The environment variable won't be set once rules.pl has exited. An exit code of 100 will bounce the mail. I expect you need to forward the mail within rules.pl to do what you want. > Now, I can see the following problems - IMHO is it not desirable to > pipe the whole message the rule.pl, else AFAIK the perl program may > have a huge file in memory.

tcpserver
I'm running Linux Slackware 2.0.36, Qmail 1.03, this is a mail only server. Qmail is installed and running. A couple month's ago I tried to install tcpserver and with the help from many in this group it would still not work at all, even when it said it was installed. I have given it a rest and would like to try again. I downloaded the release again .84 extracted it in it's own directory ran make and then make install setup. In the inetd.conf I have removed the smtp line and replaced it with: tcpserver -u 7791 -g 2108 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd & when I restarted the server I tried to send mail to it and would receive the error in the logs unable to establish an smtp connection. Thanks for any help in advance. Bob Ross
Strange Problem
I have qmail running. These are the relevant processes: /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -r -x/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c100 4478 ?S 0:00 tcpserver 0 pop-3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup orbital. 11780 ?S 0:00 qmail-send 11781 ?S 0:00 splogger qmail 11782 ?S 0:00 qmail-lspawn ./Mailbox 11783 ?S 0:00 qmail-rspawn 11784 ?S 0:00 qmail-clean the two tcpserver lines correspond to the pop and smtp servers. As it stands qmail accepts messages (no error or bounce returned) but I can see no reason why the emails are not ending up in the correct popbox. I use vpopmail to handle the pop accounts. Is there anyone who has an idea for me to have a go at or do you need more info?

I do not believe that it should be a POP3 client's job to sort downloaded mail in any way, shape, fashion, or form. A POP3 client should simply download the mail from a remote mailbox into a local mailbox. If you need to do any kind of post-processing on downloaded mail, use any one of many mail filtering programs out there to do the job.

Hey folks, If mail comes 2 my Qmail server via SMTP, everything is fine. But, if I get mail via Fetchmail, Qmail does not how 2 deliver it. For some stupid reason Fetchmail strips off the delivery information. Log: Oct 9 18:05:25 guts fetchmail[32199]: 1 message for [EMAIL PROTECTED] at pop.sitelite.nl (2506 bytes).

Create the files concurrencyremote and concurrencylocal in your /var/qmail/control-directory and put the appropriate values there. Then give qmail-send a kill -HUP.

RE: Queue stalls
> If you think there are messages in the queue that qmail-send doesn't > see, identify one by searching the queue. See if you can determine > when/how it was received. OK, I'm finally on to something. I'm seeing this in my logs: warning: trouble opening local/xx/x; will try again later warning: trouble opening remote/xx/x; will try again later So, I went into /var/qmail/queue/mess/xx and looked at the files. They look fine. They are owned qmailq.qmail with mode 0644. After a few days of not restarting qmail, there are hundreds of messages like this and there is no rhyme or reason as to the directory/inode where they live. If I restart qmail, they disappear without further error. That leave the question: why can qmail-queue put them there in the first place but qmail-send has trouble opening them until it has been restarted? --Kevin

It's not technically difficult, anyway (you just test for the emptiness/non-emptiness of the directory $MAILDIR/new). Hi folks, I' ve running a Qmail 1.03 server for our intranet. Now I want to set up an external mailgateway behind a firewall. All mails from the inernal Qmail server to a remote site should be send directly into a POP3 mailbox of the mailgateway. If the mailgateway recognize it has outgoing messages it should contact the mailserver of our ISP to transfer the hole messages from outgoing mailbox. In the other direction the mailgateway should poll all incoming messages from the POP3 mailbox from our ISP's mailserver and should directly send all messages to the internal Qmail server.
