I just converted a sendmail box to qmail and used fastforward to make use of the /etc/aliases table. It turns out that there was an alias that read simply: accounts: accounts I don't know why it was there and I didn't catch it during the conversion. However, fastforward doesn't seem to be as tolerant of such things. Every delivery to that address is listed in the log as being a successful delivery but they never actually arrived in the mailbox. Once I removed the alias, it worked fine. Any idea what happened to the phantom messages?

qmail/log (will be started later) qmail done
hi, I've just installed qmail in a new box and everytime qmail starts, it greets me with the following msg: # /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail restart Stopping qmail: qmail qmail/log (already down) done. Starting qmail: qmail/log (will be started later) qmail done. and the same seems to happen with the other qmail modules: noone is logging. My current log-handler is Syslog (just because I didn't touch a thing from the standard qmail install), and Syslog seems to be running fine (other services log just fine). now I've spent 2 hours of my sunday trying to find how to get logging to run, even under Syslog, and I just couldn't find the way. Can anybody point me to any obvious mistake I may be making? martin

qmail, vpopmail, forcecr, and fetchmail errors
hi, I been running qmail 1.03, vpopmail, and fetchmail on mandrake 6.1 for about 5 months now, with no (serious) problems. however I get the follow errors: (which are more likely to be fetchmail's [anyone the mailing list address? - I have no web access!!]) About to rewrite To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Rewritten version is To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] fetchmail: no local matches, forwarding to postmaster fetchmail: forwarding to mclsupport.co.uk fetchmail: SMTP MAIL FROM:[EMAIL PROTECTED] BODY=8BITMIME fetchmail: SMTP 250 ok fetchmail: SMTP RCPT TO:[EMAIL PROTECTED] fetchmail: SMTP 250 ok fetchmail: SMTP DATA fetchmail: SMTP 354 go ahead #*fetchmail: terminated with signal 13 The postmaster never gets these mails, they just don't exist. However because of the 'bomb out' the next time I dial up the same result occurs and I end up trapped in a loop, of check mail, get the once in the list above the erroring one, then bomb out. I only spot this when I get the same mail every 30 mins. Then have to delete the mail from the ISP's server. It's currently only the mailing list shown above [that breaks thing], so I need to know how to block there domain or fix fetchmail/qmail to work (prefered option). BTW: I've checked the ISP's message source and it doesn't contain a 'for' in any of the received section. If anyone has any ideas (or who to ask), solutions, or even hints on what to change I would be very grateful.. CheerS steve also BTW: But during that time ever mail received mail from my ISP produces the following error: (or something very close -i.e. change the vaules).

question re: smtp-poplock and/or perl
Gang - I'm sorry for posting this - I have already contacted David (author of above package) but thought someone on the list may be able to lend a further hand based on experience. I have been busy installing smtp-poplock to allow selective relaying. I am running the following setup: celeron 333...96MB RAM, 128M swap. redhat 6.2 with all the latest rpm's qmail 1.03 ezmlm-idx 0.53 smtp-poplock 2.04 qpopper3.0.2 I am running into problems running relaylock. After I insert relaylock into my /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run file, port 25 stops receiving email. When I check my logs, I see the following error: @40003941343e004fcbbc perl: error in loading shared libraries: libcrypt.so.1: failed to map segment from shared object: Cannot allocate memory @40003941343e0072ff74 tcpserver: end 762 status 32512 I upgraded perl and my kernel to the latest versions and verified that I had the latest version of glibc installed. From what I understand of this error message, it's supposed to mean that there was insufficient memory available to allow loading of shared objects...but when I ran top I found that I had 2.4M physical RAM available and 100+M of swap available. My question: is there anything I am missing? I tried turning off everything runnign on my machine and running it again - same error. Thanks for any and all help, and please let me know if I can supply any additional necessary information. Brandon

Also the other emails should be delivered to other recipient on mydomain.net. I have only permission to create .qmail-xxx files with commands.

Problem with return path in sqwebmail
I 'm managing a server with Sqwebmail 0.36 now, but I still have a problem with the return path, as the server name is server.somesite.or.id and the domain for the user is just only somesite.or.id so bob email address will be [EMAIL PROTECTED] In vpopmail, I didn;t compile it with --default-domain=somesite.or.id, because if I do, then when users check their mail, by using only their username, and not username%domain, they will got response from the POP server like this (sorry I a bit forgot it) error, aack client crash. So I prefer to rm the ~vpopmail/users and then link with ln -s ~vpopmail/domains/somesite.or.id ~vpopmail/users It works, and people can fetch their mail by using only their username, and not full address, they can also login to sqwebmail by only typing their username, and don;t neet to type their full address. The problem is, that, when users only insert their username when they login to the webmail, their return path will be like [EMAIL PROTECTED] Of Course, this is wrong, and makes people can't know if their mails which they sent, bounce, because the bounce will go to postmaster account as double bounce. But if they login using their full email address like [EMAIL PROTECTED], then the return path IS correct. My question is how to solve this problem ?, is this DNS problem, or sqwebmail problem, or vpopmail problem ? thanks

Qmail on Linux
We are planning to have a new server, and it can be a Dual Pentium III server, with 512 RAM, and RAID 5 controller with 2 X 18 giga drives to serve about 12,000 email account @ 2 M for our students, and web space about @1 M, My question is, can linux handle this so large system, especially from the inode problem. Can by doing this echo "16384" /proc/sys/fs/file-max echo "65536" /proc/sys/fs/inode-max solve the inode problem then ? Or should we use like NetBSD or FreeBSD ? Beside that, as we want to give web space too for the students, can mysql handle this heavy load, because we want to make the password for web and mail the same, so my plan is using vpopmail + mysql, and proftpd + mysql, so they will share the same database password, and when users change their email password, they change their FTP password at the same time. Thanks.
spam dissguised as bounce
Greetings, I know I cannot block mail that is coming from because of course I would be preventing bounces from coming in, but lately I've been getting hit with spam sent to multiple users disguised as a bounce.
