still about quotes
Can anybody tell me what mutt is doing with quotes? First, I have the user f"oobar". It sends a subscription request as echo | qmail-inject mw-dir-subscribe ezmlm sends the address "mw-dir-sc.975653611.cpoblgockgbjimoifkpb-f\"oobar\"=bbg.msci.memphis.edu"@bbg.msci.memphis.edu in the reply-to: field of the confirmation request. But when I reply to the confirmation request, mutt is trying to use the address "mw-dir-sc.975653611.cpoblgockgbjimoifkpb-f\ar\g.msci.memphis.edu"@bbg.msci.memphis.edu I did this experiment to see why mutt cannot deal with "foobar"@bbg.msci.memphis.edu Normally, I'd expect the above to get delivered to the foobar user, but instead, I get the bounce <"foobar"@bbg.msci.memphis.edu>: Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1) Thx for any enlightment. Mate

I second that. We are now at 114 messages about that one subject on this little list with it's few subscribers. I'd say at the point we reached 100 it was far over the limit.

No, there is no direct relationsship.

There is no support for this.
What we do (for accounting) is compile qmail with an extra delivery.
>From FAQ
8.2. How do I keep a copy of all incoming and outgoing mail messages?
Answer: Set QUEUE_EXTRA to "Tlog\0" and QUEUE_EXTRALEN to 5 in extra.h.
Recompile qmail.
We have a ~alias/.qmail-log that contains the line
| awk '/^$/ { exit } /^[mM][eE][sS][sS][aA][gG][eE]-/ { print }
|/^[rR][eE][cC][eE][iI][vV][eE][dD]:/ { r=r+1; if (r==2) print; }'
Now the logfile shows lines like that
new msg 376799
info msg 376799: bytes 765 from <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> qp 20509 uid 101
starting delivery 570966: msg 376799 to local [EMAIL PROTECTED]
starting delivery 570975: msg 376799 to remote [EMAIL PROTECTED]
delivery 570966: success:
Received:_from_ns.space.net_(HELO_kronecker.space.net)_(195.30.0.1)/Message-ID:_<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>/did_0+0+1/
delivery 570975: success:
195.30.1.25_accepted_message./Remote_host_said:_250_ok_975625194_qp_27212/
end msg 376799
you can read that like that
msg 376799 -> delivery 570966 this is the extra
-> delivery 570975 this is the "normal"
The extra goes to the script and outputs
Received:_from_ns.space.net_..._(195.30.0.1)
and the Message-Id. You can now parse this line and extract the IP
address. This IP address belongs to the host that injected msg 376799
delivery 570966 -> msg 376799
and now you know a lot about the message 376799
size 765 bytes
from <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
From-IP: 195.30.0.1
You didn't write what you need the information for. Probably this can
be easier accomplished by patching qmail-smtpd.c
We've modified ours to output lines like
spamcheck: pid 24861: addrallowed: ns.space.net:195.30.0.1
1:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Sorry, I can't provide a patch, as the modification is part of a heavily
hacked qmail-1.01 smtp server.

Minimum OS Requirement to run Qmail
I am going to setup a dedicated linux box that will run qmail only. What is the most minimum package that I need to install from Red Hat 7.0 to be able to run Qmail? I do not want unnecessary services/daemons running on that box. I will also be installing the web based email package that runs on qmail.

Hi,
We are in serious trouble with a virus email named "branca de neve", I
guess when our user press "send/receive", about 10 emails are send to
world wide.
After two days minning, I find Andrew Pam (www.sericyb.com.au) script
that check if sender ("From: ") is in rccpthosts, but I don't know how to
use the script.
I try to:
1. rename "qmail-remote" to "qmail-remote.real"
2. create a file named "qmail-remote" with:
/var/bin/qmail/adbait.pl | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-remote.real "$*"
3. When I try send an email to the world, I receive "Unable_to_run_qmail-
remote"
4. I did chmod 775 on qmail-remote and adbait.pl
any idea??
TIA

Howdy,
ok, i found the answer.
it is indeed Netscape that is being bad, not qmail.
the solution is to add the following line to the

English is not my mother tongue. I expect from others what I expect from myself. I would never post a question in German or ultra-broken Mandarin to a Chinese mailing list.

The fact is that I still see the hundreds of replies from others, no matter how deep I bury the idiots in my killfile. So not only do they still cause traffic to my SMTP server that I have to pay, they also cost me precious time. So the only real solution is to get rid of the lusers for good. I hope to discourage them by flaming a few of the particularly nasty ones here. > Just so you don't get to the point of arguing that it's actively > *wrong* to help them (which you haven't yet). If they are rude and you help them, you tell the lurkers that it's OK to be rude because you are helped anyway. And, if I killfile rude lusers, and you answer to them in public, I will still waste time reading your reply, which will quote the question from the idiot so I will still see it. So: yes, I think nobody should answer rude questions. Felix

That's the foundation > of the open source movement. (Yikes, what's a cock-up? Doesn't sound like something *I'd* strive for...) Anyway, it doesn't seem like Dan is completely sold on what you term ``the foundation of the open source movement.'' I venture to say that many open source people relish the idea of everyone using open source software; I don't believe that Dan (or many on this list) thinks that qmail is for everyone. That's not to say qmail isn't the best solution for almost every situation, but it isn't the best solution for every mail admin. It's been said before, but if you are brand-spanking-new to *nix and sysadmin stuff, you probably don't have any business running a production mail server. Yes, many people inherit the job, but they need to display some /cajones/ in telling their bosses that they aren't equipped to do the job (at least, at their current level of knowledge). The true strength of open source software is not having a goal of X installations or having Y drooling followers of ``the cause''. (The growing popularity of Linux has largely perpetuated this myth.) The true strength is having all of the necessary documentation at ones fingertips--the source code. It means being able to modify programs to do *exactly* what you need, when what you need isn't something the original author knew how to do, knew to include, or wanted to support. For having all of the necessary documentation, qmail is head and shoulders above almost any package available, at least that I've found. Its simplicity, together with the documentation (both included and user-contributed) and e-mail archives, make it almost entirely possible to configure without any interaction whatsoever with supporting people. But yeah, it assumes you know a little bit. If that doesn't float your boat, you might consider using sendmail; it's installed on RedHat by default and they would, no doubt, be willing to hold your hand during installation. (For a price, of course...) Or simply outsourcing your e-mail to Critical Path or the like. > That's the way open source is supposed to work. Make it open, spread the > word, provide a community of support, encourage others. Soon it can't be > stopped - Linux style. As an example, many Linux distros are deadnut simple to install these days. However, ask a fairly inane question on the linux-kernel mailing list (say, ``How can I support USB in my kernel? I did make but it didn't work.'') and see how friendly your open source Linux community is. :) > Forget the grammar, forget the spelling, forget the soup nazi's - > realize where the bread is buttered.

If it did, it would probably end up hugely bloated and inefficient and insecure with tons of ``features'' because one person thought they were great. (See...well, just about any other mailer out there. :) It is programmer/author-driven FAR more than it is consumer-driven, and I would venture to say that it will stay that way. qmail succeeds because Dan is a darn good programmer, and because it is just elegant. /pg -- Peter Green : Gospel Communications Network, SysAdmin : [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- "A good messenger expects to get shot." --- Larry Wall

Sorry, I'll rephrase that:
"Isn't it interesting that Stumf, Leitner, Socha and Brauer all come from
Germany?
Just a coincidence, I suppose."
I didn't mention nazis, NSAP or world domination. I hope I haven't struck a
raw nerve there.
As for that perly thing... can you please rewrite it in Plankalkul?

Flaming newbie's makes no sense
I have been watching the many hundreds of lines of silliness over the last day or so. Folks these arguments make no sense. To me its a case of the more newbie's the better. Because, that means more people spread the word, more corporations, more installs, more cock-up's, more success stories, more work for the experts, more input from the field, release 1.04. That's the foundation of the open source movement. That's the way open source is supposed to work. Make it open, spread the word, provide a community of support, encourage others. Soon it can't be stopped - Linux style. Forget the grammar, forget the spelling, forget the soup nazi's - realize where the bread is buttered. Kill the newbie's and you kill the product. If they ask a stupid question, ignore it - quite easy really. Bandwidth arguments are a poor excuse. Regards Malcolm

The internet wasn't built for english speakers, nor by english speakers. But, as we all know, english (or english-ish approaches) is a common language for all of us. My own english is far from perfect, and I very often find myself twisting my brain trying to figure out what a supplier or business partner is trying to tell me in a meeting. As long as we're not talking about l33t dud3z, nor native speakers, that shouldn't be a problem. (at least not a major one) > b. are too dumb to state their question in the proper forum That's not dumbness. That's rudeness or inadequacy. By inadequate, I'm talking about those guys who've never seen a unix shell until two days ago, have no clue whatsoever of what C is, expect the docs to _talk_ them step by step into procedures, or, the most common case, expect someone to give them an out-of-the-box solution for free. What frightens me is that more and more of these seem to be in charge of someone's mail, webspace, databases, whatever. They sould never, ever, be allowed to touch a damn root prompt, unless the machine is nowhere near a network. THAT's how people should learn. Unfortunately, a large group of new "sysadmins" are teaching themselves through experience in production environments and, what's worse, they're using either pre-built packages, or scripts someone else gave them (either because they were polite, or because they whined for a week and someone got tired and gave them a solution). This usually leads to a situation where things do work, but the "ladmin" has no clue on "why", "how", and "what to do if it fails". Also, more and more of these ladmins seem to be unaware of the fact that Linux isn't the only non-Windows OS. They don't know what Unix is. They have no idea of how to configure things without the nifty GTK or curses interface; and ultimately, editing source or slightly changing a script is a nightmarish idea. But what truly pisses me off is the fact that they expect a qmail (example) list to solve their problems with bash scripting, kernel options, DNS. And they don't seem to realize this is NOT the proper place to do so, and refuse to read the docs where answers to most issues are clear. But then again, if they have no Unix backgound or knowledge at all, how will a simple answer like "Change the uid of that directory to that of the user running the daemon" help? > c. are not friendly (i.e. demand answer instead of being polite) Oh, well... Why doesn't everyone just ignore those? > d. whine when someone points their mistakes out to them Hey, Felix... They're the Unix Gurus in there.

RE: List Courtesy (was Newbie question)
I don't disagree with a lot of what you said, but I still fail to see why a newbie posting a question should illicit waves of vulgarity and self aggrandizing diatribes from a select few that have deemed themselves too busy to help, but not too busy to hurt. Back in "the day" (yes, I actually predate the web) I don't recall this kind of behavior being nearly as common as it is now. Granted this may be a reaction to an increase of newbie traffic, but that doesn't make it right, nor does it make the list any better, because newbies will come in regardless of how previous newbies are chastised by definition. -Original Message- From: Aaron L.

I cannot decide whose fault it is, mutt or qmail, but I cannot send messages to addresses written in the form "foobar"@thales.memphis.edu My reading of rfc822 is that such a message should be dropped into foobar's mailbox on thales.memphis.edu.

Back in the day, it was prudent and _neccessary_ to do thorough
checking of the forum's archives and lurk before posting, unless you
wore fireproof undies. It's still true to this day, although it seems
that someone is complaining about this most basic Internet truth every
week (day?) on this list.
When you have a problem, subscribing to a mailing list and immediately
posting your question is unwise, as your problem has likely been asked
and answered dozens, if not hundreds, of times.
The vast, VAST majority of questions posted to this list in recent
memory have been asked and answered a bazillion times. Some don't
mind seeing them a bazillion times, most do.
This is Internet 101, but I'm afraid the deluge is starting drown us.
Inane questions are costing us all money. You could argue that it's a
fraction of a penny, but still, for those interested in actually
helping out those who pose good questions, it wastes time and money to
have to wade through those asking about shell syntax. Less noise
would mean UIC's 'net connection would be a little less-stressed, as
well. Alas, I expect trends to continue.
Why is it that all of these people are installing their Redhat CD's
and installing qmail without having the foggiest idea how it all fits
together? Why are they not doing their homework? It's all fine and
dandy for your home playground, but many of these questions are coming
from professionals working with production systems!
So many questions posted here really haven't anything to do with email
or qmail, but rather basic Unix administration fundamentals, which is
decidedly lacking among more and more of the world's Unix
"administrators" these days, it would seem (and not just the low-paid
ones, I'm afraid). Without understanding how your shell works, how to
decipher the syntax of your init scripts? There are many other
examples.
You don't just move from NT to any type of Unix without extensive
research and experience, save for your own home boxes or what not, or
unless you are particularly bright (again, obviously lacking among
many newbie posters here). If you can't do it yourself, then it's
wise to hire someone.
Now, when I installed qmail the first time for a production system, I
was subscribed to the qmail list for awhile already--I knew I HAD to
get rid of sendmaul, and I did my homework! I did it using only Dan's
docs in the qmail tarball! Yes. There was no LWQ. I also learned a
great deal just by reading this list for a month or two. It was PIECE
OF CAKE, especially when one has experience with such monstrosities as
INN--the poor souls having trouble with qmail and posting here would
shoot themselves. Some don't have the luxury of that much time or
experience, granted, but still, there's a limit. Having a firm grasp
of Unix and a little common sense goes a long ways. If you don't have
a firm grasp on Unix, then there are resources out there to help you,
on Usenet, the Web, in printed books, whatever.
The keys to success:
- Read the docs, then read more docs.
- Know the software, your OS, your shell, and basic Unix stuff like
file permissions ("my log says the .qmail file has an x bit set and
program delivery, and qmail won't deliver my mail! how do I fix it??"
how many times have I seen that?!) before you decide to put that new
qmail box in production! Argg. Or hire someone who does.
- Attention to detail.
Heck, there are probably others, but I can't stress the latter enough,
since it's apparent that attention to detail is non-existant for most of
those used to point-and-drool and that ask question on this list.

Well, again, attention to detail is the key. Your envelope sender
address does not match the address that you were subscribed as, for
whatever reason. Look at this mail's return-path for a clue.
I've said enough. Pretty close to adding a rule for *Outlook* and
*Inernet Mail Service* (heh, "Service!") into my .procmailrc, though,
for mails to this list, with the SNR getting so bad among you all.
Sigh.

RE: Problems with dnscache in Linux
Clemens, Aha! Sorry - I'm not firing on all cylinders at present. Your arrows (carets) have put me back on course. I'm not used to all the features of daemontools yet, esp. svscan. The run file, yes, /run - doh, removes nail from head etc...

Thank you very much
Dear All, Many thanks to all those who have helped and apologies to those who felt aggrieved at a qmail virgin, mailing to ask for assistance. It is not a matter of being cerebrally challenged for us newbies. In our respective disciplines we are all competent creatures, however when facing a new paradigm as I have had to do; with the commercial clock ticking the sphincter does tighten somewhat. Lets not get drawn into the petulant and counterproductive arena, deriding those less knowledgeable than ourselves is not commensurate with the undoubted qmail intelligentsia that I have the pleasure of being helped by. For myself the jibes are not a problem but for others more sensitive than myself it can be soul destroying. Thanks.

To me, this mailing list is the only place where I can get software announcements and which is there to "discuss qmail", as Dan's page states clearly. This mailing list is right now completely useless to me. Apparently the gates of hell have opened and spewed forth millions of undead whose brain has decomposed to a degree that they consider Windows an operating system. And several thousand of them came to the qmail list and made it completely worthless to waste time reading it or even reading the subjects to find emails that are actually worth reading.

I don't know in what world you are living, but not in mine. None of my production mail servers ever crashed on me. The reason may be that I only touch stuff that I understand. You should try that, too. It really helps. And if you really do have 1200 users, you should hire someone to install qmail for you instead of breaking anything by touching vital systems yourself. Having an incompetent pimple faced fresh-from-windoze-college system administrator install an MTA for 1200 users is so stupid that you deserve all the pain you get for that. > Linux scares you and you can barely get it installed and to a reasonably > recent patch level.

Sigh. You've given the list _no_ information whatsoever, so we can't help
you. We need all of the following to tell you your problem:
-how you installed qmail. From source? Using daemontools? With
tcpserver? From inetd? With what patches? Using "Life with qmail"'s setup?
-the output of `qmail-showctl`
-all relevant host and domain names, not obscured or changed in any way.
-the error messages you are seeing, either from qmail, or from your MUA,
or elsewhere.
-the log entries from qmail relating to this.
However, putting on my telepathy hat, I'd say you're either not running
qmail-smtpd, or your /var/qmail/control/{locals,rcpthosts} are
incorrectly set up.

You need to add this domain to /var/qmail/control/locals. -because of the above, qmail is trying to connect to the IP address associated with the name "qbaroot.dyndns.org" (there's no MX record). This is your machine. You're not running an SMTP daemon on port 25, so it can't connect. To accept mail, you'd need to run qmail-smtpd. -this is academic, however, for mail from your own machine, as once that domain is in locals, qmail will deliver it directly without going through SMTP.

qmail and easy ~/.qmail-listname with majordormo?
hi. i'm still trying to decide what mailing-list manager i'm going to use, but i've actually been thinking about going with majordomo. after looking at: src: http://cr.yp.to/qmail.html qmail lets each user handle his own mailing lists. The delivery instructions for user-whatever go into ~user/.qmail-whatever. qmail makes it really easy to set up mailing list owners. If the user touches ~user/.qmail-whatever-owner, all bounces will come back to him. ...i wanted to make sure that this (and the rest of the mailing-list-relevant features) would still work, if majordomo was used as the mailing-list manager. if you could cc: any replies, it would be appreciated.

I certainly dug around after receiving this message - the fact that it appears not to even *try* allocating memory suggests something duff (your message pinpointed this for me).

Since the time of writing my original post, I have tried installing djbdns on another, non-Cobalt, Linux box - a PC - which compiled and ran just fine (SuSE Linux 6.3) - so I don't think I've done anything really dumb on the Cobalt. I thought the problem might be related to rights, but they look the same as the ones on the Linux PC I got the program working on (ls -lR output reproduced below this message if interested). I think it could be something screwy about Cobalt defaults. Unfortunately I don't know these machines terribly well, but I did come across a very interesting message about getting *qmail* running on Cobalts in the qmail archive, entitled, "unable to exec qq" and Cobalt RAQs - this pointed out that /var is mounted nosuid by default (fixing that was, as that message pointed out, enough to get qmail working on the machine, that being the other service I need to setup on the Cobalts.
