If I try to start qmail from the command line using '/var/qmail/rc ' then do a 'ps -ef | grep qmail' I don't see anything however there is now a message in /var/adm/messages which says : " cygnus qmail: 961545697.225492 alert: cannot start unable to switch to queue directory" The queue directory is owned by user qmailq and group qmail.

Re: one user, virtual domains, mysql, wizz bang, mailing list manager
Dnia 2000-06-21, o godzinie 17:45:52, [EMAIL PROTECTED] napisa³: Hi, I guess the subject says it all, I'm looking for the vpopmail of mailing list management to work with qmail. Basically, I want to have one virtual user with one .qmail file in it leading to one program which will then handle multiple lists for multiple domains. I can have multiple domains delivered by putting domain1.com:listmanager domain2.com:listmanager into virtualdomains etc. however, I don't know of much that will then process it. MailMan seems to be the nearest option, and will appear to work with qmail. Ok, it doesn't have a mysql backend, but I can live without. I don't think that ezmlm is this program, because it's dependant on too many .qmail files. It also (afaik) needs one user per virtual domain. Did I mention it needed bounce handling, web interfaces, digests and other chummy MLM features too? Does such a program exist? Or do I need to write it !? I think you should use ezmlm (despite of the fact you think it's not good). If you look at qmailadmin (see links on qmails' site) you will see it has lots of options you need. And I don't think that one directory (because it's not user just directory) is too bad. Try to look what's inside all .qmail files created by ezmlm-make. You can change them whatever you want and I'm sure it will work. I wrote my own scripts in php which are started via apache (suexeced to user vpopmail and group vchkpw) and they can change a lot of ezmlm options. If you just have some free time sit and write your own scripts. If you don't have it you can gimme a email and I can send you some of mine (but there are really under-developing ;) ) -- pozdrawiam, Sylwester S. Biernacki [EMAIL PROTECTED]

IDs back from qmail-inject ?
Is there any way to get ANY kind of identifying information back from qmail-inject that can be used to later match the message up with log entries? Preferably the same kind of '952161799 qp 10208' kind of code that SMTP or QMTP gives me. Both stdout and stderr seem to produce nothing at all on success. It is important to me to account for everything, so I can know exactly what was delivered and what wasn't. And qmail-inject seems to be much the fastest way I can get things into the queue, so it would be very nice if I could also know whatever became of it. - Flemming

Mail queueing in relay host.
Dear Qmail admins, We have two computers with one acting as a relay host(abc.valid.net connected to the internet) and the other, on the local network(xyz.local.net), for storing mails. abc.valid.net is just for forwarding mails to and from the local mail machine(xyz.local.net). The problem I face is that if the internet link is down then the mails sent bounces back immediately and does not queue up in the abc.valid.net. I have setup the control/smtproutes file which has the following entry: :[ip address of the ISP MX] Should I setup something else? Thanks in advance.

no POP logging with checkpassword and pop3d
Hi all, I am on the way .. but there are some problems , shure. my linux server is running qmail 1.03(all daemons work). SMPT / relaying is ok. I have two client hosts (Win98) with Outlook as MUA. Now I want them to connect to my linux server via pop3, so I was asked for a user and passwd. I set up a normal linux account for both : comp1/password and comp2/password. I used this user and his password for logginf, but it doesn't work. I tested checkpassword with /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup host /bin/checkpassword pwd and got everything all right. Do I have to tell qmail about the users for pop3 in a different file ? Help needed, thanx, Mirco _ there is no attachment today. Have a nice day.
Re: Newbie Problems Starting qmail
Good morning, all! Regarding my previous message, I have still been unable to resolve my problem, despite reviewing the more popular references such as LWQ and the qmail faq. I understand that the solution may be as plain as day to many of you, however, as I mentioned in my subject as well as below, I'm new to qmail and not that experienced with Linux. So if some kind soul could take a minute to shed a little light, I'd be most grateful. Thanks in advance! John Romero HI, all! I'm trying to install qmail for the first time on a backup server we have running Linux redhat v5.2.

RE: using ./Maildir/ problems
Since you stated you chose to use Maildir/ delivery I would guess that you edited defaultdelivery in your qmail rc file, or that you understand what that means. what it looks like is you need to run maildirmake (found in /var/qmail/bin) as the user mirco. Or if you already have a Maildir for mirco, you need to check the ownership and permissions.

RE: pop3d problem
It's also possible your $HOST is not defined. A lot of people have been asking this question...is this something to do with reverse DNS or what? Anyway, here's the response I gave someone else ~1 week ago: When you telnet to your host on port 110, does it say: +OK some_long_string_of_numbers@your_domain_name_here or does it say something more like: +OK some_long_string_of_numbers@checkpasswd or +OK some_long_string_numbers@/bin/checkpasswd If it's one of the latter, your $HOST isn't defined correctly when you're starting qmail-pop3d. On mine, I believe it was because I didn't have reverse DNS running on my DNS server. I used the qmail-run RPM at qmail.org, so the line I had to change was: HOST=$($QMAILHOME/bin/hostname) where $QMAILHOME for me is defined as /var/qmail. Before I changed it to the above, it was some long line with /bin/hostname in it, but with another app as well. Near as I can tell, it was getting my hostname, DNSing it, then attempting to reverse DNS it and get the ip address. I assume this is to ensure that DNS is working right when it starts? I don't know...

My .fetchmailrc looks like this (I'll try to remember to blank out the passwords this time): defaults protocol POP3 is benfell here fetchall forcecr mda "/usr/bin/procmail -f - " poll mail. user dbenfell password xxx poll antares.x port 0 user benfell pass preconnect "ssh -C -f [EMAIL PROTECTED] -L 0:antares.x:110 sleep 5" poll area66-1.dsl.speakeasy.net port 0 user benfell pass preconnect "ssh -C -f [EMAIL PROTECTED] -L 0:area66-1.dsl.speakeasy.net:110 sleep 2" poll pop3.z user dbenfell password xxx # keep no fetchall This formula worked very, very briefly, once, in fact, on antares, a machine where I have an account but not administrative access and which runs sendmail. Mostly it isn't working there either. The other flavors people have sent me haven't made any difference, so I'm assuming my problem isn't in .fetchmailrc. area66-1 is running qmail. As you can see, I'm trying this on two machines, antares and area66-1. area66-1 is my server. Since I omitted the --syslog and --invisible options, I get a little more information on the terminal where I'm running this: 1 message for dbenfell at mail. (2133 octets). reading message 1 of 1 (2133 octets) .. flushed Warning: Remote host denied X11 forwarding, perhaps xauth program could not be run on the server side. fetchmail: POP3 connection to antares.x failed: Connection refused fetchmail: Query status=SOCKET Warning: Remote host denied X11 forwarding, perhaps xauth program could not be run on the server side.

SMTP/POP3 cgi app, smtp does not redirect to other servers
Hi all, I am building a pop toaster from the al-the-pal product. http://althepal.com/ Basically it is a stupid simple perl cgi app, but I am just learning the mail protocols (argh!!) The pop3 part rocks, no problems there. But when I try to send mail to my yahoo mail instead of my own box, I get the error that yahoo.com is not on the list of recipients. To me that makes sense, but is there a feature where qmail will redirect mail to any other mail server out there ?? I have partially hardwired the above to use qmail-inject, with parital success (the attachments feature is broken yet) I have a pretty good background building cgi's for intranets. I will set up CVS if anybody wants to work on this product or evolve an even better one. I have a club to support that kind of action, and infact, I really want to become a tcpserver/tcpclient expert sometime soon. TIA !! Lots of ^L (lol?? :) = John van Vlaanderen # #CXN, Inc.

I'm not going to flame - just point out that qmail breaches RFC 821 in several areas. It's also fairly unfriendly about bandwidth usage _and_ accepts some relay attempts, then dumps them in the postmaster box, which can result in local or proxy mailbombings. Postfix and Exim are two other alternatives to sendmail, both better behaved. Qmail _is_ useful if you run a list processor because of its high throughput abilities, but IMO it's not suitable as a general purpose mailserver. It was designed for list servers with good bounce management and it shows. AB

Hacker attack!
Check this out: http://www.floridatoday.com/news/business/stories/2000/jun/bus062100b.htm Excerpts: Harris Corp.'s Web site disappeared from the Internet Monday and Tuesday, after an apparent hacker attack rerouted visitors to an unrelated site that was still under construction. Baker said the problem started when an unknown person e-mailed Network Solutions Inc., which maintains a directory for Internet addresses, instructing the Herndon, Va.-based company to reroute all traffic from the www.harris.com http://www.harris.com domain to a site maintained by myinternet.com, another Internet domain registration company. Apparently in this day and age, sending e-mail is considered hacking! I must be an old-sk00l hax0r th3n, since I started sending e-mail sometime around 1991 through my 3133t WW1V BBS. I advise that all list members block port 25 until these malicious hackers can be brought to justice. Turn off sendmail, qmail, postfix, or whatever you run, don't allow services that hax0rs can exploit. Oh, look! I just hacked the qmail list, by sending e-mail to it! :) Chad Day Beach Associates When I speak german...

The author of that text doesn't actually specify what portions of RFC821 he belives that qmail violates, so it's difficult to tell what he's referring to. However, these types of things comes up regularly on this list. The general consensus (if I may be so bold) is that Dan's interpretation or the fuzzy sections of RFC821 does not always comply with others' interpretation of the same fuzzy sections, but it appears that most people on this list believe Dan's approach is the most (pick one) reliable, robust, secure, efficient.

Then the preconnect command starts up a ssh connection, which includes a port forwarding of 0 on the localhost to the port 110 on the remote system. End result: fetchmail tries to connect to port 0 on the remote server, not on localhost, where the forward has been set up. Adding a "via localhost" there should fix your problems.

All incoming mail default to one pop box
This will probably be a FAQ, but I can't find it in the FAQ.. :-) Lets say I only have 1 domain on my machine. Is it possible to tranfer all incoming mail to a user account and then setup .qmail files there to distribute certain aliases to different boxes..? In other words just like you can configure virtual domains to send *@domain2.com to a user john and then use aliases to do further distribution, so also do this with the 'primary/first' domain on the machine ... Now first the mailer looks if there are any accounts that match the name (mailto:help@heaven...) is send to user account 'help' if it exists.. To illustrate here is PIC.local2alias file: qmail-injectFill in the complete envelope and header: | (envelope) from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] | From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Hi. V qmail-queue Store message safely on disk. Trigger qmail-send. | V ! This step I want to remove so that the mailer doesn't look if the user exists and just send it to the '.qmail-default box... qmail-send Look at envelope recipient, [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Is heaven.af.mil in locals? Yes. | Deliver locally to [EMAIL PROTECTED] V qmail-lspawn ./Mailbox | Look at mailbox name, help. | Is help listed in qmail-users? No. | Is there a help account? No. | Give control of the message to alias. | Run qmail-local. V qmail-local alias ~alias help - help heaven.af.mil [EMAIL PROTECTED] ./Mailbox Does ~alias/.qmail-help exist? Yes: "john". Forward message to john. Thanks.. I am new to Qmail, so the questions may be stupid.. I tried to empy the locals file and put the primary domain in the virtualdomain table.. But this doesn't seem to work.. Bye Bye David

Is there an easier/better way? how about setting the DNS first, and then you move your old server ? First you set your DNS with as low as you can for the expiry for a few weeks, so when you change your DNS Record, sites accross of internet can fastly change their records too. Then you turn off your server, then move it as quick as possible to new location, turn it on, and update the DNS record.

trouble with bounces
I have just looked at my qmail-debug logs which is showing the message: warning: trouble injecting bounce message, will try later. this is coming up a lot... like several of them in the span of a second... they started yesterday some time which coincides with some problems I was having with my swap partition. ie; the drive was corrupted and caused me no end of problems with my web server, so processes with screwed up names, qmail, etc... I restarted everything that seemed to crap out and it all seems to be going OK, but the system is quite low on resources... it floats between 3 and 20Mb of RAM free out of 384Mb... I had to kill the swap partition till we can get a new HD to replace the swap drive, so basically, it may have stemmed from a memory corruption... it's quite odd, any advice or opinions welcome. ta. -- Spiro Harvey Linux Systems Engineer A.Net Communications / ( http://www.anet.co.nz ) -- Spiro Harvey Linux Systems Engineer A.Net Communications / ( http://www.anet.co.nz )

commands in .qmail
I have had a look at the solutions on the qmail site for scanning email for viruses but they do not quite fit what im after. I have also looked at a script posted to this list that looks for attachment types. This is very close to what I want but am trying to write a script to use McAfee instead of just checking the attachments. If I run my script inside the .qmail file how can I pass the incoming email to the virus scanner? Is there any way to do this. The check attachment script obviously does this, but im just a bit too much of a novice to know how. i.e (I think im on the right track with this but could be completely wrong, I know the virus scanner exits with a 13 when it fails) If '/usr/local/uvscan/uvscan ?' = 13 ; Then echo 'bla bla bla' exit 100 fi; Thanks Martin Martin Searancke CommSoft Group Ltd.
