Finally -- the error message was for root and not for eric...
There's probably nothing wrong with eric's mailbox but qmail cannot find
a way to deliver mail to root (which happens to be an alias to eric).
Do you have a /var/qmail/users/assign and does it say anything about
root?? Do you need qmail-users (I use it primarily for NFS)??
Check file permissions.
Have you tried if other aliases (eg ~.alias/.qmail-postmaster) work??

OK, so delivery is going to the right place. Sounds like user alias
cannot read ~alias/.qmail-root. What's your output of:
user@host:$ ls -l ~alias/.qmail-root
-rw-r--r-- 6 root qmail 19 Jan 29 17:41 /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-root
Mine is shown above, elided spaces a bit to fit linewraps. ;)

Well, a few of you got the correct answer; but I'm afraid you have to be
more specific:
Eric, just add these lines to your /var/qmail/users/assign file:
=alias:alias:1002:102:/var/qmail/alias:::
+alias-:alias:1002:102:/var/qmail/alias:-::
and make sure you end the assign file with a line that just has a dot on
it and there is no other line in the file with just a dot.
To process this new assign file, do:
qmail-newu
and you should be all set to go.
BTW, just keep those alias files as the username you're trying to
forward to ('eric') to reduce overhead resouce usage.

The OP never mentioned usign users/assign, IIRC. You're quite possibly
correct, but if so the OP didn't give us necessary information -- if
users/assign is not populated, ~alias/.qmail-* is checked for any
non-matching local user.
To the OP -- if you populated users/assign, that was information we
needed to know. If you don't have /var/qmail/users/assign, how about
ownership of /var/qmail/alias?? Does alias own his home directory?
When you're done debugging, just 'eric' or '&eric' will do nicely for
the contents of ~alias/.qmail-*. Just trying to eliminate the basics --
seen some people point 'me' at a remote domain. ;)
P.S. If you populated users/assign, please let me know (off-list if you
like). I always use virtual domains, not users/assign, but I should have
though of it...

It does give me the 'timestamp qp pid' thing when I send a message
thru it... Looks like heavily patched, or maybe old qmail.
Greetz, Peter.
i think the latter is correct. this is my fault; i'm responsible for
setting up our secondary, and the admin who set up our primary told me
that it was qmail-1.03. it's definitely qmail, but must be an older
version.
thanks-

http://cr.yp.to/qmail.html has a list (at the bottom) of what's so
good about qmail.
Greetz, Peter.
I'm trying to set up a spam-trap account as follows:
~/alias/.qmail-15dmziMUy
nospam-hash
~/.qmail-hash-default
so that mail to 15dmziMUy-foo will get delivered to nospam, with plans to
put filters into .qmail-hash-default in the future to bounce extensions I
no longer want deliverered because they've been used for spam. The problem
is that the extentions to the alias seem to be ignored, because I get a
bounce saying "no mailbox by that name" when trying to deliver to
15dmziMUy-foo.
Am I doing something wrong? Has anyone else gotten something like this to
work?

Try .qmail-15dmziMUy-default instead.

It doesn't work, regardless of whether I put it in ~alias or $HOME. I
still get "no mailbox."
It works fine if I forward to a real user. The point is that I want to
forward it to another dot-qmail extension.

Hmmm . . . tricky. Thinking back on my experience with RedHat (which,
by the way, I must say I very much dislike. My rule of thumb: run
Slackware on anything less than a P3, Mandrake on anything greater, and
TurboLinux if you want to have fun. =) ) You are right trying to use
pop-3 instead of pop3 (thanks to Red Hat's seeming ability to aim
towards non-standards); but I wonder what is running there that the
address is already in use for? Do these:
cat /etc/inetd.conf | grep pop
and
cat /etc/services | grep pop
and post the results. We'll go from there.

this seems to work, in that it doesnt bounce.

But it is not getting delivered. It doesnt bounce to the sendor, local or

That's all? No more info in maillog about this msg?
Have You got .qmail file in user foobar1 home dir? Path in assign file
point to .qmail file, You shoud put for ex. ./Maildir/ into it.
Also check permissions... i need more info to help You.
Anyway, in my system catch-all works fine in way i'd described
on the list, so use my private e-mail adress to coresponding
about your problem.

put ./Maildir/ in .qmail file (not ./Maildir)
and check if qmail is configured to use Maildir (/var/qmail/rc file)

Did you run qmail-newu after that?
Also, could you please mail to just the list? I'm on it so I'm
receiving your responses twice, right now.
Greetz, Peter.
Hi,
I'm trying to get qmail running under redhat 7. I installed qmail via the
'life with qmail' page and it appears to be running fine. However, in
attempting some of the tests in 'TEST.deliver', I noticed that there is
nothing about qmail being written to /var/log/syslog.
For instance, when logged in as user 'todd,' I do:
echo to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject
The mail is sent successfully, but nothing is written to syslog. In fact,
this message that should be initially appearing in syslog is not, either:
qmail: status: local 0/10 remote 0/20
The only thing unusual about my OS installation that I can imagine might
cause this is that I installed bastille-linux, but I can't find anything in
there that looks like it could be causing this, apart from some lines it
added to /etc/syslog.conf that aren't totally clear to me:
# Log additional data to the Alt-F7 and Alt-F8 screens (Pseudo TTY 7 and 8)
*.info;mail.none;authpriv.none /dev/tty7
authpriv.* /dev/tty7
*.warn;*.err /dev/tty7
kern.* /dev/tty7
mail.* /dev/tty8
thanks,

If you set things up like "Life with qmail" tells you, then you don't use
syslog to log.
Look in /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-send/log/main for logs, which will have been
put there by multilog.

Have you considered *not* using syslog and inetd? I can only recommend
to use tcpserver and daemontools. Using
<http://www.din.or.jp/~ushijima/qmail-conf.html> will be a great
help. I've put my own supvervise scripts up at
<https://mail.socha.net/cgi-bin/cvsweb/supervise/> if it helps any.

Quite true.

Actually, an LWQ install has the logs in /var/log/qmail and
/var/log/qmail/smtpd.

Hi,
I'm a newbie with qmail, so I hope you all will excuse this
newbie-question...
I'm using '.qmail' to manage a mailing-list (I just forwards each mail
to several users). I would like to add a message to each incoming mail,
before sending the mail to all subscribers of the list. Can this be
done? How?
(I don't have admin(root) - privileges on this system, just a user
account).
Thanks,
Vegard

You don't need to be root to use ezmlm. But you should ask your admin to
install it, anyway. You will like it a lot. IIRC, you will need the idx
patch to get what you're asking for. http://www.ezmlm.org/

Hi, I install qmail and configure as the My Life With Qmail document. I can
configure the selective relay and the pop. I have a problem, when we send
mail of another computer to external address (for example yahoo.com) the
SMTP server accept the mail but not send it to yahoo.com. If I send another
mail of the same server (with pine) the mail is send to yahoo. Can you help
with this?
Thank's
Carlos

What do you mean it doesn't send the mail to yahoo.com? Some log snips will
help, as well. Also your /etc/tcp.smtp file.

qmail-analog works just dandy if you can translate the timestamps from
tai64n to the fractional timestamps that qmail-analog expects. There's
various tools to do this, mentioned at www.qmail.org.

I believe Pine uses sendmail for it's MTA interface. I'm not sure
whether your RPM file replaced the default sendmail program in place or
not, so you should double-check that this is so. Just move the current
sendmail program (either in /usr/lib/sendmail or /usr/sbin/sendmail or
else try `locate sendmail`) to a backup file and then make a symbolic
link from that location to /var/qmail/bin/sendmail (adjust according to
where you installed qmail) by doing:
ln -s /var/qmail/bin/sendmail [location where you found sendmail such as
`/usr/sbin/sendmail`]

I'm going to assume you're using tcpd here. First of all, make sure you
have this line (all one one line) in your /etc/inetd.conf file:
smtp stream tcp nowait qmaild [location of tcpd such as
/usr/sbin/tcpd,
again, if you're not sure: `locate tcpd`] /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
and that you have the following in your /etc/hosts.allow file:
tcp-env: 127.0.0.1: setenv = RELAYCLIENT
tcp-env: (any other IP addresses you want to be able to relay) : setenv
= RELAYCLIENT
then send tcpd (inetd) a SIGHUP signal:
ps auxw | grep inetd
kill -SIGHUP [proccess number of inetd]

Doesn't look like you setup your control files, either, which isn't a
big deal; but it's always nice:
echo -n [your domain name/IP address here] > /var/qmail/control/me
echo -n localhost > /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts
echo -n postmaster > /var/qmail/control/doublebounceto
Judging by these problems you're having, I might guess that you didn't
read much of any manual on qmail. Try reading Life with Qmail
(http://www.lifewithqmail.org/), it's a world of help.

Greetings,
I did a setup of QMAIL using the RPM's located at:
http://www.qmail.org/rpms/
Qmail seems to be running fine, but here are my issues:
What works:
- I can do everything in the TEST.deliver & TEST.recieve
- Qmail seems to be running here is what it looks like in my processes...

************************************************
What DOESN'T WORK:
- Qmail doesn't seem to log anything at all into: maillog, messages or any
other log I can find.
- Qmail can't send a message from a form. I am using Matt's Simple form as
a test. It worked with sendmail and
now does not work with qmail. I have used the follwing paths:
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject
/usr/sbin/sendmail
/usr/lib/sendmail
I would greatly appreciate any help, ANYONE can offer. I thank you in
advance...
