about users/assign
Hi, I am writing a web mail system based on qmail. For the security reason,i am using users/assign(and hash table users/cdb) instead of system /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow. It works fine. But the problem is, if there is 10 or more users can it works fine still? I know users/cdb is an hashed table,so qmail can access fast enough, but once an user added, system had to do a '/var/qmail/bin/qmail-newu' to re-hash it. I donnt't know,if it can still be fast enough? And if not, how can I do? Thanks very much. -- Yessure

why csh?
hello, am running qmail as follows : /bin/csh -cf '/usr/local/bin/supervise /var/run/qmail /var/qmail/rc ' but why csh? why not use the default shell (in my case, bash)? just wondering... -marlon

Re: qmail and smtp error messages
The dynamic DNS registration is only mapping your forward lookup (name-IP). I believe the problem is that AOL and mindspring are doing reverse lookups (IP-name) which of course return the fact that you are sending from a dialup IP from sprint.net. The simple fix is to use Sprints SMTP server as a relay for all mail going to AOL and mindspring. Others may have better suggestions. That's the best I can come up with. :) On Tue, 4 May 1999, Jason wrote: im running qmail 1.03 on a redhat 6.0 machine and was formerly running qmail 1.01 on redhat 5.2.. ive got a "dedicated" dial-up connection to the internet with dynamic dns to register my hostname (welsh.dynip.com) i can send and receive smtp mail just fine except to a few domains.. mindspring.com, and aol.com.

If anyone can help me with this it would be greatly appreciated: I can receive mail from users at InterNIC without problems, however mail automatically generated by their Domain Modification forms is causing problems with Qmail.

The sending machine at InterNIC must know there's a problem, because it tries to resend periodically (more 'OK' entries in the qmail-smtpd log).

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.

Acting as a middleman
Hi there. Just as a warning, I'm new to the list, and have a question. I tried to check the FAQ and archives for the answer, but my lack of mailer-term knowledge stimied me. So, apologies if this question was asked before, but I don't know how to describe it. First, some background: We run a Novell file server, and use Mercury mail for our POP system. Mercury, in case you don't know, is SMTP-stupid...anything non-local it passes to a specified SMTP-aware system to deliver. Since our Novell admin knew the IP of another SMTP-aware box at the university, no problems. Until one morning when the admin of the other box decided that our department shouldn't be allowed to deliver. We were using a small 486 running Linux as our webserver at the time, running the sendmail that was installed with it. (Slackware 3.5, I think). In desperation, we pointed the growing backlog of mail at the webserver. Amazingly, it cleared out the backlog in 8 minutes and served quite dutifully, despite some immense files thrown at it. [What this says about the security of sendmail I'll ignore for the moment]. Anyway, in time we upgraded the Linux box to RedHat 5.2 on a PentiumII 450. Now that I was a slightly more experienced Linux administrator, I tried to increase some security...xinetd, etc...including qmail. All was well and good, but as time passed it became obvious that it was more effort that it is worth to maintain two separate linux boxes of two distributions when the one box can do everything. So we want to repeat our trick. My question (finally!): How do I configure qmail to send mail routed to it from another host? Without messing up delivery by qmail for messages generated from the same box? Example: www.example.edu is running qmail on Linux. other.example.edu is running Novell w/Mercury. POP messages are sent to other.example.edu as they currently do. other.example.edu delivers any local messages, while sending any non-local messages to www.example.edu to be delivered. www.example.edu accepts any messages from other.example.edu and does the lookup/delivery to wherever. (incoming messages from other hosts will go directly to other.example.edu) At the same time, the web server on www.example.edu will send messages to wherever as well (using qmail), which it does now and which I have no desire to break. Thanks for any help in advance. I am totally new to mailer administration, so if this has been answered at length you can just point me in the right directions with some terminology help. BTW, we attempted to simply "point" as we did before, but the mail did not deliver. I'm afraid I don't have the log entries on hand, but if it is helpful (i.e. it should work without special configuration) I can get with our Novell admin and repeat the test.
