Help!
Hi, We run qmail 1.03. I've been asked if we support "ERTN". Reading around... it looks like I have to have serialmail installed to support it. However, I don't know how to find out if i have serialmail installed. Someone tells me that the person here before me had setup. Two quick questions: 1. How do I find out if I have serialmail installed? 2. If I do have serialmail installed, what is the difference between ERTN and people just dialing in and collecting their mail normally? Thanks for help in advance. :) Regards, Marc-Adrian Napoli Connect Infobahn Australia +61 2 92811750 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

all my mail accounts except for root are working fine... but root: I have a system, where all admins should get all mails sent to root. the mail for root is as default stored in /root/Mailbox, but I have there a .qmail, with the following information: --- start --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---end--- but this just causes the mail to disappear: it doesn't find it's way to Mailbox but also not in the mailadresses specified in .qmail.

Radius Authentication
Hello again,
Once again, this is about the radius/chkpw project that I'm working on. As
you may have read in my earlier messages
I am trying to have qmail pop3 to authenticate via radius, and was running
into trouble with the Perl version of radius-ckpw from the webpage. Now my
issues are no longer in compiling the script, I resolved that by
reinstalling the IO module in perl. but the problem i'm running into now
(maybe this is a duh! thing) is when I telnet to the pop3 port, enter user
xxx pass xxx i get -ERR Authentication Failed. I then checked my radius
logfile and see this error:
Thu Jul 22 16:02:43 1999: get_radrequest: non-RFC packet from

What does your default deliver directions say? WHich .qmail file is being used? /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-default? /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-ppp-mark? I'll bet you have the wrong delivery instructions. .Shawn
Qmail / Ldap / and a seperate outgoing Queue...
Hi there. I am using qmail-1.03 with the LDAP patches, I have it all up and runnig nicely, load balanced on several machines and things are just zooming, I am very happy with Qmail. What I want to do is add a tag to all messages not destined for local users, so I want to set up another instance on qmail in a different directory with a seperate queue etc... (I have the 'taggin' program all ready, I just need to know how to get the messages to it) To do this with out the LDAP patches, it was a matter of setting up a ':remote' entry in my virtualdomains file and then setting up .qmail-remote-default to execute the message parser and then inject the message into the second queue... Now with the LDAP patches I don't even have a 'virtualdomains' file, so how would I go about setting this up? Anyone done this? should I just create a virtualdomains file and stick ':remote' in it and anything not found in the LDAP directory will get sent to ~aliases/.qmail-remote-default ? All help appreciated! Wil.
qmail delivers to wrong maildir
Hi, (I'm running qmail 1.03, serialmail 0.75, ucspi-tcp 0.84, fetchmail 4.6.4-1.1 and Debian Linux 2.1.

Changes to control/smtproutes take effect immediately. Write a simple shell script to ping your primary host, and run it from cron, every couple of minutes. If it doesn't ping, have the shell script rewrite control/smtproutes to point to the backup IP address. Afterwards, kick qmail-send in the ass to flush out the built up queue (that's optional).

RE: Radius Authentication
What I was planning on doing for true virtualization of our whole operation was to have Merit radius look at different users files depending on what IP the request is comming from. For example a client checks their e-mail on domain1.com radius would see that the request is from mail.domain1.com and look in the domain1 users file. and the same for someone checking their mail on domain2.com radius would need to see that the ckpasswd request is coming from the ip that is for mail.domain2.com in order to look in the domain2 users file. That way someone with the same username on domain1 can coexist with the other person with the same username on domain2. I have the ckpw-radius from Monte, I am just not having any luck running the perl. Maybe I'm missing something or another, but I installed IO 1.20 and Digest-MD5-2.07 wich i got from CPAN.

Radius Authentication
Greets people, I once again have a question. What I am trying to do is authenticate from a merit radius server for pop3. The plan is to be hosting a number of different domains on our mailserver and have them all authenticate from radius(i know redundant ;). There are two problems that I forsee with this. The radius clients file on the radius server looks at the IP of the incomming connection, secret, type, and the file to look for. for example the lines in clients would go something like this: #Client Name Key [type] [version] [prefix] # --- --- - 1.2.3.4 secret type=nas domain1 4.3.2.1 secret type=nas domain2 the obsticle I need to cross here is since the radius query would probaby only come from the main ip of the mail server we 'd only authenticate out of the domain1 users file. Is there a way to bind a radius client to perform queries from a certain IP so that the radius server can distinguish where to look? But first is first. Where can I find a C checkpasswd that will perform radius auth anyway? I've been tinkering with that perl version, but Its not working for me, and would like a C version mainly due to speed anyway.

Yeah, it doesn't matter. OK, so basically smtpd works when you connect to port 25, are queueing up in the maildir, the maildirsmtp command works when you run it manually, but it doesn't work automatically? Change your smtpd startup command to something like: /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -u 503 -g 502 0 smtp csh -c ' /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd cd /var/qmail/autoturn echo = >>/tmp/autoturnlog date >>/tmp/autoturnlog env >>/tmp/autoturnlog echo "exec /usr/local/bin/setlock -nx $TCPREMOTEIP/seriallock \ /usr/local/bin/maildirsmtp $TCPREMOTEIP autoturn-$TCPREMOTEIP-$TCPREMOTEIP AutoTURN" >>/tmp/autoturnlog exec /usr/local/bin/setlock -nx $TCPREMOTEIP/seriallock \ /usr/local/bin/maildirsmtp $TCPREMOTEIP autoturn-$TCPREMOTEIP-$TCPREMOTEIP AutoTURN ' 2>&1 | /var/qmail/bin/splogger smtpd 3 & Then connect to port 25 from your client and look at /tmp/autoturnlog.

But Bruce Guenter's nullmailer (http://em.ca/~bruceg/nullmailer/) allows you to use qmqp and still have queueing. I don't know much about it, but I think it supports smtp too. Chris

amavis pre6 doen't work with qmail
Hi all, i would ask if someone have already used the pre 6 verion of amavis with qmail, because i founded some trouble for the delivery , both loacal and remote, amavis says ABORT no local delivery available! and so on. Actually i use pre4 with the pacth founded here, but scanning manually it seems to be the same code inserted into the new pre6.Any info for resolve this??? thanks

No, it's "qmail" because that's how Dan wants it. E.g.: de5@sws5$ cd /usr/local/src/qmail-1.03/ de5@sws5$ grep Qmail * de5@sws5$ grep qmail *|wc 3223 15870176030 de5@sws5$ man qmail|head -15 qmail(7) qmail(7) NAME qmail - overview of qmail documentation INTRODUCTION qmail is a secure, reliable, efficient, simple message transfer agent. Users who want to control incoming messages should read dot-qmail(5). Available commands for the .qmail file >From ftp://koobera.math.uic.edu/www/qmail.html: What is it? qmail is a secure, reliable, efficient, simple message transfer agent. It is meant as a replacement for the entire sendmail-binmail system on typical Internet-connected UNIX hosts. Even when it's the first word of a sentence, Dan uses "qmail", not "Qmail". I'm not anal-retentive, I'm just trying to set the record straight. If you can find a single instance where DJB wrote "Qmail", I'll shut up about it. qmail is the e.e.cummings of MTA's. -Dave

I have followed the advice from one of the links on qmail.org, and used the users/assign file to break up my site into domains. This method seems fine for delivering to the directories, however, when it gets there, I can't seem to use a .qmail file to cause forwarding, or Maildir formats.. Any idea what I could be doing wrong? Some notes: * the entire directory tree for delivery is owned by the correct user/group. It is chmod 700, except for the .qmail files which are 600. * I am not sure what the difference between .qmail-user, .qmail-default and .qmail is? Anyone see any obvious gotchas?
