multilog

Thanks a lot

Try the following (to the OP):

echo "&[EMAIL PROTECTED]" > ~alias/.qmail-root

and then try to deliver to root.

If that works, either me or defaulthost/defaultdomain is probably not correct...

tcpserver works better than inetd for not-so-busy cases, too :)

Does Postfix deliver to maildirs or Unix mailboxes? If not to maildirs,
then qmail's pop3 service can't possibly work. That might explain your
exit 1.

On the contrary, people subscribed to this list and running Postfix are

I'm experiencing something very similar: When telnet'ing to port 25 of 
localhost (i.e., `telnet localhost 25`) I also receive the message 
"Connection closed by foreign host." but not an entry in /var/log/messages.

My configuration is slightly different: My RH-7.0 uses xinetd so the 
/etc/xinetd.d/smtp file has this entry (from the xinetd FAQ page: 
http://www.xinetd.org/faq.html#qmail)...

service smtp
{
flags   = REUSE NAMEINARGS
socket_type = stream
protocol= tcp
wait= no
user= qmaild
server  = /usr/sbin/tcpd
server_args = /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env -R 
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
}

...and the /etc/hosts.allow file has a single entry...

ALL:ALL

Local delivery works between users though system-aliases (e.g., .qmail-root) 
do not.

Please help.

Thank you for the replies.

It is Life with Qmail which I used for help in my setup. It says:

"Typically, qmail-popup is run via inetd or tcpserver"

"For a busier service, use tcpserver instead."

So using inetd seems right in my case.

>   It might be something in the way your logging is setup.

Logging seems to be doing what I expect. Like in this case, reporting a 
non-zero exit code.

But why does qmail-pop3d (or is it checkpassword?) exit with "1"?

>My guess would be either your logging is screwed up, or you really do have
>imap running but you don't know it.

I'm quite sure I have nothing else listening on that port:

# grep "^ *pop" /etc/inetd.conf
pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /opt/qmail/bin/qmail-popup 
net1.alma.ch /opt/qmail/bin/checkpassword /opt/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir
poppassd stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd poppassd

(pop3 all on 1 line of course)

qmail-* was compiled from sources (1.03) without patches.
checkpassword also, version 0.90.

In case that matters, I'm not using qmail for smtp (but postfix), only 
qmail-popup for pop3.

Well, what else can I say? I wouldn't have thought my problem to be so

Any clues are still welcome!

Nope, just rcpthosts.  The second machine will forward them on to the

Backup mail server

I'm assuming the best way to implement a backup mail server that will queue
mail in the event of a problem with the best MX would be to set the backup

Will that cause mail to be cached automatically, or is it necessary to add

RE: Repeated Identical Messages

[Shashi Dookhee]

Hi Markus,

I see where you are coming from with this, but I don't think that is the
problem.  We've checked with the senders and their firewalls only log ONE
outbound connection to us.  If the 250 OK was not being sent, the sender's
SMTP gateway would make multiple connections (one for each repeated
message).  This being the case, it does look like a local problem - but I
can't seem to find the message anywhere!

We'll investigate further (in case the sender's firewall were not being
totally honest ;)).

Thanks!

Shash

1200 is the default. So setting this to 1200 won't change anything ;-)
btw. you do not need to restart qmail, this file is read by every invocation
of qmail-smtpd (i.e. on every new connection).

I have looked at the code of qmail-smtpd.c
The 451 timeout is issued by the receiver if it doesn't get any
infos from the sender within timeout (=1200 default or from
timeoutsmtpd).

- the message seems to have arrived successfully (including CRLF.CRLF)
  otherwise the receiver wouldn't have it correctly in queue.
  At that point if the connection breaks the mail will be delivered.
  (if there where no local filesystem problems, message size problems,
  too many hops or the like).
- Then the receiver sends back the "250 ok tstamp qp pid".
  This tells the sender that the message was received ok.
  And it looks like this code never arrives at the sender.

Would all of you that have the problems mind makeing a test and
inserting an explicit
flush();
call in qmail-smtpd.c in function acceptmessage() as the last statement.
This *should* not be needed, as the data command has a flush entry ...

What *really* puzzels me is that saferead() spits out an error to the
sender before closing, but safewrite() simply does an _exit(1).
Maybe inserting some error output could also help tracking down the
problem.

1200 is the default. So setting this to 1200 won't change anything ;-)
btw. you do not need to restart qmail, this file is read by every invocation
of qmail-smtpd (i.e. on every new connection).

I have looked at the code of qmail-smtpd.c
The 451 timeout is issued by the receiver if it doesn't get any
infos from the sender within timeout (=1200 default or from
timeoutsmtpd).

- the message seems to have arrived successfully (including CRLF.CRLF)
  otherwise the receiver wouldn't have it correctly in queue.
  At that point if the connection breaks the mail will be delivered.
  (if there where no local filesystem problems, message size problems,
  too many hops or the like).
- Then the receiver sends back the "250 ok tstamp qp pid".
  This tells the sender that the message was received ok.
  And it looks like this code never arrives at the sender.

Would all of you that have the problems mind makeing a test and
inserting an explicit
flush();
call in qmail-smtpd.c in function acceptmessage() as the last statement.
This *should* not be needed, as the data command has a flush entry ...

What *really* puzzels me is that saferead() spits out an error to the
sender before closing, but safewrite() simply does an _exit(1).
Maybe inserting some error output could also help tracking down the
problem.

X-UIDL: [`I"!]LB"!e%)"!Je,"!

The X-NAV-TimeoutProtection0: X refers to Norton Antivirus email protection.
I have had email repeaters on machines with this switched off however.

So far I have received twenty seperate instances of this email.

We restarted our qmail server last night explicitly adding to
control/timeoutsmtpd a value of 1200

as per the mail by \Maex

Unfortunately I had another email account experience a repeat in excess of
47 emails today alone from a Hotmail account. I hope I'm missing something
really simple, any help much appreciated.

Thanks

Finally a tool to convert Outlook to mbox

Finally there is a tool to convert outlook mailstores to unix format
(mbox). One downside is that it only runs in windows (they get ya comin'

the mbox2maildir script could just be ran afterwards as part of the mail

RE: Why does POP3 log "inetd ... exit status 1"

[Tim Hunter]

Why are you running with inetd anyway?  It might be something in the way
your logging is setup.
I would make the switch to tcpserver (check out www.lifewithqmail.org for
help)
No one knows the reason for your problem because you haven't given enough
information, you reposted the exact same post.  If we couldn't figgure it
out the first time, we can't figgure it out the second time with the same
info.

My guess would be either your logging is screwed up, or you really do have
imap running but you don't know it.

Since I had no reply, I try re-posting with a new subject line.

I cannot believe nobody knows the reason of this problem, but the only

to courier-imap. There must be a simpler solution, since I don't need IMAP.

This is considered rude.  If you don't get a reply the first time, it means
that no one is interested in answering your question.  This could be because
you have asked a FAQ, or appear to have not done sufficient research before
posting to the list.

This is probably one of the reasons no one has answered your question -- you're
using inetd and tcpd -- both of which have been deprecated for qmail for
ages.  Switch to tcpserver.  Then if you have problems, people here might
be able to help you.

qmail logs?

[Sumith]

Hello,

I've installed qmail from memphis rpms found at www.qmail.org

I need to scan my qmail log files for generating an html report. Since
this rpms use multilog, I am using isoqlog for getting my job done. But
the Install files says that you need to feed this in qmail-send log
directory. There is no qmail-send in /var/service. there is only
qmail/log, qmail-smtpd/log and qmail-pop3d/log.

Now how do I go about generating a report .. are these rpm installation
to blame :(

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Sumith

Yes, a /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-root file containing eric will forward mails 
for root to user eric. qmail itself will not send mails to
uid 0 (root).

Any comments, Masters?

Re: troubleshooting

[Noah Sematimba]

Check inbox path in pine. I had this on freebsd where pine was checking
/var/spool/mail instead of /var/mail I solved this by making a symlink
from /var/spool/mail to /var/mail.

Ahmad:

I don't understand. The Mailbox file in /home/eric receives messages for the 
user 'eric'. The system-alias file /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-root contains 
'eric'. Mail messages bound for [EMAIL PROTECTED] should go directly to 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] - Shouldn't they?

Do you suppose that qmail may be actually looking for a ~Mailbox file for 
root?

How do you check the messages? By checking the contents of the user's mailbox
or using Pine? If you use maildir format for your mailbox, you won't be 
able to use
Pine out of the box. You need to patch (check www.qmail.org), to 
'reinstall' and to
configure it appropriately.

Well, that's a wonder.  Are you sure that you use Mailbox everywhere else? 
$HOME/Mailbox is an mbox file, right?
