A vacation message is effectively a bounce message; you don't want to
know about it being delivered or not, period.  I suggest therefore
that the envelope sender should be empty.

Dan Bernstein's discussion of mail loops talks about autoresponders
and classifies them as bouncers which *should* use an empty envelope
sender:

Re: relay logging

[DOODS]

All connections are logged by tcpserver. Before, mine was in /var/adm or
/var/log. If you want to have the logs for tcpserver on a separate file,
install daemontools. (Forgot the URL for this but you can find it in qmail's
homepage.)
Then replace "/var/qmail/bin/splogger smtpd" in your startup script with
/path/to/multilog t /var/log/smtpd. BTW, you must first create the
/var/log/smtpd dir. Restart your tcpserver and then check if the logs go to
/var/log/smtpd.

Hope this helps.

relay logging

[Noah Sutherland]

OK, I am using tcpserver to do selective relaying. Is logging done of the
connections that are rejected? If so, how do I find them. Is there
something I can grep my log file for? For reference, here's my startup
line:

/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -v -c 80 -u 80 -g 80 0 smtp

[Q] How to Configure Qmail to be a Selective NON-Relay

[배성식]

Hi~

I use qmail-1.03 + mysql at RedHat 6.0 for free mail service.

I set control/rcpthosts as empty so my mailserver is open relay.


I want selectively not relay for special sender domain to prevent spam mail.

How can I configure qmail to be a selective non-relay?

I already set control/badmailfrom as following :

@sbsmail.co.kr

but It seems not work.

thank you.

delivery priority

[Subba Rao]

How can I set delivery priority to high or normal? Is this something
done by MTA,MDA or MUA? I am thinking it is by MUA, but in my case, Mutt does
not have anything to do with setting the priority to mail.

Any pointers appreciated.

Re: Error message in .qmail

[martin]

This is the perfect use for the bouncesaying command.

You could replace 'exit 100' with 'bouncesaying "Sorry I'm not going to
send this message"'

This will give a "hard error" and the informative error message that
you have passed as an argument to bouncesaying.

vacation program's envelope sender

[Chris Garrigues]

I'm using Peter Samuel's qmail vacation program and a user complained because 
she got a bounce when it tried to tell a spammer that she was on vacation.

Would it be a bad thing for vacation to set the envelope sender to something 
non-replyable like the mailer-daemon does?

Re: control/locals

[Dustin Marquess]

 Make sure you send qmail-send a SIGHUP signal (eg: kill -HUP pid) 
in order to make it reread the file.

 Also, if it's a virtual domain, you probably want it in 
control/virtualdomains and not control/locals.

Problem installing - Sorry, _no_mailbox_here_by_that_name.

[Jennifer Tippens]

Hello,
I'm having a problem installing qmail.  I have been using Life with
qmail as a guide.  I have everything installed and the 4 qmail daemons
are running along with a couple of supervise, multilogs, a svscan and a
tcpserver.
defaultdelivery is:
./Maildir/

I have done:
qmail-pw2u < /etc/passwd > /var/qmail/users/assign
qmail-newu
qmail cdb

cd /home/jennifer
su jennifer
maildirmake ./Maildir

Under aliases, I have the the following files and they all contain the
one word, jennifer:
.qmail-root
.qmail-postmaster
.qmail-mailer-daemon

So, I start qmail:
qmail start

and check /var/log/qmail/current
and I get a status line - no errors there.

So I try to send an empty message to the user jennifer:
echo to: jennifer | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject

There is no mail in /home/jennifer/Maildir/new
and
tail /var/log/qmail/current
gives:

Can't receive external mail

[Bruce Fletcher]

I've set up qmail on an OpenBSD 2.5/i386 box.  Most of the tests
in TEST.deliver and TEST.receive work fine, but I can't get the
box to receive mail externally.  Here's the error message:

   - The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

   - Transcript of session follows -
procmail: Denying special privileges for
"/www/home/.com/.info/procmailrc"
procmail: Couldn't read
"/www/home/.com/.info/procmailrc"
550 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... Can't create output

I can send mail to the 'bruce' account by telnetting to
the SMTP port on the box as described in the test documents, so
I would expect an external mail message to work as well.

I'm curious about these messages from procmail; I used
/var/qmail/boot/home as my /var/qmail/rc, not boot/proc, and I
don't understand why someone is looking for files under /www,
which is not a directory on my box. (it is an http server, though)

How do I begin to debug this?

Thanks for any help,

Re: virtualdomains setup trouble

[Philip Gabbert]

Yup.. But what you need to do is:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:tony

and in your directory have: .qmail-root
with a single line: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Now, qmail does not deliver any mail to root. Qmail will deliver any mail for
root via what's specified in the .qmail-root file located in the aliases
directory in your qmail directory.
There is also an ability to have a .qmail-postmaster file which works as a
catch all for localhost.

Something's wrong with SMTP

[romulus]

Hi, folks!

Today some trouble arose when I tried to get my mail from my Mail SP:
fetchmail did its job as it has been doing it for weeks -- until all
of a sudden I read the following lines on the screen:

  smtp connection to localhost failed.
  exit status=0
  query status=10

Perhaps some further info could help fixing the problem:

My fetchmail version: 5.0.0 My qmail version: 1.03

The contents of my .fetchmail file:

poll mail.arcor-ip.de proto pop3 user r.matthiaslampert with pass
** forcecr keep

Maybe the command line fetchmail is called with could be helpful, too:

fetchmail --smtpaddress homeoftux.netofrome.de -v

The --smtpaddress part is needed for qmail to accept mail that is
actually delivered for 'localhost'.

If you need the contents of my control/alias files for qmail, here you
have it!

virtualdomains:
:alias-ppp
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:alias-arcormail
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:alias-arcormail

rctphosts:
homeoftux.netofrome.de

~alias/.qmail-arcormail-romulus:
&[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Something must be wrong here, and I don't even know whether this is a
qmail question at all -- I already expect some flames for bothering
the qmail mailing list with fetchmail questions.

I know Dan Bernstein is not a fetchmail enthusiast at all, but he
hasn't provided or at least mentioned any satisfactory alternatives to
it -- yet.

Could you?

RE: qmail + sslwrap

[Van Liedekerke Franky]

The problem in this approach is that you make a new connection to localhost.
This messes up things like 
serialmail... and the -exec option doesn't accept options for the program,
unless you hack up the source.
I've heard about stunnel as well. Which of the two packages is the favorite?

I've been using it for ages. I followed the sslwrap documentation to create the
certificates and whatnot, and here's the script I use to start it up:

#!/bin/sh

exec tcpserver -RH -c10 -u444 -g444 0 spop3 /usr/local/libexec/sslwrap \
-cert /usr/local/openssl/certs/server.pem -port 110

UID and GID 444 belong to an unprivileged user and group I created; there's no
reason to run it with root privileges.  

I have qmail-popup/qmail-pop3d running in the conventional way on port 110.

Weird thing with ETRN patch

[Paulo Jan]

Hi all:

Today I tried to recompile qmail-smtpd to make it recognize the ETRN
command, following Anand Buddhdev's mail to this list from last june
(BTW: thanks for your clarification about setlock). I already have
serialmail and AutoTURN set up, and this change was just so that
qmail-smtpd didn't answer an "Unimplemented" to the clients that sent an
ETRN command.
The patch that Anand proposed in his mail was, from what I can see,
trivial:

-Add an ", { "etrn", smtp_etrn, flush }" line to the "smtpcommands
part.
-Add a smtp_etrn function, that just returns "250 ok".
-Add "ETRN" to the line that advertises the capabilities of the server.

I'm adding the diff below, at the end of the mail. Even for a complete
C ignorant like me, it should be obvious that the above mentiond changes
are trivial. Right? Well, I compile it, substitute for old binary
(stopping qmail-smtpd first, of course)... and all hell breaks loose.
A few minutes later, my coworkers tell me that they can't send mail
using Netscape, which gives a "Protocol error" or some other similarly
unhelpful message. Outlook Express, Eudora and manually telnetting to
port 25 can send mail fine. We also check that the sendmail server of
one of our customers, which receives mail for another domain, can't send
mail to our server, leaving an error message that says: "SMTP DATA-1
protocol error: 250 ok".
Since the mail server is in production and we're on office hours, we
can't really experiment too much, so I copy over the old qmail-smtpd
binary. Then, minutes later, I try to recompile the patched
qmail-smtpd.c again, taking extra care this time to delete all the
object files that existed from the last compilation (I think I deleted
them the first time, but just in case...). The result is exactly the
same.
Now the question: why does this happen? Not that it's a life or death
matter, since AutoTURN is working anyway, but I just can't understand
how such a trivial patch can cause these problems. Maybe one of the "250
ok" messages in the source has a newline or return carriage missing (or
has an extra one), but I just checked, and all the ones added by the
patch end in "\r\n", so...
(I'm using Linux 2.0.34 with GCC 2.7.2. I used the same environment to
compile the qmail 1.03 that we use and didn't have any problems).
Oh, yes, the diff between the modified qmail-smtpd.c and the original
one:


74,77d73

< {
<   out("250 ok\r\n");

236,237c232

qmail-smtpd.c. Look at badmailfrom implementation. Your hack is a
simpler version. All you do is check if '%' is in the recpient address.

So you are using .qmail as a mail box?

Actually, since .qmail is your mailbox, after you receive the first message, it
is treated as delivery instructions for all subsequent messages. The error is
actually saying that each line of your first message is not a valid address.

.qmail is for delivery instructions only. Try delivering to $HOME/Mailbox

For any of qmail's control files "man qmail-control" is your friend.
It'll tell you which control file gets read by which program.

> I want an email with a "to" address with ".*%.*@.*" to be rejected.

So if someone has an address which happens to have a "%" in it (which is
completely legal in the local part) you want to refuse delivery?  Or only
for local deliveries?  The reason that the control file is called
percenthack, is that it's not a standard, it's just a kludge to ask a
particular host to relay to somewhere else, originally as a gateway to
some other mail system.  If that host doesn't know about the expected
meaning of the percent hack, it will attempt to deliver it locally.

The "problem" is as Russ has said that certain (all, that I've seen)  
relay-checking code assumes that acceptance of the percent-hacked address
implies that the host will relay.  As qmail accepts (almost) everything
and checks it later, the bounce refusing to relay is generated later.

wow, there are so many messages in queue.

probably:
#1. you've just injected thousands of messages, OR 
#2. the server cannot deliver the messages to the destinations.

you may want to look at your qmail log to see what happen with the
messages. are many of them rejected ? time outs ? if #2 is your problem,
what are the destinations ? what are the sources ?

what is your control/concurrencuremote ? control/concurrencylocal ?

some that my work:
- increase control/concurrencyremote (max number depends especially on 
  amount of RAM)
- check your internet link
- decrease control/queuelifetime

You should NOT create the file if you want these to be rejected. 
As I said: "qmail does not support the percenthack per default."

So if you want to reject this, then remove the percenthack file.
(But if you want to support it, yes an empty file is enough).

If you want to REJECT the mails, then you must patch qmail. (I don't know
the patch you need). 

But if you can live with just bouncing them, then look at my former
suggestion.

Anyone have an idea? And if, where do I find it?

Tried to use the wildmat-0.2 patch (with uses a file badmailpatterns), but
that was not for qmail-1.03.

What's wrong with:

| echo "$LOCAL" | grep -v '%' >/dev/null 2>&1 || { echo "We do not
relay"; exit 100; }

in ~alias/.qmail-default

performance problem/todo backlogs

[petervd]

My situation:
PII-500/512MB
2 9GB scsi disks (one for /var/qmai/queue, one for the rest of the system)
user homedirs mounted over NFS (but that's not relevant here)
running stock redhat 1000fd 2.0.36 linux kernel (from RPM)

I'm running a small script that injects 1000 distinct messages, all destined
for either devnull@localhost or devnull@remotehost, in the localhost case
corresponding to a .qmail file with just '#' in it.
On this particular machine, concurrency never goes higher than 4 or 5 as long
as the script is periodically injecting messages. Looking at qmail-qstat
periodically during the run shows the number of unpreprocessed messages (aka
in the todo/ queue) growing to about 130 at the moment the 1000th message is
injected. Only then (when the script stops injecting) qmail-send suddenly
gains speed and concurrency does hit the roof, with the second number in
qmail-qstat quickly dropping.

Tests on other machines (our heavily loaded shellserver, or my homebox which
is not half as powerful) show very different results: qmail is not even
slightly impressed with the numerous injections and handles everything
gracefully, with a todo/ queue never bigger than 1 or 2 messages.

The bad results were observed on a heavily patched qmail, my first suspect
was the big-todo patch. Removing it made no difference. I tried a completely
vanilla qmail, with no difference either.

Anobody got any ideas? The machine is not swapping heavily.

Greetz, Peter.

hi...
my Qmail server already run until 157 days but now...when I try send to some
mailbox the message didn't arrive until now?? why??

messages in queue: 17106
messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 37

and now my /var/qmail/queue use 50% of partition?? before that just 3-10%
what should I do??

thanks...

I would prefer a solution where qmail responded with this message
when it is talking to the "other end" (not accept the mail at all).

qmail does not accept a mail when the from field is in the
badmailfrom file  :)
