Re: Urgent Please
Nope, rcpthost includes domains that the server accept, it can be local domain or just a domain that the server queues mail for ex. secondary MX for a domain. It does not have anything to do with the local users. If a domain is listed in rcpthost, anybody in the "world" is allowed to deliver mail to that domain, even if that doman is not local on that server. Use tcpserver (and do not run it from inetd), and set the relaying from there.

You are doing the correct thing. qmail stores the envelope recipient in the Delievered-To: line, along with a prefix showing the controlling user. Stripping that prefix yields the SMTP envelope. Any errors beyond that would in all likelihood come from popweasel or Exchange. A lot of our customers use MDaemon (another windows MTA), and they rely on extracting info out of Delivered-To, and they have no problems. > meanwhile i am rather confused. i am not able to figure out, how to get the > original SMTP-To information out of a virtual-domain mail. > should i try to insert a "Recieved For:" (read that somewhere) line into the > envelope or is there anything else i can do? It might be easier to get qmail to add an X-Envelope-To: header to all mails for that customer. Then get pullmail to use that header to extract the address. It's worked very well for us in the past. Something like the following should do the trick: If you have in control/virtualdomains: customer.com:user Then, touch ~user/.qmail-finaldelivery Then put the following in ~user/.qmail-default |(echo X-Envelope-To: "$DEFAULT@$HOST"; cat) | qmail-inject -f "$SENDER" -- |user-finaldelivery Then ask pullmail/popweasel to use the X-Envelope-To header. -- See complete headers for more info

Is there a Hotmail clone webmail system.
hi,Last I asked about the webmail,and got many appreciated reply.I think I have made a mistake. what I want is hotmail like webmail system. I have installed Atdot(www.atdot.org) on my server. It is cool, but there are a little feature not be included (like users quota limit,virtualhost etc),and it use sendmail,which processes mail more slowly than qmail. above all ,the I dont know how may users can Atdot works well with on my Intel PIII RH6.0 server.

Completely Off-topic: A "good" MUA for Windows?
Hi, All. I know this is VERY off-topic, but do you know any "good" MUA for Windows? I'd like to recommend a reasonable (that is, not bloated and not very much broken) mail reader for some friends that use Windows, but I just don't know what to tell them. So, I was wondering if you could suggest something.

I would be very much surprised if there's absolutely no software in the Win32 world that can download remote mail via any standard protocol, and dump it into an MSexchange.

RFC: backoff enhancement idea
I have one user whose mailbox drops connections on a machine that is up and generally accepting mail. Currently this user has five messages waiting to be sent to them, each one getting progressively longer retry times. I would like to see the retry time for new message for a remote address that already has a temporary failure associated with it start at the current longer delay time, instead of each message backing off on its own schedule. Sound good? Would this require much additional space within qmail-send? Perhaps a file of backoff times could be maintained and read only when a delivery has temporarily failed, to prevent additional memory use by qmail-send What thinks everyone? ___ David Nicol 816.235.1187 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Enough already.

This is impractical for many sites where 24x7 connectivity is prohibitively expensive, and where the organization is UNIX-clueless (e.g. a MicroSoft shop). At such sites, the client organization typically has a machine which dials into the ISP once or twice a day. Queued up mail on the Exchange server gets transfered to the ISP and likewise they want mail which has queued on the ISP mail server to start feeding into their LAN server. Yes, this is very much like the way UUCP is used but I haven't seen MS Visual-UUCP hit the market yet :-) And if it did, the MS Administrator would probably not have the skills to configure it. ETRN is a bit of a hack and a security concern but it does work. I'd love to hear other suggestions for situations like the above where there's not full-time connectivity and they don't have UNIX/UUCP gurus on staff.

POP issues
Hello Everyone, I had qmail installed and working just fine on my machines using a dialup connection (ppp). I have a "public" machine that the MX records point to. That machine treats my mail as a virtual domain, and stuffs all mail for a given domain to a specific user's mailbox. I download periodically from it to the server at my house using maildir2smtp. That part appears to work. I'm using Netscape's Communicator on my Win95 box to download the mail from the local server to read it. That was working fine also. Then I switched to a cable modem setup, with Roadrunner. After finally getting everything squared away, the mail is being delivered to my local Maildir without problem. And I can read it from the local server using Mutt (That's how I'm writing this message). BUT, when I try to have my workstation get the mail using POP via Netscape, it's saying that: "The mail server responded: This user has no $HOME/Maildir Please enter a new password" Any suggestions what might be wrong. As far as I know, I've not changed anything to do with qmail specifically, just the PPP vs IP Masq setup. Any ideas on how to debug? Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you can. Thanks. This just in... restarting qmail-pop3d seems to fix the problem. This may be related to my having to manually edit resolv.conf after startup to add my local domain and dns. -Scott Sharkey [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Limiting simultaneous SMTP sessions with tcpserver
I recently had a case where one neighbour host, also running qmail, suddenly opened over 100 connections to my machine, and used up all the slots, with the result that my customers could not send mail. While I know there are various different solutions to this problem (like a different IP for internal customers, asking this neighbour to use serialmail for backlogged mail), I still wanted to setup session limits, so I did this: tcpserver -vRHlusers.africaonline.co.ke -c500 -x/qmail/etc/tcpserver.smtp.cdb \ -u102 -g101 0 25 /qmail/scripts/session-limit.sh 2>&1 & The session-limit.sh script checks to see how many connections are active from a particular IP, and if this new would exceed a certain number, then to send a 421 code to the client and disconnect. Otherwise it runs the normal qmail-smtpd session-limit looks like this: --- start script --- #!/bin/sh PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/bin" if [ -z "$SESSIONLIMIT" ] then exec /qmail/scripts/qmail-smtpd-wrapper.sh elif [ $SESSIONLIMIT -eq 0 ] then exec /qmail/scripts/qmail-smtpd-wrapper.sh fi cd /qmail/etc/locks start=1 while [ $start -le $SESSIONLIMIT ] do setlock -n $TCPREMOTEIP.$start /qmail/scripts/qmail-smtpd-wrapper.sh 2> /dev/null if [ $? -eq 0 ] then rm -f $TCPREMOTEIP.$start exit fi start=`expr $start + 1` done # if the above fails, then we tell the client to go away echo 421 Limit of $SESSIONLIMIT simultaneous connections from $TCPREMOTEIP reached. Come back later. echo "smtpd: Dropped excess session from $TCPREMOTEIP (max $SESSIONLIMIT)" >&2 --- end script --- The session limit can be set by tcpserver, in the form of an environment variable SESSIONLIMIT. Thus each host can have its own session limits. I have tested this, and it seems to work OK. If anyone has any constructive comments about my approach to the problem, I'd welcome them. I'm using the file system as a database to keep track of how many sessions there are from each host. I realise that over time, there is a possibility of collecting "stale" files in the locks directory. It would be nice if tcpserver had such an ability built-in, where it kept track of connectiong IPs in memory, and this would be faster, and less kludgy. -- See complete headers for more info

Sender domain must exist The bounce message bounce because the mailserver does a check against sender domain. If this fails, it denies the request.

How, then, would I make an exception to send > [EMAIL PROTECTED] to one of those 50 accounts? Hi I think I don´t really understand, where the problem is. For your question, IMHO 1) just create the [EMAIL PROTECTED] as you would create any of the other accounts you have for domain.com, and make a forward from there to the pop-account 2) use users/assign.

Hi This can´t work, because when an MTA wants to send mail to host xxx.yyy.zzz (or ip aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd), it checks the DNS for a MX-Record for that domain - the mx-record tells which mailserver is responsible for a certain domain - just like A-Records say which ip-address belongs to a certain hostname. I don´t know if it´s possible to put MX-Records for IP-Addresses in the DNS (could be, because there _are_ reverse lookups) - but I´ve never seen anybody do this.
