QMail 1.03 and Exchange 5.5 relaying problem
Hi everyone! I'm running Exchange Server 5.5 Service Pack 3 and QMail 1.03. Exchange's Internet Mail Connector sends all outgoing mail through qmail which is configured to accept relaying from Exchange. All outgoing messages bounce back from qmail with the error message below (addresses in the error message have been changed). As you can see, two " characters have appeared at the end of the recipient's address. If I use the same QMail server as SMTP server of my mail client, everything works just great. I can also send mail from the QMail server itself. Exchange, on the other hand, can relay messages through Sendmail without any problems. Any idea what could be wrong? - Jari begin error-message Hi. This is the qmail-send program at qmail.mydomain.com. I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

Problems starting qmail
Hi all, I've just re-installed qmail following the procedures in 'Life with qmail'. When I use the command /usr/local/sbin/qmail start I get :- Starting qmail: svscan. :No such file or directory :No such file or directory :No such file or directory :No such file or directory ...recursively Can someone give me a hint as to what is happening ? Something I was not sure of during the install procedure is the setting up of maildir and users. I believe I need to do this as I intend to use qmail-pop3d I have used the approach as detailed in the installation and set up var/qmail/rc as :- exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" qmail-start "`cat /var/qmail/control/defaultdelivery`" in /var/qmail/control/defaultdelivery I have :- ./Maildir/ Do I need to use maildirmake for each user ? or is this done automatically if a mail is recieved for a valid username ?

It seems to be allowing all email to pass through. You've probably got no /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts file, and are therefore an open relay. This is Very Bad (tm). The file should contain lines for each domain you are willing to accept email for -- this should be 'localhost', any proper names for the box and its local domains (contents of /var/qmail/control/locals) and the domains in virtualdomains. Then, to allow your virtualdomain users on the net at large to send mail through you, install a POP-before-SMTP solution which allows people to relay from any IP address _if_ they successfully check their mail with POP3 first. The best POP-before-SMTP package (IMO) is Bruce Guenter's excellent relay-ctrl. See http://em.ca/~bruceg/relay-ctrl/ for more info. As an alternative, your virtualdomain users really should be relaying their mail through the SMTP server of their ISP -- this is what the ISP's SMTP servers are for.

If you use -p option as well, then it even verifies it, and unsets TCPREMOTEHOST if it cannot be matched (no A or CNAME to the FQDN matches the remote ip-literal). You can write a wrapper before qmail-smtpd, which calls qmail-smtpd if TCPREMOTEHOST is set, or echoes the error message of your selection and terminates. It will do the trick I think. (2) allow POP3 access via SSL only; Use stunnel (see my post in the stunnel list regarding this). (3) extract any mail attachment and check it for various things; (viruses, unallowed extensions, etc.) See the amavis website regarding this. (4) support delivery to same users at different domains; Virtual domain feature in qmail. (5) allow only a more rigid form of authentication; (e.g. POP-before-SMTP) See www.qmail.org for a solution solving this (there is at least two solutions there), or the vpopmail package regarding this.

If I want to run something, and use the error code to determine if the mail should be delivered, how do I do that? It's documented fairly well in the man page for qmail-command. At the moment, I have a .qmail-test file that contains a call to an RBL lookup utilityi that returns 100 if it's a blocked IP, and 0 otherwise. It reads: |ck4spam nospam The problem is that the mail disappears into the bitbucket regardless of the errorlevel returned. This looks like it should work -- except the second line should probably be a Maildir or mbox delivery line, rather than a forward line (forward could loop back to this .qmail file). Perhaps your script is broken. You didn't post it, so we can't tell. Plus, qmail never sends mail to the bitbucket without a trace.

Re: Hostname Lookup
Well, it turns out that there _was_ a problem in DNS but it is not the MX record. The last time someone edited the zone file for mainstream.net, they tried to comment a line with a # which, just about everywhere else, is normal. In zone files, this is a big no-no and causes named to reject the entire file. Hence, the problems with sending mail to the qmail server. The thing that is weird is that I could send mail to our normal mail hub (which is running sendmail). Is there something in qmail that would cause this behavior? And why would nslookup resolve qmail.mainstream.net on the same server that had trouble sending the mail?

Proper way to start qmail-pop3d
I wasn't sure what the best way to start qmail-pop3d, so this is how I
did it:
Created another directory under /var/qmail/supervise called
qmail-pop3d/
Put a run file in there that starts pop3 service.
Created a log directory under qmail-pop3d/ and put a run script for
logging in.
This seems to work just fine, I can pop in and get mail, BUT, my
question is: it doesn't stop the service when I go into /etc/rc.d/init.d/
and type qmail stop. All of the other services stop except for the pop
service. I have to manually kill them before I can restart qmail services.
I look in my qmail script for stoping/starting services and it looks like it
should kill everything out of /var/qmail/supervise, but it is not stopping
pop. What have I missed? Here is my qmail script:
#!/bin/sh

Sqwebmail password problems
Hi, I set up sqwebmail and it is working fine with Qmail but, I have a problem. When I add an user to my system, he/she can use webmail using the his/her password from the password file of the system. If an user change this password, he/she need to change the password of the sqwebmail otherwise he/she will need to use the old password to access the webmail. Are there any way to keep the user webmail password up date from the password file of the system ?? Sorry to this question about sqwebmail. thanks, Roberto Samarone Araujo

The file must be in a location the server software can access. It required deliberate action. 2) There is no attempt to hide or protect the files, on the contrary. The files are placed in a location that by published standards can be be accessed 3) This is not the same thing as leaving a door open on my house. There are clear instructions on the web pages that show exactly where the software is located and how to make the copy. Are you suggesting only certain file names are legal to browse? I am saying that there are well known standards that create an implied consent. If I ftp to a server and enter a user name of 'ftp' and it responds 'anonomyous logins permitted' then by convention I may access the /pub directory and have the server send me a copy of the files that it makes. By the same standards I may not use a defect in the ftp daemon and fetch /etc/shadow. If I connect to port 80 of a machine and its http daemon makes a copy of index.html I understand that this is happening with the consent of the server operator. - "One of the best examples of pure democracy in action is the lynch mob" - AA4YU

Announce: Automatic mail archiving
I've just put together a package for automaticly managing mailing list archives. The idea being that at times it's nice to save a copy of mail from a list for later review. This system uses QMail extensions, Python, MHonArc, and PHP (for dynamicly generating the archive indexes) to do this. Assuming you have the above (lengthy) list of requirements satisfied, autoarch can be set up in under a minute. Mail sent to "user-autoarch-listname" will then get archived, including web interface (if you have MHonArc and Apache or the like). The first message coming in creates a new archive. Available at ftp://ftp.tummy.com/pub/tummy/autoarch/ If anyone has any ideas on how to make it reasonably secure... ;-) If you keep the archives private, it should be fine. It would be nice to get Google to index them, but that means that your "secret" auto-archive address is available. I suppose I could set up some lock-downs so that the directory had to be created first, and/or the first message sent to it would limit where messages could come from in the future...

problems with the spamcontrol patch
Title: problems with the spamcontrol patch Hi, I have installed the spamcontrol patch to a base install of Q-Mail and most things seem to work fine. However, there is one problem. When I put in an invalid senders (MAIL FROM) address to a SMTP connection, it closes the connection and does not report any message either in the logs or to the client itself. However, if I use the SMTP connection to send a valid e-mail first, and then try to send one with an invalid senders address on the same connection, it logs correctly to both client and log. All other log messages (i.e. not allowed to relay) work fine. And if I include a 'nodnscheck' file with the sender's domain, the mail goes through fine. Any ideas as to what might be going wrong? I have installed q-mail 1.03 several times with and without other patches to ensure no other patches were affecting it.
