i installed version 0.92. it sends the reply and ignores the message when repeated immediately, but it does not quote the original message. can it do that? and if so, can it shorten the original message to lets say 100 K or something? thanks, wolfgang Also sprach Bruce Guenter [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 19.07.2000: Version 0.91 of qmail-autoresponder is now available at: http://em.ca/~bruceg/qmail-autoresponder/

qmail + pop
Hi.. I was wondering - what does qmail reply on to deliver email for user authentication (valid username etc) so you dont end up with mails bouncing - and does anyone know if there is pop software available that does not reply on /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow for password authentication but uses an other file? The reason for this is - I want to create many (10k+) email accounts on a qmail machine with pop ability - without giving those people access to the machine for anything else. I'd like to keep /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow free of all those entries - but if I have to I know I can always enter them there and disable the shell they are using. How does qmail take that actually? Many questions - I hope you guys can answer them for me. Thanks, J.

The reason for this is - I want to create many (10k+) email accounts on a qmail machine with pop ability - without giving those people access to the machine for anything else. I suggest you use Berkeley DB files to store your mail users password file information. Then write a small library containing your own implementation of getpwnam() and getspnam() that looks up users in those files, and link the library with the standard checkpassword program. This will give you very good results with litte work. -- Gjermund Sorseth

dot-qmail with ./named.pipe == invalid argument #4.3.0
Greetings from a happy new qmail user (first post), ** qmail 1.03 ** linux-2.2.16-:i386-:-:pentium-:- As part of a ritualistic adventure to the edges of qmail sanity, I brazenly created a fifo to be read by a perl "daemon". Using a .qmail file in a real-user's home dir that read: ./inmail.pipe (BTW - I'm also using fastforward, but this is an actual user account without aliasing) Long story short -- qmail wrote to the pipe just fine but justifiably barfs at the end. (Uhh, stat call or something?) error Jul 20 10:43:03 mn qmail: 964089783.401047 delivery 3225: deferral: Unable_to_write_./inmail.pipe:_invalid_argument._(#4.3.0)/ /error So .. I proceeded to create a writer.sh: #!/bin/sh cat ./inmail.pipe and modified .qmail: | ./writer.sh This appears to work fine, as I had hoped. Why would I do such a crazy thing in the first place? I've compiled with QUEUE_EXTRA and plan to use it to mangle incoming/outgoing messages for [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] More precisely, I plan to attach ticket # headers, update the "bug reports" database, and route incoming replies to the sales/support person who was first to respond. Blah blah blah .. using Perl. I switched to qmail 1) specifically for QUEUE_EXTRA, 2) security, security, security, and 3) out of desperation and displeasure with sendmail (Sorry sendmail hackers). So why the FIFO? I'm concerned about spawning many-a-Perl at 2.5MB each on my lowly P75 DNS/Firewall/qmail box. So the idea of a single reader is attractive .. Is that crazy? Suggestions? (Other than "Pentium II's are cheap") :-) -Jay J p.s. Many thanks for qmail friends
Re: AutoReply Programs
The qtools package contains replier, a utility for setting up autorepliers. It filters each message through a program of your choice. That program or your .qmail file can deliver the message in addition to generating a reply. Regards, W.

Re: How to grab the envelope contents while filtering?
Actually, I was looking at the release notes, not the man page, but yes I
should have known that from version 1.0. Thanks.
As for the empty messages, I found that if my filter has no output a blank
message is sent to the envelope recipients. I circumvented by this
modification to qmail-qfilter.c v1.0:
/* remap the appropriate FDs and exec qmail-queue */
int run_qmail_queue(int tmpfd, int envpipe[2])
{
struct stat mystat;
struct stat *ptr_mystat;
ptr_mystat=mystat;
fstat(tmpfd,ptr_mystat);
if (mystat.st_size 5){
if(close(envpipe[1]) == -1 ||
dup2(tmpfd, 0) != 0 || close(tmpfd) == -1 ||
dup2(envpipe[0], 1) != 1 || close(envpipe[0]) == -1 ||
close(2) == -1)
return QQ_WRITE_ERROR;
execl(QMAIL_QUEUE, QMAIL_QUEUE, 0);
return QQ_INTERNAL;
}
return QQ_SUCCESS;
}
It's kind of a hack, but it works so far. Should I continue to use this method or is
there a better solution here?
Thanks again for all your help and patience with a newbie. :)

I assume this is envelope recipients. If so, I'm halfway there. I just
need
to doctor up 1.3 a little bit to also pass a variable for envelope sender
(and to drop empty messages). Can anyone confirm?
The same man page tells you that qmail-qfilter sets QMAILUSER and
QMAILHOST to the username and hostname portions of the envelope sender.
Dropping empty messages is something you can do in your filter.

patch to qmail-vacation
Hi!
I have made a little patch to qmail-vacation. It had the nasty behaviour
to regexp the Delivered-To lines. Very uncomfortable if you are dealing
with virtual domains...

I have a filter the looks at file attachments in the message. If certain file types are attached, the message delivery is stopped (ie. no output from the filter). Without the qmail-qfilter hack, qmail-queue gets only the envelope and sends what amounts to an empty message to the envelope recipients. With the hack, if the message is 5 characters, qmail-queue is not run.

Re: How to grab the envelope contents while filtering?
I saw that in your example, but it causes a delivery failure, which is not what I want to happen. I need the message to be accepted and silently dropped if it meets certain criteria. I do the appropriate notification on the back end. I suppose qmail-qfilter can be patched so that qmail-queue is not run on a specific filter exit code, no?

Maildir support for emacs vm
I've been using qmail for a long time, with Maildir and rmail. I use the mdmovemail program which is available on the Qmail site, and it works fine with rmail. Now, however, it is time for me to upgrade to a MUA with better support for MIME. It seems like the best choice for emacs is vm. It was easy to install vm into emacs, and it works fine for sending mail, but I can't get it to receive mail using mdmovemail. I put this line in my .vm: (setq vm-movemail-program "/usr/local/qmail/bin/mdmovemail") and I setenv MAIL to ~/Maildir/, and that should be all it needs, but it doesn't work. I'm pretty sure what's happening is that vm is looking in ~/Maildir for a file with the same name as my username, and when it doesn't find it, it assumes that there is no mail for me, and gives up happily. I search the archives of this list, and found some mail from a few years ago, with a wrapper for mdmovemail, but that did not seem like a reliable way to do this, so I didn't even try it. Does anyone have some recomendations? Maybe a patch to vm? I'm very ready to switch to vm from rmail, because it seems like a better way to go. Thanks, e

forced queeuing
Does anyone know if there is a way to force qmail to queue mail rather than bouncing it? i.e., qmail is set to relay all mail to a different mail server.

How can I prevent qmail from bouncing everything?
