550 User not local
I'm trying to use a box (armagh.my.net) as qmail server. Everything except sending mail to my IP works fine. As per the manual I have set up for a ppp connection and mail to remote addresses does in fact end up in the alias/pppdir/new directory. However when I try to do: /usr/local/bin/maildirsmtp ~alias/pppdir alias-ppp- 208.156.39.203 'armagh' I get the following (example) message bounced to me: (full message and config at the bottom of this page) === Hi. This is the maildirbounce program at armagh.my.net. I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following address. This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out. [EMAIL PROTECTED]: 208.156.39.203 said: 550 User not local I know that relaying problems are well discussed and I have read and tried to understand the FAQ, the howtos, 'Life with...' and the archives, so try to be patient with a newbie. I have at least got this far without bothering the list;) Is the 550 message coming from the IPs mailhost and then being passed to me by my qmail system, or is it originating locally (ie on my qmail system)? If it's the IPs mailhost that is rejecting me, in what way does it differentiate between this messages and a similar message being sent from windows+outlook+modem (ie without qmail at all)? Can I fake qmail-remote messages to look similar to windows-remote messages (and thus not get rejected)?

Where is the exact place to put this command ? I'm afraid all what I tried failed - qmail doesn't start when the system is going up. Thanks. Hi, Have a look in /etc/rc.d/init.d/. Here is where all your startup scripts are housed. In that directory you must create a script (with the correct permissions etc) called qmail or something to that effect. Clue : Have a look at some other scripts there to get an idea. I used ssh and changed it to start qmail. Once you have created the file enter the following: chkconfig --add qmail chkconfig --level qmail 5 on chkconfig --level qmail 3 on If the script is setup correcetly you should be able to enter the following : /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail start (which will start qmail) /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail stop (which will stop qmail) If you are still struggling then mail me back. I'll send you a copy of my start script and also give you more detailed instructions on how to enter the script in its different run levels.

Databytes Problem
Hi all, I'm having a few problems with that databytes file. I have set the databytes to 1.8meg (180). I send a file of 1.2meg and I receive that no problem. Then I senda file of 2 meg and it gives the error of databytes exceeded which is fine. The problem lies when I send another 1.2 meg file it shows the error of databytes exceeded. If the setting is 1.8 meg, why does it give that error ? Any clues ? Thanks Mark
Not passing virtual domains to a user
I have this setup on my experimental mailserver: I add a user for every virtual domain, their userdir beeing /var/qmail/users/domain-name Then if i want to add a user to that domain i do like this to avoid local conflicts in /var/qmail/users/host.com: .qmail-user - contains "user1234" then the user for that domain has it's home in /var/qmail/users/host.com/user1234 So what happens is that when you mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] it bounces to user1234 (local) that is guaranteed to be unique. It has worked fine up til now. Now i have one vdomain called genline.nu and a test address to that that is [EMAIL PROTECTED] this works fine. Now i added skywalker.nu domain (to the user skywalker.nu) and then added user [EMAIL PROTECTED] and it fails!!! Both entries in /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains exists and for skywalker.nu it's "skywalker.nu:skywalker.nu". Why does not qmail transfer the control for *@skywalker.nu to the skywalker.nu user? The mails get caught in ~/alias/qmail-default Any ideas? /Magnus Naeslund

If the setting is 1.8 meg, why does it give that error ? Any clues ? Attachments takes "far" more space than the original file! So to get the correct databytes file you should add about 50 - 75% First 180 bytes is 1.71 MB since 1 MB is 1048576 bytes, then encoding using MIME BASE 64 uses 4bytes to represent every every set of 3bytes which adds 33% to the file itself + headers.

Re: Databytes Problem
Ok, I thought it had someting to do with that. But my question still remains, If my setting for databytes is 180 How come I could send file "x" (1.2 meg) and it was received. Then send file "z" which didn't work (2.2meg) which is correct. Then send file "x" (1.2 meg) again and not work ? Mark

Re: Databytes Problem
Yes I can reproduce the problem. In fact I have just tried it again. So lets do it again, ;-) If I send the smaller file (1.2 megs) then its fine. If I send the large file (2 meg ) then it shows as an on screen error "databytes exceeded" which is correct. Then I send the smaller file again (1.2 meg) and it shows the same error. Then I sent a blank email ( this I hadnt tried before ), surprise suprise it gives an error. Perhaps this has to do with Kmail. I think that if it cant get through it keeps the message in memory or something, thus when one tries to send another message it tries to send the large file attachement ( 2 meg ) with it ... which would of course exceeds the databytes limit. What do you think ? Mark

According to Rick Myers: On May 20, 2000 at 22:41:37 -0400, Martin Gignac twiddled the keys to say: I looked in /var/qmail/queue/mess/ and found a message left lying around that looked like it was never going to be deleted by qmail-clean.

When I run qmail-qstat from the command line with an empty queue it reports 0 messages. When I run my little qmail-check script, either from cron or command line, and again with an empty queue, it always shows one message. The accompanying qmail-qread results do not show any messages though. I too am confused about the disparity between qmail-qstat and qmail-qread results.

Re: qmail-local
Hi! I have now another solution, that is better, I think: There are two hosts, einstein and raman, serving the users home on both side of the WaveLAN. einstein is the main MX, raman the MX for the other side. ramanuser is a user behind the WaveLAN. On einstein the files ~alias/.qmail-ramanuser and ~alias/.qmail-ramanuser-default exist and contain "|/usr/bin/forward $[EMAIL PROTECTED]" The homedir of ramanuser is NFS-mounted on einstein from raman. The information is deployed via NIS. Under normal conditions einstein retrieves all mail and delivers them to the users homedir, for some user via NFS. Now if the NFS is not accessible because of an WaveLAN-outage, the ~alias/.qmail-ramanuser* files are used and the mail should be forwarded to raman via SMTP. And because raman is not reachable, the mail gets queued, generated by a temporary failure. Without that qmail-local would generate a permanent failure, resulting in a bounce message. The setup on raman is similar, it provides local mail delivery on the other side of the WaveLAN. Any comments? Greetings -- Robert Sander www.gurubert.de

Firstly, I should say that my mail client is not broken. :) But since this topic has come up, I took a few minutes to test a Web mail application I sometimes use and have found that it does indeed think that such a signature is a "binary attachment." Where can I learn about the specifics of this problem? You mention that this will not happen with a "compliant mail reader," are you referring to a MIME spec? Is there an RFC I can read which will give me a clue as to how best to track down and report the flaw in that Web app? "Broken" might be overstating things. The clue is that there is *no* RFC that says that a mail program should see that as an attachment. It's an example of software authors creating risks by trying to do things automagically that probably shouldn't be done. How about instead of saying that your client is broken, we say it's doing something stupid and unnecessary. I guess that's not the same thing.

OT Answer: imap + ssl -- stunnel is the answer
Julien, If you are using stunnel try the stunnel users list http://www.onsight.com/faq/stunnel/stunnel-faq-9.html But one quick thing you can do is stunnel -D 7 -f -d 993 -r localhost:143 (for IMAP). The ``-D 7'' puts stunnel into debug mode and the ``-f'' keeps it in foreground mode, so it will log directly to your current terminal. Stunnel has very good error messages. Check several things. Permissions on the certificate. That there's a daemon listening on 127.0.0.1:143 (localhost:143) Best of luck, -Martin On Thu, 25 May 2000, Christian Wiese wrote: :Hi Julien, : :I would suggest that the problem is not at the qmail-imap site, but :rather on the client (Outlook) site. :I don't know much about Outlook and I don't like it, but I think Outlook :can't handle SSL connections. :Please try to find some informations about Outlook and it's :possibilities regarding SSL connections to IMAP servers. : :greetings : :christian : :Julien Marguet schrieb: : : Hi all : I try to install ssl on a mail-server that I just have : installed for an hospital : : I use qmail 1.03, and imap (courier-imap 0.32 from : inter7.com). : : I use this link to install ssl: : http://security.fi.infn.it/tools/stunnel/index-en.html : but it doesn't work. : : when I use the script imap.rc from courier-imap the : connection with an (Outlook) client= OK.

OT: SSL wrapper scripts, stunnel and description
Hello all,
I have seen some questions over the last week about adding SSL (secure
sockets layer) support to standard plaintext services. This is something
for which the package stunnel is perfect.
If you are interested in offering SSL services for your currently
plaintext daemons, you can use stunnel independently of the plaintext
service to provide SSL service.
For further information on the package, check out the stunnel page:
http://mike.daewoo.com.pl/computer/stunnel/
The beauty of stunnel (IMHO) is that you can run it in client or server
mode, and it can listen on one IP and forward to another (local or
remote). (You can also listen on INADDR_ANY, or INADDR_LOOPBACKD.)
I hope the die-hard list readers will forgive that I have attached two
scripts I wrote to work as a drop in service startup script for as many
wrappers as you'd like. My script assumes that you are running tcpserver,
and (unfortunately) assumes the old-style supervise (daemontools 0.53).
(If we ever migrate to the newer model, I'll rewrite these scripts a bit.)
One last kicker, and that is that stunnel can run in "transparent
proxying" mode which allows you to use it for SMTPS (port 465) without
changing your tcprules for your SMTP service. All you need is to have
transparent proxying support in your kernel.
One could certainly run stunnel in ``-d'' mode without tcpserver, but I'm
so accustomed to runinng things under tcpserver (I like the process model)
that I have included it in the script.
I hope it proves useful to somebody besides me,
-Martin

No SMTP after installing qmail
Hi. I think my earlier email on this was lost so here it is: I've installed qmail and followed all the INSTALL.blah (including removing sendmail - but I only renamed it just in case) and my problem now is although I can send, when I fetchmail it complains that I don't have an SMTP to forward my mails to me. I've tried to use procmail in ~/.procmailrc (| exec /usr/bin/procmail) with the same results. I've used the ~alias/boot/proc for ~/alias/rc also. What could be wrong?
