hi all
 
recently i convert mail server into qmail. we used a new comp and

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?

smtp auth. question through vmailmgr

[Evgeni Dobrev]

Hi all,

I host a lot of virtual domains but the Outlook cannot send after receive.  I 
was looking for some way to chenge this setting in the outlook but until now 
no luck.

Is there a posibility to enable smtp authentication through the vmailmgr?

I have installed the version of qmail-smtpd.c with authorization but this 
doesnt work for virtual users.

Any help will be appreciated.

Hi Evgeni,

not with the standard setup. The problem is that vmailmgr stores the
user-database in different home-directories, so you must have
root-access to read them.
Martin Gerardi offered the following solution on the vmailmgr list: 
use Eric M. Johnston's smtp-auth patch and set checkvpw suid-root.
I have now idea how secure this is, even Bruce did not make any
promises.
Any comments if this is good or bad are highly appreciated.

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 are forwarded 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 problem could occure with auth service so i fixed it to !!

I am using in my smtpd run script the rbl  lists as a wrapper like in dan bernstein howto .

 

So what could be the problem why the mail takes so long to be sent out ???

I would really appriciate the help and if more info is needed please let me know .

Regards ,

Nissim .

Take mine for example...

#!/bin/sh

cd ~/lists
for dir in `find . -maxdepth 2 -type d -name cur`; do
  archive=`echo $dir | sed 's/.*\/\(.*\)\/.*/\1/'`
  echo $archive
  for file in `find $dir -ctime +14`; do
mv $file ~/archive/$archive/
  done;
done;

Hi,
 I have one account that has 248,881 messages in it's maildir/new
directory, and receives many messages every day. Don't ask me what the
account is for because IMHO it's useless, but I will say that nobody
reads it with an email client. The OS is Solaris 8, platform is Sun
Netra T105 (sparc), filesystem is UFS. I'm using Qmail-LDAP, which
shouldn't really perform any differently in this respect than the stock
Qmail, and there are no problems constantly delivering messages to this
account. 

 The thing you need to keep an eye on is your available inodes. I have a
36GB SCSI external disk mounted to /var/qmail/maildirs and this is how
it looks now. By the looks of things below, I'll run out of disk space
long before I run out of inodes.

$ df -i
FilesystemInodes   IUsed   IFree IUse% Mounted on

maildrop + vmailmgr: the saga continues

[peter green]

Okay, yesterday I erroneously reported that I had maildrop and vmailmgr
running together, when it was really maildrop and *vpopmail*.

Well, this morning I converted our mail domain from vpopmail to vmailmgr and
copied my maildrop config over, changing a few paths.

Works like a charm. So my previous, unsubstantiated report that maildrop
works just fine with vmailmgr is now substantiated. I'd highly recommend
using it instead of procmail, as it's far more intuitive and easy to
configure (IMO).

Sorry for the noise; followups set.

If you've got /usr/local/bin/supervise, you've probably got
daemontools. On Red Hat, you could check for an RPM:

supervise starts, monitors, and controls services. The qmail-send
service consists of qmail-send, of course, and the other long-running
qmail daemons started by qmail-start: qmail-clean, qmail-lspawn, and
qmail-rspawn.

sorry for not elaborating the setup. sure thing, i am talking about
symmetrix/connectrix setups, where the fs gets exported as nfs. other
setups are out of discussion because of concurrent access to the same
fs (and if gfs would be stable on *bsd systems, emc symmetrix would
not be an option anymore at all because of the hardware cost and tco).

yup. as i said, i mean symmetrix/connectrix setups

the symmetrix hardware is pretty stable, but we are talking about a
little more bloated raid systems, then, not network storage servers ;-)

if a traditional fcal/san solutions would be an option due to the
semantics of let's say gfs, i would not bother buying emc but rather ibm
sharks, them being more space for the same price.

at least in europe, emc tries to infiltrate businesses using netapp
solutions, actually buying out the used netapps and replacing them with
sym/con clusters.
don't know how to translate it but "emc zieht die butter nicht vom brot"
if you compare it to netapp f760 _and_ you use nfs.

do you have the list's subscribers in mysql/pgsql storage, and have you

It doesn't follow Maildir file naming conventions. Not even close...

Example file name from procmail:

_sjF,ED_96.alpha.lunds.lu.se

Should be like:

989326863.7043.alpha.lunds.lu.se

but the only thing i can see here is that the filename generation is
somewhat different. why should this cause mail to be lost as long as the
generated filenames are unique?

I finally got it working. Maybe it would have been easier to use maildrop (as
Peter Green reported that he got it working with vmailmgr), but I really don't
care, as long as I've got a working server-side filtering system.

Please feel free to comment. Could I have avoided creating

  installed
  
  [VUSER] = the name of the virtual mail user

  For example in my mail server configuration these would be:

  [VMAILDOMAIN_USER] = vdomain1
  
  [VUSER] = peter:peltonen

  
- I found out that if file /var/spool/mail/[VMAILDOMAIN_USER] didn't exist,
procmail
  wouldn't work. So check that it exists. If it doesn't, create it and give it
  proper ownership:
  
  root# touch /var/spool/mail/[VMAILDOMAIN_USER]
  
  root# chown [VMAILDOMAIN_USER]:mail /var/spool/mail/[VMAILDOMAIN_USER]
  
  First time procmail is used it gives the file proper permissions.
  
  
- Create the user's .procmailrc:

  root# su - [VMAILDOMAIN_USER] -c "touch
  /home/[VMAILDOMAIN_USER]/users/[VUSER]/.procmailrc"
  
  
- Make the filtering rules to that file. You can see my example .procmailrc at
the
  end of this document. Great advice can be also found at:
  
  http://www.ii.com/internet/robots/procmail/qs/#recipes
  
- Enable procmail-filtering by editing /home/[VMAILDOMAIN_USER]/.qmail-[VUSER]
file
  and replacing the line

  --snip--
  |/usr/bin/vdeliver
  --snip--

  to

  --snip--
  | preline /usr/bin/procmail /home/kotelo/users/peter/.procmailrc
  --snip--
  
  NOTE: If you don't have a /home/[VMAILDOMAIN_USER]/.qmail-[VUSER] file,
create it
  and put the procmail line in it.
  
  
- That's it!

That is not at all the problem. The problem is that the filenames it
create aren't guaranteed unique, but even worse, it doesn't even try
to prevent overwriting an equally-named file, which is the worst
problem.

Let's not.  Please use real, unadulterated host/domain/IP information.  It
makes our job easier in many cases.

This is most easily fixed in user1's MUA; any decent MUA will provide a simple
configuration for specifying an automatic cc: recipient.

If you _must_ do this in the MTA, follow Dan's instructions on setting
QUEUE_EXTRA (he suggests the value "Tlog\0").  Then have a script called from
~alias/.qmail-log which checks $SENDER, and if it is user1, forward a copy to
user2.  You may have to set NEWSENDER in the script, so that it doesn't cause
a loop.

You can find Dan's directions for this type of thing under "How do I keep a
copy of all mail..." or something like that, on his site at cr.yp.to.

That's the whole point -- djb's Maildir naming convention is designed to
prevent namespace collisions, regardless of how many machines are delivering
into the same Maildir simultaneously, or how many processes, or anything.  If
every program follows his rules, it all works.

procmail, for some reason, uses a totally different naming convention.
There's no good reason for it, and it could result in a namespace collision.
As soon as you get a collision, you've lost mail.

Why take chances?

Unless you take precautions to survive collisions. djb's code (and
safecat and possibly others) survive collisions. procmail doesn't.
*that* is the biggest problem.

Exactly. That's why I say: pipe to safecat from procmail.

Re: Patch on qmail-smtpd / vpopmail for rejecting unknown users

[Tonix]

Well, not be sorry, I'm learning...

I have to modify the patch for other reason also (new qpasswd struct, 
checking of bounce mail flag), so I'll change this error to 550 too.

I would like also to use this patch to reject senders using some 
recipient's filter files.
Is there any suggestion about a filtering scheme? Is there a standard already?

we need to complete forwarding. I have read the LWQ and they mention .qmail

assign file being overwritten regularly

[Carl J. Danowski]

Does anyone know why the 'assign' file in 
/etc/qmail/users would continually be overwritten?
 
I edit it and run qmail-newu and everything works 
great...
 
then, at some point later, assign is re-written and 
the addresses don't work anymore.
 
for example, i've got:
 
=carl:carldan:600:100:/home/carldan:::
 
which later gets written to
 
=carldan:carldan:600:100:/home/carldan:::
 
hmm...
 
Thanks!
 
 

Qmail + vpopmail + procmail

[Spookah .]

Im currently using Qmail + vpopmail and im trying to get my procmail filters 
working.  Right now, it appears procmail is somewhat functional.  If an 
e-mail matches my filter, the email is still sent to my Maildir, but _all_ i 
get from the message is:

Return-Path: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Here is my setup..

/var/qmail/rc :

#!/bin/sh
exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \
qmail-start '|dot-forward .forward
|preline procmail ./Maildir/' splogger qmail

/home/vpopmail/domains/my-domain.com/.qmail-default :

|preline /usr/bin/procmail -m 
/home/vpopmail/domains/my-domain.com/.procmail.rc |

That won't work.

What you need is a .qmail file with only a comment in it:

echo '#' > .qmail-whatever

Mail handled by this .qmail file will be bit-bucketed.

I heard something about bruceg's RPM rewriting that file from cron.

test -s assign -a -s cdb && \ 
qmail-pw2u assign && \
qmail-newu
 
Hmm i guess it puts this in by default (or something did)...
 
well, that's gone.  i guess that would be a handy file to have in

Hmm, who else has ``root'' access to your box?  If none, which cronjob 
did you write that overwrites it?  If none, which web utility did you 
write/install which overwrites it?  Basically, there is no qmail 
process that will do this---you or someone must be doing it.

strange problem with virtualdomain file

[lkhanna]

Dear sir,

I am facing a very starange problem,
I am using qmail 1.03 on red hat 6.2 and giving mailing solution to 18
different customers, whose Mx pointing is my server.

My all the domains are listed in virtualdomains file with some prepend, Like
ttk-lig.com is one of the entry and i m using prepend ttk for this. and for
maricoinidia.net its mil. So my
virtualdomains file for ttk-lig.com is

ttk-lig.com:ttk
maricoinidia.net:mil


And till yesterday every thing was working fine. But suddenly mail server
started giving problem for ttk-lig.com only. Mails for other domain is
workig fine.
For ttk-lig.com i m having pop accounts as well as i m doing just forwarding
also to their destination server for some users.
I am doing forwarding by making a default alias .qmail-ttk-default. and
entry in this file is like this...

|forward $[EMAIL PROTECTED]

and in smtproutes i m having below entry for  ttklig_ch_notes.ttk-lig.com
ttklig_ch_notes.ttk-lig.com:[192.168.100.1]

Now when ever i m sendng a  mail to any ttk guy whose mailbox is at remote
server ( just forwarding  should do ) , then mail is getting bounced back by
saying that no mailbox available. And mail is bouncing from my own
server..while if i m sending a mail to that user whose mailbox is at my
server then mail is going.
I feel its not reading the alias file...

But when i changed the prepend ttk to ttklig and i made a default alias
.qmail-ttklig-default and gave the below entry in it
|forward $[EMAIL PROTECTED] ( and smtproutes file is
also having the required entry. )

mails started goingnow its reading the alias file by just changing the
prepend word...


both .qmail-ttk-default and .qmail-ttklig-default file has same permition\

   4 -rw-rw-r--1 root root   46 May  7 17:29
.qmail-ttk-default

   4 -rw-rw-r--1 root root   46 May  7 19:47
.qmail-ttklig-default


Could you pl help me , why it happens,, why its not taking prepend word ttk.
Why its blocking word ttk, Is there any command so that i can make it
workable with ttk prepend only..
Is there any bug in qmail. My qmail version is qmail-1.03-8

Pl help me for this

Regards

Just for your information.

This list has been spammed by users several times in the past
few days.  One common characteristics of the spamming emails is that
they were all written in Chinese and their advertisements point to
various commercial  web sites seemed to be written in Chinese
 ( I never clicked on those sites though I understand Chinese very well ).

Problem Retrieving Mails with ETRN

[Loh Kok Jeng]

Hi all,

I'm using qmail 1.03 with qmail-etrn-0.1f patch.  I am able to issue
ETRN command to port 25 and get "250 ok" response from the server.
However, the server doesn't tranfer the emails to me even when there are

mails in the Maildir.  I have trace the program qmail-send and found the

it can't read the content of etrntrigger properly.  The portion of the
code is shown below:

1515:n=read(etrn_fd, buf, sizeof buf);
1516:if(n!=sizeof buf)
1517: return;

It always returns without transfering mails to the client.  By the way,
the file size of etrntrigger is correct, i.e. 264 bytes.

Any help would be very much appreciated.  Thanks.

Mail still undeliverable after qmail-getpw reports correctly.

[Foo Ji-Haw]

Hello all,
 
I'm trying to set up qmail+mysql on my freebsd 4.2, 
using the standard port.
Following the config recommended by Iain, I finally 
got my qmail-getpw to read the mailboxes from the mysql dbase correctly. What I 
cannot get going though, is that the mails always get bounced with the following 
error:
 
   - The following addresses had 
permanent fatal errors -[EMAIL PROTECTED]
 
   - Transcript of session follows 
-554 5.0.0 MX list for postboy.net. points back to 
markus.postkidxp.com554 5.3.5 [EMAIL PROTECTED]... Local configuration 
error

(SGT)
 
Final-Recipient: RFC822; [EMAIL PROTECTED]Action: 
failedStatus: 5.5.0
I thought the 'local config error' means that I did 
not configure my localhost file correctly, but even after I set my file to 
such:
 
[root@markus /var/qmail/control]$ cat 
localslocalhostmail.postboy.netpostboy.net
The same error is still reported.
 
Does anyone have an idea what else is missing in my 
config?

  getting qmail up...
  
  Hi all,
   
  Some background:
  -I'm trying to run qmail on my Freebsd 
  4.2.
  -I'm using qmail from the freebsd cd package. 
  
  -I read the FAQs, bought the Qmail book from 
  SAMS, and prepared the qmail daemons. They are up and running exactly as 
  depicted in the book.
  -I tried a simple test to send a local mail to 
  myself with the following command:
   
  cat test | 
  /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject
   
  The mail did not get processed. I found this in 
  the maillog:

  darn close to getting qmail up!!!

forwarding

[richard morris]

Hi All,

I am trying to implement forwarding utilising fastforward, it does work
however I cannot seem to have it forward to local users on the same box. my
aliases file is as follows

[EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED],
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

it forwards to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] but not to the
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ? Even if I change it as follows it still don't
work,

[EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED], user


Richard.
