QmailList [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: when the internet connection is loss while downloading the mail and all the mail comes again when they reconnect, This is the correct behaviour. Mail will be deleted when the client sends the QUIT command to the server. If the connection is lost before the mails will still be there. Your clients may set up their POP clients so, that they only download unread mail, so they don't get duplicates. This still leaves the mail at the server (bad for you) and it slows down the downloading process. This is not good for flaky connections. Possibly you should provide compressed UUCP transfers with batch sizes below 5k. This could be more reliable. Regards, Frank

queue operates very slow !
Hello all , I am having a problem with my qmail server and maybe you could help solving my problem or give me a little hint of how to solve my own problem . Problem Description : I am sending mail from my internal network to the outside world and the server hold the messages in the queue for a long time until it sends the message . When I say alot of time I mean a text message with no attachments takes about 10-20 minutes to leave my queue and get back to me if i send my self a message to test the system through my parent MX server . My network configuration is that I have one major domain which has an MX that routes all the mails to my sub domain mail server , for example : domain.com contains MX yyy.domain.com -- this is my primary domain . fff.domain.com is a subdomain to domain.com and hold my local mail server fff.domain.com . all messages going to domain.com and needs to be forwarded to fff.domain.com areforwarded to the@fff.domain.com . MY Qmail Configuration : concurrencylocal : 100 concurrencyremote:100 My Mail server is a client dns and contains all the clients in /etc/hosts . I noticed that a problemcould occure with auth service so i fixed it to !! I am using in my smtpdrun script the rbl lists as a wrapper like in dan bernstein howto . So what could be the problem whythe mail takesso long to be sent out??? I would really appriciate the help and if more info is needed please let meknow . Regards , Nissim .

linebreak handling / qmail-inject
Hi everybody! I considered that qmail seems to make a difference between DOS and UNIX style linebreaks (\r\n AND \n) when sending mails from localhost. As it makes no difference between these linebreak styles when receiving and delivering remote mails to local users I expected qmail also to handle locally sent DOS style mails properly. Furthermore I considered sendmail does this. My qmail is running on a linux box. I tested it with PHP using the mail() function and in addition by using qmail-inject and sending a mail from a textfile that looked like this: to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]USLB USLB Line1LB Line2LB LB Line4LB where USLB always was a Unix style linebreak (\n) and LB either was a Unix style linebreak too or a DOS style linebreak (\r\n). The results in my Outlook were as follows: Unix style linebreaks: Line1 Line2 Line4 DOS style linebreaks: Line1 Line2 Line4 Is this the usual behaviour of qmail? That would mean, that it is not 100% sendmail compatible... or did I misconfigure something? If there is a solution for handling DOS style linebreaks with qmail I would appreciate any hints.

Are you talking about the partitioning? if one bus fails nothing goes wrong, but if you got unrecoverable data errors on a controller or other bad components, the filesystem gets damaged. Yes, with any disk subsystem if you have undetectable controller errors, bad things happen. due to it's nature, being a ufs/ffs, EMC Symmetrix do not use UFS/FFS unless the host you're connecting to the disk chooses to format the disks that way. If you don't want to deal with UFS, use a logging file system. i personally prefer the netapps (although the filesystems are somewhat limited in size compared to emc or ibm) A NetApp is a completely different sort of machine than an EMC. A NetApp exports files over protocol rather than as a simple SCSI device. Maybe you're talking about EMC's Clarion stuff, which is different, or some of their newer experimental SAN stuff?

using safecat to filter mail

I know supervise is a replacement for just putting something in rc.d or whatever, and i think i have that running right, since qmail is running.What I'mhoping to accomplish is the delivery ofthe email into the correct user's maildir. Confused as to how vmailmgr fits into this, i've even made the .qmail file in the user's directory simply point at the maildir directory, instead of using the | to send the mail to the vmailmgr.

$EXT value clarification, virtual domain question
Howdy Question 1) I'm not sure I understand the values of $EXT correctly. Will someone confirm/deny my assesment? There is a file ~alias/.qmail-mail:aaa:com-default. When in the file, the variables would be: $EXT: mail.aaa.com-default $EXT2: mail.aaa.com $EXT3: default Question 2) Let's say in control/virtualdomains I put: mail.aaa.com:alias-mail.aaa.com This will be delivered to the ~alias/.qmail-mail:aaa:com-default file (if it's the only matching file). But when I'm in that file, how do I know what username is being sent to? Could I put something like: mail.aaa.com:alias-mail.aaa.com-$USER in virtualdomains and thus catch it with $EXTs in the .qmail (and thus forward it to the right place)? Thank you all for your help, Ben

Re: Multiple user with vpopmail
You will likely need to have separate installations of vpopmail to accomplish this, and you may need to edit the source manually to allow this functionality. On the brighter side, you may not need to have different parent users since you are supposed to be able to set quotas on a per account basis in vpopmail. -K From: Sebastien VIEILLARD [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sun, 06 May 2001 12:26:27 +0200 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Multiple user with vpopmail I'am an isp and i want to use vpopmail for any site installed on server. The problem is that any site have one specific unix user. and of course, any user have a limited quota. But vpopmail create mailbox for only one unix user (vpopmail user by default). Is anybody know, what i can do to have each mailbox ~vpopmail/domains/domainename, under specific unix user. thx
problem with ezmlm
Hi, I know this might be a bit off-topic, and I apologize, but I don't know where else to turn to. I have a small mailing list, 260 members. I have sent out one email to the list with a attachment of 638kb. I have plenty of bandwidth, I also have 768MB Ram on the system, my qmail concurrencyremote was set to 255. Only the first 150 of list members received the email. I checked the logs, and it shows that qmail sent out only 150 emails. I got no errors, no nothing, and the remaining 110 members didn't receive anything... So my question is, what could it be? I am really lost here... So I am grabbing at straws, could it be that my databytes was set to 1 and 150 emails with 638kb attachment come out to ~97996800? I am running ezmlml-0.53+ezmlm-idx-0.40 and qmail1.03 Can anyone give me some pointers as to what it might be or where I should look for answers? Thanks! __ Kris.

You should look in the logs. You'll find there the reasons for the deferrals. (I know you said that there's nothing in the logs that indicates a problem, but if you sent mail to 260 recipients and it was delivered to only 150 of them, there will be something in the logs telling you why.)

Would $LOCAL in virtualdomains be the variable to use? You wouldn't use it in the virtualdomains file, but in the .qmail file. I tend not to use ~alias, but users/assign - but it is the same anyway... e.g. Say I receive mail for foobar.co.uk and want to map every username to the equivalent foobar.com address for delivery, e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED], etc cd /var/qmail echo foobar.co.uk:foobar-co-uk control/virtualdomains echo foobar.co.uk control/rcpthosts Put: +foobar-co-uk:popuser:888:888:/var/qmail/popboxes/foobar-co-uk::: into users/assign (remember this file should have a . on the last line and you have to run qmail-newu to create the cdb) Then in /var/qmail/popboxes/foobar-co-uk, create .qmail-default with: Each of these does the same thing: | if U=`echo $LOCAL@foobar.com | sed 's/foobar-co-uk-//'`; then forward $U; fi (this should all be on one line) Here $LOCAL is foobar-co-uk-user1, so we need sed to get rid of the virtual user. If you use alias, you'll probably have to remove something else. Or | forward $EXT2@foobar.com Or | if U=`echo $EXT2@foobar.com`; then forward $U; fi Hope this helps, Paul Gregg.

Re: problem with ezmlm
No. databytes applies only to incoming SMTP mail. That is what I thought too. You should look in the logs. You'll find there the reasons for the deferral= s. (I know you said that there's nothing in the logs that indicates a problem,= but if you sent mail to 260 recipients and it was delivered to only 150 of them, there will be something in the logs telling you why.) Chris I did check the logs. According to the logs, there were only 150 emails sent. There were no deferrals. It's like as if the list was made out of only 150 members. I have tripple checked and the list does in fact have 260 members. When it started the delivery of 150th email, this is what I had in my log, @40003af6a3f40f5aafdc status: local 1/10 remote 153/255, the three other deliveries were of just some other email sends. And then after this, no errors and no deferrals, just delivery success messages for the first 150 emails. Also, the 150emails that were sent are the first 150 emails from the 260... It's actually in order. I have dumped the list from the mailing list, and created another list with just the remaining 110, and sent out my email that way, which of course went out without a problem. Maillog shows just the first 150 emails sent out, also no errors. I also checked messages log and dmesg log, nothing in there either... __ Kris.

How to setup under qmail for an incoming message to be delivered tomultiple addresses?
Hello all!! I have the following situation: I´m using qmail for all incoming and outgoing messages in a internet domain - let´s say domain.com. I need to setup qmail to send a copy of every message sent by [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] automatically. I cannot be sure that [EMAIL PROTECTED] will copy [EMAIL PROTECTED] for every message he/she sent. Can Qmail handle such feature with no additional compilation? Do I need any additional package compatible with it? Regards.

But badmailfrom can block @domain.com, check the qmail-smtpd man page. By the way, if you have problems with @domain.com why not mail the address listed in whois for domain.com, [EMAIL PROTECTED], and file an abuse complaint. Or if the envelope sender is forged, track down the abuse desk by IP and pester them, perhaps giving [EMAIL PROTECTED] a heads up.
convert user
hi all recently i convert mail server into qmail. we used a new comp and instaled it. i'm trying to convert user from /etc/passwd from the old server (about 1500 user) into qmail user in the new server (including the password). is there any easy way to do this? rather than typing it one by one? any manual?
