ReSend the mail in queue
Hi, Is there any method to resend one particular mail pending in /var/qmail/queue Well What I do is kill the qmail-send restart the qmail so it starts sending all the mails in the queue. Also is there any method for removing the message from the queue. Regards, kamal * Go to: www.NetWala.com " The Internet in every wallet "

Hi Jan Brett Right, messenger is nice. It drops short on 1 major for us: Trying to add a second pop account: "You can have multiple mail servers if they are IMAP servers. You are now using a pop server" While inside we could go POP, i can't change the outside offerings, and they aren't POP. To be honest: Many years ago i tried to get GNUS up and running, and i am still recovering from the dent in my self esteem after giving up. It was simply too damm difficult. But he, i'll give it a try once more, and try to create a workable setup for my users. That with a standard install could be a worthwile proposition. Regards, Jos
Qmail not delivering...
Hi, I have a working qmail configuration, but one problem, when trying to send a message to myself on another mail server within our network I get the following: @400039dae1e6378f3a7c status: local 0/10 remote 4/20 @400039dae20d396054e4 delivery 84: deferral: Connected_to_195.40.11.130_but_connection_die d._(#4.4.2)/ @400039dae20d3960cdfc status: local 0/10 remote 3/20 @400039dae5a001f2488c delivery 85: deferral: Connected_to_195.40.11.130_but_connection_die d._(#4.4.2)/ @400039dae5a001f2c58c status: local 0/10 remote 2/20 @400039dae5fe39f90aa4 delivery 86: deferral: Connected_to_195.40.11.130_but_connection_die d._(#4.4.2)/ @400039dae5fe39f98b8c status: local 0/10 remote 1/20 @400039dae696395fdbcc delivery 87: deferral: Connected_to_195.40.11.130_but_connection_die d._(#4.4.2)/ @400039dae69639604d14 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20 The qmail server is hyla.unique.com and looks after mail for test.unique.com, I am trying to send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] which is looked after by the mail server mail.unique.com.

Qmail startup and duplicate messages
Hello everyone, I am moved my mail system from using maildrop to procmail. The version of procmail is 3.15. When I went into my Qmail folder, I see duplicate copies for every new message from the Qmail list. All the other mailing lists have a single copy in their folders. Could this be anything to do with the startup of Qmail (personally I don't think so)? I have tried the following Qmail startup commands: qmail-start '|preline procmail' splogger qmail and qmail-start '| /usr/bin/procmail' splogger qmail Any thoughts on why this is happening? -- Subba Rao [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://pws.prserv.net/truemax/

SPAM is not a big deal if you are getting only SPAM
Hi, SPAM is not a big deal if you are getting only SPAM. It is much worse when you are getting thousands and thousands of failure messages. This is exactly what happened to me: some smart guy has a huge list of emails addresses which are intended to be his spam victims. Tousands of them are not working any more, because the list is out-dated, but the error messages have to end somewhere, don't they? Ok, we pick up some existing domain.com and then we wiil randomly generate [EMAIL PROTECTED] So, all this mess ends up in the postmasters mail. Apart from these, you find there also tons of threats that people will suit me for spamming. My question is: 1) is there a way out? 2) can qmail reject email based on "Received: " envelope? I want it not to bounce a message back, if there is the bad.host.com listed in the Received line. Thank you for you suggestions and comments, Sincerely Petr Danecek --

Yes, it's however mighty complexed and for most people unacceptable. You have to "compromize" your security so that your service to your users are balancing right where you and your users are happy, secondly you have to "compromize" security to insure that your work day is less than 24 hours everyday while still making your server maximum safe. 2) can qmail reject email based on "Received: " envelope? I want it not to bounce a message back, if there is the bad.host.com listed in the Received line. You can only purge them automaticly, I'm not sure that's to smart. The best is to reject based on envelope sender or recipient, that way you can tell the "offening" server that you rejected the message. (This is done throug the files control/badmailfrom and control/badrcptto.) BTW: would it be possible to see one COMPLETE bounce message you are having trouble with. MVH André Paulsberg

Masquerading hostnames with exceptions
Hello, I have set up "~/control/defaulthost example.com" to send all outgoing mail as [EMAIL PROTECTED], regardless of what the user enters in his email client. I want to force this, with the exception of one user who uses multiple addresses such as [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], and [EMAIL PROTECTED] depending on who he is sending the email to. It's not really an option to put environment variables on his machine and make him change them everytime he wants to send an email with a different outgoing address. Is there a way to achieve this with the qmail control files? Please advise. Thanks, Mike
Re: Qmail not delivering...
Upon more inspection it was actually the remote mail server that was causing problems. The server I was trying to send messages to has to NICs one on 213.87.7.* network and the other on 195.40.11.* network, but as the qmail server was also on the 2131.86.7.* network this confussed the remote server, and it rejected the connection. i.e. It expected 213.86.7.* machines to connect to its NIC on the same network, not to the NIC on the 195.40.11.130.

NFS without a user database?
Is there a way to make qmail defer messages in the event of an NFS outage that does *not* involve creating a user database? The project I am working on involves three mail servers, each with an NFS connection to the user directories. No user information is stored locally on any of the machines; I use a modified version of qmail-getpw to validate user names via the network (my company is willing to sacrifice the necessary local bandwidth for this to work). Because there is no local storage of information, keeping the user database updated would involve a periodic query across the network for an updated list of user names. My company feels/hopes that we will be servicing enough users to make this approach impractical, as users will be constantly added and removed from the system. So far my results have been successful. All is well when the network is behaving itself, and qmail defers messages properly when qmail-getpw fails due to a bad network connection. A contingency for a failed NFS mount is one of my last hurdles to getting this all in place. I'm open to any ideas, from .qmail tricks to code patching. ---Kris Kelley

Right. But he may not actually have to check for the existance of HOME currently
and in any event there is a timing window between qmail-getpw and the
invocation of qmail-local. So it may disappear after the check in qmail-getpw.
Having said all that, qmail-local exit with a *temp* error if it cannot
stat the home directory, so I'm not sure what the exact problem is. If the
nfs home is gone, then this stat() should fail at some point and defer
the delivery.
The only general problem is that the NFS timeouts may clog the concurrencylocal
limits, but then if you have no homes, there's nothing to delivery anyway.
code frgament:
if (stat(".",st) == -1)
strerr_die3x(111,"Unable to stat home directory: ",error_str(errno),". (#4.3.0)");
doc fragment:
111 means that the delivery
failed but should be tried again in a little while (soft
error).

RE: NFS without a user database?
since you have already gone into qmail-getpw.c, play with it a bit more. what we did was modify it to exit 111 if a control file exists in /var/qmail/control/... hmm. i guess this only works when you know ahead of time you'll be bring stuff down or have noticed a major problem occurring.markd seems to have a good solution for intermittent NFS problems. -- Michael Boyiazis [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mail Architect, NetZero, Inc. -Original Message- From: Kris Kelley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 04, 2000 1:19 PM To: QMail Mailing List Subject: NFS without a user database?

A couple newbie install questions
Hello all, Problem 1: When starting qmail under svscan via the startup script (I'm using Life With Qmail as my guide), I get errors complaining about being unable to acquire a lock of certain files: Supervise: fatal: unable to acquire qmail-send/supervise/lock: temporary failure Supervise: fatal: unable to acquire log/supervise/lock: temporary failure Supervise: fatal: unable to acquire qmail-smtpd/supervise/lock: temporary failure Supervise: fatal: unable to acquire log/supervise/lock: temporary failure My guess is that this is a permission or ownership problem? I tried chmodding the directories the lock files are in to 777 and deleted the lock files, but no dice. Any ideas? Problem 2: When I manually start qmail (no svscan running), I am able to connect to port 110, but only for a moment. It immediately disconnects me like so: Trying my.ip.address... Connected to dellhost.wierd.ip.address (my.ip.address) Escape character is '^]'. Connection closed by foreign host. I am able to manually run qmail-popup like this: /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup host /bin/checkpassword pwd Do you think my problem has to do with my pop3 entry in inetd.conf? What should my entry to inetd.conf look like? Thanks for any help anyone can offer. Gregg

Qmail Basics
Hi all, I am just starting to build our first qmail internet email server, and am having alot of problems with getting qmail to run. Basically everything about qmail works. I've gone through the INSTALL file and am running Maildir and all mail locally on the server is working fine. It's the setting up of the pop mail services that has me stumped. Ive taken the steps from the FAQ regarding pop3d setup, and have installed tcpserver and checkpassword successfully, but still no luck. I've entered the following into SUSE's boot.local file: (As told by the FAQ - domain is an example) tcpserver 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup qmail-popup lisp.com.au /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir (all in one line) But that just makes the system lockup and eventually time out when the boot.local service tries to run upon system startup. Now, the FAQ states that if tcpserver is installed then you shouldnt have a line in the inetd.conf file on pop3. So I have removed the line as shown in the FAQ: pop3 stream tcp nowait root /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup qmail-popup lisp.com.au /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir Even though if I have this line running and the boot.local line removed the system boots ok, and i can check mail from another computer via email client software (O.E.5), i just cant send. I'm running SUSE 6.4 with qmail 1.03. If SUSE is the problem then someone please tell me that SUSE is no good and that I should switch to redhat. Any help in this matter would be appreciated eternally. Better yet, if anyone knows of good docs on setting up "qmail for internet email" then could you please let me know.
