Re: patch combination: qmtp + outgoingip
Just FYI in case anyone was losing sleep over not being able to use the QMTP patch and the outgoing IP patche to qmail-remote.c at the same time. Well, and also to prevent my previous post from being an archive orphan. It turns out that the additional qmail_remote.c code for QMTP totally confuses the outgoingip patch, and even if the patch wasn't confused, it would have missed out on patching the additional call to the new flavor of timeoutconn(). With too few arguments passed in both cases, no wonder qmail_remote was choking. Case closed.

Re: procmail and spambouncer
Charles Cazabon([EMAIL PROTECTED])@2001.05.18 13:04:03 +: I don't know anything about spambouncer, but purely based on the name, I'd say it's useless. I've seen some systems which generate late bounces to suspicious mail to try to get your name removed from spammers' lists, but the basic idea is flawed because spammers universally use forged envelope sender addresses and therefore never see the bounces. even worse with spambouncer which appears to create mails from templates and sends them to other adresses like contacts of the providers and so on. i doubt that this can be done effectively with a set of scripts without annoying overworked admins all over the world... *sigh* seems like we all will get another wave of spam complaining about spam like it was when netmedic came out and complained about high latency or not enough bandwidth at some providers technical mail accounts. and that just because some web server out there in the net served it's objects with 6kbit/s and the backbone companies got the annoy-me-mail here's an excerpt from the web page http://www.spambouncer.org/: --- The SpamBouncer is a set of procmail recipes, or instructions, which search the headers and text of your incoming email to see if it meets one or more of the following conditions: - Originates from an email address known to belong to a spammer. - Originates from known spam source sites, domains or hosts -- internet sites which exist solely or primarily to spam or provide services to spammers. - Originates from irresponsible, or rogue, Internet Service Providers (ISPs), who permit spamming from their sites and fail to take appropriate action against spammers. - Was sent using a bulk email program whose only or primary purpose is to send large quantities of junk email. - Contains headers which match the filter's profile of definite or probable spam. - Contains body text strings which match the filter's profile of probable spam. The SpamBouncer sorts suspected spam into two categories -- mail from known spam sources which is definitely spam, and other mail which is probably spam, but might also be legitimate. It then tags this email with appropriate headers giving the spam classification, and responds according to the parameters you have set. Depending on how you set it up, it will: - Simply tag the suspected spam and return it to your main incoming mailbox, allowing you to set up Eudora, Pegasus Mail, or another POP mail program to retrieve and sort your mail. - Tag the suspected spam, delete spam from known spam sources, and file suspected spam in a separate folder. - Send a simulated MAILER-DAEMON daemon bounce to known spammers in hopes that they will think your email address is invalid and remove you from their spam lists. - Complain to the upstream providers of known spammers or spam sites/domains, asking that they disconnect the internet service of the spammers. - Notify senders of email tagged as probable spam that their email was intercepted, and give them a password to resend their email and bypass spam filtering if their email was legitimate.

isoqlog and multilog not playing nice
I have qmail,qpop3d, and courier-imap humming along just fine. I added isoqlog which, when run manually works fine, but I can not get it to log on it's own. I've search all 38 messages (wow!) on the yahoo isoqlog message board, and tho others are having the same problem, no solutions. The problem centers around the /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-send/log/run file. (Yes, I used the 'Live With Qmail' doc to set everything up. The isoqlog doc says to remove the 's250 ' portion of the command and put in !isoqlogappend instead. So the file reads (all on one line): #!/bin/sh exec /usr/local/bin/setuidgid qmaill /usr/local/bin/multilog t !isoqlogappend /var/log/qmail/send I can see the command running in ps auxw so I know the restart took affect. But nothing happens. The /var/log/qmail/isoqlog file is supposed to fill up (I think) with info. But after each nights cron job that rotates the log file, it just sits there at zero bytes. The doc says to manully run the tai64nlocal command to create the first isoqlog file, which works fine. Then I manully run the cron jobs and the web pages get created beautifully.

Re: isoqlog and multilog not playing nice
Hi... I had similar problems. In isoqlog it is mentioned to remove any s12345 stuff from /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-send/log/run which looks like nonsense to me. in fact, multilog ALWAYS uses a s switch. only that it uses default values of about 100kbyte if you supply it with another size. so, rotating the log on a daily basis, you would either have to use the patch for multilog which rotates the logfile, whenever it receives a HUP, or your logfile is not truely rotated daily. by applying a small s value however, you can come near to a daily rotation... please notice, that isoqlogappend is only run when the current log is rotated. so if you don't notice anything happening it might just be, because your current file is smaller than 100kbyte. well, another possibility would be not to use multilog..

restart qmail?
ok, i figured out what i was doing wrong with ezmlm [edit qmail-conf, duh] ezmlm has been successfully installed. i created an email list all nice and happy. sent a test message to it, and it's just sitting in qmail's mess folder. do i need to do some kind of HUP or something to get qmail to see the new list/manager/something? -- =--= -.c.- My mistress when she walks treads on the ground.

injecting qmail-queue
Before I go into detail about the problem I'm having, I'll describe
what I'm trying to do, to make sure that I'm even on the right track.
We host a number of lists running under ezmlm-idx. I want to send an
announcement out to all of the lists every month. I first tried to do
this with a list of lists, but ezmlm doesn't care for that approach,
because the list name doesn't wind up in the To: or Cc: headers.
I'd rather not have things depend on the announcement process user
being a subscriber or in DIR/allow, which I think precludes the use of
qmail-inject. So, I'm attempting to do it with qmail-queue.
I created my message file, message.txt, and my envelope file
envelope.txt. AFAIK, they're in the correct format.
Looking back through the list, I saw Peter Green's example from a few
months ago, and came up with this:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
$|++;
my $mailprog = '/var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue';
my $message = './list_monthly_announcement.txt';
my $envelope = './list_monthly_announcement_recipients.txt';
open MSG,$message or die Failed to open message file $!;
open ENV,$envelope or die Failed to open envelope $!;
open \*STDIN, MSG;
open \*STDOUT, ENV;
my $rc = exec( $mailprog );
if ($rc) {
die $rc something happened;
}
This does nothing useful (nothing in the log, no message sent),
although I'm at a loss to explain why. I saw references to calling a
pipe() to do this properly, but I can't find an example. Does one
exist?
thanks,
Todd
qmail-pop3d and /var/spool/mail or NO /HOME/$USER
My goal is: Install qmail to work with virtual users. (i.e. No account in /etc/passwd. No /home/user. Mail delivered to /var/spool/mail.) I have downloaded and installed qmail, tcpserver, qmailadmin, etc.. Everything looks good and runs except qmail-pop3d does not work with virtual users. When trying to retrieve mail I get the message No /HOME/$USER directory... Please recommend a POP3 server that will work with qmail and allow mail to be retrieved from /var/spool/mail. Many thanks in advance. Charles Olds
The best way to setup...
Someone with experience please advise. We want to change a mailserver from sendmail to qmail. -There will be a few hunderd virtual domains (all with the same IP) on that machine. -Some users must be able to control email-adresses for one or more domains: handled over http with PHP (I'll write the engine myself) -use of IMAP. -use of Majordomo -In the future we want to use LDAP for authentication (not for now) I've installed qmail and it works fine, but now I have some dissicions to make: Authentication: - 1 single-UID with seperate passwd-file - 2 MySQL -authentication - 3 just make real accounts? (with bin/false) Note here: there's a sendmail-server running and all existing users are login in with just username (they all have unique names) Maildir / Mailbox (I think, it will be Maildir) How will I use wildcards/aliases? I've seen /users/assign /etc/aliases and de .qmail-default -file. Which one to use? I'll hope I'm not the first that will do such a thing... Thx in advance. Pascal
Re: qmail-pop3d and /var/spool/mail or NO /HOME/$USER
I can certainly understand not using /etc/passwd but Why not maildirs?? I would really recommend vpopmail or vwhatever the name of that package I can't seem to remember right now ? qmail-pop3d only is used for Maildirs (not the virtual user problem) other poppers are availible, check the qmail page. - Original Message - From: Charles Olds [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, May 20, 2001 8:44 AM Subject: qmail-pop3d and /var/spool/mail or NO /HOME/$USER My goal is: Install qmail to work with virtual users.
