xinetd
Hi, I'd like to use qmail with my xinetd but it doesn not work somehow.
If I change to inetd, it works:
/etc/inetd.conf (working):
smtp stream tcp nowait qmaild /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env
tcp-env /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
/etc/xinetd.conf (NOT working):
service smtp
{
socket_type = stream
protocol= tcp
wait= no
user= qmaild
server = /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env
server_args = tcp-env /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
}
Can anyone help me, what should I do?

mail queue
Hi guys , I have some sort of weird problem, I have a client who dials in and gets his mail fromn the mailq, i.e he has a fixed IP address and he uses Mdaemon mail server with the ETRN script, It used to work before and now he is not able to get his mails from the mail queue , what do U think could be the problem, Thanx in advance
How to hold queue until later?
Hi there We are planning on installing a number of RAS boxes around Sydney that dial in from our subsidiaries at preset times and transfer mail that has been held in each location (ie sent from the client but held at the server), and download mail that's waiting to be transferred to that location. This reminds me of UUCP which I have never really dealt with, but does anyone here know how I can implement this I guess 'cron job' to update queues, without actually relying on qmail's automatical deferal? (Since deferal times get longer and longer the more times it fails and we don't want this...). One idea would be to have a single catchall POP account on each side but I'm not sure how I'd even implement this...But any ideas are welcome! Thanks Brett Randall Manager InterPlanetary Solutions http://ipsware.com/

not able to send mails via remote SMTP
Hi, I have strange problems with my SMTP. Local everything is working fine, even pop3 checkpasword are running very good; the only thing is I'm missing to send emails with e.g. the Outlook Express Client (Receiving via pop3 is o.k.) I just checked qmail-show.ctl and found an Option databytes: (Default.) SMTP DATA limit is 0 bytes. and qmqpservers: (Default.) No QMQP servers. (I don't know what that is...) The error message coming fromMS Outlook Express is The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'qmail-tester', Server: '193.168.100.59', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E The ping is working like every other service. Does anybody have a clue or a simple hint for me? The qmail-control-files should be correct so far, too... Thanks. Stef

If you get a SMTP response and prompt, then the problem is with the config of the smtp daemon. If you don't get a response (ie it times out or disconnects immediately), then the problem is either with the process on the machine (qmail-smtpd) or the TCP/IP permissions (ie tcpserver allow/deny hosts). QMQP is irrelevant (qmail queue protocol, not used often). The data limit is also irrelevant (set to 0).

Re: Multiple Mails with qmail-inject
Dave Sill wrote: Martin Sckopke [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: we're using a little script to do some header rewriting. Sorry, that voids your qmail warranty. :-) Thought so, too :-) It is called via .qmail-fixup-default. The output of the script is the fed into qmail-inject, QMAILINJECT=i. Almost everything works as expected, there's just one problem: if a mail is sent to multiple users, EACH of them gets it multiple times. The number of individual mails is equal to the number or receivers. The .qmail-fixup-default script is called n-times and calls qmail-inject n-times (n is the number of receivers), then qmail-inject sends each message n times. If you re-inject the messages N times, wouldn't you expect to receive N copies? Unless your script re-injects it only for that copy's recipient.. Since I haven't been able to find the cause for our problem, I wanted ask once more on the list: The script re-injects a message it gets via std-in to qmail-inject qmail-inject -f $SENDER -- msg But it looks like the script is called multiple times, but by whom? Is this done by qmail-smtpd ? How often does qmail-smtdp queue the message when there are multiple recipients either in CC: or TO: ?? We have this setup running for some years now but recently upgraded hardware, kernel and qmail version. Qmail was 1.01 and is now 1.03. Hardware is Intel, OS is Linux.

SMTP not running
Hi Erwin, Hi Brett, I just switched the SSL-Option (sorry, I forgot...), but the message still appears; now looking like The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'qmail-tester', Server: '193.168.100.59', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): Yes, Socket Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E Bret was right with his clues for I can not telnet to that port, that means qmail refuses me to use the SMTP, that's right? (the local mail-inject-test-procedure is ok, that's why I think so). I just try to reconfigure rcpthosts and locals. Another reason might be, that I'm first sending SMTP (with "my server requires authorization) and check POP3 after that. I just dived into the Mailing List and found people having problems if they check the POP AFTER the SMTP. What do you think about that? Stef

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? 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.

Someone have a bad experience with qmail once.
This was taken straight from the www.orbs.org site. http://www.orbs.org/otherresources.html "Qmail admins: Qmail's current version is insecure by default. Most admins know enough to follow the instructions for securing it before putting qmail into service, however it usually drops ORBS test messages checking for UUCP pathing vulnerabilities - "! pathing" - into the admin mailbox. As ! is a standard network addressing indicator, this can only be charitably described as yet another Qmail bug. Qmail is extremely network unfriendly and has been known to cause effective denial of service attacks on other mailservers in its enthusiasm to deliver as many messages as possible in a short period of time. For this reason it is best reserved for mailing list server purposes only. " Sean Truman[EMAIL PROTECTED]http://www.prodigysolutions.com/

checkpassword ...
Hi. I'm using qmail-1.03 with openldap-1.2.11 and have applied qmail-ldap patch (2701). mail delivery is working fine, but when i tried to configure pop3 i could not find checkpassword (just checkpassword.o). The documentation says qmail-ldaplookup is similar to checkpassword but i still can't figure how to use it. I'm using tcpserver and it works with : /usr/local/bin/tcpserver 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup server_name /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir when i don't user ldap. another question : if the directory where mail should be deliver doesn't exist then it is created based on the mailmessagestore attribute in the ldap db and then the Maildir is created. which maildirmake is used for creating this Maildir? this is because i also need to use courier-imap which comes with it's own maildirmake. thanks in advance juan calderon
Cyrus - Qmail Help.
Hi, I'm having a few problems setting up cyrus and qmail. Qmail is currently being started with: qmail-start '|preline -f /usr/local/cyrus/bin/deliver - e -a $USER -- $USER' splogger qmail Delivery of mail to valid mailboxes works fine. But if a message is sent that doesn't have a valid user, it just gets dumped into the mail queue. (So, I assume qmail doesn't recognize that cyrus gave it an error message.) I also had to relax permissions of the above deliver program so it could be executed. I'm getting the below error message in my logs.

OTOH, you can use tcpserver to set a DATABYTES environment variable to set different limits based on the source IP address of the connection. (The value of the DATABYTES environment variable, if set, will override the value of control/databytes, allowing you to use control/databytes as a default and DATABYTES env. var. for any exceptions) Regards, james -- James Raftery (JBR54) - Programmer Hostmaster - IE TLD Hostmaster IE Domain Registry - www.domainregistry.ie - (+353 1) 706 2375 "Managing 4000 customer domains with BIND has been a lot like herding cats." - Mike Batchelor, on [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Debian GNU/Linux (potato) Packages: var-qmail
Updated Debian GNU/Linux (potato) packages for testing:
The var-qmail tree I announced on Mon, Jun 19, 2000 seems to be good.
I splitted the not yet released projects daemontools and ucspi-tcp, the
packages named so no longer contain any documentation. The man-pages are
available in daemontools-doc and ucspi-tcp-doc. Also daemontools no longer
provides a service directory or an init script. This work is done by
daemontools-run. qmail-run now depends on daemontools-run.
Beware, these debian-packages are unofficial, just for testing, please help
to get them approved by D.J. Bernstein.
o qmail_1.03-0.5_i386.deb
o dot-forward_0.71-0.2_i386.deb
o fastforward_0.51-0.3_i386.deb
o qmail-run_0.0.6_i386.deb
o daemontools_0.70-0.7_i386.deb
o daemontools-run_0.0.1_i386.deb
o daemontools-doc_0.70-1_i386.deb
o ucspi-tcp_0.88-0.5_i386.deb
o ucspi-tcp-doc_0.88-1_i386.deb
All these packages together set up qmail as mail-transfer-agent on Debian
potato.
Debian/potato users: Please test these packages and take a look if they
comply with http://cr.yp.to/qmail/dist.html and
http://cr.yp.to/qmail/var-qmail.html , they may go into woody later.
Download:
ftp://ftp.innominate.org/pub/pape/Debian/unofficial/{source,binary-i386}/
Or just add

to /etc/apt/sources.list .

[OT]Mail::* Perl modules to validate email address (RFC822)
hello, sorry for the OT, but I guess/hope the knowledge I'm looking for is not completely unrelated to this particular list, and I'm not aware of any Perl-email related mailing list. I'm trying to validate an email address as per RFC822, and, even though I've seen a lot of quick'n'dirty regexps to do so, I'd like to use actually RFC compliant code, known to work. Right now I'm perusing the Mail::* modules (docs and code), just grabbed from CPAN, looking for validating code, and finding none whatsoever. Has anyone experience with this modules? As far as I can see, they are too high-level for what I'm looking for. Or maybe I'm wrong? martin

Russ' rblsmtpd test robots.
I just implemented rblsmtpd using the MAPS DUL. I sent a message off to Russ' testing bot and received the following reply: == Testing your DUL block. See http://www.crynwr.com/spam/ for more info Could not connect to 216.243.128.132: Connection timed out Attempting to run traceroute. If the traceroute fails persistently, then it's likely that the ISP where it fails is subscribed to the BGP3 version of the RBL, and is blocking RBL'ed hosts at the IP level. You should ask if that is indeed what they are doing. If so, then you do not need to use DNS blocking of the RBL. == My question concerns the "Connection timed out" message. Does this mean that it literally was a time out? Or will it give that message as well if it receives the 553 from rblsmtpd? (I'm running it with -b) We are not running the BGP version of DUL...

I got hit with some heavy relay hacks last week and I've just learned about qmail's natural defense against unauthorized relay. The installation appears good -- qmail-lint reports no problems. I can send messages from one internal system to any other internal system, and mail to my domain users is received properly. Also, if I use "echo to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject", a message is delivered with no problems. However, when I try to use a standard UMA like pine, or Netscape, I get the popular "sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts" message. I read the threads here and added entries to /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/tcp.smtp as outlined. But, the errors still occur. Oh, and no errors are sent to postmaster. Of course, I've restarted inetd and qmail. What am I missing? Tim Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Dan's rbldns and the relays.mail-abuse.org domain
As has been discussed recently on the qmail list, the RSS people have stopped providing TXT records for the relays.mail-abuse.org zone, which breaks rblsmtpd. It's been reported that they were having problems with the size of the zone; I imagine that this means thatBIND was having problems with the size of the zone. As an experiment, I AXFRed a copy of the relays.mail-abuse.org zone, formatted it for rbldns, and compiled it into a cdb with rbldns-data. I added a line that said: :127.0.0.2:553 Open relay problem - see http://www.mail-abuse.org/cgi-bin/nph-rss?$ which is all that's required for rbldns to return the appropriate A and TXT records. The whole cdb is only 1,276,699 bytes, which hardly seems unmanageable. Does anyone feel like doing periodic transfers of the RSS zone, running a little script to put it in the right format, and publishing it with rbldns as a test? I may do it myself if I can scare up an extra IP address. Chris

patch: ucspi-tcp-mysql.0.88.tar.gz
Hey all, I ran into some problem today on a couple of my own servers I went to implement vpopmail enable roaming users. Well short story I ran into NFS file locking problems trying to share the tcp.smtp. Here is a patch for ucspi-tcp-0.88 This patch will check mysql relay table first. and then it will check the cdb file. the cdb file overrides all mysql returns.(Good for pop-3 to smtp authenication.). tcpserver can be started with new flag (-m) like /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -m -v -x /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd If you are running vpopmail 4.8.7 and would like the patch for roaming users to work off of database only please let me know. I have the patch available. patch location: http://www.prodigysolutions.com/ucspi-tcp-mysql.0.88.tar.gz Sean Truman [EMAIL PROTECTED]http://www.prodigysolutions.com/
RE: split local domain addressing
Yes, well that is how I would have set it too, and it would be nice if I hadn't inherited a system with a rather sizable amount of users already installed, is there a way to acheive the same thing using aliases or such?

Yep. Let's say your two domains are domain1.com and domain2.com. domain1.com will be local and domain2.com will be virtual. In control/virtualdomains you have: domain2.com:alias-domain2 Let's say that the user name "bob" exists in both domain1.com and domain2.com, and that you'd like to deliver the mail to different places. There are no other conflicting names. In ~alias/.qmail-domain2-bob you'd have: bob2 or wherever you'd like mail addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to go. In ~alias/.qmail-domain2-default you'd have: | forward "$DEFAULT"@domain1.com That'll send all non-bob mail to a regular local user. This way domain2.com is almost a local domain, with the exception of bob. Chris
Re: split local domain addressing - similar question.
hi all, just a question similar to this split local domain addressing issue. domain1.com.au and domain2.com.au are both locally delivered domains. [EMAIL PROTECTED] is a functioning mailbox. [EMAIL PROTECTED] is to go elsewhere. in the ~sales/.qmail file i have put: |/var/qmail/bin/condredirect [EMAIL PROTECTED] [ `echo "$RECIPIENT" | tr A-Z a-z` = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ] can anyone else think of a better of way of doing this? its the only way i have found to do it so far.

No, but Mail::Address [1] or RFC::RFC822::Address [2] are you sure? I've been looking at Mail::Address and found nothing in its code that hinted of ay validation. It looked like an 'address book' mechanism, that built objects with a human-readable name and an address, and provided a few functions on that. Not much more, and certainly not any validation I could see. OK. I didn't check if it explicitly had a function called "validate" but I checked the source of both these packages and both are able to _parse_ such an address. as per `perldoc perlfaq9` there's no realiable way to tell a functioning email address from a functioning diesel engine until you actually send it. You _can_ tell if it's well formed. But on the other hand, all these addresses are valid: %20 + [EMAIL PROTECTED] or alternatively "%20 + %20"@x42.com "\@x42.comor alternatively "\"\\"@x42.com at@at@[EMAIL PROTECTED] or alternatively "at@at@at"@x42.com You can also do a MX check to see if there is a receiving party at all for the domain mail. What you cannot check is whether the receiving party likes the local part (or accepts mail whatsoever, the MX may be misleading) or not. /magnus -- http://x42.com/

In the dns record of each domain you can put the MX name of the box running qmail/vpopmail. What I have done on my box is run several domains with qmail/vpopmail but in the MX entry for each domain I put the name of the name of the box running qmail/vpopmail. When the smtp server needs to deliver mail it looks up that domains MX record then it will in order of preference starting at the lowest number (normally 10 then 20, 30, etc what ever the numbering sequence is) and tries the next highest and so on. The sending smtp server will not care it is delivering mail for abcd.com to wxyz.com, just as long as the MX for abcd.com says to use wxyz.com 's mail server. I hope that wasn't to confusing if it was. To put it in a nutshell, use the mail server box running the vpopmail/qmail for the various domains as the mx for each domain. The mail servers will sort out what mail goes where once they get it. As for your other problem I had the same problem but only for local delivered mail. I sent a message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and would get returned because it couldn't find the that person BUT if a person outside of thisdomain.com would send an e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] it would go through fine. I was using a simular setup to you where I had my domain teoi.net as the main domain and then the other virtual domains. I had problems with pop3 mail retrieval and delivering mail from a local user to another local user. What I did was recompile vpopmail with the following settings making my domain a virtual domain along with the rest of them. After I did that I was able to send mail locally and my pop3 problem went away. These are the settings I used, you probably need to edit the directories for your system, I am using OpenBSD 2.6 . ./configure --enable-roaming-users=y --enable-relay-clear-minutes=120 --enable-ucspi-dir=/usr/src/ucspi-tcp-0.84 --enable-logging=e --enable-tcpserver-file=/var/qmail/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp --enable-qmaildir=/var/qmail --enable-tcprules-prog=/usr/local/bin/tcprules After I recompiled and setup my domain as a virtual domain along with the rest every worked finewell I did have a problem with the roaming user but that ended up being a file permission / ownership problem. I hope this helps you out. I know I had quite a time with it till I converted to completely virtual which works fine. All mail is in one directory tree sorted automatically by domain. Take Care, Dale
i can't get started?
i hope i am doing this right? please excuse a newcomer to the linux/qmail scene after 20 years with PCs/DOS/Win, i am now trying to help with something completely new system is a PC with RedHat ver 6.2 trying to install qmail, with LWQ in left hand and mouse in right hand files are qmail-1.03,ucspi-tcp-0.88,daemontools-0.70 generally found the LWQ very hand-holding, but having got to the end (page 23) cannot get qmail to run on reboot, the start-up screens show: starting qmail execvp - no such file or directory ??? what worries me is that the history page for daemontools show that some time back execvp was replaced with pathexec, .is this the problem? also i am concerned that even though the 'qmail' startup script just starts, the check of the PATH does not show /var/qmail/bin ?? if i try and start qmail manually, with /var/qmail/rc, i get some messages that say thattalk abour CNAME not working ?? sooo many questions! (i would have never got this far without LWQ, i found the HOWTO was too brief for a newcomer) if anyone can unravel the above it would be greatly appreciated len (the old guy)

(the local mail-inject-test-procedure is ok, that's why I think so). I just try to reconfigure rcpthosts and locals. Did you do anything to set up qmail-smtpd? It doesn't get set up by itself; you need to configure either inetd or tcpserver to listen for SMTP connections. Chris What you can try to do is telnet from the box that is running qmail but telnet to 127.0.0.1 (localhost) on port 25 and see what happens. I had this problem with mine, I could telnet locally via local host but could not from a pop client. Re-name (temporarly) any permit and deny rules, run qmail smtp under inetd (to rule out tcpservers own permit and deny policies) and also check your qmail directory where your rcpthosts and other related files are (normally control). Make sure the names of the boxes you want to talk to server is there. Also check the services file to make sure it is correct. I was using outlook to test qmail back when I was setting it up because I didn't want to add an account to my netscape. I know I wasn't running ssl so I couldn't figure out the error so I finally setup netscape (added another user in addition to mine) and it told me the server wasn't responding. Another thing that could be happening is make sure sendmail or any other server is running other then qmail's. Let me know what you find. Take Care, Dale

Mail relaying is when a smtp server is asked to send mail to another smtp server normally from a mua like pine, or netscape's mail, etc. That is how an open relay'ing' (or spam) is performed. An smtp client from an outside domain sends an e-mail to an smtp server for it to deliver else where. With the mail relaying setup correctly if a system doesn't know a client it will not talk to it which means no mail is accepted to be sent. www.palomine.net/qmail/selectiverelay.html Take Care, Dale
