Why messages not in maildir of users???
I use qmail with serialmail and fetchmail. I conect to my ISP with dial up.All messages for out are stored in "/var/qmail/alias/pppdir/" and that is OK.All mesages witch I receive (with fetchmail) are in "/var/qmail/qlias/pppdir/" too. And that is problem. Why this mesages not in maildir of my users??? Howqmail can dislocate this messages in maildir of my usersI use vpopmail.

Re: Why not inetd?
Peter van Dijk: Research shows that FreeBSD 4.0's inetd actually doesn't have these misfeatures anymore - it has a concurrency limit (yes, really!) and a max-connections-per-minute-per-remote-IP. starting with at most 2.8.8, it has. freebsd 2.8.8 is my religion. clemens

Re: thousands of qmail-queue processes hanging...

What has started to happen today is that receiving mail is slow, between

is its sending, which is about a message every 5 or 10 seconds. The other
noticable problem is that there are thousands of qmail-queue processes

Multiple domains
Hello. I've configured in my machine a few domains: example.com test.com What can I do if I want to have 2 different e-mail address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have the user "me", but those two different e-mail addresses goes to the same user, is there a way to make them go to different users? As the alias files don't make any difference (as far as I know) for users between domains... Thanks.

Re: Script Required
Hi
I picked up the small skript "checkattach" from Noel G. Mistula and
modified to do "Subject:" type filtering.
Do the following:
1. Install the script in /usr/local/bin.
2. chmod +x checksubj
3. Add this skript into your user's .qmail files and - if applicable - into
/var/qmail/alias/.qmail-default (first line:)
|/usr/local/bin/checksubj
~/Maildir/
etc.
4. Modify the subject text fields in "checksubj" to your needs, eg. add
"|*insurance*". The script evaluates the string case sensitive! It allows
wildcards, but be carefull!
5. The sender becomes the E-Mail bounced.
6. You can watch the results (and test the script) viewing your Maillog.

Can it be done 2 ...
I have some more question about this... So, the email gets to the internal servers but can the internal servers be sendmail servers or they must also be qmail servers and will the users be able to read their messages from the internet??? Thanks again Guillermo Villasana Cardoza wrote: Thanks a lot for all the help... I will try and see how it works :) Dave Sill wrote: Guillermo Villasana Cardoza [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have one Internet IP address .. which I use for my firewall behind the firewall I have several internal servers... The problem is that each server will be a different web and mail server... eg. mailserver1.domain.com mailserver2.domain.com ... etc Each mail server with it's own users... Can this be done? Sure. You'll need to: 1) list mailserver1.domain.com, mailserver2.domain.com, etc in control/rcpthosts, 2) add entries like: mailserver1.domain.com:[IP of mailserver1] to control/smtproutes, and 3) set up MX records for mailserver1, mailserver2, ... pointing to the firewall. -Dave

Meanwhile I was able to get it working.
However, I still am unable to make maildrop work with QMail.
I have installed maildrop-0.76b, I have
the following in ~/.qmail
./Maildir/
| /var/qmail/bin/preline /usr/local/bin/maildrop
and the folowing in ~/.mailfilter
DEFAULT="./Maildir/"
if ( /^(To|Cc|From|Reply-To): *@hotmail.com*/ )
{
to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
}
I think maildrop is being called correctly, because I had a permission
problem that appeared in the logs and now it stopped appearing.
However, with this configuration, I [EMAIL PROTECTED] never gets any
message coming to me from hotmail.com.
The pattern above doesn't match any valid address from hotmail.com.
"man maildropfilter" and read again what kind of regular expressions
maildrop supports.
Maybe there's something wrong with the "if", but I can't see it. Furthermore
I think that with this configuration some mails (the ones from hotmail.com)
get thrown back into the queue and come back to me several times.
Looks to me that they'll be delivered twice, once by the ./Maildir/
in .qmail, and once by maildrop's default.
Is there anybody able to shed some light.

RE: server load problem
I found out from top that mysqld is taking most of the cpu utilization. Now how to customize it? That's a better question for a MySQL list. The problem can fall into one of three categories: 1) MySQL itself has a bug which is being exercised and which needs fixing 2) Your company's code is inefficiently using MySQL and should be optimized 3) MySQL is fine, your code is fine, you just need more server for 24000 users You'll need to find a MySQL resource that can help you with those questions. This list isn't it. Server is hanging up and it won't respond to ctrl-alt-del I would definitely raise that on a MySQL list. I have never seen a server with MySQL hit that failure mode, but my MySQL server experience was with much smaller installations. There are probably MySQL diagnostics and logs which can help you figure out why things are getting that bad. -- gowen -- Greg Owen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
take II: another set of q's
Hello all, did this note go out earlier today? if so, I apologize for the repeat... Now that I have restored some order to my qmail system with the SIGHUP command (again THANKs to all who helped on that one...) I would like to know if it is possible to recover/deliver all the messages that are sitting in the bounced directory. Is there anyway of retrieving who tried to send to whom so I could do some sort of nice forwarded of those bounced emails to their intended recipients? also, in what directory will i find this mail-log file for the error messages that have accumulated - i'm sure that there are many during that 2 day period... finally, is anyone familiar with this error message -BTW is there a listing of all qmail error messages and their causes somewhere?

Duplicates
Many subscribers have been reporting duplicate messages in the last few days from a couple of qmail servers I manage that send out a daily newsletter with a few hundred thousand subscribers. Yet the logs only show one message delivered to any of those people. But usually several deferrals. I figure my timeoutremote was set too low (60), so that it got delivered even though qmail-remote thought it timed out. So I now put it up to 600. Does that make sense, or could there be other reasons for duplicates that don't show in the logs? The servers are generally rather busy, with 2-500 remote processes and a system load of 4-6, and I think the ISP was having some bandwidth problems in the last few days. - Flemming

The regular expression isn't right. It'll match only addresses that start with
zero or more spaces, followed by @hotmail.co followed by zero or more m's.
That's not what you want.

group email information
Hi All, Here is something I would like to know how to do: I have qmail 1.03, qmail-admin, vpopmail, and tcpserver installed in my system. I want to use a "group" email address so that when someone in my office sends a mail to say "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", all the techs receive this message, but not any other groups (my groups I would imagine would be techguys, management, sports, etc)...can this be done with qmail? -Bill

Subject: Re: Script Required
Hi
I picked up the small skript "checkattach" from Noel G. Mistula and
modified to do "Subject:" type filtering.
Do the following:
1. Install the script in /usr/local/bin.
2. chmod +x checksubj
3. Add this skript into your user's .qmail files and - if applicable - into
/var/qmail/alias/.qmail-default (first line:)
|/usr/local/bin/checksubj
~/Maildir/
etc.
4. Modify the subject text fields in "checksubj" to your needs, eg. add
"|*insurance*". The script evaluates the string case sensitive! It allows
wildcards, but be carefull!
5. The sender becomes the E-Mail bounced.
6. You can watch the results (and test the script) viewing your Maillog.
cheers.

I don't think you'll be able to. You can use smtproutes to override DNS and send a whole domain's mail somewhere else without changing the envelope, but I don't know of a way to do it with different addresses in the same domain. Why do you care if the envelope is changed? What you propose is trivial with .qmail files if you use forwarding, but the envelope recipient will change. Chris OK. Even if the envelope isn't changed I can't find a solution to this problem using .qmail files. If anyone can shed any light on this, it would be appreciated. I assume you mean "even if the envelope is changed." The example in your initial post was: I would like to send :- [EMAIL PROTECTED] to server [x.y.z] [EMAIL PROTECTED] to server [p.q.r] . and finally any aliases that do not match are forwarded onto another server [d.e.f] You might try this: # echo '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' ~alias/.qmail-bill # echo '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' ~alias/.qmail-ted # echo '| forward "$DEFAULT"@example3.dom' ~alias/.qmail-default This assumes that blah.com is a local domain. You'll need to make the appropriate adjustments if it's virtual (maybe use .qmail-blah-bill, .qmail-blah-ted, and .qmail-blah-default). This does use forwarding and the envelope recipient will change, but who cares? Chris
Virtual Domains and MX Records
Hi, I'm totally stuck trying to get qmail working the way I want it to, and the more I try to change configurations the more I get mixed up. The idea is that I have user.domain.co.uk as the virtual domain, so that [EMAIL PROTECTED] is sent to a local mailbox. What I've done so far is: made an MX record pointing to the domain.co.uk machine in qmail/control/virtualdomain entered user.domain.co.uk:username put user.domain.co.uk into rcpthosts and sent a HUP to both named and qmail-send Now reading the FAQ's and howto's etc I was led to believe that this would basically take the following steps: 1) mail arrives at domain.co.uk mail server 2) mail server has domain in its rcpthosts, good 3) is the domain in locals? no.. 4) is the domain a virtualdomain? yes... deliver to username And then username goes and checks his mail and there's the message. At the moment I'm getting a: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1) Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong please? I hope its not something stupid I've forgot, apologies if it is. TIA, Andy.
