Re: tcpserver stunnel
Bradey Honsinger wrote: I'm not currently blocking normal POP3 connections, but as I understand it you use tcpserver to only accept pop3 traffic from localhost (which limits it to accepting connections forwarded from the s-pop3 port to the pop3 port using stunnel), in much the same way you configure qmail-smtpd to only relay mail from specific IPs. Yeah, I think this is what I'll end up doing too. I have a test setup with it and it works pretty well. The only downside to this that I can see is that using stunnel in daemon mode I don't get concurrency limits or any of the other tcpserver benefits for the initial ssl connections. I could run stunnel out of xinetd I suppose but then I wouldn't get the ssl caching hoo-ha that stunnel can do. So what's the general thought on just adding TLS/SSL support to tcpserver, is that outside of the ucspi-tcp model, better left up to a separate program, or something that would be nice but just hasn't been done yet? -- Jamie Heilman http://wcug.wwu.edu/~jamie/ "We must be born with an intuition of mortality.

Make sure some freak program hasn't changed all the ownerships on those mailboxes (ie ls -l /home/mailhome/a or whatever and check the files are owned by their respective owners). Also try a killall -HUP tcpserver or inetd (depending on what you use), in case it is somehow managed to lock all the files open.

qbiff.c
Hello,
I'm running qmail for a long time without any problems.
Now I should run qbiff for a couple of users, but
without success. Diging in the source I found this:
if (!(st.st_mode 0100)){
close (fdtty);
continue;
}
I'm not a C programmer, so please tell me what this
means ? As far as I can read it, in st.st_mode is
stored mode of respective tty line. In my case this
is /dev/ttyp0 wich mode is 20620. (20620 0100) is
0, so fdtty gets closed and qbiff doesn't send notify.
Is this mean, that in order to receive notifications
about incoming mails I must set all my tty's in
mode 700 ? Why ?
Please feel free to correct me if I'm totally wrong.
And excuse my poor english ;-)
Thank you for your time.

From the error message and the ls output above, it seems that delivery is *not* occuring as user "alias", which is the only user with access to that directory. The users under /home/mailhome/a/... /home/mailhome/b/... are not listed in the /etc/passwd file. What happens was, when a user connects to the pop server (port 110), qmail-popup will run, as follows: qmail-popup renegade.myweb.com.my /bin/checkpassword_mysql /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir - this will check the user and password against the mysql database.

I'm not sure about the triggers, but no one was logged in (that I could find) and the only thing that I saw abnormal was the remote concurrency go from 0-96 (first due to CNAME failures), then remote slowly declined to 0, then it ramped back up to 96 with what appeared as remotes going through, then it trickled down to 0, then back up to 96 with more remote deliveries.

problems concerning ldap qmail
hi all, i am in the process of applying the ldap patch to qmail. but while i am looking at qmail-ldap.h, i don't know exactly what to put in the fields... like LDAP_MAIL, should i just put the ldap user's email account (meaning only one...)? and could anyone pls explain a little how qmail-ldap works without creating local accounts? or do we have to write scripts to do create them on the mailhost once we got information from ldap and that such homedir does not exists on the mailhost? also what mechanism should i use to deliver the mail once i found my mailhost? should i let qmail do it, or should i just write to nfs?? i've searched the discussions and i found a msg saying that the "to" field needs to be rewritten b4 sending to the mailhost. how can this be done? so many qustions... thanx very much, but i am so eager to set this up asap! manuel. _ Global Virtual Desktop Get your free Desktop at http://www.magicaldesk.com

RE: deferral: Unable_to_switch_to_/home/mailhome/s/simonyjh:_access_denied._(#4.3.0)/
Try: sed s/\:1001\:/\:new_GUD\: assign.timestamp assign.whatever It will go through and replace :1001: with :new_GID: and write the output to assign.whatever. If you don't redirect the output, it sends it to the terminal (screen). If this is a huge file, that's probably not something you want to do as it will be awhile before you can regain control of the terminal while it dumps the contents of the file to the screen. The reason that you would want to include the extra : characters is so that you doin't inadvertantly nuke one of the usernames that might have 1001 in it. Just in case you didn't know, you use \ to "escape" the character so that the command line doesn't try to interpret it. The : means "null" and is used in shell scripting for "doing nothing" in conditional statements where you might expect to use a command, like: if [ some test ] then : else do something fi I'm no sed expert, but this is a fairly simple basic use of it. There may be someone that can give you something fancier, or perhaps with a little more error correction, but this is the gist of it, and will work as written.

Correct. It's the obscurity of how certain commands,

like qbiff, write, talk etc which want to write to your

You may want to look at the man pages for mesg to help
understand what's going on, but essentially dmesg/biff
set the mode bits and use group tty access to determine
whether or not qbiff/write/talk can or should write something
to your tty.
is /dev/ttyp0 wich mode is 20620. (20620 0100) is
0, so fdtty gets closed and qbiff doesn't send notify.
Is this mean, that in order to receive notifications

I would think 0100 or '+x'.

queue rather large
We recently converted our sendmail box to qmail. I've noticed that our queue is now typically 2 to 3 times larger than it was with sendmail. I believe much of that is related to using vpopmail, which doesn't bounce the message until it has been accepted by the smtpd daemon. This, of course, means the message is now stuck in the queue attempting to bounce back to some spammer's non-existent address. However, there also seems to be quite a few more messages deferred to remote hosts that are having problems (failed SMTP, failed after delivery, etc.). I realize these are not qmail issues, but I'm curious why I didn't see this many messages building up under sendmail. Does qmail have different criteria for which messages it continues to try?

problem with virtual domains
hello list, after running qmail for 8 weeks now without any trouble so far, qmail starts driving me crazy today ! i am running a webserver with qmail as mailsystem. furthermore i am running my own named. i set up mydomain.com correctly in named with the following subdomains: mx.mydomain.com IN CNAME mydomain.com ftp.mydomain.com IN CNAME mydomain.com www... named runs without any trouble and works correctly. /var/qmail/controls/virtualdomains contains the following: mydomain.com:georg www.mydomain.com:georg now, the problem is the following: sending an email to anything@mydomain.com ends in an errormsg by qmail saying :"sorry, no mailbox by this name", although i put mydomain.com into virtualdomains. sending an email to anything@www.mydomain.com works perfectly. replacing with "www" by i.e. "ftp" or "mx" in virtualdomains works, too. i am using qmail with qmail's own pop3d, not vpopmail. i have checked through all my configfiles, but i can't find any mis-configuration. unfortunately my system worked well since tonight, although i DID NOT alter any of the configfiles. somebody who can help me or give me a hint where to start my investigation ? -- regards, jens --- department computer science, university of dortmund linux ... life's too short for reboots!
RE: tcpserver stunnel
jamie sez: snip The only downside to this that I can see is that using stunnel in daemon mode I don't get concurrency limits or any of the other tcpserver benefits for the initial ssl connections. I could run stunnel out of xinetd I suppose but then I wouldn't get the ssl caching hoo-ha that stunnel can do. I poked around a bit, and there's a (much) earlier thread on this list about running stunnel under tcpserver--apparently the reason stunnel and tcpserver don't (didn't?) get along is that stunnel wants to be argv[0]. There's a patch for stunnel (from 1998, so it probably needs to be modified for the current version). There's also an argv0 program that comes with ucspi-tcp that also looks like it would solve the problem. Finally, there are a few sample startup scripts that imply that that's not really a problem anymore, and stunnel and tcpserver coexist fine. From searching the archive at http://www-archive.ornl.gov:8000/ for "tcpserver stunnel": A message describing the problem, which sounds like what I saw, is at: http://www.ornl.gov/its/archives/mailing-lists/qmail/1998/09/msg00723.html The message with the (old) patch: http://www.ornl.gov/its/archives/mailing-lists/qmail/1998/09/msg00743.html A very informative message from this May, with a cool stunnel startup script, implying that stunnel will indeed run under tcpserver: http://www.ornl.gov/its/archives/mailing-lists/qmail/2000/05/msg01621.html That last message also implies that qmail-smtpd will run under stunnel without modification. I'll try these things out when I get a chance, and report back to y'all. So what's the general thought on just adding TLS/SSL support to tcpserver, is that outside of the ucspi-tcp model, better left up to a separate program, or something that would be nice but just hasn't been done yet? I'd guess that DJB feels it's better left up to a separate program, but I'm sure there are others more qualified to give an opinion--anyone? - Bradey
tcpserver and dns
from the tcpserver man pages... -llocalname Do not look up the local host name; use localname for TCPLOCALHOST. Does this mean that it queries our DNS server for the local host's name during inbound mail delivery? If so, an-l`hostname`would probably be quicker and lighten load on the DNS server, right?

Re: .qmail file does not work (this is right one ,first i made some mistake in it)
also sprach chuck: TRy putting the .qmail file into the ~vpopmail/domains/domainname/ directory instead. Actually vpopmail supports putting a .qmail file in ~vpopmail/domains/dom/u BUT it only supports putting ``[EMAIL PROTECTED]''. To do pipes and other .qmail tricks, you'll need to do the above, move it into ~vpopmail/domains/dom/ and rename it to .qmail-u. /pg -- Peter Green : Gospel Communications Network, SysAdmin : [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- "And it _really_ moves" G Galilei (Linus Torvalds, announcing a yet better kernel)
No log being generated by Qmail
Hi Everyone This is real URGENT. We just installed a new qmail server with virtual domains... and now to our surprise no logs files are being generated ( in /var/log/qmail). Also In /var/log/qmail-smtpd the log file says... TCP server fatal error..unable to bind to address.. address already in use Please note that however all the mails are working perfectly fine and we are able to send emails to our users and also to the internet including the Virtual domains that we had setup... Would apprecite if anyone could help us.. REAL FAST... Thanks Lokesh
Re: .qmail file does not work (this is right one ,first i made some mistake in it)
From: David [EMAIL PROTECTED] |egrep -qw '(word1|word2|word3)' exit 99 || exit 0 /Maildir/ First, its missing a dot before the /Maildir/... there's no Maildir in /, is there? Second, I'm not very familiar with egrep's regular expressions, but if I was to parenthise what you wrote it would seem to me that egrep would read it as (word(1|w)ord(2|w)ord3) Which sure isn't what you intended it to do. Perhaps you meant (word1)|(word2)|(word3) Armando

Hello, everyone. Now, It seemed worked but all emails (with or without word1 ...) are returned the returned email said [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Sorry, no mailbox here by that name.
