qmail lspawn hassels??
Hi ALL, I have the qmail-mysql (Iain Pattersen patch) running and I get the following errors: 960186398.488070 delivery 40431: deferral: Temporary_failure_in_qmail-lspawn./ I get them every minute or so - the local queue has grown considerably since - ... Can anyone please shed some light as to why qmail-lspawn would fail?? Many thanks Tonino
Sorry, no mailbox ...
Ups, another problem... forgot about it before... I have a few virtual domain on my system, and now I want to use the mail address [EMAIL PROTECTED] (the same address on different domains)... There was no way to do this, so I somehow tracked it to the fact, that I had a alias for info in the primary domain on the system (/var/qmail/alias/.qmail-info). I tried to remove this alias, but the addresses (info@*) still do not exist? Any ideas? Goran Friends are those who, when you must inconvenience them, are less bothered by it than you.
qmail+maildrop+amavis
Hi, Two questions. Seems my ~/.qmail never gets executed by Qmail, so I am not able to have a functional maildrop or procmail. BTW, is ~/.qmail a script that gets executed by QMail or is it a file that is read by it to know how to perform to specific users. Also I can't seem to get any info on getting amavis working with Qmail.

Problems with tcpserver
Hi all, I've got some problems with my tcpserver. It is configured to relay for some ip-adresses and block all others. I use the latest version of ucspi and I installed it as described. For most of the ip-adresses, tcpserver works fine, but in some cases, it allows relaying (with setting RELAYCLIENT="" !!!) for ip-adresses which should be blocked. My config file looks like this: 123.123.123.123:allow, RELAYCLIENT="" 123.123.123.:allow,RELAYCLIENT="" 123.123.123.123-125:allow, RELAYCLIENT="" :deny I posted this some time ago with the log entries, but I did not recieve any answer/hint. Didn't anyone discover this problem with his installation?? Regards, Holger

Re: Does someone knows what is this about?
- ORBS blocks "unfriendly" sites criticising ORBS Is there a site with documentation on this? I'd like to check it out for myself. There is a bit more to it then that. Some people who disagree with how the ORBS is run block their relay tests. The ORBS considers this grounds for being listed as a potential relay since they can't test the site if their test messages are blocked. The theory is, that they are worried about sites blocking them, and not being able to list open relays for those sites. I don't think this is really a good policy. The downside of the extra coverage isn't worth the trouble. What they might lose, is the ability to list some two-stage relays like demon. And blocking of two stage relays is one of the problems people have with them. They do give the output of two stage relays a few days to fix or block the input site, so it isn't as big of a deal as it was.

Hello! I'm evaluating qmail performance (qmail with vpopmail, one domain, 1 users) and I've found that under 20 clients queue grows VERY fast. Each client retreives all mail from given account, and than send some mails to it. In 3 minutes qmail running on fairly powerful box gives: messages in queue: 392 messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 282 while exim doesn't seems to have this problem. I didn't do anything special with setup. Maybe I should reconfigure something? Alex. PGP signature

In what sense does ORBS think the described behavior of qmail is insecure? What problem do they refer to, anyways? It certainly is annoying to get these messages from ORBS whenever someone wants to check my box out via ORBS. Mate

As the mail admin for a sire that is in ORBS because my address provider blocks them, I can speak to this a little bit. It makes perfect sense, from a certain point of view. The ORBS guys want to list relays. The run across an address block that has a number of open relays, and the adminitrators of that block aren't responsive to requests to arrange to have them closed. ORBS then lists those particular addresses (their purpose in life.) In response the provider blocks the ORBS machines. The ORBS guys can no longer test for relays, and especially given what they had found before and the provider's lack of response, they can only assume there are any number of open relays in the address block. Were they to do otherwise, they'd be fail-open instead of fail-closed. Ryan
Re: Does someone knows what is this about?
Forget about ORBS. Anyone using/caring about ORBS should reconsider his decision: Before giving "judgement" over ORBS, please understand what they are doing and the possible effects (both good and bad) for "you" as a mail admin. - ORBS blocks "unfriendly" sites criticising ORBS You should read the ORBS site more carefully, when it comes their listing policies. You should also take care when stating that "ORBS blocks" this and that, since ORBS only lists servers which come under their criteria. The reason most discussed are their policy to list servers where admins ask or demand ORBS to not test anymore, this causes ORBS to list these IP addresse as something like "admin refused to be tested by ORBS". What a mail admin chooses to do with is ORBS information is up to him, and he may ignore some or all listings ORBS give out for "admin refused". - ORBS does not notify blocked sites about the blockage This is not my personal experience nor their written rule, as they send E-Mail to either postmaster @ RDNS or IP. Where you have this information from is beyond me, but if you know of any ORBS listed server(s) that hasn't received any notification please tell us. - ORBS has IMHO too much false positives I've yet to see a single false positive, not that this means they don't exist. I have however seen some of their nameservers being "outdated", causing recently secured server to show up as Open Relays. The ongoing "discussion" about ORBS attitude or Alan's personality, doesn't seem to come from people who know what ORBS is or does. Still they rant about ORBS and it's errors and lack of Internet ethics, while failing to give any facts or prove any of their statements. My personal opinion is that Open Relay server is the number one mail-problem on the Internet today, some might say SPAM is but SPAMMERS aren't causing a fraction of the possible havoc Open Relay servers COULD create. If you don't believe me it's quite simple math to solve the possibility riddle, just imagine someone wanting to "knock out" AOL's mailsevers for a few weeks... There is about 100'000 Open Relay outputs, getting mail from 150'000 Open Relay inputs: --- If anyone sent 1 E-Mail containing 1'000'000 random addresses in the "To:" field and repeating this with all of the 150'000 inputs as their SMTP relay server, it would generate 150'000'000'000 E-Mails sized 9MB - 16MB with sender "?@aol.com" that would BOUNCE to and from the AOL servers and various Open Relay outputs. Total havoc of upto 3'000'000'000'000'000'000 bytes sent to/from AOL servers and network, but "only" took you 1'500'000'000'000 bytes to send (or 135 days at 1Mbps :-) Regards André Paulsberg

And to answer your second question: yes, those are 2 of the services he provide. However, any admin is free to use none, either or both of these services. If you want documented open relays blocked but don't care about sites that block ORBS themselves, you are free to do so. Check http://www.orbs.org/usingindex.html for slightly more info.

It is up to systems administrators to decide for themselves what to block and what not. I question the ethics of any admin blocking ORBS.

Re: qmail questions
Hi, second, i have set up control/virtualdomains without any problems using the good faq. but, i haven't found anything about forwarding emails. let's assume i have set up test-domain.com:testuser in the virtual domain control file. now, any incoming mail is delivered to the local user "testuser". ok, but how to forward i.e. any incoming emails to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" to i.e. borther-of- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ??

Re: How to get QMQP to work
Johan Almqvist: How can I get qmail to use QMTP between two boxes that there is a lot of traffic between? I tried putting the respective IP adresses in /var/qmail/control/qmqpservers, but that didn't do it. how about this: you setup qmail-qmtpd on both machines to serve on a tcp- port reserved for this purpose, while keeping qmail-smtpd on 25. -- clemens
[newcomer] Problems installing Qmail+VMailMgr+Courier-Imap
hello, I've come across HOWO recently added to the linux HOWTO's, written by Dan Kuykendall, titled "Qmail VMailMgr and Courier-ImapHOWTO". This HOWTO guided me though the prep/compile/install for - ucspi-tcp - daemontools - supervise-scripts - qmail - vmailmgr - courier-imap and a few config changes, like add a user and add a virtualhosts file to add users to a test domain virtualhost. Ah, of course, I did remove sendmail and friends before starting. And then restarted. [ a little background on the machine: it's an old RH5.1 upgraded to RH.6.1, running named (from CD rpms), Samba (built from src) and MySQL (from SRPMs) and Apache+mod_perl (built from src). I do have lots of Perl modules, but don't think it matters. ] Well, now nothing's running as it should. It's an internal test server, so I don't really mind that syslog is taking 50% of cpu time. :) But I guess that signals that something's running wrong, don't you? Now, the symptoms I could gather: - syslogd taking 50% processor time - command line utilities like mail / sendmail are there and seem to work, but `mail root` or `sendmail root` and then typing `mail` to see my own msg did not work. Maybe I'm expecting something to work that won't ever work when virtualizing email accounts? - tried to connect to the imap server from the very same box, with NN4.x under GNOME and got an eternal wait. - tried to connect to the pop server from the very same box, with NN4.x under GNOME and got an eternal wait. As you can read, I'm quite new to this software, and I'm looking for clues to follow. Could someone point me in the right direction? The aim of all this is to get qmail to work, and then virtual domain accounts to work also over imap. Then. with the aid of an opensource imap webmail interface, I'll be out with Pinky and The Brain to conquer the world :) Thanks! martin -- -- To understand recursion, one must first understand recursion. -- -- - Martin Langhoff @ S C I M Multimedia Technology - - http://www.scim.net | God is real until - - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | declared integer -

The ORBS guys can no longer test for relays, and especially given what they had found before and the provider's lack of response, they can only assume there are any number of open relays in the address block. Were they to do otherwise, they'd be fail-open instead of fail-closed. Except that sites that block probes rather than fix open relays really belong in a different kind of list. I think the ORBS would be better off just listing confirmed open relays. If they would do this, a lot more people would use them. I think that in general groups that maintain lists for others to use as block lists should remain very focused and let the mail admins pick and choose which lists make sense to use for their sites. When different functions are lumped together, admins may have to not use a list, even if it lists sites that have some problem they are willing to block on, but also lists some sites that have a different problem that they don't want to block on.

system rebooted, sendmail took over, how do I send those messages now
Our sun OS 2.7 mail server had a system panic on Friday and it rebooted. I hadn't configured the boot scripts yet and our other sysadmin didn't call me (I was on vacation). This morning I saw that qmail hadn't started and sendmail (which had never been configured to work) had queued all the messages since friday. I fixed qmail and rebooted to make sure that my boot scripts now worked. Now qmail is working fine but I have over 1000 messages in my sendmail queue. I tried sendmail.bak -q and it ran and tried to send messages but they all show up queued. Any ideas? We are running behind a firewall and not using DNS behind the firewall I am using a hardcoded IP address smtproute to forward everything to our mail server in the DMZ. First question, can I run sendmail.bak (that was copied from the original /usr/lib/sendmail that was then linked as follows: #ln -s /var/qmail/bin/sendmail /usr/lib/sendmail ? Are my messages queuing because sendmail has never worked properly? sendmail.cf is a copy of subsidiary.cf and mailhost in /etc/hosts points to the system that is my snmproute for all traffic for qmail. I have hosts then dns in my nsswitch.conf file (I know that qmail doesn't read this but sendmail should). Next question, is there another way I can send this mail without getting sendmail to work?
