Re: qmail inserting from: anonymous
Nope, nothing sinister, just no real FROM header, so qmail inserts it's own.

I had to do something similar at my office. Using your example, I configured email01 to forward all mail to it's smarthost: email02. i did this by using the smarthost file in the controls/ dir on email01. both machines were led to believe they were both hostX (locals, me, rcpthosts). however, only email02 would have the maildrops. hope this helps.

Configuration question behind a firewall
I am a qmail newbie. I have qmail installed and working in our dmz behind one Cisco pix. Our network design requires that I forward all the mail currently coming into my dmz back to our inside secure network to host email02 behind another pix. I have tried to set this up and am my mail appears to be going in a loop. My intention was for email01 in the dmz to receive all mail and send it back to email02 for storage. the MX record on the internet points to email01. There is no record on the internet for email02. I was trying to do this with smtproutes. So email01 has mydomain.com in its rcpthosts but nots its locals and an smtproute file with mydomain.com:[ip_of_email02]. Then email02 had just one line in its smtproute file of :[ip_of_email01]. I Tried putting mydomain.com back in the locals on email01 and using a .qmail-default file to forward everything back to the IP address of email02. [email01]# more .qmail-default | forward "$LOCAL@[10.2.10.6]" I didn't get mail in either of the above cases. My first question is conceptual. Am I going about this in the correct manner or is there a better way? I will need to have email02 forward outbound mail because I don't have internet DNS resolution in my secure network. What do you think the best configuration is given that I will probably not be able to get DNS resolution back to my secure network and I will only have my email01 host in the DMZ advertizing as an DNS MX record on the internet. My disk storage for email messages is all in the secure network so I need to store the messages back there. Thanks for any help on this.

vpopmail mysql problem - help
I am trying to setup vpopmail with mysql support. I have followed the instructions in README.mysql I can add an user through qmailadmin but the user info is getting written into vpasswd file and not into mysql table. I get vsql_getw error - failed connect message when i try to add an user from the command prompt and the same message when i send an email to the new user. (it bounces back) I also get no table vpopmail.vpopmail error. there is no table in vpopmail database, eventhough i get converting done message when i convert using vconvert. What is the problem here ? Why vpopmail is not creating the necessary table ? If i can make vpopmail to create a table then the problem is solved. Should i configure qmail also to use mysql ?

Does anybody know of a good antivirus package I can put on my RedHat 6.1, Qmail 1.03 server that may possibly be able to scan incoming messages for viruses?

It is disabled by default. The "delivery" you are seeing is (basically) merely a formality.

qmailanalog - matchup
Hi,
I've (finally) started using qmailanalog, but when i try to pass a specific maillog
through matchup i get the following error :
matchup: fatal: unable to write to fd 5: file descriptor not open
I'm using a script to pass maillog & maillog.1 thu 7 to matchup.
2 of the logs generate this error :-(
I've attached the script, just in case.
I know it's not great programming, it's more 'brute force', but i'm a newbie to unix
and haven't gotten the hang of scripting yet :-(
Thanks,
Steffan

If you installed it as a package svscan might be somewhere else, or, as in you case, not there at all due to an old version. DJB has made it easy to grab the latest version and follow some very simple installation instructions.
