Write a wrapper.
For example (not tested):
#!/bin/bash
#
read -p "Subject: "
mailsubj "$REPLY" $*

I'm curious, not to really try to create a survey, but of those of you on
this list using qmail with IMAP, which IMAP are you using?

Courier - what else? Cyrus is nice but uses proprietary formats noone

http://my.gnus.org/ - To boldly frobnicate what no newbie has grokked before.
okee dokee. i'm having quite a time trying to get qmail to work right.
for a while i was at least able to send mail from my box [running
openbsd2.8] and receive it on my box, or send mail from it, and
receive elsewhere, but not send from elsewhere and receive on it.
now i can't send or receive anything, and i'm not sure what I did to
change that. it looks like all the appropriate apps are running [4
or so, i think the documentation said], but nothing is getting
delivered. i occassionally get an email bounced back if i send from
elsewhere saying 'couldnt deliver for 7 days'.
i just found the qmail/queue/mess folder, and it looks like there's a
bunch of mail in there that's been waiting to be delivered for ages
[probably around 2 weeks or more].
the only thing i knew to check was rcpthosts, and it's got localhost
and the domain of my box listed there.
i followed all the instructions best i could, moved around mailboxes
and such. the only thing that i couldn't do had to do with removing
sendmail, since something it told me to move just wasn't there.
any help anybody could give me would be greatly appreciated.

If you get a connection you can try some smtp commands to see what is going on
with incoming mail.

No, that's not the problem.
Is qmail-send running? What do the logs say? What does the script that you use
to start qmail look like?
Chris
PGP signature
not sure. ps -x doesn't show it, but it doesn't show any of the
other ones, and the only place the install docs said to make a start
script was in inetd.conf, which is the line pasted below.
if i try and start wmail-send manually, i get this:
alert: cannot start: hath the daemon spawn no fire?
oh yeah, and /etc/rc, forgot about that one
csh -cf '/home/qmail/rc &'
damn, maybe there's something wrong with that, then. as root i did
./rc in /home/qmail/ and all of a sudden i have new mail
so, any idea what's wrong with that line? :)
oh dear lord. now you know i'm a newbie.
that line up there, well, it was after "exit 0". duh. if anybody
wants to smack me upside the head, go for it.
*sigh*
things work now. all's well that ends well. time to start making
some email lists.

Please post the output of 'qmail-showctl' (don't edit it!) and the
unedited contents of the script(s) you use to start qmail. Please also
tell us what instructions you followed to install and configure qmail;
examples would be Life With Qmail, Adam McKenna's HOWTO or the INSTALL
instructions that came with qmail.
Thanks,
Tim
One of the reasons I was interested in qmail was the security aspect of it.
I've been impressed that noone has won the reward that is available from Dan
Bernstein. This is probably the most negative comment I have seen about
qmail while surfing for info:
http://www.orbs.org/otherresources.html
"Qmail admins: Qmail's current version is secure by default, but earlier
versions were insecure. Most admins know enough to follow the instructions
for securing it before putting qmail into service, however it usually drops
ORBS test messages checking for UUCP pathing vulnerabilities - "! pathing" -
into the admin mailbox. As ! is a standard network addressing indicator,
this can only be charitably described as yet another Qmail bug. Qmail is
extremely network unfriendly and generates denial of service attacks on
other mailservers in its enthusiasm to deliver as many messages as possible
in a short period of time. For this reason it is best reserved for mailing
list server purposes only."
Do you all agree with this opinion that qmail is "best reserved for mailing
list server purposes only"?

That's because the ORBS folks made completely false statements, were
called on it, and don't like being wrong.

False.

Rather, it tries to bounce them and the bounce bounces as undeliverable.
The solution is for ORBS to stop probing systems from which no spam has
ever been sent and for which there is no reason to suspect a lack of
security.

False.

False. qmail's default configuration is incapable of doing that except
possibly to a pathetically undersized e-mail server that would have
problems with all sorts of normal deliveries.

Surely if it did generate denial of service attacks [by making lots of
deliveries in a short period of time], then the one thing qmail /shouldn't/
be used for is a mailing list server? I mean, what else does a listserver
do??!
Clearly someone there has a deep dislike of qmail!

At the top of that page it says:
'Everything on this page is based on information supplied to ORBS by server
admins and MTA authors. Opinions are just that - opinions.'
Wow, server admins and MTA authors - that's sure to be a page filled with
friendly, good-natured, level-headed comments.
I guess that's why a page that initially holds a server admin responsible
for his mail server when it comes to being an open relay, later contains a
paragraph that shifts responsibility from the administrator to qmail by
claiming it generates denial of service attacks by sending email too fast.
As for the comments regarding '! pathing' - maybe the author should petition
to have his specification included in the RFC so his bug claim would
actually have a leg to stand on. Maybe we should email qmail's author and
have him re-write it to work around the bugs in the various mail clients
while he's fixing that bug for ORBS test messages.
> Do you all agree with this opinion that qmail is "best reserved for

> list server purposes only"?
I don't. I really don't see the distinction between sending email to list
subscribers, and sending email to regular mail recipients as far as the
target server is concerned. If it can't do it's job (deliver email) it
shouldn't really be in use as an MTA.

Hi Russ, John, and Jason,
I appreciate your taking the time to respond to my question about the ORBS
opinion. I felt I should check it out before installing qmail and
unexpectedly becoming an infamous generator of denial of service attacks!
Russ, I appreciated hearing some of the background issues in communication
difficulties between the ORBS and qmail groups.
John, I started to shrug it off when I read it because I had the exact same
thought immediately that you expressed, which was why would an mta that
supposedly "generates denial of service attacks" be especially suited to
being a mailing list server? It seems to me that it would be especially
UNsuitable for that task.
Jason, I agree with you that there is no real distinction between list
subscribers and regular mail recipients. You can get an equally high volume
either way, and not all lists restrict the members to text only emails. Some
lists promote the html email, but these lists are of course usually not
technical lists.
Thanks for the feedback!

One last note on this thread. While rereading the FAQ, I came across this
which indicates qmail has brakes to keep from generating denial of service
attacks.
http://cr.yp.to/qmail/faq/efficiency.html
Does qmail back off from dead hosts?
Answer: Yes. qmail has three backoff features:
Each message is automatically retried on a quadratic schedule, with longer
and longer intervals between delivery attempts.
If a remote host does not respond to two connection attempts (separated by
at least two minutes with no intervening successful connections), qmail
automatically leaves the host alone for an hour. At the end of the hour it
``slow-starts,'' allowing one connection through to see whether the host is
up.
Some mailers opportunistically bombard a host with deferred messages as soon
as the host comes back online. qmail does not do this. Each message waits
until the appropriate retry time.

Check ~/Mailbox or ~/Maildir/. Otherwise follow the default delivery
rule that was passed to qmail-start. Check the logs for further clues.

Hi Alex the rule was ./Mailbox but I was testing procmail to filter
some incoming mailing-lists so I removed ./Mailbox from my $HOME/.qmail
my /var/qmail/control/defaultdelivery contains ./Mailbox so I supposed
that the rule was already there to inform qmail about delivery.
Unluckily I can't find any messages into /Mailbox.

Does the file exist, or not? If it doesn't exist, qmail follows the
default delivery instructions provided on the 'qmail-start' command
line. If it does exist but has no delivery instructions, i.e. no
forwards, no commands, no mailboxes or maildirs, but only comments,
qmail throws the mail away.
Tim
When examining the qmail log file, I could not find the "subject:" line. Is
there a way to get qmail to log extra information (such as subject, the
first few words of the message, filename of any attachment, etc... Please

Hi all,
I'm trying to set up qmail to support a 200,000 user domain. Can someone pls
recommend a feasible way to do this? I don't think adding 200,000 records in
/etc/passwd is such a good idea.

You can use the Inter7 solutions. It's free software and works just fine,
as far as I know.
You may be interested in vopmail, that supports a lot of features,
Check it out: http://inter7.com/vpopmail/
"Features:
Automates all qmail file modifications into
documented command line programs.
Uses only 1 entry in /etc/passwd - everything
runs under a single UID/GID
support for named and IP based virtual
domains.
NFS safe, dynamic user mailbox directory
creation for 10 to 10 million users using a "fill in
ballenced 3 level tree".
Configurable logging based on real world
admin's comments and requirements.
Support for Oracle, Sybase, Mysql, LDAP,
/etc/passwd, /etc/shadow and default cdb
authentication storage.
Delivers directly to Maildir for use with
qmail-pop3d, .qmail files or any other Maildir
program.
No need to have hundreds of .qmail files for
virtual domains. Each domain gets it's own
directory under vpopmail user with a separate
password file for each domain.
Documented command line programs that can
be used in scripts or for remote admin.
Documented C library for all vpopmail features
and transactions.

200.000 in /etc/passwd ? How would/could you do that?
A very good wait to deal with such an amount of email accounts is with an ldap backend.
Take a look at http://www.lifewithqmail.org/ldap.
And, if imap is needed, you should try Courier-IMAP (http://www.courier-mta.org).

When I telnet to the host, the connection just hang. For example, I telnet
to mta.excite.com 25, it just hang, no response but I can receive mail from
their site.
I hope I could get more idea on analyzing why the problem occured. Yes, I
know that the problem seemed to be on my side, but what caused the problem,
that I don't know.
I hope someone can give my more idea about this.
Thanks!

I'm experiencing a curious issue with qmail-popup/pop3d.
qmail-popup is being called by tcpserver. It even works.
POP3 server: wndrgrl.goldblatt.net 208.190.130.82/27
Other interface: 10.1.1.10
The 208.190.130.82 works quickly, efficiently, as expected, but in
public. This interface is a 10 megabit NIC.
The 10.1.1.10 interface is a totally separate 100 megabit LAN that I use to
run my private services, like printer sharing, NFS, all the stuff I need
but don't want exposed to the public.
When I try to retrieve mail via POP3 on the PUBLIC interface, all goes well.
When I try to retrieve mail via POP3 on the PRIVATE interface, it works,
but where the public side takes about two seconds to complete an empty
transaction, the private one takes as much as 60 seconds to authenticate
(Eudora hangs on "Logging in to server," which is its way of saying
login/password). If Eudora doesn't get sick of waiting it EVENTUALLY
works, but slowly.
qmail-popup is invoked as follows:
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver 0 110 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup
wndrgrl.goldblatt.net /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir &
Per the documentation in various places, the FQDN is
wndrgrl.goldblatt.net. Do I need -two- instances of qmail-popup -- one for
each interface? Or does tcpserver bind to both interfaces at once?
My gut reaction is that tcpserver binds to both interfaces, based on the
fact that retrieval from the private interface does work, albeit slowly.
Pointers toward a resolution or where to start looking, including FAQs and
docs I've missed, are welcome.
Thank you.

Hello, I'm using vpopmail, and I have
multiple domains in the same host.
When sending a message to a non existent user in
that domains, the sender never gets
a return message indicating the problem, but the
postmaster receives a copy of the original
message.
Here is the log generated:

postmaster has been set as a catch-all account.
If [EMAIL PROTECTED] doesn't exist, postmaster will
get it.(postmaster gets *@domain.com, minus
existing users) If you want it to bounce, simply turn off the catch-all
for postmaster and only [EMAIL PROTECTED]
email will be delivered.
