Environment Variables represent original recipient address
Hi,
I host a domain name, say, "myfirstdomain" at
a webhosting company that has "catch-all"
e-mail feature. So, any email send to
"anyname@myfirstdomain" will be forwarded to
"othername@myotherdomain" (a qmail alias
at myotherdomain).
I have full access to myotherdomain.
I would like to forward the incoming emails from
myfirstdomain to "othername-anyname@myotherdomain"
( In ~alias/.qmail-othername file, I wish I can put:
|forward othername-$ENVVAR )
Is there an environment variable that contains
original recipient username ("anyname"), so that
I can forward the emails to
"othername-anyname@myotherdomain"?
Thanks.
Regards,
Muhamad
users/assign needs to be same on multiple servers (NIS?)
Hi guys I need to be able to have the assign file (or at least the cdb) updated across my servers each time the main server updates. The main server is currently serving /etc/passwd across NIS, and each other server is acting as a slave server, in case our main one goes down. Mail is delivered form the main server via NFS to each of the subsidiaries, which are mounted using automount. When the server (particularly NFS) is not available, the master server will defer (since it has users/assign), but the slave servers won't because they don't have a users/assign file. Now, I know some of you are thinking NIS & NFS..."look in the FAQ". That is fine, I have created the assign and cdb files with no problems. But I need these files to be distributed (note: different from simply accessible) across the network as soon as qmail-newu is run. Now, I can hack qmail-newu a bit to call some other command to do the updating, but if possible I want to be able to distribute via NIS. I'd prefer to not have to implement LDAP since I don't really have the time at the moment... On that note, does anyone know how I can modify the NIS Makefile to distribute assign and/or cdb, or any other way of allowing other servers to 'share' these files so that mail is deferred when the connection is not available. Between all the servers, all users on our domain look local, even if their Maildir is stored on another server. The NFS link from the main server delivers mail to the correct location, and on each of the subsidiaries which don't have shares for each machine, ~alias/.qmail-default simply forwards undeliverable local mail to the main relay. If the link is down, SMTP will be deferred - no problems there. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! /BR Manager InterPlanetary Solutions http://ipsware.com/
Double Bcc messages received
Hi,
We just installed qmail 1.03 on a RedHat Linux 6.1 machine. We were
previously using our ISP's mail server to send out a batch of about 200
emails at the end each day with a Perl script that uses the Net::SMTP to
send then out.
The migration to qmail went great except for one minor issue:
Our Bcc: recipients are getting double copies of our messages while the To:
recipients are correctly receiving one message. This is happening only
when sending out our emails through the Perl script.
If I write the emails using the Cc: field instead of the Bcc:
field, everyone correctly receives only one message.
The same code has been used for over a year and this has only shown up
after the migration to qmail.
I have looked through the documentation, Life With Qmail, and searched
through the mailing lists. I found a lot on double bounces other bcc
issues but didnt find much on my type of problem.
Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated!
Sincerely,
Christopher Taranto
My script is as follows:
my $file_contents =
$string->file_to_string($filepath);
my $header= '';
($header)=
split(/\r?\n\r?\n/,$file_contents);
my $to = '';
my $from = '';
my @cc= ();
my @bcc = ();
$to= $1 if
($header =~ /to:\s*([^\r\n]+)/is);
$from = $1 if ($header
=~ /from:\s*([^\r\n]+)/is);
@cc =
split(/\s*,\s*/,$1) if ($header =~ /cc:\s+([^\r\n]+)/is);
# remove bcc lines :)
if ($header =~ /bcc:\s+([^\r\n]+)/is) {
@bcc = split(/\s*,\s*/,$1);
$header=~
s/bcc:\s+[^\r\n]+\r?\n//is;
}
$smtp->mail($from);
$smtp->to($to);
# now send to the b?cc's
foreach (@cc,@bcc) {
$smtp->recipient($_);
}
$smtp->data();
$smtp->datasend("$file_contents\r\n");
$smtp->dataend();

please help me with Courier-imap!
Hello all, I am puzzled by what is happening when retrieving mail through courier-imap. I connect to my Maildir remotely and I know that there is no mail in my Maildir, but yet I am getting 24 duplicate messages back. Where are these messages coming from? I tried to connect to another user's Maildir and I got back 8 duplicate messages (not the same as my messages). I don't have any messages in /var/spool/mail/ and I am certain that when I send mail to the Maildirs, that they are going into there proper mail directories. Any ideas anyone? Thank you all!

Why even send error reports to users when they don't mention _what_ the blasted problem is? (note, I'm ranting at hotmail, not you). Users don't know to look up in RFC 1893 for extended status codes! Anyway, the status code 4.4.2 is telling us it should have been deferred. It seems like hotmail doesn't like to have any messages in its queue :) Are you sure this isn't a deferral notice? I guess since it says "Failure" in the Subject we have to assume it's not. X.4.2 Bad connection The outbound connection was established, but was otherwise unable to complete the message transaction, either because of time-out, or inadequate connection quality. This is useful only as a persistent transient error. > The odd thing about this is that we have two mail servers - one in New > Jersey on an occasionally unstable link and one in California at Above.net > which is always online and both trigger this error (randomly). Interesting, but I can only find one MX record in the DNS for vfive.com. $ host -t mx vfive.com vfive.com MX 10 bmw.vfive.com Therefore, if that is the machine in New Jersey, that could be the source of your delivery failures. Reasonable MTAs will defer the message until it can be delivered (when the link comes back up, presumably). Aaron

RE: Configure qmail using two ethernet card.
You cannot configure an application to only use a particular physical interface - physical interfaces are isolated from applications by the layers of the IP stack. You CAN have it listen on a particular IP address only, so that it doesn't respond to the IP address that is assigned to another port though. But that doesn't guarantee anything. Outbound routing is handled by the kernel routing table. Once a packet arrives on an interface, it enters the IP stack and gets responded to appropriately - regardless of which physical interface it came in on.

I'm not sure yet if this is Qmail specific, but I thought that someone here might have experienced this before and thus would have an idea since we're all email Admins. Users who are sending our mail servers mail from large sites such as prontomail or hotmail occasionally get the following error: >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Delivery Status Notification (Failure) >Date: Thu, 7 Sep 2000 13:31:04 -0700 > >This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification. > >Unable to deliver message to the following recipients, due to being unable >to connect successfully to the destination mail server. > > Reporting-MTA: dns;mail.hotmail.com > Received-From-MTA: dns;mail.hotmail.com > Arrival-Date: Tue, 5 Sep 2000 13:24:01 -0700 > > Final-Recipient: rfc822;[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Action: failed > Status: 4.4.2 The odd thing about this is that we have two mail servers - one in New Jersey on an occasionally unstable link and one in California at Above.net which is always online and both trigger this error (randomly). Both of these mail servers run Qmail 1.03 and Ezmlm which is really the only similarity between them. We have clients who send and retrieve mail from both mail servers all day long so I "know" that these are not offline - and while it's possible for short periods of inaccessibility, shouldn't these messages queue for at least a few hours before bouncing? Or is this error message indicative of something else? Brian

If you put only a "Subject" or "From" field, and you do not specify > all the fields (or maybe only the date), it will ignore the rest of the > message, and will show you only the fields you've entered... The SMTP daemon (qmail's or anyone elses for that matter) is not responsible for adding RFC822 headers such as From: or To: etc. All the SMTP daemon does is accept the incoming data and possibly add a Received: header. The sending system is responsible for 'doing the right thing' with respect to From: headers etc. By telnetting into port 25, you were acting as the SMTP client, so you were resonsible for adding the From: header etc. Here's a sample from my system: telnet allspice 25 Trying 192.168.16.20... Connected to allspice.e-smith.net. Escape character is '^]'. 220 e-smith.net ESMTP helo risotto 250 e-smith.net mail from: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 250 ok rcpt to: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 250 ok data 354 go ahead From: Peter Samuel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: testing from telnet g'day . 250 ok 968422217 qp 27634 quit 221 e-smith.net Connection closed by foreign host.

That works fine because qmail-inject creates From: and To: headers etc if they don't already exist.

Log POP3 Activity
Does anyone know how to log POP3 Activities on Qmail (qmail-pop3d) ? I need to log which email that retrieved by a pop3 users. For example, here what Post Office does: 2905175728+0700:POP3-Server:Login:[x.x.x.x]:myemail 2905175728+0700:POP3-Server:Retrieve:[x.x.x.x]:myemail:4176:0: 2905175730+0700:POP3-Server:Logout:[x.x.x.x]:myemail:2 >From that example log, I'm sure that email from [EMAIL PROTECTED] has been downloaded by user "myemail", from ip "x.x.x.x", at "September 5, 2000, 17:57:28 GMT+7". I'm using qmail+vpopmail. Best Regards, Adrian Purnama
A strange problem delivering local mail (long and hard)
Hi all, first of all, sorry for some of my poor english expresions you'll find in my mail, but it's been long since I last used it ;) Well, I have a problem which I don't know how dangerous for my system may be, this is it. I've installed qmail-1.03 with ucspi-tcp-0.88, fastforward 0.51 and qpopper3.0.2 with checkpassword 0.81 on a RedHat Linux 6.2 (PIII 450 128 MB RAM 8 GB SCSI). It was working perfectly... 'till I did an administrative stop. I had to install a 20 GB IDE ATA2 HD for users' home, so I halted the system, installed the new HD, init 1, changed mount directories, got the right perms and reboot. New partitions where: [root@hermes qmail]# df -h FilesystemSize Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda2 888M 535M 308M 63% / /dev/hda1 19G 1.3G 16G 7% /home /dev/sda3 486M 38k 461M 0% /var/spool /dev/sda4 7.0G 36k 6.6G 0% /var/spool/mail When I started qmail, all seemed to work fine... Mail was correctly delivered inside an outside the server. But I like to send mail through telneting port 25, so I did this: telnet localhost 25 HELO aimplas.es MAIL FROM: jribelles RCPT TO: jribelles DATA hola . quit This is the log of that message: (in /var/log/maillog) Sep 8 09:57:54 hermes qmail: 968399874.922874 new msg 91797 Sep 8 09:57:54 hermes qmail: 968399874.923021 info msg 91797: bytes 194 from qp 11831 uid 502 Sep 8 09:57:54 hermes qmail: 968399874.988017 starting delivery 12: msg 91797 to local [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sep 8 09:57:54 hermes qmail: 968399874.988102 status: local 1/10 remote 0/20 Sep 8 09:57:55 hermes qmail: 968399875.033522 delivery 12: success: did_0+0+1/ Sep 8 09:57:55 hermes qmail: 968399875.033633 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20 Sep 8 09:57:55 hermes qmail: 968399875.033683 end msg 91797 So, everything seems to be right... Now let's take a look at users' inbox (/var/spool/mail/jribelles) ... From jribelles Fri Sep 08 07:57:54 2000 Return-Path: Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Received: (qmail 11831 invoked from network); 8 Sep 2000 07:57:53 - Received: from localhost (HELO aimplas.es) ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) by localhost with SMTP; 8 Sep 2000 07:57:53 - hola Well, all I can see here is that the header is missing, fields "From", "To", and "Date" should appear after second "Received:" line, but they do not... Of course this only happens when delivering to a local user... And I have discovered why... Mail clients do send the header after the DATA tag, like this... ... DATA Date: Fri Sep 08 07:57:54 2000 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] hola ... This would be the DATA they would send... doing that makes it work fine... If you put only a "Subject" or "From" field, and you do not specify all the fields (or maybe only the date), it will ignore the rest of the message, and will show you only the fields you've entered... I tried making it work by removing completely /var/qmail (rm -Rf /var/qmail/*) and reinstalling qmail and fastforward and ucspi, but that doesn't solve the problem.. maybe it's not a qmail problem, but procmail's? But I don't understand why it's happened after rebooting the system... Maybe the problem is in qmail-local or qmail-smtpd->qmail-queue, as doing echo "To: jribelles" | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject works fine... I don't know if in this large mail I've failed to remember something, but I think all is on... Could anyone please tell me if this is to make me suffer any kind of problem and how to solve it, or why has it happened? I can't do anything more with my qmail knowledge... ThanX One last thing... I run qmail-smtpd from tcpserver /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -u 502 -g 501 -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd & -- JAVIER RIBELLES ASCÓ - [EMAIL PROTECTED] AIMPLAS Instituto Tecnologico del Plastico Unidad de Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicaciones Valencia Parc Tecnologic.

Configure qmail using two ethernet card.
Hi, I have some technical issue to ask. Okay..I have a web server and mail server located side by side. The web server is used to send all of the on-line inquires to the mail server. So I would like to ask how to configure qmail to accept incoming messages by using specific etherent card. From web server's ethernet care directly to mail server's ethernet card. Assume I have two ethernet card for both web and mail server. one ethernet card is to listen from the outside world. Thank you Mark

Specifying outgoing IP address of qmail-remote
Hello all. I'm relatively new to qmail. I'm wondering if someone made newer version of following patch. (or like) http://www.ornl.gov/its/archives/mailing-lists/qmail/1996/12/msg00261.html I really need this kind of patch, since some mail servers are configured to reject mail if source IP address does not match host name that qmail claimes. (I'm running qmail 1.03 with sevral IPs are assigned) If there is, please let me know where I can get it. Thank you for your information!! Yasuo
