My run script looks like this: #!/bin/sh exec fghack /usr/local/sbin/sshd <&- I don't know what -D does. You probably meant to use -d (debug); while it suppresses sshd's urge to background itself, it also only allows one connection. This is fine if you have a good connection which never drops.

Can you help me ??(about limit of the number of per process file hand
Dear All, I am newer of learning FreeBSD and qmail. Now when I config the limit of the number of per process file handles for qmail to send about a concurrencyremote of 1000 ,I meet the question that I can not increase the number of file handles about a concurrencyremote of 500 (I have patched the patch ). I modify the types.h file at /usr/src/sys/sys/types.h ,and set "#define FD_SETSIZE 4096" ,but when I do "make" in the install firld ,there is some mistakes : ./chkspawn Oops. Your system's FD_SET() has a hidden limit of 1024 descriptors. This means that the qmail daemons could crash if you set the run-time concurrency higher than 509. So I'm going to insist that the concurrency limit in conf-spawn be at most 509. Right now it's 600. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/home/zsh/qmail/qmail-1.03. So I am very hurry. I think you can help me . Thank you very much Sincerely, wings

Also note that qmail is normally installed in /var/qmail, not /etc/qmail. I presume you altered /var/qmail to /etc/qmail in conf-home when compiling qmail. If not, put your control files in /var/qmail/control instead. cheers, Andrew.

FW: DNS question
-Original Message- From: David T. Ashley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, March 28, 2001 6:55 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: DNS question I read the HOWTO for q-mail, but there is one thing I don't understand. It states that I need a DNS and that my machines have to be listed in the DNS for qmail to work. I have a hardware firewall (one of those $150 boxes) guarding my DSL line with a static IP. Is it good enough that my static IP has a reverse-DNS resolution, or do my "internal" addresses need to resolve as well. For example, my static IP is 64.129.57.5, but the server (internally, behind the firewall) is 192.168.0.33. Clearly, trying to reverse-DNS the latter will lead to trouble, whereas the former is OK. It isn't clear to me what is meant by the statements about DNS in the HOWTO or what qmail needs to be viable. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks, Dave.
Re: FW: DNS question
> firewall) is 192.168.0.33. Clearly, trying to reverse-DNS the latter will > lead to trouble, whereas the former is OK. You are using NAT - if you only want to send email from your internal network to the world and get your mails by "polling" it somehow you get no problem (except that your netblock may be blocked by some mail servers). If you want to provide services like smtp to the world you have two choices: a) establish that service on your NAT box (I assume it's impossible on that $155 box) b) your box must be able to redirect defined ports to hosts at your internal network. Most NAT devices can do that, some cannot. Regarding DNS: If you provide services to the world always the address of your firewall box is visible to the world. Your internal addresses don't matter.

oh no, not another relaying question...
Hi I have a roaming user who is having severe problems sending mail via ISP. Consequently, I need to let her relay urgently. She authenticates using IMAP from Outlook on a Mac (os9.0.4). I only installed Qmail two weeks ago thus I'm a little new. I've read the archive and as I understand it I have two options: 1/ Apply the patch to allow relaying on the basis of the senders addy. ( http://www.palomine.net/qmail/relaymailfrom.html ) I have no idea how one applies a patch... :o) a pointer to a man page or how-to would be great. 2/ Slot in Bruce Guenter's relay-ctrl thingy ( http://em.ca/~bruceg/relay-ctrl/current/relay-ctrl-2.5.tar.gz ). Looks great but requries "tcpserver with qmail-smtpd". Tcpserver is in my /usr/local/bin but doesn't look like it is called from inetd :- bash-2.04# cat /etc/inetd.conf | grep qmail smtpstream tcp nowait qmaild /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env tcp-env /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd [snip] do I just substitute tcpserver for tcp-env and follow the instructions in Bruce's page? My OS is OpenBSD 2.8 Please note I'm looking for the FASTEST solution. My roaming user is on a ship in the north sea, is dependent on flaky GSM/radio/sat links and is trying to get some work done.

qmail & imap
Hello, I'm looking for some imap server supporting Maildirs. I found links to Courier-IMAP, imap-2000, ... on qmail homepage. The best looking one to me is Courier IMAP as it offers modular authentication (including vpopmail's vchkpw which I use). I'd like to have it supporting tcpserver (from daemontools). I found a note in Courier IMAP docs how to do it, so maybe I'll be able to make it working. Anyway I'd like to know if someone uses Courier IMAP with qmail (installed from qmail+patches.rpms by Bruce Guenter) and vpopmail. * What pop3d to use? The one from qmail or the one from Courier IMAP? Some comparation? * Which auth. module to use? authvchkpw which supports existing cdb files from qmail/vpopmail or authuserdb from Courier IMAP? Courier IMAP pages recommend to convert vchkpw to userdb, why? Is there some performace decrease/increase? Please let me know if I can expect some difficulities when using Courier IMAP with qmail/vpopmail, and how to make it working as fast and as easily as possible. Some hints are welcome. Regards, Edas

No. tcpserver *replaces* inetd (for running qmail-smtpd). Follow the instructions at http://cr.yp.to/qmail/faq/servers.html#tcpserver-smtpd for using tcpserver to start qmail-stmpd.

Something is already listening to the port you're trying to bind to (probably 25).

Alternate MDA
I'm looking to implement maildrop system-wide, so that I don't have to fiddle around with setting it up for each user that wants mail filtering. I've been told by maildrop's author that I should just install it as my default mail delivery agent. I've been all over the qmail.org page, Life with Qmail, and all of that good stuff, and I don't see a lot about switching MDAs. Could anyone point me to a good resource on the subject?

qmail remote / local problems ...
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Okay ... Simple enough set up, I have a box on the end of a cable modem, I get an SMTP feed for my main domain from an ISP which holds primary and secondary MX for it, but only from my addresses, (for example [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED]). This part is no problem, my box accepts and delivers these mails correctly. The next part of the scenario is, I have some mates with addresses (eg [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED]) who have pop boxes at this ISP and get their mail direct from those. The problem occurs when I want my machines from my LAN to send out mail (through my SMTP server) to one of these other [EMAIL PROTECTED] which according to MX is not my server, but according to control/virtualdomains and the rules I have in assign, it is How do I get the box to distiguish between local and remote delivery so I can continue to get my mail via SMTP feed, but I can still post out to other users and domain.com who's popboxes are held at my ISP ?

Maildir file naming convention
I use Maildir format for my incoming mail. In the past, I have used maildrop as my MDA and now I have switched to procmail. I use Mutt as my MUA and have converted (today) some email from mbox to maildir format. The naming convention of each mail is different for procmail vs maildrop (and mutt converted) email. The format is listed as follows, -rw--- 1 subba users 3599 Mar 28 07:32 985764747.20966_23.myhost:2,S -rw--- 1 subba users28883 Mar 28 01:55 __XE,5RUw6.myhost:2,S How are these random names generated?

It's the first argument to qmail-start, supplied by your rc/start script. If you want maildrop to be your default delivery agent, supply something like "| /usr/bin/maildrop" as that argument.

If the system-wide default delivery instruction is "| /usr/bin/maildrop", and I have a .qmail file in my home directory which contains "./Maildir/", qmail will not call maildrop for mail delivered to me@yourdomain -- it will instead file it straight to my Maildir, as my .qmail file instructs it to. Such are the joys of allowing users to control the disposition of their own mail. I don't know what ".mailfilter" is.

To quote from the webpage: "A unique name can be anything that doesn't contain a colon (or slash) and doesn't start with a dot.". On that basis, the procmail filename is fine. Sure the webpage goes on to *suggest* one method for generating unique names, but there is no suggestion that that is the only way.

Well, mutt lives within the rules of Maildir by only appending the :info data to the filename rather than generating new filenames (postponed messages notwithstanding). Regards.

On the other hand, if procmail followed djb's (suggested) rules for naming convention, it's guaranteed not to collide with any process anywhere in the known universe at any point in the lifetime of the universe(1). You could therefore argue that choosing another naming convention is "being dumb". Perhaps two simultaneous procmails could collide? I don't use it, so I don't know. Charles (1) Yes, if you have two machines with the same hostname delivering to the same Maildir at the same instant, and the pids and delivery count of the two processes match, you'll get a collision.

Rewriting domain name on outbound messages
I have been looking through the FAQ, the docs and the archives, but I am still confused. I am setting up a new qmail server which will act as a relay for our internal servers to the outside world, as well as receiving email for the various domains we own. So far I have been able to get qmail to accept, and if necessary forward, email for the various domains we receive mail for. My problem now is that mail going out through the qmail server must appear as though it is from @external-domain.com, regardless of which internal machine sent the mail. Right now, if I have server1.internal_lan.com, server2.internal_lan.com, and server3.internal_lan.com (all still running sendmail at this point), and I tell them to use my qmail server as their relay, messages go out as <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. I need them to be <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, otherwise our clients will not be able to respond (and in some cases may even reject the message as spam). Currently I have the domains I will accept mail for in rcpthosts, and locals. I have set defaultdomain, me and defaulthost to "external-domain.com". What am I missing to make *outgoing* emails conform to @external-domain.com? I've seen mention of mess822, but nothing that seems to pertain to my situation. Should I be changing the sendmail.cf files instead? I'm not really concerned if the real server name appears in the headers somewhere, but the From: and (if used) Reply-To: should show @external-domain.com. I know several of you think this is old hat, but it's confusing to me. Your assistance is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Right now, I send the message to that person, then re-send it to the other people, or send the original message to everyone with the special notes in a seperate message. Has anyone seen an RFC or had any ideas for the inclusion of recipient specific subjects, etc? Perhaps based on MIME? This would be best done at the MUA or MTA level I would imagine.

There's some information and programs for manually twiddling the queue referenced at www.qmail.org. Removing subdirectories of queue/remote will definitely corrupt your queue.

If you just want to hide the hostnames, you can use settings like: 192.168.1.:allow,RELAYCLIENT="",TCPREMOTEHOST="" in your smtp.cdb to prevent your internal hosts' names from showing up in Received: headers, and allow them to relay through your qmail server. > Should I be changing the sendmail.cf files instead?

sqwebmail-1.2.5
Hi All,
With the help of inter7.com, I now have qmailadmin and vpopmail upgraded to
the latest versions. I decided to have a go at it with upgrading sqwebmail
to version
1.2.5 on my own.
I found the following ./configure was used originally when sqwebmail was first
installed:
# ./configure
--enable-webpass=no
--without-authldap
--without-authpam
--without-authuserdb
--with-db=gdbm
--enable-cgibindir='/home/httpd/cgi-bin'
--with-userdb=/etc/userdb
--with-makedatprog='${exec_prefix}/libexec/sqwebmail/makedatprog'
--with-formdata
--without-authlib-man
--sysconfdir=${datadir}/sqwebmail
now, if I use the same ./configure for version 1.2.5, it should work the
same way, no?
Any help would be appreciated (trying to learn on my own)
-Bill

I added the addresses with a comma between. It didn't work, so I went in and edited the alias file to put each address on a separate line and everything seems to have gone through just fine. Thanks to all who answered for your help again.

One could also argue that procmail is being dumb by defining an 'abnormal' namespace. Another package defining an 'abnormal' namespace may use a completely different algorithm, that generates the same string as procmail does at *another* moment. Voila, a clash. Also note that procmail makes no effort *at all* to check if it's replacing an already-delivered mail. If something clashes, tough luck. Therefore, procmail can lose mail (and I have heard suggestions that procmail's algorithm doesn't guarantee uniqueness, even, but I haven't verified that). > > > How are these random names generated? > > Anyway the MDA wants. The primary requirement is that it be > unique. You should not infer any meaning beyond uniqueness for > everything before the colon. But uniqueness can only be guaranteed by consensus! procmail's Maildir implementation is (even ignoring this uniqueness problem) almost guaranteed to *lose* mail. It neglects to implement several of the Maildir requirements. To my knowledge (from extensive sourcecode reading) only qmail-local and safecat 1.5 and up implement Maildir correct *and* acceptable. (Len owes me beer for the diff between safecat 1.4 and 1.5 :) Disclaimer: I have not looked at all maildir implementations yet. I have looked at procmail's, and it is heavily inadequate.

qmail and hyphens in domain names
Hi all, I'm having a bit of a problem. I am trying to deliver mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I keep getting the message: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1) Now there are other domain names i.e xyz-at-domain.co.uk that work perfectly well. The domain name is in the rcpthosts file as well as the virtualdomains file in the format :- 'domain-name.com:domain-name.com__' . I have checked and double checked the spelling in each file. This domain name worked fine under sendmail The mail addresses for domain-name.com reside in /etc/aliases which are reached via 'fastforward' in /var/qmail/alias/qmail-default domain-name.com__-advice: name1 domain-name.com__-sales: name1 domain-name.com__-export: name1 domain-name.com__-support: name1 domain-name.com__-admin: name1 name1 is a local user (who is in the database). All other virtual domains are configured the same as above and they work fine. I have also checked the file permissions/owner/group on the user's homedir/Maildir/new/cur/tmp and all are correct. This problem is only affecting one virtual domain. We are also using a postgres database instead of the /etc/passwd file. We do not check for virtualdomains when users log on. Is there any quirk in qmail that handles domains with '-' any differently to other domain names? Thanks Dean Browett

faster than bcc
I remember reading that the fastest way to send one email to a large number of people is through bcc. This was helpful to me because I'm not able to use a mailing list since the addresses I send to will be pulled dynamically from a database which is always changing. But somehow, populating the bcc field with a million names seems like it might not be the best idea to me. I understand qmail deletes this field before sending the message out but I'm more concerned with whether or not it will be making efficient use of the queue. Is the queue even used for one message sent to numerous people or is it only used for separate messages? If there's a better method than bcc-ing everyone, I'm very open to hearing it. One suggestion I got but which I can't get to work is: cat list.txt | xargs qmail-inject -a

Cool. I'm building a webpage about correct Maildir-implementations. I audited qmail-local and safecat for it, found bugs in safecat, got distracted, and am busy now.

Bcc is indeed efficient, because it only injects one message into the queue. The xargs method is quite efficient, but not as efficient as the Bcc trick. Note too that the Bcc trick is only guaranteed to work reliably when used with qmail-inject. Greetz, Peter.

But they were doing fork(); exit() (or the equivalent of) if I remember correctly. With real processes, especially doing Maildir deliveries (with the accompanying I/O delays), I'm not particularly worried. Sure, an attacker could spawn a lot of short-lived processes in an attempt to cause a collision in mail delivery, but they'd need local access to the box to even have a shot at it. Besides, getmail uses's djb's pid_deliverycount for the middle member of the filename, since it does multiple deliveries from the same process. The attacker can't cause a collision here even that easily.

[announcement] qmail-smtpd-requireauth version 0.10 available
All- I needed a way to require authenticated SMTP for certain client IP addresses, so I wrote a patch to cause qmail-smtpd to require authentication if the REQUIREAUTH environment variable is set. Since I run qmail-smtpd from tcpserver, I use tcprules to set the REQUIREAUTH variable when appropriate. If REQUIREAUTH is set, qmail-smtpd will not accept any MAIL FROM commands before the client has authenticated. The qmail-smtpd-requireauth patch goes on top of Krzysztof Dabrowski's qmail-smtpd-auth patch, which enables authenticated SMTP in qmail-smtpd. I am now releasing the qmail-smtpd-requireauth patch for public consumption, flogging, trashing, etc. See http://www.netable.com/~dburkes/qmail-smtpd-requireauth for details on installation and usage.

Do you mean your server? Or your mail client? What do your logs say? Could you please post the relevant sections of your logs that might have errors in them. It's much better to post the relevant information regarding the problem, that way the community can help you fix whats broken. - Jack Thomas - [EMAIL PROTECTED]

inquire
all mails sent by the email address [EMAIL PROTECTED] will have an automatic cc copy to [EMAIL PROTECTED]? is this possible?
Re: inquire
yes this is very easy to do. find the .qmail-x for the email address you are trying to redirect and then simply add your second email address to it. Once you open the file and look at you will see its very simple to do. i.e .qmail-abuse file contents &[EMAIL PROTECTED] &[EMAIL PROTECTED] thanks Jps > all mails sent by the email address [EMAIL PROTECTED] will have an automatic > cc copy to [EMAIL PROTECTED]? is this possible? > > >

shell vs qmail
for some unknown to me reason when i type csh -cf '/var/qmail/rc &' just like INSTALL says it gives me PATH on screen and when it starts to run qmail-start it "freezes", well not really freezes.. but nothing is happened i even went to bin directory and run ./qmail-start itself on my other box it shows status: local and etc.. so i'm running it through bash and it seems to work although i had to change script a bit does it matter? which shell? and/or why isn't it running like it supposte to (like in INSTALL)?

Dear all, I am using qmail 1.03 on Redhat 6.2 box. I have just shifted from Mailbox format to Maildir format. And i am using qpopper-qmail-2.53-1-PAM.i386.rpm for pop daemon. If i am doing telnet on localhost at port 110 , then it showing that pop daemon is running, And if i am providing username and password over there just to check the mail, but its saying 0 message , while i am having mails in my Maildir/new folders. How can i fetch mails now using Maildir format ? Regards Lokesh
