Empty Mail From: command
Hi, what is the syntax of badmailfrom to block senders that issue empty MAIL FROM: commands? I've tried @ or empty line but didn't worked... I have read past in the mailing list that there is a problem with bouncing messages in blocking mails with empty senders... but i haven't understand why... Can anybody give me an answer?

Use vdelivermail (part of vpopmail at http://www.inter7.com/qmail) or

So the mail exchanger is:

but the email not arrived :o(
i maybe must configurate something on qmail
about dns ?
i try (thanks Barry Hill :o)) to put
inmagine.net:phoenix.marcheonline.net
in /var/qmail/control/smtproutes
You may even use nslookup.
i don't have this tool ! i have a slack 7.0
i must install nslookup to make qmail work ?
i don't think...

Re: Qmail can't varify user
Hi, You were already advised to read the docs. That's a standardtext. Qmails qmail-smtpd has no idea about local users. That's right. A programm itself is not so intelligent to find what the user mean, but for that are the configfiles. I'm sure you can define the delivery for localdomains / -host in a file under /var/qmail/control. The mailaccounts will be handle in a databasefile of qmail. For translating the /etc/passwd into the plaintext-userfile there is mentioned the command in the lwq. You should edit the plaintextfile if not all unixuser should have a qmail-mailaccount. Regards, Ruprecht

RE: OT: where are you from
what does .to stand for, as in [EMAIL PROTECTED]? The island of Tonga. This could be a redundant reminder to many, but a few years back, Tonga realized that the four-or-so computers on their entire island did not really warrant a great need for domains. Hence, their governtment decided to start selling the somewhat attractive .to domain. I vaguely remember a follow up story in which they were able to pay off millions of dollars of debt to other countries from the proceeds of such sales. So, while a foo.to domain /could/ actually be from Tonga, chances are it belongs to some clever americans (go.to, iwant.to, etc). --joshua.

Can't stop open relay
I've managed compile and setup Qmail along with courier thanks to the fabulous docs and howto's on it.. but I'm running into a fairly serious problem here.. some background I run a Debian box behind a DSL router on a NAT setup which works as a local mail server for my office.. some are allowed acsess to send outer office email and some are restricted to inner office only the problem it's seems no matter what I put in /etc/tcp.smtp anyone can relay mail off my server it will not deny anyone I've taken everything out besides the localhost address and recompiled with tcprules 127.0.0.1:allow,RELAYCLIENT= :allow compile it.. restart qmail.. and it's still an open relay.. people from any network can bounce email off me.. the only way I can stop it is to add my domain to /var/qmail/rcpthosts which will then bounce any email not sent to my domain. I also start qmail with this line /usr/bin/tcpserver -- \ -u `id -u qmaild` -R -g `id -g nobody` -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb 0 smtp \ /usr/sbin/qmail-smtpd 21 | $logger -t qmail -p mail.notice the only thing I added here was the -R to shut off ident service (thanks to the million people on this mailing list to answer that for me :) thanks to anyone with some insite on this..

Re: OT: where are you from
djb uses cr.yp.to only because it looks good and is easy to remember, however. He's not (AFAIK :) related to anybody in Tonga. .to domains are not controlled by NSI, which some of us perceive as being a big benefit. I also like their no spamming policy. The only thing I don't like, is that I can't set the ttl's down for their glue records. I have had to make some IP address changes where I lost the old IP address at the same time I got the new one and requests to the old IP address were potentially going to happen for a day after the switch. I sent them a comment about having them change their change form to allow a particular time for an update to occur and to use tinydns's time to die feature to make the transition smooth, but I never heard back from them. This is something that home DSL users are likely to want and they may not have a lot of them.

#5.1.1
Hi, I'll try, as you guess, setting up qmail. The archives and the man pages et al doesn't work out... The problem I'm facing is that I can't sent mails to local users. The permissions and the link from /var/spool/mail are correct (no group and world permission). Sometimes Dave wrote: What that message means is that the local recipient is not a valid address. That can happen if the recipient: - is not a user NO - has the UID 0 NO - doesn't own their home directory NO - has a home directory that isn't visible to user qmailp NO - has a username containing uppercase characters NO - has a username longer than 32 characters NO - isn't handled by an alias or catch-all .qmail file in ~alias If I put user tom-qmail file in alias I get an This_message_is_looping:_it_already_has_my_Delivered-To_line._(#5.4.6)] If I remove that alias I get the following in /var/log/qmail/current snip @40003aab87ae2bab487c status: exiting @40003aab87b31f767b44 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20 @40003aab8ce2342a54fc new msg 224638 @40003aab8ce2342a9b4c info msg 224638: bytes 204 from [EMAIL PROTECTED] qp 16101 uid 0 @40003aab8ce2373ef79c starting delivery 1: msg 224638 to local [EMAIL PROTECTED] @40003aab8ce2373f45bc status: local 1/10 remote 0/20 @40003aab8ce23ab75d4c delivery 1: failure: Sorry,_no_mailbox_here_by_that_name._(#5.1.1)/ @40003aab8ce23afb347c status: local 0/10 remote 0/20 @40003aab8ce23b94d884 bounce msg 224638 qp 16104 @40003aab8ce23b97265c end msg 224638 @40003aab8ce303d233ec new msg 224641 snip Thanks for any help Tom

Re: Can't stop open relay
How did you follow docs without having your domain in rcpthosts? It -should- be there. I worded that incorrectly.. it was in there.. The fact that it wasn't there caused your open relay behavior. AFTER you add your domain to rcpthosts, add your networks back into /etc/tcp.smtp with the RELAYCLIENT envrionment variable set. can you explain this.. the docs state that by default qmail will not relay to anyone not in /etc/tcp.smtp but it does.. all I have is my localhost line in /etc/tcp.smtp.. now if I try to send from another network the mail server should respond with this server does not allow relaying to this host or something similar.. it doesn't, it just relays.. now that I do have my domain into rcpthosts it is the only way it will stop the open relay behavior because the server responds with domain not in my rcpthosts which is fine because I can bypass this with adding people to my tcp.smtp file this is how it's supposed to work? This is -definitely- in the docs. sorry I did read the docs and just needed something cleared up thanks for the reply John Kuhn

how to test for a qmail virtualdomain?
Does anyone know of a reliable way to programatically test whether an incoming message is part of a qmail virtualdomain or not? I've been looking at qmail-send's environment variables under both a regular setup and a virtualdomain, and can't find a surefire way to differentiate the two cases. Take a look at qmail-command(8) under ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES to see what I'm talking about. I need a method that works under vmailmgr, vpopmail, and qmail's builtin virtualdomains support. For example, under vpopmail, the 'USER' environment variable is set to the virtualdomain instead of the username, so this is easily tested for (if username != $USER, ...). However, this isn't the case under vmailmgr or virtualdomains. Thanks. -- (TMDA - http://tmda.sourceforge.net/) (A qmail-based SPAM reduction system)

Re: how to test for a qmail virtualdomain?
I would say the most reliable way would be to just parse /var/qmail/virtualdomains and compare the LHS with $HOST (although this is a problem while somebody has updated virtualdomains but haven't sent -HUP to qmail-send yet). Do you just need to test for these three packages or does it need to handle all types (for example, maildrop has its own virtual users mechanism)? How reliable does it need to be?

Relaying advice
Hi! I need to provide users with the ability to send mail to anywhere. But since that can make my server an open relay, i was thinking of a solution where a user must receive mail before sending, thus proving that he can use the server for relaying. At this moment, qmail only accepts mail for domains listed on rcpthosts. I need some advice on how can this be implemented. If there is a better solution, also let me know. If this is well documented somewhere, let me know. TIA
rpcthost and morercpthost thresholds
I manage a backup mail spooling server (secondary MX) for around 6800 domains. Until recently, I've been putting all the domains in morercpthosts and then running qmail-newmrh to hash it in to the morercpthosts.cdb...logic being that parsing a cdb is more efficient that a 6800 line text file. This has been working great for the last several months. Last night, I began noticing that Qmail was ignoring (some) entries in morercpthosts.cdb and was returning the message about being listed as best MX preference but the domain not being local. Using strings, I confirmed that the domain having the error was in the cdb, as well as the plain text morercpthosts. Neither re-running qmail-newmrh, nor restarting qmail had any effect in correcting this. I eventually had to just drop all 6800+ domains into the rcpthost file. Things worked fine after that. Is there a limit to how much can be put into morercpthosts? Is it a limit of qmail-newmrh? Am I going to reach a limit to how many hosts I can put into rcpthosts as well? Any advice or assistance would be appreciated. -CT

(It's spam-like because it says you wrote to us about on , but unlike spam, they really did write and I have the saved messages to prove it.) Rather than dumping them all into qmail-inject or qmail-queue which would cause constipation unless I install the big-todo patch which is a pain, I was thinking of calling qmail-remote directly, then qmail-queue if qmail-remote didn't work, with a bunch of remotes going at once. The addresses come out of a database and the customization is trivial, so I was planning to write it in perl. (The main bottleneck is the network delays for qmail-remote.) But before I do, has someone already written this?

Since you're serving your mail out of Maildirs in the user's home directories, finding the number of messages and total bytes in new/old mail is trivial: oldmessages=`ls $USER/Maildir/old/ | wc -l` newmessages=`ls $USER/Maildir/new/ | wc -l` newmailbytes=`du -sb $USER/Maildir/new/ | cut -f 1` Then print this as you do your current logging information.

Re: how to test for a qmail virtualdomain?
Jason R. Mastaler [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Does anyone know of a reliable way to programatically test whether an incoming message is part of a qmail virtualdomain or not? I think you'll have to parse control/virtualdomains.

With a virtualdomains entry like: virtual.domain:de5-virtual A message sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] is very similar to a message sent to de5-foo@localhost.

Re: Qmail + Mailman
* Karsten W. Rohrbach (Wed, May 16, 2001 at 05:55:23PM +0200) why bother using mailman? try ezmlm, it works for a lot of real high volume mailing lists ;-) ezmlm is, in my opinion, the way to go if you want to have as little to do with your lists and lists users as possible after you've set up your lists. I really like VERP, it saves me lots of time needed to othervise trying to track down the address users are subscribed as. (or does mailman have some real features compared to exmlm-idx?) For some, the web interface of mailman would be the reason for installing it. If you happen to like web interfaces (many users do), you would have to look long to find something as good as the mailman web interface. I've tried both, and qmail has no problem at all with either of these mailing list managers. -- SSM - Stig Sandbeck Mathisen Trust the Computer, the Computer is your Friend

But before I do, has someone already written this? I recently did one of these - it was more designed for mass customized mailings and used a pool of sender servers and a distributed queue - we're talking millions and millions of email per day here... It's a complex system and I haven't the code, but I have some experiences that I can share. I used IO::select to handle running multiple qmail-remotes at the same time. qmail-remote has a really small footprint so you can run 1000s of them concurrently on a modest sized server. It takes a fair amount of code to manage multiplexed pipes in conjunction with handling stdout and stderr (execution errors) responses and exit conditions. (I see that there is an IO::Poll in which case I'd probably use that in preference to IO::Select because of some of the select limit issues on some OSes). The next thing you have to worry about is managing your own queue and retries for delivery failures. This can be much simpler and faster than a full qmail-send type queue of course, such as a single flat file for the whole delivery run with an occassional sync. Bounces of course you'll handle with some sort of VERP address. Having said all that, are you talking less than, say, 10,000 mails? If so, one simple strategy is to inject each mail at the rate of say 1 per second. At that rate 1000 mails are injected in about 16 minutes, ten thousand in a little less than 3 hours. That sort of injection rate should not require bigtodo patches so if you don't mind your delivery script running for 3 hours, then that might be the easiest strategy. Regards.
Re: how to test for a qmail virtualdomain?
Tim [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I would say the most reliable way would be to just parse /var/qmail/virtualdomains and compare the LHS with $HOST (although this is a problem while somebody has updated virtualdomains but haven't sent -HUP to qmail-send yet). In this case, how about comparing $HOST with control/locals? Someone suggested this in a private message since when qmail rewrites a virtualdomain address into a local one, it changes $USER, but not $HOST. If $HOST is in locals, then it's not a virtualdomain address. Any exceptions to this? Do you just need to test for these three packages or does it need to handle all types (for example, maildrop has its own virtual users mechanism)? All types, I just wasn't aware of maildrop's virtual users mechanism. How reliable does it need to be? Wholly. If not, I'll just make the user set a configuration variable to tell the application to expect a virtualdomain. -- (TMDA - http://tmda.sourceforge.net/) (A qmail-based SPAM reduction system)

Re: qmail ignores my sorry ass...
You need to tell us a little more. Well, actually a lot more. How are you trying to send them? qmail-inject, smtp, qmail-queue? If you are running a command such as qmail-inject, what sort of exit code are you getting? Any error message? Do you mean 5600 emails or an email to 5600 addresses? If the latter, are you placing all the recipients on a command line, something like: /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject recipient1@dom1 recipient2@dom2 ... ? If so, have you perhaps exceeded the maximum length of the command line for your system? Are you perhaps exceeding the maximum number of command line arguments for your system? To check the exit status from the shell, go echo $? immediately after the command. The number is zero if all is well and other numbers indicate different types of errors. Regards.

Re: rpcthost and morercpthost thresholds
This server has NO virutal entries at all. There isn't even an /etc/qmail/control/virtualhosts file. It's sole purpose is to act as a backup mail server when the primary MX's for any of the 6800+ domains aren't working. Outside of the server's own hostname and localhost, there are no other entries in the /etc/qmail/control/local entries at all. The only qmail files that were ever modified on a regular basis before this problem were morercpthosts and morercpthosts.cdb. In my original email, I mentioned that I had restarted qmail (qmail-send) with no effect. The errors only stopped once I had migrated all the domains from morercpthosts/morercpthosts.cdb to rcpthosts (which took effect immediately with no need for restart). Even on the servers I maintain that DO have virtualhost entries, I've never had to HUP qmail-send to have the changes take effect unless vadddomain of vpopmail automatically sends a HUP. My original questions stand: Are there limits to the number of entries in morercpthosts/morercpthosts.cdb? I really don't have a problem with maintaining a completely flat-text rcpthosts, but a binary morercpthosts would be more efficient. According to the doco's I've read about rcpthosts and morercpthosts.cdb, morercpthosts.cdb is effectively appended to rcpthosts, but is read faster due to the hashing. In the case of my 6800+ domains, I would like to stick to the most efficient method, as this list is only getting bigger by the day. Do I need to HUP something after making changes to morercpthosts.cdb? I've never had to do that before. Changes always seemed to be immediate in the past. Any other insight would be greatly appreciated. -CT Chris Johnson writes: On Wed, May 16, 2001 at 11:24:44PM +, Christopher Tolley wrote: I wish it were that simple.

Re: rpcthost and morercpthost thresholds
Out of curiosity, I moved all those domains back to my morercpthosts, rehashed it (qmail-newmrh) and tried sending mail to the domains that weren't working before. Everything looked fine. I'm totally confused now. As I have no locals entries outside of default, and absolutely no virtuals, I don't see how any of that could have had any effect.

There isn't even an /etc/qmail/control/virtualhosts file. It's sole purpose is to act as a backup mail server when the primary MX's for any of the 6800+ domains aren't working. Outside of the server's own hostname and localhost, there are no other entries in the /etc/qmail/control/local entries at all. The only qmail files that were ever modified on a regular basis before this problem were morercpthosts and morercpthosts.cdb. In my original email, I mentioned that I had restarted qmail (qmail-send) with no effect. The errors only stopped once I had migrated all the domains from morercpthosts/morercpthosts.cdb to rcpthosts (which took effect immediately with no need for restart). Even on the servers I maintain that DO have virtualhost entries, I've never had to HUP qmail-send to have the changes take effect unless vadddomain of vpopmail automatically sends a HUP. My original questions stand: Are there limits to the number of entries in morercpthosts/morercpthosts.cdb? I really don't have a problem with maintaining a completely flat-text rcpthosts, but a binary morercpthosts would be more efficient. According to the doco's I've read about rcpthosts and morercpthosts.cdb, morercpthosts.cdb is effectively appended to rcpthosts, but is read faster due to the hashing. In the case of my 6800+ domains, I would like to stick to the most efficient method, as this list is only getting bigger by the day. Do I need to HUP something after making changes to morercpthosts.cdb? I've never had to do that before. Changes always seemed to be immediate in the past. Any other insight would be greatly appreciated. -CT Chris Johnson writes: On Wed, May 16, 2001 at 11:24:44PM +, Christopher Tolley wrote: I wish it were that simple.
