Oops, is your qmail installed under /usr/local/src/qmail-1.03?
I bet it's not!

It couldn't open users/assign - indication that qmail is not installed
under /usr/local/src/qmail-1.03 (that's what you told vpopmail when
compiling it)

RE: authorization failed

[Roy Naldo]

ok, here is what i did to my system...

i am using qmail-1.03 , vpopmail-4.9.4, mysql-3.23.33 

there is no problem installing the qmail package using maildir , i
already test the mail delivery locally and it works. 

my configure script for mysql :
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql
make
make install
./mysql_installdb
./mysqladmin -u root password 'newpassword'

then i edit the vmysql.h file and change the mysql password 'gipgap'
to the one i created above 'newpassword'.

here is my configure script for vpopmail :
./configure --enable-mysql=y
--enable-sqlincdir=/usr/local/mysql/include 
--enable-sqllibdir=/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql
--enable-ucspi-dir=/usr/local/src/ucspi-tcp-0.88 
--enable-tcpserver-file=/etc/tcp.smtp
--enable-qmaildir=/usr/local/src/qmail-1.03 
--enable-tcprules-prog=/usr/local/bin/tcprules
--enable-apop=n

make
make install-strip

there is no problem compiling vpopmail,
The problem arise, when i execute the "vadddomain" command , i got
this message " could not open assign file ".
but the new domains directory still created under the
/home/vpopmail/domains directory. even when i execute the
"vadduser " command , the user directory is created under the
virtual domains directory. so for a moment i thought that
everything was properly installed. 
but when i when i try to pop my newly created virtual email ,
localhost# telnet localhost 110
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'.
+OK <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
user [EMAIL PROTECTED]
+OK
pass passsword
-ERR authorization failed
Connection closed by foreign host.
localhost#

any idea about what might my problem is ?
thanks.


best regards,

roy

Re: local mail routing help

[Brett Randall]

Make sure server1.mydomain.com is accepting mail for
server1.mydomain.com in the rcpthosts file, and that
server2.mydomain.com (is it a qmail box?) is allowed to receive mail
for server2.mydomain.com and mydomain.com . Restart qmail on each box
and it should work. By the way, if no mail is stored on server 1, you
shouldn't need the locals file.

local mail routing help

Can someone help me with local mail routing?  
My setup is as follows.
 
servers= server1.mydomain.com & 
server2.mydomain.com
server1's smtproutes 
file = mydomain.com:server2.mydomain.com
server1's locals file = 
server1.mydomain.com
server1's me file = 
server1.mydomain.com
 
I want server1 to route all mydomain.com email to 
server2, but it's not working.  With the above setup, everything stays on 
server1, nothing routed to server2.  What other files do I need to look 
at?

very large queue list (qmail-qread)

[Ross Davis - Data Anywhere]

when I run qmail-qread I get 108,000 lines of emails, most of which have
sent.  When I run qmail-qstat is says that there typically about 250 emails
that in queue.

Is that normal to have that may lines returned from qmail-qread?

qmail-clean is running and is started along with the other processes.

I have qmHandle that really helps to see what is in the queue, but is there
another way to get all of the items that are waiting to be delivered and all
of the bounces, with the reason that things are being bounced?

Right now the only way I can tell what is up with an email when it is not
working is to look in the log, run qmHandle and check the bounce directory.

I am using vpopmail and only processing about 40,000 emails a day.

Thanks in advance.

Unable to authenticate through POP3

[Sunil .]

I managed to install QMail for the first time 2 weeks back.
I also installed the utilities available at inter7.com. They include
vpopmail, qmailadmin and sqwebmail.

I tried retrieving my mails using pop3 with my ms outlook client and they 
gave me an error saying something like "invalid password, authentication 
error...blah...blah"

I am very sure that the password i have been trying is correct because i am 
able to login to my mail account using sqwebmail's web interface client. 
Everything seems to be working fine except for this.

Currently, i am only able to send and retrieve mails using sqwebmail only. I 
also installed this "checkpassword" thing after trying out some online help. 
It didn't work either.

Please help.

Yup.  qmail is telling you that it didn't deliver to a mailbox, didn't 
forward the mail, and didn't run a program delivery.

qmail-getpw lowercases the name before looking it up in /etc/passwd.
If you're using a qmail-getpw replacement, then it may or may not
lowercase the name.  qmail-lspawn lowercases usernames before it looks
them up in users/assign.  Other delivery methods hook onto
~alias/.qmail-default.  They may or may not ignore case.

I've not taken it as far as pulling out all the domains, but I have a
few scripts that I use on a regular basis as follows. These are not
models of efficiency, but they do the job:

qusers:
  #!/bin/sh
  # show number of messages queued up per address
  /var/qmail/bin/qmail-qread | grep remote | grep -v done | sort | uniq -c | sort -n 

qyahoo:
  #!/bin/sh
  # summarise number of messages queued for a domain
  qusers | awk '$3 ~ /@yahoo\./ { sum=sum+$1 } END { print sum }'

Just for you, here's a freshly written script that counts things by
domain part. It doesn't attempt to establish what mail server they're
queued for (qmail doesn't store that information handily, one would
have to go through the log files and try and deduce it from the
information):

qdomains:
  #!/bin/sh
  /var/qmail/bin/qmail-qread | nawk '$1 ~ /remote/ { sub(/^.*@/,"",$2); 
domains[$2]=domains[$2]+1 } END { for ( domain in domains ) { print domains[domain], 
domain; } }' | sort -n

hope that helps,

James.

qmailadmin master passwd?

[Bill Parker]

Hello All,

How does one change the master password on qmail-admin
(the web based interface for vpopmail)?  I don't find any man
pages for vpopmail?  I'm running qmailadmin-0.26c and vpopmail-3.4.11
if that helps at all?

Also, how difficult is it to upgrade to the latest versions
of these two packages w/out breaking anything which is currently
running well?

QMQP Problems

[Tyrone Mills]

I'm having some difficulties getting QMQP working in my environment. Here's
the setup:

I've got a web server that needs to send E-Mails (confirmation e-mails,
etc), so I set it up as a QMQP client. I've followed the instructions at
http://cr.yp.to/qmail/mini.html for both the client and the server.

When I do a simple test on the web server: ls | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I get the following error: qmail-inject: fatal: connection to mail server
rejected (#4.4.1)

So I've been pulling my hair out, looking for where I went wrong in the
configuration. It seems to indicate that the problem is on the server side.
Here are the contents of some relevant config files:

Mail Server /etc/tcp.qmqp   :   216.232.111.156:allow
:deny

Mail Server /etc/tcp.smtp:  127.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""

216.232.111.156:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""

Mail Server /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts:   mail.itsallgeek.net
www.itsallgeek.net

Mail Server /var/qmail/control/locals:  mail.itsallgeek.net
www.itsallgeek.net

Web Server /var/qmail/control/idhost:   www.itsallgeek.net

Web Server /var/qmail/control/qmqpservers:  216.232.111.154 

Any help or hints would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Tyrone

RE: Forwarding to another system.

Roger,

Do a quick search in the qmail archives - your answer awaits!! I have
nearly the same setup - qmail server outside and Exchange 4.0 inside
I use pullmail to poll the qmail server via pop3 and it get sent to the
Exchange server via smtp. Works pretty well.

This may be a little late, but why don't you simply use one of the 
many Perl modules that deal with MIME and know how to do it right, 
for example, MIME::Lite?  Go to .

E-mail Addresses Not Converted to Lowercase Letters

[Hans Edwards]

I've discovered a problem that QMail is having and need some help  
on finding out why this is happening and how to fix the problem ...  

QMail is supposed to convert email addresses it receives to all   
lower-case letters.  Our installation is NOT doing that.  

To prove this to myself and others, I did the following: I sent an   
email to one of my qmail e-mail accounts from my work account -  
BUT, purposely used uppercase letters in the address:  

For example, I made [EMAIL PROTECTED] into:  
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED]  

When I checked my [EMAIL PROTECTED] account, the email I   
sent from my work account was not there.  When I logged into the  
postmaster account for my domain, the mail I tried to send to my   
"hans" account was there...undelivered to me.  

I've skimmed through the QMail book I bought to confirm that QMail
is supposed to be converting addresses to lower-case, but I   
couldn't find any information about what to do if QMail is NOT   
converting.  

This has caused a BIG problem for my customers over the past   
couple of months and I have been trying to figure out what the hell   
was going on; why they weren't receiving email.  Then I   
remembered to check the postmaster accounts and there were a   
ton of messages there...all with Capital letters in the addresses.

Can anyone help me with a solution to this problem? Thanks.

Hans

i would suggest the smtproutes file with the following content:

domain-a.xyz:ip.of.exchange.box
domain-b.xyz:ip.of.exchange.box

if you want to let your ISP's mailserver relay your outgoing 
mail, the last line of your smtproutes should be

:smtp.ofyour.isp

this results in a mail hub that will happily forward any mail
to your internal m$ exchange server. don't forget to put the 
domains into rcpthosts and to set up tcp.smtp properly. 
you really do not want to be an open relay - do you?

hope that helps

well, you can add his address to the accept.txt file directely... :)
I'll add a maildir and addressbook parser to get all the current addresses,

Hi,

I am trying to use omail-admin with vmailmgr, I can adduser or deluser

No need to write a script; just use the pass-through option
of fastforward:

-p  Pass through. If fastforward does not find the
recipient in cdb, it exits 0, giving the message to
further commands in .qmail-default. If fastforward
finds the recipient, it forwards the message and
exits 99, so that further commands are skipped.

The .qmail-default file would look like:

|fastforward -d -p /etc/aliases.cdb
&postmaster

No. It's the _sender_ address that was rejected. A similar
problem was reported on this list several months ago. See:

The best way (which allways worked for me) is to take the .tar.gz
files, and to compile and install the stuff yourself.
