Re: anybody out there at this time ??? confused about checkpassword and pop3
You may have already figured this out by now, but it seems that you may have wrong permissions on the Maildir. Check the ownership and permissions on the maildir. If I remember correctly, the pop daemon will give you that auth failure if the Maildir in question is not owned by the user, even though the username and password are correct. I know I have gotten this error before, and if I remember correctly (it's late) that was the problem. Aijaz.

When qmail-smtpd reads in rcpthosts, it reads it into a hashed structure. cdb files are also hashed, but the entire thing isn't read in.

This is true. However one of our mailservers is sitting on an elder machine with only one disk (we're moving it to a newer/fast machine with raid by now) and what I did is experience the last weeks was a performance loss simply by having qmail-smtpd read in about 700 MB rcpthosts and qmail-remote read in a 300 KB smtproutes file on every incarnation. a cdb would do any good here, as the lookup would be faster, but a cdb is even bigger than the plain files. What really helped in that situation was a small mod to qmail-smtpd (1.01) to only read in rcpthosts if relayclient wasn't set. So the problem is (soon was ;-) IO bound not CPU bound. What I'd also wanted to overcome is the "explanative" overhead of managing rcpthosts for customers that order/release domains without telling us and then complain that mail gets bounced. Argueing them is IMHO a waste of time ... they're customers, they don't want to think oder understand how things work, they want it to work and go mad on you if it doesn't regardless whose fault it is. \Maex -- SpaceNet AG | http://www.Space.Net/ | Stress is when you wake Research & Development| mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | up screaming and you Joseph-Dollinger-Bogen 14 | Tel: +49 (89) 32356-0| realize you haven't D-80807 Muenchen | Fax: +49 (89) 32356-299 | fallen asleep yet.

Re: rcpt/backup mx based on IP ?
Sendmail has a switch to turn this on, which is off by default... Reason being, anyone can point their domain's MX records to your server and then freely send mail to/through it. I'm curious to know if qmail starts having performance issues at higher numbers of rcpthosts. We're currently running about 1800 domains, most of them in the morercpthosts file. I personally prefer having more control through these files. Easier to deny access to someone who leaves or whose server gets compromised.

rcpt/backup mx based on IP ?
Our rcpthosts file ist getting quite big, adding all the domains we're doing POP Boxes for and those our customer request backup MX for. Has anyone thought of/patched qmail-smtpd to accept messages based on the IP of the MX records? Are there any pitfalls that I don't think of in the moment that would make the mailserver relay open? \Maex -- SpaceNet AG | http://www.Space.Net/ | Stress is when you wake Research & Development| mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | up screaming and you Joseph-Dollinger-Bogen 14 | Tel: +49 (89) 32356-0| realize you haven't D-80807 Muenchen | Fax: +49 (89) 32356-299 | fallen asleep yet.

Re: Redirect addresses
Ari,
As appears to be normal in qmail, there are a few ways to do this.
You could setup the smtproutes file with an entry like:
domain.com.br:intranet.domain.com.br
Or, you could setup an entry in virtualdomains:
domain.com.br:alias-domain_com
And create the file
~alias/.qmail-domain_com-default
which would contain:
|forward ${DEFAULT}@intranet.domain.com.br
Hope that helps.

I have installed qmail and ezmlm but it does not seem to work, nor do i get any messages about why it is not working. I can make lists, and i have done this tree times, and have sent messages to them, but they do not seem to go, nor do i get messages why, except in the maillog file in /var/log/ states this: qmail: 977266457.397384 delivery 44: deferral: Unable_to_open_.qmail-testlist2-default:_access_denied._(#4.3.0)/ obviously, i need to change permissions, but to what i already changed them to 777 but still get the same error in the log. who exactly needs the permissions?

Re: Qmail and Large Scale Dynamic Mailings
if the newsletters are all the same, you could pre-process the list, organizing by recipent domain and starting qmail-remote processes with a few dozen recipients, and only give qmail the ones that don't go through on the first attempt, and even then after some back-off time. That way you won't clog up all incoming channels somewhere, denying service, and getting barred. Some perl code that can work with qmail-remote is available at http://www.davidnicol.com/qmail.html You could open one channel per recipent domain by inserting fork and next; right after the for(keys %Recipients) line. Adding a random backoff timer, something like sleep(rand 3600) before invoking qmail-inject might ease things too, as long as your machine has enough swap space to have all these forked perls sitting around sleeping.

accept only mails from or for local domain
Hi, my config is: FreeBSD 4.2, qmail 1.03, smtp-auth. my problem: I do not want my users to use a different "From-domain". Some people use their businnes-account for (heavy-traffic) private mail exchange. They simply replace their "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" with "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" in their private Mailprogs. smtp-auth makes it easy for them because they have a valid login. So is there any possibility to reject any mail which does not contain my local domain either as part of the sender adress or as part of the recipient adress? thanks for your hints /clemens

I understand the idea of an alias for a > directory name...but mail? Is there some standard > directory I'm pointing to with this alias, or some > other standard concept behind it? Simplified: In qmail, alias is a system user account. qmail, when delivering mail to a local user, will first check ~username for validity, .qmail file(s), etc. If that fails, it will then check ~alias/.qmail-username(-default, etc). Therefore ~alias/.qmail-root is a .qmail file (`man dot-qmail`) which controls delivery of mail to "root@localdomain". A dot mail file (read the man page referenced above) consists of comments, blank lines, and delivery instructions. A delivery instruction can be one of several things: -instruction to deliver to a Maildir. Starts with . or / and ends with /. ./path/to/Maildir/ -instruction to deliver to an mbox file. Starts with . or / and does not end with /. ./path/to/mbox -instruction to deliver to a program. Starts with |; `man qmail-command` for details. |/path/to/my/script -forwarding instructions. Either starts with &, or doesn't fit one of the above. &[EMAIL PROTECTED] Charles -- --- Charles Cazabon<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GPL'ed software available at: http://www.qcc.sk.ca/~charlesc/software/ Any opinions expressed are just that -- my opinions. ---

If you're dealing with virtual domains/users, some of the virtual domain packages have CGIs or whatnot which allow the user to change their POP3/IMAP password. If you're dealing with system accounts which don't need shell access but you want the users to be able to change their passwords, make their shell in /etc/passwd be /usr/bin/passwd -- then they can telnet in to the mail server and change their password.

Right now all sorts of exotic quota ideas are being bandied about the office: x number of messages sent/received in y time, different numbers for different senders and recipients, and on and on.

Are you referring perhaps to the bare linefeed problem? I see this occasionally. The problem ist that some idiotic mailprograms don't remove " " or even a "\n" at the end of an email address. (The "\n" probably happens when the user inputs the address in a GUI window and "incorrectly" presses ). These emails are seen by qmail-smtpd as RCPT TO: <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > or MAIL FROM: <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > and rejected. And to answer the question: - no, I don't know of any patch, but it shouldn't be hard to modify qmail-smtpd if you really think you have to. - I personally wouldn't do it.

There's nothing to tricky about running POP3 and IMAP together. You just have to install an IMAP daemon that uses the same mailbox format and location as your POP3 daemon. LWQ has pointers to some IMAP daemons, but if you're using qmail-pop3d, you probably want to use courier-imap. -Dave

How can I change return path "Return Path?"
I am sending email from inside a firewall. When qmail sends mail the Return Path: on the envelope is my hostname inside my network which is not valid outside this network. This causes some site to bounce the email back to me. My organization have five units. Each unit have a local qmail server. When a unit send mail to another unit the return path may be the local domain (xxx.jamef). When a unit send mail to outside of organization then domain may be the organization domain (jamef.com.br). how do I to change the return path to all message send outside in my firewall, if I have a qmail in my firewall. thank Joaquim ABC

RE: More on relay problem, something to do with tcpserver
Boz, This is a FAQ - three options: - Inform the sysadmin of the offending remote machine that it's broken - Use fixcrio - Edit qmail-smtpd to return a permanent rather than a temporary error on receiving a bare-LF.

I use RH 6.2 Depends how you installed the various packages. The normal methods of starting qmail services use svscan to monitor them; but as the error message above says, you're not running svscan. If you're using /etc/rc.d/init.d type scripts, make sure svscan is started before any of the other services; this will allow it to be used to start qmail, qmail-smtpd, etc. Charles -- --- Charles Cazabon<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GPL'ed software available at: http://www.qcc.sk.ca/~charlesc/software/ Any opinions expressed are just that -- my opinions. --- Luiz de Almeida <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have an issue in that I have Remote users that need to use my E-Smith Mail > server and I have toyed with the idea of opening up the box for RELAY but > have been firmly told not to even consider this. Your remote users should use their ISP's SMTP server for their outgoing mail. This is what ISP smarthosts are for. If for some reason this isn't feasible, you could use controlled relaying (as opposed to being an open relay). The best solution, in my opinion, is to use an SMTP-after-POP scheme like Bruce Guenter's relay-ctrl (http://em.ca/~bruceg/relay-ctrl/). > My next option has been Webmail which I now have working but the last hurdle > is getting the remote users to login and be able to send.

Relaying is most definitely the issue here if your webmail program sends mail by SMTP, rather than by calling qmail-inject directly. What you probably need to do is set the RELAYCLIENT environment variable for connections from 127... addresses in your tcpserver tcprules file. See the qmail FAQ for more information.

Changing the Received line in header
The qmail server displays in the Received line of the header field the HELO command given by the remote client. I would like to change qmail behaviour so that it displays the HELO command only for hosts coming from the internet and not for hosts coming from the internal local network. Here is an example: Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Received: (qmail 1982 invoked from network); 19 Dec 2000 09:29:59 - -->Here is the incriminated line Received: from proxy.edinet.it (HELO edspctec12.edinet.it) (127.0.0.1) by proxy.edinet.it with SMTP; 19 Dec 2000 09:29:59 - Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tue, 19 Dec 2000 10:32:19 +0100 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: Denis Gasparin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Example Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Status: Sending example Thanks to all Denis
