delete messages in queue

2000-04-20 Thread Madhav

hi
1. is there any way by which i can delete a particular mail from queue. for
instance

#[root@server1 msk]# /var/qmail/bin/qmail-qread
19 Apr 2000 07:16:27 GMT  #45086  677  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
remote  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
18 Apr 2000 10:39:22 GMT  #45070  1236  
remote  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
18 Apr 2000 10:54:46 GMT  #45076  227  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
remote  [EMAIL PROTECTED]

here if i want to delete the mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] , one way is to
manually delete it from the /var/qmail/queue/mess/ is there any other
way to do it?

2. if a message cannot be delivered, it is kept in the queue and tried at
periodic intervals for 7 days  according to the appendix e.1 of life with
qmail. Can this time of 7 days be reduced to 4 days???

thanks

You will, of course, have problems.  

The qmail queue is designed to be exclusively owned by a single system.

Try searching the list on this exact topic.

Maildir's are desgned to work over NFS.  Tough to get good write
performance over NFS, but it should work.

forwarding question

2000-04-20 Thread Juan E Suris


Hi All,

This is more of a mail question than qmail.

I have customers who just want forwarding of their incomming mail to a
remote address. There is no local storage. In the event of a bounce (one of
my customer mispells the address, or the remote server goes down a while),
am I responsible for that message, or can I just pass the bounce along to
the original sender?

Thanks,
JES

qmail cannot share its mail queue in any manner.  Your system will NOT
work using qmail.  This is covered in several threads in the list
archives.

 hi,
 i already have my setup (with router) running for http, ftp and telnet

 This setup actually provides protection from any failure.
 
  You may be able to share maildirs, but I'm not sure what you gain by
  sharing one installation between two servers. If the server with your
  binaries crashes both servers go down. In your place I would probably just
 
 i use a distributed file system (coda) for storing these qmail binaries and
 queues so even if the mach1 crashes mach2 can be still acess it without any
 problems.
 
 my concern is if qmail-send is running on both mach1 and mach2 at the same
 time, trying to send the mails in the queue will i be having any problems?

RE: Cannot send e-mail to the domain

2000-04-20 Thread Greg Owen

 But I tried to telnet to the server using smtp port and it does
 not work but seems like after DNS translation it points to the
 wrong IP address. Possibly MX record problem?

If 'nslookup exchange-server-name' comes up with a different IP
address than that of your exchange-server, then DNS is incorrect.

If the MX record for domain.com points to exchange-server-name and
you're trying 'telnet domain.com 25', then you're testing incorrectly.
Telnet to exchange-server-name 25 instead.

If the MX record for domain.com points to something other than
exchange-server-name, then your MX record is pointing to the wrong place (or
perhaps the right place, but not Exchange).  This still shouldn't affect
your telnet testing.

If you telnet to the ip address of the exchange-server ('telnet
192.168.3.4 25') and you still get connection refused, then you don't have
exchange configured to accept SMTP, or you have a firewall/network issue
somewhere in between the two hosts.

It seems pretty likely, from what you've said, that qmail isn't the
problem, but that something is funky with your network or DNS.

Re: qmail + Redhat6.2 + emacs rmail - outgoing messages

2000-04-20 Thread Bob Rogers

   From: Erich [EMAIL PROTECTED]
   Date: Wed, 19 Apr 2000 21:17:52 -0700 (PDT)

I assume you mean your return address?  What is the value of the
user-mail-address emacs variable? . . .

   Well, that did the trick.  However, that line shouldn't be necessary.
   I still feel that if emacs is using the system MTA, which as you point
   out is sendmail, which is actually a link to qmail/bin/sendmail, then
   sendmail should do the right things to put in the correct From: and
   Return-Path: lines.

Well, to my mind, the "right thing" is to leave them alone, since I want
to set them in emacs; a user's preferred "From:" address often has
nothing to do with her user ID or the name of the local host.  In fact,
at the point where the sendmail-send-it function actually calls
sendmail, there is this comment:

;; Always specify who from,
;; since some systems have broken sendmails.
;; unless user has said no. 

So, by default, emacs sets up the "From:" header and envelope sender,
and tells sendmail to leave them alone.

   But the "unless user has said no" part reflects a hook:  If you put
in your .emacs file

(setq message-from-style 'system-default)

then sendmail-send-it will give sendmail free rein.  So the usual
qmail-inject environment variables should work (though I haven't tried
this).

   I haven't customized emacs at all.

Then you don't know what you're missing.  ;-}

   This work-around is fine, but I really think I'm missing some part of
   the configuration.

I don't consider this a workaround; this is an important step in
configuring emacs as your MUA.  The fact that emacs has a default that
works for some people, so the step is sometimes optional, doesn't change
the nature or the importance of the step.  After all, you have to tell
Netscape who you are (user name  email address) before Netscape will
let you send email.  You are taking the default behavior of sendmail as
gospel, and it just ain't so.

   There was a discussion on this list about a month ago about the
difference between "injection agents" and "transport agents", and what
they were allowed to do to headers.  In my opinion, the MUA should take
full responsibility for the headers, and transport/injection agents
should only supply defaults for the benefit of low-powered MUAs.  RFC822
appears to imply that this is the right thing.

   Also, there should be some kind of functioning executable in
   /bin/mail.  I just don't know what to put there on this system.

   Maybe I should have gotten Correl Linux, which comes with qmail
   instead of rotten old sendmail.

   e

That would have left you in the same boat, or worse, since this is
really an MUA configuration issue than an MTA configuration issue
(ignoring religious skirmishing over who's responsible for what).
Besides, somebody said Corel doesn't ship qmail configured anyway.

I can vouch that the Red Hat 6.0 /bin/mail uses sendmail.  Just do

Segmentation faults

2000-04-20 Thread Ian Shaughnessy

One of my users has been signed up to a number of mailing lists, and he is
now unable to access his Maildir/cur or Maildir/new directories.  I as
root can not touch them either.. ls reports a segmentation fault.  Du does
as well, and rm -rf also.  Basically this is a pretty big problem, as I
have no access to his directories with any standard binary tools.  my
question is, what the heck is happening here, and why would an extremely
large load of messages completely kill my binary tools?  I doubt he has
over a few thousand messages, which granted is alot, but I would assume
qmail is able to handle that.  Has qmail gone and written something funny
into the directory inode?  You have all of the information i can give

There you go, blaming qmail again! :)

In answer, the problem you describe is (as far as I know) unheard of with
qmail. And qmail does _nothing_ to directories except through the side
effects of open(), link(), unlink() and rename().

 You have all of the information i can give you...

Not quite: What OS, what filesystem, local or NFS? That's all I can think
of...now here's my speculation:

Did some tool create a file with a humongous name? On my Linux box,
all of the programs you mentioned catch the error "ENAMETOOLONG" and
exit with an intelligible message. Are you using NFS? Are two systems
disagreeing about what ``too long'' is?

The number of files should not be a problem--at least not to ls, which
you indicated segfaults.

This doesn't really sound like a qmail problem at all.  It sounds more 
like you have run out of space on your root partition (which is 
commonly where /home is left).  This is a bad thing because when you 
run out of space there, things can get funky.  However, if ls and a few 
other binarys are segfaulting then maybe you should consider the fact 
that you may have been hacked.  At any rate, see if you can run df and

 Bad answer.
 
 The correct answer is a question.
 
 And that question is "what do the logs say?"

It was a very bad answer. But the question I'd ask is, "What does the pop3 line
in inetd.conf look like?"

   find /var/qmail/queue/info
   lookup for queue no.s in ur case it should be 45086 45070 45076
  
   type
   touch -t 01012000 /var/qmail/queue/#/45086
   this will set your queue file time to jan 1 2000.
   the message will be bounced to the
   sender on the next queue.

hi
1. is there any way by which i can delete a particular mail from
queue.
  for
instance
   
#[root@server1 msk]# /var/qmail/bin/qmail-qread
19 Apr 2000 07:16:27 GMT  #45086  677  [EMAIL PROTECTED]

remote  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
   
here if i want to delete the mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] , one
way
  is to
manually delete it from the /var/qmail/queue/mess/ is there any
  other
way to do it?
  
   find /var/qmail/queue/info
   lookup for queue no.s in ur case it should be 45086 45070 45076
  
   type
   touch -t 01012000 /var/qmail/queue/#/45086
   this will set your queue file time to jan 1 2000.
   the message will be bounced to the
   sender on the next queue.
   
2. if a message cannot be delivered, it is kept in the queue and
tried
  at
periodic intervals for 7 days  according to the appendix e.1 of life
  with
qmail. Can this time of 7 days be reduced to 4 days???
   
thanks
   
  
   edit your /var/qmail/control/queuelifetime
   put 345600
   restart your qmail.
