Host masquerading
My QMAIL host is "hostname.te.astro.it" The recipient of msg send by [EMAIL PROTECTED] MUST SEE the msg send by [EMAIL PROTECTED] (without "hostname").

Relay test
Hi all I have put Qmail in my PC and I'd like to know how to avoid my PC from spammers. Imagine that IP address is 192.168.1.1 I have checked PC using URL: http://www.abuse.net/cgi-bin/relaytest?ADDR=192.168.1.1&ALIAS=YES and I have obtained this message: Relay test 8>>> RSET<<< 250 flushed>>> MAIL FROM:<<< 250 ok>>> RCPT TO:<"[EMAIL PROTECTED]"><<< 553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1) Relay test 9>>> RSET<<< 250 flushed>>> MAIL FROM:<<< 250 ok>>> RCPT TO:<"relaytest%abuse.net"><<< 250 ok Relay test resultHmmn, at first glance, host appeared to accept a message for relay.

Pardon? relay-ctrl is a package by Bruce Guenter, specifically designed to allow selective relaying from clients with dynamically assigned IP addresses. If it required static IP addresses, it would serve absolutely no purpose. Perhaps you were thinking of IP-based selective relaying with tcpserver? > 1.

They should be able to set it in their MUA very simply. If you must work around this, look in Dan's FAQ for the fixme/fixup solution.

Duplicate the problem with a client other than Outlook -- one that actually provides a meaningful error message. If necessary, duplicate it by connecting to port 25 on your server with telnet.

Not sure exactly what you're referring to. If you mean that you can only establish one connection at a time to the SMTP port of your qmail server, then check the options being given to the tcpserver instance for qmail-smtpd.

Re: Return address for autoresponder

I have been looking for the ones > publicly available, but I was wondering to what address I have to > respond to, namely: Do you need to look for Reply-To: first and if that > header is unavailable look for From:? It depends on what the auto responder is doing. If it is a delivery status notification (for example an out of the office reply), then the message should be sent to the envelope sender address. If it is an automated reply to a request of some sort, than use reply-to, from and then sender. If there are resent-* headers present, then use the resent versions of the previous headers. If none of the above are provided and you still want to try to reply, then use the envelope sender address. You may want to include the original received headers somewhere in the reply so that it is easier for the recipient to deal with mischief.

Re: relay-ctrl and qmail
Hi, I was misleaded by the term "relay-ctrl" - it was to little specific. The original posting simply said: "After installing this package, I found that I could not login to check my email (ERR: authorization failed). I had to uncomment the pop-3 and smtp lines in inetd.conf to be able to connect to the server at all (these had been commented out during by the installation routine)." It was not specific enough to point me to Bruce Guenter's solution. Maybe there was some private conversation going on before. There are serval implementations out now, including Bruce's. Actually, instead of saying "Patches are available" I should say "Enhancements are available". For anybody, to subsume Bruce's development under "Alternative Checkpassword Implementations" is a little bit short-breathed. We are back to the question, who to organzie the qmail home page.

RE: Can Qmail send out 2 million mails in 12 hour window?
The messages themselves have been pre-generated and exist as a file and is qmail-injected to place them in the queue. The message is the same across the board with the exception of some personalization, such as the name. Since there are so many messages, we use a perl script to place them in the queue at a certain rate, i.e. 50 msgs/second, or whatever rate we choose. By injecting them at this rate, we can see whether qmail can keep up with our intended rate. With this in mind, does this lessen the burden of disk I/O? I have heard of DNSCACHE, currently BIND is running directly on those machines. Would it be worthwhile changing out? Can I expect to relive a bottleneck in this process?

You're going to run into the qmail-send bottleneck: qmail-send won't dispatch messages to qmail-local or qmail-remote while there are messages in queue/todo. So not much will go out until all 2M messages are injected. Therefore, throttling the injections is counterproductive. >I have heard of DNSCACHE, currently BIND is running directly on those >machines. Would it be worthwhile changing out? Can I expect to relive a >bottleneck in this process? The only bottleneck you need to relieve is the current bottleneck. If/when you get to the point that DNS lookups are the bottleneck, then dnscache would be the thing to try. Your first bottleneck is going to be qmail-send handling new injections. After that, it'll be disk I/O or concurrencyremote, most likely. >Why would you avoid sorting by domain? I would think it would be more >efficient handshaking. qmail-send is going to pass each delivery to a separate qmail-remote. Sorting will only cause qmail to pound on each domain sequentially. If your first 2000 subscribers are on AOL and your concurrencyremote is 400, you're going to initiate 400 simultaneous connections to AOL right off the bat. >No, I am not using EZMLM. How could I benefit from using it? If you need customized messages, you can't. If you could use it, you'd benefit by automatic bounce handling and much more efficient delivery--one message with 2M recipients vs. 2M messages with 1 recipient. -Dave

As long as you are injecting messages, qmail won't perform at full speed. Play with that rate, maybe no limiting *is* the best option. > I have heard of DNSCACHE, currently BIND is running directly on those > machines. Would it be worthwhile changing out? Can I expect to relive a > bottleneck in this process? If you're sending out that many mails, I wouldn't be surprised if BIND kept on caching all data and eventually filled all available memory. Since BIND doesn't limit it's memory use, it will grow as long as records don't expire. Extreme growth breaks your server, less extreme growth still limits the amount of memory your OS can dedicate to disk caching and buffering, which hurts performance. Use dnscache :) > Why would you avoid sorting by domain? I would think it would be more > efficient handshaking. If you insert 10.000 messages to the same domain together, qmail will be spending lots of time on all these messages before it handles messages for another domain. If this domain is down, it will bottleneck the rest. If you don't care about domains at all, it's much harder for a single domain to use all your remote concurrency. > No, I am not using EZMLM. How could I benefit from using it? ezmlm is an instantly-working mailinglist tool, that saves you time coding. It also injects a message into the queue *once*, which means there is no I/O problem. qmail then delivers this *one* message to *all* recipients, in such a way that ezmlm can do reliable bouncehandling.

Use qmail-remote directly. If qmail-remote reports a transient failure, then inject them into the queue for later delivery. If qmail-remote reports a permanent failure then the message cannot be delivered so it can be ignored. See the qmail-remote man page for driving instructions. Using qmail-inject will increase your disk I/O and impose qmails concurrency limits. If you use qmail-remote directly you can bybass these limits and impose your own :) -- Regards Peter -- Peter Samuel[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.e-smith.org (development)http://www.e-smith.com (corporate) Phone: +1 613 368 4398 Fax: +1 613 564 7739 e-smith, inc. 1500-150 Metcalfe St, Ottawa, ON K2P 1P1 Canada "If you kill all your unhappy customers, you'll only have happy ones left"

qmail-send progress with large queue/todo

I've been thinking about this issue, and was wondering if it would be possible to fix this in some simple way. Would it be possible to modify qmail-send to always handle known messages before scanning todo? Or to make it defer scanning todo after it hits a certain number of messages so it can process other events and then come back to scanning? I tried instrumenting qmail-send to see where things were hanging up, but was having difficulty following the flow of control. It was certainly easy to reproduce the problem -- stop qmail-send, put 100 messages in the todo, start qmail-send, and watch as only a few deliveries get started before qmail-send stop scanning todo. Is the problem as simple as this, or is it an artifact of the I/O generated by qmail-send causing the other tasks to block? -- Bruce Guenter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://em.ca/~bruceg/ PGP signature

I think you'll find that these are multi-recipient messages, delivery of which is still not complete to one or more recipients.

If that's the case, then your client doesn't connect to you to collect mail. Your mail server queues the mail and tries periodically to send it to your client's mail server via SMTP. When it finds your client's server up, it delivers the mail to it. You're making this much more complicated than it should be. Simply add your client's domain names to /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts and nowhere else. Make sure the MX records are set correctly, and that's all there is to it. Chris PGP signature
Qmail could not send message/email
Hello Miliser, I have some problem with my linux box, (RH 6.0) I was install qmail, qmail-autoresponder, ezmlm, vpopmail, qmailadmin, absolutely its work properly, but after a few days later its had problem that email could not send the message is " qq write error or disk full (#4.3.0)" what is the problem ? I check my disk like this $df Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda8 256592 28563214777 12% / /dev/hda123300 2276 19821 10% /boot /dev/hda6 1725194 47632 1588403 3% /home /dev/hda5 1725194302284 1333751 18% /usr /dev/hda7 256592256592 0 100% /var its about /var ? or some think i dont know ? if its about /var how could I increase the partition of its ? my HD is 4,3GB Need help of yours Thx & Best regards, The Afif mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
nfs mounting /var/qmail/alias
Any issues with NFS mounting the alias directory so a common version can be shared by all mail servers? winmail.dat
Re: Qmail could not send message/email
You're right that it's your /var partition: qmail is installed in /var/qmail by default. See where your space is going (du -d 1 -h /var/qmail). Your logs are also stored in /var/log, so there may be some space there. You only have 25MB of space (df -h), so you may want to delete (rm -f ...) a few things that are taking up space. If worst comes to worse, you could move qmail to the usr partition (mkdir /usr/qmail && cp -Rp /var/qmail/* /usr && rm -rf /var/qmail && ln -s /usr/qmail /var/qmail). You may want to consider increasing the size of your /var partition (parted at: (http://freshmeat.net/redir/gnuparted/3543/url_homepage/). Hope that helps. -sc PS If you go the deleting route, just make sure you _avoid_ the rm -rf / On Wed, Feb 28, 2001 at 10:57:52AM +0700, The Afif wrote: > Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Mailing-List: contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]; run by ezmlm > Precedence: bulk > Delivered-To: mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Date: Wed, 28 Feb 2001 10:57:52 +0700 > From: The Afif <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > X-Mailer: The Bat!

Thus said "Phil Oester" on Tue, 27 Feb 2001 20:02:15 PST: > Any issues with NFS mounting the alias directory so a common version can be > shared by all mail servers? You should probably use the ``fastforward'' package and then distribute the alias.cdb with rsync or something like that. I believe that would be more reliable than using NFS to mount the alias directory. In addition, it gives you a speedier lookup of aliases...

tcpserver for pop3 and telnet
The LWQ description of setting up pop3 for qmail only says to put the tcpserver command in the qmail startup file. Shouldn't this "service" be supervised by svscan? Why do the other qmail processes get this, but pop3 does not? Also, I am moving towards eliminating inetd, and have set up in.telnetd to be run by tcpserver in a line in rc.local (RH Linux 6.2 here). In the inetd.conf file, it runs in.telnetd via /usr/sbin/tcpd. In the man page is says that tcps does some logging and other stuff, but I see no signs of it. When I try to use tcpserver->tcpd->in.telnetd, it doesn't work. Remove tcpd and all is fine. Should I be happy discarding tcpd? Also, since my inetd.conf file is now *empty*, can I disable it altogether, or or will I lose essential internal services? Is there a kit for making tcpserver mimic all the inetd services? Thanks --Pete

This won't work for us - we also will be using ezmlm in subdirectories of alias, and would like multiple servers to be able to use the lists. -Original Message- From: Andy Bradford [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 27, 2001 8:33 PM To: Phil Oester Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: nfs mounting /var/qmail/alias Thus said "Phil Oester" on Tue, 27 Feb 2001 20:02:15 PST: > Any issues with NFS mounting the alias directory so a common version can be > shared by all mail servers?

Ezmlm, Yahoo and list mirroring.
I have been trying to figure this out for about a week now. I know that this list is mirrored on Yahoo!Groups (formally a list to long to name). What I can not figure out is how to set up my Visual C++ mailing list so that it has the same mirror capabilities. If anyone can give me a hand I'd appreciate it.

stralloc?
has any thought been put into releasing the stralloc library/interface by itself? qmail's stralloc files appear a bit different than djbdns', and i'm unsure about the ones in other packages, but stralloc could be rather useful for developers of other projects. sorry that this is to the qmail list. none of the cr.yp.to lists were very relevant. -tcl.

How to create two mailboxes for one user
Hi, I want to be able to implement a system where a user has one login but with that one login is able to access two different mailboxes (I use Maildir format). The mailboxes are separate but belong to that one user eg login is johndoe but picks mail from johndoe and john_doe. Andrew
rblsmtpd and inetd
I'm getting a lot of errors like the following in my syslog: Feb 27 20:09:51 cyrix inetd[925]: pid 27274: exit status 1 which I suspect are coming from rblsmtpd. The problem is that I don't know how to redirect the stderr to a log file where I can see what the actual problem is. My inetd line is as follows: smtp stream tcp nowait qmaild /usr/sbin/tcpd \ /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env /usr/local/bin/rblsmtpd \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd According to the rblsmtpd man page, the errors are being sent to stderr, but they're apparently not getting logged to syslog. What can I do? -- Todd A. Jacobs CodeGnome Consulting, LTD
