vpopmail

[Mate Wierdl]

Is this the right forum for this?
I installed the vpopmail rpm.

After that I ran, as root,

useradd a.b.c
vadddomain a.b.c

Interestingly, I got this 

+a.b.c-:a.b.c:521:521:/home/vpopmail/domains/a.b.c:-::

users/assign.  But

# id -u a.b.c
511

What gives?  (This is to investigate some ezmlm user's problem which I
suspect has to do with perms on a list set up under vpopmail)?

I installed

# rpm -q vpopmail
vpopmail-4.9.6-1

The rpm perhaps is suspect; it says, for example, that the License is
by D. J. Bernstein.

Calculations a provincial, fat, balding, ugly american sysdmin

are sometimes different sometimes not.  Tell your salespeople that
the net is run geeks like me.  :-)  Don't even get into clock skew

That's why sales people don't admin servers or write software.

There's a very good reason these headers are in UTC. If you send a
mail to the other side of the world, the next Received: line will also
be UTC. This means you don't have to do timezone calculations to see
how long a mail really took.

UTC is good. People requesting otherwise in their Received: header are
confused.

People complaining about Date: headers being in the wrong timezone
should get a new MUA. Making Date: headers user-readable is the MUA's
task. (unless some stupid misconfigured Eudora puts in Date headers in
other *languages*. I've seen that happen. I subsequently got blamed
for 'my qmail servers losing mail'. Turned out other Eudora's, when
receiving these broken Date: headers, considered the mail to be
infinitely old. Guess what these people were sorting on. Scrolling
down solved their problem :)

To play devil's advocate, you could also look at this situation in terms of
"if this server handles enough mail that all remoteconcurrency is sucked up
by one domain, than it's busy enough to justify raising the remote
concurrency limits, and upgrading the hardware if necessary".

I find that even a modest box can easily handle a remote concurrency of
100 or better with qmail.

Thanks for this info. I figured out that few minutes after I sent

There is a patch for the Qmail source that addresses this issue over at

I had someone in sales ask for this patch [1], and I was able to apply
this patch without any problems.

I don't know any qmail process which do that : it's most probably
your mail program which is doing that. For example in omail-webmail,
I also set a X-Sender, to let recipient see where the mail

Hi,

Which qmail process write the X-Sender field in the headers? I would like
to remove it, or to rewrite it, because it uses the name of my
host/domain, which are not real. BTW, how can i rewrite any header of my
outgoing mail?

I agree, but there is a different class of problem that one might want to
solve, which leads to the original problem. 'our' problem is that all of
the concurrency remote outgoing slots are being used to transfer mail to
one domain, whereas it /might/ be desireable for qmail to send sendable[0]
mail to a variety of domains.

For example, if I only have 40 outbound connect  slots I might not want
all of them to bet consumed sending mail to AOL, I might want  dedicate
some of my resources to delivering mail to other domains.

RjL

[0]sendable in the sense that there is a message that is on the 'a
delivery attempt should be made now' queue rather than any knowledge about
the sucess/failure of trying to deliver it

Re: pop3 dying

to this:
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -c 200 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup
  my.domain.com /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir &

See what that does.

It's a broken idea.  The admin of the remote server should set their
concurrency limits to something their system can handle -- if they don't,
then that's their problem, not yours.

The best way is if you notice that a large number of concurrent SMTP
sessions to a given server knocks it over, send the postmaster there a polite
mail telling them their configuration is broken.

Yes, if that's the number you are supplying as the -c option to the
tcpserver instance launching qmail-pop3d.  Double or quadruple it and see
if your problems stop.  You could also enable the logging from tcpserver for
that.

This is a busy server so the logs a flying pretty fast, connetions just
time out and I can't see any obvious failure messages in the logs.
Any suggestions for what I should grep for?

pop3 dying

[mick]

I've got a qmail system in which pop3 dies after about 30 minutes of use.
The system load average in low, can't see any obvious run away process,
the rest of the system works fine (sshd, smtp, http, ftp). killing all
qmail process's and restarting gets it to work for about another 30
minutes
Any suggestions as to where to start looking?

This is not the vpopmail mailing list.

I've tryed to create virtual domains on freebsd 4.0

Per-Domain Concurrency Patch

[Geoffrey Gussis]

I saw a mention in the archives about a per-domain concurrency patch 
- which would help make sure that a qmail server would not overload a 
recipient smtp server when a higher volume of mail was being sent 
out.  Is the patch available or are there other ways to achieve this 
result? I know you can set the concurrency remote lower - but was 
wondering how you can keep that number higher while still making sure 
that certain recipient domains were not overwhelmed.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Geoffrey

Every sane server sends bounces with an empty return-path. Even a
normal sendmail installation does.

Darn. I knew RedHat was clueless, but this...

Re: Time zones in Qmail.

You don't, at least not without patching qmail.

Maybe you would like it, but you shouldn't.  8-)

No, I'm serious.  So much email crosses time zones, it's easier to
follow the progress of a messages if all Received: time stamps are the
same time zone.

Most end users won't bother with Received: headers anyway.  As long as
the Date: header is in the local time zone of the sender, they're
happy.

software search

[sberg]

Does qmail have any tools or add-ons that allow for web mail without
creating a bunch of user accounts on the mail server itself?  I've got
MySQL running so I'm hoping that I can find something to allow webmail
from qmail and MySQL without creating a shell account for each webmail
user. I've done some hunting around but it seems like all the tools need
to have an actual account on the system for each webmail user.

I'm real new to MySQL but I do have it running and can probably figure out
what I need to do to it if I can find such a tool.

My goal is to have the webmail and alongside it a database for a locator
type purpose.  i.e. People can create a webmail account and store
information about themselves for other users to come and view later on.
Each user would need to have the ability to come back later on and update
their information.  And the system would need to keep each users
information safe from being changed by other users.

I'm not even sure if this stuff is possible but I was hoping that someone
on the list might be able to point me in the direction of some software
packages to get me a running start.

RE: tcpserver use of -B

[Andrew Richards]

Hi Timothy,

Looks like no-one answered this... orphan message. Here
goes,

Hmm, I don't get this problem. Perhaps you're putting the -B
option too late (the arguments are - from the man page)
   tcpserver [ opts] host port prog

Just to test this I tried
   tcpserver -B 'pwd is ' ip_address 999 pwd
then telnetted to port 999 on the ip_address which gave the
expected result (you may also need -R, -H and -l options to
avoid certain lookups, or the associated delays where these
will fail).

cheers,

Andrew.

Re: Timestamp in logs

[Kyle]

You can redirect the logfile to tai64nlocal (installed with daemontools)
like 'tai64nlocal < /var/log/qmail/current'.  That will print it to stdout.
I'm not sure how to go about actually converting it as it logs, if that's
possible.

The first field is the timestamp (providing you used a 't' argument to 
multilog).  To convert it to readable local time, pipe the log through
tai64nlocal.

qmail itself doesn't do this; you can use Dan's serialmail to do it, perhaps.

RE: switching a large sedmail installation to qmail right now ..

hi,

it is not a MX problem.

but the answer is "control/smtproutes"

control/smtproutes

quoting from qmail-control.0:

   smtproutes
Artificial SMTP routes.   Each  route  has  the  form
domain:relay,  without  any  extra spaces.  If domain
matches host, qmail-remote will connect to relay,  as
if  host  had  relay  as  its only MX.  (It will also
avoid doing any CNAME lookups on  recip.)   host  may
include  a  colon and a port number to use instead of
the normal SMTP port, 25:

   inside.af.mil:firewall.af.mil:26

relay may be empty; this tells qmail-remote  to  look
up MX records as usual.  smtproutes may include wild­
cards:

   .af.mil:
   :heaven.af.mil

Here any address ending with .af.mil (but not  af.mil
itself)  is  routed  by  its  MX  records;  any other
address is artificially routed to heaven.af.mil.

The qmail system does not protect you if  you  create
an  artificial  mail loop between machines.  However,
you are always safe using smtproutes if  you  do  not
accept mail from the network.

Take care,

Stefaan

We are right  now in the process of migrating a large sendmail installation.
I ran into a problem.
the sendmail installation we want to replace has a mailertable of +/- 24 entries
which tells the mta where to relay mails for a specific domain.
the syntax goes like this;
domain.org  mta1.otherdomain.org
sub.domain.org  mta2.differentdomain.org

I don't know how to implement this in qmail.

Please define "refuses". Doesn't execute? Gives an error? Siliently
discards mail?

Use one of the auto-responders on http://www.qmail.org/top.html?

  obviously you will use ldap for authentication because password should
be
same for pop-3 and imap , isnt it ?

  you just have to install openldap SDK on the same mechine on which you
are
planning to install courier-imap , and run ./configure
  make ,
make
install
it will get compiled with ldap authentication support , if not , then
you may
have to edit some paths in makefile of courier-imap

If you have access to the firewall, you might consider ip routing
resp. packet redirection, else ip tunneling from the qmail server
through the firewall might be possible. These ideas are for the
Qmail server to directly forward the mails for your domain to the
Exchange server which is, from my point of view, preferable.
