Nah...they'd have his address. My e-mail has been spam-free for the
last 8 months, and now I'm starting to receive more...If I had known
this would happen I would have started off by subscribing to lists
with brett-qmail and brett-ezmlm style addresses so I would be able to
figure which lists the harvesters were on, but no luck here. I'm now
on about 6 lists and subscribe to several newsgroups, so the spam
could be coming from any...wherever it is coming from, it is addressed
to my personal address, and a lot of qmail'ers have been getting spam
lately...

It also doesn't state the requirement that these operations must be 
serialized. Yes, the implication is there, but it's hardly what I'd call 
clear.

Beter yet:

  "qmail-queue reads a message from descriptor 0. After EOF is received
   on descriptor 0, it reads envelope information from descriptor 1."

By the way, does anyone have any interest in comparing notes on really high 
volume qmail configs? I'm looking for performance in the range of 200-250k 
remote deliveries per hour. We're halfway there with relatively few 
modifications on a modest dual-processor Sun. Before we really start digging 
into the code (or throwing more hardware at it), I'd like to hear from others 
who are dealing with similar volumes.

Thanks,

Yeah, I read through that and while it implies that you terminate the
session by doing a close, it doesn't say that.  It could, for example,
terminate it by a line consisting only of '.'...

I'd change it to read:

qmail-queue reads a message from descriptor 0, terminated by a close().

Stop right there. It's not qmail's job to act as a router, its the
network layer's job to route packets. Are the seperate routes to your
network advertised on the Internet so packets follow the best link in?

Remote MTAs will pick an IP without knowledge of which advertised IP
is the best IP to send data to given the network topology. Your scheme
won't result in traffic taking the best route in/out of your network,
though if you give both IPs the same MX preference inbound SMTP
connections may balance between your two links.

Hello,
 
I have qmail and vpopmail working but I have two 
questions I cannot seem to solve:
 
1. It's not logging, or at least I can't find 
where it logs. I have /var/log/qmail/qmail-smtp and /var/log/qmail/qmail-send 
but these are empty.
 
2. It won't forward. I'm writing from the local 
LAN but whenever I try to send mail outside of my virtuals it errors "not 
in my list of rcpthosts". So how do I get it to send mail to wherever I 
want without turning it in to an "open relay"?

Check http://www.fehcom.com/ for installation instructions for SuSE. SuSE

you should add a link to that site in LWQ.

Anyway, I'd recommend using daemontools over a SysV init

That was a DOS file. Did you break it while mailing it or is it broken
on your system? Open it with a decent editor. Do you see something like
'"qmail.txt" [noeol][dos] 70L, 2455C'? Then run it through recode.

That sounds right to me, well spotted. So qmail-queue is not reading the same pipe
that the program is writing to.

You need two pipes to send information to qmail-queue.  In which order
are you writing and closing them?

qmail-queue reads the mail message first from descriptor 0--it reads
all data until the pipe is closed.  Then it reads the address
information from descriptor 1.  The error you are describing is
exactly what would happen if you write more than PIPE_BUF bytes (often
10240) to descriptor 1 before you close descriptor 0 after writing the
message to it.

Sounds like an OS bug. If you're sure that qmail-queue is sitting on the pipe read
and you're sitting on a pipe write to the same pipe. What OS? Can you test your code

Plenty of people have done it via qmail-inject with larger numbers than that,
and qmail-inject doesn't do anything special. Certainly there is no need for you
to go thru the machinations of non-blocking I/O, etc.

Blocked pipe to qmail-queue

[Jeff Mayzurk]

I'm trying to write an efficient C interface to feed messages with large 
recipient lists (500k+ subs) to qmail.

I've set up a pipe to qmail-queue in the style of qmail.c and ezmlm, except 
I'm not using the substdio library.

The pipe works fine for small distribution lists, but I'm getting consistent 
blocking after writing about 10KB of addresses (around 400 recipients) to the 
pipe. qmail-queue is blocked in read() and my returns EAGAIN indefinitely on 
write(), or blocks indefinitely without O_NONBLOCK set.

Obvious stuff:

 1. set O_NONBLOCK on the fds to which I'm writing
 2. double-checked validity of data written to pipe: null-terminated,
no address exceeding 1003 bytes, all recipient addresses preceded
w/ 'T'
 3. Checking return value of write() and writing in multiple passes,
as necessary

Am I missing something? Anyone else successfully written a C interface to 
qmail-queue they'd be willing to share?

Thanks,

First of all you can read the documentation, it explains how to use matchup.
Assuming your qmailanalog is in /usr/local/qmailanalog, check out
/usr/local/qmailanalog/doc/MATCHUP.

This is from MATCHUP:
=[begin]=

To remove the "Aug 1 05:30:08 host qmail:" added by syslogd, feed your
logs through

   awk '{$1="";$2="";$3="";$4="";$5="";print}'

Note that the syslog mechanism is inherently unreliable: it does not
guarantee that all messages will be logged. For reliable logs, try the
logging utilities in the daemontools package.

=[end]=

Enjoy.

example:

cat /var/log/maillog | awk '{$1="";$2="";$3="";$4="";$5="";print}' >

How does one configure a 1-way open relay?

Title: How does one configure a 1-way open relay?






How does one set up qmail as a oneway outgoing email only relay?
Of course one does not want an open relay to be accessible to incoming
SMTP messages, but we need to have sender/recipient be anyone/anyone.


I have remove control/rcpthosts to enable the open relay, but I need
to ensure that message requests come from the local network and 
not from anywhere else. Do you think this is a firewall configuration issue?
I.e. place the mail-server in between firewalls and accept only SMTP requests
from local IP. But wouldn't that prevent the handshake with a remote mailserver
to enable a message to be sent?

qmail doesn't spend all of it's time rescanning the queue, so that will
not have any immediate effects I'm afraid.

The FreeBSD qmail port puts the configure scripts in
/var/qmail/configure/ so that you don't need to actually go into the
source directory. IIRC that book is based on FreeBSD and qmail.

Looks like Rich Blum hasn't even compiled his own qmail then. Shame!

Anyway, the scripts are in the source directory. As simple as that.

You must be using some broken mailinglistmanager.

On one system that had problems with growing todo-queues I would just
reduce tcpserver's incoming concurrency for smtpd, that worked wonders.

Qmail Start Problem: ./run

[Christophe . Andreoli]

   Hello


I installed Qmail by following "life with Qmail" but can not start it until
now. I get the following Error Message when I start the Qmail Script (qmail
start).

 ./run 502: command not found
 ./run 102: command not found
 ./run 20: command not found

Have you an idea about the problem ?


  Thank you !

We get people using one of our domains that way sometimes.  Quite annoying...
badrcptto is a wonderful thing...  I was using "bouncesaying" for a while,
but most of the spam double-bounces back to me that way.  Might as well
let the open relay host handle it, hopefully it will help get somone's
attention on that host.  ;-)

One thing we have found is that sometimes contacting the person listed in the
advertisement will help.  In one instance we had a spam sent out that included
a phone number instead of any electronic means of contact.  We called and
spoke with the business owner and reamed him a new one.  He had outsourced
the sending, so we got to tell him just how clueless they were.  :-)

Jay, that is not really the point here, I think. Felix' comment was well
deserved. The ideas presented were braindead. Repeating them doesn't
make them any more useful.

Poor Jay, doesn't your Mailtoy have kill function? And speaking of
Mailtoys, yours does not produce reference headers and your quoting is
an abomination. You do know what you're doing the archive of this list,
don't you? Check here:

and check for things like "". *Why* are you doing
this?

As an aside: Felix has helped me set up a working copy of his setup that
solves the abovementioned problem 100% (published here yesterday). Where
is your contribution to solving the problem, Jay?

He might be doing it to annoy you. I know that's why I do it.

It is a very good idea, however, you have to absolutely trust the 
people you give out the extension to.  The first time they send out one 
of those dumb _forward this to as many people as you can_ type emails 
then the cat is out of the bag.  You could then delete the extension 
and inform them not to do it again and give them a new one.  This, 
however, only applies if you actually see that they have made such a 
blunder.  :-)

  Hi !!


I am not very experienced with linux, but anyway I have to install Qmail on
my SUSE Linux.
I followed the documentation "life with Qmail" but can not start the qmail
Batch ( qmail start). I get a syntax error
although I copied the Qmail file exactly as it is. This syntax error is:
"unexpected end of file".
 I don't know Bash programming so much. May be you can help me ?



 Thnak you very much !


Here is the Qmail Batch:

[Davide Dozza]

Hi,

I am using qmail and I would like to setup an e-mail account
that simply forward e-mail to a set of users (mailing list).
The problem is that during forwarding I would like to change
the field Reply-To in order people partecipating to the
mailing list can simply reply to the e-mail address of the 
mailing list.
As this is a very simple mailing list I wouldn't use mailing
list manager so I would like to do the job simply with 
qmail tools.

Any suggestion?

Davide
