Perhaps they are planning to use it in future versions and it just wasn't
ready for 1.0?  I've been waiting awhile for a Linux distribution to come
out that uses qmail as the default MTA (or at least offers the choice of
using it over sendmail in the installation.)

How can I do that? Actually, I did not anonymize anything except the to,
from, and reply-to headers. All the other info is exactly as it appeared
in the bounce I received.

How do I set the "user part of the envelope sender" in the CGI script?
Is that what I should do? The sender will most likely not be an account
on the machine (as it is someone filling out a form on the web).

A further followup on myself:  I meant to say that you're probably getting
a double-bounce, because user 'anonymous' doesn't exist.  The original bounce
is sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED], which then bounces -- and the double bounce
ends up in the postmaster's mailbox.

Bounces always go the the envelope sender (the Return-Path: header above),
not the user in the From: header.

The problem here is the CGI script they are using is setting the user
part of the envelope sender to 'anonymous' (I'm assuming the host part,
'enSurge.com' is correct -- you anonymized the rest of the headers, so
we can't tell -- another reason not to do this in help requests).

Perhaps the CGI script can be modified, or the web page which calls it.

Can probably be done, but is not a great idea.  The return-to-envelope-sender
is standard practice, as it (theoretically) should always reach the
person who sent the mail, while From: and Reply-to: headers can be
legitimately set to other values for many reasons.

Bounce messages to sender, not me

[Joel Shellman]

A client on my server has a cgi script that sends email (I think via
SMTP through localhost). Well, the bounces come back to me instead of
going to the person in the from header. I think I understand why--
(someone could forge the from header and be a big nuisance), but for
legitimate users (nearly always in this case), I want the bounces to go
to the user who initiated them so they can know it didn't work.

Those are the headers in a sample message. What can I do about these
bounces?

Can I automatically forward them to the from header? Can I automatically
execute a script/program when they come in?

I've seen scripts and the like in the .qmail files but don't know where
the documentation is for that stuff.

Hi Carsten,

I've posted a new version on my site (www.unixzone.com/virus).  There were
a number of issues with qmail-local in the previous version.  Please give

Hello qmail users and admins,

my problem is the following: When I compose a message and encrypt it
with PGP (or just sign it with PGP), then attempts to send the mail end
in the following error message:

451 See http://pobox.com/~djb/docs/smtplf.html

This URL obviously has moved (to where?), but I found a discussion
about this error message. Bare linefeeds seem to be the problem, that
causes the message, but I do not find a context to PGP. 
Ok, when I do not encrypt or sign with PGP, sending works fine. I
think, since PGP produces a binary file (or can at least do so), there
occur bytes in the message that shouldn't. 

But I can tell PGP (with the -a flag) to encrypt the text in ASCII
format, so it is human readable, but it doesn't solve the problem. 
Next I can tell PGP (with the -t flag) to alter line endings for UNIX.
Didn't work either. 

Additional Info about my environment: I use postilion as MUA which
handles PGP, and with sendmail (a friend tried it successfully) no such
errors occur. 

Has anyone ideas, what I possibly forgot to tell qmail or pgp or
whatever? Thanks in advance.

No it hasn't. It works for me.

The problem seems to be with 'postilion' then. There are patches floating
about which make qmail more tolerant of bare linefeeds, you could also apply
those.

bert hubert.

Top of the morning to all of you qmail-ers,

Well, if I understand the problem correctly (your PGP program is creating
a message with bare LFs), then you should be able to solve the problem by
piping the output of your PGP signing/encryption process to /usr/bin/addcr
before it's sent to your SMTP server.  (addcr is included in the ucspi
package).  For kicks, try running the PGP program by itself on a text
file, and do an "od -c ${FILENAME}" to see whether or not you have the
required \r\n.  If not, you can add them with addcr.

-Martin

files in /var/qmail/control

[Antonio Navarro Navarro]

Hi all !

What is supposed to contain the /var/qmail/control/locals file ?. Mine contains two 
lines like this:

server.bemarnet.es
server.bemarnet.es

The machine is called dns.bemarnet.es and is managing the mail for the bemarnet.es 
domain (and for several hundred domains with the same IP and the vpopmail package).

I think in this file must be the real name of the machine (dns.bemarnet.es) or the 
default domain (bemarnet.es), am I right ? 

The other files contain the following:

me -> dns.bemarnet.es
defaultdomain -> bemarnet.es
virtualdomains -> other domains like this: domain.com:domain.com
plusdomain -> bemarnet.es

(The 'me' file contains dns.bemarnet.es)

If I change this file and only place 'bemarnet.es' (one or two times in different 
lines) the mails sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] dissapear !!

The maillog file show that the file has been sent to the user, but there is nothing in 
the Maildir.
