OK...Well then you should probably take a look at where the mail is
originating from and each of the qmail and DNS/TCP settings. For example,
the /etc/hosts file might contain the www entry in it, or so might an
internal DNS setting, or even the /var/qmail/control/me could do... or
/etc/HOSTNAME... As you could probably guess, the setting exists SOMEWHERE,
its just a case of finding it. Taking it step-by-step, using trial-and-error
as a friend, and you will find it.

Does it belong to you? If it does, change the reverse lookup for its IP
address to say something else. If it doesn't, then too bad. If you're
removing the headers, what does it matter anyway?

Getting rid of headers

[DG]

Hi,

I am running Qmail + Vpopmail + Qmailadmin + Autorespond on a machine
running RH 6.1.

When replying, the autoresponder includes the following headers in the
reply:

Routing undeliverable mail - .qmail-default, without header rewrite

[Brett Randall]

Hi all

I am currently using ~alias/.qmail-default to route all locally
undeliverable mail to another host which will know how to deliver it, via
the following line:
| forward "$LOCAL"@mail.hillsong.com
However, I would prefer to route the mail through mail.hillsong.com instead
of forward it to there (so that users don't get e-mail addressed to
[EMAIL PROTECTED], but addressed to whoever the original recipient
was)...does anyone know how I can do this? And a lot of large attachments
will be sent over this link, so should I use qmtp rather than smtp and is
anyone willing to give me a brief rundown of how to set it up if so? Thanks!

qmail-popup's implementation of LAST

[Darryl Lee]

Dug around in the archives, but searching on the keyword "LAST"
doesn't seem to work well.

A user is trying to POP his mail.  He's got quite a huge amount of
messages, and would like to leave them on the server.

As i understand it, the POP client should send the LAST command to see
what messages are "new", and then only do a RETR from that number
forward.  Yes?

Well, right now, i have two messages in /home/lee/Maildir/cur and two
messages in /home/lee/Maildir/new

But when i telnet to port 110 and log in, then type last, i get:
+OK 0

Any ideas?

Thanks!

It's already been explained on the list - perhaps you didn't see it,
by the time tcpserver is trying to read the .cdb file it's running
as qmaill which hasn't got access to that directory.

Okay, in one place you say /etc/tcpcontrol/smtp.cdb, and in
the other place it's /etc/tcpcontrol/tcp/smtp.cdb. I presume
you did a little typo on the error message you posted, too?

Take out the excess "tcp/" from the startup line. Or else be
more precise in you posting (as several people before me have
said...)

Point taken, but the question still remains, for what reason would the

ucspi-tcp and rebuilt the cdb.

The problem is that if you don't send us the truth, we cannot give you

The tcpserver for qmail-smtpd (running as qmaild) will not be able to
read anything in this directory with the rights like this. chmod o+x
should do it.

The missing double quote was a typo in the email only, I have since removed

The problem is the access denied error and not the rblsmtpd.

It strikes me that this message is pretty straightforward.

Are you starting tcpserver as root?

Have you examined the permissions to that file?

What does the output of:

ls -ld /etc /etc/tcpcontrol /etc/tcpcontrol/smtp.cdb

show?

[Sean Peterson]

I am currently running qmail-1.03 with tcpserver.

I attempted to update the rblsmtpd to utilize RSS when all hell broke
loose.

Now when I start tcpserver with the following command (All on one line);

/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -u $QMAILDUSER -g $QMAILDGROUP -p -x
/etc/tcpcontrol/tcp/smtp.cdb -c 60 0 smtp /usr/local/bin/rblsmtpd
/usr/local/bin/rblsmtpd -r "relays.mail-abuse.org:Open relay problem -

I get the follow err message;

tcpserver: warning: dropping connection, unable to read

And no one can connect to the server on port 25.

The server is FreeBSD 4.0.

Quoted from Mate Wierdl:

On the system I run, alias has shell /bin/false. I get into the alias
account using a setuid program called listmanage, a program I wrote
specifically for the purpose of managing lists under the alias user.

I'm not well-versed in programming setuid programs securely, so don't
make it publically executable (unless all your users are trustable, or
you're prepared to audit the program and fix security bugs you find).

If you want a copy, have cvs and ssh installed, then put the following
lines in your ~/.ssh/config:

Host cvs.m.org.nz
Hostname janus.industrial.co.nz

and run:

Well, I guess the most easy and quick would be to use vmailmgr 
, 
and  a customised version of omail-admin  : it should be
possible to patch it to show only accounts begging by a specific letter (A, B, C...)
per screen, and with maximum 20 accounts per list for example.

Just tell me if you are interested...

Take a look at vmailmgr, by Bruce Guenter.  Look at
http://em.ca/~bruceg/vmailmgr/ .  It's widely used for this sort of thing.

As opposed to what?  The user's account can be set up to have /bin/false
as its login, so that the only thing that an attacker could do is play
around with that one account's mailboxes.  If it's the idea of sending
passwords around on the Internet, vpopmail does the same thing, AFAIK.

This is misleading.  Aside from creating and deleting virtual domains,
vmailmgr can be managed completely through the web, either through the
(admitedly limited) CGIs, or through oMail (using PHP), or through a
custom PHP or Python (or C++) CGI interface if desired.

Both vpopmail and vmailmgr have this feature, and have had it from the
start.

In addition, each virtual user has a password, and that virtual user can
manage their own account (change forwards, modify autoresponse, etc.)
without going through the administrator.

Which to some has the implication that breaking that one user ID breaks
all virtual user email on the system.

Yes.  With vmailmgr, per-domain support is done through filesystem
quotas, since each domain is a seperate user, and per-account is through
an optional (included) add-on program.

See above, this is misleading and rapidly changing.

When I first looked at it, sqwebmail used compiled-in authentication
modules, and included the code for vpopmail and not vmailmgr.  I've
heard, but haven't had time to investigate, that sqwebmail now uses the
same auth modules as courier-imap does, in which case it should work
fine with the vmailmgr auth module.

I think your "ls" is trying to stat the files when it lists the files,
so that it can put a '/', '*', or '@' after them.  Is "ls" aliased to
"ls -F"?

Web management for 5000+ mailboxes

[Drew Linsalata]

9.28.2000

Hey folks,

OK, we are sold on Qmail (we're running it for our virtual hosting
customers), and would like to use it to phase out a Post.Office installation
with about 5000 active mailboxes.

For virtual domain customers (under 50 mailboxes per domain), using
vpopmail/qmailadmin works great for web management, but for a single domain
with this many mailboxes, what is everyone doing?

Its important for us to provide our help desk folks with an easy interface
with which to add/delete/modify mailboxes.

Does the file ~lists/.qmail-jobs exist? 

If not, how about ~alias/.qmail-lists-jobs?

If not, that's probably the problem.  Read the dot-qmail man page
section titled:

EXTENSION ADDRESSES
   In  the  qmail  system, you control all local addresses of
   the form  user-anything,  as  well  as  the  address  user
   itself,  where  user  is  your  account name.  Delivery to
   user-anything   is   controlled   by   the   filehome­

Did you remember to rerun tcprules to compile the tcp.smtp rules file into
smtp.cdb?  It doesn't magically convert itself, unless you've set it up in
cron.

Haven't looked at vpopmail's internals.  qmail is immune to this type
of attack.  All fixed-size buffers can only be filled by a fixed
amount of data (e.g. formatting an integer).  All other buffers are
dynamagically allocated.

Who cares?  qmail does not come with and does not need a "DB library"
that needs strip.  Ask the vendor of your DB library.

Yes. That's correct. In order to employ Domain Names, you have to use the
relaymail patch or my SPAMCONTROL. However, in spite of this, tcpservers's
IP-Address database becomes obsolete since you can either use environment
variables or control files.
There is one exception: Even using environment variables you can allow
relaying based on E-Mail (MAIL FROM:) addresses.

In general yes. Which means your MTA (qmail-smtpd) will be able to receive
mails for theses addreses. Otherweise they are solely relayed.

I don't understand the question; if RELAYCLIENT is set, rcpthosts 
is ignored.

If you want to receive e-mail *from* those people, RELAYCLIENT is 
what you need, no changes to rcpthosts. If you want to receive e-
mail *for* those people, add their domain names to rcpthosts. 
These two changes are completely independent.

Everyone,

I am trying to setup some relaying for tcp.smtp server.

Can I put domain name instead of IP address in /etc/tcp.smtp-rules?

such as

somedomain.com:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""

According to documentation, it looks like only IP can be used.

And do I need to add an entry in /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts for those 
relaying too?

Thanks for any help.

Is (has) anyone looked into using something like immunix.org's  compiler to
protect qmail/vpopmail etc. from
stack smashing attacks?

Is anyone familiar with the exposure of these programs to this type of attack?

Is it a non-issue due to the exceptional coding techniques / raw talent of
qmail&vpopmail programmers? ;-)

And no, I don't work for, or have any other self-interest in immunix.  I've just
