End of the qmail era?

[Magnus Bodin]

(2001-apr-01) 
Sendmail, Inc. and the Postfix project have announced to make
the sendmail 10 release as a joint venture project. It will be a milestone
in email server development when the most installed server merges it source
with the most secure one. "We originally wanted to do the merge with
D.J.Bernsteins qmail-project but when reviewing the source we found it to be
so hard to read and that is definitively one of our first security issues to
deal with." said a Sendmail Consortium representative.

qmail smp

[Clemens Hermann]

Hi,

does qmail support systems with more then one processor (Intel)? If so, How
can I enable SMP-Support to really use both processors? Are there any
ressources about this issue on the web? I did not find any.

Thanks in advance for any hints

It's up to your operating system. qmail is not threaded, so SMP-support will
be effective when the different qmail processes will be scheduled to use
processor #1, #2 or any else.

Thanks, it works like a charm!

I'll make a few companion scripts (one to re-inject the message if the
admin determines it to be legit and one to insert a header so you can
quickly see what RBL it was in).

They'll be on my page below.

I did download a mbox file from a different machine and converted it into
Maildir format.

$ mutt -f temp.mbox

This filenames generated in the Maildir were as per Qmail recommended naming
convention, i.e. time.pid.host with the "2,S"

I don't think any MDA played a role in this name generation. It is Mutt that is
handling the name generation.

Why don't you also add a web browser to checkpassword?
After all, everybody needs a web browser, right?

Sheesh.




Is this supposed to be humor?

If you don't have a decent answer then either suggets a better solution or
keep quiet.

As much as I hate sendmail, after this response I may just go back to it
if this is what the qmail "community" is like.

performance boost?

[Simon K. Grabowski]

Hi,

Is there any speed/performance gain if I inject messages
directly via /mail/qmail/bin/qmail-inject instead of using
sendmail replacement (/mail/qmail/bin/sendmail)?
I know that sendmail command ultimately uses qmail-inject
to inject the messages so I figured I'd cut the 'middle-men'.

It appears that there are no side-effects provided that
I add "Return-Path <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"
in the beginning of the message.

Can there be any problems with such a set up?

Thanks!

INIT Scripts

[Christian Maier]

Hi!
This is my init script, which I am now using:

#!/bin/sh
env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin" \
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver 0 pop-3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup domain.com \
/var/qmail/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir &

Unfortunately it doesn't work! Anytime I send an email to an existing user
(I use vpopmail) I get a message like that:

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at domain.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.

<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1)

So what does that mean? Doesn't vpopmail create users correctly?

Thanks

Some Hints?

[Marco Calistri]

Hello,this is my first post on this mailing list.
I wonder if have I any chances to modify header lines
so that qmail reports hostnames instead of IPs:

Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Received: (qmail 1236 invoked from network); 1 Apr 2001 16:00:53 -

 with SMTP; 1 Apr 2001 16:00:53 -

Second:how to insert new names into /var/qmail/control/rcpthost
unless edit this file?

Third and last:using fetchmail as mail retrieval,I inserted the line

forcecr to * here

into .fetchmailrc,well I noted a speed down during mail downloads
from my POP server (external ISP) [??]

Can't help with the other questions, as I am using my own model for
checkpassword, but the encoding schemes for POP3 APOP and SMTP AUTH
(CRAM-MD5) are not compatible.

Re: another error mail in qmail account

[Peter Cavender]

Hello-

"cron" (periodic task scheduler) on most systems redirects the output of
anything it runs into an email sent to root@hostname.  Look in your
/etc/cron.weekly file to see what the heck is running.

This is actually a handy feature; muy backup script runs in cron, and all
the status output is conveniently emailed to root, and since root is
aliased in qmail, it goes to the "real" sysadmin account

qmail will always report an IP address.  If you haven't turned off
reverse-dns lookups, it will also report the hostname or "unknown".
If the HELO name differs from the reverse dns lookup, then it will
print the HELO name.

Sean showed how you can use tcpserver for listening.  For outbound,
you need to use the following patch.

http:[EMAIL PROTECTED]">Markus
Stumpf has a http://www.lamer.de/maex/creative/software/qmail/">pair of qmail
patches, one to cause qmail-smtpd to log its disposition of mail,
and another to convince qmail-remote to use a fixed IP address other
than the one you get without binding to an address.  Andy Repton has
ported the fixed IP address patch to
qmail 1.03.  Damir Cifer has better instructions for his http://tycho.edico.si/linuxtnt/#qmail-patch">port.

telnet or ftpd is not the main issue, starting any system services through
tcpserver is the point.
(Using tcpserver.conf)

>What's tcpserver.conf?

It is a file like inetd.conf. May be you are familiar with writing long 
tcpserver commands
to monitor the port and corresponding services to start, upon incoming request,
in some startup file like rc.conf, or through rc.d/init.d directory ---
Also it starts multiple instances of tcpserver for each port / service to 
monitor.

Compare with inetd.conf 
Where just a single entry suffices.

tcpserver.conf gives you the best of both worlds.
The ease of configuration of inetd & speed (sustaining quite high no of 
connections),
& security (tunable through .cdb files).

See attachment for tcpserver.conf
See also the man O/P (use more or less pager for proper viewing).

>What's tcpserver-control?

This is an added goodie of the bunch. It Actually parses the tcpserver.conf
& with a help of daemon-tools starts tcpserver to monitor the ports
given in tcpserver.conf (like inetd.conf)
(Thats What I Think, How ? I still have to figure out, that's the reason 
for my first mail !!)
All Options that can be given to tcpserver can be given in tcpserver.conf
(Looks like It)
And in a more structured & manageable way.
It also allows to start / stop & status monitoring of the services handled 
by tcpserver.

See tcpserver-control man page. (use more or less pager to view correctly)

after the initial setup (not using tcpserver) I could run and access and
deliver mail normally. After setting up tcpserver and getting it running
and working however, my SMTP server continues to receive and que mail,
but will no longer deliver it. When I run qmail-local manually it
returns a Error 4.3.0: Unable to Rewind Message error. 

Thoughts help or suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.

Yes. But for tcpserver-control, you have to ask Andreas Ferber that
stands behind that package at 

It's not any standard software that ships with tcpserver.

footer in email

[qmail]

Hi all,

We have managed to implement adding a footer to our outgoing email
messages and would like to put up the program source somewhere for qmail.

The program is written in Pascal,
and is written for /Maildir/ and we implement it with auto-turn.
It scans the email and 
1  Identify the text component and put a message at the end of the text part 
2  Identify the html component and put a message at the end of the html part

The footer is in 2 separate text files which can be easily customized 
We have made cron change the random messages

We can put up a web-page with the source code in it and a small how-to
implement it. Please let me know what to do.

with best regards

Received: (blah...FOR username)

[Ken Corey]

Hi All,

My ISP in the States uses a mail package that puts the targetted recipient in 
the 'Received' header, as shown in the subject.  

This is useful, as I use unique addresses are one of the tools I use to help 
block spam.  (http://sneakemail.com).

Does qmail support this feature (or an equivalent)?

Qmail is great software. I suppose, this is not possible to "shut
down" qmail :-)

It was one of yesterdays april fools jokes.

I'd just thought I had to spice things up one last time with that silly
URL-scheme and all that.

Sorry if someone misunderstood.

1. Stop qmail.
2. find /var/qmail/queue/mess -type f | xargs rm -f
3. find /var/qmail/queue/info -type f | xargs rm -f
4. find /var/qmail/queue/local -type f | xargs rm -f
5. find /var/qmail/queue/remote -type f | xargs rm -f
6. Start qmail.
