Sending Host's IP Address

[Peter Gradwell]

Hi,

qmail-command defines a whole bunch of really useful environment variables 
which are set, like HOST, SENDER, USER, LOCAL, etc.

We want to capture the sending host's IP address in a perl script, invoked 
from a .qmail file, as we want to look it up in the MAPS lists and do some 
stats and stuff.

It appears that we will have to parse the headers of the message to get the 
ip address of the host it came from. Is this the only way?

cheers

MX for two domains pointing towards one qmail server

[shajai]

Hi,

MX for two domains pointing towards one qmail server, 
all mails for both the domains are coming to that server. How can I define two 
mail accounts with the same username for different domains(i.e. [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] ).
 Also the qmail server is checking only for 
username after the mails come to the server how can I instruct qmail to check 
for the complete email id(i.e. [EMAIL PROTECTED] )instead of checking 
only for username.
Thanks,
Shailendra.

Tcpserver problems on machine w/ multiple IPs

[Brian Baquiran]

All of a sudden I'm having problems with tcpserver on a machine with multiple
IP's (but only one network interface card). It was working great until recently;
running qmail-smtpd and qmail-pop3d on both a "live" IP and a non-routable IP
(192.168.0.x). But just a few hours ago, it stopped running qmail-smtpd AND
qmail-pop3d on the non-routable IP. 

The non-routable IP is still up. I can telnet to ports 25 and 110 from machines
on the non-routable network, but although tcpserver seems to accept the
connection, it does not seem to run the proper program once a TCP session is
established. It works OK on the live IP though.

Has this happened to anyone else before? Any advice (where to look, etc.) would
be greatly appreciated.

There are already existing tools out there that produce perfectly reusable
and recyclable code, which have been battleproven, and can easily handle
huge projects made out of modular parts.  I have four projects, in which an
average of 50% of the code is shared amongst all four of them, and is
organized into about a dozen different subdirectories.

Initially RCS worked fine for me.  In each directory of a shared module, I
simply set RCS to be a soft link pointing to a common directory.

However, lately due to increased complexity I upgraded to CVS, so that
changes to any shared code can be automatically propagated via one cvs
update, instead of having to remember to RCS co each individual file from
the shared RCS repository, for each project.  Any time I switch projects I
just do a cvs update, and I'm all set.  

And, because CVS is just a shell on top of RCS, moving to CVS was virtually
a no-op.

That's nasically a simplified version of what autoconf and automake does. 
They are standardized tools that everyone knows how to use.  There's an
initial steep learning curve, but, after a while, it becomes as natural as
breathing.

Easily handled via CVS, with autoconf and automake.  Take a look at
sqwebmail - http://www.inter7.com/sqwebmail/, courier-imap -
http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/, and maildrop -
http://www.flounder.net/~mrsam/maildrop/.  All three tools reuse about a
dozen functional modules, which are stored only once, in a single
repository.  At any given time, actually, there might be very minor
differences in the same module within each individual package simply due to
the fact I don't package them as a tarball simultaneously, but only when
there's a functional upgrade.

But, ignoring those minor differences, although the base source code within
all three projects is identical, in some cases the autoconf/automake
scripts end up configuring the same module quite differently.   For
example, look at the authlib library.  Because Courier-IMAP includes the
libhmac module, authlib detects it and compiles some code that implements
CRAM-MD5 authentication, which uses the code from libhmac.  The same
authlib module does not compile the CRAM-MD5 code when it is packaged as
part of sqwebmail, because sqwebmail does not include the libhmac library,
and it has no need for CRAM-MD5 authentication.

I just noticed that maildrop does not include the md5 module, because I
haven't worked on maildrop for a while, and haven't updated it.  Therefore,
the userdb virtual account module can only set crypted passwords for the
userdb virtual account database.  Simply adding the md5 module to the
maildrop build will result in userdb reconfiguring itself to offer an
option of storing passwords encrypted with the MD5 hash function,
permitting longer passwords.

It's quite convenient to package standalone modules as individual
subdirectory that can be plonked into any project, and have a top-level
configure script configure it.  autoconf and automake have the necessary
resources to build a module hierarchy, so there's no need to badger djb for
this tools, since equivalent capabilities have been available in autoconf
and automake for years...

off-topic: Dan's engineering methods

[Len Budney]

Apologies for this slightly off-topic post.

Has Dan has revealed enough about his engineering methods for others
to duplicate them? Does anybody want to, possibly producing sharable
tools? Given the quality of his results, his methods might be worth
imitating.  (Plus, I'm not happy with current approaches to building;
below are some reasons.)

Dan: any hints, pointers, or sample scripts, however rough, would be
much appreciated--at least by me.

The big open question for me is:

  1. What does he use for source control, given that he builds in one
 directory, and bundles the same libraries with many packages? How
 is the repository organized? CVS etc. like hierarchies.

Here's what I have determined or guessed from following these lists.

  1. Dan _does_ have automated tools, but doesn't consider them production
 quality and hasn't released them [1].

  2. The ezmlm package contains files of form *=* which give a strong
 hint how his makefiles are generated [2].

  3. Dan appears to track "functional units" of code, and appears to
 incorporate them into projects as units [5]. Perhaps using CVS
 modules or the like?

  4. All sources go into one directory; Perhaps because recursion defeats
 make's dependency checks [3,4]? Perhaps because many tools don't like
 to build things in subdirectories? Perhaps because his packages
 are pretty small, so it just doesn't matter?

  5. The "just in time dependency" [1] approach to configuration is fairly
 well understood. (DJB's 'yabbawhap' package included a tool which
 inspired autoconf [1], but he has adopted his current approach
 because monolithic config subverts make's dependency checking [3].)

  6. Scripts "compile" and "load" exist so make can manage dependency
 on compiler settings. Changed settings force recompilation [3].

Thanks,
Len.

problems with dropped network packets

[Theodore Cekan]

I am running FreeBSD 3.3 with a pn0 network card.  When I have qmail send
out large amounts of email to a subscriber list (about 100k addresses) I
often get errors in my message log about dropped packets and 'Out of mbuf
clusters'.  Qmail then stops sending mail, but I can still telnet in, so the
network is still up.  It suggests I increase nmbclusters or maxusers.  I
have maxusers set at 64 and nmbclusters at 2048.  Qmail is the only thing
running on the server.  Do I really need to increase these?  Is there a
problem with the pn0 nic driver?  Anyone else solve this problem?

Any help is much appreciated.

Re: FAQ 5.4 and Mailing Lists

 Qmail does not use the To: header to check relaying.  It uses the 
address given in the SMTP "RCPT TO" command.  In the case of mailing lists, 
this *IS* actually the address of the mail recipient and not the mailing 
list itself.

FAQ 5.4 and Mailing Lists

[jacob]

Hi.

I am having a hard time understanding how to set up qmail to stop third-party relaying 
while still accepting all of the legitimate mail our users recieve.

The specific problem I have having is that mail from distribution lists (where the To: 
field addresses the list itself and not that of the local user) is being seen as a 
relay since the list domain isn't in /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts and tcp-env isn't 
setting RELAYCLIENT because the list domain is also not in the set of domains we want 
to accept relays for.

I read and reread the FAQ but didn't see an answer for this situation.  It seems like 
it would be a common problem, but perhaps I just don't understand enough of how the 
qmail system works.

Thanks in advance for any help.

host masq w/ exception for root delivery?!

[nparrish]

I hope this is not a terribly FAQ; I've searched through the discussion
list archives a good bit, and I've seen some answers which come rather 
close, but don't quite seem to hit my particular nail square on the 
head...  with that disclaimer done:

Setting my system up as a null-host seems to be nigh-perfect for me,
except for local root mail.  I found a suggestion in the archive that 
one might apply FAQ 1.2 and FAQ 5.5.  unfortunately, I was rather 
spoiled in the past by being able to leave off the @whereever.com for 
local mail.  If I follow FAQ 1.2, mail sent from my box to a local 
user will arrive at that user's mailbox, but with the To: address of 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]  Things get real nasty when people 
start doing group replies and suchlike, since my box is not always
up, and I shouldn't be in the business of delivering mail anyway.

FAQ 1.1 (host masquerading) works great for this, EXCEPT for the nasty
bit about root mail going out as [EMAIL PROTECTED], meaning that it 
goes out to the sysadmin for my company, who really doesn't care what 
happened with my cron scripts last night.  I do care about what 
happened with my cron scripts last night, so I put my address in 
~alias/.qmail-root.  but I don't have local delivery turned on, so 
my alias is never consulted...

So I'm looking for a solution whereby
a) I can still send mail to someuser and the to: address is
[EMAIL PROTECTED],
not [EMAIL PROTECTED],
b) I show up as [EMAIL PROTECTED], and
c) root mail gets delivered to my alias rather than going to
mailhub.whereever.com, who sends it to the sysadmin for my company.

Sure.  Anything is possible.  Run your Perl script permanently in the

This is the "long way" as I don't really know the "short war".  You could
set up Apache+mod_perl+my_sql and have the dot-qmail file send stuff to a

Well, it would be nice if qmail was fully compliant here (although I

So qmail should convert a message to quoted-printable iff necessary.  
Anything else is dangerous and bad.

But I certainly don't want a programme that does so many dangerous

I would highly recommend looking at the vpopmail distribution at
. We use qmail with "real" and "virtual"
users simultaneously (using vpopmail for the virtuals and stock qmail with
the reals) and we couldn't be happier. Development on vpopmail is active and
rapid, and the supporting tools (e.g., )

Create the user accounts with the "-s /bin/false" option; this gives 
them a "shell" of /bin/false, which essentially preventys login. 
qmail will work fine.

I don't get it. How are multiple virtual domains more (than linearly)
complex than one?

If you ask how to do aliases, and I say "echo user >~alias/.qmail-foo",
is it not trivial to deduce the mechanism for creating other aliases?

Ever seen one of those "standard qmail distrubution[s]"? Me neither.

I think fastforward and dotforward are crutches for sendmail
emigrés. If Dan thought .forwards were such a great idea, we wouldn't
have .qmail files. Likewise for fastforward.

No, not just a patch, it's a completely separate program.  It uses

More probably it is "rewritten" by your mail server.  Sendmail has a
habit of rewriting any addresses to correct the MUA's incorrect or partial
view of the world.  Qmail, less so; but see the mess822 package
(particularly ofmipd) at http://cr.yp.to/mess822.html.

Probably easier to fix in the client.

Fine; build your own MTA which conforms to your own vague requirements and
doesn't do the *something* that you don't like (drop messages? bounce
messages? burn messages?). And make sure it interoperates with a
_majority_ of _existing_ clients and servers.

Depending on the POP server you use, you could use the bulletin feature.
qpopper supports bulletins. If you use qmail-pop3d, I think there's a
patch on www.qmail.org to give that functionality.

Who pretends?  ORBS knows very well that most qmail servers do
not relay.  Those who (are (mis)configured to) relay don't need
any obscure hacks, and those who don't, don't.

Have you been listed in ORBS?  If not, no open relay.

1. QSBMF may be Simple to Parse but it cannot be as simple as $EXTn

Just about.  See below.

Sheesh, Pavel, get a life or something!  The statement of the problem
that VERP solves is that there are N+1 foreign bounce message formats,
where N is the number that you have seen before.  VERP lets you
totally escape having to parse remote bounce messages.  Local bounce
messages use QSBMF.  Is this such a big deal??

Here's some perl code which splits out bounces, and also prunes some
stupid sendmail warnings.

$list = shift;
$_ = $ENV{LOCAL};
($addr) = m/$list-owner-(.*)/i or die "doesn't match the list name";
if ($addr) {
$addr =~ s/=([^=]*)$/\@$1/;

exit 99 if /THIS IS A WARNING MESSAGE ONLY/;

}

limiting smtp message size depending on domain

[Robert Varga]

Is there a way to limit the maximum message size the qmail-smtpd accepts
varying from domain to domain.

Eg. I would like to have mail's going out of my LAN to have no size limit,
mail routed internally (from inside to inside through the mail hub) have
no size limit, but messages coming from outside have size limit, and
preferably even different limit for each domain. 

I would not like to do this somewhere after qmail-smtpd, because that way
the message gets accepted and hence transferred to our machine even if it
exceeds the size limit.

Is somewhere a patch for this?

[Scott Ballantyne]

There doesn't seem to be a list for the ucspi tools, or my eye slipped
over it on Dan's mailinglist page...

Are there known problems with tcpserver under OpenBSD 2.6? I've been
trying to bring up a 2.6 system, and using the same command line that
worked under SunOS 4 doesn't cut it here. anonftpd prints it's banner,
and then exits immediately. It works correctly from inetd.

Mail Logfiles

[Dewald Strauss]

Hi everybody,

Slight offtopic question...
Can anyone recommend a program to analyze the maillog files
generated by qmail ?
Anything that will show the amount of mail sent and received
will do at the moment.

thanks
Deew

Troubleshooting: Probably a FAQ...

[Mike Payson]

I've just set up my qmail server, but I'm having some last minute
problems... I just tried to sign up for a mailing list but the mailing
list choked on my headers. Below are the fiull headers as forwarded from
the mailing list administrator, & the error message generated by the
list server. Also attached are the full headers from a second message I
sent to myself at my current address. Any idea what I'm missing?

Thanks!
Mike
