Hi, Did you put your domain into the "me" file? You can try to do it! Another thing that you could try to do would be to put into the .qmail-alias file the following text: &[EMAIL PROTECTED] Cleiton

Vince, 1) Thanks for mailing in text not HTML, Robin's comments were correct, but a little harsh i think, and maybe he did get carried away. But lets not let this escalate to world war three.. 2) The mailing list IS as I understand for support, discussions, etc. 3) In response to your original posting, below is a few comments/questions... 1) tcpserver -c 400....Would this number sustain after a reboot... What Linux O/S you running? For example if you were running RedHat 6.x / 7, then I would expect you to find the qmail init scripts in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ Look for qmail items in the folder, they all start with qmail- so maybe do something like.. ls -li /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail-* then simply vi or edit the relevant scripts, so maybe... /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail-smtp.init /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail-pop3d.init find the lines (there are two - i have discovered) which need to be modified. you should spot them easily, then change the value from 40 to 400. Hope this helps. Regards, Ben Murphy murphx Innovative Solutions
Thanks Vincent! Mr. Robin is trying to discourage newbies like me from asking for help. Seems like this wise guy has a problem in life. Its really a bad habit to reply rudely. So, Mr. Robin if you dont want to help just *ignore* and DONT attempt to spoil someone's day. And regarding the question I posted, I figured it out....there is -c40 number specified in my qmail-smtpd run script (qmail installed from memphis rpm's) So, What would be the right number to increase this to, for a qmail server which would handle around 30,000 mails per day. Also it would help me to know if there is any know limitation on number of tcpserver connections for qmail-pop3d. Regards Sumith > On Tue, Mar 27, 2001 at 04:34:04AM -0500, Robin S.

Watch your logs and your memory use to see what number is appropriate for your system. If your tcpserver/smtpds use too much memory the number is too high. Set the number lower then. Beware that this would defer many connection attempts - if you are always at the limit of parallel connections and hyve no more memory to spend invest in your hardware. For 30000 mails a day -c 10 should be enough. Give it more if y<our machine is able to do it (it should :) - this handles peaks well then. Regards, Frank

Dear All Seems like it's all my fault for starting this WAR.. It had become a habit for me, whenever I see a problem, I panic and first thing send a mail to the list. My Sincere apologies for all this....I *promise* to read, study and try to do things myself before posting to the list (In Plain TEXT and without any lines in between). And if I do post *will* include all the relevant details. Regards Sumith

Personally, maybe the qmail list would benefit from a Qmail-Newbies list. This way the ones who don't mind helping the newbies (like myself) can actually get some work done instead of having to read whining / vulgar emails!. Yes I can use the F-word just as easily as everyone else but THIS LIST is *NOT* the place for it. AND before anyone flames me about not posting here, you are 100% correct! I don't post here, I answer emails to the newbies personally and individually so the problem or question GETS answered instead of being ignored which has happened on this list. Regards, Richard

There are various problems with the idea, the main one being that newbies who won't read documentation also won't post to the correct list. Also, the idea itself is flawed -- why go to any trouble at all to help someone who won't even read basic documentation? > This way the ones who don't mind helping the newbies (like myself) can > actually get some work done instead of having to read whining / vulgar > emails!.

This compounds the problem; answers should go to the list, so that people searching the list archives for answers will actually find them, rather than finding only questions, and re-posting the question again.

Well, if djb used the F-word, THAT makes it all OK! Why don't we start calling it F***Mail then? I'm sure Dan Bernstein would love to be known as the creator of F***Mail... don't you?

You are so full of yourself your eyeballs must be brown. In case you haven't noticed: this is a technical mailing list. Take your political correctness and shove it. This is not a "I'm a pathetic luser with limited reading abilities and gosh! it would be, like, rillyrilly nice if you guys could read out the docs to me." list.

Look at the headers of the mail you recieve from the list and look at the return path. There you will find the address you have subscribed under. For example: Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> would indicate [EMAIL PROTECTED] was subscribed. To unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, send a mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Then reply to the confirmation request and you will be removed from the list.
OK. I think I'm correct in finding that the above error code is not generated by Qmail. If not can someone correct me. And if I am correct any idea where some people may be getting this error from and/or why. I have several people trying to send to someone at one of the domains that we host that are getting this error. From everything I can tell the message is being generated by the senders side (all of which have been on Exchange servers). If anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate it.

Essy, Do a search on freshmeat.net for sms, and that should return a shed of scripts which can send sms to public sms servers / networks. Find one that suits your scenario best. Next you need to setup ~user/.qmail file. Add a line in the file beginning with | I think some of the boys & girls on this list use things like preline or similar in conjunction with ~user/.qmail file to deliver mail to other programs. This is basically what you want to do. It would appear straight-forward, what you need to do is basically use the .qmail file to pass the header information as parameters to the sms program. Anyone want to comment on which variables would supply header info of email to use within .qmail to send to a program (without being flamed if info resides in some obscure man file).

So *all* the email goes to his primary. He can either keep a list of domains in smtproutes, and only send those to the primary, or he can keep them the heck off his secondary by using rcpthosts in the first place. -- -russ nelson will be speaking at http://www.osdn.com/conferences/brie/ Crynwr sells support for free software | PGPok | Watch out!

No. Those that do not have the "knowhow" on where to find the fucking manual (in the tarball with the source code! what an idea!) shouldn't be running computers at all, let alone an MTA on the internet. We have a mailing list so that we can investigate trouble reports from users who have already read (and understood) the documentation, but are running into situations not covered in it, and so that we can discuss possible solutions to complicated problems. Basic guide for newbies: if for some reason you think it is easier to just post your FAQ to the mailing list, rather than reading the documentation, where it is clearly answered, you need to a) grow up, and b) get a clue.

Welcome to the second millenium where clueless folks abound on the internet. And it is a good thing too. Without them we'd be back in the days when only .edu's and .gov's existed on the 'net. Sure, it was a nice little community and we were all able to keep our noses glued to the overhead, but who cared?

If you can't find a web site i'm surprised if you can boot lilo. Chances you got qmail from qmail.org...and what else is on qmail.org?...a whole section for documentation. Its very hard to miss...theres only about 30 links there :-) If you don't know how to read man pages use ./configure or make or learn to find documentation then you shouldn't even be looking at LINUX or other UNIX. (And for all those of you that are wondering, NO! Qmail will NOT run on Windows. :-)) It comes down to laziness and i think that a newbie qmail list would be good. I wouldn't subscribe...but it give the newbies a chance to work together and figure out how to read documentation. :-) >Sorry to those who are offended - but thats tough ...

This thread reminds me of an old mail! -----Original Message----- From: Dave Sill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, 10 August 2000 11:43 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: How to Annoy People Whose Help You Need Say you're having a problem with qmail, and you want to request help from some people who might be able to help, and--at the same time--you want to annoy the hell out of them. Here are a few tips: 1) Post the message multiple times. To be even more annoying, change the subject each time--or even the body. Slight rewordings and small additions are especially effective. Be sure not to mention the previous "editions" of your request. 2) Describe your problem in the most general terms possible. Something like: "My qmail doesn't work. Why?" is a good start. If somebody else just asked that question, that's even better! (See #3) Under no circumstances should you include detailed error messages, message headers, log entries, qmail-showctl output, etc. OK, there's one exception to this rule: see #4. 3) Ask a FAQ. This is not as effective as the previous two techniques because most old timers automatically ignore FAQs. 4) If you do post details, be sure to alter them! Change domain names, usernames, and UID's to something else. Try not to be obvious. Use your imagination! Have fun. And, of course, don't mention these little alterations. 5) Whine, insult, and/or threaten to use Sendmail instead of qmail. Don't let the fact that these people are providing free tech support get in the way. There are others, but these are easiest, most common, and most effective techniques. I suggest printing off a copy and taping it next to your screen. -Dave -- "But what...is it good for?" - Engineer at the Advanced Computing Systems Division of IBM, 1968, commenting on the microchip

Hi, I am trying to sort the 2000 or so .qmail-* files that I have in /var/qmail/alias. I have created three subdirectories with the same alias:qmail ownership: /var/qmail/alias/system - will contain system aliases such as postmaster, root, toor, manager, etc /var/qmail/alias/ezmlm - will contain ezmlm aliases /var/qmail/alias/normal - will contain everything else I want to use the users/assign file to assign the new locations to these .qmail-* files. The benefits of organizing my aliases into different directories are quite large to me, since I want to write some web apps for users to list and possibly manipulate aliases. Only certain users could change system aliases, and certain other users could change normal aliases. You get the point... My first test of just the system aliases got me into really big trouble on my test system. It took me about an hour to repair the damage caused. Read below to see what I did, and if you can tell me where I am going wrong. - copied the system aliases into their new location and made sure the permissions were correct. - wrote a users/assign file and ran qmail-newu. uid=7790(alias) gid=2107(qmail) /var/qmail/users/assign ----------------------- =bin:alias:7790:2107:/var/qmail/alias/system::: =daemon:alias:7790:2107:/var/qmail/alias/system::: =decode:alias:7790:2107:/var/qmail/alias/system::: =dumper:alias:7790:2107:/var/qmail/alias/system::: =games:alias:7790:2107:/var/qmail/alias/system::: =ingres:alias:7790:2107:/var/qmail/alias/system::: =mailer-daemon:alias:7790:2107:/var/qmail/alias/system::: =manager:alias:7790:2107:/var/qmail/alias/system::: =news:alias:7790:2107:/var/qmail/alias/system::: =nobody:alias:7790:2107:/var/qmail/alias/system::: =operator:alias:7790:2107:/var/qmail/alias/system::: =postmaster:alias:7790:2107:/var/qmail/alias/system::: =root:alias:7790:2107:/var/qmail/alias/system::: =system:alias:7790:2107:/var/qmail/alias/system::: =toor:alias:7790:2107:/var/qmail/alias/system::: =uucp:alias:7790:2107:/var/qmail/alias/system::: =uucp-default:alias:7790:2110:/var/qmail/alias/system::: . The result of this action what that file ownerships of my entire qmail install got changed to have an owner of alias, group of root. All of qmail/queue and qmail/bin were completely hosed. Qmail wouldn't even accept messages because it couldn't write to the queue. This took me about an hour of comparing between another functioning system to get all the file permissions and owners/groups correct again. How is qmail/bin/qmail-newu command changing the group/owner/permissions of my entire qmail installation? This is pretty unforgiving if a person new to this technique makes some mistake in the assign file, like I obviously have. I just couldn't believe that it could even do this. If somebody knows where I messed up, please reply to me and the list. Thanks, Mike

And for that to happen, delivery must be controlled by a .qmail or .qmail-something file which is not empty and contains no delivery instructions. Relevant files to debug the problem are: control/virtualdomains, users/assign, possibly the password database, and whichever .qmail file you are led to by the foregoing. - Harald

Otherwise you'd be in an endless loop. datemail calls, through a symlink, /var/qmail/bin/sendmail. /var/qmail/bin/sendmail calls qmail-inject. You've set up qmail-inject to be a link to datemail. Oops. You're getting your error because, after /var/qmail/bin/sendmail has parsed sendmail's arguments it calls qmail-inject with arguments translated appropriately. One of those is -H. What ends up happening is, because of the above-mentioned loop, /var/qmail/bin/sendmail gets called again but this time with arguments for qmail-inject. Since they don't make sense, /var/qmail/bin/sendmail errors out. This is just a diagnosis. People have already suggested solutions for you. Tim

Others use SMTP-after-POP3 or SMTP-after-IMAP to allow mobile or DHCP'd clients to relay, although this shouldn't be necessary.

Hi, One of our users complained that one of her email accounts received an email with Word Doc attachment, and the attachment went through fine, while a her second account which was cc'ed just like the first one, received it all messed up and with a X-MS-TNEF-Correlator tag.. I was wondering if anyone else experienced this problem before or what the problem might be. We are running qmail, while the mail server the email came from is running Microsoft Exchange 5.5 I assume. Obviously this is weird because one person sent out email to couple cc'ed people and one received it fine, while the other didn't... Here are the headers of both of the emails, names and emails have been changed. The first cc'ed local account that accepted the message is [EMAIL PROTECTED] and received the attachment correctly. The second email is to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and received the attachment wrong.

I am currently using our isp's qmail server as the primary. I have two boxes in house, one behind the firewall and one in dmz which will replace isp's once I feel comfortable about stability. One reason I am still uncomfortable; if my isp (local but handles several large companies and thousands of dial-up) who has so much more experience running qmail than I can't figure out a "mysterious" bouce problem, how will I cross that bridge? The random bounce occurs both for aliased accounts and actual accounts. The bounce message shows rcpt address as being correctly entered. Can anyone suggest where to begin looking? So I can steer the isp in the right direction? TIA, jean

Folks, Just a quick update on a problem I queried the list on a few days ago, in which Outlook sometimes hangs on a message. Doing some extensive tcpdump tracing and analysis, we've found that Outlook hangs in at least the following situations: 1) Periods (.) in a message that end up at the very end of a tcp/ip packet during transport to the Outlook client. 2) Null (zero) characters in a message (not sure if they, too, have to be at the end of a packet or not. This appears to be a problem with Outlook 98 and 2000. Installing Office 2000 SR-1 seems to fix the problem, at least in the cases we've seen. By the way, nulls in messages appear to also hang Eudora (not sure which version), though we only have one confirmed case of that. Hope this is useful to somebody out there in qmail land....

I had a queue of over 6500 messages which weren't needed and was locally generated by a faulty cron job, which has now been sorted.... anyway... The problem I have now is I cannot send any email with qmail as I get the following error : An unknown error has occurred. Subject 'Test', Account: 'Kevin Smith', Server: 'dwshop2.dedic.web.xara.net', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '451 qq trouble creating files in queue (#4.3.0)', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 451, Error Number: 0x800CCC6A Because I had a huge queue of messages I did not need, I stopped qmail by this command, kill -TERM [pid] and then removed alls the files from the following directories : /var/qmail/queue/info /var/qmail/queue/local /var/qmail/queue/mess /var/qmail/queue/remote Then restarted qmail which was fine, with the following command : exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \ qmail-start ./Maildir/ splogger qmail & When I then try to send an email, I get the error as above, any idea how I can fix this ? Many thanks, Kevin Smith

One of the following is true: -out of disk space -out of inodes -permissions on the queue directories are wrong -ownership of the queue directories are wrong queue-fix (available from www.qmail.org) can fix this. Or, stop qmail, rm -rf /var/qmail/queue (you'll lose all mail in the queue), and run "make setup check" from the qmail source directory.

I know there is a utility called queue-fix that will make the job easier.

Speaking of OpenMail, I've never used it but there was a good editorial in InfoWorld two weeks ago that talked about how great it was. It didn't go into detail on the product but it did say that HP has decided to cancel future development of it because it was obvious that OpenMail would be an MS Exchange killer in every way and they don't want to ruin their relationship with Microsoft.

I don't think Appoinment have to anything to do with email. Its Microsoft's way
of proving its worth.From an IT management point of view keep your resouces seperate. Or one day
you'll be paying for it. Just like the idea of TV with VCR built in it.If you recall, there was something monolithic called Mainframe. We then took to streets
to distribute them....I think it was the push for open systems and distributed system.
Vendors would use any chance they get to sucker users into yet another monolithic
environment."Robin S. Socha" wrote:

In theory, you could use an Outlook express as such a gateway. Outlook express speaks IMAP and MS Exchange. MS Exchange can export a .PST file containing every thing in the user's inbox, outbox, etc.Outlook express can import such .pst files. One can (in theory) simply read from a PST file and then push it up to a local folder on the IMAP server. This has not been proven to work...its an idea...

Pick how you want your clients to access mail in the future and get them running on that software with the current Exchange server and POP3 or IMAP4 access. 2) Exchange can forward an accounts email to another box. So that you do not have to convert everything at once move a few boxes to the qmail system. Have Exchange forward their mail. Once things are solid on the qmail system let it handle the inbound SMTP traffic and forward non-local mail to the Exchange server. 3) If the server will run Exchange it should run Linux.

My run script looks like this: #!/bin/sh exec fghack /usr/local/sbin/sshd <&- I don't know what -D does. You probably meant to use -d (debug); while it suppresses sshd's urge to background itself, it also only allows one connection. This is fine if you have a good connection which never drops. Unfortunately, I'm having a little trouble in that department about now, so I managed to lock myself out of my system doing that. (Fortunately, I have two routes into my internal network.) Also fortunately, -d turns out not to be needed. -- David Benfell [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- The grand leap of the whale up the Fall of Niagara is esteemed, by all who have seen it, as one of the finest spectacles in nature. -- Benjamin Franklin.

Dear All, I am newer of learning FreeBSD and qmail. Now when I config the limit of the number of per process file handles for qmail to send about a concurrencyremote of 1000 ,I meet the question that I can not increase the number of file handles about a concurrencyremote of 500 (I have patched the patch ). I modify the types.h file at /usr/src/sys/sys/types.h ,and set "#define FD_SETSIZE 4096" ,but when I do "make" in the install firld ,there is some mistakes : ./chkspawn Oops. Your system's FD_SET() has a hidden limit of 1024 descriptors. This means that the qmail daemons could crash if you set the run-time concurrency higher than 509. So I'm going to insist that the concurrency limit in conf-spawn be at most 509. Right now it's 600. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/home/zsh/qmail/qmail-1.03. So I am very hurry. I think you can help me . Thank you very much Sincerely, wings
Hi all, I have on my server qmail installed. Before i had sendmail. In sendmail i had not open relay. But Now in qmail i have. I dont want open relay. I red on the http://www.palomine.net/qmail/relaying.html page that is important put only (in my case egarden.cz domain) allow domain to the /etc/qmail/rcpthosta. So I putted the only egarden.cz domain to the rcpthosta, then restart qmail but open relay is still functional. :-(( Could You help me? my server is egarden.cz info: 0 root@egarden:qmail# pwd /etc/qmail 1 root@egarden:qmail# v total 24 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Mar 28 11:51 ./ drwxr-x--x 64 root root 4096 Mar 28 10:56 ../ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 27 Mar 27 13:35 locals -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11 Mar 27 11:24 me -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11 Mar 28 11:51 rcpthosta drwxr-xr-x 2 root qmail 4096 Mar 27 14:28 users/ 0 root@egarden:qmail# cat locals egarden.cz os2.cz sinaj.cz 0 root@egarden:qmail# cat me egarden.cz 0 root@egarden:qmail# cat rcpthosta egarden.cz 0 root@egarden:qmail# telnet 0 25 Trying 0.0.0.0...

Also note that qmail is normally installed in /var/qmail, not /etc/qmail. I presume you altered /var/qmail to /etc/qmail in conf-home when compiling qmail. If not, put your control files in /var/qmail/control instead. cheers, Andrew.

You connected from Your own host. I think You have additionally a cdb for the tcpserver where qmail-smtpd is running under, where RELAYCLIENT="" is set. Look for something like this. It is perfectly OK when You do selective relaying based on IP-addresses You know and trust.

So I putted the only egarden.cz domain > to the rcpthosta, then restart qmail but open relay is still functional. This file is called rcpthosts, not rcpthosta. Normally it resides under /var/qmail/control. Unless you know exactly what you do, you should not change qmails paths. Regards, Frank
hi, try to run qmail with tcpserver. in tcpserver you will buid a file where you can specifiy which ip will be able to relay or not. for further informations read the man pages of tcpserver...they are very helpfull :-) cu ycae - = k o l i s k o = - wrote: > > Hi all, > > I have on my server qmail installed.
