Re: fastforward
Hi all, the problem still exists for me. I want the same incoming mail to be delivered to a local user _and_ to another address, in this case the private home address of the same user. I've tried the .qmail [EMAIL PROTECTED] ./Maildir but it doesn't work. Perhaps if I could cc all incoming mail to a local user to an extern address?

Pick up the SRPMs from http://www.em.ca/~bruceg/qmail+patches/ and
build and install them ("rpm --rebuild whatever.src.rpm" generates
the binary RPM and puts it in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386). These install
tcpserver and set them up to handle SMTP and POP.
If the build hangs, let me know. I've been meaning to track that one
down. BruceG: brp-compress has been hanging during a --rebuild lately.
This seems to be a Redhat problem.

Hi guys,

doesn't have to be the case. I have a .qmail file in /home/info with 1

to forward the mail.
I'd rather not install any extra packages (like .forward???) for such a
simple task. Any suggestions?

So anyway... get rbldns built and installed, I put mine in /var/rbldns and set it's root zone to myspamblocker.com Once you have it ready to go, add the appropriate entries into it's data file: /var/rbldns/root/data or whever you install it, and edit your /etc/resolv.conf to have the line: server 127.0.0.1 assuming you're running rbldns on 'locahost'. Of, if you want to customize your bounce messages, go into that data file again and on the first line, you can put: :127.0.0.2:Your message goes here $ That will bounce the mail with the message of your choice followed by the IP address of the connecting server. Finally, just add this line to your qmail-smtpd startup script after rblsmtpd is called: -r myspamblocker.com That will have it look up all entries on your new rbldns server, bounce them if a match is found, and then go on to the next dns server if no match is found.

RE: dnscache rbldns
Hey Daniel, they do, same group of people I believe but two different companies, or LLC's, whatever... :-) I don't believe they will let you do zone transfers without at least signing some type of agreement and even then you might have to pay them, but that might only be for their new one server combined lookup service. I would just patch the rblsmtpd and use their server for open relay blocking, I personally use rbldns just for my own list of spammers that I have been accumulating. If you want to run it in addition to dnscache, I'd just set it to run on another address and add another line to resolv.conf. You could always add a private address to your server's NIC, like 192.168.0.1 or something and run it on there.

Of, if you want to customize your bounce messages, go into that data file again and on the first line, you can put: :127.0.0.2:Your message goes here $ That will bounce the mail with the message of your choice followed by the IP address of the connecting server. Finally, just add this line to your qmail-smtpd startup script after rblsmtpd is called: -r myspamblocker.com That will have it look up all entries on your new rbldns server, bounce them if a match is found, and then go on to the next dns server if no match is found. Good luck, Dave Thanks for your help.

Re: Whrere are my log files?
Hello again, Is multilog running? Is the sticky bit set on /service/qmail-send? There are two instances of multilog running, one for qmai-send and one for qmail-smtpd. The sticky bit is set for /var/qmail/supervice/qmail-send (/service/qmail-send is a sim link to the former). I just worry if the /var/qmail/rc file is correct, because man qmail-start sais that default logger is splogger.

If so, did you test your own domain? I just tested your domain (after creating a much needed account of my own there) and it resulted in a false positive, the same false positive I got when I tested my own mail server. The test that failed was #6, which tests an email sent from :[EMAIL PROTECTED] to : [EMAIL PROTECTED] While qmail accepts initially any mail destined for (in your case) oceania.net, the email will fail to be sent when qmail finds out that there's no user by the name "jlynde%diligence.com" at your domain. If there was, I would have gotten the mail in my mailbox, which I didn't. Check your logs, and you will see the activity from the test in there, and you will also get the double-bounce, signifying the failure of the email. In other words, relax... you're not relaying... have a refreshing drink and breathe deeply cuz it's all good. Jer

I responded in private to him, however fix should be simply to raise maxusers in your kernel and recompile. Use 'netstat -m' to check the status of the membufs and see if you are running out or how close you are during peak operation times both before and after you update the kernel.

Can't get qmail to function properly!
I have a server behind a router with does NAT , the intern IP for the machine is 192.168.168.145, and people from outside sees it as 200.27.50.XX. the machine does not have a direct link to the internet, the only way is through the router. I have installed and configured qmail and it works _only_ if I connect locally to the server (ie telnet localhost 25), otherwise I have to wait between 1:30 and 2 minutes for the welcome message to appear, and then it doesn't get the rules that i set in tcp.smtp and i can deliver locally only. This means that the other people in the internal network can't send any mail!!! (they must wait over a minute, and most MUA's have shorter timeouts) and even if they wait, they can only deliver local mail... The weird thing (to me) is that telnet localhost works perfectly... I've tried everything I can, and I just can't get it working right (i've played with almost every possible combination of tcp.smtp.cdb, etc.) Thanks, -- Vinko Vrsalovic B. + [EMAIL PROTECTED] ++ Perche' la tua lingua e mia!, MIA! ++ ICQ: 9299103 ++ (Mr B.)++ Geek code will never + be available... :-) [Today's mode: PSB (Power Saving Brain)]

See below. I have to wait between 1:30 and 2 minutes for the welcome message to appear, and then it doesn't get the rules that i set in tcp.smtp and i can deliver locally only. Since you mention the tcp.smtp rules file I assume you're using tcpserver. By default, tcpserver attempts to look up the hostname of the sending box before passing control to qmail-smtpd. It also tries to get ident information. If you don't run an internal DNS server it won't be able to get the former. It will time out waiting for the DNS response. Most likely your internal machines aren't running any form of identd either, so it will also time out on the latter. You should use the -R and -H options on the command line of the tcpserver that controls qmail-smtpd. Those options will prevent tcpserver from attempting to look up either the hostname or the ident information. man tcpserver for more information. [snip...] Thanks, Vinko HTH, Tim

I'm running this line: tcpserver -x/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -R -H -u 523 -g 521 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qma il-smtpd and the problem remains the same... HTH, (What does HTH means?)

Re: Can't get qmail to function properly!
hi, your problem sounds like a nameserver problem qmail is trying to resolve the ip adresses, if it cant do that you run into a timeout. if you dont have a nameserver running try to put all the hosts from your internel network into /etc/hosts they are all in the hosts files, i've read all the tcpserver docs and configured not to look for names in DNS, it seems to me that qmail itself does the DNS query... but why can't it resolve? it's a mystery to me i can resolve my IP from localhost, other PC's in the internal and external networks... Thanks for all the help I've already received (and in such a short time) -- Vinko Vrsalovic B. + [EMAIL PROTECTED] ++ Perche' la tua lingua e mia!, MIA! ++ ICQ: 9299103 ++ (Mr B.)++ Geek code will never + be available... :-) [Today's mode: PSB (Power Saving Brain)]
