LWQ and POP3

[Neafevoc K. Marindale]

Hello :)

I just setup qmail using Life with qmail, and everything seems to be 
working just fine.  But I wanted to use POP3 with it, and somehow trying to 
add pop3d to tcpserver just isn't working.

I'm still sort of new to he *nix world.  Btw, I'm using FreeBSD 4.2, if it 
matters.  Anyway, this is what script looks like in 
/var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run

#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup FQDN \
 /usr/local/bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 2>&1

QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaild`
NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild`
MAXSMTPD=`cat /var/qmail/control/concurrencyincoming`
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 200 \
 /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -p -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c "$MAXSMTPD" \
 -u "$QMAILDUID" -g "$NOFILESGID" 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 
2>&1

---
And yeah, I did put my fully qualified domain name in FQDN :)
Do I need to merge these two together?

Be gentle ;)

vpopmail : virtual user/domain adressing problem

[jcarreiro]

hi all !
i'm using vpopmail and qmailadmin together 
with qmail.
all daemons are supervised and 
multilogged.
 
i configured a local domain (e.g myrealdomain.com) 
who works just fine, 
and a virtual domain 
(e.g dummy.org) with several virtual users.
 
ALL virtual users for dummy.org CANNOT 
receive mail but they CAN send.
 
MX records are ok.
/var/qmail/control/locals are ok.
 
got the following error when sended a message to 
[username]@dummy.org :
 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. 
(#5.1.1)
 
i was 
thinking there's a problem with .qmail files , but i don't know where 
:))

any help will be appreciated.
 
José.
 
 
 
 
 

filtering with perl

[Todd Finney]

I've been thrashing at this for a couple of hours, and I'm starting to 
wonder if I'm even on the right track.

The short question:
I'd like to strip a few headers from messages sent to a particular 
address, for the purpose of setting up a anonymous remailer for a 
mailing list.  I have a small perl script that I think should do this, 
but it isn't working.   Is this possible without qmail-filter?  It 
seems like it should be, but I'm starting to doubt it.


The longer question:
I have set up the appropriate .qmail file, which points to a file 
inside DIR called anonymizer.  Inside that file is:

|/usr/local/bin/ezmlm/anonymizer.pl
|/usr/local/bin/ezmlm/ezmlm-send '/home/list/test'

anonymizer.pl, in its barest form, is this:

#!/usr/bin/perl
my $from = 'From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]';
my $list = 'To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]';
while (<>) {
 s/From:\s.+$/$from/o;
 s/To:\s.+$/$list/o;
}
exit 0;

I have confirmed that the messages are actually hitting the script by 
changing the exit code to 100 and catching the bounce.

The script works as expected from the command line:

[alias@sonata alias]$ /usr/local/bin/ezmlm/anonymizer.pl
here
here
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

However, messages sent to that test-anonymizer@ address come through 
with neither header altered.

Can someone put me on the right track?

thanks,
Todd

qmail doesn't read your output to reinject it. You'll have to reinsert
the message to go to a second address that does the second part of
your .qmail

Greetz, Peter.

Re: filtering with perl

[Kirill Miazine]

You first submit a message to the perl prog, it does its stuff and happily exits 
without doing something with the content
What if you open a pipe from the program to /usr/local/bin/ezmlm/ezmlm-send 
'/home/list/test'?

something like

#!/usr/bin/perl
my $from = 'From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]';
my $list = 'To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]';
open PIPE, '|/usr/local/bin/ezmlm/ezmlm-send /home/list/test';
while (<>) {
s/From:\s.+$/$from/io;
s/To:\s.+$/$list/io;
print PIPE $_;
}
close PIPE;

Hi, what if my .qmail-default already contains following line
=-=-=
| fastforward -d /etc/aliases.cdb
=-=-=

Can I still add it there?

Re: filtering with perl

[Todd Finney]

Thanks, that appears to do the trick.  I tried doing that with 
qmail-inject, and it didn't work.

I surprised that I can't just modify the stream.  I thought that was 
the whole point of program delivery.   Doing it this way precludes 
checking the message with ezmlm-reject, but I suppose that's not too 
big a deal.

thanks again,
Todd

newbie: qmail + vpopmail

[- = k o l i s k o = -]

Hi all!

I have now installed qmail and vpopmail from debian distr.

when i tried send a message to local user the message stored in
/var/spool/mail
directory. But when i tried get the message trought pop3 i got error that
$home/maildir
not exist...

how is possible set qmail to store messages to $home/maildir?
or how is possible to configure vpopmail to get messages from
/var/spool/mail?

Tx.

Packages suck. Why don't you install from source?

Read the manual you must. Understand problem you will.

The latter is IMO not desirable. I've put up my config files on the web.
I'm running a setup as described in http://mail.socha.net/about/
https://mail.socha.net/cgi-bin/cvsweb/supervise/?cvsroot=CVSROOT

You are probably looking for 
https://mail.socha.net/cgi-bin/cvsweb/supervise/pop3/run?rev=1.1.1.1&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&cvsroot=CVSROOT

vpopmail has its own mailinglist, BTW.

I agree that it's probably that; it already happened to me a couple of
times. The last time, I found out by doing a netstat during several days
when the incoming traffic was unusually high and finding out one SMTP
connection that didn't die and was always there, even when there wasn't
any other traffic. I connected to the port 25 of that host, and what did
I find?

Debian packages don't suck. If you are on a Debian list you will
probably get flamed for installing from source, whereas on the qmail
list, you get flamed for not installing from source. Ahh, life is full
of Catch 22s.

The startup script that Debian uses defaults to this delivery method so
that you can easily install IMAP/POP servers, etc. You have to change
the startup script in /etc/init.d and make sure you 'maildirmake' for
all your users.

Packages suck. I'm running 5 different operating systems. And just one
set of supervise scripts. Go figure. It's nice to have binary packages
for certain things, but qmail is not one of them. YMMV.

While Debian is one of the better Linux distributions, their packages
can be very questionable. This thread goes to underline DJB's position
stated in http://cr.yp.to/compatibility.html EoD.

Either the message that you received had no body, or your program is buggy.
qmail feeds the whole message to your program, headers plus body, all in
one go.  `man qmail-command` for more details.

No package manager I know stops you from creating and installing a qmail
package that puts the stuff Where Dan Wants Them, and generally respects

vpopmail

[Andrew Wafula]

Hi,

I don't know if this is the right place for this question but I have seen
alot of questions on virtual domains so I guess it wont hurt to ask.

I have had only a single domain on my qmail machine so I was using system
accounts, which we want to keep. Now the guys high up have decided to add
another domain which is meant to be a virtual domain since it serves mail
for another office which connects thru the Internet.

I set up vpopmail and it is working since I managed to create the virtual
domain and some users. My question is how do I authenticate pop3 for both
the virtual domain and the system accounts on the same machine.

I am running qmail-pop3d under svscan and my script is:

exec tcpserver 0 110 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup my.domain.co.ke \
/var/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir &

my.domain.co.ke is the domain which we were using system accounts.

mail not forwarding

[Virginia Chism]

My server is a UNIX box with BSDi 4.0, Apache, Qmail, and Frontpage.

In order for my FP client to forward email from an 'alias' address on her
page to her personal address, I added  'SMTPHost mymailserver.address.com'
in the frontpage.cnf AND her
domainname.cnf file.  I then  made 'herdomain.org' virtual, and forward mail
out of an appropriate
.qmail file directly:

echo "herdomain.org:alias-herdomain" >>/var/qmail/control/virtualdomains
echo "&forwardaddress" >~alias/.qmail-herdomain-info

then restarted the system.  I was told NOT to put her in locals, but might
have missed a step.  From the error messages listed below it appears I
should put her in rcpthosts.  Just want to check as I am a newbie and
definitely NOT the guru you folks are!

Please advise.  And thanks in advance!

Yes, put "herdomain.org" in rcpthosts, or mail for that domain will not
be accepted over SMTP.

I am not really trying to start a flame war, but the .deb of qmail does
build from source and respects most of DJBs beliefs. I just didn't want
people to get the idea that Debian packages are near as bad as RPMs. I
do appreciate that you see Debian as a 'better Linux distribution'.

Attachments via /usr/bin/sendmail

How would I go about attaching encoded files (i.e.

write a Perl script that first uploads a file (which
I've done no problem), and then e-mails it out to a

be right for all types of attachments.

QMTP

Hi!

I'm running Qmail-1.03 (big-dns.patch, big-concurrency.patch,
badmailfrom.patch, AND qmail-1.03-qmtpc.patch), daemontools, ucspi-tcp
on testing servers.

I add on my DNS:

INMX12800mail.myserver.com. ; for SMTP service
INMX12801mail.myserver.com. ; for QMTP service

I'm running under the supervise script the qmtpd service ... when I send
a mail to myserver.com, the qmail-remote communicate to SMTP instead of
QMTP :(

Why??

Thanks! :)

What is happening is funny. I stop Qmail, and the at the same time 
when IPTRAF reports huge amount of SMTP packets incoming, in 
the iplogger logs I have no SMTP attempts at all. When I start 
Qmail, in the logger and qmail logs, I have some SMTP data 
coming (like two-three messages every 10 minutes... it was 6 in 
the morning when I tried it), and IPTRAF still reports 1 MB of data 
per minute coming to port 25.

And not only IPTRAF is reporting that, but my provider also, and I 
pay for every GB of traffic. Now it seems that I will go bankrupt 
really soon :-(

Because the SMTP-related MX has a lower distance than the QMTP-related MX.
If you have one MX host that supports QMTP and SMTP (which it has to), just
create one MX record with a distance of 12801.

Read http://cr.yp.to/proto/mxps.txt. You want to remove the 12800 entry and
leave only the 12801 entry. Hosts that support QMTP will see the 12801
preference and attempt to communicate via QMTP; hosts that don't will try SMTP.

That made it come through as a bunch of gobbledygook

to write on my mailwrapper to get it to see that it's

No, you're not messing anything up. There are two kinds of bounces:
those generated remotely and those generated locally. If the local
system is not able to pass a message off to a remote system, the
bounce generated will be local--from your qmail--and it'll go to the
"me-" address rather than the me-user%host VERP address. This is done
this way because the local bounce can contain multiple undeliverable
addresses. To process these bounces, you need to parse the
QSMBF-format bounce message that qmail generates.

Mostly OT: New qmail server security concerns

[Roger Merchberger]

This is mostly off-topic so I apologize for any lost bandwith & whatnot,
but here goes:

We're looking at building a new qmail server at my ISP (running Linux) and
we may be implementing software raid for the home directories & the qmail
queue to help reduce I/O latency, which unfortunately precludes me from
running (my nice secure distro of choice) Caldera...

Redhat (6.2 & 7.0) & Suse (7.0) support software raid, but from unfortunate
personal experience, I've found they are about as secure as a steel sieve
full of Win98 CD's...

What are other folks here using to keep their nice, secure MTA secure
across the rest of the box? (info on distros, utilities, etc. most welcome.)

Emails off-list to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] would be much
appreciated, and if enough folks are interested, I'll print a summary and
post that to the list... but as this primarily off-topic, I don't want to
waste too many people's bandwidth.

Thanks Bazillions,

Yes, put "herdomain.org" in rcpthosts, or mail for that domain will not

Good.

You can't combine two services in one run script. You need to set up a
separate service for qmail-pop3.

See:

Making the files world-writable is bad, and qmail won't use them if they
are.

To make username-me-* email deliverable, you need a .qmail-me-default file.
.qmail-me-owner-default doesn't match "username-me-foo".

Try touching .qmail-default. Neither ~/.qmail-me-owner noed

RE: VERP problems

Okay, yes, now I'm getting me- emails sent to the me mailbox. This is
progress. But I'm still a little confused about your previous email:

"No, you're not messing anything up. There are two kinds of bounces:

>From this, I gather that in order to collect the email addresses of these

extracts the email addresses from the bounce messages. I can do this (though
it seems like there must be a better way). But when does the VERP
functionality present itself? I send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
and that server tells me 'beets is unknown' -- isn't that a remote bounce?
Shouldn't the email be returned to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]? Because it isn't; I'm still
getting those sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or is this still considered a local
bounce? If this is a local bounce then how do I simulate a remote bounce?
I'm going to be Bcc-ing a bunch of people and I just need a reliable way to
determine the addresses that bounce. Thank you everyone for helping me so
far.

Hi.

Please forgive the directness of this plea for help! We
have a qmail
server which is bouncing all email sent to it for any
recipients, and
I was hoping that somebody would be kind enough to point us
in the
right direction before all our hair goes grey.

The bounces we're getting look like this:


Hi. This is the qmail-send program at ourhost.com.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the
following
addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't
work out.

Connection unexpectedly terminated

[Carey Jung]

Hi,

We have a sporadic problem with qmail hanging and eventually timing out when
popping certain messages.  tcpdump shows that qmail is apparently not
handling the RETR command properly (see below).  Everything is fine until it
"OK"'s the RETR command from the client, but then it immediately follows
that with a FIN packet, terminating the connection.

If we move the offending hung message out of the Maildir/new directory, then
the client is able to pop the remaining messages.  If we put it back,
send/receive stalls again.  We can not see anything out of the ordinary in
the message itself, and, in fact, we are able to fetch it from other
clients.

Has anyone seen this before?  Why is qmail-pop3d/tcpserver terminating the
connection without sending the mail to the client?

Who sends the FIN? The client or the server?

Sounds like a client bug. There are plenty of them? What's the client
OS, what's the client program?

I've certainly seen plenty of clients gag on unusual content.

What rc file do you use to initialize qmail and what does it look like?

Yes I saw it before :-(
I' having the same problem and not only with pop3, but also when sending an 
email with an attachment.
The transfer of the attach begin an the server send out a fin packet and 
drop the connection, sometimes happens immediatly sometimes after a little 
transfer.
I saw it with outlook and outlook express, the mail server is behind a linux 
firewall. I made alot of investigation about this problem and it dont seem a 
network problem implicable to the firewall.
If you find a solution please let me know.

Have you verified that user accounts resolve in general -- i.e., if
you use an external authenticator, such as LDAP, is it functioning?

svscan and heavy load

[Aleksander Olsen]

Hi

Starting qmail with 'qmail start' and get the
echo 'Starting qmail: svscan.'

The first time i started qmail like this, i wasnt aware of the problem.
The load was 0.00 and after 5 mins with qmail and svscan running, the load
was closing up to 10.00. -

Why ? This is a p133 and 64mb ram. Anyone?

Thanks! ;)

perl script in qmail

Content Types

[Alex Le Fevre]

I've solved my earlier problem of getting my script to
output an encoded file to the mailwrapper. My only
problem is, I'm having real trouble getting mail
agents to see the attachment properly.

Using this script:

#!/usr/bin/perl

$fileout = `cat /home/www/schnarff/images/chili.jpg |
/usr/local/bin/base64
/home/www/schnarff/images/chili.jpg`;
$bound = "---bound";

open (MAIL, "|/usr/bin/sendmail -t");
print MAIL "To: alexlefevre\@yahoo.com\n";
print MAIL "Mime-Version: 1.0\n";
print MAIL "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
boundary=\"$bound\"; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n";
print MAIL "$bound\n";
print MAIL "Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed;
charset=iso-8859-1\n";
print MAIL "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n";
print MAIL "Here is the attachment!\n";
print MAIL "$bound\n";
print MAIL "Content-Type: image/jpg;
name=\"chili.jpg\"\n";
print MAIL "Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename=\"chili.jpg\"";
print MAIL "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64";
print MAIL "$fileout";
close MAIL;

Mail goes to Yahoo just fine, which shows that there's
an attachment on the Inbox screen. When I try to
access the message, though, there's nothing there --
not even my text. What could be the problem? I'm
taking the content-type, etc. from mail I sent using
sqwebmail.

Thanks,
Alex

Everything working fine, box is both BIND and qmail.

/var/qmail/control/me currently contains 'ns1.flashsys.com' which was

For appearances sake in the headers I would like 'me' to contain
'mail.flashsys.com' instead.  Will I break anything if I edit the file?

New to Qmail, probably a stupid question...

[Tyrone Mills]

Hello all,

I've got QMail running on a Redhat 7 machine, works fine delivering local
mail, but when I try and send mail out to the Internet, it never goes
anywhere. The /var/log/maillog records several error mesages from sendmail,
saying "Service unavailable". The first thing I thought was, what the hell
is sendmail doing with this! But then I see that QMail has sendmail in it's
install dir, so I'm assuming it's not "THE Sendmail", rather a helper util
named sendmail.

Is it just a helper, or is the Anti-Christ getting in there and trying to
take my mail away from QMail?

Thanks,

Tyrone

Thanks Chris,

You're right, I should have included the logs, but the machine couldn't
E-Mail... I was about to ftp them over when I realized the problem. I had a
bad hostname for the machine, as soon as I fixed it, it's happily sending
mail to the Internet.

Thanks for your time, sorry for the noise on the list.

I just saw this problem again.  Ran tcpdump and captured the pop-3
conversation below.  What's interesting is that client is only retrieving 1
message, instead of the 7 present.  The server sends the message, the client
acks it, but then doesn't request any more messages.  So, apparently the
server is waiting for the next command and not getting it.  On the other
hand, the client is apparently expecting more data, but not getting it, or
it's confused about how many messages it's received, so the client times out
and sends a FIN packet.

qmail queue

[Sumith]

Hello All
 
Excuse me if this question has been repeated a lot 
of times...
 
I've install qmail from memphis rpms. also VPOPMAIL 
4.9.8-1
 
How can I know how many concurrent qmail deliveries 
are taking place on my qmail server, both qmail-local and 
qmail-remote
 
I have applied the qmail-concurrent-patch, and 
big-todo-patch
 
There is no concurrencylocal and concurrencyremote 
presently in /var/qmail/control
 
If the default is 10 for concurrencylocal and 20 
for concurrency remote (which lwq says)what would be the safe number to 
increase this to on my PIII 800 , 512 MB RAM, IDE hard disk handling about 500 
virtual domains.
 
I hope that some one helps me to clear my 
doubts.
 
Regards
Sumith

multiple virtualdomains and no locals

[Martin Dougiamas]

OK, I'm going round in circles with this one ... help!

I have a server which has real users on it: user1, user2, user3.
They all have Maildirs set up for them.

The server is known as domain1.com, domain2.com and domain3.com
"control/me" is "domain1.com".

I want these to work:

   user1 at domain1.com
   user2 at domain2.com
   user3 at domain3.com

but I want all OTHER combinations to be bounced!

Obviously (?) I can't put anything in the "control/locals" file,
because whatever I put in there appears to activate ALL the 
local user accounts for that domain.

So I put something like this in the control/virtualdomains file:

  domain1.com:alias-domain1
  domain2.com:alias-domain2
  domain3.com:alias-domain3

and in ~alias I made files like this:

  .qmail-domain1-user1
  .qmail-domain2-user2
  .qmail-domain3-user3

But what do I put in these files?  I tried putting this sort of thing,
as per the manual:

  eg ~alias/.qmail-domain-user2:
 
  /home/user2/Maildir/

but I get "Unable_to_chdir_to_maildir" errors.  I also tried just 

  user2

but I get "Sorry,_no_mailbox_here_by_that_name" errors, because I guess
it's looking for a .qmail-domain1-user2 alias ... 

So what should I be doing?

Thanks,
Martin
