RELAYCLIENT Problems - SOLVED
So here's my little story. I have to relay mail from our MS Exchange Server to the qmail-server (This server also beeing the firewall). I did setup everything with tcp-env according to point 5.4 in the FAQ But this doesn't work (at least not with my RedHat Linux) The RELAYCLIENT variable just doesn't get set. Martin Jespersen was a great help in finding the problem. My simple solution: Use tcpserver. This was actually a no-brainer. Now (nearly) everything works fine. So, why not update this in the FAQ? instead of using tcp-env I now have a /etc/tcp.smtp file in which I have the IP-adresses of the servers who are allowed to relay. I wrote a little startup-script for tcpserver and that was it. I already moved one other service from inetd to tcpserver. I'll probably shutdown my xinetd alltogether. Ciao Leo

Re: Relaying test on abuse.net postive!?
don't worry about test nr. 6, it is testing a known weakness in old sendmail versions that qmail is not subject to (sendmail would treat % as a special sign). The reason why it appears to fail is that qmail interprets the RCPT address correctly and thus the mail is for a localy controled domain, for which relaying is allowed :) If you are in doubt see the output of the test i did below.

Using qmail with other MTA
Hello everyone! I am trying to find ways to use qmail with another MTA (part of a groupware package called Teamware Office) on the same machine (RH 6.2). One solution I found is to use delivery through SMTP (smtproutes to a secondary SMTP port etc.). Works perfect, but it's not exactly what I'm looking for. Second method is to make qmail-local "pipe" the e-mail to the other MTA's receiver program, achieved by putting in ../control/.qmail-default: | /usr/bin/torecvm -f$SENDER -r$RECEIPT. (Of course, more specific rules than .qmail-default can be implemented, but this is just for testing). The problem with this method are the delivery reports. Since qmail-local can pipe the message ok, it reports succesfull delivery to the sender, even if the recipient is not defined in the other MTA. My question: is there other approach, beside qmail-local, in dealing with other MTAs running on the same machine? Any suggestion, links to relevant documents etc. are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

RE: plusdomain
Can anyone tell me what the 'plusdomain' control file is used for? Can't find anything in the docs...thanks. For any control file, read 'man qmail-control,' which has a table listing which man page describes which control file. All control files have an entry like the following from 'man qmail-inject:' plusdomain Plus domain name. Default: me, if that is supplied; otherwise the literal name plusdomain, which is prob ably not what you want. qmail-inject adds this name to any host name that ends with a plus sign, includ ing defaulthost if defaulthost ends with a plus sign. If a host name does not have dots but ends with a plus sign, qmail-inject uses plusdomain, not default domain.

You are missing the /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts file.

Problems sending Mail
Hi, i'm using qmail 1.03 with tcpserver 0.88 and i have problems with some clients (mostly Windows/Outlook) sending mail through the qmail-MTA, which is very slow on those client machines, but there are also clients (the majority) with the same configuration, which operates about 6-7 times faster. I'm using the following tcpserver setup for qmail-smtpd: (ulimit -d 5120 -m 2048 /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -c20 -x /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -u 1001 -g 101 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd) i have also tried the -H and -R tcpserver options to disable dns/ident lookups, but that did not solve the problem. The vpopmail uses the roaming feature appending new pop3-authenticated relay ip's to tcp.smtp.cdb Qmail runs on a Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 system with kernel 2.2.17 Thanks for your help, Oliver -- Oliver Stosberg * [EMAIL PROTECTED] * Fon: +49 5251 930328
Re: Relaying test on abuse.net postive!?
Quoting Leonard Tulipan ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): Now the thing ist, that relay test number six still goes thru. Is this some issue? Did I do something wrong? Yes, you did. You failed to read the web page, especially the bold blinking text. Aaron - THIS MAY OR MAY NOT MEAN THAT IT'S AN OPEN RELAY. Some systems appear to accept relay mail, but then reject messages internally rather than delivering them, but you cannot tell at this point whether the message will be relayed or not. If it is really an open relay, the test message will be delivered to you. If you do not receive the test message in your e-mail in the next few hours, it IS NOT an open relay.
Re: qmail and procmail
Hi Johan, I stumbled onto this thread because of your earlier message in which you heartily recommended using qmail-queue, procmail -m, and spambouncer. I didn't see any replies to this message. Did you end up resolving the procmail log file problem? In light of that problem, do you still recommend this approach to spam-tagging? (I've been trying to decide whether to go back to rblsmtpd alone, or to go for the kinder, gentler approach of tagging suspected spam rather than rejecting it. I was all set to start using your recommended setup until I read your later message about it.) -c At 12:56 PM +0200 9/17/00, Johan Almqvist wrote: Hi!

No. The final system is allowed to do whatever it wants with case. The case preservation is only required if the MTA is NOT the final delivery MTA. qmail by design is case independent when it is the final delivery MTA.

MTA and \r\n problems
Okay, I have inherited a legacy Active Server Pages/VB environment that uses ASPEmail to send HTML email messages to a qmail relay server. I keep getting the dreaded LF bounce. After talking to Persits Software (the makers of the component), they're convinced that qmail is stripping the CRLF and replacing it with simply a LF. My questions are, is this a reasonable behavior from qmail and, if so, how would I fix it? Thanks.

Just had this exact same problem 2 days ago with ASPmail. The script was pulling some HTML from a web page and emailing it off. There was a lone linefeed character at the end of one of the tables on the page. One of our developer guys fixed the page somehow, or made the aspmail thing look for lone lf's.

RE: multilog (not working)
To stop the tcpserver error, reconfigure or terminate the other program which is listening on port 25. This may be another tcpserver, inetd, sendmail, or something else I never heard of. You know your box better than I do. (I hope) As for logging, I found that I needed to make the directory in which multilog will be writing its logs read/write/executable for at least the qmaill user, otherwise it would not work, and the ps ax | grep multilog would show [multilog], indicating a failed 'zombie' sort of state.

Bogus MAIL FROM (SPAM)
I am having trouble with SPAM from people who provide bogus From and To lines when talking to my qmail server. Here is an example. Oct 12 21:47:49 linux1 smtpd: 971401669.546402 2385 220 ns1.newcombnet.com ES Oct 12 21:47:52 linux1 smtpd: 971401672.921618 2385 HELO att.attsoken.co.jp? Oct 12 21:47:52 linux1 smtpd: 971401672.922747 2385 250 ns1.newcombnet.com? Oct 12 21:47:53 linux1 smtpd: 971401673.298142 2385 MAIL FROM:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Oct 12 21:47:53 linux1 smtpd: 971401673.299236 2385 250 ok? Oct 12 21:47:53 linux1 smtpd: 971401673.568619 2385 RCPT TO:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Notice that the HELO and the MAIL FROM: lines have completely different domains. The MAIL FROM they are using is a bogus address. What is the best way to prevent email like this from being accepted? Thanks, Aaron Newcomb, MCSE http://www.newcombnet.com [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Title: RE: Bogus MAIL FROM (SPAM) There must be some way to block this mail from coming through. It would be ideal to block based on the HELO response since they can't fake that.
