According to our local hostmaster, this is fixed now.
Our CNAMEs should now properly point to a TXT record.
Can you please check this from your end and let me know?

I was just recently ready a document on setting up qmail on a redhat system
and i had some questions about the instructions. the document is
http://qmail-docs.surfdirect.com/docs/redhat.html
http://qmail-docs.surfdirect.com/docs/redhat.html
the question i have is at part 2.5 running qmail-smtpd
it says that there should be a file called /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail-smtpd.init
in which i could not find. Also the document notes that there should be
file called /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail.init also i didnt find. Is this
documantation totaly wrong or did i not install something? thanks for your
help
Hi there,
First of all- I'm no that much of a Linux/Unix wizard!
I'm trying to set up a qmail (ucspi) on Redhat 5.2, along with mess822
Qmail works fine, aliases.cdb works fine also.
Because i want to rewrite the FROM: field, i installed mess822.
According to the man files, ofmip should do the rewriting for me.
(or new-inject, but i can't understand who does what)
I copied /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail-smtpd.init to /etc/rc.d/init.d/ofmipd.init
The only thing i changed is : set PORT to 26 and set PROG to ofmipd
This seems to work fine, because i'm able to telnet to port 26
and i can send mail through prot 26 with Outlook. (i know, i'm very sorry).
I also made a name.txt with this content:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:Fre de Vries:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:
After that ik made a name.cdb with:
/cdb-0.55/12tocdbm /etc/name.txt | /cdb-0.5/cdbmake
Re: procmail-~/Maildir
John Conover [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Is there a way of executing procmail do ~/.procmailrc, and if email is not rejected for a user, it is delivered into a ~/Maildir? BTW, eg., use my standard spam filter for users that want it, but want to fetch mail via POP3 in a Maildir. If I understand you correctly, you want mail to be pumped through procmail--and to be delivered to a maildir if it falls through all of your procmail filters. The qmail way to do that is to put something like this in your .qmail-ext file: |preline procmail ./Maildir/ To make this work, your "rejecting" recipes must return exit code 99, telling qmail to ignore the next instruction(s). Be aware that procmail itself has a default delivery instruction, for mails that "fall through", and you don't want to trigger it. A recipe like this, as your last recipe, should do the trick: :0 /dev/null On the other hand, there is an easier way (YMMV). You can use the patched procmail which can do maildir deliveries, and make your last recipe a maildir delivery--or set $DEFAULT appropriately in the rc file. If you'd rather not use a patched procmail (my preference), there is a program which does maildir delivery of messages posted on stdin--just what you need. It's called "safecat", and it's available at the URL: http://www.pobox.com/~lbudney/linux/software/safecat.html To use it, make your last recipe the following: :0w |safecat $HOME/Maildir/tmp $HOME/Maildir/new Used in this way, procmail+safecat should be as safe as qmail's own maildir delivery.

Re: Email header
"Jeff Lush" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have been successfully using qmail for 2 weeks thanks to the great people and their advice on this list. My latest crusade is to change the line in my email headers that currently state that "qmail was invoked by uid ###" to "qmail was invoked by network". I have checked the FAQs but have not turned this up. To do that, you need a mail user agent (MUA) that injects mail via SMTP, rather than invoking a program such as /usr/lib/sendmail. -Dave
Virtual domain redirect for one user...?
Basically, what I am trying to do is to have normal delivery (i.e,, [EMAIL PROTECTED], the virtual domain, would get delivered to [EMAIL PROTECTED], our primary domain, for all users) excepting specific individuals whom [EMAIL PROTECTED] must get forwarded to [EMAIL PROTECTED] because there already is someone with that username on our primary domain. In sendmail, it was a virtusertable [EMAIL PROTECTED][EMAIL PROTECTED] LHS original, RHS, final. But from the docs on Qmail it looks as if I put domain1.com:domain1com In virtualdomains and make ~alias/.qmail-domain1com-user [EMAIL PROTECTED] Then I have to figure out what to do with the *rest* of the users at domain1.com, and if I create ~alias/.qmail-domain1com it may even screw up delivery for this one. Or am I way off base here? -doug

Envelope filters
Hi qmailers, I come back with qmail filters. I'm looking for a single patch or a clear method for filtering smtp connections (in qmail-smtpd?) depending on the envelope (both sender and receiver) and the remote IP address (or any environment variable established by tcpd). It also would be useful to filter by the data. I read about Sam Varshavchik's SMTP antispam filter patch but it doesn't pass envelope's receiver and uses maildrop as filter. Why doesn't use a general scripting language as Perl? I found some old posts in mailing list about a wrapper for qmail-queue but there isn't any patch.

forwarding of e-mail
Hello qmailers, Here's the setup: Right now I have qmail set up on a machine called "mail1". Since I want to offload mail serving to a different machine, I went ahead and got qmail set up on the new machine called "mail2". I've got all the user accounts set up and everything is tested and working well on mail2. Now then, when I change the MX record for our domain so that everything is forwarded to mail2 instead of mail1, I am sure that there will be some mail sent to mail1 for a couple of days until the dns update propagates. How can I set up mail1 so that everything is forwarded to mail2 so that my users don't have to check two mail servers?
