Re: Help getting Qmail to run with tcpserver

I've followed all the directions on LWQ, with the exception of Paul Gregg's checkpasswd. Inetd will probably work for me, but I need to setup pop-before SMTP, and I can't seem to get the IP address of the calling client when I run Qmail through inetd. I'm wondering if my startup scripts are wrong, or in the wrong order, etc. I've included all the relevant file contents below, including the inetd lines that work. I'm looking to get tcpserver to work, or finding a way to pass the IP address of the calling client to pass through checkpassword using inetd. I'm on a Sun Sparc 2.6. I no longer run inetd, however I had an hpux machine that couldn't live without running telnetd thru it (FreeBSD does it just fine). That said.. It depends on what you're using for pop before smtp. I'm using smtp-poplock by David Harris (http://www.davideous.com/smtp-poplock/) and have had no problems at all with it.

Mail Protocol Issue: BCC only?
Hi everyone, I asked a few weeks ago about known issues with qmail not delivering BCC messages. After investigating further, the client is claiming that the messages that are not delivered have ONLY a BCC (no to, no cc). In a quick reading of RFC822, it appears that there is some ambiguity to the spec (surprise!)... a "destination" is required, where destination is defined as a To:, CC: or Bcc:. But, it also says that the Bcc: can be put only on the author's copy, or on all Bcc recipients copies, but NOT on To: or CC: recipient copies of the message. It's optional in the first two cases. So, in theory, a message with a BCC only would have no To:, CC:, or Bcc: headers, at least in some cases. Question is, is the message then a "legal" message, or would qmail just drop it since there is no "destination"? I know Dan is a stickler for observing correct protocol (I agree with him), but I'm not sure if this is a bug or "expected behavior". Thanks! -Scott

I don't think that there is such a problem *in general*.
Unfortunately, I don't have your previous message handy.
After investigating further, the client is claiming
that the messages that are not delivered have ONLY a BCC (no to, no
cc). In a quick reading of RFC822, it appears that there is some
ambiguity to the spec (surprise!)... a "destination" is required,
where destination is defined as a To:, CC: or Bcc:. But, it also
says that the Bcc: can be put only on the author's copy, or on
all Bcc recipients copies, but NOT on To: or CC: recipient copies
of the message. It's optional in the first two cases.
Your analysis is correct. The only part of qmail that handles this
is qmail-inject, and it handles this case correctly by always removing
the Bcc: header and inserting a dummy, but valid Cc: header if no
Addresses are left:
if (!htypeseen[H_TO] !htypeseen[H_CC])
puts("Cc: recipient list not shown: ;\n");
The rest of qmail couldn't care less about the contents of
previous headers. qmail will happily deliver an incoming mail with no
headers at all. It will insert its own Received: headers, of course.
The only way I can think of that qmail may drop a Bcc: mail is the
following:
An external Bcc mail comes in without any destination headers and
is fed to some script that tries to reinsert the mail without giving
new destination addresses, but that would be nonsensical, I think.
So, in theory, a message with a BCC only would have no To:, CC:,
or Bcc: headers, at least in some cases. Question is, is the
message then a "legal" message, or would qmail just drop it since
there is no "destination"? I know Dan is a stickler for observing
correct protocol (I agree with him), but I'm not sure if this is
a bug or "expected behavior".
There's also the important point of "being liberal in what you accept".
Could you please (re-)provide some more details, maybe it is a MUA problem.

Slooooooooowwww attachment upload
Howdy, I've sent this problem to the list once before and never got any responses that helped, so I'm trying again. Whenever I send an email (To my Linux server running qmail-ldap) with an attachment, no matter how small, it gets to a certain point, and simply hangs. Here's the kicker though: When I use Linux Netscape as the client, this happens. When I use any Mac based email client, it's still abnormally slow, but it doesn't hang. Eventually it goes.

Re: Slooooooooowwww attachment upload
Yes, I forgot to mention that I have Amavis scanning the emails for virii. But Amavis basically boils down to renaming qmail-remote and qmail-local to qmail-remote-real and qmail-local-real, respectively, and linking the Amavis virus scanner program to qmail-local and qmail-remote. I have conducted tests where I've removed these links and renamed the files back to their original names then restarted qmail, and this has not solved the problem. Since I did not do the original installation of qmail on this machine, I'm not aware of any other filters. Also, the logs don't show anything out of the ordinary. I'm looking through /var/log/maillog. Is there some other log file that might help? I'm somewhat new to qmail. Where would I look for other filters?

A Linux distribution is built up of many separate components, so that each component is developed on its own. So, it doesn't surprise me that there may be newer versions of the login program around. The login program is in a package called ``shadow'', unless you use Debian, in which case I think it's called ``login''. Which distribution (e.g., Debian, Red Hat, SuSE, c) do you use? What is qbiff?

I have a generic qmail-queue-wrapper program. It's written in perl and
in its standard form, does nothing but add another Received header to
the message before calling the real qmail-queue. If you can program in
perl you can get it to do whatever you want. I'm using it to do header
rewrites at one site.
It should be installed with no special permissions
-rwx--x--x qmailq qmail /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue
Program is attached.
You can also have a look at Jason Haar's scan4virus program. It too is
a perl qmail-queue-wrapper. Details at www.qmail.org.

# This program should be used when you wish to manipulate a mail

#- Firstname.Lastname replacements
#- virus scanning
#- anything else you can think of

#
#1) Replace the original qmail-queue with this program:

# cp qmail-queue-wrapper /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue

#Change the value of $qmailqueue below, to reflect the new name of

#2) Recompile qmail with Bruce Guenter's QMAILQUEUE patch. (See
#http://www.qmail.org/qmailqueue-patch). Then any program that
#needs to use this program can be called with the environment
#variable QMAILQUEUE set to /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue-wrapper
#
# How does it work? The interface to the real qmail-queue is simple:
#
# - the body of the message is read from file descriptor 0
# - the envelope details are read from file descriptor 1.
#
# qmail-queue-wrapper also adheres to the same interface. After doing
# whatever manipulations are necessary, it calls the real qmail-queue
# and provides the message body on file descriptor 0 and the envelope
# details on file descriptor 1.
#
# Exit codes conform to those mentioned in the qmail-queue(8) manual page.

queue problem
Hello all. I have a strange problem. I fiddled around with my qmail, and sent a message to a local domain, but the user doesnt exist, and i get a lot of deferal unable to change to mailbox errors!! my question is: how can i delete this message from the quere?? i guess its a simple FAQ, but i cant seem to find it. i see it when i type qmail-qstat i get: messages in queue: 1messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 0when i type qmail-qread i get: 24 Aug 2000 21:19:20 GMT #669258 1819 #@[] local [EMAIL PROTECTED] i want to delete this message!!! how can i do this?? thanks in advance!!

We're meant to deduce what is really in the queue from this? i want to delete this message!!! how can i do this?? You need to use the -d option on the qmail-fiddle command. Don't forget to run it from a special place reserved for people who are especially well suited to using this command. thanks in advance!! The pleasure is all yours. Regards.

Relaying and /control/rcpthosts
Hi; I am trying to setup selective relaying for a client who wants to send email through our Qmail server from his office LAN. I allowed his office IP block in my /etc/tcp.smtp file as follows xxx.yyy.zzz.:allow,RELAYCLIENT="" . . . :allow This I assume this will let him relay as long as he comes from the IP address pool above regardles of what his email address is. But relay fails until I also put his domain in the /control/rcpthosts file! I don't want everybody in his domain to relay just him. How to do that? Thanks Dan
RE: Relaying and /control/rcpthosts
Have you rebuilt the tcp.smtp.cdb file? See the cdb) entry in the qmail rc file in Life With Qmail (links to it in www.qmail.org) for more... /BR Manager InterPlanetary Solutions http://ipsware.com/

You could try a pop before smtp program that you use with qmail. It will in real time add and remove (based on a time limit) ip's to the relay control file for people who have pop accounts your system. The way it works is a person would check their mail which involves their mail client contacting the server's pop daemon. The pop before smtp program would let the user get verified and logged in then record their IP address to the relay file so that when they go to send mail via smtp it will allow his ip address. I have it working with Vpopmail (which is a virtual mail add-on to qmail but also has the above feature) and it works fine. Another program which doesn't do virtual mail it just does the pop before smtp is by Bruce Guenter and can be downloaded and etc from em.ca/~bruceg/relay-ctrl/ . I haven't personally tried it but I have heard it mentioned many times here in the list. Take Care, -- Dale Miracle System Administrator Teoi Virtual Web Hosting
Stupid question. SMTP gateways from dynamic IP.
I've been refused delievery from the qmail program running (from inet.d) on my Linux box to a local ISP - the reason being I was sending from a dialup account with dynamic IP - and mail-abuse.org have decided that this is a bad thing and that I should use a feature called SMTP gateways. Erm, (a) Could someone explain how this works and (b) How I get my qmail prog to use this, so I don't get nasty refused headers from servers. Please, go easy on me...I'll need the idiots guide version to doing this. I do not have a permanent ppp connection - it is up a few hours per day, dynamic IP. Cheers. Baz. -- Barrie J.

virtual domain error.
hi.. I've set up a virtual domain, say domain1. before setting up that virtual domain, I use domain0. I put domain0 in rcpthosts and virtualdomains. but when I try to send an e-mail to domain1 from another machine. it sent to domain0. is there anyone can help me with this?? thx in advance. yusuf
RE: virtual domain error.
Look at vpopmail http://www.inter7.com/vpopmail/ It's the perfect utility to set up vdomains... I would first erase any files you started messing around with. Reset them back to orignal state and then install.. It's almost to simple On 31-Aug-2000 Muhammad Yusuf wrote: hi..

Alias Support Question
I have a QMAIL-alias problem. Can you please show me the way? Thanks! QMAIL Problem Summary I am attempting to setup the postmaster alias, and as the FAQ of the site http://www.flounder.net/qmail/qmail-howto.html instructs me, I have done.

partially local
Hi folks! I would like to know how can I make the address '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' local and to be delivered to the user joe(@localhost). I've tried this config: /users/assign [EMAIL PROTECTED]:joe:503:78:/home/joe::: /control/locals [..] yahoo.com # silly ain't it? /control/rcpthosts [..] yahoo.com /control/virtualdomains fixme:fixup :alias-ppp I don't run a dns server. This way joe gets the message but all the yahoo can't be local, right ;) Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time, Peter BTW I would like to congratulate the person who wrote LWQ. It's the best doc I've ever read.
RE: partially local
Pete, The only way your gonna achieve this is to contact YAHOO (probably at the home page), and set up a dot forward function on that mail account. This will instruct Yahoo to forward the messages bound for [EMAIL PROTECTED] to another mail account (which you will specify). Configuring QMAIL as you are attempting to do will have no effect. DO NOT attempt to research and configure a DNS to approach this problem. Attempting to "masquerade" as YAHOO.COM will get you in a heap of trouble, not to mention cause a lot of trouble on the internet.

It appears you are confusing a mail transfer agent (MTA, e.g. qmail) with a mail delivery agent (MDA, e.g. maildrop or procmail). There's only one other item I can think of in the M's of the e-mail alphabet soup -- that would be a mail user agent (MUA, e.g. mutt or pine). This makes it really unclear what you are really attempting to accomplish; I'm assuming you aren't really trying to replace qmail with maildrop, but this is what it sounds like. -- 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.

Qmail 1.03
Something I have not noticed in many years has started the last few weeks. Qmail has been getting very slow at responding. I also noticed in the logs that it is handling a lot of email that can't be returned(spam.) Is there a way to clear out the old mail if this is the cause. Customers have been receiving a lot of errors that the server has not responded in 60 seconds do they want to wait or stop. Thanks Bob Ross Thanks Bob Ross
