Re: qmail Newbie question.....
Tonight I was thinking that the Firewall could be the problem when a Firewall Techie told me that he has seen this problem before and suggested that it is the mail server doing a reverse-IDENT and the Firewall is blocking it (both internally and externally) and the default timeout is about 30 SECONDSsounds like to solution. ... And how do I stop it or change the timeout to be 1 second if possible? You are correct in deducing that the 30 second delay is an ident timeout. The solution is to either open up Ident on the firewall or turn off the ident lookup. If you're using tcpserver (ucspi), there are several options: -r (Default.) Attempt to obtain TCPREMOTEINFO from the remote host. -R Do not attempt to obtain TCPREMOTEINFO from the remote host. -ttimeout Give up on the TCPREMOTEINFO connection attempt after timeout seconds. Default: 26. If you're not using tcpserver, check the manual for whatever you're using (inetd?). -- gowen -- Greg Owen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]

sender error in qmail 1.03
Hi! I'm experiencing an interesting error with an account on my RH6.0 box. When he tries to send email to anyone remotely (to anyone from his account), he gets the following error at the time he types in send: aphrael at burble.org: loses; [USER] 553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1) He is using mh 6.7.1 in this case, although it happens with any mailer. He is trying, in this case, to email his acct.

The strange part is that I use the exact configuration in my own acct and have never experienced this error. I have read all the relevant man pages, but cannot find if there is a specific enviroment variable that is being set somewhere to cause this, or if its another thing altogether. I am using qmail1.03 and tcpserver (no rules tho), and we are using shell accounts so it's not a problem with a POP client. Any hints or advice would be appreciated. The only fix I have found so far is to remove rcpthosts altogether, which for obvious reasons I don't want to continue to do. Thanks! Brandon Dudley

Another user asked why only Netscape is doing this and not pine. The reason is pine is probably sending mail via /usr/sbin/sendmail (which is a wrapper to /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject), and Netscape is sending via SMTP. -Dustin
Has anyone have somethin like this?
I'm using qmail for about one year ago. A couple of moths ago, when i wasn't subscribed to this list I've experienced a little problem. After returning from vacations I have got notices that no one can send mail to remote hosts. (local delivery was working fine). There wasn't any specific messages in /var/log/messsages, only thing i have noticed is that there was no "remote hosts accepts delivery' anywhere :) And all email were queued for later delivery. Qmail doesn't even tried to deliver it. I killed all qmail proceses and restart them and after that everything came back to normal (except system load becouse qmail starts to send 20MB queue all over the world) Is anyone experienced something like this? It was months ago so now it's hard to find fragments of logs to me now. And i nieve experienced it after. greets -- £ukasz Michalski mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] --- tel/sms: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Completely off topic: supervise cron?
On Wed, 09 Jun 1999 09:26:11 -0500, "Chris Garrigues" [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: C I've got a system on which cron keeps dying. Would it work to run cron C under supervise? Probably, but I'd recommend fixing the root problem by replacing your cron with something more robust. I had the same problem under Solaris-2.5.1, and replaced the system cron with another version called "dcron": ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/daemons/cron/dcron-2.3.3.tar.gz As it turns out, something I did was causing cron to die periodically, but I still like the new one better: a. I can schedule jobs to run every 5 minutes starting 3 minutes after the hour by using something like this in the "minutes" field: 3-58/5 b. I use accustamp, tailocal, and cyclog to handle all logging, so I don't have to restart cron just to clean up log files. c. It's written very cleanly, and it's smaller than Vixie-cron. I had to add some code to make it work under Solaris. If anyone's interested, let me know. -- Karl Vogel ASC/YCOA, Wright-Patterson AFB, OH 45433, USA [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] I was thrown out of college for cheating on the metaphysics exam; I looked into the soul of the boy next to me. --Woody Allen
Remote hosts...
Hello... You sent me a message for me to put the domain I wish to relay in the rcpthosts control file... But what if I want to act as a Openrelay instead ? If I choose not to use the rcpthosts file, because if I use the rcpthosts file the Qmail will start to complain about This domain is not present in my rcpthosts file... . How do I do to inform Qmail to deliver all messages to virtualdomain.com remotely without using the rcpthosts file...?! I included the line virtualdomain.com:111.111.111.111 in my smtproutes file, but when I try to send some message to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" my Qmail program tells me that there is no Maildir by that name... It is treating as local and the virtualdomain.com is not present neither in the locals or virtualdomain file. Well, I supose you got my point... Thanks... -Pirolla
SMTP Connections
Hi, Lately I have had many SMTP connections from 2 different danish ISPs, one of them has 4 mailservers which keeps on making connections like the one below: Jun 9 22:51:07 mpfgw1 smtpd3: 928961467.445214 tcpserver: end 29731 status 256 Jun 9 22:51:07 mpfgw1 smtpd3: 928961467.445660 tcpserver: status: 0/20 Jun 9 22:51:07 mpfgw1 smtpd3: 928961467.445905 tcpserver: status: 1/20 Jun 9 22:51:07 mpfgw1 smtpd3: 928961467.446159 tcpserver: pid 29734 from 195.41.46.139 Jun 9 22:51:07 mpfgw1 smtpd3: 928961467.446453 tcpserver: ok 29734 mail.relay1.webben.dk:195.41.48.111:25 fep4.post.tele.dk:195.41.46.139::57953 Is it their servers that are broken or is it mine ? Its a bit annoying as they tie up lots of smtp connections which sometimes causes my smtp server to timeout to other "good" connections. So far I took the easy way out and blocked them in my firewall then theyll need to deliver any mail via my mailrelay. Well does anyone have an idea as to what could cause this ? Thanks, Thomas
problems with qmail-pop3d
I've recently installed qmail on our server and have intermittent problems with qmail-pop3d as follows: When a user connects via POP to retrieve their mail, qmail-pop3d does not always correctly identify the fact that they have mail waiting in their Maildir. The user can check mail for hours and eventually they can access the waiting mail. Does anyone have any ideas where I can start looking or how to turn on debugging options? -jeff
scan a maildir for msgs w/attch
Hi, Only messages which contain attachments, contain the following line: Content-Disposition: true or false If I'm off tack, how else do you determine when a msg contains an attahment? Many thx eric
Re: scan a maildir for msgs w/attch
Also "begin 666" or "begin 644" (at the beginning of a line) for uuencoded attachments. Maybe try looking for base64 (ie. Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64), and quote-printable. -Trevor Eric Dahnke [EMAIL PROTECTED] 6/9 4:12:23 PM Hi, Only messages which contain attachments, contain the following line: Content-Disposition: true or false If I'm off tack, how else do you determine when a msg contains an attahment?

rc Permission Denied
I did a search in the mail list page for my problem, and found someone who had the same problem I am having who posted back in December 98, but the suggestion for that problem didn't help me with mine. I've installed qmail 1.03 and I am going through the install steps.. everything is fine until I reach the stage where I have to run csh -c 'var/qmail/rc ' I get this error: /var/qmail/rc: Permission denied. [1] 735 [1] Exit 1 /var/qmail/rc I've tried setting all permissions open, and even tried changing ownership to qmail .. still no good. Any ideas what the problem might be? Thanks james

Qmail (Almost)
Newcomer! I've just loaded Qmail on my RH 5.2 box. I setup the tcpserver line to load in rc.local. Is this the correct file to load tcpserver in? When I do a "ps waux|grep qmail" I get splogger qmail, qmail-clean,qmail-rspawn,qmail-send,qmail-lspawn |preline procmail. Do I need to remove procmail? Should I have removed this RPM along with sendmail? I want to install Qmail Pop3d next, but I don't think I know enough about what I am doing quite yet I need to install Maildirs too don't I? When I am setup can I test Qmail with Pine (local)? Thanks for all of your patience - I'm sure you'll here from me again soon! Thanks again Dave!
Ok.. now what?
I know this is going to seem incredibly dumb.. but now that I have installed qmail, is there some kind of interface I can use to send and receive email? Would I be wanting to use pine? What mail clients are there for qmail that I might want to look into? One other thing, in the TEST.deliver file, it suggests I look for a specific line in the "syslog".. where is the syslog? Also, it suggests I send a mail to myself, then check for it in my mailbox.. where IS the mailbox? Does it mean in Pine? Thanks again. james

What mail clients are there for qmail that I might want to look into? There are a lot of mail clients (as they're called) to choose from, depending on what platform you have and whether you prefer working on the console or in X: Pine, Elm, Netscape Mail/Messenger, XFMail etc etc. AFAIK you don't need a special client with qmail as it's conforming to the RFCs and thus any client that also conforms to the RFCs should do.

Also, it suggests I send a mail to myself, then check for it in my mailbox.. where IS the mailbox? Does it mean in Pine? Thanks again. syslog is a file where your UNIX system logs it's system messages or whatever you ask it to log. It's usually found in places like /var/log/, but to find out for sure have a look in the file /etc/syslog.conf and look for a line which begins with "mail.*". Your mailbox is either in ~user/Mailbox or /var/spool/mail/user or ~user/Maildir/ (the latter being a directory structure). Depends how you configured qmail.
