Telnet 110
Hi, my trouble with qmail is that I can't telnet port 110 (connection refused). A complete list of the configuration would be a bit annoying. Any idea at this level of what can be done? Thanks in advance for any suggestion.

OK normally we would like... 1. the line you are using to start the pop3 daemon (and which one you're using) 2. any other files that are being used to run it (eg tcp.smtp) 3. if you are using tcpserver or inetd 4. the log entries (there 99% will be an error in one of the logs when you try telnet) Not much good we can do without this, no matter how annoying it is for you to provide it... /BR Manager InterPlanetary Solutions http://ipsware.com/ -Original Message- From: Marco [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 31, 2000 6:57 PM To: qmail-mailing list Subject: Telnet 110 Hi, my trouble with qmail is that I can't telnet port 110 (connection refused).

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. As far as I know Qmail is a package with a lot of programs like smtpd, popd, MTA, MDA, etc. The only thing I want to change is the MDA for the local messages comming to the final user: qmail-local as default. Vpopmail uses vdelivermail. I want to use maildrop to do that. So every user will have a quota delivery system with filter features. Daniel

ezmlm in loadshared environment over nfs
Hi! We are expanding our server park, and we are going to loadshare services over several machines, and mail is ofcourse one of those services. I can't find any information about how ezmlm would handle this. If two machines are running qmail and ezmlm, qmail will ofcourse have a local queue on each machine, but will ezmlm be able to handle delivering from two machines to the same shared nfs filesystem, or do i need to let only one of the machines handle ezmlm?

Re: clustered qmail solution
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: what does "clustered qmail solution " mean... It means "multiple systems acting as a single system". For example, "aol.com" is not a single, huge 25,000 horsepower server box that handles all of AOL's incoming mail. Instead, "aol.com" points to a list of mail exchangers (MX's), any of which will accept mail for addresses at aol.com. When AOL needs additional incoming SMTP capacity, they can either add new entries to their MX record, or they can upgrade existing systems. Since there are many of them, if one breaks or is down for upgrading or patching, their mail still works. It's also possible to cluster POP and IMAP servers, either with partitioned or shared responsibilities. E.g., you could have two POP servers: one for users whose names start with the letters A-M and another for those starting with N-Z. That spreads the load, but doesn't provide redundancy: if a server is down, some users are unable to access their mail. Alternatively, you can have multiple POP servers accessing a shared high-availability mail store like a network-attached RAID. The RAID is still a single-point-of-failure, but it's designed to minimize downtime. qmail's maildir format is especially well suited to storage on a network-attached RAID since it avoids messy locking problems. -Dave

So after an hour or so of analysis, I noticed that the queue was finally beginning to slowly but steadly drop on its own, and when it dropped to ~1900, some of my own delayed messages arrived, and I assumed the problem was on its way out, so I left it to heal on its own. When this occurs, how many messages does qmail-qstat report as not yet being processed, as opposed to fully processed and in the queue?

RE: Alias Support Question
Dave, Thanks for your reply. 1) Yes - I am defining a virtual domain. 2) Forwarding command in the .qmail-postmaster file. Can you please detail for me what the contents of this file should be? In reading several internet sources, no one agrees on what should be in that file (some say TOUCH the file, some say just put the name in the file, you are saying put a FORWARD in the file).

An empty .qmail file is the same as a .qmail file that contains the defaultdelivery argument from teh qmail-start commad line. Putting a name is the file is telling qmail to forward the mail to that user. If you just specify a username,as you've done, you're essentially forwarding to user@me. So, in your case, where you want to forward to john.doe.jr@organization.com, you want your .qmail file to contain: john.doe.jr@organization.com This is all detailed in the dot-qmail man page. -Dave

Re: capturing emails to unknown users
At the same time, I also want to have the capability of capturing the emails of outside users trying to send emails to unknown users in my system. I want these emails to be routed to my badincoming mailbox. Read the "INSTALL.alias" file that came with qmail's distribution, particularly the last paragraph. Beware that accepting everything like this could lead to a pretty bloated mailbox for the alias account, plus, without additinal tweaking, remote users won't know if their message didn't make it through, since there will never be a bounce message. ---Kris Kelley

It means "multiple systems acting as a single system". For example, "aol.com" is not a single, huge 25,000 horsepower server box that handles all of AOL's incoming mail. Instead, "aol.com" points to a list of mail exchangers (MX's), any of which will accept mail for addresses at aol.com. When AOL needs additional incoming SMTP capacity, they can either add new entries to their MX record, or they can upgrade existing systems. Since there are many of them, if one breaks or is down for upgrading or patching, their mail still works. It's also possible to cluster POP and IMAP servers, either with partitioned or shared responsibilities. E.g., you could have two POP servers: one for users whose names start with the letters A-M and another for those starting with N-Z. That spreads the load, but doesn't provide redundancy: if a server is down, some users are unable to access their mail. Alternatively, you can have multiple POP servers accessing a shared high-availability mail store like a network-attached RAID. The RAID is still a single-point-of-failure, but it's designed to minimize downtime. qmail's maildir format is especially well suited to storage on a network-attached RAID since it avoids messy locking problems. -Dave

relaying going into the bit bucket
First off, I've read the FAQ. :) Basically, I've got relaying set up for a selected range of subnets, using ucspi-tcp. That looks good - attempting to send messages from within the right range allow the RCPT line, remote attempts fail, as expected. The issue is that qmail takes the message from the right host, says ok, and nothing happens with it. Doesn't bounce, get to the destination, anything. Locally spooled mail works fine - I've been using that for a while. I have a feeling it's something extremely simple, but I can't find it. The mail goes in, just never gets queued to be delivered (or something to that effect.) Any ideas? --Matt Sherer --- FREE!

vchkpw
In case anyone on the list is using or is trying to use chkpw/qmailadmin, there is an error in the FAQ. In the section that discusses setting up one of the domains to be a primary it says that in order to configure vchkpw to have one of your virtual domains work like users listed in /etc/passwd (not using %domainname in the username for a pop login) it says the compile option is --enable-roaming-users=domainname The option actually is --enable-default-domain=domainname I don't know if this has already been addressed in this list or in a list for vchkpw, but here is the fix if anyone else has been getting kicked in the ass by this for the past week like i have been.

qmail-lspawn looks for local user?
Does qmail-lspawn look for local user before it calls qmail-local? I've been told that "it is not the job of a mail delivery agent, such as maildrop, to figure out whether a user exists, or not. That's the mail server's job. That's what it's supposed to do. If the recipient mailbox does not exist, the mail server must bounce the message, instead of running a local mail delivery agent for a non-existent account".

Mailbox vs. Maildir
Hi again, I had a situation a while back where qmail was delivering the mail to the location specified in the qmail-start command line (Mailbox, turns out I was using the wrong init script to start qmail) instead of Maildir (Where LDAP and the correct init script tell it to go). When LDAP went down a few times a few weeks ago, the users without a .qmail file in their dir (all were supposed to have this file, which uses ./Maildir) ended up with their mail in the Mailbox file, which pop3 and imapd ignore. Is there any way for me to make this mail available to my users? Sorry if this is the wrong list to post this question. If so, can you please refer me to the correct list?

Re: Mailbox vs. Maildir
Excellent! It's just a perl script so I modified to to run on my box, since all the users are LDAP based (hence, have no environment). Thanks.

Sure. Qmail comes with a mbox2maildir program of it's own, but it's a bit cryptic to use (you can't provide any command line arguments, you have to set 3 environment variables for it to work...). There's several other mbox - Maildir folder format converters around though. The qmail home page probably has links to several, or at least one. If not, I can mail you one or two perl scripts for this which I have archived. Not that I've used them much myself, but they should work... Hope this helps, Mikko -- // Mikko Hänninen, aka.

How to redeliver messages
I have a problem that maybe someone has an answer for... From time to time our mailserver's connection to the net dies. When it does this we switch over to a mirrored server on a different ISP. Works great except from time to time, messages will get "stranded" between the transition. Is there an easy way to "redeliver" the messages in someone's Maildir? I think you could almost do something like this: cat ~user/Maildir/new/* | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject but when I tried it, it didn't work... Also, that would mean I would have to type it for each user on the box. I really think there has to be some way to tie together: ls, grep, cat and some qmail program to list all the mail in the maildirs and reput them in the queue (which would then see it as remote and deliver it to the other box) Thanks, John
RE: How to redeliver messages
With the serialmail package from the Q-Mail's author, there is a program called maildirsmtp, which picks up a Maildir and resends it via SMTP.

Virtual Domains
Hi, I'm trying to set up virtual domains with Qmail right now. I'm sure there's plenty of documentation other there on this, but I don't seem to be finding it. Any pointers to documentation, or help would be appreciated. What I am trying to accomplish is to have [EMAIL PROTECTED] go to user1 and [EMAIL PROTECTED] go to user2. So far, I have been able to set qmail up to allow [EMAIL PROTECTED] to go to user1, and [EMAIL PROTECTED] to go to user1, but not get the same username on different domains to go to differnt system user. Thanks! -Aaron
