When i add my domain in the smtproutes it stops , otherwise it works
Hello , We are able to relay the messages when the smtproutes are there , but when i add my domain to the smtproutes then it does not relays. eg my domains are prl.res.in and prl.ernet.in when i add the :prlfs.prl.ernet.in in the smtproutes , it works for all the mails which are allowed Ok thats fine , but when i add the prl.ernet.in:prlfs.prl.ernet.in then it stops relaying WHY ? . there are no spaces from the starting.

urgent ! how to log Ip addresses with current time with qmail-smtpd /tcpserver
hello list i am running qmail-smtpd under tcpserver, i am using multilog prog for logging and maintaining qmail logs, but i desperately needs to log Ip addresses for spam detection , we are running an ISP we need to findout the guy/customer who is sending lot of junk mails by relating IP address/time in qmail-smtpd logs with the radius logs , i think this is the only way by which i can find out who is sending junk mails from out mail servers thanks Regards Prashant Desai
mailbox format
How can I find pop3 daemon that supports mailbox format for Mailbox file that resides user's home dir. LWQ(life with qmail ) says there is a patch for qpopper but it is for 2.53 (which is old enough ).There is now qpopper3.1.2.tar.gz version. Any suggestions are welcome. Additionally LWQ says if a user has no .qmail file mail bounces to the owner (one sends mail).But I have managed to send a mailto user that has no .qmail file.I use Mailbox format by now.I will switchto Maildir later.Can that makes conflict with LWQ ?

Re: No open relay but allowing authorized dynamic IP clients to postanywhere
Geza I. Mark [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The users access the Internet using their various ISPs where they have dynamic IP numbers. They are authenticated by their individual SSL certificates. The requirement would be to allow the users to send mail to anywhere and to receive mail from anywhere while atill preventing the machine to became an open relay. My idea is the following. I'd set up two copies of qmail, It is possible with a single qmail implementing RFC2487 (STARTTLS). Qmail-smtpd will then relay mail iff the connection is authenticated with an SSL certificate, otherwise only mail to local users will be accepted. I have been experimenting with that and have a patch on http://www.esat.kuleuven.ac.be/~vermeule/qmail/tls.patch (server temporarily down, should be back tomorrow). Regards, Frederik
from /new to /cur
Hi, I'm not sure if my question is appropriate (or maybe I should mail it to mutt users mailing list - but I'm not subscribed and hope I won't have to). I'd like mutt to show me only new messages in my mailbox (which is in Maildir format). I mean now when I get new mail from localhost it is put to Maildir and other messages are sorted by procmail and stored in various files. But I'm curious if it is possible to move read messages from dir /Maildir/new to dir /Maildir/cur. I'd like to see only really new messages when I start mutt and others to be placed in /cur dir so I don't see them if they are read. And of course to do it automatically after reading mail and exiting this mailbox. If you have any ideas please let me know. Thank you in advance, Qba
Qmail and MX records
I have this problem that when Qmail tried to deliver a message and have this error: Connected to 152.x.x.x but greeting failed. Remote host said: 521 VHAISHEXCI.x.x.gov access denied I'm not going to try again; this message has been in the queue too long. I expected Qmail to then attempt delivery to the next priority MX. It doesn't and eventually sends me a message back that it couldn't deliver the message. My other sendmail gateway does deliver to the next mail server in line according to MX priorities. In the case of the above error, is Qmail's behavior the correct one? That is, are there any error conditions such as the above such that the correct behavior is to completely stop delivery without attempting connection to a backup mail server(per MX). Thanks in advance. LLU

See the archives for discussions on why not (it checks Return-Path). Not good idea on ORBS spamer's list can be found peoples, who don't write spam - for instace I. The problem is, this isn't spam -- it's a virus. If you start blocking IP's from wherever you get this, you will start blocking a *lot* of non-relaying sites. This isn't relaying. This is a case of honest (albeit IMNSHO clueless) people sending out a copy of a virus they don't know they have. The virus sending out copies of itself to known good email addresses isn't my major problem, tho. The virus also sends itself to godawful strings of non-Internet related characters (like "aslkjjsdl@#.jskd") which is causing a very high load of double-bounces - with me being the postmaster, I'm getting a very large (to the order of 2-5 every *second*) number of these in my mailbox. One bad thing about this virus is it wipes out (almost) every piece of useful data that you could use to track down the person who has the virus. The only useful stuff is what qmail logs - namely the HELO string, the originating IP address time. (And the HELO string is useless if the user doesn't change the "Host" DNS setting from "oemcomputer" to the user's real ID.) Now, a .qmail file which filters on that idiot "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and either a) sends that mail to the bit-bucket (which is by now overflowing... :-) or b) filters out the Received: header with the HELO line in it and stuffs it into a separate file would be a great boon... If I have a chance I'll bone up on .qmail files (one thing I don't like about qmail is it doesn't crash. "Set it and forget it" which is what usually happens... ;-) and write it myself, but I don't have the time just yet. I do have a perl script somewhere that does the HELO filter in (b) above, but it's a separate proggie - not an inline filter. (Oh, on larger files, it won't run under NT's perl, either.

Re: how do I block this SPAM?
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: We're getting dozens of these SPAM now every day just on a single admin account. There is a flood going to user mail boxes too. I've not been successful blocking it with badmailfrom or badmailpatterns. procmail yes, but I'd rather push them back. It's coming from all over the place. We're running qmail-1.03 with the SPAMCONTROL patch. Can anyone help me with this please? Note that as mentioned before, this is not SPAM, it's a virus. See http://www.vet.com.au/html/zoo/descriptions/hybris.htm for more information. You can block this quite effectively with qmail-scanner.

RE: Qmail and MX records
I have this problem that when Qmail tried to deliver a message and have this error: Connected to 152.x.x.x but greeting failed. Remote host said: 521 VHAISHEXCI.x.x.gov access denied I'm not going to try again; this message has been in the queue too long. ... I expected Qmail to then attempt delivery to the next priority MX. It doesn't and eventually sends me a message Qmail only backs off to the next MX if it is unable to reach the first MX. In this case, it reached the first MX, started a conversation with the SMTP server there, and was told to bugger off. I don't agree with qmail's handling of this case, but it is arguably fully legal. I think the standard response here runs "If their mail server isn't willing to accept email, why is it responding to port 25?" -- gowen -- Greg Owen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] SoftLock.com is now DigitalGoods!
Re: VDomains
I would recommend the vchkpw package at www.inter7.com. It lets you manage several virtual domains on one machine by using an authentication mechanism that uses the username and the domain as opposed to just the username. -- *** Matthew H Patterson Unix Systems Administrator National Support Center, LLC Naperville, Illinois, USA *** On Mon, 01 Jan 2001, dharana wrote: - Original Message - From: "dharana" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 02, 2001 2:10 AM Subject: VDomains Hi: I just wondered how should i set up a server which hosts several virtual domains.

I think the standard response here runs "If their mail server isn't willing to accept email, why is it responding to port 25?" I agree with Greg on the latter point, but not the former. As he says, if the first preference MX says "bugger off" who is more authoritative than that? We all know that secondary MX systems tend to know much less about the domain than the primary does. Consequently a secondary MX *is* likely to accept such mail, but largely because it has no clue about what the ultimate destinate thinks. I recall that this technique is meant to be an anti-spam measure. Can someone remind me as to how it works and how effective it is - because the real benefit escapes me? Regards.
Virtual Domain Tools
Does anyone know anywhere to find or happen to have any RPMs for the Inter7 programs QmailAdmin, and vpopmail? I have an RH 7 server, and the Inter7 programs don't seem to want to install in their current format. I keep getting the error no acceptable cc found in $PATH Thanks in advance. Aaron
