ezmlm archives..
Hi all. I'm trying to get a www interface to my ezmlm archives. http://www.rivertown.net/cgi-bin/man-cgi?ezmlm-archive+1 This page tells me there is an ezmlm-archive command i can use, however i'm using ezmlm-idx 0.3.1 and there is no such command? Apart from writing a script that converts the index file (for each n directory of the /archive directory) to a html file, can any think of anything else? > If http://www.id.wustl.edu/cgi-ez/ezmlm-cgi/1#b and the archives under > http://lists.mysql.com look ok to you all you have to do is wait for > ezmlm-idx-0.40.

Standard behavior of tcpserver. man tcpserver will tell you how to turn it off, if it bothers you. But, there are some good reasons not to, because any ident response gets recorded in the headers, and there are certain fringe situations where source of abuse can only be determined with the help of ident data. -- Sam

forwarding virtual domain mail to a specific host
I wanted to run this by some smarter people before wasting too much time doing this the wrong way. I want to have mail sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] fowarded to the machine 'faxserver' with the exact same address. The faxserver knows that mail sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] should be faxed to the ATTN of user at the phone number . Do I need to create an MX record on the local nameserver for this to be at all reasonably accomplished? I assume this is the best approach; let me know if there is a better/simpler way to do something like create a virtual domain with remote delivery. Lastly, I'd like to block mail from outside of the organization from reaching the .fax program. Is this appropriate to do from within qmail? I don't clearly see when such a test would be made. Would it be better for me to simply perform a procmail test of some kind at the point of delivery? Sorry if this is all idiocy, I've been reading quite a bit of the qmail docs and not really getting handle on it all so far. -josh

qmail-popup question
>From the qmail-popup man page: qmail-popup expects descriptor 0 to read from the network and descriptor 1 to write to the network. It reads a username and password from descriptor 0 in POP's USER-PASS style or APOP style. It invokes subprogram, with the same descriptors 0 and 1; descriptor 2 writing to the network; ^^^ I'm curious as to why this is done. In particular, stderr output from the subprogram is being fed back to the client, which is probably expecting a pop3 +OK/-ERR response, rather than whatever happens to be sent down stderr at the time. Wouldn't it be better to leave stderr alone, so that it could be fed to logger/splogger/multilog? -- Chris Mikkelson | "I have yet to see any problem, however complicated, [EMAIL PROTECTED] | which, when you looked at it the right way, did not | become still more complicated." -- Poul Anderson

You don't. You make them virtual domains. If you want some domains to be "mostly" local, i.e. you have only a few addresses between which you want to distinguish and you want the rest to be delivered to local accounts, you could have the following: locals: abc.com virtualdomains: def.com:alias-def ~alias/.qmail-def-info: &[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~alias/.qmail-def-support: &[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~alias/.qmail-def-default: | forward "$DEFAULT"@abc.com This will deliver mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] to addresses of your choice, and anything else @def.com to a local account.

stunnel + qmail + vpopmail

For reference, here's my startup line: If you have a standard selective relaying setup, you're not actually rejecting any connections. tcpserver will accept any connection at all, and either set or not set RELAYCLIENT, as appropriate. I suspect what you mean is that you want to log attempts to use your SMTP server as a relay. That would not be logged by tcpserver, and qmail-smtpd (which is doing the actual rejecting, of the recipients, not the connection) doesn't emit any logging information. To get what you're looking for, you'll need a patch. Here's one (you'll probably find others at www.qmail.org): http://www.palomine.net/qmail/logrelay.patch Chris

Configuration problem, same name, multiple domains
Hello, This is my first posting to the list. If this problem has been answered recently please point me to the right message numbers so I can retrieve them. Thanks My dilemma: I have 5 domains on one system. An example of my locals file: abc.com def.com ghi.com jkl.com mno.com My RCPTHOSTS file has these same domains in it. abc.com def.com ghi.com jkl.com mno.com We are using the Linux usernames for our accounts. Everything works fine. We are not using the Qmail user/assign file (yet). As long as we have unique usernames, there isn't a problem. However we wish to setup an "info" account for the different domains. e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] etc. We want these info accounts to go to different mailboxes. We are using the Maildir format, since this was a fresh install of our mail system. I have tried a few combinations of using the VIRTUALDOMAINS file combined with the user/assign file to get the different "info" accounts to go to their respective user mailboxes. I have setup unique user accounts within the /home directory that we are using for the user Maildir locations, i.e. /home/abc.info /home/def.info. How can I get the same email name working on different local domains? I really appreciate any assistance you can provide to get me out of this dead end. Adam Roberts
Palm Pilot Mail
When downloading new mail to a palm pilot only the first 8000 characters are retrieved...

issues w/ rem2local
I installed qmail, and am running into problems getting email from outside. Locally mail delivers okay, and aliases work locally.

It also knows wha tthe MX record is supposed to be, so I am certain the mail is /hitting/ the destination, which tells me qmail is bouncing it. Though I can't find a log message to that effect.

Re: Country code for this list
>I was always wondering where this list is being hosted. "to" is Tongo. >My geography knowledge is kind of getting rusty. Where is Tongo? >Is it one of the new countries on the map? The physical location of Tongo is a widely-held secret. It hosts a 286 running Xenix and a specially ported version of BIND that serves top-level domain names ending in ".to". Almost all of the actual computers that "own" those domain names reside in places other than Tongo. Welcome to cyberspace. ;-) And, yes, my first paragraph is basically just a joke. Look at www.tonic.to for some idea of what's going on. But it's likely true that at least 90% of the computers serving .to addresses are not in Tongo. NOTE: Some people think the name of the country actually is "Tonga". It doesn't matter. Only ".to" matters, just as there's no such country as America or even the USA, just ".com", ".edu", ".gov", etc. Similarly, the squirrels in my neighborhood now have their own domain -- ".nut". tq vm, (burley)

I like the idea but I would rather the mail return sometype of a hard error so the sender would have to deal with it. Kind of a punishment to them!

rejecting mail for 1 user
This is something that has been bugging me for quite awhile but never had the time to deal with it. Apparently some time ago before I became the email admin for our domain the address [EMAIL PROTECTED] became a target for many a spammer. Now this account does not exist and is very doubtful that it ever existed. What I would like to do is make something to reject any mail for this "user". This is a corporate email server and I don't have the time nor the patience to deal with bounces for unknown or full spammer return addresses. I am sure this has come up before but didn't see a solution on the website anywhere. Thanks for any ideas Tim Hunter [EMAIL PROTECTED] CIMx Company p 513 248-7700 f 513-248-7711 http://www.cimx.com
Something's wrong with ip-up.local! (Re)
Hi, John! I'm afraid I can't say today if qmail-smtpd was running yesterday or not. Perhaps there is a log file somewhere that could tell me; I don't know about that either. Today, mailing was going well after I renamed my ip-up.local file that is designed to do the mailing jobs for me being online, and did all the business by hand, su'ing romulus as root: All the mail was finally ``delivered-to'' [EMAIL PROTECTED] So, do you or does anyone who reads this know if qmail reports on the jobs it's doing? And if there's such a report: Where is it stored? In the TEST.deliver file of the qmail distribution Dan is talking about syslog. On my system (Red Hat Linux 6.0) syslog seems to be a C library function, but not a file to question for the purpose of hunting down problems.

It's possible that the mail will be duplicated, because as far as qmail's SMTP client is concerned, it threw the entire message down the socket, including the SMTP termination sequence, but didn't get any response. > Is anywhere complete list of error messages?

RE: [Q] How to Configure Qmail to be a Selective NON-Relay
Why don't you change your 'fullname' to not have those crappy hi-bit ansi characters? And what does 'not relay for special sender domain' mean? You want to be an open relay, but not relay if from one domain? They'd just change their domain name... If you want selective relaying, read FAQ 5.4 or install other relaying methods like smtp-after-pop which has links on the homepage. -Steve -Original Message- From: ¹è¼º½Ä [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, November 29, 1999 8:10 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Q] How to Configure Qmail to be a Selective NON-Relay 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.
Re: delivery priority
Subba Rao <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >How can I set delivery priority to high or normal? What do you mean? SMTP doesn't really have different delivery priorities, and qmail is strictly first-come-first-served. If you just want to add a "Precedence: bulk" field to the header, that's an MUA job. -Dave

The above line is wrong. There should be a dash '-' between
250 and 8BITMIME. With a multiline response, all but the
last numeric code must be followed by a dash, to indicate
continuation of the response. I don't know whether it was my
mistake when posting the patch, but if it was, I apologise.
Change that, and you'll be fine.
