smtp relay & vpopmail
Hello, I'm new to the qmail. I made it running, I set up vpopmail with mysql, so I can receive mails for multiple domains and users can read their mails. After first troubles and disapointment I realized that qmail is simply great. But I still has one problem. I cannot send e-mails via qmail-smtp to non-local domains, I get back the error message 553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1) So I need to set up relaying. I looked to the FAQ, HOWTO, Docs, ... but found no answer (maybe I search badly). I have following settings (see below). I want to allow all our clients (using our IP blocks) to use smtp. Next thing I want to ask - does the qmail rebuild the 'cdb' files automatically after service restart? As far as I found, it seems to me that it doesn't.

(info on distros, utilities, etc. most welcome.) FWIW, I see the different Linux distros as a starting point. I'd never deploy an out-of-the-box Linux installation whether from Caldera, Suse, RedHat, etc. RedHat can be made sufficiently tight to keep me happy. It just involves liberal application of 'rpm -e'. james -- James Raftery (JBR54) "It's somewhere in the Red Hat district" -- A network engineer's freudian slip when talking about Amsterdam's nightlife at RIPE 38.

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

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.

Which client are you using?
There is a similar bug in all versions of Outlook, where it will
abruptly stop downloading messages if the last byte in the TCP packet
happens to be a dot ("."). See:
http://www.ornl.gov/its/archives/mailing-lists/qmail/1999/09/msg00467.html
And the whole thread associated.
I don't know if it's the same bug, since the circunstances you mention
seem to be slightly different, but you could research into that
direction. Have you tried telnetting by hand to port 110 and issuing POP
commands to see if the same thing happens?

With significant help from both Jörgen Persson and Bruce Guenter, I was able to concoct a script that allows both vpopmail and vmailmgr users to authenticate on the same POP3 port, same IP address. The authentication information is stored in a file on the filesystem, owned by root.root, 0600 permissions. The filename is not necessarily random, but was about as good as I could think of: PID + TCPREMOTEPORT + "." + date. Any suggestions are certainly welcome.

local vs remote delivery
Hi, I'll try to set up my local delivery in qmail and been stuck in the moment and can't get out of it. I can use qmail for remote delivery. But if I try to make a local delivery it connects to teh net and delivers the message via the net to my pop box. Can anyone give me the path where to start from for troubleshooting?

antivirus
Hi, could you recommend me some antivirus who will work with qmail in order to scan all emails that are going thru the server, incoming and outgoing.

This may or may not be the problem. On the one hand, with this particular
message, the 2nd-to-last packet had "\r\n." at the end of it, and the last
packet had "\r\n" in it. (That is, the standard "\r\n.\r\n" to end a
message.) So it indeed matches your description.
On the other had, the reference you give says that one packet ends in a dot
and the next packet begins with a dot. This is not the case here.

Guaranteed to work. Also, if I pop the message from my client (also Outlook
2K), it invariably works. Since we're on a lan connection with different
MTUs, our packet boundaries would differ enough to not see the problem. I
think we're on the right track. The trick is finding a work-around, because
moving off Outlook is not an option.
Thank you very much for the pointer.

The more I think about this, the more bizarre it seems. How could this be
an Outlook bug? Outlook just sees a stream of data; it shouldn't even see
tcp/ip packets, should it?

intra-domain routing with qmail
Hi all, We are setting up exchange server as our primary email server. We want to use qmail at the front end to route emails to exchange. Currently all users are on qmail. Is there a way to selectively (user by user) forwarding mail to exchange mailboxes? So some users will be with qmail and others will be on exchange (both has the same domain). Any idea would be appreciated. Tri [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Checkpassword & PAM on Solaris
Is anyone using the pam-checkpassword-0.81-diffs on Solaris? I've been trying to build it on a Solaris 7 box, but it appears that I lack some of the PAM header files that the patch uses. $ make ./compile log_pam.c log_pam.c:23: security/pam_misc.h: No such file or directory log_pam.c:26: security/pam_filter.h: No such file or directory make: *** [log_pam.o] Error 1 I can't find them on any version of Solaris that we're running. My /usr/include/security includes only pam_appl.h and pam_modules.h. I'm guessing they're Linux-specific? If anyone is using the patch on Solaris, I would really appreciate knowing where you obtained the files. We're moving toward LDAP for authentication, and using the PAM-enabled checkpassword with the pam_LDAP module from padl.com seemed like the path of least resistance for POP3. We're currently using sendmail for our MTA; otherwise, we'd probably go with qmail-ldap (may still in the end). We use the qmail POP3 service to handle our Maildir mailboxes. Sorry for the newbie question. :-) Thanks for your time! Dawn Lee [EMAIL PROTECTED]

queue prob maybe?
So a week ago one of my employees sent out 7000 emails to one person instead of sending out one email to 7000 people. I caught it in the middle of sending, shut down qmail and grepped the queue to find all files containing the person's address and I deleted them. Two days ago someone in my company who gets a few thousand emails a day is starts having problems with his pop connectivity so I check the logs and see ALOT of these messages Mar 23 14:33:16 mail qmail: 985375996.490311 warning: trouble opening local/15/1008289; will try again later Mar 23 14:37:36 mail qmail: 985376256.008630 warning: unable to utime local/17/1008268; message will be retried too soon The guys has 5 pop connections open, using almost all the server's CPU. There is a bunch of messages in the queue that are addressed to various people but mostly him. qmail-qstat, shows messages in queue: 392 messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 385 qmail-qread, shows only 10 or so messages which is what it's usually at (small company) I ran qmail-clean (what exactly does that do anyway?), and now there are no messages in /var/qmail/queue/local , but there are alot in ~queue/todo and ~queue/mess.

I have seem way too many mail systems start life as a single box with a single disk grow into a multi-server setup. Build in as much flexibility as you can from the start and you'll never regret it. It costs nothing but a little thinking. For example: if you only allow network access you can use load balancing and DNS changes to move services around transparently. By using network services you enable access by a much larger class of client programs. By using network access you can transparently change mailbox formats and server software. Regards.

RE: qmail queue
Sumith, if all you wanted to do is to look at what is in the queue you could do what I did (although there are probably lots of other solutions that I would be interested in hearing). My solution, as well as the solution to other problems, was to install Webmin 0.84. There is a third-party Qmail module that you could add into it (see www.qmail.org or Webmin.org for more details). This way you can view your local and remote queues seperately over a web browser from anywhere. One note: the Qmail module only partly works right "out of the box".

If so (and this is judging from the error message), that's probably your problem. Try copying the Maildir over to the var directory somewhere and then run the maildir2mbox command. BTW, if I was you, I would just stick with mutt and Maildir. Maildir is by far the best format for storing e-mail to date and mutt is an excellent and featureful MUA, although syntax can be a bitch. My second recommendation would be to download the patch to make Pine work with Maildir. What you're trying to do, I would call a distant third.

% cat {filename} | uuencode {filename} | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
however, when the mail comes in, it looks something like this:

I'm not very familiar with the standard email spec, but it seems like there
might be a way to just include a line in the email header that indicates
a file in the local filesystem to attach, maybe assumiing it's been uuencoded?
thanks,

What is the default value of these control files
Hi all! I am a beginner about Qmail. Now I am going to install Qmail. And I have some question. 1. If these control files don't exist, what the default values are? concurrencylocal, concurrencyremote, defaultdomain, defaulthost, databytes 2. What is difference between locals control file and virtualdomains control file? 3. Can I put the values to rcpthosts file by IP address? Could you answer about my questions? Thank you.
hai just try it
I found a great new Internet company - CashFiesta.com that has created a product that everyone can benefit from. They pay you while you work or play on your computer. They even pay you when your friends are using their computers. It's free to join and your privacy is completely protected. Their proprietary software - the FiestaBar - displays ads at the bottom or top of your computer screen. Since advertisers want you to view these ads, they pay CashFiesta to reach you via The FiestaBar and then CashFiesta shares its advertising revenues with you. Members who use the FiestaBar are paid for their own Web browsing and for referrals. All you have to do is sign up and start making money. It only takes a minute. You can refer your friends, family and co-workers and you will receive a percentage of their earnings in addition to your own. So here is the link, enjoy and happy money making to all of you. http://www.cashfiesta.com/php/join.php?ref=jayputra Check it out! jayputra unta
Re: hai just try it
This is pretty tacky trying to put money in your pocket from our participation with this company. Doing it on this list where it has no topical value is even worse.

tcpserver
Hello, Has anybody used tcpserver for Qmail & other services out there -- I have succesfully used qmail smtpd & popup services through tcpserver. But there are certain additional things I would like to do --- I am using FreeBSD 4.2 and want to start my basic services like telnetd, ftpd along with smtp & pop3 etc using tcpserver (and tcpserver.conf) instead of plain tcpserver or inetd (and inetd.conf). I have succesfully installed tcpserver, daemontools & tcpserver-control (latest versions) Though my tcpserver works fine with individual services I am not able to use the tcpserver,conf. The tcpserver does not startup using tcpserver-control start. ( Though it says started telnet pop3 smtp ) But tcpserver-control status says none is running. The log messages in /var/log/ tcpserver//current show supervise : usage supervise directory. (And of course it also Does not Allow me to Add directory to the global variable in tcpserver.conf) I have Already corrected the tools in tcpserver.conf to point correctly e.g. setuser to setuidgid etc. From what ever docmentation I could lay my hands on I know something about /services directory. But I am pretty confused about the whole lot and their ineraction. i.e. tcpserver - daemontools - tcpserver-control. also /services & tcpserver.conf (why both) Please Help me with this problem. Thanx.
