Selective POP3 redirection ?
Hi, I was wondering if there were any add-ons to qmail for doing selective POP3 redirection. I have found that using a package called netpipes, running under tcpserver, I am able to achieve total redirection from one server to another, but what about selectively ? I had thought about storing username:hostname pairs in a file or database, and writing a wrapper which would run qmail-popup (etc.) if the user was local, or running netpipes if the user was remote, in order to hand them off to the correct server (the server where their mail is sitting). This does not seem as straightforward as I would like though. The other idea I have would be to modify qmail-pop3d somehow, so that when authentication had been done under checkpassword on the main mail server, a session could then be established with a remote server. Does anyone else have any existing code , or other ideas about how I might be able to achieve this ? The "rationale" for doing this is that if I have to migrate from one server to another, I want to be able to provide a transparant service to users, whilst moving mailboxes. Thanks for any help. Regards, Rich Aldridge, Cable Internet, Telewest Communications.

Re: smtpd help!
I had this same problem starting a few days ago. Turns out, without telling any of its customers, mindspring has stopped allowing access SMTP servers other than their own. Your server may work, mine did. Unfortunately, even if it does you'll never get to it through mindspring. If you telnet to port 25 of you server from mindspring there will be no response. For a little more informatio look at http://help.mindspring.com/modules/01400/01424.htm Hope you haven't spent too long with this yet, Ben Matt Heatley wrote: > Ok, I believe I've read everything available about configuring smtpd with > qmail for selective relaying.

E-mail only clients
Hello, I am configuring my new Internet System in such a way that i will also have users, subscribed for e-mail only service. So i would like to have mail-servers in a way that these users will have access to them, but they cannot browse the net. I am thinking of making a different server for these users and have mail messages delivered to outer world through my major mail server. These users will dial to this server (with multiple serial card) and will have SMTP/POP access. Any other idea? TIA Jason

smtpd help!
Ok, I believe I've read everything available about configuring smtpd with qmail for selective relaying. Now, I can't seem to get anything to work :). The problem seems to be that *something* (though I can't figure out what) is listening on port 25. If I change to port 24 everything works fine. I need to figure out what is running but I just can't seem do it.. is there a command that lists port and process? netstat doesn't seem to do it. My inetd.conf file,the output of ps waux, and the qmail startup lines are included below... ANY help is greatly appreciated at this point The basic problem is that even when I don't start qmail I have *something* listening on port 25... if I use nmap (a portscanner) on my server it shows port 25 as "filtered" Any ideas? I'm about at the end of my rope.. thanks!! Matt Error rec'd in Outlook mail client: Unable to connect to the Server:...

RE: secondary MX on a Qmail host.
First of all, qm1.asimba.com is NOT a secondary MX host. The only MX recored for asimba.com points to smtp.asimba.com which is a CNAME for ms1.asimba.com. Before you do ANYTHING with qm1.asimba.com, fix your DNS so that it matches either: asimba.com. IN MX 10smtp.asimba.com. smtp.asimba.com.IN A209.0.108.112 ms1.asimba.com. IN A209.0.108.112 or: asimba.com. IN MX 10ms1.asimba.com. ms1.asimba.com. IN A209.0.108.112 Then, add another MX record for asimba.com like this: asimba.com. IN MX 20qm1.asimba.com. What you have right now is a mess. The above will straighten it out and get things working correctly.

Qmail Problems
Hi, I have just tried to setup qmail, unsuccessfully! I wanted to use Maildir to store the mail which I got working ok, the only problem I was having was trying to receive mail and trying to send mail outside of my domain. I could send local mail ok but when I tried to pick it up it said there were no new messages. I assume it was accessing the old /var/spool/mail for message. Could not work out how to tell qmail to access /Maildir Trying to send mail outside of my domain resulted in a message saying " . no relay" I checked the FAQ and did what it said, changed the line in inetd.conf, edited hosts.allow and added tcp-env: 203.57.50.: setenv = RELAYCLIENT but I still couldn't relay. Help! Regards, Steve
