lots of qmail-smtpd processes...
hi all, on my qmail box i can see about 20 qmail-smtpd processes. now, this can either mean that one of my users (allowed through tcp.smtp) is sending lots of mail out, or another mail server out on the internet is sending lots of mail in. about 5 of these processes are from IP addresses that i recognise (in my system), a couple of them are IP addresses of mail servers that i know, but there are a substantial number qmail-smtpd processes that have TCPREMOTEIP=202.59.39.88 (i can tell this by doing a psaxfe) what is my course of action? these qmail-smtpd processes are just sitting there... is this a legitimate mail server sending me mail, or someone trying to spam my system? (or trying to relay through my system?) I traceroute to the IP address and get no where. Regards, Marc-Adrian Napoli Network Administrator Connect Infobahn Australia +61 2 9281 1750

You can try to crack them using one of the many, many NT password crackers, depending on the password algorithm the software uses. One method we're looking at possibly using with a customer is to set up a modified POP proxy in front of the NT POP server for a few weeks. The proxy will note the username and password and then relay the connection through (obviously you'll need to modify the proxy source to log passwords). Robbie

Migrating From NT/Imail to Qmail
OK. I have a bunch of user accounts setup on Imail/NT and I want to migrate to Qmail. One Problem: I do not have any of the users passwords and I want to do the migration without messing up their passwords (and even more importantly, without them knowing). So I have two questions: 1) How do I correctly take user passwords and move them to Qmail? 2) What email-in-a-browser utilities exist for Qmail that simulate the Imail interface? Regards, JB

Large scale mails server (smtp/pop3/imap4)
I'm thinking in a large scale mail server, providing pop3 and imap4 access to the mailboxes stored in a diferent server and shared via NFS. I want to use mailboxes like these : /mailboxes1/user1/user /mailboxes1/user2/user /mailboxes2/user3/user .. .. .. /mailboxesN/userN/user At the same time the imap4/pop3/smtp service must be able to read and write from these mailboxes. Can any give me a pointer to this information ? Thank's RDA.-
queue notices
I've seen a few mail systems notify users that mail hasn't been delivered when it's been queued for X number of days, but hasn't yet expired. Say your queuelifetime is set to 1 week. After a message hasn't delivered for 1 day, let the sender know that it hasn't and also that you (the mail server) will keep trying for another 6 days. Has anyone seen a patch like this? Any thoughts on implementing the idea? Thanks, jon

Unfortunately that does not seem to be happening. The requirements for a var-qmail package seem to be targetted towards systems that already have sendmail installed.

Re: Debian GNU/Linux (potato) Packages: var-qmail
Without even looking at them, I can tell you the following:
1) *if* the packages comply with dist.html, they will _never_ get into
potato.
2) If they don't comply with dist.html, you will not be allowed to
distribute them.
It's basically a lose/lose situation. If you want dist.html-compliant debs
for your own use or for unofficial use, that's fine. But they will never go
into debian, because they are in gross violation of debian's packaging
policy, and also there are already source packages for these programs in
debian.

virtual domain does not receive mails
Hello everybody, after several trials qmail is working properly with its minimum configuration. Now I'm trying to setup the virtual domain "virdom.com". I've created the virtualdomains file in /var/qmail/control (there was not such file, before) and I've added virdom.com:viradm in it. I've also added virdom.com in rcpthosts. I've created the viradm user in RedHat6.1 and I've created his Maildir with maildirmake program. In its /home/viradm/.qmail I've written "./Maildir/". I've also created the user joe and in /home/viradm/.qmail-joe I've written "../joe/Maildir" (of course I had already created /home/joe/Maildir). When I send an e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] nothing appears in ~/Maildir/new (the same thing if I try [EMAIL PROTECTED]). If I try "telnet 192.168.254.99 25" and then HELO, MAIL FROM: ..., RCPT TO: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I receive an "ok" from the mail server (no error messages). What I'm missing???

rcpthosts and locals
Hi, can qmail be changed in such a matter that, instead of (or next to) using the rcpthosts file, you allow all domains that have as Mx record (primary or backup) your own specified network range. And for locals the same question: allow all domains that have as mx record your own IP address. Franky

Hi,
I've just installed QMail, and am trying to use the drop in replacement
for sendmail in /var/qmail/bin/.
Whenever I run the program, I get the following error:
> sendmail: fatal: unable to run qmail-inject
Anyone able to help?
TIA,

Do you need to do this?
$ chmod 755 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject

No - but how embarrasment: my script had actually overwritten
qmail-inject!
Thanks for the sideways hint - it's working like a dream now.

Just use qmail-inject. That call qmail-queue (which in your case will
really be qmail-qmqpc). Or, if you want to be consistent with other
sites nots using qmail, call /usr/lib/sendmail -t. That should be a
symlink to /var/qmail/bin/sendmail which calls qmail-inject which
calls qmail-queue.

I am using qmail + vmailmgr for my pop3 mail. For me it was just
great. The version of the vmailmgr is 0.96.6.
While waiting for the quota feature in the next release, is there any
temporary workaround to cater this? Or any other alternative worth
trying?
Thanks all.

Don't forget to "su" to the user before you
execute maildirmake.

Nope, you need another / after Maildir it should be ./Maildir/ ... if you omit the last / qmail sees it as an mbox named Maildir. HTH, Steffan -- http://therookie.dyndns.org
maildir
all my incoming mails are gone (i cant find them) even if i have a succesful mail delivery my /var/qmail/rc file content: exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \ qmail-start ./Maildir is this correct?
primary server config
Hi there I'd like to setup a priamry to do mail forwarding to a NT exchange server it would be useful if a copy of each forwarded e-mail could be saved on the qmail server for 30 days or so what's the best way of doing this... nicholas --== Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ ==-- Before you buy.

This is a bad idea, IMHO. In fact they can connect, eat up one tcpserver connection for a short time, before the connection will be terminated by tcpserver. You will get connection attempts over connection attempts and the remote host will retry every message until it expires (i.e. usually one week). As other mailservers don't use the friendlich quadratic retry algorithm that qmail uses, but rather aggressive short retry times you may run into severe problems. \Maex -- SpaceNet GmbH | http://www.Space.Net/ | Stress is when you wake Research & Development| mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | up screaming and you Joseph-Dollinger-Bogen 14 | Tel: +49 (89) 32356-0| realize you haven't D-80807 Muenchen | Fax: +49 (89) 32356-299 | fallen asleep yet.

delivery strangeness
I am a qmail newbie . I am setting up a virtual domain, with the intent of creating a mailing list to operate from within that domain, but I cannot seem to get the virtual domain delivery to operate as expected. I didn't perform the qmail install on this box, but I suspect something is highly wrong ... I just can't figure it out myself. I know that dot-forward and fastforwarding are both installed here, but I can't find anything to explain this behavior (I probably don't know where to look). Starting at the beginning: I RTFMP and RTFFAQ, and followed the directions there: add starfire.worlddomination.net:nepolon-starfire to virtualhosts add starfire.worlddomination.net to rcpthosts kill -HUP the qmail-send proc But, I had to create a .qmail-starfire-default before local-local mail to the virtdomain would work. Otherwise I was getting: > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1) This tips me off that something is rotten, so I play gumshoe... This is the .qmail-starfire-default: /home/nepolon/mail/inbox Here is a local-local(virt) with the .qmail-starfire-default in place: Jun 18 23:18:00 worlddomination qmail: 961395480.852534 \ new msg 40335 Jun 18 23:18:00 worlddomination qmail: 961395480.852843 \ info msg 40335: bytes 456 from <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> \ qp 13 11 uid 502 Jun 18 23:18:00 worlddomination qmail: 961395480.864851 starting \ delivery 53: msg 40335 to local \ [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jun 18 23:18:00 worlddomination qmail: 961395480.865076 status: \ local 1/10 remote 0/20 Jun 18 23:18:01 worlddomination qmail: 961395481.009013 delivery 53: \ success: did_1+0+0/ Jun 18 23:18:01 worlddomination qmail: 961395481.009293 status: local \ 0/10 remote 0/20 Jun 18 23:18:01 worlddomination qmail: 961395481.009399 end msg 40335 This is as expected (though I didn't expect to need the dot-qmail as qmail-local does the same thing.

Local delivery can be made to work, but if the mail comes from the outside it doesn't recognise the destination as a virtual host. Is this because the DNS record for starfire.worlddomination.net is a CNAME of worlddomination.net rather than another record? Further evidence of foul play...
