Hello
We are using RH 6.2, Qmail, Vpopmail, Qmailadmin and webmin, Since we are a hosting
company we give Unix System Disk Quota for each domain.I am specifying user quota in
webmin. Is it possible to send Quota Exceeded / infomation notification by mail to
these users. As far as I know this is not possible in webmin, so can you all guide me
to an alternative solution for this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Sumith

I have to admit, I had to exercise GREAT restraint in not telling the OP

respect for the rules of the list?! (Note that OP is not stupid; more than
anything he is inconsiderate and disrespectful.)

That said, we (or the nice ones of us, anyway) try not to pick on those who
speak English as a second language. So I'll assume that English is also
*your* second language...and I won't point out that (a) we do not capitalize
arbitrary words in the English language, and (b) your sentence structure
sucks rocks.

As someone else noted, the proper setup is for your roaming users to send
their mail through the SMTP relay provided by the ISP they are using.
However, failing that, you can use a SMTP-after-POP solution. Check
www.qmail.org for pointers to these, especially Bruce Guenter's relay-ctrl.
As a secondary note, this is one of the top FAQs, is documented in Dan's FAQ,
mentioned at qmail.org, and shows up on the mailing list vritually every week
-- including at least twice this week. A quick search of the qmail list
archives would have turned up this same advice. Oh, and while I'm being
negative, please try to limit your line length -- it's a bit of a pain to quote
from your original email, because it contained 300+ character lines.

dear sirs,
i've installed qmail-1.03 on a suse-linux-host together with the daemontool
and the ucspi-tcp package according life with qmail. mail delivery on local
host works well, but delivery to remote recipients not. ( delivery from
remote sender seems to work too.)
the local host is part of a LAN which is connected via a mx-server and POP3
with the internet.
there are to error messages in the log files:
error message1: could not establish smtp connection (#4.4.1)
error message2: could not bind, address already in use?
what can i do?
many thanks to all constructive repliers

Something else (perhaps sendmail/inetd) is already listening on port 25
on your machine. Comment out any line in inetd.conf which refers to port
25 or "smtp", and restart or HUP inetd. If you have sendmail on the system,
remove it or disable it from starting, and stop/kill any running instances.

Looks like there is already an SMTP server running on your system. Do a `ps -e` and
look for sendmail. If it is there, do `/etc/rc.d/sendmail stop', then use YaST to
uninstall sendmail. If it says there are unresolved dependencies, choose continue. DO
NOT CHOOSE AUTO.

The error message means what it says: qmail is unable to establish a TCP
connection with the server at the receiving end. Try to telnet to the SMTP
port of the server at the receiving end:
telnet mailserver.domain.com 25
You should see an SMTP greeting from the other server. If you receive some
sort of time out error, and you cannot connect to the receiving server,
there is something "wrong" with the network: check routing & possible
filtering/firewalling of packets. If you can reach port 25 of the receiving
server, read on...
> error message2: could not bind, address already in use?
This leads me to believe that your qmail cannot open the socket on port 25
of your host to start listening on it. See the posts from other listmembers.
Also, on most linux machines (not sure which exactly), 'netstat -nlp' will
show a listening port and the process that's listening on it. The
process-list option doesn't work on FreeBSD (and maybe other BSDs), as far
as I can tell.

Since you are able to ftp to the machine, routing appears to be ok between
the two machines, and that indeed something is filtering out your connection
attempts. Your best bet would be to contact the person in charge of the
firewall and als him to change the config. It's perfectly possible to have
qmail relay to another server. Note that - since there is some packet
filtering going on on your network - you may also have to ask the firewall
guy to make sure that your qmail server's port 25 is accessible to any other
server you want connecting to your system. From what I understand, qmail is
running correctly on your system. You could try connecting to it via telnet
localhost 25, or from a computer on the same LAN just to make sure.

Hi All,
Two questions.
Firstly, I am running amavis with qmail successfully for roughly 15
POP3/SMTP users in the office, and all works great. However, occasionally I
need to send upwards of 20000 emails from the machine to a mailing list, and
I don't need or want those to be virus checked.
To send these mailshots I use PHP, and its mail() command, which I assume
calls the sendmail wrapper. Is there any way of pointing the sendmail
wrapper to the original qmail-send command (which I have renamed as
qmail-send-old)? Will this have the desired affect?
Secondly, is there a 'quick + easy' way of dropping attachments that are VBS
files (or at least end in .vbs) with qmail? I can just see one of our users
getting caught out by the next one..
Thanks in advance,
John

Dear People,
RNL<.Q_Q.> You will never hear
from me again. I absolutely don`t know what the "qmail-list" in fact is, but...
it was for me the postal source of many (un)fair reactions. I don`t even know
how they`ve found my e-mail address in the beginning of this >totally
out of control nonsense.< End of
Line. G.b.y.

Unless my box is broke:
220 challenger.skynetweb.com ESMTP
helo foo
250 challenger.skynetweb.com
mail from: <>
250 ok
rcpt to: <>
250 ok
DATA
354 go ahead
It allowed me to enter a null recipient, as long as the RCPT command was
issued (although with a null value). This resulted in:
@400000003a8bfcf115456d4c starting delivery 270: msg 224533 to local
@challenger.skynetweb.com
It also works if a From address is specified, for thoroughness sake. It
delivered this message on my system, although I do not know where (assuming
postmaster/mailer-daemon, since I do not have a .qmail-default). On the
other hand, I just tried it on Outlook Express 5, and it wouldn't let me
send a message without a recipient. I also tried it on some other MTAs,
just for the heck of it:
IMail for NT:
220 X1 NT-ESMTP Server mail.skynetweb.com (IMail 6.05 3879-1)
helo foo
250 hello mail.skynetweb.com
mail from: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
250 ok
rcpt to: <>
250 ok its for <>
data
354 ok, send it; end with <CRLF>.<CRLF>
Sendmail 8.9.3/Linux:
220 support.skynetweb.com ESMTP Sendmail 8.9.3/8.9.3; Thu, 15 Feb 2001
11:07:36 -0500
helo foo
250 support.skynetweb.com Hello IDENT:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

mail from: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
250 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... Sender ok
rcpt to: <>
553 <>... >
data
503 Need RCPT (recipient)
I wouldn't really call this a problem with qmail (and again, like I said, my
installation could just be broken), but I could see how it could be an
annoyance. However I don't think the MUA should really allow a null
recipient (OE 5 doesn't, Pine 4.21/RedHat doesn't, and Netscape Mail in 4.76
doesn't). Just a thought.

Hi. Forgive me if this has been addressed before - if it has, just point
me in the right direction and I'll be grateful. Anyway, here's what I need
to do with qmail:
We get email for both corporate accounts and normal user accounts. I'm
exploring moving away from our current sendmail solution to one based on
qmail (mainly because of ease and mysql support). One of the requirements
for a new solution is the ability to forward everything from
[EMAIL PROTECTED] to our corporate web server, i.e. anything that looks
like *.*@cais.com needs to go to @foo.cais.com. Does anyone have any ideas
on how this can be done?
Other than that, qmail seems to be able to handle everything else that I
need it to....
Thanks,

Okay. I checked into smtproutes. From what I can understand, this will
relay all mail going to cais.com to the corp server. This is almost what I
need - for some silly reason, my predecessors decided that there are two
types of accounts (more or less): Ones that have dots in them, and ones
that do not. So I actually need to be able to seperate out the ones that
look like [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the ones that look like
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Yeah, I know. I'd think that they'd give out different
email addresses, but for some reason they didn't. I think it's a MIS
thing.....
Thanks for the url, too. Any information I can find helps. I've already
gotten some ideas on how to duplicate other things our mail system does
from it.

let me steal from another post by pawel garbowski ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
>From qmail-queue.patch:
Appended is a patch to qmail-1.03 that causes any program that would run
qmail-queue to look for an environment variable QMAILQUEUE. If it is
present, it is used in place of the string "bin/qmail-queue" when
running qmail-queue. This could be used, for example, to add a program
into the qmail-smtpd->qmail-queue pipeline that could do filtering,
rewrite broken headers, etc. (this is my planned usage for it).
You should look at qmail-qfilter.patch too

1) It seems like qmail has been in the same version for years now. Is this
because it needs no further development or no one is working on it any more?
2) I need to have a php or perl script filter through all incoming messages
to a specific domain rather than it just doing the default delivery method.
Is this possible? If so, how?

The second option ;-)... although, many qmail users write patches, addons
etc.

Appended is a patch to qmail-1.03 that causes any program that would run
qmail-queue to look for an environment variable QMAILQUEUE. If it is
present, it is used in place of the string "bin/qmail-queue" when
running qmail-queue. This could be used, for example, to add a program
into the qmail-smtpd->qmail-queue pipeline that could do filtering,
rewrite broken headers, etc. (this is my planned usage for it).
You should look at qmail-qfilter.patch too

djb seems to think it needs no further development. Any additional
features you need can be downloaded from www.qmail.org. Few real bugs
have been discovered in qmail.
Basically, I'd run anything but a *very* busy server without any
patches.

Put
|/path/to/script
in .qmail. Done.
Greetz, Peter.
Thank you, for the very helpful information.
However I have a couple more questions, if you don't mind.
You say to put the |/path/to/script in the .qmail file. When you say the
.qmail file are you referring to individual users .qmail or is there a
parent .qmail somewhere else? (Similar to ~/.bashrc and if that doesn't
exist then it will use /etc/bashrc).
What kind of x86 computing power would it take to support 10,000 active
e-mail users?
Thank You,

Put it in the .qmail that's handling that domain. You can use
virtualdomains to let a domein be handled by a certain 'user' and it's
.qmail-default.

That really very much depends on your definition of active. Be more
clear, please :)

It's hard to come up with numbers if you just say "active", but I'll take
a stab at it.
Generally, qmail doesn't require a whole lot of resources. A qmail server
running on a simple Pentium 166 with an IDE disk can easily handle
100,000 messages a day. If you get up into the millions of messages a day,
you'll probably want to look at tuning qmail appropriately, running the
queue on it's own fast SCSI disk, putting logs on a separate disk, etc.

The lightweight IDE machine somebody else mentioned would do just
fine.
10.000 messages is about one every six seconds on average. My old
486sx25 with 24mb of ram did mail a lot faster than that (it got mail
in bursts because I dial in). Only thing you might worry about is
storage for the mail, but just space-wise. A simple IDE disk can do it
just fine performance-wise.
Greetz, Peter.
(this old 486sx25 had a 318MB SCSI-I disk that was dead slow. It never
showed problems tho, performance wise).

A Pentium 133 could handle this without even breaking a sweat.

Could you provide us with some information on the hardware and operating

on single machine (Sun EN450) and some running on multiple servers with load
balancing.

This has actually brought up a question I've been wondering about
.. what tools are there available that I can use to measure the
performance of a mail server? Ie. SMTP, POP, IMAP? This would be
extremely useful to show hard data to management about performance..
So, could anyone point me in the right direction for such tools?
Steve.

I have met the guy who wrote this stuff, he's quite clueful.
There's also a highperformance bulletin-spreader for Maildirs on his
page, and a misnamed patch to checkpassword for making it add groups a
user is in, when authenticated.

I implemented the below directions as per Uwe's directions (Thanks!)
and it seemed to work as advertised, but I received the following in
my /var/log/syslog file after the changes:
Feb 15 09:44:36 smtp01.load.com smtpd: [ID 748625 mail.info]
982259076.193065 tcpserver: warning: dropping connection, unable to print
banner: broken pipe
The connection is being made from a Win2K system to relay the mail
through a load balance mail sending queue that sits behind a Cisco
Arrowpoint. I am not sure where the problem lies, but after a while
it seems that the queue on the Win2K system just keeps building up
and not sending after a while. I don't know if anyone else is having
a problem with communication between a Microsoft SMTP server and qmail
but I would be interested in any experiences anyone has in this area.
Thanks.

That usuable means that the remote site closed the connection before
the banner could be written.
qmail-smtpd usually doesn't log this.

Only when you start respecting the rest of us, and learn how to write
e-mails.
1) No HTML. Or at least, include both text and HTML versions
2) Wrap your lines around 72 chars
3) The body of an e-mail is meant to be used for the message. The subject,
is for the subject.
4) E-mailing unrequested gibberish to anyone or any list is NOT A GOOD THING
(TM)
5) In an international environment (such as this list), use a common
language to everyone (like english)

Ha. ezmlm doesn't filter out Received when I retrieve something.
ezmlm-idx does by default. My bad :)

It's in his mails headers.
@19:45:51, 15 Feb 2001 it was 195.121.130.64 (looks like a dialup.

Yups. In this case he had something to say to me (something untrue and
unfitting, but that is secondary to the problem). He should've mailed
me in private.
I'd like to add that I don't know the guy other than from his mails to
the qmail-list :)
Greetz, Peter.
Would you people just drop this issue. We all know he made a mistake. Let's
get back to the good stuff. QMAIL. I do want to tell you I learn a lot from
this mailing list. Thanks again.

Ha. ezmlm doesn't filter out Received when I retrieve something.
ezmlm-idx does by default. My bad :)

No patches necessary. Use the qmail-users mechanism.

The postmaster account is added by default by vpopmail. You will have to
manually create a .qmail file that forwards to the specified address.

We are using qmail with relaying via pop bevore smtp.
If our clients doesn't know the 'pop bevore smtp' feature,
they normaly get the error 'sorry, that domain isn't in my list
of allowed smtp hosts.' Thats fine for some guys, but most of
the clients need the hint - please use pop bevore smtp - and
they need support, to get this solved.
So we wan't to change the error message slightly to something
more helpfull for the clients.
Is there any way to change this error message, without going into
the source code, and recompile it ?
thanks for any help.

Not currently. It would be fairly simple to patch qmail-smtpd to read that
particular error message from a file, though.

What is the easiest way to delete the mail queue?
If for example 10,000 mails are going out to qmail remote...and I want it to
stop and delete all the things in the queue how do I do
it?

The absolute easiest is to:
-stop qmail and qmail-smtpd
-rm -rf /var/qmail/queue
-cd to the qmail source directory and do `make setup check`
Alternatively, you can use qmail-queuefix instead of `make setup check`.
It's at www.qmail.org.

Once a month, I send a newsletter to approx. 350k subscribers. The
newsletters are 15-20 kb each. I've had some not-so-convenient approaches to
this earlier, but I'd like to start using our Sun Ultra5 (Solaris 7) with
qmail (patched with big-todo and big-concurrency) and ezmlm for this job. As
long as I can get most of the messages delivered within 24 hrs, I'll be a
happy little camper.
I thought I'd raise conf-split and the outbound concurrency limit, set the
appropriate resource limits (open files, max user processes -- any others?)
and then let ezmlm and qmail do their job. Am I missing something? Should
this setup be alright?

Raising conf-split is completely useless with ezmlm. ezmlm only
injects one message into the queue. Outbound concurrency is very
relevant (it will use all of this if you're lucky).
Outbound concurrency depends on having enough fd's available, and
enough memory.
Greetz, Peter.
I have a qmail server which is also running qmail-pop3d. We recently registered a
second domain name, and I would like the existing server to handle both the old and
new names (the new one is significantly shorter - which makes it easier for our
users!). This is not a virtual hosting situation - simply 2 names for the same box.
Configuring SMTP (control/rcpthosts and control/locals) was not a problem. The server
will now accept and correctly deliver messages addressed to the new domain.
POP is a problem. When I try to telnet on port 110 to the new name, I get a "could
not open connection message" (DNS is OK). I'm guessing that the solution is to change
my startup script from this:
tcpserver -v -R -H -c75 0 110 \
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup ORIGINAL.NAME \
/bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 2>&1 | \
/usr/local/bin/multilog t s1000000 n20 /var/log/pop3
to this:
tcpserver -v -R -H -c75 0 110 \
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup ORIGINAL.NAME NEW.NAME \
/bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 2>&1 | \
/usr/local/bin/multilog t s1000000 n20 /var/log/pop3
Could anyone confirm that or point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
Mike

Is qmail-smtpd (or rather, its tcpserver instace) bound to only a single
address? Does the new name have a different address than the old name?

conf-split should be a *prime* number.
Also, a large conf-split only makes sense if you have more than 20.000
messages *in your queue*. This won't usually happen.
> I also went ahead a made the file system of /var/qmail/queue xfs..
That might be a good idea indeed. It also takes away most of the
reasons for a big conf-split.
Greetz, Peter.
Is there anyway to get qmail-clean to clean up my queue on unsuccessful
emails every 10 minutes instead of 36 hours?
I was also thinking that sense I am using this server only to relay messages,
would I need to running qmail-lspawn, qmail-local, and qmail-inject?

That's not what qmail-clean does.

No, not really. qmail-inject is not a daemon, tho. You can set local
concurrency to 0, but I wouldn't care about it. qmail-lspawn is small
and won't ever do anything, and no qmail-local will ever be spawned.
Greetz, Peter.
How come the conf-split should be prime?
I've read it and (unfortunately) repeatedly ignored.
And does it hamper things greatly by it not being so (yet)?

/usr/share/mk/bsd.port.mk is including /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk in line 2,

Just a couple SSL questions.
Is there anyway to implement into the qmail pop3d? If so where can I find
some good docs on it?
I looked at Frederik Vermeulen's patch for SSL, and couldn't really make
much sense of it. First is it possible to have qmail-smtp answer to both
ssl and non-ssl requests? If not, then ignore rest of message. Second,
where can I find some good documentation on implementing this patch?

Hi guys,
A search about qmail in bugtraq (www.securityfocus.com) returned me a DoS
about lots of RCPTs. I tried the exploits and qmail stayed alive.
First of all, is this vulnerability true?
And more strange. Why was this bugtraq entry updated this month to say that
qmail 2.0 is also vulnerable? Wtf is this qmail 2.0?

Note that Dan doesn't consider those to be qmail bugs. He considers
the proper fix to be using softlimit, which is easy to do when running
qmail under tcpserver. If you install according to Life with qmail,
you will not be vulnerable to these attacks.

Hi,
I setup freebsd4.2 with qmail in my intranet, I used
192.168...IP address; and I have
a DNS server with 202.96...IP address to provide name service
to dialup users(outside), the FB and DNS are connected with a router. I hope
dialup users could send and receive
mail. When they dialed up, they could receive mail
smoothly, but the sending was very slowly, although it
still works. The dialup user automaticly got an 202.96...address.
I was not sure where is the problem, the DNS, qmail, or
router?
Someone said I must assign my FB an legal address, was that
true?
Please get me some explain and how to resolve the
problem.
Thanks a lot.

we have been hacked on this end and I have lost both my main server and
backup and the site for downloading it seems to be down. Please mail it to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
I am in a fix and need all the help I can get on this one.

We currently manage a qmail setup with close to 1 million virtual accounts
handling 3+ million incomming messages daily. Everything if fully redudant
(minimum of 3 servers for everything) having several SMTP, POP, IMAP, SQL,
LDAP and NFS servers all hooked up via fiber connections. This setup works
great and handles the load great but several of our customers have lately
been complaining about the speed of mailbox access. We have narrowed the
problem down to the amount of time needed to extract the headers from
thousands of messages stored within a single folder. One customer has 2gigs
of mail and it is taking more then 10 minutes to generate data for the
headers request. (telling them to delete some is _NOT_ a valid responce)
This message was written to see if there is currently a project underway (or
to compile a listing of ideas for such a beast) to integrate an envelope
(meaning user_delivered_to, folder, to, cc, from, subject, size, delivery
date, attachments flag [yes/no], normal maildir flags) extraction
"subservice" into qmail. This would also need to tie into both POP and IMAP
to maintain it. It should update a SQL database with the envelope
information for each and every message delivered localy. If POP or IMAP does
anything, this should also be reflected in the SQL database. If they need to
do sorts or listings, they should do so via the database (unless it is
eaiser and faster to do it by its self).
The reason I would like to see this information extracted is primarly do to
a propritary webmail infastructure being developed. It is much faster for us
to issue SQL commands to generate listings then IMAP or POP commnads. I
relize that this will make a mess when it comes to sync'ing everything but I
am unable to think of a better way to approach this.
I would like to hear what you think reguarding this matter. Do you have a
different approach: tell me. Do you know of a way of doing this: tell me. I
really do want to hear from you.

Hi all,
When I was watching mrtg on my web browser in class for qmail-concurrency,
I didn't get a picture displayed (value was 0.0, btw), and when I got home,
I logged into
my linux box and did a ps ax, and found the following line.
8246 ttyp0 SW 0:00 [tcpserver]
instead of what I might normally expect to see in a ps aux
8157 ttyp0 S 0:00 tcpserver -H -R -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c100 -u501
-g60 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
My mail system appeared to be operating properly, and the only change that
I had
made is the use of amavis-0.2.1 and NAI's anti-virus suite for linux to
scan inbound
and outbound emails. Is there a reason for concern, i've never seen that
behavior
before in qmail?

That means the tcpserver process got swapped out. That is normal.

Maybe the name in question really couldn't be looked up, because of a failure
of some name server or another. There's nothing you can do to solve that
problem, assuming your DNS resolution in general is working.

Hi all,
I was never fully
comfortable with Sendmail so I've decided
to go with Qmail 1.03 ... I've
followed the instructions in the .pdf
documentation and have everything setup
ok .
I am not so sure about the POP3 bit . Thus far i had been
using
the default pop3 daemon thru inetd .
Two quick questions
:
i) What POP3 daemon should i use ? [ Mbox OR Maildir ]
ii) Usermail
directories are in /var/spool/mail ...SO
What can i do, so that i do not
lose any existing mail ?
A slightly detailed reply would be very
welcome.
Sincerely
Anurag

Hi,
I setup freebsd4.2 with qmail in my intranet, I used
192.168...IP address; and I have
a DNS server with 202.96...IP address to provide name service
to dialup users(outside), the FB and DNS are connected with a router. I hope
dialup users could send and receive
mail. When they dialed up, they could receive mail
smoothly, but the sending was very slowly, although it
still works. The dialup user automaticly got an 202.96...address.
I have set up an MX record in my dns file and I point to FB with an 'A'
record.
I was not sure where is the problem, the DNS, qmail, or
router?
Someone said I must assign my FB an legal address, was that
true?
Please get me some explain and how to resolve the
problem.
Thanks.
Sincerely

ok - Yes - how
and NO - why not ??
Thanks
Tonino
> ok - Yes - how
Put a the following line into /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-postmaster:
#
Nothing else, only the hash sign.
> and NO - why not ??
Because every domain that receives mail hast to have a "postmaster"
account/alias where someone may be contacted.
To cite RFC822:
This standard specifies a single, reserved mailbox address
(local-part) which is to be valid at each site. Mail sent to that
address is to be routed to a person responsible for the site's
mail system or to a person with responsibility for general site
operation. The name of the reserved local-part address is:
Postmaster
so that "Postmaster@domain" is required to be valid.
Note: This reserved local-part must be matched without sensi-
tivity to alphabetic case, so that "POSTMASTER", "postmas-
ter", and even "poStmASteR" is to be accepted.
Regards, Frank

OK - understood - thanks

Because of having been offline for six weeks in December/January I
totally missed the QMTP/MXPS discussions. After some reading in the
archive I installed Johan Almqvists patch to enable QMTP through MXPS
(I had running qmtpd for a long while).
I just checked the logs and found that not a single message arrived
through QMTP. Then I looked at a.mx.list.cr.yp.to if there is a qmtp port.
It seems that Dan doesn't run QMTP - even for receiving.
I think Dan's lists would be a good real life test for QMTP/MXPS - so does
anybody know why Dan isn't running QMTP?
Regards, Frank

No, we don't know.
However, if you subscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of
[EMAIL PROTECTED], you'll get the list over QMTP.
http://www.dataloss.nl/services/ for the whole set of lists I offer
with QMTP support.

Root never receives mail on qmail systems. You have to define an alias for
root that delivers to an unpriviledged account.
The error means either that no maildir exists at the users home directory
or that it's permissions prevent qmail-local to chdir into it.
See "man maildirmake" for creation of maildirs. You might want to make a
maildir in your new user template (/etc/skel on many systems).
Regards, Frank
Could you please show me how to setup vacation for qmail that use
vmailmgr or vpopmail?
Thank you for your help.
