it looks like you have svscan running on / and /service instead of just
/service. check your /etc/inittab and other init scripts and such and
make sure that only 1 svscan is running and only on /service. there are
also 2 supervise processes running on qmail-smtpd for some reason. it
could be related to the above. since 2 of those are running, 1 of them is
actually running it (bound on port 25/tcp), and the other one keeps trying
to start it but fails because it can't bind to that port since the first
one already has it...
somewhere to start, at least.

Please include /service on the commandline of svscan (inittab?). You
are running svscan on the root directory because you didn't give
parameters.
Change that and look at it again then. May be it's the only problem.

How do you want to write something decent for something not decent?
There are several VPN implementations (FreeS/WAN works well), but if
you're looking into VPN solutions, you'd better take a close look at
OpenBSD.

MS says it's secure. Just do it. They wouldn't *sell* anything that has

Thanks for the pointer.
Thanks for your help.
I checked the system, and found out that there were 2 places that initiate
svscan. The one is /etc/inittab, and the other is /etc/init.d/svscan.
Life with Qmail (installation document) misses the point that
daemontool installs /etc/init.d/svscan and that it requests the readers
to put a commanline in the /etc/inittab.
So I removed the command line in the inittab file.
And the svscan problem went away. (Thanks for your hint.)
But I still have another problem unsolved yet.
I booted the system again, and still sees a warning message keep scrolling up.
It is "supervise:fatal:unable to start supervise/run:file does not exist".
The directories related are as follows.
1. /service
# ls -l /service
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 6월 16 18:05 qmail-send ->
/var/qmail/supervise/qmail-send
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 6월 16 18:05 qmail-smtpd ->
/var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd
drwx------ 3 root root 4096 6월 16 23:16 supervise
(There is another supervise inside the supervise directory.)
2. /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-send/supervise
3. /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/supervise
And for more information, I grepped the ps.
1. ps ax |grep supervise
315 ? S 0:00 supervise supervise
317 ? S 0:00 supervise qmail-send
318 ? S 0:00 supervise log
319 ? S 0:01 supervise qmail-smtpd
320 ? S 0:00 supervise log
4194 ? S 0:00 supervise qmail-smtpd
4195 ? S 0:00 supervise supervise
2. ps ax |grep qmail
317 ? S 0:00 supervise qmail-send
319 ? S 0:01 supervise qmail-smtpd
321 ? S 0:00 qmail-send
323 ? S 0:00 /usr/local/bin/multilog t /var/log/qmail/smtpd
324 ? S 0:00 /usr/local/bin/multilog t /var/log/qmail
438 ? S 0:00 qmail-lspawn ./Mailbox
439 ? S 0:00 qmail-rspawn
440 ? S 0:00 qmail-clean
4514 ? S 0:00 supervise qmail-smtpd
Please give me another help.

This is left from your previous wrong setup. There are supervise
directories on overy first level directory now. To remove them:
/etc/init.d/svscan stop (check that it really is stopped)
rm -ri /*/supervise
/etc/init.d/svscan start
This should remove the warning messages and clean your system from
unnecessary supervise directories.

Dear Frank,
Thanks for your help.
I deleted all supervise directories, and it seems to work.

For reasons I am not too clear about, a user with
a POP3 vpopmail account on my qmail server appears
to let out his reply address as
[EMAIL PROTECTED]%mail.foo.bar
foo.bar is a valid domain that I accept mail for,
and mail.foo.bar is a valid host in that domain.
E-mail to this user generates errors such as:
Sorry. Although I'm listed as a best-preference MX or A for that host,
it isn't in my control/locals file, so I don't treat it as local. (#5.4.6)
I've been through "Life with Qmail" and the FAQ and
didn't spot anything.
So: what info do I put into what files?
TIA,
Adam.

This is wrong, and bad. It's a construct from a pre-MX days, when
there were smtp clients that didn't support MX records. But everybody
does now, so there is absolutely ZERO excuse for using an address of
that form.
> So: what info do I put into what files?
Still, they've told people about that address, so you ought to support
it. man qmail-send and search for percenthack.

I agree it is a bit of a relic. Also, of course allowing
the percenthack was the usual way of dong relaying back in
pre-1997(?) sendmail days.

OK, I'll RTFM and look for percenthack. But AFAIR the
percenthack isn't selective, so I think I'll try to
fix the guy's mail client.

Hi list,
I wonder if anyone has courier-imap running under tcpserver, and if so could
share how it was done?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Penguins
I would like to use the Qmail as mail server. I read document Life with
qmail and all man pages of qmail.
Now, I have some problems with building addresess assignments from a
passwd file by qmail-pw2u.
When I run qmail-pw2u, it newer finish. So, it doesn´t create /users/assign
file.
When I create /users/assign file manually (for example
=martin:martin:1001:0:/home/martin:::), then I run qmail-newu to create cdb
database, I receive following error message: qmail-newu: fatal: bad format
in users/assign
Could you tell me plese, what is wrong?
Thank sou very much for answers

Did you finish assign with a single dot on the last line? Like so:

I am guessing that you are simply running `qmail-pw2u` here, which sits
and waits for input. In actuality, qmail-pw2u is a filter, so you need to
send your passwd file through it with the command:
`cat /etc/passwd | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pw2u > /var/qmail/users/assign`
> When I create /users/assign file manually (for example

Like Arjen said, you prolly didn't end it with a dot on the last line.

BTW, for future reference, include the actual commands you are entering
into your shell and we won't all have to guess at what you are doing
wrong. =)

Well, you really ought to have posted the file, but I'd be willing to bet
you forgot the last line.
It is documented in the man pages that the last line of users/assign must
contain a single period.
I.e.
=martin:martin:1001:0:/home/martin:::
=joe:joe:501:501:/home/joe:::
=sue:sue:502:502:/home/sue:::
.
Also, you may have a problem delivering to 'martin' because your account
appears to be in the root group (GID=0). I know qmail won't deliver to
root, can anyone confirm if it will deliver to members of group 0?
Good luck

Unix is very simple, but it takes a genius to understand the simplicity.

Hi guys
I was setting up qmail and I encountered a very strange problem.
Everything is setup properly, I can do virtual domains, blah blah.
In short. it works.
The thing is: whenever i start qmail, my /usr which qmail is occuping
keeps on growing. And when I stop qmail, it halts. It grows up to
the point it says no space left where in fact it has 2.2gb space. Next,
i did a du -s /usr and the space is not the same as reported df. It's
big difference. one is 500mb and the other is 4.5gb?
Now, has anyone here encountered this problem? If so, how did
you rectify this?
In case you are going to ask these questions, here are my answers:
1) qmail is working. It is running perfectly ok. I can create virtual
domains,
pop3 emails, send emails via smtp server, etc.
2) I am using ucspi-tcp and daemontools from djb as well as qmail.
3) qmail is running under /service.
4) logs are at /var/logs/qmail. it has nothing to do with /usr and it has
distinct
partitions.
5) I am using multilog.
qmaill 15407 0.0 0.0 1240 392 ? S 00:22 0:00
/usr/local/bin/multilog t /var/log/qmail
qmaill 21727 0.0 0.0 1240 392 ? S 00:22 0:00
/usr/local/bin/multilog t /var/log/qmail/smtpd
qmaill 10392 0.0 0.0 1240 392 ? S 00:22 0:00
/usr/local/bin/multilog t /var/log/qmail/pop3d
7) /var/qmail is a symlink for /usr/local/qmail. /usr itself is a ext2
partition of 6gb. I
am using Debian (Sid).
/dev/sda3 5.7G 1.3G 4.1G 23% /usr
pancreas:/usr/local/qmail# du -sh /usr/
591M /usr
8) My guess is also log file as well BUT there is no log for these. And log
files are
found in /var.
>My guess is that your /var/qmail may be increasing coz of the log file,

pancreas:/usr/local/qmail# du -sh /var/qmail/queue/
412k /var/qmail/queue

Sounds like a permissions problem. What does `ls -ls ~qmailq/queue` look
like? Here's mine:
4 drwx------ 2 qmails qmail 4096 Jun 14 21:15 bounce/
4 drwx------ 25 qmails qmail 4096 Apr 26 20:49 info/

Hi Nick,
hmm, permissions are the same except the ownership of the files.
Despite the changes made, the partition still grows. So i guess it's
unlikely be the permissions problem =(

rblsmtpd.c has to be patched for this to work, does it not?
I tried the above *with* the patch, and it didn't work either. I don't
think it's working right anymore. My system fails the RSS test at Russ
Nelson's site.

Sorry -- missed that in the above mail. =)
Anyway -- this doesn't work for me either.

Oh -- really? They don't approve of what he's doing?
How can I test it, then?

No, I think a robot removed it. What's curious is that I get no
response from [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'll ping 'em again.

No idea. That's why I wrote the testing robot.

Hi everyone!
I want to start using qmail-qfilter, I patched qmail using QMAILQUEUE and
this went ok. I then went into the qmail-qfilter directory and typed make.
Then the errors started :-)
./choose cl trysetenv setenv.h1 setenv.h2 > setenv.h
./compile qmail-qfilter.c
In file included from qmail-qfilter.c:26:

*** Error code 1

I am running Solaris (Intel based). I searched the mailing list and could
not find anything helpful. Has anyone got any ideas?
Thanks,
Jon
