TNEF File Help
Dear All qmail Gurus, I got this error in my qmail outgoing log. (I'm using qmail 1.03 on Redhat 6.2) delivery : failure: Seems_not_to_be_a_TNEF_file / .. / and sometime delivery : success: Seems_not_to_be_a_TNEF_file / .. / What is the TNEF file ? Is it some format from ms outlook ? (sorry for my stupid) What should I do ? THX. Joomy.
using /control/relayclients and /control/relaydomains instead of setting RELAYCLIENT
i`d like to use the qmail control files relaydomains, relayclients and rcpthosts instead of setting RELAYCLIENT with tcpserver how do i set up these files, what syntax is used in them ??? i tried to insert one subnet 192.168.3. in both files and hosts in relayclients but id didn't work out as i hoped
IMAP Servers
I've successfully gotten qmail working on a test bed, (RedHat 6.2 for Intel), and I've also installed, an IMAP server (Courier).and gotten it to work. But it's occurred to me to ask, what IMAP servers are the members of this group using? A requirement is that the IMAP allow for hierarchical folders (i.e. folders within folders). That leaves out the UW IMAP server. In fact, since I only got it working today and have yet to complete testing, I haven't established that Courier meets that requirement.

I've often wondered about this myself. The message in question, containing as it does a bare linefeed, can *never* be accepted. So why suggest to the sending host with a 451 code that it might have better luck if it tried to send the exact same message again later? Chris

Why not permanent failure code for bare LF?
I understand why qmail rejects messages containing a bare LF. My question is, why does it give SMTP result code 451 (indicating temporary failure) instead of a code to indicate permanent failure? Sending that same message will fail every time, will it not? I am just curious about the rationale. Thanks! - Pat

Yes, well, in my experience the cons of blocking null senders far outweigh the pros. The vast majority of spam is sent with forged addresses, or take-your-pick blasted free email provider addresses. I've been trying to convice once particular NT ISP here in Oregon of this fact for nearly three years. How they can allow their users to send lots of mail--to such places as AOL, any network for that matter that has external mail gateways that forward to internal hosts--and when it bounces NOT know about it is beyond me. I think it must just be ignorance of how SMTP works. Aaron

Routing qmail through a gateway
I'm tring to make a internal qmail server route through a gateway running sendmail. I've added :[192.168.1.1] to /var/qmail/control/smtproutes which is the inside ip address of the gateway running sendmail. When I send mail to the qmail server, I get the following error, deferral: Connected_to_192.168.1.1_but_connection_died._(#4.4.2)/ Mail from the Internet is routed to the qmail server correctly and I can send mail from smtp client on the network through the gateway. I'm not sure what to look for. I don't see any info in the logs of the gateway. thanks,
RE: tcpserver return codes
Hey John, is your mail client and What's Up Gold on the same machine? If not, your tcpserver might not be open to relaying from the What's Up Gold machine. If they are both on the same machine and the email client works, then I'm going to guess that What's Up Gold tries to send email with lines or blank lines that are not terminated with which qmail dumps off for whatever reason. I had some cgi scripts that just did a carriage return after each line while building the header of the email message and they resulted in a status=256 from tcpserver when trying to send. Fortunately they were perl so I just edited them and fixed the problem, you might not have such luck with What's Up Gold. You might be able to request a fix for that from IPSwitch though if that is the problem because the is a reasonable request. Any chance you have some type of packet sniffer to watch what it's sending?

Re: i can't get started?
I had this same problem a couple weeks ago and ended up redoing the box, running through qmail exactly. A few things to make sure you did: 1. The text editor you were using to create the scripts may be creating dos-compatible text files. I hate to recommend this to a self-proclaimed newbie, but try using vi/vim to create the files. Also, make sure that the files are EXACTLY the same as they show in LWQ. 2. There are certain permissions that need to be set on some of the files and directories for it to work properly. Most of these relate to the supervise functions. Try recreating these files/directories and detailed in LWQ. 3. It may just save you time to simply telnet into the box and copy and paste from LWQ to the telnet session, in order to keep human error. Try cutting and pasting all commands into the telnet window to run them. For scripts, run `vi scriptname`, press 'i', paste the scripts contents, press 'Esc : w q Enter'. This will paste in the script exactly as worded in LWQ but still keep the proper Unix End-of-Line characters. - Original Message - From: Len Scotney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, August 15, 2000 12:18 AM Subject: 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) > >

Re: Logs - rotate, archive... ?
On the box that we have here, every six hours a cron script goes into the send log directory and grabs all the non-current logs. It then concatenates them into on and sends them through a couple of components of qmailanalog. We have a couple specific accounts that need to be kept track of so the translated log messages relating to them get a "To:" line added to the top with an address and are sent through inject to the people who need them. The rest are sent to me so I can track problems. Then the concatanated logs are gzipped and dumped into a directory that, every so often, gets put onto a colorado tape and stashed away for records.

I don't think you'll get many responses to this; some/many/most of the people on this list are of the opinion that knowing how to apply a patch file to a source tree is a prerequisite for being a mail administrator. However, for a brief explanation... A patchfile describes a set of changes to one or more files. Typically these are text files (source code and/or documenation, etc). The utility 'patch' can read these files and apply the changes to copies of the original files. In this case, the patch file contains changes from the original qmail (no capital 'q') source tree, and the version which supports LDAP or MySQL, depending on what you're looking for. The way to use them is to download the qmail sources, unpack the tarball, download the patch file, and apply the patch to the now-modified qmail source tree. Then compile and install the newly-built LDAP- or MySQL-capable qmail binaries on your system. For more details, see `man patch` and any competent system administrator's guide.

It is designed to look after a collection of users mail directories in a scalable manner, enabling delivery and collection of mail to a hashed directory structure. The hashed directory structure is designed on the basis of using shared back-end storage for multiple front-end qmail boxes: these back-ends would typically use NFS to reach the back end(s) - e.g. using Network Appliance machines, or Quantum SnapServers. Multiple back-ends and/or multiple front-ends are possible. The package comes with various utilities to add users and aliases. I've tried to keep it as lightweight as possible (to be fast and secure). It's designed to be used with a separate authentication system - e.g. from a cdb file or using a database. Thus to add a user you will also have to ensure they are added to the authentication system chosen. This is not a beginners package - you should have some appreciation of the problems of running larger qmail systems before attempting to use this. It's alpha-release software: Take all relevant precautions. Anyway, if you're interested, take a look, http://www.tic.ch/e-image/hashing/qmail-hashing21Aug00.tar.gz I'm very keen to receive any feedback - bug-reports, feature-requests, comments, what-does-that-means etc There is one problem/bug I'm distinctly concerned about in this package; all thoughts particularly welcome: The delivery mechanism used by the package calls qmail-local (to avoid re-inventing the wheel). It can therefore use .qmail files (these do work). Unfortunately if you have two .qmail files pointing at each other (user1's .qmail file says &user2; user2's .qmail file says &user1), you end up with a mail loop. I also can't think of a snazzy name for it... any suggestions? cheers, Andrew Richards. PS: I'm on holiday for a week until 30th August, so I won't be replying to any mail until then.

cannot connect to smtp or pop service
Hello, First a picture of my network arrangement: I have a box called "earth" which does IP masquerading for my local network. "Earth" also does my http, ftp, smtp (qmail), and pop3 (qmail) service. (I'd like to move the gateway functions to another box, but haven't got a suitable one yet.) I have another box called "kindling" which is my print server and the repository of all my e-mail user functions. This box is also running qmail. "Kindling" is on the local network and uses "earth" as a gateway. I have just moved e-mail user functions here from "earth." Everything seems to work except smtp and pop on "earth". qmail on "kindling" logs an error that it could not connect to smtp service (on "earth") when I try to send mail to "earth." But I can send mail anyplace else. fetchmail simply hangs when trying to pop mail from "earth", but succeeds in fetching from other servers. (I have to use fetchmail because I don't see how I can do pop via ssh with the alternative that's been recommended here.) The nmap program reports that both services are available (on area66-1.dsl.speakeasy.net). "Kindling" and "earth" are defined as kindling.parts-unknown.org and earth.parts-unknown.org in /etc/hosts. (Network Solutions hasn't gotten this domain properly pointed yet.) I doubt I've given you all the information you need. What else should I be looking at and (presumably) telling you? -- David Benfell [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ 59438240 [e-mail first for access] --- There are no physicists in the hottest parts of hell, because the existence of a "hottest part" implies a temperature difference, and any marginally competent physicist would immediately use this to run a heat engine and make some other part of hell comfortably cool.

RE: CHANGING INETD
> Anyway, while on this thread it has occurred to me to ask > why put qmail in either inetd or tcpserver? Why not run > it as a daemon? 1) If it ran as its own daemon, it would require root privileges to bind to port 25. When it is spawned by tcpserver, the amount of code requiring root privileges is smaller, and therefore less of a security risk. This is a security feature. 2) One could argue that daemons require much more care for cleaning up memory use and buffer use, so that a) information isn't leaked between two users and b) memory leaks don't impact the system. Note that the Apache daemons are discarded over time to avoid these dangers. By spawning one process per message, this is not an issue. (One might argue that djb's code is small and tight enough to trust. One might also argue that good design is still good design even if you trust the coder). -- gowen -- Greg Owen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: assign problem supplemental
Clemens, I think it must be .qmail files you're lacking - and that may be a better solution for you to use. Anyway, with your existing plan, with a users/assign as follows, +allesrabe-de-:usera:555:100:/home/usera:-:: =allesrabe-de-info:userb:666:100:/home/userb::: [EMAIL PROTECTED] goes to /home/userb, where it will look for delivery instructions, or failing that it'll use the default delivery instructions. [EMAIL PROTECTED] will go to /home/usera, where it *needs* delivery instructions - i.e. if you have a Maildir there, create a .qmail-default file to point to it (or just touch .qmail-default if Maildir/ is your default delivery). Alternatively to this, you could have a users/assign +allesrabe-de-:usera:555:100:/home/usera:-:: and in /home/usera, have .qmail files corresponding to your 5 specified users, thus .qmail-info .qmail-user1 .qmail-user2 each of which can point to a (different if you like) Maildir or whatever. With this approach bounces should be generated for any user @allesrabe.de that isn't info, user1 or user2. If you want to catch these deliveries in a catch-all .qmail file, use .qmail-default, also in /home/usera. Other things to check: Ownership of Maildirs, home directories, .qmail files. Also have you run qmail-newu after changing users/assign? You mentioned that you were having problems with bounces but seeing no log messages: Perhaps you're not logging qmail output. The simple way would be in your startup, to change from (e.g.), exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \ qmail-start ./Maildir/ to, exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH" \ qmail-start ./Maildir/ splogger qmail - and check that 'mail' is dealt with in /etc/syslog.conf somehow - that's where you'll find the log. ...but read up on things like multilog for less disk-intensive logging (daemontools package). cheers, Andrew. -- From: Clemens Hermann[SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 21 August 2000 13:34 To: Qmail Mailinglist Subject:assign problem supplemental Hi, seems as If my description did not get the point of my problem.

Did you replace
/usr/sbin/sendmail
or
/usr/lib/sendmail
with a link to
/var/qmail/bin/sendmail
? If not, do it.
The eMails should be in the sendmail queue still ... so you might want
to move your or sendmail to sendmail.old an do a
/usr/{sbin,lib}/sendmail.old -q
to get them delivered.

There are several reasons why this is done, usually amounting to "security through obscurity". Sometimes an SMTP server on a non-standard port is run as an open relay, so remote customers can forward outgoing mail through it. Sometimes spam checking, size limits, or other policies are waived for an odd-port SMTP server. Len. -- Why is modularity ``wholly unreasonable''? -- Dan Bernstein

The system we use is large and complex, and the documentation just to help us understand it already totals 13 pretty intensive pages, not including the prerequisite readings which is the NIS and NFS HOWTO's, and also presuming some knowledge from the NET-3 HOWTO, the qmail FAQ, Life with qmail... So our system is big and to even begin to explain how it works is pretty complex. For your situation, unless you REALLY want to redesign your whole mail strategy, then I would recommend either delivering mail 'locally' to a folder which is actually an NFS share from the mailhost (ie in assign/users or /etc/passwd, the home folder on mail.domain.com would be, say, /nfs/user which is ACTUALLY stored on mailhost1.domain.com.) This SHOULD work with LDAP. No guarantees though, I use NIS. If this is too complex then otherwise use aliases (.qmail files or fastforward) as stated previously. /BR Manager InterPlanetary Solutions http://ipsware.com/ > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, August 21, 2000 5:51 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: urgent help required > > > > hi brett > > Thanks a lot for guiding me in the right direction , > > my ldap entries are as follows > > mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > HomeDirectory : /home/user > qmailuid : 1010 ( uid of system user same for all the users as well as > same as ~control/ldapuid ) > qmailgid :1010 (gid of system same for all the users as well > as same as > ~control/ldapgid ) > >mailhost : server1.domain.com ( this is the mechine where i want to > store mails for users in their respective maildir ) > >i will have 2-3 mechines on which i have installed qmail that i want to > specify as a value for mailhost attribute depending on diff users list, > > > > now my MX = mail.domain.com, local = empty , rcpt = domain.com > if some one sent a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] , then > now i want that after accepting the mails from internet this mechine ( my > MX=mail.domain.com ) will check ldap entries for users ,and will get value > of mailhost attribute which in this case is server.domain.com ,which is > the mailhost for perticular mail id/user , so that ,this mechine > (MX=mail.domain.com) will send that mail to server1.domain.com which has > the /home/user/Maildir > > server1.domain.com , local=domain.com ,rcptto=domain.com > > > is this possible ? how ? am i thinking in right direction , > > any way what is the fuction of Mailhost attribute in qmail-ldap senerio > , how exactly it effects qmail ? > > > thanks a lot , once again > regards > Prashant Desai > > >

Re: qmail uses FQDN when sending from PHP
Jim, Hmm. It's not clear where your confusion lies. However, you may like to set control/defaulthost (that's normally /var/qmail/control/defaulthost); here's the section of the qmail-inject man page: . defaulthost .Default host name. Default: me, if that is supplied; .otherwise the literal name defaulthost, which is .probably not what you want. qmail-inject adds this .name to any address without a host name. defaulthost .need not be the current host's name. For example, .you may prefer that outgoing mail show just your .domain name.
RE: FW: qmail domain heiarchy
> Hint: > > smtp and pop3 are not valid answers. If implemented well, and smartly, they can work (as I have done)...took me about three weeks, but the system is secure, efficient, low bandwidth and user-friendly. For internal mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], the e-mail is attempted to be sent locally. If not possible, it is sent to our main relay. This in itself cuts down bandwidth. External mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] is sent to our main relay, which then delivers the mail via NFS to a user as if it was local. Save the extra Delivered-to and relay lines in the mail. Less bandwidth, less confusion. The system is fairly complex in setup, but it is modulised so if something goes wrong, it is easy to hunt it down...

RE: SMTP port 25
Running on anything other than port 25 is pretty silly considering that all applications and all mail relays attempt to deliver to port 25 on every mail server in the world...Internally, you could do it, but why? If you need to proxy port 25 to some other port, try searching on freshmeat for redir (what we use). We have one machine here which our router routes all internet viewable IP addresses to (it has an internal IP address which the router refers to, and the ethernet interface accepts packets for all the IP addreses we use (running Linux). ie eth0 would be 10.0.0.2, eth0:1 would be 99.99.99.1, eth0:2 would be 99.99.99.2, etc), and we can control what ports on what IP addresses go where internally (so everything else is virtually closed and secure). This also means that if we need to change a machine's functionality or move a mail server to a different machine, we can simply change an IP address on our port forwarding machine and its done - no external DNS and TTL hell to live through... You COULD alternately try ipmasqadm with ipchains but I haven't had any luck with port forwarding this yet... /BR Manager InterPlanetary Solutions http://ipsware.com/ > -Original Message- > From: Lavender [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, August 22, 2000 4:19 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: SMTP port 25 > > > > Hi, > > Just wonder if anybody had successfully run SMTP on port other than the > defined 25 ??? > > Is there a proxy for SMTP > > Thanks > kayleigh > > >

RE: friends very urgent help required
Prashant, I'd echo Brett's sentiment - whatever advice you get from this list is free, so I think its readers don't appreciate message that hassle them. Anyway, another approach, depending on your setup (as Brett says, you're not helping by not telling us much about your setup), you may wish to configure the Internet-visible (MX) machine to accept mail for domain.com (i.e. put this in rcpthosts), but not attempt to deliver it locally (i.e. ensure the domain is *not* in locals or virtualdomains). Then have this MX machine use a private DNS which has MX entries for your "Real" mail servers. Alternatively, you can use smtproutes to point to *one* real mail server only. A machine like this is basically an SMTP relay for domain.com. I suspect Dave Sill's Life with qmail (see the qmail web page) touches on this subject. cheers, Andrew. -- From: Brett Randall[SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 21 August 2000 09:56 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; qmail Subject:RE: friends very urgent help required OK I will reply but the reason noone else has ie largely because of the time in most of the world at the moment, and the fact that you included virtually NO configuration information (eg what is in virtualdomains, locals, rcpthosts, sample LDAP entry, sample users/assign entry...all of these help out somewhat). BEST way of doing this as far as I can see (I have never used LDAP, only NIS which IMHO is a little easier to understand and implement, albeit insecure by default) is to not even have those system users on your main server. Have aliases (either use .qmail-user files or fastforward) forward to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and MAKE SURE that server.domain.com is NOT listed in locals, and IS listed in rcpthosts (you need to receive for that domain so you can relay it, but if it is in locals then you will get that error described below where it says mailbox not found). Also - qmail will probably do an MX lookup on server.domain.com to see where to deliver mail to (depends how you've set qmail up). If it does, then you will need an 'A' entry in your DNS to point to server.domain.com as the MX record for server.domain.com. Otherwise just set up qmail to send using FQDN (sorry, I can't remember how...It is in one of the FAQs or HOWTOs or docs on www.qmail.org).

So I applied the RFC2487 patch from Frederik Vermeulen, and it works really well from what testing I've done at allowing SSL tunnels between MTAs. I haven't had any problems with that functionality. Now I'm trying to use the client authentication aspect of the patch to provide for authenticated relaying. The good news is that it works great with Netscape Communicator. The bad news is that I can't make Outlook Express work at all. The really bad news is that I /need/ Outlook Express to work. For starters, if there's interest I could probably be persuaded to write up a HOWTO on how I got all this configured and [mostly] working. But for now here's my setup and the problem I'm running into: Let me start by saying that my goals here do not include digital signatures on my outgoing mail for verification purposes. All I wanted to do was to open my relay to roaming users who are forced to work under ISPs that enforce (IMO) draconian From header policies. (I understand their arguments, but *I* wouldn't pay for that kind of service.) I don't really like the POP before SMTP concept, its not that it wouldn't work for me, its just that using TLS seemed so much cooler. I haven't tried the "Authenticated" SMTP patches, I get the feeling that those methods aren't really standards drivin. (anyone?) So that being said ... I've managed to cook myself up my own CA. I added this cert to Netscape's and IE's known root authorities. I then proceeded to cook up a self signed cert for qmail. No probs there, infact I can send mail over SSL from my private network which is allowed to relay through my masquerading firewall/mail server. So then I added my CA's cert to control/clientca.pem, I figure as I only want people I've OK'd to relay through me the only CA I'll verify is my own. I added my email address to control/tlsclients as per directions from Fredrik's patch. Next I cooked up a personal cert for me (signed by my CA), converted it to pkcs#12, and installed it into Netscape's personal cert db, then into IE's. "Simple" right? Next I tried to send a message from each client. Navigator pops up this quaint little window that says "The site 'audible.transient.net' has requested a client authentication." Then it lets you inspect the server's cert, choose a client cert of your own, and continue or cancel. Pretty slick... it'd be nice if it didn't ask me which cert to use every time I sent a message, but then seeing as it actually works I'm not going to complain too loudly. The message gets relayed correctly, the headers include information about the encryption and relay user exactly like Frederik said they would. Outlook Express (5.50.4133.2400) however just craps itself with the following: Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Subject 'microsoft sucks', Account: 'testing', Server: 'audible.transient.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): Yes, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F The error number (from the M$ knowledge base) is like "connection closed" or something like that. When I turn on Outlooks SMTP logging I see: SMTP: 07:08:39 [rx] 220 audible.transient.net ESMTP SMTP: 07:08:39 [tx] EHLO stinkfoot SMTP: 07:08:39 [rx] 250-audible.transient.net SMTP: 07:08:39 [rx] 250-PIPELINING SMTP: 07:08:39 [rx] 250-STARTTLS SMTP: 07:08:39 [rx] 250 8BITMIME SMTP: 07:08:39 [tx] STARTTLS SMTP: 07:08:39 [rx] 220 ready for tls SMTP: 07:08:39 [tx] HELO stinkfoot SMTP: 07:08:39 [rx] 250 audible.transient.net SMTP: 07:08:39 [tx] MAIL FROM: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> SMTP: 07:08:39 [rx] 250 ok SMTP: 07:08:39 [tx] RCPT TO: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> And thats it. Thats the last thing in the log, which makes me think that perhaps Outlook Express just can't handle the client cert negotiation and bombs out? I don't really know. Seeing as its all encrypted by that point I can't really sniff the wire. So the question of the day - has anyone else run into this, and more importantly figured out a way around it? Frankly I think TLS authenticated relays would be an incredibly snazzy way to handle roaming users, if only I could make it work with the mail clients that would be using it! -- Jamie Heilman http://wcug.wwu.edu/~jamie/ "It's almost impossible to overestimate the unimportance of most things." -John Logue
