better use tcpserver though.
tcp-env as described in the FAQ didn't work on my Linux system. Apparently
the Environment Variable RELAYCLIENT didn't get set.

Here's what I've done to combat unsolicited commercial e-mail:

   I don't give out my real address.  Pretty much ny time I give out an
   address (submit it on a form, give it to a company I'm dealing with,
   put it on a web-page or mail list), I use a one-time address.  Like,
   "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".  If I'm signing up at the foobar.com web site,
   I'll use "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".  You get the idea.  Particularly
   useful on Usenet where I use "jafo-200010" (year-month) so I can
   gradually expire them as the UCE picks up.

   I bitch and moan and boycott companies that I do business with who
   sell or otherwise provide my address to others (remember, I can tell
   because of the above).

   I used the badrcptto patch so that in addition to rejecting on the envelope
   from address, I can do the same with the to.  I used to use a bounce, but
   the UCE almost always had invalid return addresses so I just started
   refusing e-mail for it.

   I set up a filter for my inbox which sorts out things based on recpieint,
   does a MAPS lookup as it's being put in my mail folder, and other fairly
   complex rules, and sorts them out.  See ftp.tummy.com:/pub/tummy/pyspam
   for the code as it is after a week of poking.

All this has reduced the UCE going in to my main box to about 2 messages per
day.  This is on an address I've had for a decade, mind you, and I have in
the past gotten 10 or more UCE messages per day.

I did an evaluation of a SMTP filter program last weekend, and while it
was thorough, I didn't like it.  Cost around $5k per machine, and just
was fairly inflexable.  I mean, if you're charging those rates, you're
selling to large customers (ISPs, businesses, etc).  The problem is that
this was an all or nothing, it had no ability to tune it on a user-by-user
basis.  I can just hear the users calling in "I'm waiting for an imporant
e-mail, but it's getting bounced.  FIX IT!"

 Okay, I have inherited a legacy Active Server Pages/VB environment that
 uses ASPEmail to send HTML email messages to a qmail relay server.  I
 keep getting the dreaded LF bounce.  After talking to Persits Software
 (the makers of the component), they're convinced that qmail is stripping
 the CRLF and replacing it with simply a LF.  My questions are, is this a
 reasonable behavior from qmail and, if so, how would I fix it?

2 QUESTIONS

2000-10-16 Thread Linux

Hi all.

I have 2 questions to submit.
1)The first is a newbye question about ezmlm program.
Can i create mailing list without user name?
In the examples doc, i must supply [EMAIL PROTECTED], but if i want to
create only [EMAIL PROTECTED] (like [EMAIL PROTECTED])?
2)I'm managing a mail server with qmail. I have about 200 users and 50
virtual domains, and all my configuration works correctly.
I have created about 180 real users (passwd and shadow files) in my system
for managing virtual domains accounts.
I know that many servers (with qmail) over the internet, host a lot of
virtual users (1), but i can't think they created 9000 real users!!
Someone can tell me if there was a method to avoid the creation of real account
for managing virtual users?

Thanks.

Simple. Just create a .qmail-user file in ~alias. This works just the
same as creating a .qmail-dash file in ~user. BUT from now on, please
ask ezmlm questions on the ezmlm list?

Yes: if you use vmailmgr http://www.vmailmgr.org, you will need only
one real account per domain, and with vpopmail (check qmail.orG), only
one account. Both have own mailing lists.

Basically, the program/person sending the mail can decide what to put

You stated that you want to block mail from hosts that have a different

the implications of what you are asking.  Do you think that every mail domain

What makes you think that using qmail means you have to use it for
POP3? You can use qmail for smtp only, you know. It is totally
compatible with the /var/spool/mail/user format if you NEED to
continue using it. Think about it...it is more secure, more flexible,
more everything. You won't regret a changeover and it will save you a
whole lot of hassle trying to run two smtp servers at once.

 So is it possable to setup qmail on the server and just use it to send
 emails though it from perl?  And keep sendmail running for everything else?

Theoretically, yes. But am I going to be the poor sod to try and
explain sendmail and qmail on one system? Not likely...

 Thanks in advance,

Take my advice and you won't regret it. Promise.

qmail Memphis RPM relaying by default?

I had to reinstall Qmail a couple months ago, and used the Memphis RPM. I
didn't pay much attention to default parameters, as I copied qmail/control
from my old install. Well it turns out that Memphis is using tcprules, and
tcprules.d/qmail-smtpd happened to be:

:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""

... Which I found out the hard way after a spammer used my system as a
relay ... 

Doh!

I don't know how it got set up that way.

Being a newbie to Qmail I am interested in how other people are controlling
their spam rules. I run quite a few virtual domains that require me to allow
people from other networks than my own to send and receive mail through my

spam people to death, but still let your users get in and out?

 You are confused. The qmail-local program runs with the permissions of
 the user who owns the .qmail file. The treatment of bogus .qmail files
 has no relevance to security.

Hmmm, very good point there. However, would you admit that this is, even
tho not security-related, a bug?

Do take note that when I say 'exploitable' I'm using it in a very broad
way - I'd call a buffer overflow in 'nslookup' exploitable (actually, I
did :) even if users can't gain any extra privs with it.

Hmm, what about the case where people have ftp access with the added
'bonus' that their .qmail files get a +x, or any other legitimate way of
editing .qmail files with a +x? I know of at least one free-hosting
company that does so. What if it turns out that they can use this bug to
make qmail-local execute arbitrary code?

Hi Georg,

Definition

  root-level folders = folders on the same level as the INBOX in the
filesystem directory structure.

Example:

  INBOX == ~mylogin/Maildir/
  Trash == ~mylogin/Trash/
  Sent == ~mylogin/Sent/

etc...

I have made a Maildir folder under ~mylogin as ~mylogin/Maildir/ using
maildirmake and there is no
problem delivering to it or reading from it.

The problem is this: Courier-imapd refuse to create root-level folders and
insists that all folders
should be created as subfolder of the INBOX folder.

Example:

  INBOX == ~mylogin/Maildir/
  Trash == ~mylogin/Maildir/Trash/
  Sent == ~mylogin/Maildir/Sent/

Furthermore, since courier-imapd uses '.' as separator instead of the
standard '/' that other
Maildir-like message structures like Mh use all folders are created with a .
infront.

Example:

  INBOX == ~mylogin/Maildir/
  Trash == ~mylogin/Maildir/.Trash/
  Sent == ~mylogin/Maildir/.Sent/


The problem basically seems to be that the guy who wrote courier-imapd is so
hooked on the rfc's
that he made a imap server that breakes all clients :( (or at least netscape
messanger and microsoft
outlook, which are used by the larger part of internet users as MUA)

At first i thought that this was due to the silly choice of personal
Namespace that he made, ie.
INBOX which is a more or less reserved word in most MUA's.

But although i patched the source to use PRIVA instead it still fucked up.

So i guess it might be the '.' seperator that is the problem, though i am in
know way knowledgable
enough about the imap specs to base this on anything else than gut-feeling
as a professional
programmer of many years.


But before i take on the task of making a complete working patch for courier
imapd which supports
standard MUA's i would like to be sure that no-one has done this before me,
since i am hard pressed
on time as it is, and actually need a good working imap server that supports
Maildir now ;)


I thought about contacting the guy who wrote it, but i must admit that after
reading the FAQ and
BUGS section on the download site i doubt very much that he in anyway cares
about my problems since

That is an attitude that is hard to find usefull for the rest of us IMHO.

 Hi Martin,

 With a MUA you can only create folders in your INBOX. If you want to
 create public-shared-folders you have to use maildirmake (which is part
 of courier-imap), perhaps with a combination of
 /usr/lib/courierimap/etc/maildirshared.
 How folders in your private namespace are displayed, depends on the MUA
 you are using. In Netscape this are all subfolders of "INBOX".

 But for further information you should look at man maildirmake or at the

 I am quite happy with courier-imap and I would not recommend any other

That's what confused me! I've not been in NZ since 1980 and I remember
that their emergency number was the hardest to dial on a rotary phone
(like Australia's 000), I'd forgotten that their rotary phones were
backwards, hence 111 is the hardest number to dial. (Or close to it).

 
 A New Zealand station (channel 2, I think) used to screen ``Rescue 911''

if some users want to use fastforward and send mails to local and remote
users without .qmail files let them do it!


richard:
it works fine with fastforward to send mails to local and remote users:

if you want to get mails for [EMAIL PROTECTED] and deliver it local to user
test2 und remote to [EMAIL PROTECTED] do the following steps:

-  don´t add the domains "domain1.com" and "domain2.com" to 
/var/qmail/control/locals !!!
-echo domain1.com  /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts
-echo domain1.com:alias  /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains
-To activate /etc/aliases, put this line into ~alias/.qmail-default:

 | fastforward -d /etc/aliases.cdb

-   put the following line to /etc/aliases:
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:  test2, [EMAIL PROTECTED]

-/var/qmail/bin/newaliases
-   svc -t /service/qmail

now it should work :-)))

You may want to try using .qmail files if you want the mail to be
delivered to the local user and a remote user. Try the following lines
in the user's $HOME/.qmail

[EMAIL PROTECTED]
./Maildir/

That will accomplish what you want. Basically, having an alias means
that something that isn't real points to a place that is
real. Sendmail's implementation, although the first, is stupid and
incoherent. It doesn't even adhere to the real meaning of the word
alias.

If you have a lot like this (why? Why not just allow home users to
pick up their mail via IMAP if they need access at home and work?),
then you may want to whack up a quick perl or sed script to take care
of it.

Re: tcpserver daemon tools and xinetd

2000-10-16 Thread Dave Sill

"John Chronakis" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

qmail.org and qmail's author clearlly suggest to use tcpserver for
qmail-smtpd and this is enough for me.
 
But there is not any clear suggestion for using daemon tools instead
of a superserver like xinetd (inetd is out of the question). 
In addition, the "install" file from the qmail source destribution
has an example for using inetd to launch qmail-smtpd and pop3d. 

qmail-smtpd can be served via inetd, xinetd, or tcpserver. The INSTALL 
file suggested inetd because it used to be the preferred method. The
current recommendation is tcpserver from ucspi-tcp. I don't know how
well xinetd works with qmail, though. One thing you need is the
ability to set environment variables based on the IP address of the
remote system. If xinetd can do that--it's been years since I've
touched it--then it should work well with qmail.

On the other hand qmail-howto, and allmost every othe document about
qmail, are suggesting using daemon tools.

ucspi-tcp, not daemontools, although daemontools is also recommended.

Friends of mine working as administrators in medium size ISPs, are
suggesting to use qmail-smtpd and qmail-pop3d 
with xinetd like they do.

Why do they prefer it to tcpserver?

All these different oppinions confused me.

It's better to have a confusing array of options than to be stuck with 
a single frustrating utility.

I just want to know the best way to control qmail since I am
expecting a high number of mail users. 
What I am concerned is a reliable, stable and efficient mail delivery.

You can't go wrong with ucspi-tcp + daemontools.

Bounce-no-mailbox AND postmaster vpopmail delivery

Set up your domain as a virtual domain. ie in
/var/qmail/control/virtualdomains, put:
mydomain.com: user

Then add mydomain.com to /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts and
/var/qmail/control/locals, and restart qmail. You can then create
.qmail-postmaster, .qmail-root, etc files in ~user, or if you are
feeling really inventive, try fastforward with a bit of a modification
in the .qmail-default file so that undeliverable mails are delivered
to a maildir.

Re: Bounce-no-mailbox AND postmaster vpopmail delivery

2000-10-16 Thread Peter Green

 But this way EVERY message will also goes to postmaster.
 I dunno what's the return value of vdelivermail in a bounce, but depending
 it all messages will go to postmaster, except the ones that bounced
 (according to qmail-command man page)

From the vdelivermail man page:

 _
   
RETURN VALUE

   0 if all steps were successful. 100 if user is over quota or
   bounce-no-mailbox is set and no matching user is found.
 _

You can check the return code of vdelivermail for 100 and, if found, deliver
to the postmaster mailbox.

It means what it says...probably a case of the smtp server not
running. Try telnetting to port 25 of the machine you are trying to
send e-mail to. If it is one of your own machines, we can probably
help. If you are trying to send it somewhere else in the world, its
not your problem.

RE: devlivery problem

2000-10-16 Thread Ihnen, David

Timeout or rejection when trying establish a TCP connection to the remote
server.

Try it yourself with the telnet program and see if you can establish such a
connection.  Chances are you can't.  Doing so will allow you to tell if its
a no-route or no-data timeout or what.

The message comes from the last line in the main function of qmail-remote.c
- which I suspect only occurs when the attempts to connect time out.

Still not enough information about what you are trying to do
here. Anyway, I've answered your question...I've told you what the
error is. Maybe you just need to configure your firewall to allow port
25 requests through to your mail server, or you need to port forward
port 25. I don't know, depends what you are trying to do.

 i set up qmail with mysql support, it seems to me
that all looks nice, but i problem i got, if i send a email to a
qmail adress, it nevers come to the mailbox !... and no denied or
error messages will be reply, so it looks like it's really sended, also
if i write a email from new qmail to qmail user, no failure messages come
but the messages are not in the box

i was looking on the faq, it seemds to me :like qmail procces (all 4 or 5
are active, like
qmail-spawn, clean,send ...) should all be startet, the Maildir is created
an right owned, the /qmail/rc script starts with the Maildir option.

any ideas or knowledges ?.. .. thanks 4 all .. mike

No. A UID and GID is required at compile-time to build the vpopmail package.
Since there is no vpopmail RPM, I'm guessing that no one has gone through
the trouble of making one for qmailadmin.

Limiting simultaneous connections from an IP address

2000-10-16 Thread frob

A while back somebody mentioned in passing an add-on
that allowed connection limiting based on IP address.
I can't find it at on the webpage at qmail.org, or
in the FAQ or LWQ.  I'm currently doing it with a
patched version of tcpserver, but would rather do it
the qmail way - anybody got a pointer?

Thanks,
Rick.
