timestamp wrong
Hi, the timestamp on mailmessages processed by my mail server is wrong - it's 20 hours fast. The time on the server is fine, time on the workstation is fine. A test message from me to me via the aforementioned server will result in a message delivered tomorrow sometime (well, it tells me that it's arrived tomorrow!). I saw a comment in one of the pages on cr.yp.to/??? that mentioned adding: TZ=CST6CDT to the line: env - PATH=/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin \ in the services qmail-pop3d, qmail-smtpd etc. I've done so, but the messages still have strange time stamps. Any ideas what the variable TZ means, if how I should use it here, and if not, how to get the delivery of messages reporting the correct time? I'm GMT+10. Thanks, Chris Herrmann Far Edge Technology p. 02 99553640 f. 02 99547994 m. 0403 393309 http://www.faredge.com.au

We use O2k courier-imap sitting on top of vpopmail - works fine.

We have no trouble with Outlook Express and Courier, and I believe Outlook uses the same mail subsystem as Outlook Express IF the former is in internet mail mode, and not MAPI (I think they call that corporate/workgroup mode). MAPI is an abomination anyway. At least that was true of Outlook when last I dealt with it, which I'm happy to say was about 18 months ago. That's true for Outlook 2000, yes. Outlook 2002 is happy to run IMAP -and- MAPI, so I've switched to that at work. Sadly, we use the abomination. -- rjbs

This has become such a FAQ that I'm reposting the detailed instructions: First, ask your Internet Provider to mail you an Unsubscribing Kit. Then follow these directions. The kit will most likely be the standard no-fault type. Depending on requirements, System A and/or System B can be used. When operating System A, depress lever and a plastic dalkron unsubscriber will be dispensed through the slot immediately underneath. When you have fastened the adhesive lip, attach connection marked by the large X outlet hose. Twist the silver- coloured ring one inch below the connection point until you feel it lock. The kit is now ready for use. The Cin-Eliminator is activated by the small switch on the lip. When securing, twist the ring back to its initial condition, so that the two orange lines meet. Disconnect. Place the dalkron unsubscriber in the vacuum receptacle to the rear. Activate by pressing the blue button. The controls for System B are located on the opposite side. The red release switch places the Cin-Eliminator into position; it can be adjusted manually up or down by pressing the blue manual release button. The opening is self- adjusting. To secure after use, press the green button, which simultaneously activates the evaporator and returns the Cin-Eliminator to its storage position. You may log off if the green exit light is on over the evaporator . If the red light is illuminated, one of the Cin-Eliminator requirements has not been properly implemented. Press the List Guy call button on the right of the evaporator . He will secure all facilities from his control panel. To use the Auto-Unsub, first undress and place all your clothes in the clothes rack. Put on the velcro slippers located in the cabinet immediately below. Enter the shower, taking the entire kit with you. On the control panel to your upper right upon entering you will see a Shower seal button. Press to activate. A green light will then be illuminated immediately below. On the intensity knob, select the desired setting. Now depress the Auto-Unsub activation lever. Bathe normally. The Auto-Unsub will automatically go off after three minutes unless you activate the Manual off override switch by flipping it up. When you are ready to leave, press the blue Shower seal release button. The door will open and you may leave. Please remove the velcro slippers and place them in their container. If you prefer the ultrasonic log-off mode, press the indicated blue button. When the twin panels open, pull forward by rings A B. The knob to the left, just below the blue light, has three settings, low, medium or high. For normal use, the medium setting is suggested. After these settings have been made, you can activate the device by switching to the ON position the clearly marked red switch. If during the unsubscribing operation, you wish to change the settings, place the manual off override switch in the OFF position. You may now make the change and repeat the cycle. When the green exit light goes on, you may log off and have lunch. Please close the door behind you. - Lucas Charles -- --- Charles Cazabon[EMAIL PROTECTED] GPL'ed software available at: http://www.qcc.sk.ca/~charlesc/software/ ---
defaultdelivery is severly unhappy...
Hi all, I've managed to break qmail-send, and for the life of me, I can't work out a rhyme or reason. I know why at a superficial level it's broken, but not **why** the damn thing suddenly decided to be unhappy now. I'm using qmail 1.03, vpopmail 4.9.8, rh7.1, daemontools 0.70. Has been working fine until this evening, when I restarted the services after making changes to the run files ( to add a fix for wrong timestamps - adding TZ=CST6CDT to the env statement). Tried sending an email, and it didn't work. No errors - just didn't work. Had a little bit of a dig, and discovered that the server was saying: env: ./Maildir/: No such file or directory which had me a little perplexed. I eventually worked out that the service starting it wants a Maildir directory in /service/qmail-send/ , but then returns an error: env: ./Maildir/: Permission denied The service is started with: exec /var/qmail/rc which in turn is: #!/bin/sh # Using stdout for logging # Using control/defaultdelivery from qmail-local to deliver messages by default exec env - PATH=/var/qmail/bin:$PATH\ qmail-start `cat /var/qmail/control/defaultdelivery` I played with giving qmailx (where x is vpopmail, l,r,s etc) permission to read/write/destroy the Maildir in question, to no avail. Have tried running the rc file, and the qmail-start command by hand without joy. So here is my conundrum: I don't need a default delivery because I'm using vpopmail, yet I can't start qmail-send without it. The Maildir in question doesn't exist, and when I create it doesn't appear to satiate the beast. Obviously I've changed something else between when qmail-send was last started and now (umm... how many months?) so I have absolutely no idea what has changed. user directories don't have Maildirs in them. Vpopmail users do, in ~vpopmail/domains/user/Maildir Help! A very tired, confused and cranky Chris. _ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Hi all, qmail is now up, fixed, happy. Thanks to Joel Michael, from sage australia for his help. So how did I fix it? well... to be quite honest I gave up trying to fix it, and just reinstalled everything from scratch, because I was getting close to the point of committing computer murder. But, a couple of notes. I'm pretty sure it was caused by a couple of things - permissions of files/directories, and the contents of the qmail-smtpd/send scripts, which tell it how to deliver stuff. The send script runs /var/qmail/rc which in turn,(now) runs: exec env - PATH=/var/qmail/bin:$PATH \ qmail-start `cat /var/qmail/control/defaultdelivery` Whereas before, it was running ??? defaultdelivery contains ./Maildir/ so that mail is sent to the /Maildir/ instead of a mailbox file. The other change of note was making sure that the other startup scripts were pointing at the correct directory for tcp.pop3.cdb etc etc. An example looks like: VPOPMAILUID=`id -u vpopmail` VCHKPWGID=`id -g vpopmail` env - PATH=/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin \ **-- /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -p -x path-to/tcp.pop3.cdb \--*** -u $VPOPMAILUID -g $VCHKPWGID 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup \ your.host.name.here ~vpopmail/bin/vchkpw \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 21 Cheers, Chris _ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Having some strange qmail grief. I've installed qmail, then vpopmail and setup a couple of domains. Copied across some of the old config files (from a previous installation), and it's all looking fine. The next day, I have a look through the logs for qmail-send, and notice that there were a lot of: Temporary_error_on_maildir_delivery._(#4.3.0)/ messages appearing for a whole bunch of different users, in both domains. The maildirs are in the same spot they used to be : vpopmail/domains/domain.com/user/Maildir The domains were created using vadddomain, and the users created using vadduser (ie. i didn't try and copy the files from the old config). So that night... to make matters worse, I decided to get a little tricky with the default delivery locations, and changed the .qmail-postmaster .qmail-root files to point to user@domain rather than the directory location that they had up until this point pointed to. (was it then that Peter picked the pickled pepper?) Sometime this morning (ie. the morning after) qmail stopped accepting messages: Hi. This is the qmail-send program at gemini.faredge.com.au. I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

I've killed all the qmail processes, and from what I can work out there are 2 problems here: 1. Mail isn't being successfully delivered to local users, which it then tries to bounce to postmaster 2. It tries to bounce to postmaster, and fails because postmaster is pointing at one the users that isn't working :o((( How do I start working this? Arhhh!!! Any suggestions to me, I'll summarise whatever I find out to the list. I'll be taking bets on how big a crater the box will make on the side of the pavement from 11 floors up. Winner takes 70% and the remainder goes to the house to fund a new box :o) Cheers, Chris _ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
