWQ start-up
script will start and stop qmail-pop3d at the same time as qmail-smtpd and
qmail proper, thanks to the wonder that is svscan.

Hi folks - its me again.
I found the document very usefull so far, but now I wonder how
and when I should apply the patches to the sourcetree. I need
the qmail-pgsql-latest.patch and the checkpassword-pgsql-latest.patch
in my environment and as well I think I gonna use Mail2DB for
my qmail installation. I'd like to know if I should try a normal
install first or if I should apply all the patches and enhance-
ments at once and the do a complete install.
Has anyone a tip for me???
Second: I tried to apply the qmail-pgsql-latest.patch to the qmail-
sources but I seem to do something wrong because when I do:
patch qmail-pgsql-latest.patch
nothing happens. In the patch the first line tells sopmething like:
diff -ruN qmail-1.03/Makefile qmail-pgsql/Makefile
this I don't nderstand because all I have is the patchfile and the qmail-
source.
Please help again...

Run a normal install first. When you're familiar with qmail and Unix, start
doing the advanced stuff.

If you're going to do this, you should really know how patch works.

I would strongly recommend you try a vanilla qmail install first. Something
like what Dave Sill has documented in "Life with qmail" at www.lifewithqmail.org
would probably be ideal.
Once you are familiar with running an MTA (in general) and how to go about
managing qmail (in particular), then you may want to consider adding extra
functionality in the form of source patches.

This isn't how you use `patch`. Read the documentation for patch for more
details. However, if you don't know how to use `patch`, you may be in over
your head for a qmail/Postgres installation.

I have a running qmail-1.03 system (on FreeBSD) and I'm getting a very
strange problem receiving mail from users on sympatico.ca
I see a qmail-smtpd process and a qmail-queue process for each
incoming connection, but these just sit there, not doing anything. I
presume they're timing out after a really long time.
I used to be running rblsmtpd under tcpserver, and I've taken out both
and am now running a (known good) configuration under inetd.
Mail receiving works from ALL other domains, but I have never
successfully received mail from sympatico under my qmail.
Now, at work, the qmail server (which is behind a cisco pix firewall)
has no trouble with sympatico things, and I'm thinking that the
difference there is that the pix prevents an EHLO handshake.
I've recorded a session on the problem server with recordio, and here
is the result:
737 > 220 xyzzy.orange-carb.org ESMTP^M
737 < EHLO tomts7-srv.bellnexxia.net^M
737 > 250-xyzzy.orange-carb.org^M
737 > 250-PIPELINING^M
737 > 250 8BITMIME^M
737 < MAIL FROM:<>^M
737 > 250 ok^M
737 < RCPT TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>^M
737 > 250 ok^M
737 < DATA^M
737 > 354 go ahead^M
After this point, the session does nothing, seemingly forever or for a
long time. The socket is still open... netstat reports:
tcp 0 0 xyzzy.smtp tomts7.bellnexxi.6443 ESTABLISHED
The question is, why doesn't sympatico start sending data? It has the
go ahead...
Has anyone else out there noticed problems receiving from sympatico?
That server claims to be running InterMail
(InterMail vM.4.01.03.00 201-229-121) for receiving anyway... Are
there problems with InterMail?
Any hints? If you want to test yourself it works even with
bounces. Just mail to something like [EMAIL PROTECTED] and
see if you get a bounce back.

Hi all,
first off, yes, I'm quite aware that this subject has been discussed
at various times during the last couple of years. I am also aware of
the existence of Richard's domain-concurrency-patch and of its
drawbacks - and its removal from his website... ;(
Having spent numerous hours looking through this list's archives
and the qmail.org site, I still haven't found any mention of other
productive implementations that would effectively limit qmail-remote
concurrency on a per domain (or per MX or per IP - either would do
just as well) basis for the running qmail-send instance.
Is there such an implementation apart from Richard's patch?
If there isn't: Is there at least a consensus among developers about
the strategy? I've got a couple of ideas of my own and I've come
across a couple on the list, but I haven't found a summation article
or something of that type on the subject.
On his current website, Richard writes that the patch is
"not available, better options on www.qmail.org"
I can't seem to find those better options - at least not ones that
would have the effect I'm trying to achieve. Could you please give me
a pointer if I'm missing something here?
Cheers,
Michael

Maybe he's got better things to than build/install/configure/test
qmail on a platform that might not work well or at all with
qmail. Some failure modes are subtle and wouldn't show up in normal
testing.

Indeed. Would it not have been easier to just ignore his question if
you didn't know the answer?

Sure, use VERP's, and in the VERP .qmail file, append the offending
address to the list of bouncing addresses.

Run this to start your load balancing:
perl -e'chdir"/var/control/";while(1){sleep(1);system "echo :MLM${\(++$n%4 + 1)}>sr_";
rename "sr_","smtproutes"}'
you might want to change the sleep interval to something higher.
Or change your relays to MLM0,1,2,3 so you can leave out the +1

Hi,
(btw I have the daemontools installed)
Are there any tools or scripts out there that do the following:
- let you type in an email address (from: field) of a spammer
- parse through the qmail qsend logs to find the email address, then parse
through the qsmtp logs to retrieve the IP address of the person who used
this from: field ?

This information is recorded in the Received: header which qmail inserts
in every message it handles. You don't need to parse any logs to retrieve it.

OK, well thanks to a response from Markus Stumpf, it turns out that it
was a buffering problem. With gawk I can put an "fflush()" after the
print statement; with mawk I can use the "-W interactive" option. HTH
somebody at some point. ;-)
Anyway one other question if anyone happens to know how recordio works:
I am trying to call tcpserver/qmail-smtpd like this:
exec softlimit -m 4000000 tcpserver -x /usr/local/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -R -u
1002 -g 1001 0 25 recordio qmail-smtpd 2>&1 | setuidgid nobody mawk -W
interactive '{if ($2 != "<" && $3 ~ /^4|5[0-9][0-9]/)
{print LINE "\n" $0} else LINE = $0}' | setuidgid qmaill multilog t
/var/log/smtpd-err &
I know that looks huge and nasty. ;) But it works "most of the time."
Here is the deal: I am trying to ignore all smtp i/o UNLESS my smtpd
sends a 4## or 5## response code to the remote client; in that case, I
want to log the error line AND the input line before it (the one that
caused the error).
It DOES work with "normal" SMTP. The problem is, I have patched qmail
to support TLS, and when a message comes in from a client that also
supports TLS, it is unable to come through -- the client times out
because recordio hangs on the non-ASCII input it gets from the TLS
client.
Is there any way to make recordio work here? Or is there another
program with a similar purpose which I could use in its place?

Hello;
I recently installed Qmail on a dedicated server.... I
want to use qmail to send out email
to my double optin list.... (no spam here) I compiled
qmail with 200 concurrent connections
and also created the nessecary control files... But it
still took 3-4 hours to email my 48,000
members.... Is this normal, or is there any tricks to push out
more???
Thank you!

Insufficient info. Read www.qmail.org -- there's a section on large servers.
Then tell us exactly what hardware you have, what kind of I/O subsystem and
disk /var/qmail/queue is on, what disk you're logging to, how you're logging
(splogger, multilog, etc).

I am not trying to send a bunch of email (aka spam). I am trying to
receive a bunch of email (aka spam) and let users pop/imap it. Using the
perdition (search freshmeat) imap/pop proxy I think I can have multiple
pop/imap servers with users assigned to each one and pass the user off to
the correct one according to a dbm/ldap/whatever lookup. Now the problem
is how do I get email addressed to a particular user onto the correct
server? Say I want all email for users with names from a-m to go to
server1 and m-z to server2?
I've searched the archives and can't find anything conclusive.
I do have a perl script wrapping qmail-queue which does some basic mail
filtering. I suppose I could alter the envelope "to" address appropriately
to send it to the correct machine but I am wondering if there is any more
elegant way to accomplish this.

Well the simplest way is to have one machine act as the gateway for all
mail and create alias files to forward the mail onto the second machine. I
used a simple perl script from a flat file to create the .qmail alias's.
Or am I misunderstanding the question.

Hello. I have been reading over Richard Blum's book Running Qmail and all
the docs that distribute as well as the FAQs on the qmail.org and DJB's
site and I doubt this is incredibly difficult but I can't find a straight
answer anywhwere so perhaps you gurus can tell me...
I want to use maildir format for everyone's mailboxes but I don't want to
put them under /home ... i want to put them under /mail which is
physically on the mailserver (/home is not) and is faster and emptier than
/home.
is there a system-wide way to specify a default path to a maildir? I
suppose I could put a symbolic link in everyone's home directory to
/mail/$USER but that seems sloppy and breakable.
ideas? thank you for your input.

Well, since the .qmail file specifies where to deliver mail, and in the
default setup contains "./Maildir/", why not just have it contain
"/mail/joe_user/"
Of course, yor useradd script or whatever would have to 1) create the
.qmail file, and 2) call maildirmake with the proper path. And if you
have problems, remember how particular qmail is about Maildir permissions
and ownership. Also, putting the maildir in a non-standard location may
confuse mail clients like Pine as well as POP3 servers that don't read the
.qmail file

You could configure your default delivery target (first argument to
qmail-start) to be procmail, and have the default system procmailrc
deliver to /mail/$USER/ Maildirs, I believe. I don't use procmail, though,
so I'm not an expert at that.

Well, I'm the president of our local LUG (http://www.leap-cf.org) and
I surely do waive newbies off of Redhat 7.0. Today, we steer
beginners to Mandrake 7.2 for desktops. If you are going to put up
a server and you are a newbie, we suggest Redhat 6.2 only
because the hardening scripts from Bastille work on it but the
Bastille scripts do not yet work correctly on RH7.0. Also, it takes
quite some updating on RH7.0 to get it so it can compile a lot of
things. Something a newbie is probably not going to relish.
My suggestions are from experience, not guessing.
If you are not a newbie, then it's a whole different game.

Is it possible to have users send email only after they've been
POP3-authenticated. For example, if I want to send an email, I would have
to check my mail first..then for a duration for like 2 or 3 minutes, I can
send my email. The reason I want this is because I do not want to have an
open relay and my users want to send/check their mail from home. I looked
at Mr.Guenter's relay-ctl, but it seems to lack directions. I do not
understand how to set it up. I installed qmail according to Dr. Bernstein's
INSTALL direction, so I did not use tcpserver (daemontools). Can someone
help me out?

Bruce
