RE: relay-ctrl 1.2 - doesn't work
My guess is that you are missing a piece that is supposed to build a new cdb when the user authenticates, not just add a IP record. For it to take effect immediately, you need to add the IP and build a new CDB then. The age one should run independent of the users authenticating. Russell Nelson made a open-smtp patch that achieves this if you are using checkpasswd as part of your system. The methodolgy is it patches checkpasswd to run a script which adds an entry to the cdb database when a user successfully authenticates. A small script is then run by cron to 'age' the cdb database. Small, and effective. You do have to patch checkpassswd, but unless you are running lots of other patches, whats just 1 lil patch? =) I use it on my system (after updating the syntax of the scripts for a guess a newer version of tcpserver) and its been flawless so far. There should be a link on the qmail page. -Steve -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, December 01, 1999 7:52 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: relay-ctrl 1.2 - doesn't work On Wed, 1 Dec 1999 16:20:55 -0800, Jon Rust wrote: It does work-- I'm using it now, but I can't see what you've missed here.

strange messages hanging in queue
Hey folks, a strange problem. when certain messages double bounce, they end up hanging in the queue because the remote MTA where I read my mail doesn't accept something qmail is trying to do. qmail-qread shows the message in the queue as follows: 2 Dec 1999 16:51:48 GMT #225302 3891 #@[] remote [EMAIL PROTECTED] note the strange "from" address #@[]. when a delivery attempt is made the mailer at ifi.unizh.ch chokes with the following error: delivery 2136: deferral: 130.60.48.10_failed_after_I_sent_the_message./Remote_host_said:_451_Bad_Handshake/ I've tried this by hand, and the mailer at ifi.unizh.ch accepts the mail delivery and then when you type quit at the smtp prompt it gives a "bad handshake" error. Does anyone have any idea why that from is set to #@[], and how I can fix this. I realise this is a problem with the remote mailer, but I'd like to prevent the problem on the qmail end if possible. regards, Will Harris

So far I've found an excellent source in Dave Sill's document "Life with qmail" (App. E ) but he only mentions the remote retry schedule, so now I wonder: Yeah, that's kind of embarrassing. Someone posted that table to the list, and I included it in LWQ without checking the source. Rogerio Brito pointed out that locals and remotes are retried on different schedules.

Re: rcpthosts
Awesome! This is exactly the type of thing I'm looking for. Thanks. - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 02, 1999 10:51 PM Subject: 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 + authentication + 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/.

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.

Why are you using dnsfq? Just hard code your FQDN into your start

converting from sendmil's virtmail to vpopmail
I have played with qmail and vpopmail enough to decided that I like it enough to attempt a little larger job. Hopefully, if this one goes well, I can talk my boss into letting us convert some of our REALLY busy mail servers over to qmail/vpop/qmailadmin! The box I would like to convert is hosting 52 domains and about 300 users. The virtusertable (for those of you lucky enough to not have had to fight with sendmail) is just a text file mapping the virtual user to a real account, ex: [EMAIL PROTECTED] redneck1 And, of course, redneck1 is a real account, with a home directory and a mail file in /var/spool/mail. Vpopmail's vconvert is a useful program, although a tad poorly documented. Issuing a 'vconvert -e -c' does a nice job of converting most of the accounts over, but it uses the real account name and puts 'em all in the same domain. This would mean a lot of manual editing and moving. That's how I converted the first server. Fortunately it only had 20 or so accounts... Does anyone have any suggestsons for converting to vpop while preserving the virtual information (domain, virtual account name)? Thanks, Ben

maildrop (generic) filter question
Hey, thanks. You helped a lot. Just a minor question I was gonna ask you.
Here's the deal. There is a user 'postman' on the box that fetches mail from
*@domain.com and sorts it by headers (with maildrop) and puts it in
approbriate boxes like so
.mailfilter
if(^/(To|Cc): .*bob){
to "!bob"
}
if(^/(To|Cc): .*jack){
to "!jack"
}
but what heppens is when a message has both bob and jack in the to: field or
say bob in to: and jack in cc: the message gets delivered to bob simply
because bob is the first in the filter. Those messages never get delivered
to jack. How'd I fix that?

Hi there,
maildrop is a big pain to get it to work and worse of all, to get help on
the
maildrop list. Once it works, it's great.
===
Here is my .qmail
(0)subb3@caesar:~$ cat .qmail
./Maildir/
(0)subb3@caesar:~$
===
===
My /var/qmail/rc looks like this
(0)subb3@caesar:~$ cat /var/qmail/rc
#!/bin/sh
# Using splogger to send the log through syslog.
# Using qmail-local to deliver messages to ~/Mailbox by default.
exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \
qmail-start '| /usr/local/bin/maildrop' splogger qmail
(0)subb3@caesar:~$
===
===
I use fetchmail to get my mail from the POP server. My .fetchmailrc
looks like this
(0)subb3@caesar:~$ cat .fetchmailrc
set syslog
poll mypop.ibm.net protocol pop3 username userid password userpass
mda /usr/local/bin/maildrop
(0)subb3@caesar:~$
===
Now finally, the filter file. I use only one filter file which is
.mailfilter.
I believe you can have a directory .mailfilters and have several filters.
My needs are very basic right now. Here is a excerpt from my
$HOME/.mailfilter
file.
===
DEFAULT="./Maildir/"
### All mail with my address in the To, Cc, From and Reply-To field goes
to my
### default mailbox (which is $HOME/Maildir
if ( /^(To|Cc|From|Reply-To): .*subb3@ibm\.net.*/ )
to $DEFAULT
### Store messages to Qmail in their own folder
if ( /^(To|From|Cc|Reply-To|X-Mailing-List): .*qmail@list\.cr\.yp\.to.*/ )
to Mail/qmail
===
I hope this will help you with your maildrop and qmail. Let me know how it
works.
Once it works, you can start working on more complex filter processing.
Use the "man maildropfilter". It explains the filtering language but with
very
few examples.
Good luck!

Glad the previous examples worked. If bob and jack are in the To: and/or Cc:
fields, then you could use the following logic:
if(^/(To|Cc): .*(jack||bob).*/ ){
to "!jack bob"
}
The above will foward any mail received by either jack OR bob to both jack AND bob.
I am assuming that's is the goal you are trying to acheive i.e. to send the mail to
both of them, even if it is addressed to only one of them. (I don't know why you
would want to do that. ;-) ).
The operator used for To and Cc, is a bitwise operator, where as for bob and jack, we
are using logical operators.

Ok here it is.
if(^/(To|Cc): .*(jackbob).*/ ) {
to "!jack bob"
}
When there's a To: or Cc: header that contains the string 'jackbob',
verbatim, forward the message to both of them.
carries no special meaning in regular expressions.
if(^/(To): .*(jack|bob).*/ ^/Cc: .*(jack|bob).*/ ) {
to "!jack bob"
}
If there's a To: header containing either jack, or bob, and that there is a
Cc: header containing either jack, or bob, forward the message to both of
them.
According to these rules, if a message contains the following header:
To: jack, bob
The message will be discarded, because it meets neither conditions.
What you really want to do is very simple:
if (hasaddr("[EMAIL PROTECTED]"))
{
cc "! jack"
}
if (hasaddr("[EMAIL PROTECTED]"))
{
cc "! bob"
}
