Is the domain you are trying to send to in the locals files?

new yp.to DNS software

[D. J. Bernstein]

Starting later today, all yp.to DNS records will be provided by the same
DNS software that has been handling list.cr.yp.to for the past week.
Send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you encounter any DNS problems
with http://cr.yp.to or with mailing lists at list.cr.yp.to.

Beware that UIC will be disconnected from the network tonight from 0400
GMT to 0800 GMT. This is a PHB problem, not a DNS problem.

"that domain". 
/var/qmail/control/rcpthosts doesn't contain the domain name of the
recipient, and tcp-env or tcp-server (depending on how qmail-smtpd
is started) doesn't set the RELAYCLIENT variable.
I assume you need the later. Do not set it unconditionally, only
for client for which you do want to relay. See FAQ 5.4

yeah, i felt the same the first time i saw it :-)

The solution depends on what you want and need. Easy one:
a) logins throw the normal UNIX services (/etc/passwd, shadow, 
   unmodified checkpassword). For example bob:
   Create ~bob/.qmail-default containing a single line,
./Maildir/
   chown that to bob, 
   and "maildirmake ~bob/Maildir".
   Do the same for the other users (write a script for that).
   Mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" will not work, you need to
   create ~bob/.qmail for that.
b) /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:bob
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:bob
   If all mails for domain.example are supposed to go to bob
   then use:
domain.example:bob
c) add domain.example to rcpthosts
d) do not add domain.example to locals.

See FAQ 3.2 and 3.3. See the qmail-send manual page for a detailed
description of the virtualdomains file.

Using the users/assign mechnism isn't hard either, but somewhat more
complicated, and scales better. There are some packages available to
handle that for you, see www.qmail.org

These lines mean that 21.com is malconfigured and forwards messages to  
the address in the To header (which is the list address) instead of  
correctly handling the envelope addresses.

Obviously, a user at 21.com is subscribed to the list, but the broken  
mailer forwards the messages back to the list instead, which detects the  
loop and bounces the message.

Useful for spammers: Just send the messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the  
actual recipients in the To header.

I already informed [EMAIL PROTECTED] and qmail-owner, but 21.com's  
admins did not react.

Did I say I hate those * domain POP3 systems?

Hm, maybe in the future, ezmlm should check for such brokenness and  
refuse to subscribe users of such broken systems.

But this is really strange.
Is it possible that qmail already sends a bounce message if the primary  
MX fails and before it tries to send messages to the secondary.
Anyway, whatever 203.87.57.227 is, it does not accept messages for  
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Here's a quick hack:

while (<>) {
  if (my($s,$t,$rest)=/^\@.(\w{15})(\w{8})(.*)/) {
$s = hex($s);
$t = hex($t); $t =~ s/500$//;
$_ = "$s.$t$rest\n";
  }
} continue {
  print;
}

exit 0;

No. You have to pass the logs through some type of filter which converts

2 Problems SMTP and Virtual

[CDR Inc]

OK   Trying to re-acquaint myself with linux, so bear with me.. :)

I just installed QMAIL on Redhat 6.1

I thought I had the install right.  The POP3 seems to work OK..   And I can
telnet to the SMTP side and do the test.  But it doesn't receive the test
SMTP mail, and when I try to send mail from an EMAIL Client (Outlook) I get
the following error:

THIS MESSAGE COULD NOT BE SENT BECAUSE ONE OF THE RECEPIENTS WAS REJECTED BY
THE SERVER
SERVER RESPONSE: '553: sorry, that domains isn't in my list of allowed
rcpthosts (#5.7.1) ( Account 'cdrinc.net', SMTP Server: 'cdrinc.net')


Anyone have any ideas???



Secondly, I want to set up this one LINUX box to act as different domains.
As far as email goes, keep everything completely seperate.  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
checks mail.dom1.com for his mail..  [EMAIL PROTECTED]  checks mail.dom2.com
for her mail. etc etc..
I found one web site that explains how to do this
(http://www.tibus.net/pgregg/projects/qmail/single-uid-howto.txt)  I
followed this until it came to the users/assign and it lost me...

Any assistance on these issues would be most appreciated

At least it can. I once received a mail sized 35meg, and our customers
regularly send and receive mails over 10megs w/o problems other than
hitting administratively installed size limits on the remote ends, and
using qmail of course.

 Some items to check:
- How much space of that 13meg do you have left on that Unix server?
- Do you have a 1meg limit in your Windows messenger?
- Does your Unix administrator or so limit you in the size of individual
  emails? (Why are you not said administrator?)
- Your email did get delivered on the Unix box into your (POP3?) mailbox,
  to begin with?
- The Unix box has resources left over that could handle delivering such
  a mail (eg. swap space, process limits)?

It is probably the same problem as I experienced. 

I experienced the following:


My machine was connected with dialup to the internet. It had a caching
DNS. If I was not connected to the internet all requests to the POP3 port
worked the following way: a long wait before the POP3 server greeted the
client. Afterward it worked normally. 

It was due to the long time to resolve a DNS query, since there was no
connection to the internet and the hint zones were in the DNS config, so
it tried to ask them. It of course took a long time to timeout all
connections to the unreachable hint servers.

The solution was to took out hints from the DNS if not connected to the
internet.

It does need. I have ezmlm-idx from the potato package. It still needs
modifying the file inlocal.

Oops. I should have mentioned that ezmlm-idx doesn't need you to make
these changes ONLY if you use qmail >= 1.02. If you have qmail 1.01,
then you still need these changes.

daemontools and qmailanalog

Hi,

just a quickie: does qmailanalog handle the timestamps from the new
daemontools package?
