Attachments in failure notices
Hi! I got the following problem The useser of my qmail-server often send Attachments. Now and then it happens that they send to wrong addresses, etc. The problem is, that the Mailer demon the returns a failure notice including the attachment in the text area of the mail. What can I do to make qmail NOT return the attachment ? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. bye-Andreas. *** Andreas Altenberger Techno-Z Salzburg, EDV-Zentrum A-5020 Salzburg, Jakob Haringer Str. 1 Voice: +43-662-454888-160, Fax: +43-662-454889 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] EOF.
Limit recipients (some how).
Any idea how to limit the number of recepients per message? JKK
Accepting Backup Mail (relay)
Hi, Whats the correct procedure to accept backup mail? Do you need an entry in locals, rcpthosts? And what do you put in smtproutes for when it comes back online? There seems to be not much documentation on the files in /var/qmail/control apart from man qmail-control. Thanks, Chris.

Re: Accepting Backup Mail (relay)
The correct procedure is VERY simple. Add the entry to rcpthosts. Add the MX record to DNS. Done. :) On Fri, 12 Mar 1999, Chris Bond wrote: Hi, Whats the correct procedure to accept backup mail?

Re: rewriting to: addresses
Some scalability concerns when using .qmail-domain-default: We did the same thing when acquiring a company that was approximately 75% or size. To a point the following solution seemed perfect since it ony required that we change the duplicate email users' settings to include the prefix. Everyone else could simply use their old settings. But then every message to a majority of the users (not including the duplicates) experiences a two delivery attempts. So if the following was true: if 1 qmail user = 1 unit of load to the server us: 12000 users company A: 8000 users (including 500 duplicates) assuming a message to the remaining 7500 must be delivered twice, we just added approximatly 15000 units of load to a server group that was doing 12000 Obviously pop3 logins and remote deliveries are increased only by the number of users. Anyway, we decided to proceed with the following for future growth. Add all customers of the new domain with a prefix (included in virtualdomains, of course). Then implement a second instance of checkpassword that attaches the prefix on login. We based it on port number because we could redirect port25 on an address to port on the server with the help of an Alteon layer4 switch. But smaller establishments could do this by patching checkpassword to attach a prefix based on the incoming IP address. That way you just grab companyB.com's DNS records and map mail.companyB.com to an additional IP that you specify for one of you interfaces.Of course you'd only be able to specify 253 additional IP addresses per NICshrug Let me know if I am completely off my rocker here !

mini-qmail on bastion host. Local mail
Hi, I'm in the process of re-configuring our firewall + mail services and have something like the following in mind: +-+ | ISP | | mail relay | +-+---+ Internet | ---+-+--- | +---+--+ +--+ | exterior | | bastion | | router | | host| +---+--+ +--+ | perimeter network | ---+-+ |193.123.253.128-143 (255.255.255.240) ++--+ | interior | (address translation) | router | ++--+ | internal network +-+ | 172.16.x (255.255.240.0) +-+--+ | internal | | mail host | relays all internal mail ++ Incoming mail will be received by the bastion host and forwarded through the interior router to the internal host using qmqp. Outgoing mail will either be delivered direct by the internal mail host or forwarded to our ISP's relay (I've not decided which yet). I have no problems with things so far. In fact, it worked first time when I fired it up (well, the mail side of things did - I haven't got the network topology setup just yet). My question is regarding mail generated on the bastion host, ie root mail, messages from the proxy cache (this machine will also be running squid), and mail from any security measures I may put in place. Am I right in thinking that I will need a full qmail installation to deal with this mail or would it be possible to "deliver" mail generated locally on the bastion host to the internal mail host? eg: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] etc. Also, I'm not sure whether I need to setup anything special in our DNS for this to all work. I am following the recommendations in the O'Reilly book "Building Internet Firewalls" to hide internal DNS data. The DNS will be setup as follows: - a "fake" external DNS with limited information (either hosted by our ISP or running on the bastion host). Used by external clients, bastion host, any other machines on the perimeter network. Basically just has MX data and details of our externally hosted website. Also, receives forwarded requests from the internal DNS server. - a "real" DNS on the internal mail host. Used by internal clients. Contains all internal domain information (eoc.org.uk) Presumably, since qmqp uses IP addresses in qmqpserver, it doesn't need to use DNS at all? ie the bastion host doesn't need to know any details of the internal DNS; it will just relay all incoming mail to the internal mail host? What about locally generated mail (see previous question)? Again, presumably that wouldn't need DNS to work correctly? Thanks for any contributions...

You don't without a lot of work. The error message is the TXT record from the ORBS database.

Alias, dot-qmail, qmail-local, maildir, directories
Couple of questions: 1. I cannot get "redirection" to work when I use a .qmail file containing a complete maildir path. If I replace the maildir path with another local user, the redirection works. In the former case, qmail(-local I assume) complains about delivery being temporarily deferred. What I had was: .qmail-john:doe In the default home directory. The file contained /home/special/mailadd/johndoe02/Maildir/ The ./johndoe02 directory is owned by johndoe02 (not world writeable) The same ownership applies to all of the directories below ./johndoe02 If I log-in as johndoe02, I can change to /home/special/mailadd.. although I cannot do a pwd. What does qmail(-local) require as far as directory rights in the above scenario. I have temporarily circumvented the problem by replacing the path specification in the .qmail-john:doe file with 'johndoe02', which works but isn't an elegant solution (IMHO) since it requires extra work on qmail's behalf. 2. Is there a file or document which describes which directories must be owned/groupowned by the various qmail UIDs/GIDs as well as other directories (such as the one in the first question above)? I'm somewhat behind in this mailing list, so if you do reply, please CC me ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) on your reply.

Badmailfrom Questions
Hello, Folks-- I have a couple of questions about the control/badmailfrom file: 1) As long as it's readable by qmail, does its ownership matter? 2) Which part of qmail needs to read it? My quick scan of the docs says qmail-smtpd is the only thing that looks at control/badmailfrom, but I'd like to double-check. 3) Will control/badmailfrom take regexes or any other form of pattern matching besides the simple "@host" that matches all addresses at a given host? Since it appears not, are there any patches to enable this? 4) After altering it, I don't need to restart anything, right? Hope these questions aren't too simple.

child crashed for non-existant users (qmail-mysql)
Hi, First of all, my apologies if you have received this twice. I have just finished setting up a qmail system here. The system is supposed to handle quite a lot of users (mail-only) so I decided to use the mysql patch to manage all the accounts using a mySQL database, and use a single uid for the pop-boxes themselves. Ok, so everything works fine, until...Someone tries to logon on with a user that doesn't exist. Fex: telnet localhost 110 +OK [EMAIL PROTECTED] USER bozo +OK PASS theclown -ERR aack, child crashed Connection closed by foreign host. And it core dumps inside the control directory. qmail-getpw just returns the alias user for non-existant users, so I guess that's ok. Users that exist work just fine.
