If you want /var/spool/mail/user delivery use qpopper as pop3 server. qmail POP3 server only supports Maildir format.

Re: SMTP problem

Maybe it doesn't like the looks of your packets. : ) You need to be running an SMTP server to accept mail on the SMTP port, qmail-SMTPD is the one you're likely to go with, and yes, it should be handled by tcpserver. Once you have tcp server installed (see http://www.flounder.net/qmail/qmail-howto.html, notably http://www.flounder.net/qmail/qmail-howto.html#10a ), a line such as: /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -x/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -u502 -g501 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd & In your init script will start it up. You may want to use the RBL (real-time black hole) or other spam filter, but that's up to you. The above URL's have plenty of info. steve
smtp-poplock question
I know this isn't strictly a qmail question, but since David Harris's smtp-poplock package is mentioned on www.qmail.org, and I've seen other people mentioning here that they use it, this seems like the best place to ask... I'm experimenting with smtp-poplock to provide smtp-after-pop. Looks to be working like a charm (thanks, David!), but I've got a question about the smtp-poplock.static_allowed file -- specifically, are wildcards (or addresses with netmasks) allowed here? For example, could I do any of the following (if 12.34.56.* were a class C that I owned): 12.34.56. 12.34.56.* 12.34.56.0/24 to specify the entire range of addresses in that class C network? The output of "showallowed" heads the IP address column with "ipaddr (and netmask)", which makes me think that something like this is possible, but I'm not sure what the syntax would be. Thanks in advance for any help, Adam
SMTP problem
The command telnet localhost 25 shows a message : Connection refused. Whith ps I see that qmail-send etc. are running. Why is the connection refused? Do I have to configuer tecpserver??
init script
yeah, qmail-send and qmail-smtp are running. But I am nor able to send mails with the use of this smtp server. My client reports (server nor found). It is definitely not a client problem, it worked when running qmail as inetd. So what did I miss?
Re: init script
If you've setup qmail as the Life with Qmail suggests, run top and look for the user 'qmails' .. If not, run ps -aex (command varies from OS to OS) and look for qmail-send you have to use a switch on ps to view ALL processes on your machine..

Re: spammer lurking
> OK, I've already found that and turned it on. It's better, but it > still leaves a lot of addresses uncloaked. > > Now, how can I reprocess the existing archives with -spammode? Use a different archival program. : ) These questions aren't directly related to QMail, but they do have some relevance to the topic, so I'll plead for forgiveness. It seems like there isn't any decent mail archiving system out there. Some, like MoHnArc (or however you spell it) have some neat features, but there aren't any that really kick butt. A while ago, I started writing my own archiving program for a mailing list that I'm on, using PostgreSQL for the storage. Having it in a database really allows for great flexibility in archival/retrieval. There's just one problem... threading. I've been trying to come up with a decent method of threading the messages, but since few (if any) mail clients seem to use a "in-response-to" header (or whatever the name of it is), it's getting very hard to do more than just seperate the original from a reply. If anybody wants to help me out, maybe I'll archive the QMail list once I get the package done. (There, does that justify asking this on the QMail list?) As far as spam harvesting, the database stores the email address of the author, but does not show it to end users. One of the planned features is the ability to email the author via a form, so that you never see the email address in question. It allows for contacting authors, but without opening them up to spam. The author can decide whether to reply or not. steve

virtual domains
Ok, I have added a new virtual domain to our server. The DNS: - Server: dns.circle.net Address: 209.95.64.46 jumpspot.netpreference = 10, mail exchanger = smtp.jumpspot.net jumpspot.netnameserver = dns.circle.net jumpspot.netnameserver = dns2.circle.net smtp.jumpspot.net internet address = 209.95.64.26 dns.circle.net internet address = 209.95.64.46 dns2.circle.net internet address = 209.95.64.47 rcpthosts: - jumpspot.net .jumpspot.net virtualdomains: - jumpspot.net:richm-jumpspot .jumpspot.net:richm-jumpspot I killed and restarted qmail. When I send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I get: "relaying to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> prohibited by administrator" What do I need to do?

No preceeding forward slash on the call to splogger (not to mention the space in it).

The problem may be that /usr/local/bin is not in the PATH when your boot scripts are running. Also, where you have: var/qmail/bin splogger you should have /var/qmail/bin/splogger Chris

Additionaly you could try to to send mails RCPT TO: |testing@localhost or RCPT: /tmp/testfile@localhost. Some security-scanners then assume your MTA has a problem but in reality qmail-smtpd (or better qmail-local?) delivers these wrong adressed mails to postmaster. And because not being able to trace the wrong adressed mail you get a security-hole reported where no hole exists.

Of course. At worst it should say that there are errors in that message and continue with the next. Write to microsoft.com support to get the bug fixed. (they may tell you that a POP3 transmission may not contain NUL, which may be correct in some sense, but is irrelevant to the need of the client to

Is it possible to 'share' the queue with the QMQP protocoll?

Perhaps your checkpassword denies root logins? You didn't mention anything about your setup. In any case, it's not a good idea, perhaps even dumb, to login as root via pop3. Your password is sent in the clear. You don't want any root passwords sent anywhere unencrypted! Aaron
