Re: Qmail + sendmail wrapper + PHP's mail()
Hi,
I don't know the best way to explain my problem, but here it goes. :)
Dev machine is a RedHat 6.2 install. Apache 1.3.12 with PHP 4.0.1pl2 and stock
sendmail.
Server is Redhat 6.2 apache 1.3.12 PHP 4.0.1pl2 with qmail (and vpopmail)
I got a php script that I developed on the dev machine.. every thing works.
it calls mail() proper headers and whatnot.. sendmail connects to my server
sends the mail and works. Things here O.K.
Move the web code to the server. Try the php script. nothing... no erros no
nothing. I do a 'tail -f' on the qmail log files. nothing shows up...
It seems that mail() function from php 4.0.1pl2 expects to find
_real_ sendmail. At least, it use the following code:
sendmail = popen(sendmail_path, "w");
if (sendmail) {
fprintf(sendmail, "To: %s\n", to);
fprintf(sendmail, "Subject: %s\n", subject);
if (headers != NULL) {
fprintf(sendmail, "%s\n", headers);
}
fprintf(sendmail, "\n%s\n", message);
ret = pclose(sendmail);
if (ret == -1) {
return 0;
} else {
return 1;
}
}
As quick hack, could you try to insert use the following:
move /var/qmail/bin/sendmail - /var/qmail/bin/sendmail-bin
and create fake script
/var/qmail/bin/sendmail:
#!/bin/bash
/var/qmail/bin/sendmail-bin -t $*
-t flags means using qmail-inject with flag -H instead of -a (i.e.
using header receipients)

This is the lists/Mail-Followup-To feature in qmail-inject, it will add
a Mail-Followup-To header to your mail if you're sending mail to a
mailing list you're subscribed to, as listed in your ~/.lists file.
Unfortunately, in su-situations, qmail-inject apparently gets a little
confused about where it should try to look for the file.
Sorry that I can't really be helpful, as I don't know how this can be
fixed or how this feature can be turned off, but hopefully you can at
least understand what is going on.
I also think the error reporting on qmail-inject's part in this case is
not really good enough...
Hope this helps,

RE: rcpt to|cc|bcc and To:|Cc:|Bcc: limitations
Another idea! Set up another interface on the box specifically for that customer and create a separate qmail installation for him there for different queue and different services for him and the other customers that you are worried about slowing down! Slider 1) Is the user a)dialling up and gets a ramdom ip address or b)are you hosting him and has a constant ip address? He's one of our dialup customers (random ip) 2) If (a) then get his Caller ID and ban him from dial up or filter his connection to a slower mail service! 3) If (b) ban his IP from smtp connections to your mail servers... for investigation in iether situation! I don't want to scare the customer away, but I want him over on our mailing list service. The customer is a company, and our relationship to this customer is very good except for the huge mailing from them once a week and sometimes more. There is no performance problems on this server, but I just like a clean mail queue. With huge recipients from a clients addressbook, there is always some bounce candidates keeping the whole recipientslist in the queue. The mails going out is product information/advertising to their customers/contacts. In other words low priority mails that can use the time it takes on a mailing list server to process. Our international bandwith is a E3 line and domestic it's 100mbps, and the mails is mainly domestic. I'm just tired of having this huge list of recipients hanging in the queue until all mails are delivered or bounced. This server is our main mailhub, and I think of our other customers when I want to move obvious hunks of mail to where they belong. It takes time to deliver mails to 1000+, making the other users mail wait on their turn. Just don't see the point to let this customer use the main mail hub, when we have dedicated servers for this. My customers are spoilt with instant delivery of their 1/2/3/4 mails, and I intend to keep it this way :-) 4) Another suggestion editing the /etc/tcp.smtp file with "ipaddressofconnection".:allow,RELAYCLIENT="",DATABYTES="sizeyouarewillingto send",TARPITCOUNT="100",TARPITDELAY="5" (of course you have to recreate the tcp.smtp.cdb) And of course patch qmail-smtpd.c with the tarpit-path ;-) 4 cont) this will allow first "100" e-mails past from the ip range selected at the size selected and there after will wait "5" seconds before delivering the remaining (above 100) emails, this will seriously hang the users client and probably will not be too interested in doing it again! Anyone have ideas or scripts as to getting notification when the TARPITDELAY starts to count, or when the TARPITCOUNT has been reached? Advantage being that the administrator can catch red handed the user and make a decision as to the best course of action...

But, of course, the default sendmail_path in php4 is "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t", so the reason of initial problem is something different. At least, real sendmail_path could be checked by loooking at phpinfo() output. BTW, sendmail -t works from command line without explicit "\r\n".

RE: Virtualdomians
go to freshmeat.net and find and then dl and then install 'vpopmail' It is a very good vitrualdomain addon for qmail. The usernames then become the users's e-mail address.. examplee-mailaddress of : [EMAIL PROTECTED] the username for that would be "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" The only downside I found of that is that Netscape doesn't like thoses kinda "user names" it tries to truncate anything after the @ and just use what's before the @... most e-mail clients will like that kinda username. BTW ayone have any other ideas beside using and "@" sign in the user's name like umm "#" (username: jason#domain.com) so things like netscape will work? This hasn't been and issue with my customers yet but I think it may soon (I suggest them use Outlook or a seperate e-mail or that I foward e-mail to their current account) On 11-Aug-2000 Kornyakov Yevgeny wrote: I have several virtualdomians.

RE: who to send mail from web
first of all, to my understandingASP is basically a server side evaluation of the file before transmittal to the client. This isn't linked with any particular syntax besides possiblyinforming what language if other than default and the % % tokens. I'msomewhat familiar with ASP, but I assume you're using VBScrip rather thanJavaScript or PerlScript, as VBScript is the default ASP language. One thing doesn't add up - ASP pages on non-windows web servers aren'tsomething you see every day, and you want to call qmail-inject directly? If the ASP page is on a windows server, then i don't see you calling qmail-inject. If the server IS actually a qmail server as well, then, simply execute an external program indicating the proper input/output. Its just a command line utility after all. All the scripting languages I've learned do this easily. You could do a similar task by using remote shell commands to get to the qmail server and run qmail-inject that way - some permission complications and configuration to do - good luck with that. If the server ISN'T actually a qmail server, then I suspect you'll want to create an SMTP connection to the qmail server and deliver the message that way. Use the supplied objects for your scripting language of choicethat allow you to create SMTP connections. I'm sure they're out there somewhere. Its Net::SMTP in perl.

Help with smtp+tcpserver
Hello, I've had a qmail running qmail-smtp and tcpserver for awhile now without incident.. I'm using the selective relay scripts from russell I believe.. the method of adding IPs which expire overtime, and I also have a tcp.filter.static file as well which allows certain IPs to always relay. The reason for this is I have some devices which send out via SMTP only, and do not do POP3 checks so the scripts would not normally allow them to relay through the server. Well, I've added another smtp device, and its failing. Here is the log from qmail-smtp 966035536.830093 tcpserver: status: 1/40 966035536.830984 tcpserver: pid 29035 from 12.35.161.33 966035536.855213 tcpserver: ok 29035 mail.tandbergapplications.com:12.35.161.8:25 :12.35.161.33::9563 966035536.875950 bash: /home/jobu/.bashrc: Permission denied 966035536.994612 tcpserver: end 29035 status 256 966035536.994818 tcpserver: status: 0/40 966035636.134942 tcpserver: status: 1/40 966035636.135643 tcpserver: pid 29043 from 12.35.161.41 966035636.157743 tcpserver: ok 29043 mail.tandbergapplications.com:12.35.161.8:25 :12.35.161.41::1514 966035636.178186 bash: /home/jobu/.bashrc: Permission denied 966035662.060242 tcpserver: end 29043 status 0 966035662.060274 tcpserver: status: 0/40 Ignore the bash error, it doesn't affect it.. though I wish I could find out what script/etc is trying to execute and causing that error =/ Anyways.. the first is a failed message.. the second is a successful from another unit.

I'm a maildir user agent. I've got a message in a maildir, and my user wants a copy of it in another maildir as well. If the maildirs are on the same filesystem, can I just make a hard link, or do I have to make a copy? The maildir specification doesn't explicitly address this, so a strict reading would say I should make a copy. If I just make links, will that break any existing maildir code? paul
RE: Help with smtp+tcpserver
Apparently 256 means relaying denied.. =) I found a typo in the filters I was using in my .cdb file. Thanks for listening -Steve -Original Message- From: Steve Kapinos [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, August 11, 2000 6:42 PM To: Qmail Subject: Help with smtp+tcpserver Hello, I've had a qmail running qmail-smtp and tcpserver for awhile now without incident.. I'm using the selective relay scripts from russell I believe.. the method of adding IPs which expire overtime, and I also have a tcp.filter.static file as well which allows certain IPs to always relay. The reason for this is I have some devices which send out via SMTP only, and do not do POP3 checks so the scripts would not normally allow them to relay through the server. Well, I've added another smtp device, and its failing. Here is the log from qmail-smtp 966035536.830093 tcpserver: status: 1/40 966035536.830984 tcpserver: pid 29035 from 12.35.161.33 966035536.855213 tcpserver: ok 29035 mail.tandbergapplications.com:12.35.161.8:25 :12.35.161.33::9563 966035536.875950 bash: /home/jobu/.bashrc: Permission denied 966035536.994612 tcpserver: end 29035 status 256 966035536.994818 tcpserver: status: 0/40 966035636.134942 tcpserver: status: 1/40 966035636.135643 tcpserver: pid 29043 from 12.35.161.41 966035636.157743 tcpserver: ok 29043 mail.tandbergapplications.com:12.35.161.8:25 :12.35.161.41::1514 966035636.178186 bash: /home/jobu/.bashrc: Permission denied 966035662.060242 tcpserver: end 29043 status 0 966035662.060274 tcpserver: status: 0/40 Ignore the bash error, it doesn't affect it.. though I wish I could find out what script/etc is trying to execute and causing that error =/ Anyways.. the first is a failed message.. the second is a successful from another unit. What is status 256 ? Thanks -Steve

Well, I didn't know if it will answer your question, but I use a script to post "bulletins" into my users maildirs, and I do that simply creating hard links from the "main" bulletin directory to the Maildirs of my users, and it are working well :) Antonio. +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Antonio S.

4.7.1 error in qmail
I have one person that is inconsistently getting the following error when trying to send mail. mail server responded 4.7.1 please try again later please verfy that your email address is correct in your mail perferences and try again I have searched all my log files and I can't find any mention of this error. I have compared the date and time to when he gets this and I can't see anything wrong on my end. I see in my daemon log that he is verified to send then I look in the maillog for that date and time that connection occured but there is nothing listed being sent. I have the roaming pop feature turned on. Other times he can send with no problem and then others he gets this error. He changes nothing in his setup, just waits a while and then trys again. I am using OpenBSD 2.6, Qmail 1.03, Vpopmail 3.4.11-2-released, ucspi-tcp tcpserver .84 . He is using netscape communicator 4.7 via a aol dialup connection. Many of my other pop3 clients are on various dialup and cable modem systems using netscape and microsoft's mail programs without a problem. Any ideas what is causing this? It is something that is hit and miss. Thanks in adavance, Dale
Re: 4.7.1 error in qmail
I Believe you get this message when you max out your SMTP connection if your are using ucspi tools the default on tcpserver is set to 40.. use the flag -c (# of connections).

logselect
I've released my logselect program as a patch to daemontools-0.70. It's at http://www.qmail.org/logselect-0.70.patch . If you guessed that logselect was used to select parts of a log, you're a happy winner! It's intended to be used in a multi-server environment. By itself it is of little use. It's just a back-end. It needs a client program (as yet unwritten) to be useful. You should patch daemontools, and make/make setup as usual. Then you can create a service whose run file looks like this: #!/bin/sh QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaill` NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaill` exec softlimit -m 200 \ tcpserver -p -x cdb -u QMAILDUID -g $NOFILESGID 0 642 \ /usr/local/bin/xargs -e EOF /usr/local/bin/logselect In addition, the service directory should have symlinks pointing to the log files you wish to make accessible. Then, to fetch logs, you make a connection to port 642, and stuff four lines down the TCP connection. The first line contains the name of the symlink you created. The second contains a TAI64N for the start of the period of interest. The third contains a TAI64N for the stop of the period of interest. The fourth contains the literal string "EOF". All lines in the log file after the start but before the stop will be returned. No provision is made for authorization. I leave that to a theoretically possible authorization add-on to ucspi-tcp. Anyone have any hints on where I should put this documentation? I can release a patch to the code, but it's hard to release a patch to Dan's website without his cooperation in installing it. I wrote the program in Dan's style so that he could incorporate it into a future version of daemontools. -- -russ nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://russnelson.com | If you think Crynwr sells support for free software | PGPok | health care is expensive now 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315 268 1925 voice | now, wait until you see Potsdam, NY 13676-3213 | +1 315 268 9201 FAX | what it costs when it's free.
