RE: slow smtp connection
From: Tim Legant [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Have you noticed that the people who get frustrated over the same questions being asked again and again are the same people who answer the vast majority of real questions? For free? Day in and day out? That's where your whole argument falls apart. That's why vacancies are made for. We all are volunteers here, day in and day out, but not all here (I refer to those that bring simple questions) read every single message - I bet.

Re: Question about tcpserver program
Selective relaying is not about controlling who can send mail to your mailserver. Selective relaying is about deciding whether or not to accept a message from someone that your mailserver would have to send somewhere else. As a gross generalization: Your mailserver will happily accept mail sent from anyone, as long as the final destination is local. (In other words, as long as your mailserver doesn't have to send it anywhere else, and can deliver it locally, it will accept the mail. This makes sense; otherwise all the mailservers on the internet wouldn't be able to email you, because they wouldn't be in your 'allowed' list). The selective relay comes into play when your mailserver recieves a message from someone, and the final destination of that email is not local. For example. abc.com = 10.1.1.xxx = your company Lets say you want to let anyone on your company's class C use your mailserver, so you add the following to your /etc/tcp.smtp: 10.1.1.:allow,RELAYCLIENT= .. and then reload it. Ok, now your users @abc.com can use your mailserver as a relay. This means they are not restricted to only emailing other @abc.com users; they can use your mailserver to send mail to @aol.com or @home.com or whatever. Now lets say they have a friend who uses @xyz.com. You dont host xyz.com, so you dont add the IP's associated with it to your /etc/tcp.smtp list. Their friend @xyz.com can still mail your users @abc.com since @abc.com is LOCAL/on your server, and it doesn't have to forward the email anywhere. However, if the user @xyz.com tries to use your mailserver to send mail to @aol.com, your server will say hm, @aol.com is not a local domain, I'd have to connect to another mailserver to deliver that. Let me see if the user's IP from @xyz.com is in my /etc/tcp.smtp file. Nope, not there, he must not be authorized to use me as a relay and it will reject their message. This explanation is minimal, and doesn't take into account RBL's, Spamfilters, badmailfrom, etc, but perhaps it will help you understand relaying a little better.

qmail/fastforward bug ?
Hi All, I have been experiencing problems trying to send an email to a virtual domain fasttrack-assoc.com on our server. This was strange as the entries in virtualdomains and rcpthosts are as follows: (taken from virtualdomain) fasttrack-assoc.com:fasttrack-assoc.com__ (taken from rcpthosts) fasttrack-assoc.com Our mail server is configured to use fastforward and the .qmail-default file (in /var/qmail/alias)contains: | fastforward -d /etc/aliases.cdb The entry in /etc/aliases contains: fasttrack-assoc.com__-dean: dbrowett Every time I sent an email to any user in that domain the following entry apppeared in the log: @40003aefed7404d8e9d4 starting delivery 6421: msg 209571 to local [EMAIL PROTECTED] @40003aefed7404d918b4 status: local 1/10 remote 1/20 @40003aefed74084783b4 delivery 6421: failure: Sorry,_no_mailbox_here_by_that _name._(#5.1.1) However, if I ran the command env DEFAULT=fasttrack-assoc.com__-dean HOST=mail.fasttrack-assoc.com fastforward -nd /etc/aliases.cdb I received the following output which suggests to me that mail to that user should be delivered. from original envelope sender to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (this address being expanded from dbrowett in /etc/aliases) Now, if I substituted a '.' for the '-' between fasttrack and assoc.com i.e. 'fasttrack.assoc.com' in the extension part of the address in virtualdomain and applied the same change to the entry in /etc/aliases i.e. fasttrack.assoc.com__-dean: dbrowett the mail gets delivered. The headers from such a delivery are as follows: Return-Path: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Received: (qmail 27057 invoked by uid 500); 2 May 2001 11:11:58 - Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Received: (qmail 27051 invoked by uid 0); 2 May 2001 11:11:58 - Date: 2 May 2001 11:11:58 - Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This problem only applies to this domain. To verify this I set up another virtual domain using the same format as fasttrack, wobblyone-world.com, to see if the format of the domain had any bearing on the problem. This appears not to be the case as the mail was delivered (see headers below). The following appeared in the logs: @40003af00734365241f4 starting delivery 51: msg 209566 to local wobblyone-world.

OT: Sending Mail with C++
I've seen the wars going on the last couple of days with people being tired of answering stupid questions, so my apologies if this appears to be such a question. I've learned that in Perl, sending an e-mail through the system is as simple as outputting to /usr/bin/sendmail -t. I figured that doing this with C++ would be just as simple; I'd just open an ofstream with ios::app and print to it. However, this doesn't seem to work, and after conducting what I feel to be an exhaustive search of the web, I'm seeing nothing on the subject. Has anyone ever sent mail using a C++ program? If so, I'd appreciate either some tips or a pointer to a URL discussing it. Thanks in advance. Alex Le Fevre

RE: Sending Mail with C++
I've seen the wars going on the last couple of days with people being tired of answering stupid questions, so my apologies if this appears to be such a question. Only stupids don't ask - Teatcher Bajwa :-) I've learned that in Perl, sending an e-mail through the system is as simple as outputting to /usr/bin/sendmail -t.

However, this doesn't seem to work, and after conducting what I feel to be an exhaustive search of the web, I'm seeing nothing on the subject. Alex, it's a developent issue, not targeted to this community, but I think I can help you. My apologies to those who feel this message breakes the list's spirit. Has anyone ever sent mail using a C++ program? If so, I'd appreciate either some tips or a pointer to a URL discussing it. This kind of action is much better done with std::popen(). I think you are confused with STL (I dislike it). Regards, Wagner.

You would run qmail-smtpd as your main SMTP server and point your MX records at that IP. You would run ofmipd on a different IP and tell your students to configure their mail clients to point to that box. It's simple and perhaps worth thinking about. I can recommend this approach. We do something similar here, using ipchains to redirect local users from port 25 to another port where ofmipd handles their mail.

Coding scripts for QMAILQUEUE patch
Hi: I would like to write some scripts to rewrite headers on incoming messages received through qmail. I patched qmail with QMAILQUEUE patch, and now it works OK. I know that Bruce Guenter's qmail-qfilter could be helpful here, bit I would like to use QMAILQUEUE directly by now. The question: is there some repository for filtering scripts using QMAILQUEUE directly ?. A simple script that reads messages from qmail-smtpd and passes them as-is to qmail-queue will be very helpful to me. I'm sure this script is quite simple (maybe just opening a couple of fd from which to read the messages from), but I'd like to get a working script to build on it and learn (a bash script would be perfect :).

Mail Stuck in Queue
After resolving the POP slowdown issue with the help of some of the more polite folks here, I have developed a new problem. All mail that gets queued for delivery simply sits in the queue and doesn't get delivered. It doesn't matter if the mail is for local delivery, or is relay mail headed for a remote mail server. What I am aware of changing: I added -R and -H to tcpserver's command line, and I added my 10.x.x.x network to tcp.smtp.cdb. I can now deliver mail via SMTP to rblsmtpd, and it does queue the mail, so I doubt the issue is in my tcp connection rules. I am accepting connections with rblsmtpd with the no-TXT-records patch, and logging is being done by splogger to /var/log/messages. There are no messages indicating anything related to qmail in syslog since the issue began, except for one notation where rblsmtpd rejected a message from a black holed site. The line invoking rblsmtpd is (beware wordwrap): /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -R -H -x /etc/tcprules/tcp.smtp.cdb \ -u 1004 -g 2108 0 smtp /usr/local/bin/rblsmtpd -r blackholes.mail-abuse.org \ -r dialups.mail-abuse.org \ -r 'relays.mail-abuse.org:Open relay problem - see URL:http://www.mail-abuse.org/cgi-bin/nph-rss?%IP%' \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 21 | /var/qmail/bin/splogger smtpd 3 I can see messages queueing in /var/qmail/queue/mess/*, but they are not delivered either locally or to a remote host (mail.swbell.net). Through testing with other mail servers, I have determined that mail.swbell.net is operating normally -- it both sends and receives mail. I've sent test messages to my problem machine via mail.swbell.net and found them in my queue, waiting for local delivery. /var/qmail/queue/lock/trigger has permissions as described in LWQ.

All mail that gets queued for delivery simply sits in the queue and doesn't get delivered. It doesn't matter if the mail is for local delivery, or is relay mail headed for a remote mail server. What I am aware of changing: I added -R and -H to tcpserver's command line, and I added my 10.x.x.x network to tcp.smtp.cdb. I can now deliver mail via SMTP to rblsmtpd, and it does queue the mail, so I doubt the issue is in my tcp connection rules. I am accepting connections with rblsmtpd with the no-TXT-records patch, and logging is being done by splogger to /var/log/messages. There are no messages indicating anything related to qmail in syslog since the issue began, except for one notation where rblsmtpd rejected a message from a black holed site.

The DNS MX record for xyz.com needs to point to your machine (not an IP address but a machine name - if abc.com works, then you have already set this up correctly once). 1. Add xyz.com:someuser to /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains (no quotes). This means you want all mail for that virtual domain to go to someuser, who is a local user on your system. Let's say it's bob. When someone sends mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], qmail will deliver it to the user bob. Bob should have a ~bob/.qmail-default to catch all mail for that domain or, if he wants to separate it, he could have a ~bob/.qmail-info file to catch the [EMAIL PROTECTED] address. 2. Send a HUP signal to qmail-send (kill -HUP process-id-for-qmail-send) 3. Add xyz.com to /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts to indicate that you will accept mail for that domain. That's it. This is just a slight expansion on the following entry in the qmail FAQ: http://cr.yp.to/qmail/faq/incominghost.html#virtual man dot-qmail for information about how extension addresses (~/.qmail-info) work. If you want to have mail for xyz.com delivered to multiple users on your system, look into either vpopmail or vmailmgr. You can find references to them at http://www.qmail.org/ . They each have their own mailing lists for support.

1. can't exceed 257 conc? 2. can't exceed 5600 Bccs?
I have two problems.
Problem #1:
I've installed the big concurrency patch successfully and yet I cannot get
above 257 connections at once. I'm using Debian Linux 2.2.18pre21 and from
what I read, it should be quite possible to adjust the maximum processes per
user through 'limit' (or 'ulimit' depending on the shell) rather than
adjusting and recompiling the kernel. Well, I'm root, I do the adjustments
to limit ('limit maxproc 1000') but when I check the logs, qmail never gets
above 257 concurrency (256 is the default limit of maxproc). I do a 'limit'
before and after I run my script and get the following output each time:
cputime unlimited
filesizeunlimited
datasizeunlimited
stacksize 8192 kbytes
coredumpsize0 kbytes
memoryuse unlimited
descriptors 1
memorylockedunlimited
maxproc 1000
openfiles 1
So the limit adjustment is sticking and yet it's being ignored. I thought at
one point that maybe when I change the limit as root it doesn't apply to
user qmailr (the user opening all the connections) but when I 'su qmailr'
and check 'limit' I get the same updated numbers so that doesn't seem to be
the problem. In the logfiles, the error I get at 257 concurrent connections
is this:
May 2 16:21:07 debian qmail: 988845667.036121 status: local 0/10 remote

ed_message./Remote_host_said:_250_Requested_mail_action_okay,_completed/
qmail-spawn unable to fork pretty much tells me it's a linux resource
problem. Okay, but what are 'limit' and 'ulimit' for if the adjustments I
make to them are ignored? I realize this is more of a Linux question than a
qmail one but at the same time, I know it's something many qmail users must
have run into so I'm hoping I can get some feedback. Thanks.
Problem #2:
Is there a limit on the maximum number of Bccs you can have for a single
message? I ask because somewhere between 5600 and 5700 Bccs qmail-inject
stops trying. That is, I can send one message Bcced to 5600 people fine. But
when I try to send the same message Bcced to 5700 people, qmail doesn't even
try. The logs don't show that anything took place whatsoever. I suppose this
could be another Linux resource issue but then wouldn't qmail at least try
to send the message and then give me an error like it does above when it
can't fork? Also puzzling is the fact that I *can* do this: call
qmail-inject twice in a row, each time with 5600 recipients and qmail sends
all 11200 messages fine.

Remember, honesty reaps the reward!!! 1.. After you have ordered all 5 reports, take this advertisement and REMOVE the name address of the person in REPORT # 5.

I would like to use a round robin distribution list.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] should be forward all

the first message should be forwarded to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] , the next one to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] , the next to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] the next to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] and so on
The server domain.com is running:
qmail, vpopmail, ezmlm and ezmlm-idx
I'm trying to use a simple script in .qmail-support that replace the
forward instruction each time, but i think that it isnt a good solution.
Why? It's cool enough for three persons.
Otherwise:
echo | roundrobin.pl supportpersonell.txt .qmail-support
and in supportpersonell.txt you have the email-addresses in order,
line by line, like this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
etc.
It will be used and rotated by roundrobin.pl
roundrobin.pl:

Using /users assign file with mailing list
I have a small problem with one of our accounts. We have a user account set up for one of our mailing lists (/home/vcpphelp). We are using the User Table method for assigning where qmail delivers e-mail to. The problem is that for all of our other accounts we use /Maildir, except for this mailing list account... we want it to use the standard ezmlm .qmail file instead. However when I add: =vcpphelp:vcpphelp:501:501:/home/vcpphelp:-:: +vcpphelp-:vcpphelp:501:501:/home/vcpphelp:-:: to /var/qmail/users/assign qmail reports in the error logs: May 3 01:06:56 dev qmail: 988866416.131424 starting delivery 2: msg 391366 to local [EMAIL PROTECTED] May 3 01:06:56 dev qmail: 988866416.131598 status: local 1/120 remote 0/50 May 3 01:06:56 dev qmail: 988866416.140934 delivery 2: deferral: Unable_to_chdir_to_maildir._(#4.2.1)/ May 3 01:06:56 dev qmail: 988866416.141080 status: local 0/120 remote 0/50 So as you can see it's loking for a Maildir instead. What can I do to get around this problem... thanks David Coley
RE: Using /users assign file with mailing list
Sorry people, I just realized what I did wrong. I'm so use to setting up e-mail lists as sub-users on domains that I miswrote the .qmail file name in the ezmlm-make command. changing all the .qmail files from .qmail-vcpphelp-* to .qmail-* fixed the problems... sorry.
