script chkattach
I tried to use the script chkattach by Noel G. Mistula, (http://www.ornl.gov/its/archives/mailing-lists/qmail/1999/07/msg00518.html) but I got a problem when the sender and the receiver are implementing the same check. The message is discarded (triple bouncing) because nobody wants to accept it. The main problem is the missing of a notice, in that way nobody knows why the massage was discarded. Any hint? -- Daniele Bernazzi tel: 0577 585794 fax: 0577 586191 e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Mesages defered - for 6 hours to one domain problem
Dear All, A thanks to all those whom have contributed to qmail - I've used it on lots of servers for 9 months with very few issues, and am very happy with it. I am having a few problems which I believe are not qmail issues - but I need more info before I contact other admins. I have a qmail setup on a pentium 90 (16 meg ram) that manages a few (2 real domains - with about 10 low trafic aliases) domains with vpopmail. Trafic is very low! I find repeated entries: Jun 15 10:21:15 mailgate qmail: 961064475.400874 delivery 17215: deferral: Sorry,_I_couldn't_find_any_host_by_that_name._(#4.1.2)/ I get arround 200 messages a week - that appear to be arround 10 messages to the same domain - in this case smartaxis.co.uk - here is a part of header: > >Received: from mailgate.pipistrel.com ([193.195.219.40] verified) > > by smartaxis.co.uk (CommuniGate Pro SMTP 3.2.4) > > with SMTP id 338741 for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Fri, 16 Jun 2000 > 16:30:36 +0100 > >Received: (qmail 10115 invoked from network); 16 Jun 2000 11:34:19 - > >Received: from pc27.pipistrel.com (HELO pipistrel.com) (192.168.1.27) > > by mailgate.pipistrel.com with SMTP; 16 Jun 2000 11:34:19 - I.e the messages are defered for arround 6 hours (which I know is qmail expected behavour ..) What excactly does the: deferral: Sorry,_I_couldn't_find_any_host_by_that_name._(#4.1.2)/ Mean - is I have have the MX record but cannot resolve the name to an IP ? or I cannot get the MX record ? or I have an IP but cannot get through to the box ? It all sounds to me a DNS issue - The server is also an internal DNS for the 20 or so PC's in the office - but this "appears" to be fine. Any help would be much appreciated. Greg Cope
timestamp problem
hello, i am running qmail on a suse linux server with its systemclock set correctly. unfortunately, qmail sets an incorrect time to every outgoing mail. system time and time in mails differs in exactly 2 hours, i.e. writing a mail at 16:00 o'clock sets time to 14:00 o'clock in the mail. any ideas why ? -- jens --- department computer science, university of dortmund linux ... life's too short for reboots!
Re: vpopmail + qmail
I'm using the qmailadmin program (CGI on web server) and it fully supports vpopmail configuration, including local mail user delivery (if I'm not mistaken -- I don't use that feature).

Re: vpopmail + qmail
My questions was that there is not docs for the vconvert program, nor any doc's if you don't check the mail via POP3 (ie the users are on the same machine). Not a lot of unix MUA have POP3 support. I finally figured out that I could forward the mail to a 'local' user by adding a vpopaccount, then creating a foward to the same user @localhost. A bit of a hack.. but it worked.

Unfortunately it does not specify what tags are used where to indicate the status. It merely refers to 'done' and 'not done'. I'm also trying to figure out what the 'F' flag on the addresses in the 'remote' queue means...

how to setup Maildir
hello all can u help me setting up Maildir here iam not able to setup Maildir thanks
Re: how to setup Maildir
> can u help me setting up Maildir
> here iam not able to setup Maildir
Easy, correct method:
/var/qmail/bin/maildirmake {username}
Long, cumbersome, error-prone method:
cd ~{username}
mkdir Maildir
mkdir Maildir/new
mkdir Maildir/cur
mkdir Maildir/tmp
chown -R {username}[.:]{usergroup} Maildir
chmod -R 600 Maildir

inetd vs. ucspi-tcp
hi, is there a difference in using qmail-pop3d with either inetd or ucspi-tcp ? regards, jens --- department computer science, university of dortmund linux ... life's too short for reboots!
Re: Interesting disclosure of domains subscribed to qmail list
I'm seeing the same thing here whenever I post to the list. I logged about 1000 hits to my nameserver in about an hour, and went slightly into "curious" mode because I never get that kind of traffic on my small home LAN. I wondered at first if it was some sort of stealth attack because the queries seemed to be coming from all over the world - until I realized that it was just other list members' spam filters, probably scanning the Recieved: lines or some such. I guess it's just one of those interesting things about the internet... Eric [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > I know, I know, posting to both lists?

Re: inetd vs. ucspi-tcp
Jens Georg a écrit : > is there a difference in using qmail-pop3d with either inetd or ucspi-tcp ? Yes, under high load (in fact when there are more than N requests per second), inetd will reject new clients (usually during 5 minutes) . tcpserver has not that "feature". You may also try G2S available from http://www.jedi.claranet.fr Best regards, -- Frank DENIS aka Jedi/Sector One aka DJ Chrysalis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> If Bill Gates had a dime for every time a Windows box crashed... ...oh, wait a minute -- he already does.
Re: inetd vs. ucspi-tcp
I will paraphrase what's in your signature as an answer to your question: ucspi-tcp ... life's too short for the obsolete inetd! See http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp/tcpserver.html for details.
