Forwarding mail to another SMTP server on the same machine
All, Firstly, apologies if this has been asked before. I couldn't find exactly what I wanted in the FAQ. I am not familiar with qmail and just need to get this to work! I have a domain (call it mydom.co.uk) whose email is handled by qmail on a server (call it myserver.com). What I want to do is have email sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] sent to a custom SMTP server running on myserver.com (on port 1615). I can get the ISP to create an MX record pointing boards.mydom.co.uk to myserver.com. I assume I then want to add boards.mydom.co.uk to virtualdomains but I'm not sure how to get any incoming emails sent off to the SMTP server on port 1615 rather than a particular user. Thanks in advance for any help. Myles

Remove *all* other instances of ``mydom.co.uk'' from the control files, including and especially locals and virtualdomains. Alternatively, depending on how much you trust the custom SMTP server on 1615, you might make it listen *only* to localhost (127.0.0.1) and alter the smtproutes line above to deliver it to localhost.

Re: RFC822 compliant?
briank [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Thanks for the response. I'm still a bit confused, though: If I attempt to inject a piece of mail with a valid, RFC822-compliant address, and qmail rejects it due to some sort of internal formatting it does, does this not defeat the purpose of having an Internet standard to begin with? No, because the purpose of RFC 822 isn't to determine a user interface. It's to establish a protocol for *computers* to talk to each other. As soon as you're dealing with user input, you're outside its scope. That being said, it would somewhat surprise me if qmail-inject with a sane configuration would reject or mishandle any RFC 822 compliant address. BTW, this isn't flamebait (comment for Felix). I'm just trying to figure out why qmail is unable to correctly resolve an address in the format someone@domain Do you mean "someone@domain" as the complete address with no dots on the right-hand side? Bear in mind that RFC 822 contains *no* address canonicalization provisions; if you're expecting your local domain to be appended to the RHS, you're outside the scope. Under RFC 822, the above address indicates that one should deliver the mail to the MX record for "domain."

No local deliveries
I'm running qmail on a linux (Debian) machine. I'm getting no local deliveries. When sending an email local2remote it seems to go thru with no problem. I've been studying the flow charts in /etc/qmail/doc for two days trying to diagnose the problem, but so far no luck. qmail will accept mail from remote servers and from local clients that is destined for a local mailbox, but it never gets delivered to the local mailbox. It appears to end up in the queue and it stays there. I'm using the Maildir system instead of Mailbox, and have changed the line in /etc/qmail/rc to reflect that, and in addition, the Maildir directory is installed in each user's home directory at /home/~user/Maildir with the appropriate subdirectories /new /temp /cur I've also tried with the conventional Mailbox/mbox structure and local delivery still doesn't happen. I have the qmail users and groups set up correctly, according to the documentation. The /home directory is owned by root, and each individual user directory ( /home/~user ) is owned by the user. These directories are not group and world writeable, and the group on all these directories is group: users Any help in getting local deliveries fixed would be greatly appreciated.

Date: field rewritten?
Hi, Some of my users are complaining that Qmail is rewriting dates showing in the "Date:" field, for instance, if someone write some message from France right now being 1 pm here and 7 pm in Paris, it shows our 1 pm local time under qmail, a copy of the *SAME* message in a sendmail-based box shows me 7 pm as the "Date:" field which is -i believe- accurate. What do i have to dso so shat Qmail does NOT rewrite Date: fields?? Thanks! Enrique-

Re: No local deliveries
tcpserver: fatal: unable to bind: address already used This came from /var/log/qmail/qmail-smtpd That means that a second process is listening on port 25. Either you have still another MTA (sendmail, exim, smail, ...) running or you bound inetd to this port. To disable inetd comment out the line that begins with "smtp" in /etc/inetd.conf. After that look for the process id of inetd and issue the command: kill -HUP pid_of_inetd If this doesn't help it's the first thing (still running MTA). Please test local delivery with qmail-inject, like the installation doc says. This eliminates other problems with SMTP. Regards Frank
Re: EZMLM Domain Change
There is a ezmlm list [EMAIL PROTECTED] where they might know more about this.

Than send a couple of messages to the newly created list and see what happens. I guess it's EZ enough to determine whether or not it works.

I have qmail and vpopmail installed on RH 6.2. I have a

back to the user
that the web server is running as. Looking at the bounce, I
see this:

RE: perl script acting funny
I have not tested this, but I was under the impression that the shell might present the problem on the last print statement: --print MAIL "$args[3]\n"; I'll have to check the O'Reilly book on CGI programming, but this is pretty bad if I remember correctly. I know that the formail code from Matt's Script Archive was exploited this way. The only way to be sure is to test it. As far as I can tell the flow of the program would be as follows HTML Form - PERL Code - shell. The backticks would preparsed by the shell. The output of the backtick statement would then be sent in the email. I am still somewhat of a perl newbie, so I could be wrong. Although at this point you may be interacting with the sendmail wrapper program. If this were the case, there is no risk. I will try it later tonight and let everyone know. /Wes Wesley A.

[OT]Help trying to understand rfc822!
hi, I know it's a bit OT here, but given the collective knowledge on RFC822 that gathers here, I hope someone can help me a bit. Besides, its MTA related after all ;) I'm sending mail from a perl script and I have one var (or config setting) for the 'To:' field. This script uses Net::SMTP to deliver its load directly into a sendmail box. Now if I insert 2 addresses, like '[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]', and there's a qmail at scim.net everything's allright. Now some hosts don't like this: I'm having problems because relay.sion.com rejects my 'To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]'. I've tried it with qmail-inject, manually feeding it with a 'To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]' and it doesn't bounce! Reading RFC822 (at http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/htbin/rfc/rfc822.html) I can see the appendix A, in the item A.1.5., it looks like it should be valid. In fact at A.3.3. there's an example that looks very much like mine... I'll find a workaround in the meantime, but, am I wrong to think its allright to have a comma-delimited To: field? martin

Long Local Delivery Delays
Hello, We have just completed migrating a sendmail installation for roughly 15000 users to qmail. After doing so, we are experiencing longish delays on the delivery of incoming messages. We currently have qmail-smtpd starting from tcpserver using: #!/bin/sh QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaild` NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild` exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 200 \ /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -c 512 -v -pR -x /usr/local/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb \ -u $QMAILDUID -g $NOFILESGID 0 smtp \ /usr/local/bin/rblsmtpd -b -r \ "relays.mail-abuse.org:Open relay problem - see http://www.mail-abuse.org/cgi-bin/nph-rss?%IP%" \ -r dialups.mail-abuse.org \ -r rbl.maps.vix.com \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 21 And logging using: #!/bin/sh exec /usr/local/bin/setuidgid qmaill /usr/local/bin/multilog t s250 /var/log/qmail/qmail-smtpd I have increased our conncurrencylocal and concurrencyremote to 50 each. The qmail-send log we have seems to indicate that we aren't coming close to this limit: @40003a105ba216072edc status: local 1/50 remote 3/50 @40003a105ba21626288c end msg 695835 @40003a105ba2196aff04 new msg 695707 @40003a105ba21a78f464 info msg 695707: bytes 8004 from qp 18635 uid 59 @40003a105ba21dda6ee4 starting delivery 18024: msg 695707 to remote [EMAIL PROTECTED] @40003a105ba21ddd7454 status: local 1/50 remote 4/50 Our architecture is setup as: mx0.gwi.net - Incoming server, BDS/OS, Dual PIII 550, 256 MB RAM. This server writes incoming mail to a NetApp NFS server. Unfortunately also running qmail-pop3d right now for some of our customers. Will be disabling this ASAP. pop0.gwi.net - POP server. (Same hardware). Just running qmail-pop3d and reading from the NetApp. The delay seems to occur from when mx0 accepts the message to when mx0 writes it to the user's Maildir. My guess would be that the queue is not being processed fast enough. We are NOT yet using the big-todo patch at this time. We are seeing delays of up to a couple hours on messages, so any assistance or pointers in the right direction would be appreciated.

How do I route to another host?
My qmail host, mail.sidell.org, is the MX host for domain sidell.org. I have another host named lyris.sidell.org. (Actually, it's another IP address on the same host, being handled by Lyris.) If I SMTP to mail.sidell.org and send a message addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED], qmail replies with the bounce: Sorry. Although I'm listed as a best-preference MX or A for that host, it isn't in my control/locals file, so I don't treat it as local. (#5.4.6) If I add lyris.sidell.org to the locals file for qmail, it of course says "foo" is not a local user. So... How do I get qmail, running on mail.sidell.org to forward mail addressed to x@lyris.sidell.org? Sorry if I'm being dense. -- Mark Sidell Chief Programmer Forte Agent

Well, yes, there is, because box@host. is an invalid mailbox per RFC 822. Trailing periods are not permitted.

Re: Long Local Delivery Delays
Try disabling host resolution in tcpserver (by adding the -H option). That's what usually stalls smtp deliveries with tcpserver. RC On Mon, Nov 13, 2000 at 04:39:11PM -0500, Jamin A.

On Mon, Nov 13, 2000 at 08:05:20AM -0800, Russ Allbery [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Do you mean "someone@domain" as the complete address with no dots on the right-hand side? Bear in mind that RFC 822 contains *no* address canonicalization provisions; if you're expecting your local domain to be appended to the RHS, you're outside the scope. Under RFC 822, the above address indicates that one should deliver the mail to the MX record for "domain." (and as a general rule, TLDs don't have MX records, although it is technically legal). He probably means a domain with no dots. For example: discuss@opennic
Re: RFC822 compliant?
Bruno Wolff [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: He probably means a domain with no dots. For example: discuss@opennic That's a dumb idea. Anyway, qmail's behavior for such domain names is documented in qmail-header(5): All host names should be fully qualified. qmail-inject appends the default domain name to any name without dots: djb@silverton - [EMAIL PROTECTED] So qmail-inject currently cannot handle mail to such domains. This is arguably a flaw in the interface. qmail itself can handle such mail without any difficulties at the protocol level, as I think could be established by using the qmail-queue interface directly. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/
Re: [OT]Help trying to understand rfc822!
martin langhoff [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I'm sending mail from a perl script and I have one var (or config setting) for the 'To:' field. This script uses Net::SMTP to deliver its load directly into a sendmail box. I assume that Net::SMTP is breaking this up into multiple separate MAIL TO commands at the protocol level? Now if I insert 2 addresses, like '[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]', and there's a qmail at scim.net everything's allright. Now some hosts don't like this: I'm having problems because relay.sion.com rejects my 'To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]'. Addresses should be separated by commas; your second example doesn't have a comma. Reading RFC822 (at http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/htbin/rfc/rfc822.html) I can see the appendix A, in the item A.1.5., it looks like it should be valid. In fact at A.3.3. there's an example that looks very much like mine... I'll find a workaround in the meantime, but, am I wrong to think its allright to have a comma-delimited To: field? Comma-delimited To: headers are fine. You can't send a comma-delimited address in the MAIL TO command, but Net::SMTP may do the right thing there. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/

(note the period) What does it mean to send Internet mail to a bare hostname? I don't think there's any standard which defines what should happen to that mail. As a hostname, a dotless name uses /etc/resolv.conf to get an IP address, and it does so by either applying a fixed domain, or by searching a list of domains, depending on how you've configured it. -- -russ nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://russnelson.com Crynwr sells support for free software | PGPok | The best way to help the poor 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315 268 1925 voice | is to help the rich build Potsdam, NY 13676-3213 | +1 315 268 9201 FAX | up their capital.
