problem creating virtual user accounts

2001-01-10 Thread vishwanath kalbagilmath

Dear all,

I have shifted sendmail to qmail and its working fine.
Right now am having shell accounts to all users, i
want it done with single common user shell account and
many virtual user accounts, hope you are getting my
problem.

I tried creating an account called popusr, then i
created directory /home/vishoo with 700 permission,
with a .qmail file in it contaning
/home/vishoo/Mailbox.

I have updated /user/assign as 
=vishoo:popusr:uid:gid:/home/vishoo:::
and also build a cdb file by running qmail-newu.

After doing all these the mail i sent to vishoo is
appearing in ~alias/Mailbox.

How to make mails sent vishoo appear in
/home/vishoo/Mailbox, should i need to say aslias some
where, kindly help... asap.

Thanx
vishwanath

problem creating single user id

2001-01-10 Thread vishwanath kalbagilmath

hello all,

I have installed qmail and its running pretty fine.
I have lots of users in my domain, Having one shell
account per user account is not feasible, So how do i
change to a single system account and still have
thousands of user account.

I do not use pop to retr mails, i have my own
mechanism for that, all i want is when mail comes from
other domains i want mails to be placed into user
account even though he/she is not owning shell account
or system account.

And i just want to know how to tune Timeouts for
sending mails to out side domains like the one
sendmail has in sendmail.cf file and how do i
forcibely push the mails out like "sendmail -q -v" in
qmail.

Please do inform me as soon as possible.

Thanx a lot

:)  Good point.  Okay, the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list, the
[EMAIL PROTECTED] list, the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list, and the mgetty

I've got a customer who's delivering ten million messages a day or so.
Once we've got more confidence in the code I'll install it on his
server.  Or servers, rather.  :)

Now, who wants to work on cqmtp (compressed quick mail transport

I wouldn't want to estimate what the upper limit wil be like.  I will
say that I've handled something like 20 times that much mail in a day
on a single Cyrix 166 with 96M ram, though.

In fact, the upper limit might quite possibly end up depending on disk
throughput, and you say nothing about your disk subsystem.  However,
for your 2000 emails, don't sweat it.

qmail-smtpd-auth

2001-01-10 Thread Bjorn Nilsen

I'm considering patching qmail with the qmail-smtpd-auth patch. The reason
is that the roaming user pop before smtp function in vpopmail doesn't work
very well with my clients mail clients. In particular if Outlook has mail in
the Outbox it will always send that first no matter what. It does not have
the option to just check pop.
I am rather nervous about patching rock solid qmail with a 3rd party patch.
So I'm interested in what experience people have had with it and if it works
well. Also if it works well with vpopmail which I also depend on.

cheers,
Bjorn

That header is important as it's used for fool-proof loop
detection. If you remove it you risk looping email on your
server. Consequently qmail has no standard provision for removing it,
so you have to write a filter with perl/awk at the point of final
delivery.

Is the loop risk worth the assumed benefit? Btw. What benefit are you
trying to get by removing them? Perhaps it can be achieved in some
other way?


Regards.

Fw: allowing relay for certain hosts only

Hi all!
 
Here's a program for everyone interested 
in:
 
I had the problem that my mailserver had to relay 
mail from my masqueraded lan and at the same time not to allow spammers from 
outside to relay with qmail
 
So I quickly wrote this program (and named it 
SelectiveRelay), which simply sets the environment vars if a client's IP matches 
a given subnet mask
 
You can get it at http://russe.dhs.org/SelectiveRelay/selectiverelay.htm

I don't think locals lets you use wildcards like that.  You have to
list every domain explicitly.  If you have no defaultdomain, it
defaults to your me, which is not included in your locals.  So you can
either provide a defaultdomain that is in your locals, or include your
me in your locals - which you should probably do anyway.

How do I use binmail (aka mail(1))

2001-01-10 Thread Medi Montaseri

I have installed Qmail on a Linux box and working fine.

However cron uses mail(1) (or binmail) to send the output to owners of
cron jobs.
Testing 'mail user' does not currently work. I have replaced
sendmail(1d) but sending 'mail user@domain' works.

Question, do I have to modify control/local or some other control file
to  be able to use 'mail user' ?

Here is some more data

My hostname is 'samba.sc.prepass.com'
control/me contains mail.sc.prepass.com as mail is a CNAME to samba
control/locals contain 'sc.prepass.com' and '.sc.prepass.com'

Should I change smtproutes or me or locals to achieve what I want?

Thanks

Re: Was my qmail hacked?

2001-01-10 Thread Chris Gray

Hi Mark:

Thanks for your reply.

I see I have a lot of work to do. Unfortunately I'm not a web server
technical guy, JUST a programmer.

Maybe I shouldn't have assumed that qmail was where I should start looking
but it seemed reasonably to a non-technical person that qmail was sending my
PHP generated email to the outside world.

> That your system or script has been compromised almost
> certainly has nothing to do with qmail

So my question should have been,
"How can my system be tampered with to force qmail to send out 10,000 bogus
emails?"

Here is the PHP script. I have run similar scripts through the same web
server with no problems. I echoed each email correctly to my browser screen
and have a copy of the screen output from the offending occurance which
shows a single email being generated for each of the 15 recipients as
expected. Don't tell me the hacker bothered to fake that as well.

";
 $name = $NM[0];
 $mail = $NM[1];
// ==
$message="
Hey $name!
Blah Blah Blah
Best regards,

mail($mail,"GoldGame News",$message,"From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]");

I never said it was a qmail problem. I asked how qmail could be hacked.

Anyway, simply by elimination.

Users?
Are you serious! Do I have to show you the snarly and occasionally humorous
messages I received from them? I received 100's of these bogus emails
myself. Would you like me to send them to you?  heheheheheheh

Database?
This email application doesn't use one, yet. The recipients were hard-coded
for testing purposes.

PHP script?
How can PHP generate 10,000 emails from a simple 15 iteration FOR loop?
Maybe the 'explode' function exploded?
The PHP mail() function may have gone beserk but only on that single
occasion, but if it did why would the 10,000 emails get sent in 3 or 4
batches spread over 6 hours? Well it's possible... I know an NT box takes

Well, lemme see...

You've given no examples of the "identical emails" so we can't help by
looking at those.

You've given no relevant log entries showing the multiple delivery
attempts to the addresses in question, so we can't help by looking at
these.

You haven't shown us the headers that "don't show anything unusual" so
we can't confirm that your guess is correct.


You've given no information about:

o   your operating system
o   your qmail install
o   what sort of access other people have to these scripts
o   what your php scripts look like
o   who has access to those scripts - can a web server get at them?


Come to think of it, all you really said is "something went wrong, can
you help?". Surely you don't think that's enough information, do you?
If you do, I highly recommend that you pay someone to look into the
problem for you.

Furthermore, you've posted what appears to be a general security
problem. That your system or script has been compromised almost
certainly has nothing to do with qmail. What makes you think it's a
problem with qmail rather than say, your OS, or your PHP scripts, or
your database, or your users?

SMTP AUTH Patch

Hi,

I've authored YAQSAP (Yet Another qmail SMTP AUTH Patch) which is a bit
more DJBized than the others right now in that it uses DJB's libraries
exclusively.  Functionally, it's not all that different from Krzysztof
Dabrowski's version except that it sets TCPREMOTEINFO to the
authenticated username for logging in a Received header.

Mr. Dabrowski has expressed an interest in merging my patch into his
efforts, something which I find reasonable.  Until then, if you happen

QMTP sublist

2001-01-10 Thread Peter van Dijk

QMTP-delivering sublist up and running. Send to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] to use it.

The host does SMTP too, if you feel like just using a closer sublist
and not even care about QMTP.

Will create more sublists as people show demand.

Don't do that. You need to accept mail from null envelope senders, as
those are bounce messages (bouncing those will irk many postmasters

Big misunderstanding. This list isn't designed to help newbies, it is for
discussions regarding qmail.
We are all helping newbies, _if_ they have done their homework and reag the
documentation. As we aren't paid support stuff we  can expect they've done

I started writing a qmail version who use a new SMTP syntax to start a
QMTP conversation over a SMTP protocol:

S> 220 ready
C> HELO mail.test
S> 250 mail.test
C> PROTO QMTP

After this command, a standard smtp server returns a 5xx reply:
sendmail:> 500 Command unrecognized: "PROTO QMTP"
qmail:> 502 Unimplemented

My qmail-smtpd start a patched qmail-qmtpd (responding "421 failure"
if exec fail); qmail-qmtpd then reply

S> 220 switching to QMTP

and then start the new protocol.

I identified the sources to patch:
qmail-smtpd.c, qmail-qmtpd.c, and qmail-remote.c .

The patch for qmail-smtpd.c is trivial: a new smtpcommands[] entry, a new
procedure smtp_proto who check the argument and execute "bin/qmail-qmtpd"
(and print 421 if exec fails).

I then tried to patch qmail-qmtpd adding only an option to send the 220
reply, but qmail-qmtpd does not implement some useful features that must
be present on a public mail exchanger (i.e. no relay control ...).

May be it's a good idea, but the task is too big for me.
Someone interested?

It's no good idea to start a SMTP conversion and switch to QMTP later. MXPS 
(http://cr.yp.to/proto/mxps.txt) is the better solution. Russel Nelson has 
released a patch for qmail-remote to do that.

Yeap. Those mailing lists suck.
Fortunately, this is the _qmail discussion list_, not a list to help
newbies, so we don't fall in that category.

This is a problem. qmail-smtpd should wait on child qmail-queues, or
those zombie qmail-queues should be cleaned up by init if qmail-smtpd
exits. What operating system are you running? How are you running
tcpserver/qmail-smtpd?
