Anyone know how to monitor this?

[Michael Boman]

I want MRTG to monitor my mail traffic such like:

Incoming email's (per domain?)
Outgoing email's (per domain?)
POP3 connections (per domain?)
The number of messages in the queue
Average size of email (per domain?)
Average number of recipitiens
etc etc etc.. =)

My setup:
qmail 1.03
vpopmail 3.4.11.released
Linux 2.2.14

I use splogger for logging my traffic to syslog. My pop3 daemon is
qmail's own as well as my SMTP..

Please advice
 Michael Boman

qmail-inject and attchments

[TAG]

Hi,

Is there a way of specifying a subject and attaching files using
qmail-inject from the command line - the man page is not helpful in this
respect??

Thanks

 A couple of my users have the following error message come up when they
try to read their emails.

"An error occurred while saving mail messages"

I did some searching at http:// www.deja.com and it looks like I need to
delete this specific message from their queue.

I tried a 'mail -f /home/username/Mailbox' to look a their email
messages, but nothing is there. Why not? How can I get my hands on
the queue for this specific user to look at his messages and delete the
one that gives him trouble.

Any clue is welcome.  I tried to use qmHandle to look at the messages,
but the program just seems to hang, without any output, unless I reqest
the message numbers only. And doing do, I have no clue to whom that
message belongs!

Maybe there is another way to view the queue for a specific user?

Thanks in advance,
   Will

I saw something almost identical last Friday. Using netscape MUA 
and qmail pop server. We we went to pick up the
emails via pop we saw the same message you saw. It turned out to be
one particular email message. Maybe around 4K. Unfortunately it was
deleted before we saved a copy on the disk. Once we removed the
'bad' email, everything started working fine.

 I'm justing installing/setting up ezmlm, but it's not working, and I just
wanted some clarification as to how the .qmail-* files work.

 After installing ezmlm, there are the following new .qmail files in my
jplooney account:

lrwxrwxrwx jplooney .qmail-listname -> /home/jplooney/listname/editor
lrwxrwxrwx jplooney .qmail-listname-default -> /home/jplooney/listname/manager
lrwxrwxrwx jplooney .qmail-listname-owner -> /home/jplooney/listname/owner
lrwxrwxrwx jplooney .qmail-listname-return-default -> /home/jplooney/listname/bouncer

 Now, I'm supposed to mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -
but this always bounces. I was wondering - is it supposed to invoke
whatever pipes are listed in .qmail-listname, or is this and installation
problem ? (I can post to test lists, if I'm subscribed via ezmlm-sub,
etc).

Is my server being used as a SPAM relay?

[Albert Hopkins]

I can't see how/why it is happening, but it appears that our qmail server
is relaying email from outside senders to outside recipients (I thought
qmail by default doesn't do this).  My /var/qmail/control/locals and
/var/qmail/control/rcpthosts only have *.dynacare.com addresses in
them.  However qmail appears to be delivering to outside addresses even
though the source address is outside as well.

I've included a bounced bounce.  The original caller has an outside
address.

A few possibilities:
1. Misspelled name of "rcpthosts" file
2. RELAYCLIENT variable set to empty string system-wide
3. RELAYCLIENT variable set to empty due to error in tcpserver 
database or inetd wrappers syntax
4. Hacked qmail installation
5. You are a "smart host" for an open relay somewhere inside your 
network (doesn't look like that from the headers though)
6. A local user (or user on local network) does the spamming.

ezmlm-idx-0.40 has built-in support for QMQP. It sends posts via
qmail-qmqpc and administrative mail via qmail-queue. No need for extra
installations.

If your link is slow, increase the read timeout in qmail-qmqpc.
Otherwise, you sometimes get duplications because it doesn't hand
around long enough to get the final "OK" from the server and thus
assumes the delivery has failed. 5 min seems to work fine
trans-ISDN+trans-continentally.

This also keeps you lists responsive to sub/unsub/archive/mod.

Connected_to_x.x.x.x_but_connection_died

[Stephane Bortzmeyer]

[I'm not subscribed to the list, so I would appreciate a copy of replies.]

I have a qmail 1.01 host which previously sent mail by UUCP. Now, it sends 
everything to a smart host with SMTP. Sometimes, it works and sometimes, *all* 
the messages trigger a:

Feb 28 15:39:43 cachin qmail: 951748783.154132 delivery 6: deferral: 
Connected_to_x.x.x.x_but_connection_died._Possible_duplicate!/

(IP address hidden because it is a RFC 1918, anyway).

Searching the archives of the mailing list, I find very often this problem but 
no solution.

Telnetting to the smart host (which uses Sendmail 8.9.3 and which is not under 
my control) and running SMTP commands by hand works fine.

My machine is a RedHat 5 (yes, it's old, I know). stracing qmail-remote shows:

bortz@cachin$   sudo strace -p 26038
oldselect(4, [3], NULL, NULL, {996, 94}) = 0 (Timeout)
shutdown(3, 0 /* receive */)= 0
oldselect(4, NULL, [3], NULL, {1200, 0}) = 1 (out [3], left {1200, 0})
write(3, "QUIT\r\n", 6) = 6
oldselect(4, [3], NULL, NULL, {1200, 0}) = 1 (in [3], left {1200, 0})
read(3, "", 128)= 0
write(1, "ZConnected to x.x.x.x but "..., 70) = 70

You need to use a full user-agent. qmail-inject is little more than what
it's name implies. Namely an injector or mail, not a composer of mail.

For a command line program that composes a mail with attachments, you
could do worse than mutt.

No.  qmail-inject doesn't know enough about the message structure to be
able to do that.  But there are certainly packages that can do this; I
believe Mutt is one of them.

I think he's looking for /var/qmail/bin/mailsubj.  It doesn't "attach

Cyclog has been replaced by multilog in daemontools 0.61. Note that
0.61 is not a drop-in replacement for 0.53. If you have scripts or
instructions based on 0.53, they won't work for 0.61.

Given that he wants to attach a file, I believe he's looking for Mutt,
which can do real file attachments from the command line IIRC.

Here are a couple of djb's old .sig lines:

  Sick of sendmail? Don't get mad; get qmail.
  Secure, reliable, efficient. Pick three.

Other djbisms like "Reliability means never having to say you're
sorry", "Profile, don't speculate", and Len Budney's .sig quotes are
possibilities, too.

I've been kicking around the idea of a qmail t-shirt for some time,
but I've been too busy to actually do it.

I'll buy at least one if:

 1) I like the design[1],
 2) the cost is reasonable[2], and
 3) my size (XXL)[3] is available.

-Dave

[1] I prefer my dolphin logo to the Q w/arrows logo, but that wouldn't
stop me from buying one. :-)
[2] Depends on quality of shirt, number of colors/sides printed, etc., 
but $25 delivered is generous, and more than many will spend on a
t-shirt.
[3] I'm not obese (6', 230 lbs), but I have a long torso.

Slow delivery (part 2)

[Matthew Bloch]

I've managed to narrow down my earlier problem, though I'm still confused.  

To reiterate, whenever I qmail-inject anything into the mail queue, it
sits in /var/qmail/control/mess/... without any control files present.  
Then maybe 1-2 hours later it is delivered (the log concurs with this).  
Running /etc/init.d/qmail restart makes all the mail go off immediately,
but sending an ALRM signal to qmail-send doesn't.

I've still no idea, anyone else care to help?

I could easily give two (or more!) options.  Do you have a large,

Question with concurrencyremote

[chChen]

hi all

 i just install qmail-1.03 on FreeBSD-3.3RELEASE.

but my qmail-send didn;t fork so much children to send mail.

sometime many (60~80) sometime very low(1~10) ...

My US$.02 on this design:

* I prefer black t-shirts; I pretty much only wear white t-shirts on
   laundry day.
* People often wear t-shirts underneath sweatshirts, jackets, or
   other things that cover the back but not the front. Putting the
   sendmail logo on the front and the qmail logo on the back can
   easily defeat the purpose of this shirt.
* I don't know what the legal considerations are in using the
   sendmail logo without permission; since they're now "Sendmail,

I suggest putting both sentences on the front, with just the qmail logo.

Hurrah! This sorts it nicely, thankyou.  The permissions were set to 600
rather than 622; change 'em and it works nicely.  Do you have any idea how
the permissions might have been set wrong in the first place?  It worked
fine when I'd installed the Debian package, then after some fiddling with
fetchmail I got this weird delay.  Anyhow, it's not important, it'd just
be nice to know.

thanks very much,

I prefer black as well, but I can do gray, white, and tan much
quicker and cheaper in one-off runs.  If enough of us decide we want
black, we can take orders, have them printed and then distributed.
This is easy enough but it will take longer and the price will
depend on how many we make.

I don't think I own a tshirt that doesn't have a logo on the front.
Oh, you probably mean the most prominent logo is the sendmail one...
Well, we could switch them and/or put all the words on the back with
a small qmail logo on the front...

> * I don't know what the legal considerations are in using the

Actually, it's not the sendmail logo.  To avoid copying it too
closely I drew it from memory and if you ask me, I only barely
matched the basic design.  http://www.sendmail.org/gif/batorng.gif

Also, sendmail, inc has a different logo.
http://www2.sendmail.com/img/logo.gif

But if people don't like it, we can easily get rid of it.

and qmail is queuing messages, but it won't deliver them and they never

My guess is that the IP address you've given tcpserver is wrong or you've
given it a hostname that it cannot resolve. How is tcpserver started and
what's on the command line?

Yep. What's 501 in /etc/passwd and /etc/group?

My guess is that $NOFILESGID has multiple values in it. I don't know why
that would be. Are you running on Linux or some other OS? The id command
varies considerably amongst OSes.

Re: qmail-ifc-len-patch (ipme.c)

[Jos Backus]

This was a kernel bug indeed. The following commit fixes it; no patches to the
qmail port are needed.

guido   2000/02/28 11:30:27 PST

  Modified files:
sys/net  if.c
  Log:
  This fixes a problem where the SIOCGIFCONF ioctl goes wrong.  This
  is triggered when qmail is used with INET6 enabled.  The bug
  manifests itself in that the space variable can become negative
  and that in the comparison in the guards of the 2 loops, this was
  not noticed because sizeof() returns an unsigned and thus the signed
  variable gets promoted to unsigned. I decided not to make space
  unsigned because I think we should guard against this from happening.
  Thus panic() in case space becomes negative.

Looks like international shipping would be:

   4-6 weeks (USPS Surface)  $3  plus $2 per item.
   7-10 days (USPS Air)  $6  plus $3 per item.
   3 days(USPS Express)  $25 plus $3 per item.

Unless you want a black shirt, then I'd have to figure out what
shipping would be on an individual basis.

I think that I like it. But the dolphin would be nicer, IMVHO,
and more consistent also with sendmail's bat (if there aren't
any legal problems with that, as mentioned in other messages).

BTW, I'd vote for the front/back design (here where I live is
hot and I usually don't wear anything over t-shirts).

The online service I will use accepts credit cards (via SSL or
telephone) so foreigners shouldn't have any problems.

If you measure your chest with a tape measure (under your arms,
around the widest part)  I think the conventional sizes are as
follows:

   Size Inches
   Small34-36
   Medium   38-40
   Large42-44
   XLarge   46-48
   XXLarge  50-52
   XXXLarge 54-56

Most people like to wear tshirts loose and so choose the next larger
size.

I'd personally like something showing the package manager...

'pkg_mgr --remove-pkg sendmail'

chmod 0 while quick to be recognized by unix admins doesn't represent the
finality that --remove-pkg imparts.

(I'm a linux background, so I'm trying not to suggest rpm or dpkg, and I don't
know what other unices use for pkg management... adjust as necessary).

I'll let everyone know when orders will be possible and the URL for
ordering.

> Is there to be a choice of colour and front/back logos?

I will take one or two other slogans and make them available with
either logo.  The shirt color choices will only be ash (gray),
white, and natural (tan).  Of the three choices, I like the natural
best.  You will make the choices at the time of ordering.

I had planned on making two varieties of each slogan.  One with the
Q-arrows logo (small, on the left front) and the slogan and Q-arrows
logo on the back (big).  The second variation would be the same with
the dolphin logo substituted.  Should I be bothered with making a
variation with different logos on the front versus the back?

Cheers,
Vern

Path

[Lee Trotter]

Ok new qmail/linux user here so please for my lack of 
knowledge here, and you'll probley be hearing lots more from me.
 
After installing qmail, the /sbin directoy was removed 
from the path or I suspect the path is acutally being over written.  This 
only occures when I logon though telnet, if I logon though the console it's 
fine.  Here is the path from a telnet login.
 
bash: 
/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/lee/bin: No such file or 
directory
 
Also quick question what does the No such file or directory 
mean?  I found that happens if I have more then 1 directory in the 
path.
 
Thanks for any help.

In short Qmail is completely modular.  The checkpassword you choose is entirely
dependent on which method of authentication you wish to use:
/etc/password
plaintext password file (other than /etc/passwd)
LDAP
cdb password file
Mysql Database
Radius
etc
etc

In setting up "qmail-pop3d" you need to understand that qmail-pop3d provides
nothing more than the POP3 functions to operate on a users Maildir - it does
not collect useranem/password or arrange the authentication of the user.

Qmail operates as a sequence of programs doing their thing then running the
next program in the chain, e.g.  you could setup the following scenario:
Using Daemontools, and the UCSPI packages you may wish to launch the
qmail-pop* system from tcpserver (which listens on port 110), further you
may wish to run tcpserver under a supervisory process, so the execution
"string" would be something like:

echo "Starting POP3 daemon."
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -p -lmail.mydom.net -t2 -u 888 -g 888 0 110 \
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup mail.mydom.net \
/var/qmail/bin/checkpoppasswd \
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 2>&1 | \
/var/qmail/bin/splogger pop3d &

The only real variable in this is getting your checkpasswd/checkpoppasswd
functioning  - advice on testing your checkpasswd is available on www.qmail.org

can't stop qmail (supervise-scripts)

[Smoerk]

Hello,

I installed Bruce Guenter's qmail rpm. I have two problems:

1. I cannot stop qmail or qmail-smtpd. The init.d script says it's
already down and if I try to kill it, it's restarted (by supervise)?
Did I install something wrong or do you know how I could stop it?

2. qmail-smtpd does not care about /etc/tcprules/smtp.cdb. I cannot
send mails localy via smtp, because the smtp does not relay. I put
127.0.0.1:allow, RELAYCLIENT=""
in smtp.rules and make a new smtp.cdb with tcprules, but it doesn't
help. Is there anything I have to configure, before smtp.cdb is used?

Take the space out of there.

POP3 Slowdown solved (I think)

[Jose de Leon]

I soved the problem I was having earlier with POP3 authentication going very
slow (30 secs to more than minute) or sometimes timing out.

Server reboot.  Not just a stop and start of the qmail-pop3 or tcpserver
daemon.  Just a plain cold restart.

Probably a memory leak somewhere.

Personally, I wouldn't mix logos -- I like the styles you've listed.  I do have
one suggestion, though.  I would prefer to pay a little more and get a really
high quality, heavy t-shirt.  I can't stand light weight, flimsy,
see-thru t-shirts.

Thanks for all your work on putting this together.

I agree.  The basic shirt is a Haynes Beefy-T, Heavyweight. 
The sweatshirt option is a Jerzees 50/50 7.5 oz fleece.
The sweatshirt costs about $5 more.

If you want a more heavyweight tshirt, you could get a Henley (tshirt
with three buttons) which is made by Cotton Deluxe and is a nice 7
ounces.  But the Henley costs about $10 more.

Cheers,
Vern

The dolphin would be great, especially if you could contrast it with a
forlorn-looking bat...*grin* Maybe:

"Don't queue mail with Sendmail..." 

   "Send mail with QMail!"

or some such. But then again, I have no taste, so take this with a grain
of salt.

I'll also second the request for higher-quality material. Heavy-weight
shirt or sweatshirt is definitely what I'd prefer, personally...

How to impliment qmail-pop3d?

[Eric Lalonde]

In Paul Gregg's "Single-UID based pop3 box HOWTO" He says:
When using Qmail with Maildir format, you will need to use qmail-popup ->
checkpasswd -> qmail-pop3d.

I'm not sure how to impliment this in my startup scripts. I am using his
'checkpoppasswd'. Its located in /var/qmail/users. my passwd file is
/var/qmail/users/poppasswd.
How do I set up this scheme?

You probably don't run plain vanilla qmail. You are probably using a patched
version of qmail that validates whether the senders domain is valid in DNS or
not. Alternatively, you run some spam-check delivery plug-in for the user
that handles mail for the address above. Either such a spam check or a
patched qmail is doing the bouncing.

Read instructions to the patch/spamchecker and correct behavior.

You must also set QMAILSUSER=my_isp_username and
QMAILSHOST=my_isp_domain to set your envelope sender correctly.
