The reason I use localhost instead of the host name is that my host name points to the ethernet interface and localhost points to the loopback interface. Therefore if I use the host name backup packets to the local host are going out on the ethernet, which is ineficient.

Re: QMAIL SMTP OPEN RELAY
Unless you are running the server on an internal LAN, I *high* discourage you from opening up a smtp relay.. Not only will you be frowned upon by the internet community for being a spam-haven, but you and your ISP could be put on the RBL (which is very bad).. But to answer your question, deleting the rcpthosts should do the trick.

There is no built-in mechanism to filter all incoming email, but there are several virus scanner packets you might want to look at. Or you could patch your smtpd so that it calls filter-inject.pl instead of qmail-inject. You have to write filter-inject yourself, though. Be creative.

In fact that's basically condensing my original e-mail into a sentence (well done!) But HOW is what I asked. 'Use an smtproute' - I presume you mean the smtproutes file? OK I can dynamically create that (I think) with my filter, but where do I place my filter in the system? And I don't think it is overly safe changing smtproutes on a per-email basis. If concurrencyremote was only 1, then OK. But since multiple processes could be reading the file at the one time, that isn't overly safe. The other key word I see you use is 'inject'. OK AFAIK qmail-inject doesn't have an option to send the mail using a specific server. The only way I could see to do this is send all e-mails that the filter passes to a Maildir via NFS, and the server on which the e-mail is now located has a cron job run every few minutes to process the Maildir and queue it all locally, with this machine having a different smtproute. But surely there has to be an easier (and more reliable) method than this that I can use... Thanks for your help -- B r e t t R a n d a l l http://xbox.ipsware.com/ brett _ @ _ ipsware.com

Likewise, qmail leaves multiple copies of vdelivermail (I'm using vpopmail for virtual domains) stuck in memory unable to exit and I end up having to reboot to clear them out. For busy customer accounts I've seen it tie up 400+ instances of it very quickly. This happens to any process that tries to access the directory during that time. I've since added soft mount and intr options to the nfs mounts which so far appears to have fixed the processs from getting hung in memory.

No, Maildirs are designed to work without locking. See $ man 5 maildir and there the [RELIABILITY ISSUES] section: [ ... ] In contrast, in maildir, no locks are ever necessary.

If you only have "real" users on your system, then it's rather easy:
# awk -F: '{print $1}' > ~alias/.qmail-allusers
# chmod 644 ~alias/.qmail-allusers
send mail to allusers@
If you have virtualdomains and user/assign then it becomes more
complicated. That's why I asked where the information about "all"
is kept.
If you only mean POP users by "all" you may want to have a look at

Remove a message
Hi,
The qmail is working very well.
I'm trying to remove a message doing the following:
Script to start send:
supervise /var/qmail/supervise/send | \
setuidgid qmaill tai64n | setuidgid qmaill tai64nlocal | \
setuidgid qmaill multilog s100 n5 /var/qmail/log/send &
Script to stop:
svc -dx /var/qmail/supervise/send
Steps:
1) stop the send
2) ps ax | grep remote ==> to see the messages that are currently being sent
2.5) kill with -15 the qmail-remote process of the message(s) I want to
cancel
3) tail -f /var/qmail/log/send/current ==> until I see "exiting..."
4) qmail-qread to see the number of messages I want to kill
5) cd /var/qmail/queue
find . -name NUMBER -exec rm -f {} \;
6) start the send again
Sometimes I see the following error:
multilog: fatal: unable to switch to current directory: access denied
At this time, the queue is running but no log, then I kill the send again
and try again to start it, sometimes it works, but sometimes the error is
still there...
How can I stop this error? Is the way I'm trying to delete message ok?
Thanks,
Ari

Hmm, vpopmail. It handles virtualdomains a little differently from stock
qmail, IIRC. I'm not a vpopmail user, so I can't help you there.

You probably have "metta.lk" in locals, while it should be only in
rcpthosts and virtualdomains. locals should probably only contain
'localhost' and 'mail.metta.lk'.

a problem about hostname/virtual domain
Hi all, I have installed qmail, sqwebmail, vpopmail, vqsignup. My machine name is "mail.metta.lk" The installation has been done on a Redhat 7.0 and sqwebmail is in the dir /home/vpopmail/ I have generated the domain name "metta.lk" in the dir below using the given program. /home/vpopmail/domains/metta.lk/ I can login to the webserver, create accounts on the server, and send mail from the server. But the server does not deliver mail to the virtual domain "metta.lk" The MX has been set correctly in the dns and mail is going to mail.metta.lk but returned. see message below. I have a feeling that the conflict is because the domain name "metta.lk" and the virtual domain name "metta.lk" is the same, and I have not told qmail correctly that it should deliver incoming mail addressed to "metta.lk" to a virtual domain, it instead tries to deliver that mail to itself. The contents of /var/qmail/control is as follows: - -rw-r--r--1 root root 11 Nov 28 11:45 defaultdelivery ./Maildir/ -rw-r--r--1 root root9 Nov 28 11:34 defaultdomain mail.metta.lk -rw-r--r--1 root root 34 Dec 12 14:05 locals localhost mail.metta.lk metta.lk -rw---1 root root0 Dec 8 18:33 locals.lock -rw-r--r--1 root root 14 Nov 28 11:34 me -rw-r--r--1 root root9 Nov 28 11:34 plusdomain -rw-r--r--1 root root 49 Dec 12 14:07 rcpthosts localhost mail.metta.lk dhamma.metta.lk -rw---1 root root0 Dec 8 18:33 rcpthosts.lock -rw-r--r--1 root root 18 Dec 8 18:33 virtualdomains metta.lk:metta.lk -rw---1 root root0 Dec 8 18:33 virtualdomains.lock I suspect the virtualdomains incorrect. below is the returned message.

Attachment-based relaying
Hi all, I did a bit of a search in the archives but with no answer to this interesting question. My boss wants to relay all outgoing mail which has large attachments through our other, less used, connection to the Internet. I don't mind placing another mail server on that link, but what I need to know is how to intercept mail that our users send through our mail server, check the size of the mail, and if it exceeds a certain size (say, 5mb), then it relays the mail to another qmail relay, otherwise the current relay treats it as normal outgoing e-mail. Does anyone have ideas as to how I would implement this? TIA -- B r e t t R a n d a l l http://xbox.ipsware.com/ brett_ @ _ipsware.com
Qmail and RFC1894 - Delivery Status Notifications
All- I have a need to process mail server bounces in an automated fashion and planned to make use of RFC1894 - An Extensible Message Format for Delivery Status Notifications. This appears to be used by most of the public mail servers that I have tested against, but when a mail bounces out of one of my local qmail machines (e.g., cannot connect after the maximum queue time), the message that I am receiving back from qmail does not appear to follow the RFC specification for reporting this error. Do I have something mis-configured? Is there a patch to bounce using RFC1894 standards? Thanks for the help. James

Search the archives, this question has been asked before. But, anyway, qmail-smtpd is NOT daemonizable. It needs a tcp wrapper, whichever it may be.

Only to manage them. If you have that many subscribers you might want to look into using ezmlm-idx with vpopmail. Vince.

If you use NFS, I think it will have > a performance impact. I'm with Gjermund. Anything more than three levels deep is probably excessive. I tend to use the letters of the user as sub-dirs, so "john" ends up in /var/mail/j/o/john, or perhaps /var/mail/j/o/h/john, which gives 26^3 directories. Assuming an even distribution (which it's not), a server supporting 64K users would end up with just 3 entries per sub-dir! In any event, any reasonable distribution alg will work and anything more that 3 directory levels is probably excessive for all but the most pathological of situations. Regards.

Yes, trivially easily. 1. Create a file with your text editor where each line is a new subscriber email address. Lets call that file "new". 2. Exit the editor once you're done and feed that file into the ezmlm-sub command, precisely as defined in the manpage. I suggest the use of the xargs command if the list is very large. That standard Unix command is likewise described in a manpage. If you read those manpages you'll end up with a command pipeline like: xargs
