I'm writing a patch for qmail, and have some problems... I've tried to do some debugging (using gdb), but though i compile with "-g" flag (set in conf-cc and conf-ld) gdb still says: (gdb) file qmail-remote Reading symbols from qmail-remote...(no debugging symbols found)...done. Do you know why is that happening to me? ;) Any hints? PS. Small test program which i wrote (few lines) compiles with debugging and gdb works on him... -- Daniel Fenert --==> [EMAIL PROTECTED] <==-- ====-P o w e r e d--b y--S l a c k w a r e-===-ICQ #37739641-==== "Caution: Cape does not enable user to fly."

Hello I want to secure against spam my mail server. I found the "tarpit+relaymailfrom.patch" but I don't know what I have to do with this file. What is the procedure to use "tarpit+relaymailfrom.patch". Thanks for your help.

So, I have qmail-qfilter running using the deny-filetypes script included in the package. I set it up as per the README, in the smtp rules files. A.B.C.D:allow,RELAYCLIENT="",QMAILQUEUE="/usr/local/bin/(script that calls deny-filetypes" The problem is that it denies files from being sent BY my users, but it doesn't deny incoming files from the world TO my users. The relaying rules aren't being invoked I suppose. Any ideas on how I can use qmail-qfilter to screen incoming attachments another way, or how to change my relaying setup to grab them? Thanks, Andy
I am trying to install qmail on a fresh RH 7 system. I have followed (I think) the instructions at qmail.org (INSTRUCTIONS.var-qmail) but I can't get past "rpm --rebuild qmail-1.03-102memphis.src.rpm". It implies a syntax error because all I get is the rpm help dialog. I have check the requirements according to the instructions: 1. installed libraries: ld-linux.so.2 libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.0) libresolv.so.2(GLIBC_2.0) 2. installed make 3. downloaded and untarred "var-qmail-1.03-2-gnu-linux-i686.tar.gz" to a temporary directory I have a somewhat limited background so there is something obvious I'm not seeing. Can anyone help me or direct me to a set of more complete directions. Thanks in advance for any help, Bill

The mail should be sent to a @gmx.net account. nslookup querying the local cache worked for www.gmx.net and also the dnsmx-lookup for this domain. It seems that there are no problems with the queries itself, but with qmail doing the queries. Any ideas? What should I check? Best regards, Marcus -- Sent through GMX FreeMail - http://www.gmx.net

Hi everybody!!! There is a further development on the case with the strange (at least for me) behaviour of some smtp servers ( for example usa.net servers) not being able to send mail to my poor qmail1.03 server. I made an account on usa.net send my self a letter and finnaly it bounced back. It is amazing but they use qmail too!!!!!!!!!!!

I did post a log from the failed session made with recordio. One can see that the remote site seize transmition after issuing: "DATA?" and my site responds with:"354 go ahead?". My site does not receive anything else and qmail-smtp timeouts. For example see session with pid 2826. I am posting the session log as attachment as well, because my web based client eats the "" signs. If the problems is in the remote site violeting the "rn", what can I do.

Use recordio with qmail-smtpd to record an example of the faulty session. If the resulting log doesn't mean anything to you, post it here.

Hi, I was using Red Hat 6.2, and qmail as Mta. My goal is to take virus aware from my mail server, so, what's the best choice ? 1) as virus-scanner ? amavis or qmail-scanner ? both seem to work fine... 2) as antivirus ? H+BEDV AntiVir, AVP, Sophos Sweep,or McAfee ViruScan ? I used avp for a while (and I find it very efficient), but doesn't know the other ones... thanks in advance...

How about using the envelope sender (ie. return-path)? I missed the original message, so maybe this isn't really applicable, but in general you should take mailing lists into account. On most mailing lists, including this one, the right return address is not found in any of those headers. Of course, one should try to avoid sending auto-replies to list emails at all, but chances are you'll never be able to detect with 100% accuracy all list emails, so should count on it happening sometime.

My first rule would be never ever send one if you're not in the To (and possibly Cc - but that's debtable) headers. That's a method that doesn't have 100% coverage, as some of the daily-mailings from less-wise operations like Flonetwork (who send the techweb.com daily mailing) tend to have your address in the To: header (and they don't put any Precedence headers, or anything that might give you a clue). But it's a good start. James.
Let me just get straight to what I'm trying to do and see if somebody can help me figure out how to do it. I'm setuping up a server to do virtual domain and email hosting for customers. I'm assuming that 90% of the customers using my system will want to do just POP3 email for their domains, however, I want to make it possible for the other 10% to use a shell account to access their email. Rather than make this a necessarily either or situation, I want to make it so that if they have POP3 email accounts, their mail will be default be delivered to those, but everything else will go into their standard system account. Because I want to make this system compatible with Pine, elm, etc, I would prefer to use the old mailbox format for the system accounts, but use Maildir, or MAilbox, for the POP3 accounts. So here's what I need. I want to find a way to using a simple POP3 daemon, that can handle both Mailbox and Maildir formats, and will look to a customers system (/var/mail) box if their username in the POP3 protocol is just a username, or in their virtual POP3 box if their username is '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. I realize this is probably a horribly complicated system, but I think it would help my service appeal to both the power (shell & POP3 -- like me) user, and more standard (POP3-only) users. Any ideas on how to set this up would be greatly appreciated. Ben

May be a number of things. How much space do you have left in your /var partition (if that is where qmail is installed)? I would check there first, then look into any possible permissions issues. -K > From: denis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Date: Mon, 26 Feb 2001 14:44:44 -0800 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: What does this mean. > > Hi, > > I have been getting this message in my logfile: > > qmail: [numbers] alert: unable to append to bounce message HELP! > sleeping... > > qmail seems to be doing this every 10 seconds or so. > > Any advice or pointers to the right direction for information will be > apreachiated > >
I have been given the task to send out 2 million emails in a 12 hour time window. All the emails will be sent remotely, to a list of users of which is 90% accurate (I figure 10% of the emails will bounceback because of bad email addresses) I have all the bandwidth I need (servers are located in co-location) and will be sorting the email list by domain name.My initial idea is to have 2 dedicated qmail servers, ( Redhat Linux 6.2, Pentium 600, 500Megs RAM, IDE drives) configured with a concurrency limit of 400. Other than that, the qmail install will be out of the box.Can I reasonably meet this rate ? Do you have any suggestions?Thanks in advance

I'm assuming you are using ezmlm or something similar for this. Anything else would be suicide. Greetz, Peter.

It largely depends on the actual number of bounces and where the remote machines are (if you're sending to a lot of international addresses, for example). 2 million recipients in 12 hours means that (based on my experience) you'll be running at peak capacity of two high-end machines. If you *HAVE* to hit the 12-hour window, I'd recommend you look at a third machine or possibly thinking about ways to take advantage of some tricks to get a bit better performance.

Hello, I using qmail-1.03 and I compiled checkpassword-0.90 and vpopmail-4.9.8-1. But it will not work with qmail-pop3d. my boot script : #!/bin/sh HOST=`192.168.0.100` CHKPASS="/home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw" COMMAND="/var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d" exec tcpserver -R -H 0 110 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup \ $HOST $CHKPASS $COMMAND Maildir & I make a telnet to my localhost to port 110, and the qmail respond me..... I put the user name : arqam , and the passwd : password But I get some error "ERR this user has no $HOME/Maildir". What's wrong? telnet 192.168.0.100 110 Trying 192.168.0.100...

The user has no $HOME/Maildir/. Seriously -- the error message tells you exactly what's wrong. However, it does make the following assumptions: -you know what a Maildir is -since you've chosen to use qmail-pop3d, which only supports Maildirs, it assumes you've properly created Maildirs for your users So, did you create a Maildir for the user? Is it located in their home directory, and named "Maildir"? Does the user own their home directory and the Maildir?

After installing this package, I found that I could not login to check my email (ERR: authorization failed). I had to uncomment the pop-3 and smtp lines in inetd.conf to be able to connect to the server at all (these had been commented out during by the installation routine). I am trying to use this package so that I can relay from my home workstation in California with a dynamic IP address. Any advice?

You can't run it out of inetd. Change your pop3 configuration to use tcpserver as documented. > I am trying to use this package so that I can relay from my home workstation > in California with a dynamic IP address. > > Any advice? Send your mail through your ISP's smarthost -- that's what they're for. relay-ctrl is not needed for most situations, and this appears to be one of them.

Hi all... Has anyone installed "Time::HiRes" for Qmail-Scanner (http://qmail-scanner.sourceforge.net/) on Redhat7.0 ? I'm finding that if I try and install the modual as an rpm it wants an older version of perl. If manually install "Time::HiRes" the ./configure can't find the modual Any suggestions ? Regards Dennis
Hi everyone, I'm administering a service provider mail server. Some companies that are using our company Internet service also asks about mail buffering for their own mail server, so : 1. in case their mail server is down, all their emails go to my mail server. 2. every email that goes to their address go first to my mail server and they periodically download it. What I want to ask is: HOW to create that buffering thing ? Do I have to add every user for every domain(which will be a lot of user)? I'm using Qmail with Vpopmail. Thanks! Chrisanthy

With a standard qmail install it's as simple as: Add their domain to /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts They must produce an appropriate MX record in their DNS information which points to your mail server. I don't know what addition complexities vpopmail might add, but I suspect this should still work.

Not necessary. They will be queued up in qmail's mail queue until they can be delivered to their mail server (or until the message has been in your queue too long and the message bounces).

What's fastforward do? I've read its documentation but still don't understand. :) It says that it handles qmail forwarding, and can create forwarding database based on virtual-domain tables. Does it also handle the buffering for virtual-domain? no need to add user? Thanks! Chrisanthy
