Serialmail not removing lock files...
Hi all: Well, I've got at last serialmail and AutoTURN installed and working, following the instruciones in the serialmail package. The only problem that I have now is that, after triggering an AutoTURN delivery, maildirsmtp locks the proper directory, sends the messages in it correctly... but never unlocks the directory (that is, it doesn't delete the "seriallock" file that it creates). The line that I use to start serialmail in my startup scripts is: /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -c55 -v -x/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -u 7791 -g 2108 0 smtp /etc/rc.d/rc.qmail-smtpd 2>&1 |/usr/local/bin/accustamp | /usr/local/bin/setuser root /usr/local/bin/cyclog -n12 /var/log/qmail-receive & And "rc.qmail-smtpd", in turn, has: /usr/local/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd cd /usr/local/qmail/autoturn exec setlock -nx $TCPREMOTEIP/seriallock \ maildirsmtp $TCPREMOTEIP autoturn-$TCPREMOTEIP- $TCPREMOTEIP AutoTURN The AutoTURN instructions said to include this in the main qmail startup script with "sh -c '(script here)'", but I couldn't get it to work properly in any way (specially the part about redirecting errors to cyclog), so I'm putting them in a separate file. Looking at the setlock man pages, I see this: Normally the lock disappears when program exits. (Here's the complete story: program is given a descriptor for a locked ofile pointing to file. The lock disappears when this ofile is (1) closed by all the processes that have descriptors for it or (2) explicitly unlocked.) Which makes me think that maildirsmtp doesn't exit cleanly, but I can't find it with ps -auxw anywhere in my list of processes. Also, I don't know what an "ofile" is; I even asked our local Unix guru, who claims that he has never heard that word before (feel free to tell me if we need to depose him of his guru status). Any ideas? I'm using Slackware 3.2 (with a Linux 2.0.34 kernel) if that helps. If you need more information, just ask... Paulo Jan. DDnet.

Had they been, there would have been no passwords, crypted or not, and thus no problem. They have just been passed through crypt. That is reasonable protection only if the passwords are good. They aren't, at least the first isn't (positively ridiculous password in fact). Good or not, change them. Someone will have more than 2 seconds of computer time to devote to it.

I changed Mailbox to Maildir in /var/qmail/rc file so that it automatically creates Maildir. "qmail-start ./Maildir splogger qmail " There is your problem: the above just creates a mailbox file called Maildir. But you need to create maildir, and most people call it Maildir. So first of all, you need to change the above line to "qmail-start ./Maildir/ splogger qmail " But if you just want to try out maildir, you are better off doing only echo ./Maildir/ > ~/.qmail It is because most mailers do not know how to deal with maildir. Second, you need to create the maildir by hand, such as maildirmake ~/Maildir and you have to do this as the user for whom the maildir is created. It is perhaps really time for you to read some documentation, like INSTALL.maildir.

That depends a lot on what you want. There are some (free and commercial) email2web programs out there. Some do threading, some don't, some do this, some do that. These work by adding the call to the program to a control file and the program inserts the mail into the web system. There is also free (AFAIK) service that offers mailing list archival at e.g. eGoups http://www.egroups.com/ And the easiest approach may be to write a small script that reads the "index" file in each of ezmlms archive subdirs and makes a nice list out of it. Users may click on the entries and get the message (either as plain text, or your program can do a lot of nifty formatting) You can even create a static HTML page for the elder archive subdirs so you wouldn't have to create the index on the fly each time. This approach is easy and fast to implement, but it's kinda spartan. \Maex -- SpaceNet GmbH | http://www.Space.Net/ | Stress is when you wake Research & Development| mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | up screaming and you Joseph-Dollinger-Bogen 14 | Tel: +49 (89) 32356-0| realize you haven't D-80807 Muenchen | Fax: +49 (89) 32356-299 | fallen asleep yet.

If these are kinda "minimal" domains and they're all identical, you can do
something like this:
(this assumes you are using "bind", I don't know about other DNS servers)
Create a file called e.g. "virtualdomains":
;
@ IN SOA ns.EXAMPLE.COM. hostmaster.EXAMPLE.COM. (
1999112600 ; Serial
28800 ; Refresh
3600; Retry
864000 ; Expire
43200 ) ; Minimum
IN NS ns.EXAMPLE.COM.
IN NS ns2.EXAMPLE.COM.
IN NS ns3.EXAMPLE.COM.
IN MX 100 mail.EXAMPLE.COM.
IN A 1.2.3.4
www IN CNAME @
;
I assume that "EXAMPLE.COM" is not one of the zones you want to apply
this mechanism to.
And now add to bind.conf
//
zone "virtual1.com" in { type master; file "virtualdomains"; }
zone "virtual2.com" in { type master; file "virtualdomains"; }
zone "virtual3.com" in { type master; file "virtualdomains"; }
// [ ... ]
//
This is a VERY strict solution.
And please keep in mind also, that MX records may only point to names
that have A records and not to names that are CNAME records. Same for
the NS records.

Nice solution for not having to have n instances of the same stuff.
One thing still bothers me. This gets me n hosts with an A mapping to
the same IP-address, with the consequence, that the reverse-mapping
1.2.3.4 PTR will point to just one of the n hosts. What's the general
opinion on how "legal" this is?

qmail dies, over and over........
Dear gentleman. I am trying to run qmail, using FreeBSD 3.3Stable, but it dies about 2 times a month. The strangest thing about it. is that no other service i run, crash, only qmail! My machine is up around 135 days, i have already built the HOLE FreeBSD, including kernels. So, i guess that it does not due to hardware problem (am i right?)! Other thing strange, is: My linux box runs VERY well with qmail, and qmail does not die. Have you ever faced anything such that ? What you wizard suggest me to do ? Here goes my uname -a output: FreeBSD vitoria.ddsecurity.com.br 3.3-STABLE FreeBSD 3.3-STABLE #7: Thu Oct 21 15:06:38 EDT 1999 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/compile/VITORIA i386 Thank you for your time and cooperation -- Microsoft: Where do you want to go today?
