Can someone please enlighten me, PLEASE !! svscan ``scans'' the directory that you give it for other directories. For each directory it finds, it spawns a supervise process that monitors the service defined in the run file found in that directory. If a supervise process (which monitors a service) dies for some odd reason it will restart another supervise process on that directory to keep the service running. That's all it does, plain and simple. Hi, I tried to use svscan for something other than qmail and couldn't get it to work. The process in question, slapd, wasn't producing specific log files, and svscan refused to start. It works just fine for me with qmail when I specify the log files for qmail. Mike

The "Problem" you describe is actually part of the Maildir standard - the ":2," is added on line 192 of qmail-pop3d.c, after a POP3 QUIT, as messages are moved from Maildir/new to Maildir/cur; the meaning of ":2," is detailed at, http://cr.yp.to/proto/maildir.html Importantly, however, this has no effect on the UIDL given by qmail-pop3d, which deletes the trailing ":2," (it uses the rest of the message's filename as the UIDL). So to your original question - it's not clear from this what you mean by "mail browser" - more details will help people on this list to understand the issue, and increase the likelyhood of your getting a solution to your problem. cheers, Andrew. -- From: pratibha[SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 01 February 2001 12:01 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:retr problem File: ATT0.txt dear all, i have faced a problem

Re: qmail packaging
This is news to me. I've got the Red Hat 7 Deluxe Workstation CD's (yes I paid) and I swear I didn't see qmail on them. If I had a single RPM to install qmail with, life would have been much easier these past few weeks. rpm -Uvh qmail-thewholeshebang-1.03-memphis-i386.rpm Regards, -ryan The three great virtues of programming are laziness, impatience, and hubris, but bigotry makes the open-source world go round. - Original Message - From: Aaron Carr [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 05, 2001 1:19 PM Subject: qmail packaging Before I even ask this question, let me say that the intent is not to start a flame war about packaging, or about Linux distros, or anything else for that matter. I read an article last week that was a comparison of all of the major Linux distros. The usual stuff, installation, features, ease of use. One of the categories was MTA. It was said in this comparison that Redhat Linux 7 Deluxe Workstation comes with Sendmail, Qmail, and Postfix. I know that Redhat 7 comes with Sendmail installed by default. Postfix is on the Powertools CD. I see no mention anywhere though about Qmail. Has anyone else heard anything about Qmail being packaged with Redhat? Or was this just a typo as I suspect? Thanks.

qmail email server
I'm trying to setup Qmail as an email server that My local clients can login to, read and reply to email without downloading it (IMAP?). I setup qmail+tcpserver+daemon tools via the docs I found on www.linuxdoc.org. But even "adding" a user didn't seem to work. I can't authenticate to it. Can someone point me in the right direction on how to set this up. I can't seem to find any concise documentation on setting up an email server like this. One other note is I believe I'm close. Qmail does send out email if I login to the box itself and use the mail command. I can specify any email address/domain I want and qmail does correctly deliver it. I want to be able to connect to the server from a windoze machine with outlook express and read and reply to email. My next step is I do want to get POP3 working on there. Do I use qpop3d? Thanks!

Re: virtualdomain/smtproute
I asked something _similar_ last week. But it's not exactly the same. See Chris Johnson's answer to "translating or remapping domains to another domain", 2001/01/29 My situation was I wanted: [EMAIL PROTECTED] to go to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No changes to the username portion. The answer to my situation (thanks to Chris) : echo 'corp.rocketcash.com' /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts echo 'corp.rocketcash.com:alias-rocketcash' /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains echo '| forward "$DEFAULT"@corp.netzero.net' \ /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-rocketcash-default But my understanding of your situation is: Outside - firewall - MSX with AV - Internal mailservers u@aimtv - u@aimtv - u@aimtv f@rocketcash - fipl@netzero - fipl@netzero And now you also want fipl@rocketcash - fipl@netzero - fipl@netzero Looks possible but may require some modification - depends how you do the firstname to longname thing.

We have qmail running on a firewall box and forwarding to the corporate exchange server... We have users from one domain: aimtv.com which we use smtproutes to forward directly to a virus scan box... all the email addresses in the aimtv domain match those found on the forwarding domain, so smtproutes is appropriate. I'd like all our domains to be that way, but each domain that the virus scan box checks needs extra licensing ($$)... so, we have another domain, corp.rocketcash.com... some email addresses are [EMAIL PROTECTED] the mail comes in and I use a .qmail file to forward these to [EMAIL PROTECTED] future new addresses will be along the line of [EMAIL PROTECTED] which will forward to the equivalent on corp.netzero.net is there a way to catch all those future addresses and forward them to @corp.netzero.net w/o using smtproutes and without creating a separate .qmail for each new employee? would a catchall .qmail file be able to do that? i don't see how. it makes sense to use smtproutes but i cannot from what i can see. any suggestions?

tcprules and CIDR notation?
Hi folks, I'm working on a qmail install that requires a rather long and very specific list of IP ranges from which to allow relaying. Is there a way to build tcprules entries using CIDR notation? For example: 206.217.93.0/25:allow,RELAYCLIENT="" If not, how would you specify this? Better yet, how would you specify a much larger CIDR block like: 38.29.0.0/16:allow,RELAYCLIENT="" Drew Linsalata The Gotham Bus Company Internet Server and Carrier Neutral Co-Location http://www.gothambus.com

ms-tnef attachments
Has any encountered this problem? I've noticed some Microsoft MUA users send attachments with the mime-type ms-tnef. When I receive the file via my qmail setup, it is unable to convert the attachment accordingly, and I end up with a file in the form like message.dat I have some tools to convert it, but I'm looking for more of an 'automated' solution, meaning for it to be converted as qmail receives it. It seems to be a MS problem, and I don't seem to find a patch or whatever to fix Any assistance, please? Thanks in advance. HB
anybody can't help me insert some text in the end of every message my mailserver relay for?
