disabling msglog (again)
Hi, I already search the archive to find about "disabling msglog" but didn't find solution. The problem is qmail always send message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] when send / receive mail. My system is RH 6.2 with qmail 1.03+patches-14 installed from RPM, also vpopmail 4.9.5 . There is no local domain ( /var/qmail/control/local/ just contain localhost ), I put all of my email domain to virtual domain and vpopmail handle this. So to stop error message "Sorry no mailbox ", I create account [EMAIL PROTECTED] How do I stop msglog ? My .qmail-msglog already empty Regards Daniel

Fw: Can I run multiple qmail-smptd on one install
Hi, Is the following possible? I have a POP box: userpopbox When mail is received there I want to also send a copy to another email adress and also store a copy in the pop box... I can make a .qmail file in the POPbox/account to do this.. If I put: [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the .qmail file, a copy of this mail is send to the other email.. But, I also want to have a copy in the pop box.. If I put the name of the POP box (userpopbox) also in the .qmail file this generates a loop and qmail can't deliver it.. What can I put in .qmail to let is also deliver to 'itself' ? Thanks for the help.. Bye Bye David

Re: No maildir log file??
Hi Brett, What you are telling, is completely right.. But, I also written that I tried to change the ownershop of the files with chown... So, I truncated the file to 0 bytes.. Then I did chown owner.group of the file.. This didn't do the job.. I understand that the root user did the chown bit, but how can Qmail know that this was done..? About, the log, you are right about this, but what is the best way to clear the log file? Basically a log data is appended on the end of the file, so I wouldn't think that you can't do such great problems by sending an empty string to you log files..

It's the exit status of process 16494 (presumably qmail-smtpd) as returned by the wait() system call to tcpserver. You'll need to read up on the wait() system call to understand why the value is 256, but here's a snippet: o If the child process terminated due to an _exit() call, the low order 8 bits of status will be 0 and the high order 8 bits will contain the low order 8 bits of the argument that the child process passed to _exit(); see exit(2). In the case of qmail-smtpd it can mean a variety of things, but generally that it failed to get input from the socket when it expected. qmail-smtpd only exits with a status of zero if it gets a QUIT.

Re: Converting dates from seconds since epoch to readable dates
I am attempting to write a script which examines the qmail logs files for statistics on ezmlm mail lists. In order to make sense of the results I need a script or command which will turn the dates that come out of qmailanalog's matchup program into human readable form. Does anyone have a script or know the command to turn a date such as 973212991.884939500 to a real date that you and I can easily understand? You may use something like: (if log from tai64 to human-readable) cat /var/log/qmail/current | tai64nlocal it should appear something like: 2000-11-08 09:22:13.435407500 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20 You can find the tai64nlocal in the daemontools package, made by djb Best Regards, -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Eduardo Augusto Alvarenga - Analista de Suporte - #179653 Blumenau - Santa Catarina.

New Mail Notification (with VMailMgr, advanced, not qbiff etc)
Hello, I need to implement a New Mail Notification; not for login like qbiff etc, but more like notifiying users on another external email, SMS etc in the future. So a simple forward won't do, I need to call some external script each time new mail comes in. How to best do this? I suppose we could use .qmail with a "program line" (man dot-qmail) ... but will this work with with VMailMgr? Mail for users a b is actually stored in /home/vermail/users/a and /b, not in /home/a/Mailbox etc. Where do I put the .qmail with VMailMgr? Also thought of simply regularly scanning /home/vermail/users/[ab]/new ... but hoping there is a cleaner solution. Thanks very much, Michael

RE: Some emails in my queue delayed more than 2 weeks, help?
I am newbie of qmail, but I noticed some emails in my qmail server queue have been there more than 2 weeks. Mail that cannot be delivered will be retried for /var/qmail/control/queuelifetime seconds, which defaults to one week (604800 seconds). After that, it will bounce. (man qmail-send) I found some useful tools to check the delayed email in the queue from the qmail homepage, but I have no idea how I can force qmail deliver them right away or backup and delete them from queue. If the mail has been delayed, then most likely the destination host is not responding, and therefore forcing the queue will not cause it to be delivered. In order to see why mail isn't getting delivered, look at the logs. Get the queue id using qmail-qread: # qmail-qread 5 Nov 2000 00:32:30 GMT #716722 2940 remote [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this case, 716722. Now grep to get the last delivery attempt: # grep 716722 /var/log/maillog | tail -1 Nov 8 04:32:31 zephyr qmail: 973675951.152330 starting delivery 46683: msg 716722 to remote [EMAIL PROTECTED] Now grep for the details of that delievery attempt: # grep 46683 /var/log/maillog Nov 8 04:32:31 zephyr qmail: 973675951.152330 starting delivery 46683: msg 716722 to remote [EMAIL PROTECTED] Nov 8 04:33:31 zephyr qmail: 973676011.198378 delivery 46683: deferral: Sorry,_I_wasn't_able_to_establish_an_SMTP_connection._(#4.4.1)/ so, the mail server for thegamblingreport.com isn't responding. Now, you could look it up to figure out what the IP is (209.67.50.203), and telnet to port 25, and verify by hand that it isn't responding... but it isn't really worth the trouble.

Unable to change to maildir
I have configured qmail to use vmailmgr to deliver messages without maintaining individual accounts for every user. This is a new system that has Redhat 6.2, Qmail 1.03, and Vmailmgr (not sure of version off top of my head, but it must be the latest as I ftp'd it from the vmailmgr site within the past 3 weeks. I followed the LWQ instructions for qmail configuration w/ pop3 instructions followed to use qmail-pop3d for access by Outlook users. I use Maildirs I believe I have a configuration issue in the delivery mechanism, and I'm not sure where to look for instructions regarding correct chmod settings for the delivery directories. Since I use vmailmgr, my virtualhosts file is configured with domain.com:vmuser .domain.com:vmuser In the vmuser home directory I have a .qmail-default that specifies |vdeliver so that the mail goes through the vmailmgr delivery mechanism What happens is that mail does not get delivered, and the logs report the message unable to change to maildir in the qmail-send log (as configured using supervise and multilog as per LWQ). Thus, I believe that qmail can not deliver the mail to the vmailmgr user, and I have a qmail problem, not a vmailmgr problem. I have put the vmailmgr user under /usr/mail/vmuser. Is there an issue with the permissions for the parent directories and/or the user directory? What is the correct chmod settings? Also, what about user:group settings for parent/child dirs Thanks ahead. Scott Burkhalter VP, Entyre Doc Prep, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Outlook Express
Hi everyone. I use the pop daemon from qmail (qmail-pop3d) and the Outlook Express program is making me crazy. I looked for a solution in the archives, but i didn't find it. My problem is: My clients use Microshit Outlook Express and i'm having a lot of error messages from qmail pop server: Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Account: 'infomoney', Server: 'mail.infomoney.com.br', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F I don't think you will ever find the solution to this problem on this list. Unfortunately, the attitude of many of the people on this list is that if it concerns a Microsoft product, even if it concerns the way it interacts with qmail, it is a non-problem. And basically they are right. The closed-source nature of Microsoft products makes it impossible for anyone but Microsoft to correct or even identify the problem. I do resent the people that say the solution is to use a better mail client. That is like saying the cure to sunburn is to not have the sun come up. People overwhelmingly choose to use MS products for various reasons, and these people are not necessarily losers because of it. Not everyone has the capability or desire to be a Unix guru. And not every shop has to deal with MS products, and I envy those. But ISPs and many other installations HAVE to deal with them if you want to keep customers. Not a choice. Its a fact of life, just like the sun coming up. All this ranting aside, there is a serious problem with the way Outlook and Outlook Express interface with qmail, but I don't think it is exclusive to qmail. One of the reasons I migrated to qmail about 2 years ago was because I was experiencing the same problems that you are seeing with a but the product was called SLMail (for NT). Migrating to qmail did not solve the problem, but it sure made it easier to go in and find the offending item and delete it when using the maildir configuration. SLMail used a mailbox-type config where mail items are combined in one big text file. Now when the customer or client calls and says Outlook is hanging on item 4 or 10, I can easily go into their maildir and delete the offending item instead of searching through a big text file. In addition, I set up Sam's sqwebmail web-based interface which allows customers to go to the server and delete the offending item themselves. This works well for those having recurring problems. I have gathered a little bit of knowledge in dealing with this problem: 1. Sometimes the problem is just caused by a poor connection. Disconnecting and reconnecting may allow you to retrieve it. 2. Sometimes there are control characters imbedded in email that makes Outlook barf. If you identify this control char and delete it, Outlook will retrieve the mail successfully. I think this causes most of the problems, but it is not usually apparent where the control character. In some cases the control character looks like an 'at' sign with an underscore below it. 3. It seems to hang more often on big items or items with attachments. This may just be due to the fact that the connection is open longer and has more work to do. 4. Deleting the offending items always cures the problem if it is a corrupted file or one containing a 'bad' control character. The client can retrieve the rest of the mail after the offending file is gone, without re-dialing. If it is a connection problem, they may still not be able to retrieve the rest of the mail after the offending item is gone. In that case they should try to reconnect, and troubleshooting should focus on the connection itself. Sadly, that is the best I can do. If you really want a solution, maybe the author of Outlook...or perhaps even Bill Gates would be willing help (right). Dennis Duval

Re: Outlook Express
Hm this is a lot of effort to make excuses for a shabby product. Empherical data would suggest that my Eudora MUA performs MUCH better over WAN/Dial up that OE ever did/will. What do you mean 'interact' with qmail? The commands are quite clearly defined as are the must's and should's of the protocol. Sure, qmail is a fundementalist MTA in its coding... but you either follow the standard or you don't. MS products don't, they don't interoperate wll with ANYTHING (even exchange servers). If I get 10 phone calls for support, 9 will be Outlook somehow boggeling a message or not conencting properly. I HIGHLY doubt the 'dirty connection' issue as TCP and modems et al all have error correction built in and seeing that rebooting is the 'only' way to correct it, it clearly points to an end user/software issue (as 100 other people are getting the mail FINE off the same PRI/RAS/LAN/SERVER.

My problem is: My clients use Microshit Outlook Express and i'm having a lot of error messages from qmail pop server: Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection.

Unfortunately, the attitude of many of the people on this list is that if it concerns a Microsoft product, even if it concerns the way it interacts with qmail, it is a non-problem. And basically they are right. The closed-source nature of Microsoft products makes it impossible for anyone but Microsoft to correct or even identify the problem. I do resent the people that say the solution is to use a better mail client. That is like saying the cure to sunburn is to not have the sun come up. People overwhelmingly choose to use MS products for various reasons, and these people are not necessarily losers because of it. Not everyone has the capability or desire to be a Unix guru. And not every shop has to deal with MS products, and I envy those. But ISPs and many other installations HAVE to deal with them if you want to keep customers. Not a choice. Its a fact of life, just like the sun coming up. All this ranting aside, there is a serious problem with the way Outlook and Outlook Express interface with qmail, but I don't think it is exclusive to qmail. One of the reasons I migrated to qmail about 2 years ago was because I was experiencing the same problems that you are seeing with a but the product was called SLMail (for NT). Migrating to qmail did not solve the problem, but it sure made it easier to go in and find the offending item and delete it when using the maildir configuration.

I hate to rant, and I know that the it says to read the FAQ and documentation, etc., before posting, but wouldn't it have been easier than writing the complete response to just give him the answer, and even if you didn't know the answer, not comment at all and let someone who does, give the answer. It's so much easier than the "treat someone like an idiot and tell them to RTFM" approach. Someone asks in ignorance and you smack him down. The fact of the matter is that there is SO much information available to the qmail community and it's not well organized, I'm surprised we don't see more of these questions.

How maybe times qmail will retry send the bounce email?
Hi guys, I don't very understand the qmail delivery procedure. I got couple questions. If a email bounced back, how offen the qmail will try to send it again? try how many times? and how long the qmail will give up? If qmail give up, how it process the bounced email? delete it from queue and forward it to Mail-daemon@localhost? Can we control the retry interval and the longest waiting time? Is it possible qmail forget a mail in the queue? if so, how can we dump it out? my qmail yesterday sunddenly sent a 2-week-old local domain email to a co-worker. this really bother some people, Thanks for help.

RFC822 compliant?
qmail-inject currently does not allow addresses of the following format: hostmaster@opennic If defaultdomain is left empty, then "defaultdomain" is appended to the address. If QMAILDEFAULTDOMAIN is set to "", then a "." is appended to the address: hostmaster@opennic. The RFC is pretty clear that legal domain names have the format domain = subdomain*(.subdomain) Does anybody know whether this is an intended feature or a bug? Based on my research, it appears this particular "feature" isn't compliant with the RFC. There is an entire world of alternative TLDs out there, of which opennic is one (see http://www.opennic.unrated.net for more details). If this is, in fact, a bug, I've got a patch which will prevent qmail-inject from appending a "." when QMAILDEFAULTDOMAIN is set to "". But I wanted to make sure this was truly a problem in need of a fix. --Brian -- http://www.nerdperfect.com Breakfast of champs.
