Re: relaying by domain
As you have noted, it's a terrible idea but if you insist http://www.palomine.net/qmail/relaymailfrom.html [ found from http://www.qmail.org/top.html ] Thanks for this. I am going to try Aaron's suggestion of forcing pop before smtp and inserting the roaming ip for a period if it fails out then I will resort to this last.

Re: relaying by domain
I don't think you've considered all the choices. A POP-before-SMTP solution would be as effective, but much more secure. Try Bruce Guenter's relay-ctrl package, which you can find from a link on www.qmail.org. As was pointed out by another poster. I guess it is because I did not know it was possible for a pop before smtp solution but it definitely a much better solution.

Stress Test
Hi People!
I was running the following Perl Script for Stress Test qmail:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use Thread;
my $addr = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"; # change to desired mail address!!
my $var1 = 100;
my $count = 0;
for(my $a=0; $a10; $a++)
{
my $ref = new Thread \sendit;
lock sendit;
}
print "done.\n";
sub sendit{
for(my $x=0;$x10; $x++){
system 'qmail-inject $addr 50k.data';
}
}
But when I run it worked fine. 50k.data is a File with 50 KB Random
Data.
The e-Mails have not been send out.
So what I wanna know is if the qmail server blocks the Spam to that
Mailbox?
I really need to know where the Bottleneck is because I need to sendout
500.000 Mails in 36 hrs.
Thanks,
Michael.

Re: relaying by domain
Actually I have some options including a patch to qmail-smtpd so that it can relay using envelope sender addresses with tarpitting I think this could be reasonably safe. because I can't guarantee that all my users will pop before smtp besides outlook express has an annoying habit of sending queued messages before fetching mail at times.

Mar 3rd, 2000 10:58 Dave Sill qmail uses Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), instead of the local timezone, in any timestamps it creates. This is indicated by the "-" at the end of the date specification. It means "no offset from GMT". (Eastern Standard Time has an offset of "-0500" which means five hours before GMT.) qmail uses GMT for two reasons: first, it makes it easier to track messages that pass through multiple timezones, and second, converting to the local timezone requires linking with the standard C runtime library, which DJB has gone to great lengths to avoid since it can be a source of security and reliability problems. There are two headers fields where qmail puts a time: Received and Date. qmail will only add a Date field to locally-injected (not SMTP) messages that don't already have a Date field. If you don't like the Date header qmail adds, either configure your mail user agent (MUA) to add them, or use the "datemail" command to inject messages instead of qmail-inject. Some people even replace qmail-inject with a symbolic link to datemail. Received fields are always stamped in UTC. Changing this would require a source code patch, and would be ill-advised for the reasons stated above." --- P.S: sou brasileira, se quiser trocar "figurinhas" sobre o qmail me procure ... estou começando a usa-lo em substituicao ao Sendmail.

Those users are not in my network. Everybody has dynamic IPs because they connect to the Internet through several others ISPs. For that reason I opted for the POP-before-SMTP authentication, and I installed the package "relay-ctrl". I followed all the instructions of the file "Readme": # gzip -dc relay-ctrl-2.5.tar.gz | tar xvf - # make # make root-install After, I put in crontab the followed lines: * * * * * /usr/sbin/relay-ctrl-age And, in the file /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail, I insert the followed lines between "esac" and "exit 0": tcpserver -v -R 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup pop3.tecnohost.com.br \ /bin/checkpassword /usr/sbin/relay-ctrl-allow /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 21 | \ /var/qmail/bin/splogger pop3d So, as nothing happened, I read all messages in the list archive about "relay-ctrl" and I discovered that was necessary to do more things than file "Readme" didn't explain: 1. Create the directory /etc/relay-ctrl 2. Create some files and put inside the /etc/relay-ctrl: 2.1. expiry 2.2. rule 2.3. rulesdir 2.4. smtpcdb 2.5. smtprules 2.6. spooldir 2.7. tcprules 3. Inside this files, put: 3.1. expiry= 900 3.2. rule = :allow,RELAYCLIENT='' 3.3. rulesdir = /etc 3.4. smtpcdb = tcp.smtp.cdb 3.5. smtprules = tcp.smtp 3.6. spooldir = /var/spool/relay-ctrl 3.7. tcprules = /usr/local/bin/tcprules 4. Create the directory /var/spool/relay-ctrl/ 5. After all, I reboot the computer. I would like to know if still need to do more some thing... 'Cause as I said before, in README it doesn't explain practically anything. Most of the things that I did was through the messages of that list. As if I was joining pieces of a puzzle. I ask that, because the things are not still working. :-((( See what it's already working: 1. The users can receive messages from any domain out of my network. 2. The users can send messages for any domain out of my network. See what is not still working: 1. The users can send messages without receive first. 2. Inside the /var/spool/relay-ctrl/ a file is created with the name of the address IP that is using the e-mail in the moment. But this file stay empty (is that correct?) and is not never deleted. Please help me! I'm there are days trying to solve that without success. I don't know more than to do. -- Thanks, Ana Paula
Relaying with xinetd

RE: IS TIME_WAIT has somethings to do with qmail?
I have a lot of TIME_WAIT (TCP/IP) on my mail server. And this grow with time, I think that it well crash my server. I'm asking if this has no relation with qmail? TIME_WAIT means that a connection has been closed but the server is hanging around for a little bit to clear up any packets that belong to that connection. Look at the TIME_WAIT lines: Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State tcp0 0 192.168.1.2:2510.10.0.3:1070 TIME_WAIT If 'Local Address' has :25 after it, then yes, it was a mail connection that is waiting to be cleaned up. If it has a different port, then it is a different type of connection. Seeing some of these is not necessarily an indication of a problem. Seeing a large number of these may indicate a problem. -- gowen -- Greg Owen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] SoftLock.com is now DigitalGoods!
multiple smtp connections using the isp's server to send mail
We use qmail on RH Linux 6.2 and connect through multiple ispsuse the isp giving the best connection at the time... I want qmail to initiate multiple smtp sessions so as to send mail faster. How to accomplish this through a dial-up connection? Also, my server makes a direct smtp connection I want to configure it to use my isp's server for forwarding the mail. Also, if this can be configure to accomodate possibility of different isp's being dialled...it would be great. Hope someone can give me some pointers. With best regards. Sanjay.
qmail, smtp-send and PHP
Hello folks. I'm trying to send emails with PHP (Linux) through a remote mailserver running qmail 1.03. I'm using the smtp-send class by M Lemos. The problem is that ALL emails being sent get a weird header at the first line: Return-Path: "johan johan"@mail.johanbjork.com Exactly like that it looks! And I'm not trying to set that header in PHP. Even if I do, it still look as bad. If I use exactly the same code but send mail through another mail server (one running sendmail), everything works fine. So I wonder if anyone knows what possibly could be wrong? --- Johan Björk

Re: relaying by domain
Have you considered authenticated SMTP? That way clients would have to verify themselves each time they sent out a message, similar to the POP login procedure. There is a very good patch for qmail that enables the ESMTP AUTH command, written by Krzysztof Dabrowski, available at www.qmail.org/top.html. Personally I think that ESMTP AUTH is a much cleaner way of doing things than SMTP-after-POP, and most major mail clients support it, including Outlook and Outlook Express. ---Kris

It looks like your envelope sender is in a non-standard format, like: "Comment" address which is fine for From: and To: headers, but not for the envelope sender or recipient. Specify the envelope sender as only address and it might work better.

E-mail through firewall
Hi all I have a problem. Optus@Home in Australia (one of two cable internet providers) have decided to firewall port 25 traffic (incoming) to their entire network except for their own mail servers. This means my mail server is virtually useless. They have blocked smtp traffic since their entire IP range was being listed with ORBS and other open relay databases since their users were operating open relays. I'll agree, the network is run like crap since Optus let this happen in the first place, but the other alternative (Telstra) is not any better by a long shot. I have provided a temporary work around, setting up my work mail server as the primary MX then routing to a different port, on my Optus@Home server, which I am now running qmail on. This works, but it is not very nice. Does anyone have any ideas how I can get out of this problem with Optus firewalling port 25? Or is the way I have just described the only perceivable way of doing this (the latter would be my thinking, but I ask in hope of the former). It would be nice (however dumb and time-and-resource-wasting) if I could tell clients coming to my server to use a different port for their SMTP connection, but I haven't seen anything even slightly to this degree in all my walkings.

Optus@Home in Australia (one of two cable internet providers) have decided to firewall port 25 traffic (incoming) to their entire network except for their own mail servers. This means my mail server is virtually useless... Maybe ask the administration nicely to open up port 25 for certain IPs if the machine passes an open relay test? If no less personal solutions are available, then I will try it. Getting to talk to the administration of telcorp's here in Australia is harder than finding a tinny of VB in Alaska at the moment. They don't particularly care about their customers, and they know that (at the moment), there are only two cable providers in the whole country and both are as crap as the other. I was told that running servers on either of the cable networks was contrary to their AUPs so my mailserver runs on a 'permanent' dial-up to BPD which is enough bandwidth for my 20 or so family accounts and for various other uses. It also gives me a range of static IPs and an IN-ADDR classless routing lookup for the names. Anyway this is OT.. time to go.

qmail pop3d
Where do I put the startup commands for qmail pop3d? All the HOWTOs, which are excellent on all other aspects, just say, oh stick in a line that says: tcpserver 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup YOURHOST \ /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir I've tried putting in in /var/qmail/rc, /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run and running it from a command line, but the only one that works is the third option (which is obviously unsatisfactory).

Question about configuration of Qmail for relaying
I am a fresh user of Qmail and I have some question when I configurate it. I hope you may help me to solve these problem. Thx. 1) I have setup a Qmail and the domain of the mail server is mail.abc.com (abc is not the true domain) and now I want the users of def.com can also use the smtp service of my Qmail server. I have started the tcpserver with the following rules: 192.168.0.:allow,RELAYCLIENT="" def.com:allow,RELAYCLIENT="" abc:allow,RELAYCLIENT="" :allow Nevertheless, the smtp server still doesn't work. I just want the user with the email address [EMAIL PROTECTED] can send email through my Qmail server. What other things I need to do or where can I seek for help? Thank you very much if you can help me!!! cheers, CK

qmail-inject
Hi! Is there any way to run mails through a script after or before it enters qmail-inject? What i want, is to parse a Mail, and to remove unwanted characters from the mail. I already tried to replace qmail-inject with a script that afterwards calls qmail-inject, but that doesn't seem to work right, i sometimes get dublicated Mails !? The original problem i have, is that some remote smtp servers weren't happy with dos formatted mails (\n\r) it seems that those \n\r were removed, therefore the mail showed up in one single line. It strangely only happened with some smtp's qmail-qmail and qmail-exchange seem to have this problem, qmail-postfix seems to be ok.
