Of course I realize that reading the manual, going through the steps of Life With Qmail or viewing the FAQs is the best first step.. but once one takes every step mentioned, and things STILL don't work, it's very hard to maintain calm as people *keep* suggesting that it's a good idea to read the manual. Just as those who have been around forever get upset with hearing the same questions over and over, new users who follow proper steps and STILL have problems also get tired of hearing about "reading the #$$% manual." For one example.. I have no idea as to why, when I sent a test message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] during one hour it was rejected multiple times, then trying again 4 hours later it goes through just fine.. when I changed *nothing* at all on my server. And one other soapbox spew.. When I receive a question such as "Are you sure you are talking to [your ip address here]?" and I answer "How would I know?".. this doesn't mean I haven't tested ping, or whois, or whereis etc.. because I have, it means that if there is some *other* way of knowing, please tell me now. Many of you have been quite helpful, and I appreciate every answer in reply because I know it takes time, your valuable time, to try and figure out a problem.. but it also takes time and determination to decide to weather out the problems for days in order to make one program work right. Both sides should be commended for effort. Whatever I learn on this list I will do what I can to give back to those who have questions, or run into the same problems I have had here. And even though I try to be thorough in my question posts, I guess I need to be more thorough still with every step I have tried.. because I only ask questions here AFTER I have tried every step I can find in either a FAQ or HOWTO. Again, thanks for all the help and please, some of you, try not to be so hard on those of us asking seemingly trivial questions when often (or at least in my case) hours have already been spent trying to figure out a problem before coming here to ask for help. James Hi James, Sad to say, this list's subscribership is just like many of the technical lists I participate in. There are many who maintain a level of empathy, exhibit patience and offer resolute advice... BUT ... there a some who are... uu not exhibiting those qualities. That kind of reception creates a restricted maillist where people who have legitimate needs hesitate to post publicly for fear of a public putdown. So lurkers are born, waiting in the wings, hoping that someone else will post their same problem and elicit a solution... or they spend valuable time searching through archives. Kind of sad, imo. Not that this will make it all better, but typically members the former group cringed when they see posts from the latter group that berate a newbie. I, for one, am glad you posted your comments and would encourage those who have needs to do exactly what you've done, research a solution, try it, ask for help, ignore the "non-helpful" folks. Guess we all have to chalk the nasty posts up to one or more of the following: 1) Having a generally bad day 2) Being constipated 3) Probable immaturity 4) Financial problems 5) Dog died 6) Other :) HTH, Nikki At 06:55 AM 05/13/2000 , you wrote: > >Of course I realize that reading the manual, going through the steps of >Life With Qmail or viewing the FAQs is the best first step.. but once one >takes every step mentioned, and things STILL don't work, it's very hard to >maintain calm as people *keep* suggesting that it's a good idea to read >the manual. > >Just as those who have been around forever get upset with hearing the same >questions over and over, new us

DNS configuration for virtual mail
I have a question about my DNS setup for a virtual domain on my server.. I think this may be a reason I cannot send mail to my virtual domain user. Here is my current configuration for one of my virtual domains: ___ @ IN SOA ponyexpressdelivery.com. james.vivid-eye.com. ( 25132 ; Serial 3H ; Refresh 1H ; Retry 1W ; expire 1H) ; Minimum ; NS ns ;Inet Address of name server ; localhost A 127.0.0.1 ns A 63.224.195.57 ns2 IN A63.224.195.60 ponyexpressdelivery.com IN MX 10 www.vivid-eye.com. ponyexpressdelivery.com.IN A 63.224.195.57 www CNAME ns ___ Is this set up correctly for server vivid-eye.com? In the MX section, should I have "mail.vivid-eye.com." or "mail.ponyexpressdelivery.com." or is it ok as it is? If this looks ok, then I will describe the steps I took using Life With Qmail and why I can't send mail to a virtual user. James
is content level blocking possible
Hi all, From the qmail server(on Linux machine) adminstrator point of view I have a question. All my end users are M$ windoze users. Let's say a mail with some virus prone attachment(which act on windoze) arrives through SMTP. Is there any package which scans the mail for all possible known virii(which act on M$ windoze) before the qmail-queue is invoked. Can anyone give me a good pointer or some info as to where I can get that kind of packages. I hope something like this is already existing. thanks in advance
Re: Disable telnet to port 110
You could: 1. Disable telnetd 2. Make the user's shell /usr/nologin or something (depends on your OS).

Thanks what does the possible duplicate mean?. It means that your end sent the entire message but never got the acknowledgement from the remote end that it was received. It's possible that it was received, but since the acknowledgement never came your end has no choice but to send it again.

BACKUP POP SERVER
Hi! Is there a way that I can back-up my pop server? I'm using qmail for my two servers (both have SMTP & POP3 service). No problem of having redundant SMTP servers but it seems that the MUA (clients) are polling on only 1 of the two servers. I'm using NIS/NFS to distribute information between the two, so their home directories are on a different LINUX machine and the accounts are based on a NIS master. Is there a work-around for this?

Virtual Domain User not receiving mail
I have finally been able to get Qmail to work with local users and receiving mail from outside my server. My next step is to try to get mail to my virtual domain users. I am using Mandrake 7.02. Here are the steps I have taken, but still cannot get mail to my virtual domain user: 1. I've created a user called "pony" whom I wish to have administrative control for "ponyexpressdelivery.com" 2. I have configured my virtualdomains file to look like this: @ponyexpressdelivery.com:pony 3. I've configured my locals file to include pony, and kevin, but not ponyexpressdelivery.com 4. I've configured my rcpthosts file to include the following: ponyexpressdelivery.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] 5. My DNS configuration for ponyexpressdelivery.com looks like this: @ IN SOA ponyexpressdelivery.com. james.vivid-eye.com. ( 25141 ; Serial 3H ; Refresh 1H ; Retry 1W ; expire 1H) ; Minimum ; NS ns ;Inet Address of name server ; localhost A 127.0.0.1 ns A 63.224.195.57 ns2 IN A63.224.195.60 ponyexpressdelivery.com.IN MX 10 www.vivid-eye.com. ponyexpressdelivery.com.IN A 63.224.195.57 www CNAME ns 6. I reboot my system. 7. At this point I imagine I have taken all the necessary steps to have mail delivered to [EMAIL PROTECTED] when someone sends an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I expect the email to actually be delivered looking like "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".. but I don't. When I send a test email from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] this is the error message I get in return: ___ Date: 15 May 2000 05:54:06 - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: failure notice Hi.
