AW: remote users sending mail prob
So you have two ways: First the bad way: Kill your rcpthosts which will cause your server to be an open relay. A variation of this is checking the sender address (see qmail.org for this patch) which is easy to fake, so your an open relay again. Second the good way: Apply one of the packages on qmail.org which allow smtp-connections after an authentication over pop3. That's the way most mass providers like gmx go. The pop3-connection saves the ip and you're allowed to send mails for a certain time. Third the other good way: Patch your qmail-smtpd to allow authentication over esmtp. There's a package on qmail.org you'll have to use in combination with a checkpassword program. If you use this, you need to use a MUA which supports this smtp-authentication (like outlook, netscape).

Just look on www.qmail.org for Mrs. Brisby has written a user/password based authentication mechanism for qmail-smtpd. This lets your microsoft's outlook express supports (outgoing mail server user name) and netscape 4.5 (and above-betas) users securely roam. Users can use a slightly modified version of their own checkpassword.c program as outlined in my own vchkpw.c that I use.

Re: Problems installing the package from moni.msci.memphis.edu
It is not going to work: you are using qmail-pop3d but try to deliver with procmail. You want to use maildrop instead of procmail because maildrop can deliver to maildir. On the qmail list, people will give you a pointer where you can get maildrop (perhaps Sam could put a URL tag in the maildrop rpm, so then I could just do `rpm -qi maildrop' to look up the download info.) Also, you did not properly read the doc coming with the qmail rpm. Otherwise, you would not have talked about the scripts in /var/qmail/boot. Please do not send multiple copies of your message to a mailinglist; it is not going to speed up responses. If anything, the annoyance will turn people away from responding. The time is better spent on describing what you are trying to do. For example, we could just guess that you are trying to pick up mail via pop. Mate
POP3 and Virtual email performance?
I'm running qmail 1.03 on a RH 6.0 box with kernel 2.2.12 on Pentium 133 with 64 megs of RAM. The performance of sending and receiving mail for some users is great and for others it's slower then dirt. What I'm looking for is some general performance enhancments (config settings, fs settings, etc.) to speed up the sending and checking of mail. The problem does seem to be worse on the qpop side of things. There are only about 50 users on the box right now so things shouldn't be slowing down at all. Thanks Derek

Problem retrieving certain emails
Hi, I have a qmail server providng services to a small isp (~700 users) using user maildirs Occaisionally, I'll get a user complaint that their email client (Netscape, eudora, Outlook) will hang on "Downloading message X of Y" If I move the offending message out of the Maildir/new directory, the user is able to download the rest of the messages no problem. Once when this problem was happening to several users on the same Mailing list, the offending email had a control-k imbedded in it that the email clients would puke on when down loading it. Often the email contain binary attachments and are usually large (200 Kb) but I don't know why that would be a problem. It also has been happening a little more frequently as of late. Anyone else experience this problem or have any wisdom to share? Thanks in advance. James
Peculiar intermittent problem.
At one of my client sites running qmail, I run into a peculiar problem that occurs about twice per month and I was wondering if anyone else has encountered these sorts of things. This problem has happened with several different users at one time or another at my client's site. qmail-1.03-10 is installed with the msglog patch so duplicates of incoming and outgoing email are kept on my client's server for tape archiving. All of the end users on his LAN are using Windows 95 with MicroSoft Outlook 97 for an email client connecting to the qmail pop-3 server. All of the users have their client software set to NOT leave email on the server. qmail with the exception of this intermittent problem is very stable and I am very pleased with its performance. I'm inclined to suspect this problem might be one in of the following; My first choice would be MS Outlook email client, secondly something I have set up incorrectly somewhere, then lastly and unlikely, the msglog patch. I would doubt its qmail itself that is causing this intermittent problem so I have left it out of my choices of possibilities. *Symptoms of the problem itself* About twice or so per month a user (no one in particular) will have several emails in their $HOME/Maildir/new directory. Their Win95 workstation will attempt to connect to the pop-3 qmail server and they will get a failed download of the emails. All of the messages that _were_ in their $HOME/Maildir/new will be _moved_ from $HOME/Maildir/new to their $HOME/Maildir/cur and all of the messages will have a ;2 appended to the end of the message file name. Their download of email messages will abort. In subsequent attempts by the user to collect email messages from the qmail pop-3 server the user's email client will fail and no email messages will be downloaded. *A temporary fix* However, if the _oldest_ email in the user's $HOME/Maildir/cur is deleted or removed from the directory, and the ;2 suffix is removed from the messages and they are _moved_ back into the user's $HOME/Maildir/new directory, their email client will download the emails without any problems as if nothing had happened. *My question* My question is, has anyone else encountered the same intermittent problem I have been encountering ? If so, I am curious as to what is causing it and also, how could I prevent it ? Regards, Harley Silver

Basically it does some header-checking (checks the received: and delivered: for loops) already, and that's were I'm putting my little C-Knowledge in. With the use of (basically) the same function that inserts the received: headers, I'm putting a sender: and a to: - header in (taken from the envelope), if its missing. Messages without the blank line between header and body are bounced. Of course, this 'header rewriting' is not quite as sophisticated as it should be, or as qmail-inject is, but it saves a hop. If anyone is interested, drop me a mail! You might want to take a look at ofmipd -- it is part of Bernstein's mess822 package, and does header rewriting. About the only thing that keeps it from being a good production mail server is that it is an open relaying server. I don't know how hard it would be to patch it to use rcpthosts. I have a bias (even as a reasonably experienced C programmer) toward using other people's tested code, rather than writing my own hacks from scratch. This is why I was turning you toward formail. It would be a reasonably simple hack to write a qmail-queue wrapper that calls formail. The difference is, this hack gives you all the flexibility of formail (lots) with little effort on your part. Even if you don't foresee exploiting all of that flexibility, it can't hurt to leave the option open for later. -- Chris Mikkelson | Einstein himself said that God doesn't roll dice.

Alias oddity
Greetings... I'm having mail bounce back to senders who are trying to reach an address in one of the domains on my qmail-1.03 server. Below is a failure message I received when I tried sending to it myself. The relevant lines from control files are: rcpthosts: davidjfrank.com virtualdomains: davidjfrank.com:alias-djf And there is a file in alias' home directory called .qmail-djf-HRSpec which contains the proper delivery instructions. This system handles several other domains and everything works just fine. Could the capitalization have anything to do with this? Here are the relevant logfile lines for the message below: Nov 23 18:35:03 unix2 qmail: 943403703.814606 new msg 52864 Nov 23 18:35:03 unix2 qmail: 943403703.814964 info msg 52864: bytes 549 from [EMAIL PROTECTED] qp 20938 uid 61 Nov 23 18:35:03 unix2 qmail: 943403703.819238 starting delivery 8515: msg 52864 to local [EMAIL PROTECTED] Nov 23 18:35:03 unix2 qmail: 943403703.819450 status: local 1/10 remote 0/20 Nov 23 18:35:03 unix2 qmail: 943403703.843135 delivery 8515: failure: Sorry,_no_mailbox_here_by_that_name._(#5.1.1)/ Nov 23 18:35:03 unix2 qmail: 943403703.843414 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20 Nov 23 18:35:03 unix2 qmail: 943403703.855484 bounce msg 52864 qp 20941 Nov 23 18:35:03 unix2 qmail: 943403703.857122 end msg 52864 Any ideas about what's happening here?

RE: [Q] qmail + MySQL
Have you checked the connectivity to the mySQL database? Use the same information you have in /var/qmail/control/sqlserver with your mysqlclient and do the same query. Did the output look good? Best regards Michael Boman PS The mySQL patch uses crypt() ed password by default. It is not the same as mysql crypt() function. There can be a problem there as well.

I haven't seen anyone report this problem yet. Could you go into more details? Customer is using OE 5 on a Mac running OS9. Lots of messages in his mailbox. Uses the "online check" feature of OE. This gives him a list of messages, their authors, and their subjects. If he then selects the first message, which should download it for viewing, OE flips out, selects the last message, and gives him an error. He says at that point mail is missing.

Thus spake Derek Callaway: ;Earlier this evening, I received a message from the chap at sixdegrees as ;[ ... ] ;It's a problem of the technical mediocrity of those at ;sixdegrees. It's more than mere technical mediocity; it's mediocrity across the board... I used to be a member of sixdegrees, until I realized why I wasn't receiving any of their member updates. :) I tried multiple times to get some response from their "technical" customer service, but they couldn't be bothered to respond. I eventually decided to terminate my account with them, which took several *repeated* requests until they finally got around with it. When I killed my account with them, I told them (yet again) that it was simply because of their refusal to implement a properly behaved mail server. They could not have cared less. So, neither did I. In summary: sixdegrees is lame. // bob -- // Bob Krzaczek, RIT Center for Imaging Science [EMAIL PROTECTED]
