ezmlm, because it does bounce-handling.

ezmlm. It's what it was designed for.

No need to shout there, Henning. Please note the question mark at the
end of my sentence; I wasn't sure.
If you must use caps, please save them for the idiots that can't figure
out how to unsubscribe.

No offense intended, Todd. Just meant as clarification.

The log portion I supplied is indicative of all of the stuff
related to the aol mail. The PID associated with those messages was not
there when I became aware of what was happening, so I can't definitively
trace it.

All of the logs for qmail I have go to a single file. I do not
have headers, or I would probably have been able to definitely say that
this was a relay (or generated directly from my system by a cracker).

Actually, that thought just occured to me this morning. I was
talking with the other person who has access to the system and he
mentioned that the only "anonymous" address he ever saw was from a
formmail script. I have an altered one that allows those I've blocked to
contact me (i.e. relays, spammers, scanners) when their email won't
otherwise get through.
Since the form creates email on the system, qmail would not block
the outbound "relay." Unfortunately, I might not be able to get to this
until next week. Fortunately, it seems to have been a one time occurance.
However, I now have something to go on that sounds reasonable, and it's a
good idea for others to check their setups, too.
Thanks.

UID != PID
And, er, qmail-send (with UID) and (tcpserver with PID)
unconditionally log their UID and PID, so what exactly do you mean by
"was not there"?
But, AOL doesn't help matters as their bounces don't return any
original header information, blah.

Sorry, I was distracted. The UID was for apache, further evidence
that this was done through a formmail script.

I do not seem to have any tcpserver logs, except for my RBL setup.
Here's the tcpserver invocation:
tcpserver -p -x /etc/tcpserver/tcp.smtp.cdb -u 301 -g 300 0 smtp \

Ok... And what did your apache logs say at the time? They are logging
IP addresses, right?

Superficially that looks ok, again kinda different from what one
usually sees.
So there are not entries in /var/log/rbl/current like:
@400000003b053761268c7a14 tcpserver: pid 16838 from 131.193.178.181?

I had to disappear for some other commitments, so I was gone for a
few hours :-)
I've removed the form completely. I'll have to do up another
script when I get some time in a few days. I've got another one that
I wrote that doesn't do formmail stuff, so I can adapt it.
I did check the logs and now I can pursue this further. I'll have
to check my RBL and blocks to see if this is in retaliation (which, given
the few in number messages, makes sense). Here's an example entry:
cc172422-a.union1.nj.home.com - - [17/May/2001:15:38:23 -0600] "GET

No. Now we are onto a different topic, but I would still
appreciate some input on this. I noticed when I set this up that I was
only getting the RBL stuff logged.
Again, I really appreciate the help I've received from everyone on
the list. Thanks.

Hi all,
No single reply, no problem.
I got the solution, it was my mistake while applying patching.
Actually, i have two patches one for ldap and other bounce patch.
So while appying patch, both patches patch same qmail-send.c file.
In last configuration, I had first patch for ldap and then bounce-patch,
using
patch -p1 qmail-ldap-1.03-20000601.patch
patch -p1 qmail-bounce.patch
This time i had changed the order
patch -p1 qmail-bounce.patch
patch -p1 qmail-ldap-1.03-20000601.patch
while patching for ldap support it showed this lines
patching file `qmail-send.c'
Hunk #1 succeeded at 58 (offset 2 lines).
Hunk #3 succeeded at 737 (offset 2 lines).
Hunk #4 succeeded at 939 (offset 8 lines).
Hunk #5 succeeded at 1482 (offset 3 lines).
Hunk #6 succeeded at 1581 (offset 8 lines).
Hunk #7 succeeded at 1584 (offset 3 lines).
patching file `qmail-showctl.c'
and my problem got solved.
Thanks

The reason was the try to add one of this stupid "standard
disclaimers" to every outgoing mail. I think the prepared text file
was in the wrong format and the mailserver didn't convert it.
So mystery resolves to stupidity.

This would seem to be the conclusive evidence that the formmail
was the back door to allow the relay, although I'm not immediately sure
how it was done - check the bottom of the message...
The IP is for mail-in.namezero.com, which also happens to be the
MX for spammah.com. I don't know that this information is meaningful or
not, at the moment.
In any case, I hope to try some things and see if I can get it to
relay. I'll let the list know what I find. I'll probably replace it
anyway, with a custom perl cgi that will only deliver to a specific
address, period.

hi-
I've started to hack around with qmail-inject.c a bit. i'm trying to modify
the file to optionally look for a "control/addmessage" file, the contents of
which will be appended to every locally generated message.
i'm having some difficulty tacking the addmessage onto the message as it
passes through qmail-inject, so i'm trying to insert some simple logging
messages so i can follow the execution of qmail-inject.
one thing that i'm having a difficult time following: it looks like Dan
Berenstein's logging architecture for qmail is broken down into 3 pretty
simple calls:
(from qsutil.c)
void log1(s1) char *s1; {
substdio_putsflush(&sserr,s1); }
void log2(s1,s2) char *s1; char *s2; {
substdio_putsflush(&sserr,s1);
substdio_putsflush(&sserr,s2); }
void log3(s1,s2,s3) char *s1; char *s2; char *s3; {
substdio_putsflush(&sserr,s1);
substdio_putsflush(&sserr,s2);
substdio_putsflush(&sserr,s3); }
from what i gather, all of these just write messages to stderr, and
multilog/splogger are responsible for collecting them.
i happen to be using multilog (LWQ style)
but when i modify qmail-inject to place a logging call, i get nothing in
/var/log/qmail/current
this line placed in void main(), before any other function.
log1("qmail-inject: started");
can anyonepoint me in the right direction to understand why this fails?
thanks-
dan

qmail-inject is unable to log anything, since it doesn't run as a
daemon connected to multilog/splogger. Just spew your debugging to
stderr and the user (you :) will see it.

Right. So that won't catch messages submitted via SMTP from your local
(windows) clients. I presume that's ok? If you're not sure about where
qmail-inject and friends fit into the scheme of things, carefully read
and understand all of the PIC.* files in the qmail source before
proceeding.
I also assume you're aware of the MIME related issues in trying to do
this. It's been discussed many times on this list - the archives are
your friend.

Well, qmail-inject doesn't log particularly. It's meant to be invoked
from a shell and thus informs you of results via stderr and the exit

multilog is *nothing* like syslog. You just can't make a call to write
to stderr in one process such as qmail-inject and magically have it
show up with the output of some other process such as qmail-send.

You might want to actually copy the way qmail-inject generates its
messages. Hint: search for the string "memory".

Hi guys, straight to the probl.:
A customer of mine asked me for webmail.
He use a qmail-based mailserver whit about 100 mail virtual-domains.
The problem is the virtual domain handling.
I know sqwebmail need vpopmail, but on that server virtual domains are
handled in the "classic" qmail way, with the prefix on the user name associated
at the /var/qmail/control/virtualhost file; users autenticate against
pop with "prefix-username" instead of "username@domain".
So, is there a way to "wrap" this old autentication method to allow
the webmail compatibility without changing the username field configuration
in ALL the user's mail client? (They are about 2200 users ...)
Thanks in avance

You might want to consider using vmailmgr and oMail instead of
vpopmail/squebmail. vmailmgr, I believe, even supports the prefix-username
format for authentication.

qmail automatically retries delivery on messages which did not get
successfully delivered the first time, using a quadratic backoff algorithm.
In general, there's no need to mess with this. If you absolutely want to
force a "queue run", send qmail-send an ALRM signal. However, this will make
qmail-send immediately retry all messages in the queue (well, except those for
which it has recorded a recent timeout -- qmail-tcpok will clear that list).
There's no easy way to force-retry a single message. Why do you want to do
this, anyway?

i guess it would be in /var/log/messages, then
anyway, you should consider switching to multilog and get completely rid

It sounds as though no one has. Is there a way to install vpopmail without

Hi guys, here is the scenario:
I had everything working no problem, Sqwebmail and LDAP, but once
I upgrade to 2.4.3 kernel and iptables 1.2.1a then my LDAP stopped
working, I wonder if anyone has had same problem. I tried it without any
firewall rules to check if it would work but no luck, Again worked fine
with ipchains.
Thanks Again guys,

Did you restart qmail? `man qmail-send` will tell you why this is necessary.

Correction: showctl indicates that the doublebounceto control file is
set.
"man qmail-control" says:
control default used by
doublebounceto postmaster qmail-send
"man qmail-send" says:
WARNING: qmail-send reads its control files only when it
starts. If you change the control files, you must stop and
restart qmail-send. Exception: If qmail-send receives a HUP
signal, it will reread locals and virtualdo=AD mains.
So you need to restart qmail-send.

I want to implement spam filtering for several users. My ISP recently
installed qmail and vpopmail on our colocated Yellow Dog Linux
server. The machine already has procmail 3.14 installed, although
I've never used it. I installed spambouncer
<http://www.spambouncer.org> (which uses procmail) according to the
directions, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. Are there any
known gotchas with this setup?

I don't know anything about "spambouncer", but purely based on the name, I'd
say it's useless. I've seen some systems which generate late bounces to
suspicious mail to try to get your name removed from spammers' lists, but the
basic idea is flawed because spammers universally use forged envelope sender
addresses and therefore never see the bounces.
If you do want to use this, you'll probably have to modify either the users'
.qmail files or the default delivery instruction to call procmail. Typically
this means setting it to something like:
|preline procmail [.procmailrcfile]

Because qmail runs with the permissions of the user it is delivering to.

You implied that ~alias/.qmail-tom contains /home/tom/Mailbox . Therefore,
if alias is handling this address, user "alias" will be trying to write to
~tom/Mailbox, which won't work.
However, user "tom" should override alias, unless you're using virtualdomains
to do this or something. Post the output of `qmail-showctl` (unedited) and we
might be able to help you further. It might be as simple as changing your
~alias/.qmail-tom file to contain a forwarding directive.

The problem is, if the delivery is done via ~alias, it's done with
the permissions of the user alias, which is not allowed to write
/home/tom/Mailbox
Whether it's done via ~alias/.qmail-tom depends on entries in /etc/passwd
and/or /var/qmail/users/assign.
However the line
@400000003b056f360ee85a54 starting delivery 1357: msg 224842 to local
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
indicates that the problem is not with the user tom, but delivery to
user "root", which is handled by ~alias/.qmail-root (under permissions
of user "alias").
Replace in that file (I assume!!)
/home/tom/Mailbox
with
&tom
and it will probably work.

Stress is when you wake up screaming and you realize you haven't fallen
asleep yet.
I finally got around to upgrading mutt to 1.25 and took another look at setting
it up to work correctly with qmail.
My solution (which you might want to mention in your qmail help) is:
set sendmail="/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject -h"
set write_bcc=yes
This lets qmail parse the message headers and get things right, rather
than use the addresses passed on the command line in the incorrect
format. (qmail expects raw addresses, where as sendmail expects rfc821
encoded addresses.)
Does anyone have a qmail-remote.c that has been patched for qmtp AND
outgoingip? I must have botched the patch combination, since I now get:
qmail-remote2001-05-18 17:21:26.339297500 delivery 1: deferral: qmail-remote_crashed./
Thank goodness I backed up the binaries and use RCS on the source.
Thanks,
JS
Just FYI in case anyone was losing sleep over not being able to use
the QMTP patch and the outgoing IP patche to qmail-remote.c at the
same time. Well, and also to prevent my previous post from being an
archive orphan.
It turns out that the additional qmail_remote.c code for QMTP totally
confuses the outgoingip patch, and even if the patch wasn't confused,
it would have missed out on patching the additional call to the new
flavor of timeoutconn(). With too few arguments passed in both cases,
no wonder qmail_remote was choking. Case closed.
Later,
JS

Hello!
I have the following configuration working, using the latest versions of each:
Red Hat 7.1 (Updated)
qmail with patch
QMAILQUEUE patch
qmail-scanner
vpopmail
courier-imap
sqwebmail
qmailadmin
The only problem is, that when I send outgoing mail, using Eudora, through
the qmail server, it properly invokes qmail-scanner, however, when I use
sqwebmail, it bypasses the scanner completely. I can install and configure
a system like this, but don't have a detailed low-level understanding on
how all the pieces are talking to each other. I also don't know if the
problem is within vpopmail or sqwebmail. I have used LWQ to install the
basic qmail package.
My questions are this: Is vpopmail or sqwebmail bypassing qmail and
sending the mail out directly? If this is true, why shouldn't both be
using qmail to actually send the mail?
If this is not the case, then I need to do further checking of the
configuration of all the packages. Everything seems to work correctly.
Thanks in advance for your feedback!
Rick
Put this in your httpd.conf
SetEnv QMAILQUEUE /var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl
like:
<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot /usr/local/httpd/webmail/htdocs
ServerName webmail.my.dom
ServerAlias www.my.dom
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin /usr/local/httpd/webmail/cgi-bin
SetEnv TZ CET
SetEnv QMAILQUEUE /var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl
</VirtualHost>
Or you could set it in sendit.sh before qmail-inject

I want to return a custom message when rblsmtp bounces my email.
Is there a way to do this?
Why?
I have had a provider who was listed in one of the "black hole" list.
I needed to send someone an email, and could not get it to him any
other way.
If I am going to deny access because someone is on a list I want to
give him a way to contact me. I want to refer him to a page with a
form on it for him to use.
How can I do this?

We are a small ISP and currently having a mail server (InterMail) serving POP3/SMTP
access to our subscribers.
Let's say mail system A= serverA.domain.com.my and user e-mail address like
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
We planning to migate from this mail system to qmail.
And we already setup FreeBSD+qmail+vpopmail+sqwebmail+qmailadmin to provide the same
service POP3/SMTP
Let's say mail system B = serverBdomain.com.my and user e-mail address like
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
For co-existant purpose (migration) ,
Is there a POP3 and SMTP proxy solution such that userA POP3 and SMTP access will
still poiting to serverA and
qmail user (userB) will poiting to serverB ?
Note : Both server having the same e-mail domain name.

I fiddled it a little more last night so when a delivery is done it
tells the callback routine that's called when a delivery is done
whether the delivery worked or not. If you don't use failure info to
update the address list (either immediately or when you pass some
threshold of bounces), it really would be spamware.
The callback routine does have to delete the file with the message.
The reason I did it that way is that at some point I want to see
whether it's faster to rewrite existing temp files than to unlink and
create a new one, in which case the callback would just push the temp
file on a list of available ones to reuse. Or the temp file might be
a named pipe fed by another program or something.
