Re: bouncing mail
Thank you all. It seems that putting a Return-path header in with the from email address does the trick.

Re: Sudden Death
Dave, I'm not sure exactly what the problem is in this case...if you don't mind, show us your /var/qmail/control/* files, and tell us if you want the mail delivered to the UNIX user's Maildirs What you are appear to be asking are two unrelated questions For one thing, you should check to see that all of your users own their own Maildirs, and that the proper subdirectories exist. i.e., ~martin/Maildir/new ~martin/Maildir/cur ~martin/Maildir/tmp all need to exist(I think the maildirmake program takes care of this for you, so you are probably having a different problem, but send us your control files, and we'll take a look). -Martin Martin A.

Re: rcpthosts
Shawn, Well, in that case, I'd recommend you try using relay-ctrl-allow (and the companion package relay-ctrl-age). Together, these two allow you to authenticate a user (e.g., via POP3), and then include the dynamically assigned IP address in the list of "OK to relay" hosts. The relay-ctrl-allow package takes care of adding the (just-authenticated) user to the appropriate CDB which tcpserver checks before passing the SMTP connection to qmail-smtp. This is where the modular beauty of tcpserver + + relay-ctrl-allow + qmail-pop3d, really shines. This is an excellent way to allow people to use your SMTP server as a relay, but to retain control of the relaying. In other words, you have to authenticate via POP3 before you are allowed to relay. (That send and receive button just came in handy, eh?) It may take some digging around to find some good examples of relay-ctrl-allow and relay-ctrl-age scripts, but I'm sure there are others on the list who would be glad to help with that...you should be able to find exactly what you are looking for in Bruce Guenter's RPMS, which you should be able to locate somewhere from http://www.qmail.org/.

Re: rcpthosts
I have a similar question, but perhaps the answer is not so easy.

Re: a few things...
You might try confronting that user. I would guess that if you show them you know what they're doing and that they're in trouble for doing it, they'll stop and you won't have to spend a lot of time trying to stop them with technology. The impersonal find-a-way-to-block method may just up the ante, turning it into a user versus the system problem, while the personal confrontation may end the behavior. - Original Message - From: M.

Re: rcpthosts
Jim, Is this machine accessible via The Net, or is it behind a firewall? If it's behind the firewall, you are set. Just open the darned thing up, and be done with it. If this is available from The [evil] Net, and you don't want to relay for the world, you can do two things. Option 1 == Use a different port (port 444 instead of port 25), but have the qmail-smtpd that runs on that port accept and relay any mail--this falls into the security through obscurity ballgame, and will be frowned upon by most qmail-list folks (and I wouldn't recommend, although you could do this) So, you create this line in inetd.conf: 444stream tcp nowait root/tmp/relay-kludge.sh and create this file (/tmp/relay-kludge.sh) with 755 perms (or something more restrictive): #!/bin/sh # # export RELAYCLIENT="" /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd And you tell your users to use that port (444) for all of their SMTP sessions. or Option 2 You can run ucspi, which has built-in support for IP-based selective relaying. Perhaps you wish not to "complicate" things by running ucspi, but I believe quite strongly that it is the best solution in this regard. This will also allow you to have finely grained control over what other IPs are allowed to relay through your machine, not only your users, but also.a friend who has a static IP, let's sayor maybe you are on the road one day, and you need to allow yourself an "open relay"you could shell in and make the change, and then you have a relay It's really not a great deal more work to install the ucspi package, and it works with qmail (and a dozen other programs) so very well, that it's worth the effort to install and configure it.

Re: Redilvering mail
Jon, Yes, you should probably at least 'man qmail-inject' before you do it, but essentially, if you have a Maildir with messages you wish to move to another recipient, you can # cd ~user/Maildir/ # for i in *; do qmail-inject -a [EMAIL PROTECTED] < $i; done This leaves all of the messages in the Maildir and injects copies (obviously) into the queue It's a good quick and dirty thing to have stuffed in the back of your head. Can get you out of a jam [ By the way, it makes quite a mess, if you haven't checkd to be sure that mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] can actually deliverbecause the MTA on foobar.tld's MX host will bounce the messages to the original sender, so use the above 'quick and dirty' with caution. ] -Martin On 2 Dec, Jon Rust wrote: : I know this came up recently, but I can't seem to find it in the : archives.

Getting qmail to not check for home directories
First off, I am using qmail-ldap, so my apologies to the qmail list if that makes it off-topic... What I want to do is set up a qmail-ldap server (I have done this part already, and it works well) that doesn't require a home directory for each and every user. I am using the cyrus IMAP server, and what I effectively want is to do the equivalent of having "|deliver $USER" in everyone's .qmail file, without needing the .qmail file. I thought I had this working with the deliveryProgramPath ldap attribute set to /usr/bin/deliver (username) and deliveryMode set to nombox, and every users mailMessageStore set to /var/spool/mailbox/ (an empty maildir folder, to stop qmail/ldap from complaining) but when I try to send a mail via qmail-inject, it says in the logs that it delivered successfully, but the mail disappears off the face of the earth. Can anyone tell me if what I'm trying to do is possible, and perhaps point out a place I might be going wrong?

I don't think "Reply-to:" would work. If you don't want to process as anonymous you should change the envelope sender. See "man qmail-inject".

RE: Any Decent IMAP server? [single-uid interface]
Baah... I figure that I'll just provide my interface for now to let you all see
if this is something that would be useful. I think I've made it general enough
to write anything you want in the authentication/authorization function.
begin interface description -
Here is the relevant data from vpop.h:
vpop__data* vpop__userauthen (char* username, char* password, char*
default_base_username);
typedef struct {
int valid_form;
int valid_user;
char* unix_username;
char* virtual_username;
char* black_box_home;
int authenticated;
char* log_error;
} vpop__data;
The function vpop__userauthen is called whenever a user is trying to
authenticate with the system. It is called _before_ any unix usernames are
checked. Depending on the values in the returned vpop__data structure, the
username and password will or will not be checked as a valid UNIX username.
Here are the details...
vpop__useauthen is called with, of course, the username and the password of the
user trying to connect. However "default_base_username" is a little weird. If
c-client is trying to login a user and it is not running as root it will
provide the username of the current user in default_base_username here. If
c-client is running as root, and can switch to any user then this will e NULL.
(You will not get a non-NULL value from imapd but rather from tools like dmail
in the imap-utils package. These tools are used for things like local delivery
and are already running as the correct UNIX user.)
vpop__userauthen then gets to control what c-client does by the structure it
returns... here are what the values mean
* valid_form specifies if the username looks like a virtual username. If this
is returned as true, c-client does not try to check the username and password
as a UNIX user. If valid_form is false, vpop__userauthen should set it false
and just return there.
* valid_user specifies if this username is a valid username. This can only be
true if valid_form is true.
* unix_username specifies the UNIX username that we should switch uid/gid to
when accessing the mail of the virtual user.
* virtual_username specifies the virtual username of the virtual e-mail
account. Does not have to be a valid login user or anything. Not currently used
for anything. :-)
* black_box_home specifies the directory where the e-mail for this user will
be stored. unix_username should have write permission here. The user is locked
down into this directory and now allowed to get mail from anywhere else in the
system.
* authenticated specifies if the password was correct. Even if the supplied
password was incorrect vpop__userauthen is required to set the unix_username,
virtual_username, and black_box_home values. This is because sometimes this
information is needed without password authentication outside of imapd, such as
when dmail is used to deliver to a virtual e-mail user.
* log_error is a string to log as an error. If this is not NULL, it will be
written to the standard c-client error reporting device. Inside of imapd this
will work its way into syslog.
end interface description -
I figure that someone could just write a vpop__userauthen function to run a
little external program, such as interfacing to one of the currently existing
virtual user packages. Other hackers could just write their own site specific
vpop__userauthen functions like I have done.
Oh, one note. This is really an imapd and ipop3d server together. The c-client
library is modified which is used by imapd, ipop3d, and imap-utils. This way
you write this once function and it works for all your mail server programs.

However, I have already done that Major Hacking [TM]. I have my own single-uid free-form-directory-structure-and-home-dir patch that is customized for my setup in web hosting. Each virtual domain user can create many e-mail only users. The e-mail only users, their (virtual) home directories, and their unix_crypt_md5 encoded passwords are stored in a DB File, one for each virtual domain. The virtual e-mail users have to specify "+username" for their username (so we know they are e-mail only users, not unix users). I then figure out which virtual domain the request is for (which specifies which UNIX user to switch to and which DB File to read the user list from) by looking at the TCPLOCALIP. (Each account has it's own ipaddr so that effectively tells me which account the request is for.) This is way too specific for general use, but hacking on top of my code (all of my site specific authentication/authorization code is in it's own c file) would probably be very easy. You see, the figuring how to tie my code into UW-IMAP was the hard part - the specific authentication/authorization is easy stuff. If someone wants to hack in an interface to one of the virtual domain packages or whatever, I think I could release the code to them. I just don't want to release my specific authentication/authorization code (I think) because it's way web hosting specific. I also have another patch that makes UW-IMAP log to STDERR instead of syslog. I then run it under tcpserver and use cyclog to manage the logging info. There is also program in the pipe of logging info that sends a copy to smtp-poplock for pop/imap-before-relay authentication. It's a really sweet setup. I should also note that I've switched mailbox formats from Maildir to MBX (UW-IMAP's fastest local file driver which does not deal with NFS as I don't use NFS.) (Well, actually, my virtual e-mail users are using MBX and the UNIX users use /var/spool/mail/$USER for perfect compatibility with pine/elm, etc.) Well, what I'm really saying is that this patch would need to be tested along with the Maildir driver, but I see no reason why it should not work. Does this all sound okay? If people want this, I'll probably open-source it and we can more forward. I'm just a little hesitant about how much of my time this will suck up. I'm really quite busy now and just writing this e-mail has taken a good while. - David Harris Principal Engineer, DRH Internet Services

Ok, so what is necessary to make this really useful in the following scenario : (a) Thousands of IMAP users spread accross hundreds of virtual domains all running under a single UNIX user-id and using custom authorization (i.e. not UNIX /etc/passwd or Kerberos but instead something like a CDB File, an SQL backend database etc.), with IMAP user-ids looking like 'user%dom.ain' (b) As a consequence of (a), there are no "real" home directories per user [in the sense of getpwuid(UID)->pw_dir], therefore the Maildirs are spread over some spool area that is based on whatever layout I find most efficient for the job. Can I do this without doing some Major Hacking [TM] to the code? -t

The pre-patched imap-4.5_maildirpatched-1.00.tar.gz file has existed for a while in the distrib directory, but I just now placed a note about it on the web page.

global spam filter
I've been playing with the qmail-uce package. It seems pretty good, but the customer wants the body to be parsed by a global file, not on a per user basis. I've got a recipe that matches when calling maildrop in manual mode, but not through qmail-filter.maildrop. I've hacked the code a smidge to use a global file, and I think it should be fine, but it is not. It's like it isn't reading the message at all. an exit in the open works fine, but behind a pattern match, no go. Monte

Dig out an Ethernet packet sniffer (Ethereal or something) and have it display the entire IMAP session so you can see exactly what the client sends and how the server reacts to this. > Anybody have a suggestion on another IMAP server, how a way to get > courier-imap to work correctly? You can try Cyrus, 'though it uses its own mail storage format and it can not handle login names what have a dot in them, which makes it unusable for me, but YMMV. -t

Hi! Maybe the above doesn't explain much. Lets say I send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] And I want qmail to deliver to user1 immediately but user2 with a queue or delay. Is this possible? Thanks in advance.
