Re: Clustering qmail servers
I guess that depends how you set up your users, we have ours in a flat file: username [EMAIL PROTECTED] so we just run a script on that file and autocreate the .qmail files on a nightly cron job. soon I guess we'll create the flat file from an LDAP database but that's not done yet.

RE: SMTP-after-POP3 AUTH
If you use tcpserver (which I strongly suggest) you can use the relay control scripts on qmail.org. I use this method and it works very well. You can have tcpserver coexist with inetd, etc, just have inetd stop controlling those services. Follow the qmail HOWTO sections about tcpserver, and once you get that installed, the relayctrl scripts will make alot more sense.

What am I doing wrong??? FreeBSD 4.0, LWQ
Well, I finally figured that I would stick with FreeBSD as my OS for installing qmail and have played with it quite a bit to figure out some of the differences between it and some other *nix flavors. I installed the OS and qmail using the FreeBSD ports, but am running into many, many problems. (I am using "LWQ" and "running qmail", by Rich Blum, as guides and used the CD that comes with "running qmail" to install FreeBSD 4.0 and the qmail.) For a while, I had things running, but delivery to the local mailboxes was using the mbox as the local delivery destination, instead of Maildir - which I wanted to change it to, so I could use pop3d. I modified the rc file (which in FreeBSD 4.0 is the rc script in /var/qmail linked to a qmail.sh script located in /usr/local/etc/rc.d) and restarted the server. Now, if I try to send mail to any of the bogus users I had working with the mbox, no mail is received. It is as if the local delivery has stopped and/or cannot find the destination. I guess the real question I need to ask is whether someone has actually set up qmail on FreeBSD 4.0 using the qmail ports and following any given set of directions. I am a bit confused as to what I should do with the old sendmail daemon (although I followed the directions on "LWQ" as best I could - making the necessary modifications to match the location of sendmail on my BSD sys), how I should start up the qmail services and where the scripts should go. Any advice? Thanks, SF

Now, if I try to send mail to any of the bogus users I had working with the mbox, no mail is received. It is as if the local delivery has stopped and/or cannot find the destination. The qmail logs will say exactly why delivery is failing. You haven't given us enough information to even guess at the cause. If the logs don't provide a clear enough answer for you, post a snippet of them here, showing delivery failing for one of these bogus users, along with the output of `qmail-showctl`. I guess the real question I need to ask is whether someone has actually set up qmail on FreeBSD 4.0 using the qmail ports and following any given set of directions.

Re: POP Users w/o System Accounts
threeacesolutions.com:alias-threeacesolutions in virtualdomains will make [EMAIL PROTECTED] be controlled by ~alias/.qmail-threeacesolutions-info . No, ~alias means 'the home directory of user "alias"', which is needed by qmail. It doesn't involve the creation of any additional accounts. A standard qmail install will have ~alias as /var/qmail/alias . Therefore the necessary .qmail file is /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-threeacesolutions-info .

There are two main packages that do what you want: vmailmgr, by Bruce Guenter, and vpopmail. The things I would like to do are: 1. Have email/pop accounts without adding system users (/etc/passwd) Both packages support this. 2. Have clear seperation of the virual domains, with domain1 having a seperate directory with it's /var/spool/mail equivelent. So that mail would be delivered to /domain1-com/jradford and another would be /domain2-com/jradford vpopmail handles all virtual domains under one system account. Not sure how it separates them in the filesystem, as I don't use it. vmailmgr uses one system account per virtual domain, and all users for that domain are stored under that account's home directory. 3. Users getting their pop mail could use a username of [EMAIL PROTECTED] and other use [EMAIL PROTECTED] to login for their pop3 services and the qmail pop3 daemon would know to go to the right /domain directory to retrieve their email based on the username/domain combination. They both support this. Note, however, that your clients may have to replace the '@' with another character in their mail client, as some clients silently truncate a POP3 username at the first '@'. vmailmgr lets you choose your own character; IIRC ':' and '%' are common choices. vmailmgr also supports an invisible method of determing what virtual domain a user account belongs to, if you can have multiple IP addresses on the machine.

Selective relaying with xinetd
I am still having a problem getting selective relaying to work. Here is
my smtp file:
service smtp
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
protocol= tcp
wait = no
user = qmaild
server = /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env
server_args = /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
env = RELAYCLIENT=
}
The problem is that this creates a wide open relay. "only_from" doesn't
seem the right alternative, since it blocks incoming mail from other
addresses.
How would I properly allow relaying from our local net, and block
others?

Logfile Turnover
My /var/log/maillog file has suddenly decided that it's a good idea to turn over every hour. Obviously, this is a bad thing, as it will seriously clutter my system (not to mention make trakcing any problems highly irritating). I'm not quite sure what I would have done to cause this, or how to change it back to daily or so. Can anyone tell me where I can tweak this? Thanks, Alex Le Fevre __ Do You Yahoo!?

Honestly, I'm a bit newbieish to say concretely. I know that Qmail has been handling my e-mail, and that only e-mail was showing up in that file...but I don't really know what program would be handling logging Qmail's actions. Any idea how I could check? Alex __ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo! Mail - only $35 a year! http://personal.mail.yahoo.com/
