inetd[]: smtp/tcp server failing (looping)
Each morning I trigger a queue retry on one qmail server which only has messages for one other qmail server. Typically about 100 messages (most of them are short mailing list messages). Most mornings, the recipient qmail server dies with the following error from inetd: Sep 22 10:06:53 linux inetd[383]: smtp/tcp server failing (looping), service terminated I need to send inetd a HUP to bring it back up.

I experienced that problem (inetd stops listening on the SMTP port) with qmail 1.0.1 (no patches) running under an old Redhat Linux 4.1 installation. switching from inetd to tcpserver for the SMTP port, did the trick.

Mailer-daemon returns full message
Hi, I noticed, that when is problem with delivering mail, qmail tries to return full mail to sender, not only some error message. If sender sends a mail with 5MB attachment to nonexistent recipient, 5MB message is bounced to postmaster and to sender - is it a feature, or what ;-)? Is it true, that qmail first received full message and then checks if it is deliverable? Is there any patch, or I am stupid and I need to patch myself? Thanks for Your answers, -- Jan Stanik [EMAIL PROTECTED] Telenor Internet,s.r.o
RE: Mailer-daemon returns full message
there's a patch to limit the bounce size, see the qmail page or in the mailing archives.

qmail alias question
Hi, i have a problem in setting up alias forwarding Mail to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' should be forwarded to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' so I set up a file ~alias/.qmail-user.name containing only one line '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' but nothing will be deleivered. I think the problem is the '.' (dot) in 'user.name' how can I fix this ? TIA Manfred

additional env variable for qmail 2.0 - SIZE - can you add this, dan?
hi,
two month ago i pathed qmail-1.03 (many thanks to david harris) the way
i got a new environment variable called SIZE. now i can route mails
depending on their size - that's cool!
eg:
| condredirect [EMAIL PROTECTED] /var/qmail/mbin/sizecheck "$SIZE"
$DEFAULT" "$SENDER"
the shell script sizecheck exits 1 when the mail should get to the
recipient (depending on $SENDER, $DEFAULT, $SIZE)
if $DEFAULT is not allowed to get the mail (oversize) vieadmin will get
it!
the patch looks like this:
in qmail-local.c, line 70
/* patch for MESSAGESIZE */
struct stat filesize_stat;
char filesize_str[30];
/* end patch */
in qmail-local.c, line 497 (the line before: if (!env_put2("HOST",host))
temp_nomem(); )
/* patch MESSAGESIZE */
if ( !fstat(0, &filesize_stat) && filesize_stat.st_size != 0 )
if ( sprintf(filesize_str, "%i", filesize_stat.st_size) )
env_put2("SIZE", filesize_str);
/* end patch */
works great and maybe dan can insert this in qmail-2.0?

smtp server as a relay
I want to allow selected clients to use my smtp server as a relay. I have used tcpserver, but I only can restrict the access controling the IP of the sender and I want to control the email address of the sender, not the IP. Is this possible?? How can I do that?? Thanks Ana Belén Santos Pintor

This is also within the standard functionallity of tcpserver, but I don't believe it is secure to allow relaying based on email address only.

Did you create the Maildir with qmail/bin/maildirmake ? And as far as i know your permissions must be 700 for your Maildir and should be 644 for .qmail.

RE: smtp server as a relay
I was wrong, tcpserver uses TCPREMOTEINFO, not the emailaddress (see the manpages for tcpserver).

Aack,_child_crashed._(#4.3.0)
Hello, I'm running qmail 1.03 on a linux machine (Debian 2.1 w/ kernel 2.2.12). I came in this morning and was getting the following error in syslog for every local delivery attempt: Sep 22 07:05:19 thom qmail: 938001919.847530 delivery 8708: deferral: Aack,_child_crashed._(#4.3.0)/ Unfortunately, I can't seem to reproduce the error. Also, the search engine for this mailing list seems to be down, else I wouldn't bother sending this to the list until after checking that. What I'm wondering is, is there something specific to look for should this happen again? Should I run an strace on qmail-lspawn, since it only happened for local deliveries? Thanks in advance for any help... - Carey
Re: Maildir setup problem (newbie!)
Thanks to everyone for their help! I did have the correct entry in .qmail (./Maildir/). My problem turned out to be that while I had manually created Maildir, I had not created the subdirectories. Using makemaildir to create the Maildir directory tree worked fine. thanks again Michael Slade

I.e., not in the incoming maildir. I've got a related issue. My partner has put an item on my todo list to move all the mailboxes from the user's home directories to a sub-directory. The reason for this is that apparently many of our customers can't resist the impulse to put random files into the mail folders. These are people who are sitting on PCs or Macs and see their home directory as a folder on their desktop. Apparently when they see a subfolder with the name of one of their contacts, they forget that it's a mail box and think it's a handy place to put data that just magically appeared. One could easily argue (as I attempted to do) that there is no problem here because users know what they create, but in reality, as we get increasingly ignorant users, that assumption becomes less and less tenable.

I looked at the archived message you posted about, as well as every other result I could find, but none of them seem to apply to this situation. Here's some more information/clarification. I'm using fastforward to handle virtual domains as well as local aliases. The message delivery attempt that I posted above was to 'alias', which gets forwarded to 'user'. All that is in '~/user/.qmail' is './Maildir/', so there's no sort external programs being called. After that one delivery failed with that error message, _every_ local delivery started failing (~150 delivery attempts before I caught it). I killed qmail-send so I could try restarting everything, but when I ran 'sh /var/qmail/rc', I'd get a segmentation fault. I suppose I should have checked out qmail-start to see if that was the cause of it or what, but I was more concerned with getting the server functional. After a reboot, everything worked fine. This was all after about 5 days of uptime. Might there be some sort of leak somewhere that could use up enough resources to cause this to happen? All the machine runs is qmail, qmail-pop3d and ssh. Maybe 2.2.12 isn't be best linux kernel version to be running? I'm at a loss. Hopefully, if this happens again it'll be at a time of day where I can afford some downtime. (: - Carey

Relaying to an external host
Newbie alert. I've got qmail 1.03/smtp/pop3 running nicely on Caldera 2.2 (thanks to all who helped with the checkpassword problem!). Next wrinkle: I need to set up relaying so that (1) any mail *not* for our local domain gets sent to our ISP's smtp server and (2) the ISP's machine will forward to us any mail destined for us (the ISP hosts our actual internet mail domain). The readmes and man pages haven't been too much help. From what I can tell, inbound SMTP really shouldn't require anything (other than opening the firewall). Am I right, or is there some configuration needed for inbounds? As far as outbounds, it appears that doing the following should work: echo > /var/qmail/control/smtproutes chmod 644 /var/qmail/control/smtproutes Is it this simple, or am I missing something?

Starting qmail with "supervise" - ./run file
Almost all the sample .rc scripts for qmail run it under tcpserver via the "supervise" utility. The docs for supervise refer to ./run files and, while I understand the theory behind supervise's operation, I haven't a clue what my ./run script files should contain for each of qmail-send, qmail-smtpd and qmail-pop3d. It seems to me the commands to run these are already contained on the command line in the scripts, eg.: supervise /var/supervise/qmail/smtpd tcpserver -x/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb \ -u 501 -g 900 0 25 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd & Any help would be appreciated.

If you're using scripts that use the 0.53 syntax, you'll have to install daemontools 0.53. If you want to use 0.61, you'll have to create the appropriate run files or find some that someone else has written. In "Life with qmail" I use 0.53: I tell you where to download it, how to install it, and provide the scripts to use it. I haven't switched to 0.61 yet because the setup is a little more complicated, and 0.53 works perfectly well. -Dave
Need help!
Hi all, I'm absolutely new to qmail and I'm working on the installation since yesterday evening 6 pm. There are many problems I have and I don't know with which I should begin. But there is a language question to you who wants to answer me: do you speak german too? If not, then I have problems with some words... :(( Let's go to the setup problems. I'm hosting several virtual domains and told qmail in /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains the names. I restarted qmail-send and postings to the domain are logged with the syslog entry "... delivery 50: deferral: unable_to_find_alias_user!/". Where do I have to write in the alias? I don't think in /var/qmail/alias. I didn't found something about the .qmail file in /home/user. The next problem is, that I must relay selected users. I've read the documentation more than one time but it won't run. What do I make wrong? I have no ideas. What do I have to start other than qmail-pop3d or qmail-popup so I can read mails over modem (if I remember right then it is ppp)? You see I have much problems. Other will come in the next days. Thanks for your help in advance. Thomas
address correlation in qmail lists
has anyone written, or does anyone know of any patches/add-ons to qmail or MLMs that will happily coexist with qmail that handle final delivery address correlation? e.g.: for the following assume that first.last@ and username@ are both delivered to the same mailbox on some remote machine not running qmail. if i define a list, list1, with two members, [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED], when i send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] the user should receive one copy of the message. also, if i create a list, list1, and define [EMAIL PROTECTED] as a member, then create a second list, list2, with the members [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED], then when mail is sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] the user should only receive one copy of the massage. also, if i define list1 as in the previous test and send mail to '[EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED]' or '[EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED]' then the user should only receive one copy of the message.

You do have a user called "alias" in /etc/passwd, don't you? Did you verify that the installation worked before you added the virtual domains? >Where do I have to write in >the alias?

It's not clear what you're trying to do. Do you have a UNIX/qmail box attached to the Internet that you're trying to access from a Windows PC at home? -Dave

What if someone on glurb.org sends a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]? What if [EMAIL PROTECTED] is on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list, and someone on blah.org sends a message to "[EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED]"? The only way to eliminate all duplicates is to catch them on the receiving system. E.g., I use the following procmail recipes: # Use a 10Kb cache of Message IDs received to avoid duplicate messages :0 Whc: .msgid.lock | formail -D 10240 .msgid.cache # Save probable duplicates for inspection :0 a: spool/dupes Which file messages with duplicate Message-ID's in a "dupes" folder--because sometimes Message-ID's aren't as unique as they're supposed to be. -Dave

They're of the form: ouroboros.demesne.com:ouroboros proshaven.demesne.com:bjf-proshaven demesne.com:demesne and the second part (after the ":") identifies the user who will control the virtual domain.

So: what exactly is in your virtualdomains, and do each of the prefix users specified there actually exist on your system?

The user you see is "yildiz". He exists as a real user on my >system, means > stands in /etc/passwd. Okay so far. I'm now wondering if I'm off on the wrong branch of the debug tree, though; the error message seems to say it *couldn't* find the alias user, but we just did. Still, let's run down to the bottom just to see. What *user* at www.1areisen.de was the test email addressed to? Let's say it's user fred (that is, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>); then the local delivery that will result is to yildiz-fred. If user yildiz doesn't have either a .qmail-fred or a .qmail-default file in his home directory, then the delivery will fail. (I don't think it will fail with the error message given, though, which is bugging me). > > Say it was to [EMAIL PROTECTED]; my next question will be, is there > > a user stockhau in your /etc/passwd file (since that's the controlling > > user for the virtual domain 1asonne.de. > > > And is there a .qmail-default > > file, or a .qmail-somebody file, in ~stockhau? > > No. Only a .qmail file with the entry "./Mailbox/" so like the documentation tolds >me. You've probably already seen the message from another user pointing out that the trailing slash is for maildir format, not for mailbox format.

Re: Need help!
Also I just noticed that my message to you bounced... You should probably re-read the documentation for .qmail files and not try to use procmail yet until you get the rest of the system working. I can understand that the existing documentation may be difficult for a non English-first-language person. I'm sure many of us found the DENSE style difficult to parse at first. Hi.

It is working now!
Thanks everybody. I'm not sure what did it. I killed all qmail processes (thanks Lyndon!) and added the .qmail file to my home directory and restarted. Now it works. Thanks a bunch! Oh, Luis, yes. My real mail server (as viewed from the outside) is mx.netwizards.net. I am trying to get everything setup here locally for the "big move". But I figured my mailer wouldn't know the difference.

Install help
I am installing qmail on a test system, using "lwq" as instructions.
If all goes well I will use qmail on my RHLinux6.0 box to distribute mail to
clients on our local windows network (Netscape messenger clients).
My problem has come after the build when I want to do
./config-fast the.full.hostname
I have a dial up connection to my isp and a dynamic IP address. I wish to
set up:
fetchmail to collect my mail from isp mailbox (several accounts such as
[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] etc)
then my windows boxes will point their mua at qmail (with netscape
messenger)
to get their mail at their workstation.
So my Linux box does not have the.full.hostname - only a name ("my name")
I hope someone can help me with this
Regards,
Stephen Lavelle
PS thanks to Dave for lwq and sorry for long winded post.

The long answer is you could use it, but not with qmail-pop3d. You'd need to write your own pop3 daemon that worked with the qmail-popup/checkpassword semantics. If you don't want to use Maildirs, don't use qmail-popup/qmail-pop3d. Chris

I have seen references to patches to imapd to allow it to support maildir. Can't help you much more than that. As for security, UW's imap daemon supports Kerberos V through GSSAPI (but I don't know how available kerberos is outside the US). It also supports CRAM-MD5 hashed passwords, but this requires a cleartext file of passwords to reside on the imap server. Lastly, I'm also using sslwrap (http://www.rickk.com/sslwrap) to allow SSL encrypted connection from Outlook Express and Netscape to access imapd. imapd then uses whatever PAM module I like to authenticate the user. (We use krb5, but there are also nis, NT-PDC, and possibly LDAP authentication modules available.) --Ryan Cleary ___ Ryan Cleary <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

I'm looking for the envelop _sender_. Normally that ends up in the Return-Path: upon final delivery. -- Jos Backus _/ _/_/_/ "Reliability means never _/ _/ _/ having to say you're sorry." _/ _/_/_/ -- D. J.

virtual domain and aliases
Hi to all! I already have the following entry in my virtualdomains file: doods.net.ph:ecj If I send mails to [EMAIL PROTECTED], no problem. However, if I send to an alias, say [EMAIL PROTECTED], it remains in the queue. I already have a user named 'pogi' and have .qmail-pogi in ~ecj. What else am I missing here? Thanks in advance!

But if you really want to do it, try this patch: I know that it is a bad idea, but my problem is that the user that I have given a mail account in my system has dinamic IP addressing. So, how can I allow using my smtp server as a relay to this user and no for nobady else if I dont know his IP address??? thanks > > > http://www.palomine.net/qmail/relaymailfrom.patch > > Chris Ana Santos
