Migrating from EIMS, and the percent hack
Hello I have a mail server currently running EIMS (Eudora Internet Mail Server, a descendent of the Apple Internet Mail Server) running on a Macintosh. I'm keen to migrate to Qmail. The one box currently serves as inbound mta, outbound mta, and pop3 server. Has anyone else ever done this? I'd be happy to hear of any issues etc that you may have encountered. The first big issue that is on my mind is the "percent hack" for virtual domains. EIMS implements virtual domains for pop3 in an interesting manner... a user who's email address is, say, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" will have to enter the following as his username in his email client: "peter%no.domain" Is there any support for this with qpopper, or any other pop3 server that works with qmail???

qmail-scanner question
Asked earlier here about virus scanning and qmail, regarding how to set it up so that i can define in some way which of the domains that should be scanned. People said that i could use the qmail-scanner (with some modifications..). The problem is that im not really that good in perl so i wont risk bringing down our mail system testing it. So i wonder, is there anyone out there who has made a system for selective virus scanning with qmail? So you dont have to scan all of the mail going trough.. only the domains you specify..?

Re: qmail-scanner question
I'm using AMaVis, which works as replacing the original qmail-local and qmail-remote. I think that you could try to put the scanner script in the delivery instruction of the domains you want scanned, instead of replacing qmail-remote and local Regards, Milen Asked earlier here about virus scanning and qmail, regarding how to set it up so that i can define in some way which of the domains that should be scanned.

However, it should be noted that servers which do return this error are revealing valuable information -- spammers can use this technique to build a list of valid email addresses, simply by connecting to port 25 and throwing a dictionary at it. I do not disagree. However you are damned if you do and damned if you don't. Ever had a spam random attack? Sounds just like the dictionary attack just get squillions of messages directed at squillions of potential mailboxes. What would you rather handle: spam sent to the valid few or bouncing heaps? The spammers will get some through either way and sometimes an innocent forged MTA will have to handle all the bounces if the rejection is not immediate. No simple answer, I think.

Imagine the following situation: there are 2 qmail+vpopmail servers; say, mail1 and mail2. user@mail1 have a mailbox and also copies all his mail to user@mail2, via some forwarding script. Eventually, user@mail2 goes over quota; the next message forwarded from user@mail1 gets bounced. Imagine that user@mail1 is over quota too; than, the bounce will bounce AFTER SOME TIME, WITH BRAND NEW MESSAGE. Not recognising that bounce as a bounce, mail2 will bounce that bounce again. And two servers will pingpong, generating huge amount of traffic (actually, this amount is channel-bounded). The suggested fix is to create a new control file for qmail, badtcptto, consisting of pairs of values: user@mail1"User is over

W dniu Mon, Feb 12, 2001 at 03:54:38PM -0500, Dave Sill wystuka(a): I had concurrencyremote set to 40, but with this setting it blocked my queue for several hours! (some of receipments are very far from me), so i switched to 120 and it's better because queue is blocked for 30 minutes at most, but i takes all my bandwith... I'm searching for some solution which could make "private queue" for this client... He injects through SMTP... If he injects them via SMTP, it's a bit trickier. You could run /var/qmail2/bin/qmail-smtpd on a non-standard port, e.g., 2500, and tell him to configure his mail client to use port 2500. You could also configure your main tcpserver to listen to port 25 on the existing IP address (and 127.0.0.1) and set up another tcpserver on an aliased IP address dedicated to that client. Then you'd have to tell him to configure his mailer to that IP alias. Ok, this solution would work but isn't best... I't would block all my client traffic (even short - one recipient letters). Following this thread - is there possibility to check before sending mail to queue if it has more than (for example) 50 recipient it wolud be forwarded to this second qmail-queue. This would be ideal solution... There's tarpit patch which checks if there are no more recipients that number from control/tarpitcount file. Maybe it is possible to alter this patch to suit my needs...

In the doc, there's a line which says; "Meanwhile it prints one line on descriptor 2 to log its activity." Ok. Now this is where I start sounding stupid... do I need to redirect descriptor 2 to a file ? If so, where do I define this ? Jean

amavis w/qmail
Hi All, I am working on installing amavis for scanning inbound/outbound emails with NAI's Virus Scan engine. I have a question, in running the ./configure for amavis, it says it needs reformime (which is a part of the maildrop package). If I compile and install maildrop, does it interfere at all with qmail, or is there a way to only compile and install the reformime binary from the maildrop package? -Bill

Re: Strange qmail-smtpd hang with sympatico.ca clients
So, I've heard from several people that sympatico works fine for them. Is there any other obvious explanation why a remote end would hang after sending the DATA command and getting a 354 answer back? Is there a way to force qmail to not accept an EHLO from a certain host, requiring them to use HELO? Thanks in advance... Colin I have a running qmail-1.03 system (on FreeBSD) and I'm getting a very strange problem receiving mail from users on sympatico.ca I see a qmail-smtpd process and a qmail-queue process for each incoming connection, but these just sit there, not doing anything. I presume they're timing out after a really long time. I used to be running rblsmtpd under tcpserver, and I've taken out both and am now running a (known good) configuration under inetd. Mail receiving works from ALL other domains, but I have never successfully received mail from sympatico under my qmail. Now, at work, the qmail server (which is behind a cisco pix firewall) has no trouble with sympatico things, and I'm thinking that the difference there is that the pix prevents an EHLO handshake. I've recorded a session on the problem server with recordio, and here is the result: 737 220 xyzzy.orange-carb.org ESMTP^M 737 EHLO tomts7-srv.bellnexxia.net^M 737 250-xyzzy.orange-carb.org^M 737 250-PIPELINING^M 737 250 8BITMIME^M 737 MAIL FROM:^M 737 250 ok^M 737 RCPT TO:[EMAIL PROTECTED]^M 737 250 ok^M 737 DATA^M 737 354 go ahead^M After this point, the session does nothing, seemingly forever or for a long time. The socket is still open... netstat reports: tcp0 0 xyzzy.smtptomts7.bellnexxi.6443 ESTABLISHED The question is, why doesn't sympatico start sending data? It has the go ahead... Has anyone else out there noticed problems receiving from sympatico? That server claims to be running InterMail (InterMail vM.4.01.03.00 201-229-121) for receiving anyway... Are there problems with InterMail? Any hints? If you want to test yourself it works even with bounces. Just mail to something like [EMAIL PROTECTED] and see if you get a bounce back.

Amavis-0.2.1 and qmail (almost)
Hi All, After installing reformime and tnef on my machine which runs qmail, I was able to configure amavis-0.2.1 with the NAI anti-virus engine 4.1.20 from Network Associates, but in reading the qmail.README, and viewing the output from ./configure --enable-qmail (listed below) checking if any virusscanners have been installed at all... yes checking if tar removes leading / from archive... yes checking event logging... yes checking whether to use syslog... no checking directory for logfile(s)... /var/log checking whether to keep a backup of infected mails... yes checking directory to move infected mails to... /var/virusmails checking maximum depth of recursive unpacking (maxlevel)... 20 send virus reports to admin... yes checking checking user to mail reports to... virusalert checking send notification to sender... yes checking send notification to receiver... no checking from address in reports... postmaster checking header rewrite... yes updating cache ./config.cache creating ./config.status creating Makefile creating src/Makefile creating src/zipsecure/Makefile creating src/securetar/Makefile creating src/rspawnmsg/Makefile creating src/scanmails/Makefile creating src/scanmails/checkaccount creating src/scanmails/scanmails creating config.h ** * AMaViS 0.2.1 has successfully been configured * and will install using following pathnames: * * - zipsecure : /usr/bin/zipsecure * - securetar : /usr/bin/securetar * - scanmails : /usr/sbin/scanmails * - rspawnmsg : /usr/sbin/rspawnmsg * * AMaViS is configured for use with qmail * ** To accept the above, type "make" Now, is the /var/log correct in this case, since all qmail output on my system gets posted to /var/log/qmail, and these lines have some concern as well: send virus reports to admin... yes checking checking user to mail reports to... virusalert now, I don't have a user virusalert, so should I make a(n) alias for it? the final thing is from README.qmail: If you're trying to use AMaViS with qmail, you need to install qmail as usual, then in /var/qmail/bin rename qmail-local to qmail-local-real and qmail-remote to qmail-remote-real. Then make symbolic links from qmail-local and qmail-remote to /usr/sbin/scanmails. If I do the above after issuing make, will this cause qmail to break at all?

I`m fully armed now with the latest anti-virus software. Kaspersky Lab has information over "snowhite" and issued a warning over this highly dangerous Hybris worm. (http://www.kaspersky.com) So what do you see in your mailbox wenn it comes; A message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] (has nothing to do with sex, doesn`t even exist) but it starts with "Today, Snowhite was turning 18." all the rest you can imagine. The Dwarfs had a *huge* surprise. Snowhite was anxious etc etc. The real danger has the attachment! So I was really pissed off. Reply to sender is useless (of course) but... if you go to, for example Yahoo USA, and you type [EMAIL PROTECTED] then you will see how many warnings there already are, like Be Careful guys - www.ezboard.com about Snowhite attacks or Columbia Law School Virus Information. Well this was serious shit and I thought it came from the nearfield. (The source is probably in Latin-America). Best wishes from Rembrandt L , Netherlands

avoiding multi-rcpt duplicates with fetchmail-like system
Greetings. I apologize in advance if this question has been answered in docs or previous discussion - it seems like it should have been. :) I *have* read LWQ, the Howto, man qmail-local, man dot-qmail, and info about fastforward and similar packages, and still haven't found the clarification I need: We have some virtual domains on our server (FreeBSD 4.2, qmail 1.03, tcpserver, daemontools, etc). For one of them, the user wants to have all the mail sent to any address @domain.com piled into one Mailbox file (we're using Mailbox, not Maildir) so they can then download it via POP and route it internally at their organization. Seems pretty standard, prepped easily on our side via .qmail-default. The concern they have is that if a message is From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] they'll get three copies of the message in the monolithic Mailbox file on our server (I tested this and they will with default setup). This is bad for them because apparently their re-routing software only looks at "To:" lines and not "Delivered-To:" lines - I don't know if that's standard or not. So, the desired solution is to find a way to only deposit *one* copy of the message in the monolithic Mailbox file, but with headers intact such that their software can re-deliver the message to all the appropriate recipients. I found this script: http://www.qmail.org/eliminate-dups but I'm not sure this is its intended (or possible) use. I'm hoping someone can say "drop X into a .qmail-default file and you're off to the races" or, less preferably, "tell your user to get a clue, because of X" (or the even less preferable "you should get a clue, period.").

Re: SMTP routing based on From: address?
Charles Cazabon writes: Grant Edwards [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Alternatively, is there any way I could use two different "sendmail" binaries/wrappers to pre-determine which SMTP server the mail is routed to? Have two different qmail installs (/var/qmail1 and /var/qmail2), each of which has an smtproutes entry to the appropriate mailserver. Then write a wrapper script around qmail-queue. Check the envelope sender in that, and based on it's contents, call either /var/qmail1/bin/qmail-queue or /var/qmail2/bin/qmail2-queue. It turns out to be even simpler than that.

[OT?] svscan restart - how???
I know this may be off-topic, but since most of the people on this list seem to be familiar with svscan, I thought I might try. I use svscan to start all of my qmail daemons and can't figure out how to restart it safely on my FreeBSD 4.0 sys. Thus far, I have tried to kill, HUP, etc. for the service itself, with disastrous results... What I am trying to do is simply restart all of the qmail daemons. Perhaps I'm going about it the wrong way. pop3d, smtp and the qmail rc scripts are all started with links to /service. Startup is going very smoothly, same with shutdown - but no restart. Can someone help? Thanks, SF
How do I make qmail act like mail? (fwd)
I appologize, but I am not sure if I'm on the list, so can you please cc: any response to [EMAIL PROTECTED]? Thanks. :) I have been running qmail for quite some time now. I recently came across a script that I'd like to use, but it is set up to use the "mail" program. I was wondering if there was a wrapper or some other add-on that makes linux think "mail" is installed, but in fact just interprets "mail" commands to qmail commands. Rewriting the code below would also work. I have been experimenting from the command line, unfortunately with not much luck. :( cat $TMPDIR/checkreport.$$ | $MAIL -s "$HOSTNAME $DATE ACTIVE SYSTEM ATTACK!" $SYSADMIN The variables are no problem. I just am not sure how to cat a file to /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject and also set a subject and recipient. :( Thank you, Billy
Re: How do I make qmail act like mail? (fwd)
Don't you hate it when you figure out your own question? :) I was wondering if there was a wrapper or some other add-on that makes linux think "mail" is installed, but in fact just interprets "mail" commands to qmail commands. cat $TMPDIR/checkreport.$$ | $MAIL -s "$HOSTNAME $DATE ACTIVE SYSTEM ATTACK!" $SYSADMIN I guess you can make qmail act like sendmail, but sendmail still isn't /bin/mail. :) But in /var/qmail/bin there are plenty of other "wrapper" type programs. Here's the same code from above, modified to work with /var/qmail/bin/mailsubj, which takes input from stdin and allows you to specify a subject and a recipient. cat $TMPDIR/checkreport.$$ | $MAIL "$HOSTNAME $DATE ACTIVE SYSTEM ATTACK!" $SYSADMIN

I'll check that next time it happens. I think that I've checked it before, but I've tried so much stuff that I can't be sure. Try doing a tcpdump on the link between the two machines, and see if any packets make it out at all. I will. Can you even ping ezekiel from ariel when the problem is happening? Maybe ariel has a flaky network card or driver. Check the syslog of ariel for odd messages. Yes, ping works fine. When the "problem" occurs, I can still access the Internet from ezekiel thru ariel (using MASQ) without any problems. Funny you should mention syslogd...I changed my setup a couple of weeks ago so that ariel logs directly to syslogd on ezekiel. Logging continues to work fine when the "problem" occurs, with no unusual syslog messages (ditto before I set ariel to log to ezekiel). Everything else seems to work normally anytime the "problem" occurs...ariel just won't talk to ezekiel's SMTP port (BTW ezekiel will continue to talk to ariel's SMTP port though).

Re: [OT?] svscan restart - how???
Svscan should not be stopped. It just enter the directories and spawns supervise processes. Supervise should be used to start/stop services. You can use the svc command to restart your qmail system. man svc might help you.

qmail+mysql not looking up for users in the database
Hello, I installed qmail+mysql patch (from here: http://www.softagency.co.jp/mysql/qmail2.en.html) and everything was working fine. Today i was playing with maildrop and I don't know how that happend, but qmail is not working anymore with mysql authentication. Now it works with /etc/passwd ... The weird thing is that it is still querying the database and it gets the row with the user data (i checked the mysql.log) , but for some reason it then looks at /etc/passwd, does not finds the user and shows Sorry,_no_mailbox_here_by_that_name_(#5.1.1) ... I checked everything, the permissions are ok, the control/sqlserver file has mysql_use yes attribute , check_host is set to "no" users exist in the database but why it then looks at /etc/passwd ? I only can mail to users in /etc/passwd now ... any ideas where to look for this problem? Also, if the user exists in /etc/passwd why doesn't it even look at mysql database? this was not exactly i was expecting installing this patch. Thanks for any help in advance nikolai
