hi I'm using RedHat 6.2 + qmail + vpopmail I'm using 10.0 schema for my local network. I want all my local users to relay mail EXCEPT a specific IP address " e.g. 10.0.0.10 " is there anyway to setup the tcp.smtp file in order to get this result ?? regards Abdul

Selective relaying with xinetd
I am still having a problem getting selective relaying to work. Here is my smtp file: service smtp { disable = no socket_type = stream protocol= tcp wait = no user = qmaild server = /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env server_args = /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd env = RELAYCLIENT= } The problem is that this creates a wide open relay.

Once qmail is working, delete sendmail entirely, including removing any entries in inetd.conf. Current best practice for starting and running qmail is to have it running under svscan/supervise. This is the method that djb currently recommends.

What am I doing wrong??? FreeBSD 4.0, LWQ
Well, I finally figured that I would stick with FreeBSD as my OS for installing qmail and have played with it quite a bit to figure out some of the differences between it and some other *nix flavors. I installed the OS and qmail using the FreeBSD ports, but am running into many, many problems. (I am using "LWQ" and "running qmail", by Rich Blum, as guides and used the CD that comes with "running qmail" to install FreeBSD 4.0 and the qmail.) For a while, I had things running, but delivery to the local mailboxes was using the mbox as the local delivery destination, instead of Maildir - which I wanted to change it to, so I could use pop3d. I modified the rc file (which in FreeBSD 4.0 is the rc script in /var/qmail linked to a qmail.sh script located in /usr/local/etc/rc.d) and restarted the server. Now, if I try to send mail to any of the bogus users I had working with the mbox, no mail is received. It is as if the local delivery has stopped and/or cannot find the destination. I guess the real question I need to ask is whether someone has actually set up qmail on FreeBSD 4.0 using the qmail ports and following any given set of directions. I am a bit confused as to what I should do with the old sendmail daemon (although I followed the directions on "LWQ" as best I could - making the necessary modifications to match the location of sendmail on my BSD sys), how I should start up the qmail services and where the scripts should go. Any advice? Thanks, SF
RE: SMTP-after-POP3 AUTH
If you use tcpserver (which I strongly suggest) you can use the relay control scripts on qmail.org. I use this method and it works very well. You can have tcpserver coexist with inetd, etc, just have inetd stop controlling those services. Follow the qmail HOWTO sections about tcpserver, and once you get that installed, the relayctrl scripts will make alot more sense. I'd show you mine, but unless you are already running tcpserver, its useless to you. -Steve -Original Message- From: Peter Cavender [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, February 10, 2001 9:15 PM To: Bruce Dang Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: SMTP-after-POP3 AUTH I just have to ask why you need to do this.

And useful. Learn something new, etc. I just tried this out and not only does it work as described, I think I just found a replacement for straight perl (I'm much more comfortable with PHP than perl). I also just tried some simple stdin stuff with it and it does what it should. So I'd have to ask what exactly you're doing, what exactly is happening and what were you expecting to happen?

Small problem with graphics and qmailadmin

After adding a domain, qmailadmin no longer displays any graphics with the new domain and after delving into the problem graphics no longer display in the current domain. Qmailadmin still works fine with all domains, just the graphics don't display. So is it possible (or dangerous) to reinstall qmailadmin to try and resolve the problem? Any other suggestions?
