No local delivery??? HELP!
Hi, I've just upgraded qmail from 0.94 to 1.03 and now there's no local delivery of email! When I sent email from anywhere on the internet to our mailhost it immediately delivers. When I sent email from inside our LAN to an account on the mailhost the message is put in the queue and as far as I can see it isn't deliverd! What to do? Regards, Erwin

can anyone send me a boot script for the tcpserver which logs not to the console, but into the logfiles???
tcpserver
i did and use this script: start) echo -n "Starting qmail: svscan" cd /var/qmail/supervise env - PATH="$PATH" svscan echo $! /var/run/svscan.pid echo "." ;; There is no error message during startup, qmail-send etc. are running, but i am not able to send mails from a client using the qmail server (error: server not reachable). When using the comman "tcpserver ..." it works just fine, but the traffic is logged to the console. Do I have to add a line in the script above?

Is there anyt imap server work with (qmail + mySQL)?
Dear qmail lover. I installed MySQL + qmail 1.03 on RedHat 6.0 (Intel CPU). And it has worked well last 2 months. Now I want to IMAP service for users. But I don't know if there is IMAP server or its patches for ( MySQL + qmail ). You know (MySQL + qmail) system stores user infomations - HOME DIR etc - in MySQL DB. So I'm looking for IMAP server which is supporting qmail's MySQL patch. Thank you for reading...

Adam Michaud [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] wrote: I'm experimenting with smtp-poplock to provide smtp-after-pop. Looks to be working like a charm (thanks, David!), but I've got a question about the smtp-poplock.static_allowed file -- specifically, are wildcards (or addresses with netmasks) allowed here? For example, could I do any of the following (if 12.34.56.* were a class C that I owned): 12.34.56. 12.34.56.* 12.34.56.0/24 to specify the entire range of addresses in that class C network? The output of "showallowed" heads the IP address column with "ipaddr (and netmask)", which makes me think that something like this is possible, but I'm not sure what the syntax would be. Yes, in the smtp-poplock.static_allowed you can specify an address and netmask in the form: 12.34.56.0/24 12.34.56.0/255.255.255.0 or you can just specify the address without a netmask. - David Harris Principal Engineer, DRH Internet Services

If you installed according to the current version of LWQ, you should also have installed daemontools 0.61, which contains svscan.

Enforcing a min. delay between POP3-polling
Hi, I was wondering if anybody on this list has a solution to enforce a minimum delay a user has to wait for polling his pop3 box. A lot of users on my POP3-Server are polling it every 30secs while being online 24/7. This produces unnecassary load on the pop3 machine. Does anybody have scripts/a patch to make qpop3d print an error message and deny the pop3-access for a certain time (like 1minute) if the user is "hammering" the pop3 Server ? I think this could be implemented just like a smtp-after-pop3 solution with the only difference that it is "the other way round" (you lock out users for a certain time window instead of giving them access to a service for a certain time). Thanks in advance, Jochen

bogus mail from??
Hi, I'm just wondering if MAIL FROM: in SMTP session is valid or not? From what I understand is that qmail uses that to send bounce messages. However some sites (particulary ones using IMail v5) rejects that sender saying "501 bogus mail from". I don't care if the sender doesn't receive the bounce back, heck I tried to send bounce message but they rejects it. It's just annoying, especially if this is valid, not bogus.

yet another question about Virtual domains
I know this is a tense subject on the mailing list, but please bear with me. ;o) I haven't even INSTALLED qmail yet, but would much rather use it on my RedHat 6.1 box than the stock sendmail that's full of holes. However, my dilemma is that I'm going to be running multiple virtual domains on one server, web, mail, ftp, etc. and am curious to know what steps exactly I should follow to get the setup completed with qmail. Before you start ranting about "RTFM", I have read through the FAQ's and found them a little confusing. I also searched through the mailing list archives and am even more confused. What I'm looking for here is a way to set up my server to accept mail for domain1.com, domain2.com and domain3.com ... etc, to domainn.com. Each domain should have its own unique users. That is, [EMAIL PROTECTED] is NOT [EMAIL PROTECTED] Is this going to be a problem? This is the issue that I fail to see (easily) addressed from what I've read so far. I plan to have a directory structure in place such as: /home/domain1/mail/user1 /home/domain1/mail/user2 etc for each of the domains so that each user can login using POP/IMAP to retrieve their mail. I'd also like an way to handle Email aliasing so that [EMAIL PROTECTED] can be sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or wherever else I need it to go. I'm not new to Linux, but I'm new to the idea of setting up multiple domains on a single host, so any hand-holding would be appreciated.

Using tcpserver, set the RELAYCLIENT variable to "" when a user connects from one of the static IPs you wish to allow relaying from, and don't set RELAYCLIENT to anything for everyone else.

Putting "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" in a .qmail file is exactly what you should do. If that doesn't work right, you'll need to provide more details if you want help figuring out why. -Dave

It sounds like you need to do a *LOT* more homework before hitting the list with non-information like this. If you administer a system then you'll know how important it is to state all relevant information exactly. Paraphrasing a log file is *NOT* stating any information exactly. Do you get frustrated when people using your computer systems come to you with little more than "it doesn't work!". Well, that's about what you've done here. You should be attempting to debug this yourself. What efforts have you made to do this? Have you put any tracing or logging information into the php script? If you have done so, what did you discover? Have you tried to run the script outside of the web server? What did it show? If you're on an OS that has a system call trace facility, what does that show? Did you try making a wrapper for index.php to check the parameters and return status of the real index.php? If so, what do those parameters look like? Did you try making a wrapper around the relevant qmail program to see if it's getting invoked and with what arguments? If so, did you invoke it manually with the same parameters to see what happens? If you haven't done any of this, what efforts do you expect people on this list to make on your behalf? Apart from training in clairvoyancy that is? Regards.

Re: mail to all@domain.com password protected
Marco Leeflang [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: is it possible to secure mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a password so only people who knows the user/password or just the password could mail to this emailaddress. .qmail-all will hold all users within this domain. One way we've solved this problem in the past when we didn't need to support user forwarding addresses was to just write a script to deliver directly to their inboxes. That's much faster than anything that goes through the mail system, although you have to be careful to do the right locking. But that way, security is pretty straightforward; the only person who would be able to run the script is root on the mail server. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) URL:http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/
Re: AW: AW: AW: php3 and qmail
What does the qmail file look like? The message file? Do you have the http server set to record at debug level? Most are preconfigured to use warn.

Two smtpd/databytes?
Is it possible to run two versions of qmail-smtpd (say, on different port #s), with different control/databytes files? Boss is asking whether we can set a limit on the size of incoming mail (easy, use databytes) but have no limit on the outgoing mail. Easiest way is to have 2 SMTP servers on separate machines, but would it be possible to this up on only one machine? I am running qmail-smtpd under tcpserver, if that is any help. TIA, Brian -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.baquiran.com US Fax: (603) 908-0727 AIM: bbaquiran
Re: Two smtpd/databytes?
Sure. Just run two instances of qmail. In fact, why not mutlihome your system (or alias depending on which term you prefer) and have them both on port 25. One listens to your internally advertised address and one listens to your MX address. You can also control how many resources go to which service then, all on the one machine. Regards.

If your network is the 1.2.3 class C, stick something like this in your rules file: 1.2.3.:allow,RELAYCLIENT="",DATABYTES="0" That'll set DATABYTES to zero (meaning there's no limit) for your internal clients.

A newbie's question: qfilelog and multilog
Hi there, I am having qmail-1.03 with daemontools-0.61 running and would like to have my logs rotated on a daily base. I learned from the Qmail Mailing List Archive that qfilelog could do just what I am expecting but all the messages there seem to be about older version of daemontools (cyclog). I wonder if anyone out there had got it running with daemontool-0.61 (multilog). How do I set my 'run script' to have them work together ? Thanks in advance ! -- Wang-hua Li
