My problems are:

1. Why is it that when I telnet to the SMTP port, I get a connection closed
by foreign host error message?
2. When I telnet to port 110, only my account (not root) is able to retrieve
mails.  The others are able to logon but unable to retrieve their mails.
Also, all accounts I created after putting the Maildir to /etc/skel gets an
-ERR authorization failed error message.

I removed sendmail before installing the qmail RPMs.

[ouldm]

I have always a problem to get rblsmtpd works:
My initial installation of qmail was based on RPMs (It work fine under
ined or tcpserver).
I installed rblsmtpd in /usr/lacal/ but all tests fail to stop spam
(response of nelson-rbl-test is
somthing like "Your RBL does not working", then a detailled message tell
me that even
he continue to send message they continue to reach my machine) .
Now I trying to menage my installation as in Still's Live with Qmail
(creating all directories, using qmail script,
using tcpserver , etc.) on the old installation (RPMs).
My Qmail continue to work as before in spite of some errors mentionned
bellow (the anti-spam rblsmtpd does
not works even with these changements, ).

Some dope is harvesting addresses from message IDs

[Chris Johnson]

For the past several months, I've been getting tons of double bounces resulting
from spam sent to addresses that look like this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

and on and on.

I grepped through the messages I've sent to the qmail list, and it turns out
that these all come from Message-ID headers. For example, the first in the list
above was harvested from:

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

which was a message I sent to the list in May.

I imagine a lot of other people have been seeing this. Has anyone come up with
a clever way to deal with it? The only thing I can think of is to look for
addresses of the form ^a[0-9]+ in my domain's .qmail-default file and send the
mail into the void.

Do you see pop3 mentioned in your script? Go to http://qmail.org/ and
grab qmail-conf, then go to your nearest daemontools shop and get an svc

Are you making a "natural law" argument here, or what?  Or are you
just ignoring the real world and hoping it will go away?  I think the
shrink-wrap license issue, in particular, has gotten out of hand, but
I don't think stomping your feet and pretending it doesn't exist will
help any, either.

Since you asked, that would be MAI Systems Corporation in 1993, in a
lawsuit against Peak Computer, Inc..  See
http://www.law.berkeley.edu/journals/btlj/articles/10_1/Nicholson/html/text.html
for a discussion of the case and its implications.

The issue of "ephemeral copies" is currently a hot topic in US
copyright law, and is likely to be decided explicitly by statute in
the near-ish future.  This being US copyright law, the issue is likely
to be decided the wrong way--just one more reason to avoid proprietary
commercial software.

> Or that software is patentable?

Nobody has mentioned software patents in this thread but you, as far
as I have seen; perhaps bringing up a completely new topic in a "move
this discussion somewhere else" message isn't wise.

SMTP is a TCP protocol Stands for simple messages transfer protocol.
inet (I think you are referring INETD) inetd is a TCP wrapper.. What of this
don't you understand I would be happy to explain it to you.

First of all tcpserver  and inetd are basicly the same thing.. You use one
or the other.. If you are using inetd. then your inetd.conf would look like

smtp stream tcp nowait qmaild /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd

qmail is actually very easy to install if you follow Dave Sills Life With
Qmail http://web.infoave.net/~dsill/lwq.html.

Your smtp daemon is not running.  That's probably qmail-smtpd.

Depends how you configured your logging, and what logger you're using.
It could be /var/log/maillog, or /var/log/qmail, or one of many other
choices.

tcpserver isn't meant to be run from within inetd.  It's supposed to run
standalone.

That looks broken to me (is tcp-env trying to run tcp-env?), but as I don't
use tcp-env or inetd, I'm not sure.

Your logs will say.  Really.  You just have to find them.

There are many good places.  www.qmail.org points to all kinds of user-
contributed documentation -- Dave Sill's "Life with qmail" describes a
particular configuration of qmail and supporting utilities, and gives a
step-by-step guide to obtaining that particular configuration.  This is
a particularly good setup for someone who isn't comfortable designing their
own configuration.

smtp is on vacation

[Mitch Pirtle]

Hi folks,

Pardon the simplicity on this one, but there's lots of references to smtp and 
inet (in the docs) without any explanation, or hints on how to troubleshoot...

Basically, all local deliveries are fine using qmail-inject.  When I try to 
do anyhting that uses smtp, I get "Connection refused".  To add insult to 
injury, I cannot determine where or if qmail is actually logging any events, 
and cannot tell if the server(s) are running correctly.

I've tried the check utilities (run without a response, ASSUMING everything 
went ok); I have tried the different TEST.* docs, and am fine until I get to 
the dreaded "telnet localhost 25" step which fails.

I've installed tcpserver and everything looks ok there as well - but it 
appears that smtp just doesn't fire up.  Here is the current line in 
inetd.conf:

tcpserver -u 508 -g 507 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd &

Before using tcpserver, it was:

smtp stream tcp nowait qmaild /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env tcp-env \ 
/var/qmail/bin/qmailsmtpd

ps reports all qmaild-* processes running , and AFAIK everything was setup 
ok.  Does anyone know where I can start to find out what's busted?  I really 
would like to use qmail - I've heard/read so much about it - but getting it 
to go appears more difficult than the others.

Also, there's very little available reference on the configuration of qmail 
(other than the main site and a few docs with the distribution).  Where are 
other good places to get info?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Uh-oh, your RBL block is not working!

[Ould]

I don't understand anythings!!
Now I installed rblsmtpd in my directory /usr/local as a root
as mentionned in DOC. Renseign /root/.bash_profile, /etc/profile and
even the .bash_profile of any user on this directory.
Try to send message to:

The response is always the same:
"Uh-oh, your RBL block is not working!"

Using rblsmtpd seems to be a verry difficult to me (no doc) on
installation of this software.
Can you helps to fixe this?

I don't enjoy the ideia of installing servers app using ports
facilities!
Ports only works for userland apps! Since i always enjoy giving a
personal touch on my servers (fine tunning on behalf of performance, for
instance), i would install my server by hand!

I hope you're willing to start using multilog since that's the (best?) way to
store your logs for stats parsing.  Have you looked at the qmail stats program
(name?) that uses matchup & zoverall, etc. for an overview of your stats?

Server side filtering in virtual user environment

[Mike Jackson]

Hello,
 Who here has implemented some type of server side filtering in which users
somehow sort their incoming mail when all maildirs are owned by the same UID
and users are not able to log onto the machine?

 I thought of using procmail or something, but I don't want users to be able to
write files that will execute programs. Just simple filtering or forwarding.
Also, the problem of allowing a user to put a file into the maildir with their
name when they can't login to the machine and even if they did, the directory
permissions are 700 vmail:vmail exists. 

 Any ideas on how to go about doing this?

Regards,
Mike

Hi all,

I have some doubts about the qmail system. I've read the FAQ's and
"Life with
qmail" and others documentations, but I didn't get to figure out
somethings.
I'm a begginner in this subject and I count on you to help me.
I installed the qmail package in a freeBSD box, but initially it
doesn't working.
So, I'd like to know if qmail system always needs additional
programs to
authenticate users and delivery messages like a checkpassword and
safecat programs.
Are there others programs to do them?
I would like to figure out how checkpassword and safecat work.
My doubts are!
How does checkpassword catch the messages from the maildir mailbox
and delivery
to the message to qmail-pop3 or the client?
How does safecat put in the messages into the maildir mailbox?
I know that safecat catchs the messages from the standard input and
write
into the maildir mailbox, but how are this messages put in the std input
and how
does safecat catch them?

Regards Cleiton.

There is a good perl script called qmHandle.
You can find it in www.qmail.org (on the antispam
section I think). With this script you can list the
messages in the queue , verbose a message in
the queue or delete a message on the queue.

I setup a list wrong and now people are responding to the list (was 
supposed to be a newsletter type list for an online store), so the 
responses are going to about 60,000 people.  Not good.  I have killed the 
box for now.  I have deleted the list, how can I clean out the queue so 
these message will not go out to all these folks when I fire the box back up.

Please enlighten me: who bullshitted you Americans into believing that
one needs a license to use software?  Or that software is patentable?

And how did he go about this feat?

The bullshit level of this comes close to major religions (who tell you
that there is an invisible man in the sky who makes you rot in hell if
you believe in other gods, but he also loves you).

Incredible.

Please put this discussion on a list with people who actually care about
the US patent and licensing crap.  Thank You.

Masquerading

[Mike Jackson]

Hello,
 I have a question about how to send all outgoing users email as
@abc.com, regardless of what they enter into their email client. I
have entered abc.com in ~control/defaultdomain and ~control/defaulthost. It
doesn't seem to rewrite the smtp headers, however. 

 After this is accomplished, the requirement is that I implement a server
based method of allowing certain people to send mail with whatever address they
want and it's not changed.

 This is the only obstacle in the way of a mass migration to qmail, and I would
appreciate all replies.

Please reply to the list and via personal email.

Thank You,
Mike

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 ?

Thanks,
Phil hedley

What platform is this?

What is the output of this:

  ls -lR /var/qmail/supervise

>Do I need to use maildirmake for each user ? or is this done

You need to do the maildirmake for each existing user *as that
user*. For new users, you might be able to do a maildirmake in the
skeleton (template) directory used by your system's adduser/useradd
utility, q.v.

You've probably got no /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts file, and are therefore
an open relay.  This is Very Bad (tm).

Hello guys,

I want to generate mail statistics from my Qmail server. It
should give me bytes  of  messages  passed and number of smtp if possible
pop connections attempted.

I don't  use   multilog.  Log  messages are dumped to the screen and not to
syslog.
Can  any one tell me howto generate statistics and  enable logging in Qmail
