If yes, we need to see how exactly you pass the message from DMZ to LAN. Normal smtproutes forwarding does not change the RCPT TO: address, ie. the local LAN server still sees "user@[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and bounces it back claiming "no such local mailbox user@remote2".

Can anyone offer any suggestions? Thanks! Local domains The definition of a "local" maildomain is that all local users (i.e. default those in /etc/passwd) has a mailadress on the form @. This will NOT be overridden by any virtual domain with the same name. As soon as one wants to not deliver all mail for a domain locally it's often much wiser to make it virtual. The alternative is to divert the mail from within the users home directories (their .qmail-files). For doing efficient mail hosting that is easy to maintain and debug, it's always best to have local delivery of mail to the mailhost. I.e. if your mailhost is called gandalf.foobar.net, then that very host accepts mail for that local domain. When splitting domain delivery, it's always easiest to take advantage of that local mailhost domain delivery. One local user, the rest to somewhere else == 1. Domain handling Put the all the domains in /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts like this: foobar.net gandalf.foobar.net 2. Put the domain in /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains: foobar.net:alias-foobar DO NOT domains in locals if you have them in virtualdomains! 3. Put the HOSTNAME of the mailhost in /var/qmail/control/locals: gandalf.foobar.net 4. Create local delivering alias Now all mail to foobar.net is handled by ~alias/.qmail-foobar-* which means that you can create a ~alias/.qmail-foobar-joe and put &[EMAIL PROTECTED] in this file. This will locally deliver joes mail. Repeat this step if you have more aliases that should be delivered locally. 5. Create forwarding alias You want to forward all other mail to the central mailhub. (Let's assume that host is called biffo.foobar.net) Then create a ~alias/.qmail-foobar-default that will handle mail to ~alias/.qmail-foobar-* where * is a username. Put this line into the file: |forward "${DEFAULT}@biffo.foobar.net" This will forward [EMAIL PROTECTED] to the central mailhub [EMAIL PROTECTED] /magnus -- http://x42.com/ > - Mike > -- > -- > Michael Borowiec - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Tellabs Operations, Inc. > Lead Engineer, Engineering Software Tools 4951 Indiana Ave., MS 57 > 630-512-8019 FAX: 630-512-7010 Lisle, IL 60532 USA > -- -- http://x42.com/ \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign - Say NO to HTML in email and news x

Qmail and IMAP
How do you set up Cyrus IMAPd to work with QMail? In particular, I would like to do the "single system UID for all mail accounts" trick as well as the selective SMTP relaying after authenticating through POP or IMAP using TCPServer. The latter I already have by using the patch to checkpassword, but I'm pretty sure that won't work with Cyrus so I'll need a new method of implementing it. Thanks, ~Patrick
Yet another relay issue with Qmail
Sigh - I just went through this last month with relay issues between Qmail and Sendmail - and now I've got the same problem with Qmail to Qmail.. I've got Qmail on a DMZ host. No percenthack, good rcpthosts file/etc. Relaying of the form "user@remote" to "user@remote2" fails as expected. Mail from "user@remote" to "user@[EMAIL PROTECTED]" is accepted and passed onto our internal LAN Qmail server. Now the DMZ host is on a different subnet than our LAN - so the LAN Qmail server thinks the incoming SMTP session is from a foreigner - but it still accepts it... If I connect from the DMZ host to the interal LAN Qmail server and attempt a manual "user@remote" to "user@remote2" - that fails with the "no relaying" error. However "user@[EMAIL PROTECTED]" is accepted and past onto the appropriate smtproute rule. End result, relaying does occur... Why does Qmail treat xxx@sss@ttt addresses differently than it treats xxx@sss addresses when it comes to relaying checks? Anyone know how this is meant to be worked around? -- Cheers Jason Haar Unix/Network Specialist, Trimble NZ Phone: +64 3 3391 377 Fax: +64 3 3391 417
Maildir --> Procmail
I have setup my Qmail Server using Procmail to deliver mails to /var/spool/mail. I experimented Maildir format. I have 200+ users on this machine. Now I wanted to switch back to Procmail. As far as Documnetation and my knowledge is concerned, I have made each and every thing to bring Qmail to Procmail. But now, QMail always searches for a Mailbox.

RE: Running Programs in .qmail
Thanks for the response, Peter. Yes, the "security" of the app is not my doing (otherwise I wouldn't have this problem at all!). And, yes, I removed the shell from qmailq almost as soon as I added it. Unfortunately my problem persists. I was hoping to not cloud this discussion with our site-specific implementation, but... We've hacked qmail to not set uid/gid on delivery (actually the recipient doesn't even have an account on the machine). So, the uid/gid of the process running the .qmail is indeed qmailq/qmail. This is why is seems strange that with qmail in the testgrp group it still complains.

multiple qmail instances
Folks, I've one question. I need to run multiple instances of qmail. I need different behavior of qmail on every interface of our firewall. On DMZ, there is some postcard system and on this interface I need to set shorter queuelifetime. On outside interface I need filter mail through QMAILQUEUE patch - I need to filter out e-mails with attached .exe file. Inside interface rewrites some From: lines. So, my quetion is ? Can I change qmail root from /var/qmail ?? Is there some other solution for my problem ??

Amavis and Qmail, how?
Hi, Maybe someone can help me with the following problem: I got a qmail-1.03 mailserver and am trying to use amavis-0.2.0-pre6-clm-rl-5 with it. I followed the installation instructions from www.unixzone.com/virus and compiled amavis with "configure --enable-qmail". The problem is that everything I send by mail containing a virus passes the scanner, so the virus is not detected at all. I know scanmails works because when I place "|/usr/sbin/scanmails" in ~/.qmail the virus is detected. Can anyone who is using the same configuration tell me what to do or how you managed to get it to work?

dynamic mail queue
I have a box that dials up to an ISP and disconnects etc etc. I have followed Doug Vander Woude's documentation on Mail Queue, and it works a treat, for what it does. But I'm getting greedy now, and I want things to be a little more dynamic. Instead of the queue being used all the time and mail sent when the link comes up, I want qmail to send out the PPP if it is up, or place it in the queue if the PPP is down. This way, if I am online for 40-50 mins I wouldn't have to wait for the link to go down then back up again (as Dougs solution involves the queue being flushed on ip-up) or I wouldn't have to manually instruct the queue to be flushed, when the link is up. Has anybody thought of (and made) a reliable system for this. I came up with some nasty polling scripts that get run when the PPP is open, sending the queued mail every 30 second, but I figured the must be a much more eloquent method. I'm sure somebody can suggest a method. Cheers Shem

multiple aliases for each user
Hi, Each user at my company has several e-mail aliases (first.last, first_last, Flast, firstL) with our current sendmail server that equates to alot of lines in the aliases file. What is the best way to do this on my new qmail server? I am worried about the administration time creating all of the .qmail- files in ~aliases. Would we see a performance hit if I installed dotforward and run some aliases from the aliases file, and the rest as .qmail-? Thanks in advance Maxe. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: RH RPM POP3 problemo!!!
Have you installed checkpassword? Also, the Maildirs have to be created by hand using maildirmake which has to be run by the user. Also, make sure qmail delivers to ~/Maildir.

fetchmail with forcecr option
Looking through man fetchmail I read: The 'forcecr' option controls whether lines terminated by LF only are given CRLF termination before forwarding. Strictly speaking RFC821 requires this, but few MTAs enforce the requirement it so this option is normally off (only one such MTA, *qmail*, is in significant use at time of writing). Searching the list-archive I've seen many postings which contain forcecr as an option in the .fetchmailrc file. I'am not using this option and qmail works without problems. Furthermore reading http://cr.yp.to/smtp/request.html I can't see any reason for using the forcecr option. Dan Bernstein only recommends that servers should look only for LF. So my questions are: - Is the forcecr option obsolet for the use with qmail? - Have there been problems with fetchmail and qmail without this option? TIA, Martin

Try using /var/qmail/users/mailnames (documented briefly in the man page for qmail-pw2u). Essentially, it's a lot of lines of the format: sysaccount:mailalias1[:mailalias2][...] We use it to set up the same types of aliases here. qmail-pw2u takes it into account when it creates the output which you put into /var/qmail/users/assign, which is used by qmail-newu to create the cdb file.

Qmail can't find file that is obviously there
Hello, I'm fairly new to qmail, but I seemed to get ezmlm working with it quite well last week without too much trouble. However, our web site hosts upgraded their server (I'm not certain if qmail was part of the change), but after the upgrade ezmlm moderation requests fail when they try to send the approved message: > Hi. This is the qmail-send program at server.bogus.net. > I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses. > This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out. > > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > ezmlm-moderate: fatal: unable to execute > /web/sites/bogus.com/bin/ezmlm-send > '/web/sites/bogus.com/qmaildir/news': file does not exist > ezmlm-moderate: fatal: Fatal error from child It seems that ezmlm-moderate can't find ezmlm-send. I've checked and ezmlm-send is exactly where it has always been and it matches the path given above. To make things simpler, I created a simple .qmail file apart from ezmlm with similar results. I put a test script in /web/sites/bogus.com/bin and create a .qmail that contained '|preline /web/sites/bogus.com/bin/test'. This message was very similar from this test. > Hi.

Re: qmail anti-spamming
Sergio, First, let me state that I don't think you gain any "real" leverage against determined spammers by using SMTPS as opposed to SMTP, however, there are probably far fewer spammers trying to use SMTPS as opposed to plaintext SMTP, because there are misconfigured SMTP servers all over the net...so spammers will always look for the easier targets. You should be able to use stunnel and openssl to generate (and sign) your own certificates which then wrap the SMTP session in the SSL layer. The docs are not plentiful, but should suffice. stunnel will run quite happily under tcpserver, by the way... Typically, SMTPS listens on port 465. stunnel: http://mike.daewoo.com.pl/computer/stunnel/ openssl: http://www.openssl.org/ Best of luck, -Martin -- Martin A.

qmail-imap, cyrus imap, qmail
Has any work been done on qmail-imap since 0.02, dated 12 March 1999 at ftp://ftp.qmail.org/imap/ ? I applied the patch (for qmail-1.02) to qmail-1.03. It applied cleanly, largely because what the patch really did was create two new .c files and modify the Makefile. It seems to work, but like the documentation says, that seems to be about it. Using Netscape, if I tried to read the INBOX., I get the response, "too many args", which appears to be in the do command (docmd) function in qmail-imapd.c. Unfortunately, this is the better of the results I've gotten. I suspect this may be due to the bugs in Netscape's IMAP client that causes other IMAP daemon's to complain. If qmail-imap is dead, what other options are there? I've used Courier IMAP, which supports Maildirs, but it chokes with Netscape quite often. I installed and have used cyrus imapd, but I cannot find anything anywhere on how to make it use Maildirs, or even make it coexist with qmail effectively. The ideal solution, I think, would be qmail-imapd because it uses checkpassword, which I've patched for selective relaying, as well as its native support for maildir. It's also pretty cool that qmail-imapd implemented as a bunch of perl files. ;) Thanks, ~Patrick
Qmail & Majordomo
I have just switched my majordomo list over to a new host. I have found that when I subscribe a name and address together, e.g.: "Andrew Scott" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> that there are problems sending out the mail. I have been told that the problem is that the host is using qmail instead of sendmail, and that qmail does not like to see names. It interprets the whole thing as one address. 1. Is this true? 2. If it is, is there a way around it (besides dropping the names from the list)? Thank you very much!

You won't get it to use Maildirs. (Of course, unless you feel you truly need direct file access to the mailbox or must run over NFS, Cyrus format is probably higher performance) It will of course exist happily with qmail; it's just a matter of using the right invocation of 'deliver' in .qmail-default. -- greg
