qmailanalog and current daemontools
qmailanalog wants seconds and fractional seconds (since start of epoch, I
suppose, although I don't think it actually matters since I believe all of
its calculations are relative). Dan, were you planning on releasing a new
version of qmailanalog sometime at or after qmail 2.0? Is the logging
format going to change sufficiently that I shouldn't put a lot of time
into approving log analysis for 1.03?
Attached is a small program based on tai64nlocal that will convert from
tai64n format to what qmailanalog expects.

Convert external TAI64N timestamps to fractional seconds since epoch.

Usage:
tai64nfrac < input > output
Expects the input stream to be a sequence of lines beginning with @, a

How do I set my 'run script' > to have them work together ? This is the tricky bit. daemontools-0.61 introduced the concept of an svscan pipe between a process and its logger. The reason was because shell pipes are unreliable. In order to use qfilelog, you would have to do something like: qmail-start ./Maildir/ tai64n | qfilelog somefile In you want to run this under daemontools-0.61, your run script would be: qmail-start ./Maildir/ And your log/run script would be: tai64n | qfilelog somefile This is where the problem is: You're back to using shell pipes and there's a possibility of loss of logs if one of the components of the pipeline dies unexpectedly. While there are convoluted ways of achieving time-based rotation with multilog, I really wish it was a built-in feature. -- See complete headers for more info
Re: Problem with rcpthosts
Well, the purpose of rcpthosts is to specify what domains mail will be recieved for. If it doesn't exist, you are an open relay. If you're sending from a certain subnet or IP, you can simply specify what IPs are exceptions to rctphosts. Or, there are methods of smtp after pop or straight smtp authentication if you're using a new Netscape or Outlook Express.

And you don't have to restart anything after making a change to rcpthosts--it's reread for every incoming smtp connection. If the bracketed IP address in the e-mail address is one of the computer's IP addresses, then the contents of control/localiphost (which defaults to control/me) is the domain that's checked for in control/rcpthosts. So whatever's in control/me (or control/localiphost if you have it) needs to be in control/rcpthosts in order for this to work for you. Chris

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.

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]) http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>

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.

Like the master himself says, "Profile - don't speculate." In this case, look at the way qmail and ezmlm work. By "parallel SMTP processes" I'm assuming you're referring to the way qmail handles deliveries, which is to spawn one qmail-remote process for each recipient address. That all happens after the mail is injected by ezmlm into the qmail queue. shag - Original Message - From: Jeremy Hansen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tue 1 Feb 2000 13.39 Subject: Re: what makes ezmlm fast?

What IMail does wrong is allowing the user to do so with one click of the mouse. qmail can be configured to break lots of RFCs, that's not even hard. But nothing that can happen 'incidentally'.

Logging information about each email.
Hi Folks, I'm wondering the best place/way to log details about each email to a database of some sort. Specifically I need to log, from address, to address, and email size. Any hints on where to start? Thanks, Lance

You don't want to relay based on the SMTP envelope sender, as this is easily spoofed by spammers. You want to relay based on IP address. This is easy for customers with static IPs. 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. For dhcp'd/mobile clients, use a SMTP-after-POP solution. There are several, listed on qmail.org and other places. Have you checked Life with qmail? This is one of the most common FAQs there is.

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.

This is _not_ an IMail problem. This is a user-configurable setting. If mail from <> is bouncing that means the admin of that site has chosen to enable that setting.

"<>" 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.

Notice-Requested-Upon-Delivery-To
Hello. I've seen in the documentation of qmail that it has qreceipt, to use if a mail comes with the header: Notice-Requested-Upon-Delivery-To Can it be used if the header has this other option?: Return-Receipt-To Anyway, they both doesn't work on my server because they say: 502 unimplemented (#5.5.1) I suppose I have to recomplie qmail with some option, but which one? Thanks.

init script svc issue
At LWQ 2.8.5, I ran into a problem where I couldn't get sv to do anythign useful with QMail. I'm certain this is a pretty boneheaded mistake, but for some reason, svc won't recognize the run scripts. For example, this is what I get. I include the first entry in the interest of being thorough. # svc -d /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd svc: warning: unable to control /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd: file does not exist # svc -d /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run svc: warning: unable to chdir to /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run: not a directory # ls /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/ log run # ls -l /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/ total 2 drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 1024 Feb 1 10:08 log -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 238 Feb 1 10:06 run Tips, clues, advice, welcome.

mail to all@domain.com password protected
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. i use vchkpwd/vpopmail with qmailadmin. i can use vpopbull , which works ok with plain text, but i also want send attachements to everyone. marco leeflang
Can it be done ?
Is it possible to get a copy of messages a certain user sends and receives ? Many thanks

Any perl script (such as formmail (http://www.scriptarchive.com)) supports sendmail supports qmail. Qmail installs a Sendmail frontend for you that mimicks the functionality of /usr/lib/sendmail

Does anybody know how to use this with qmail?? Probably the same way, as long as you've linked /usr/sbin/sendmail to /var/qmail/bin/sendmail. Chris
php3 and qmail
in php there is a function called "mail()". In the docs it is described how to use it with sendmail. Does anybody know how to use this with qmail??
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

Actually, I was helping a guy get qmail running on Yellow Dog Linux (runs on PPC's, i.e. Macs), and it was failing precisely *because* he was following the instructions exactly.

Dave, you should make clear that 200 may need adjusting. This would likely have failed on my new Sun Ultra 5's as well, although I use my own scripts there, so I've never actually tried it. -- Paul J.
