Re: Please Help: Concerning Qmail Footers. (fwd)
You are using perl -T. $messnum is not untainted, because you get it on the command line or whatever, which perl doesn't like in taint mode in a SUID root program (it might contain for instance ../../../etc/password). The C program preventing you from doing this is /usr/bin/perl. I assume: $msg = $messnum + 0; or: $messnum ~= /^(\d+)$/; then: $msg = $1; open FOO, "> /var/qmail/queue/$msg"; would work. -Sincerely, Fred (Frederik Lindberg, Infectious Diseases, WashU, St. Louis, MO, USA)

Hello all. How can I get qmail to relay mail for all machines in the same domain? I've added the domain to locals and rcpthosts. I also added something like 'xxx.xxx.xxx.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""' to my /etc/tcp.smtp file and then reloaded the file. I also restarted qmail (is this necessary?). I then try to send mail from a Win98 box in the same domain and get an error like '553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1)'. BTW - this email comes from a qmail machine! Thanks to all who helped! -Peter

Re: Urgent Please
rcpthosts is for which domains your mailserver accept mail to, and you only want to accept mail to domains that have relevance to your mailserver (either local accounts or as a secondary MX for another mailserver). By removing rcpthosts, you are accepting mail for all domains, and opening for abuse of your mailserver. Your "local" users are threaten as whatever client/server trying to deliver mail through your mailserver, until you tell qmail otherwise. That is what you are using tcpserver for, where you accept relaying of mail from a range of IP addresses (your local addresses!), and only allows deliver to locals/rcpthosts from anybody else.

The default qmail setup for amavis was slightly horked. You'll need to
apply the attached patch & configure it with: --enable-qmail
--enable-x-header=no. Once you have it installed, do:
cd /var/qmail/bin
mv qmail-remote qmail-remote-real
mv qmail-local qmail-local-real
ln -s /usr/sbin/scanmails qmail-remote
ln -s /usr/sbin/scanmails qmail-local
This will allow you to scan all incoming and outgoing mail for viruses.
If you do not feel comfortable moving the binaries around, you can just
add:
| /usr/sbin/scanmails $SENDER $RECEIPIENT
to /var/qmail/defaultdelivery/rc .
The attached patch fixes the following problems:
1. Should check $sender & $receiver against $SENDER & $RECEIPIENT instead
of $2 & $7.
2. Do not attempt to log to the logfile if $do_log != 'yes'.
3. Since qmail doesn't use the default $deliver program, do not check for
$deliver when attempting to pass on the mail.
I'm not sure why using formail to add the X-AntiVirus: header doesn't
work so always I disabled it. I think the proper step may be to reinvoke
qmail-inject but I'm not sure how that would work.

Recording relayed messages and headers
My company wants to monitor all incoming and outgoing messages that are relayed through the qmail relay. The qmail box forwards all mail for our domain to an internal mailserver using smtproutes, and has no local users. Is there any way to record all messages (and headers) of incoming and outgoing messages that are relayed by qmail? Thanks, Fox Information Security Analyst [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You cannot do this, because control/smtproutes is handled by
qmail-remote(8). It checks the first argument against control/smtproutes'
first column. Here's the excerpt from the appropriate man page:
SYNOPSIS
qmail-remote host sender recip [ recip ... ]
You have to use control/virtualdomains and a selector script like this:
control/virtualdomains:
domain:domainprocessor

`/var/qmail/bin/sforwarder %u %h`
/var/qmail/bin/sforwarder:
#!/usr/bin/perl
($user, $domain) = @ARGV;
open(I,"/var/qmail/alias/domains-$domain");
while() {
s/^([^#]*)#.*$/$1/;
next unless ($rx, $host) =~ (/^(.+) ([a-zA-Z.-]+)\s*$/);
if ($user =~ /${rx}/) {
print "$user\@$host\n";
close I;
exit;
}
}
print "$domain-$user\n";
close I;
/var/qmail/alias/domains-domain:
^albert$ mail.albert.com # albert wants his own mail
^[a-k].+ ahost.domain.com # ahost does users a-k
#^z.+ zone.domain.com # this zone is currently down

QMail relay questions
I am having a problem with QMail and relaying - When I send mail from my machine, relay it through the qmail machine, off to a site that uses the MAPS/DUL list for blocking, it bounces. I purposely blocked all the IP's on the DULs list except the mail relay. What it looks like to me is that the qmail machine isn't writing a new header on the message when it sends it ...

The key phrase there is "on this host". This applies to local users who inject mail via qmail-inject (or /var/qmail/bin/sendmail) and who don't specifically set a host/domain in their From field. In your case, the mail is being injected remotely via SMTP, so this doesn't apply. -Dave

They may seat waiting in the outgoing queue. For various reasons. Broken link to the destination, dead destination server, "insufficient_system_storage" there, temporary DNS failure,... About "not yet processed" ones: apart from some situation when a message originated internally is just being processed by qmail system (AFAIK), I seem to remember this when my server was receiving some big message from distant, slow sonnected site. Part of the message was already under /var/spool/qmail but not complete. > When I type qmail-qread and see something like these hypothetical results: > > done remote addr0 > done remote addr1 > done remote addr2 > remote addr3 > remote addr4 > > Are the last two messages those that have not yet been processed? How Not rather. Most probably they are waiting for being delivered to remote destination. Because of the reasons that I listed earlier. Such figure is usual seen when one message has got more than 1 recipient and 3 recipients have been already reached but 2 left haven't been reachable yet. > about the first three "done" messages?

Yes, these ones marked as "done" have been really delivered to recipients' servers. Hope it helps. If I'm misleading, some wiser person is encouraged to correct me. -- Tomasz Papszun SysAdm @ TP S.A.

Temporary_error_on_maildir_delivery.
Hello, This is a very very vauge question I know, but can anyone tell me what exactly this error means?? I realize it means it can't deliver to this maildir, but I have a .qmail-postmaster file in my ~alias directory. I checked my queue and have found about 450 messages stuck waiting to be delivered to postmaster. Thank you for any assistance you might be able to provide. starting delivery 245308: msg 310554 to local [EMAIL PROTECTED] 0015 status: local 1/10 remote 1/20 0033 delivery 245308: deferral: Temporary_error_on_maildir_delivery._(#4.3.0)/
bin mail on Solaris 7.
Well internet email works great but I have a problems using bin mail to deliver locally. I've compile everything but I don't have the qial to alias to binmail so how do i set it up to put the mail ins /var/mail/spool/usr. Anyone does this Thanks "There's a fine line between genius and insanity." G. Ryan Fawcett

"From:" and server-domain comparison?
I've noticed, that quite a lot of SMTP servers is comparing a domain of e-mail sender address with domain of SMTP-server he's using. When the domains differs, recipient SMTP-server refuses to accept e-mail for delivery. Perhaps I missed something, but is it possible to make qmail to work this way? pozdrawiam / regards Zbigniew Baniewski

LWQ clearly states (see http://Web.InfoAve.Net/~dsill/lwq.html#download) that daemontools 0.53 must be used and that 0.61 won't work. Did you really miss that, or did you choose to ignore it? Install daemontools 0.53 following the LWQ directions, and everything will work. If you have to have daemontools 0.61, you're on your own. -Dave

AFAIK Eudora 4.2 is finally free of the bug, but I honestly haven't seen any new "features" that improve the software over 3.0 Pro (with which I haven't had any problems with for over 4 years). If you're an ISP and you're looking for something to pass out, Eudora Lite 1.5.4 is the latest 1.x version that I know of, and if you separate out the 16-bit from the 32-bit stuff (and remove a .bmp on the 32-bit side as well, IIRC) they can be made to fit on one 1.44 Meg floppy. Just be sure to find out what OS people are running, I don't think the 16-bit & 32-bit stuff is interchangeable (I don't think the 16-bit stuff runs in Winblows 9x/NT).

Various newbie questions
Hello all. I have been trying to get qmail to work with little success. I have probably made some mistakes. Let me start off with the, IMO, worst: I removed /var/log/maillog thinking that it was writen by qmail and that qmail would recreate it. Wrong, maillog is writen by syslog. So, I give syslog a HUP and maillog returns but ever since then the log is empty and I don't know why. The original problem I had was something like 'can not opendir todo' in the maillog as well as '940965762.308214 delivery 345: deferral: Unable_to_chdir_to_maildir._(#4.2.1)/' any time I try to mail a local message using 'echo to: me | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject'. I thought this would be a permissions problem but I went back through the install instructions in LWQ and everything is owned by who it should be owned by. Likewise all the processes are owned correctly. I am at a bit of a loss. Any suggestions? BTW OS - Linux RH6.0. qmail was installed using tarballs and LWQ. Peter Abplanalp
Question about qstat and qread
Hello qmail gurus: I am just trying to gain an improved understanding of the results that are returned by the qmail-qstat and qmail-qread programs. When I type qmail-qstat and get a result that says something like: messages in queue: 5 messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 2 I what exactly has happened to the three (5-2) messages that have been processed? When I type qmail-qread and see something like these hypothetical results: done remote addr0 done remote addr1 done remote addr2 remote addr3 remote addr4 Are the last two messages those that have not yet been processed? How about the first three "done" messages? How long will they be reported in the output of the "qmail-qread" command and are those messages really done being sent to their intended recipients? Thanks

Re: defaulthost and Eudora
I stand corrected. I have tried sending to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and the address is not rewritten. BUT here is a cut from the QMAIL FAQ regarding host masquerading. Am I not doing what the FAQ suggests? I (think I) know what I am doing but may be using incorrect terminology. Sendmail does what I am asking with the same kind of setup I want with Qmail. ie send from Eudora as [EMAIL PROTECTED] which is "re-written" to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" when sent. I did think that Qmail would change the host name on sending externally but this does not happen. Many thanks for the reply. 1. Controlling the appearance of outgoing messages 1.1. How do I set up host masquerading? All the users on this host, zippy.af.mil, are users on af.mil. When joe sends a message to fred, the message should say ``From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]'' and ``To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]'', without ``zippy'' anywhere.
