couldn't find host
Greetings, I've searched the http://www.ornl.gov/ site for this but couldn't find anything that seemed to relate specifically. (Don't bother trying to look at our dns yet it's only operating behind our firewall) We have two domains, mclachlan.com.au and mclachlanlister.com.au and I've set up dns as follows: mclachlan.com.au IN MX 10 checkov.mclachlan.com.au. ; Primary Mail Exchanger mclachlanlister.com.au IN MX 10 checkov.mclachlan.com.au. ; Primary Mail checkov is the primary and sulu and picard are secondary dns' but I want checkov to send mail for mclachlan to picard and mail for mclachlanlister... to sulu, however I do want checkov to be the smtp host for both domains. To facilitate this I set up virtualdomains for mclachlan... and mclachlanlister on checkov as per the FAQ. I want client's in mclachlanlister to connect to their local server (sulu) and clients in mclachlan to connect to their designated server (picard). It seems to work OK except that on picard if I try and send to myself (say) by typing: echo To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject then the message get's bounced because picard can't find the host name. This happens for both domains. What I would like to happen is for the mail to be delivered locally if either mclachlan or mclachlanlister or sent to checkov if for the sister domain (or some external domain). At present the local servers are connecting directly rather than sending external mail to checkov first (ie. I am using picard for outgoing which connects directly to the smtp host). Any suggestions ? (Oh incidently checkov and sulu use bind-8 and picard is still using bind-4 but checkov is the only one that will eventually be visible outside our firewall) Thanks, Wilson Fletcher

So, when I set-up qmail, I put JAMMConsuling.com in the rcpthosts file. I tried to test it by sending an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] from that machine. I asumed that it would go to neil on that machine, but it went to the account on the other ISP. This is not what I expected. Will everything be OK when I transfer the domain? Will I be able to receive email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] on this new machine if I have a login neil on it?

Antw: Re: qmail and lotus notes
Hi Firewall (bound private and officall IP s) for security reasons and forwards all messages to our internal Notes-Server that only uses Speaking of security: As a firewall admin I wanted to point out that it is always a bad idea to have ANYTHING run on your firewall besides the firewalling software itself. Reason: Additional applications could inhibit the work (ressources etc.) of the firewall and open up potential security holes for which there's really no good reason to exist on the firewall machine. You could put your mailserver in a DMZ for example and have mails transferred from there to your internal systems. This way it wouldn't be the firewall being open on port 25 to the whole world but a different system! In your case it's not that bad though, since qmail is secure, as far as we know... Just my 2 cents. Best regards Ralf

dialup w/ qmail
Greetings all, I just got finished (mostly) setting up qmail on a server I'm preparing to put on the net. Until I get my FQDN I'm using a standard ppp connection and just have localhost.localdomain in all my control files. This allows me to send mail to others on the server, as well as send mail to other hosts when I connect it w/ ppp. However, since I don't have a real domain, I can't seem to receive anything. I try to send mail to the server from a remote host, and it gripes that the address (whataver.ppp-mfc.etc..) isn't in the rcpthosts file. I also can't seem to receive pop mail (via fetchmail) due to the same problem. Once I get the domain set up, the first problem should go away. However, I'm not too sure about the second. Any Ideas? Thanks, Jason

Well, the mail is marked as +0300, which is consistent with the .ro sender domain. So it really *should* be coming back marked received at 14:01.

The message originated at a Windows machine. I believe their clocks always run local time? In any case, the explanation for the 3 hour warp in the wrong direction is probably in there somewhere. In any case, I would strongly recommend always running unix clocks at UTC. - Harald

I try to send mail to the server from a remote host, and it gripes that the address (whataver.ppp-mfc.etc..) isn't in the rcpthosts file. Right, because you're addressing the mail to the dialup on which you're connected. Qmail only accepts mail for hosts listed in /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts. There are two solutions: 1. Add all of your ISP's dialups to rcpthosts (yuck!). 2. Get the mail-delivery-agent to connect to your machine, but address the mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You'll find that quite tricky; indeed impossible in general. I also can't seem to receive pop mail (via fetchmail) due to the same problem. Fetchmail can do the job; you should scan your mail log and see, when running fetchmail, _exactly_ what the error message is. Paste them into your email's to this list. I'll guess that they say, "localhost" is not in rcpthosts. You could just add it; alternately run fetchmail with "-S localhost.localdomain", or add "smtphost localhost.localdomain" to your .fetchmailrc file.

Re: dialup w/ qmail
People should not be addressing mail directly to your server, unless it has a sufficiently stable presence on the Internet (static IP, DDNS, etc.). They should be sending mail to you c/o your ISP. Well that's fine. Once I get the static IP/domain I'll add that to the rcpthosts and all will be well. I was just checking to see if I could send to it from a remote host while online. Sendmail used to let me do it, but then again it'd let a person get away with murder if they wished :) I'll guess that they say, "localhost" is not in rcpthosts. You could just add it; alternately run fetchmail with "-S localhost.localdomain", or add "smtphost localhost.localdomain" to your .fetchmailrc file. Presumably, "localhost.localdomain" IS in your rcpthosts. That's the basic idea of it. I added the -S option and it worked great. Hey it wasn't until just recently I realized that fetchmail runs through the local mail server (duh@me). BTW, I notice (as I download 1718 messages from my remote server) that the hard drive seems to run awfully hard during qmail operations. It's only for a split second (after flushing each message) but it's somewhat loud. Is that possibly because qmail writes to the drive asap instead of caching it in memory or something? I've got Maildir access currently set up, so I thought maybe the more frequent hd writes had to do with being in my /home/ directory. You mentioned setting up a .fetchmailrc. I've never managed to figure out the syntax. What does a basic .fetchmailrc look like? I'd like to set up a little cron script to dial up my ISP, make sure it connects, download all my POP mail and then hangup afterwards. Unfortunately, that'd require me learning how to write cron scripts as well. I apologize for all the lame newbie questions. Mailer daemons are not something I've dabbled with before. I've always just left my system with whatever defaults it came with and never gave it a second thought. Switching over to qmail has been a learning experience for me...one that I'm not regretting.

Re: .. a few hours with qmail-pop3d
You had problems in each of the lines except the last ones. The Dave's wonderful life version was closest, but you needed /bin/checkpasswd instead of just passwd. The FAQ instructions did not include the inetd.conf lines you showed. The instructions explicitly said that qmail-popup was in there twice. From the qmail FAQ section 5.3: == 5.3. How do I set up qmail-pop3d? My old POP server works with mbox delivery; I'd like to switch to maildir delivery. Answer: Four steps. First, install the checkpassword program (http://pobox.com/~djb/checkpwd.html). Second, make sure you have a pop3 110/tcp line in /etc/services. Third, put (all on one line, including qmail-popup twice) pop3 stream tcp nowait root /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup qmail-popup YOURHOST /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir into /etc/inetd.conf, and give inetd a HUP; replace YOURHOST with your host's fully qualified domain name. Fourth, set up Maildir delivery for any user who wants to read mail via POP. If you have tcpserver installed, skip the inetd step, and set up (on two lines) tcpserver 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup YOURHOST \ /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir replacing YOURHOST with your host's fully qualified domain name. See question 5.1 for more details on tcpserver. Security note: pop3d should be used only within a secure network; otherwise an eavesdropper can steal passwords. === At 07:12 PM 5/25/99 , you wrote: Hi, I've just had a few hours with qmail-pop3d and I'd like to highlight a few things i've learn't...

I tried this: tcpserver 0 110 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup ice.gradwell.com \ /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir but this didn't work either... so I went back to the checkpassword tests, and found I was using 'ice' as my hostname.

We have two domains, mclachlan.com.au and mclachlanlister.com.au and I've set up dns MX entries in the files /var/named/mclachlan.com.au and /var/named/mclachlanlister on the primary DNS (checkov.mclachlan.com.au). I've set sulu.mclachlanlister.com.au (which is in another subnet) to be secondary for both domains and I've set picard.mclachlan.com.au to be a secondary also (I've removed the caching entry on picard). The MX entries are as follows: mclachlan.com.au IN MX 10 checkov.mclachlan.com.au. ; Primary Mail Exchanger mclachlanlister.com.au IN MX 10 checkov.mclachlan.com.au. ; Primary Mail Essentially checkov will sit in the DMZ and picard and sulu will be behind the firewall in their respective buildings. checkov, picard and the firewall are actually in the same domain though. (There could be more domains later) picard.mclachlan.com.au /|\ | \|/ ie. big-cloud=firewallcheckov (DMZ) (dns email) /|\ | \|/ sulu.mclachlanlister.com.au I want checkov to send mail for mclachlan to picard and mail for mclachlanlister... to sulu, however I do want checkov to be the smtp host for both domains. To facilitate this I have set up virtualdomains for mclachlan... and mclachlanlister on checkov as per the FAQ. I want client's in mclachlanlister.com.au to connect to their local server (sulu) and clients in mclachlan.com.au to connect to their designated server (picard). It seems to work OK except that on picard or sulu if I try and send to myself (say) by typing: echo To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject then the message get's bounced because picard can't find the host name. This happens for both domains. What I would like to happen is for the mail to be delivered locally if either mclachlan or mclachlanlister or sent to checkov if for the sister domain (or some external domain). At present the local servers are connecting directly rather than sending external mail to checkov first (ie. I am using picard for outgoing which connects directly to the smtp host). The bounced message shows: Hi. This is the qmail-send program at picard.mclachlan.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. [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Sorry, I couldn't find any host named mclachlan.com.au. (#5.1.2) The log shows: May 27 11:31:01 picard qmail: 927768661.439909 status: local 0/10 remote 1/20 May 27 11:31:01 picard qmail: 927768661.450163 delivery 16: failure: Sorry,_I_co uldn't_find_any_host_named_mclachlan.com.au._(#5.1.2)/ I would prefer all mail to be routed through checkov whether internal or external to make it easy to filter etc. In the worst case I can get picard and sulu to handle their own domain's mail but at present they are still not finding their sister domain ie. picard can't see mclachlanlister.com.au and vice-versa. Any suggestions ? Thanks, Wilson Fletcher

Qmail, IMAP, and the god-forsaken Outlook Express
Hi there, We're running qmail on linux with Outlook Express clients on Win95/8 (shudder). The server works perfectly running POP3 and SMTP, and it now does user-controlled auto-forwarding (via an email-parsing .qmail generator =) ). Unfortunately, now we need a small group of computers to access the same mailbox, and POP3 is no use to us, as we need to keep all the mail in one place for this particular account. I thought that IMAP would be the way to go on this one (despite not knowing a tremendous amount about mail protocols) and have been trying to set this up. I've installed qmail-imap 4.5 beta 2, and this seems to work as I'd like as far as authentication goes, but it seems to only allow one user at a time. If one user is connected, and a second connects, the first user is logged out with an error message (lost file lock or something similar). The other solution I tried was the Cyrus IMAP server, but I don't seem to be able to set this up so that it will return the folder list in outlook. I suspect this is mostly due to my lack of experience with IMAP, but I am unable to find any information on this. Anyway, if someone has some suggestions or documents to point me to, it would be greatly appreciated. Jim
