Re: Go on developing qmail!!!!

Sending mail to another machine
Hello, 1- I'm using Qmail following LWQ of Dave Sill with a Relay in DMZ + Server in LAN. I want now to tell Relay machine to send mails of certains users to any machine lying anwhere (in DMZ, LAN or Internet), instead to sending them always to my LAN-server. How I can do this? Is this needs to install Qmail, create new user's account on machines? 2- Sendmail demon was installed by default on all my machines, it allowing me before to send mails for root or user ( logs, alert, etc...). I deinstallating it, but as a result mail can't be sent now. What to do in order to allow machines in DMZ or LAN where Qmail is not installed to just sent messages like alert, logs, etc. to root account or any other user? I'm heared about a qmail-client, or a particular installation of sendmail which allow us to do this. Can you give helps, url, ...? Is maintaining sendmail demon on my machines can compromise security? PS: I lincked sendmail to qmail as indicated in LWQ on both my relay and server. Thanks

What to do in order to allow machines in DMZ or LAN where Qmail is not installed to just sent messages like alert, logs, etc. to root account or any other user? On the DMZ i prefere to install qmail because of security. On the hosts in the dmz there should be disabled all services that are not needed. Think about good rules for the firewall. In ipchains you have three chains the input chain, the forward chain and the outputchain. You can build rules such good-bad, dmz-bad, dmz-good,...

badrcptto
Ok, so I got the badrcptto patch working. It doesn't look like it will do partial addresses. You know how badmailfrom will let you just put in @domain.com. I was hoping that this patch might let you put in user@ and reject all mail for that user regardless of domain. I don't really follow the C code well, so I don't see how to do this. Any ideas?

Re: injecting qmail-queue (asking again)
* Todd Finney [EMAIL PROTECTED] [010522 01:09]: I thought about that, but it isn't really an ezmlm question anymore. There doesn't seem to be an example on using qmail-queue anywhere. It seems to me that there probably should be. Fair enough. So make ezmlm-reject omit that behavior. `man ezmlm-reject` And give up the spam protection that this provides? No thanks :). There are ways of emulating this sort of spam protection with ezmlm-issubn; a couple have been mentioned on the ezmlm list. Check the archives at [http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=ezmlm]. Eek, why not invoke ezmlm-send for each list? `man ezmlm-send` No need to mess with qmail-queue, I don't think. Yea, that sounds nice, but there isn't an example of using that outside of a .qmail file, either. I'd think that tfinney]$ cat ./list_monthly_announcement.txt | /usr/local/bin/ezmlm/ezmlm-send /home/list/test/ would work, but no dice. That is indeed the syntax. I'm still pretty convinced that this is the best way to do this; you might want to look into why that doesn't work, regardless of any other solution. I created my message file, message.txt, and my envelope file envelope.txt. AFAIK, they're in the correct format. [...] I tried three different formats. I believe the first is correct, but I saw a few mentioning of the other two, and tried them. I saw no difference in running the script with any of them.

Like: open \*STDIN, MSG; open \*STDOUT, ENV; Any luck with this? Anyway, it seems to be a lot of overkill. Just iterate over your lists and invoke ezmlm-send for each one. Done. Thanks, I'll look into that, but I think a little more explicit documentation on qmail-queue would be helpful. John Levine just threw together a Perl module that invokes qmail-queue directly. See [http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=qmailm=99016757917465w=2]; it might be helpful.

Re: Timeout issues.
most probably it is the dns setup.
if you do not need to know the names of clients that are connecting,
tcpserver -RHl0 is probably what you want. this won't work out with
tcprules files that carry = for evaluating the $TCPREMOTEHOST variable.
you might check the docs to tcpserver and tcprules:

I have about 6 qmail servers up and running in different parts of
California. For the most part life has been pretty easy with them. I have 3
machines giving me a headache currently and was hoping for some help. (I
know 50% is a failing number)
#1) A local machine running RH Linux and qmail 1.03. It had been running
great for the last 9 months. I recently had an IP change on the machine as I
switched DSL providers. I made sure all of the control files got changed and
the new tcp rules added. However, it appears to not want to pop mail with
out a long delay. My windows clients need to keep hitting wait. It
eventually works, but it is very frustrating, considering it worked fine
before the IP change. My guess is it relates to DNS. Am I on the right
track, or has anyone else seen this? Is there a way I can fix it without
long phone calls to my provider educating them on DNS and stuff :)
#2) Is rather similar. Was built in house (RH Linux and qmail 1.03)and then
sent out. Worked fine here, however in the clients location they get
constant timeouts on SMTP and need to keep hitting wait as well. I am using
the -R in the tcpserver startup so that it won't try to resolve the local
IPs, but it is still happening.
#3) Similar still. A large mail server I just built using Matt's BSD-qmail
toaster setup. In house worked fantastic. Bring it in the field for a small
ISP, and even trying to do a localhost port 25 connection is taking
sometimes 10 minutes!?!
All of these problems seem related and it is probably something really
simple that is driving me crazy. If anyone has input on what I'm doing wrong
I'd really appreciate it.

Re: R: R: leave a copy of messages on server
I think you may do it, but you must modify your pop3 server. It should memorize the downloaded messages numbers and then execute the opportune dele # at the end of session (or immediately after RETR command, when a new command is given and it may be sure that previous RETR has completed). Or... If I'm not wrong, all read messages are moved to ../Maildir/cur, so you could delete all messages in those ../Maildir/cur directories.

/var/qmail/alias/.qmail-default vs virtualdomains
Hi, I'd like to know if it's possible to edit the /var/qmail/alias/.qmail- default file, so instead of it having a username or email address to deliver messages for undefined users to, you have a defined path to a specific mailbox. ie: /home/bubba/Maildir/ The reason I ask is because we provide and internet fax service, and we recieve messages addressed to a-fax-number@domain.com Obviously I can setup a user account for every possible fax number, so we deliver anything undefined to 1 mailbox. THe problem is that in the default setup qmail changes the Delivered To: address to the user listed in the /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-default file. And if I use the virtualdomain feature it prepends the username defined for that domain to the Delivered To: field. Niether option is particularly useful, as we need to see the fax number unmodified. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

manymanymany splogger processes
Anyone have a guess why qmail is running thousands of copies of splogger? I just sent out a sizable mailing, so I expect the server to be busy and working hard, but seriously... thousands of copies of splogger? Is it /supposed/ to run a new instance for each outgoing message? --joshua.

RE: manymanymany splogger processes
Sorry about the long posting, but at least everythings in one place.
It seems to me that qmail-pop3d is not running correctly, thus explaining
the errors in /var/log/maillog, but is that also causing my splogger process
problem?
I just sent out a sizable mailing, so I expect the server to be busy and
working hard, but seriously... thousands of copies of splogger? Is it

No, not at all. You are obviously doing something wrong. Please
provide more detail:
- how are you starting qmail
With supervise. I've added several key files below for a more complete
reference.
- how are you sending out the mailing
It's a perl script that uses sendmail, but it is the qmail replacement for
sendmail.
- are the splogger processes visibly doing something towards syslog
Well, /var/log/maillog has tons of these error messages:

qmail-pop3d advice ( migrate to vpopmail ? )
Hi all, I have a server which has about 50.000 e-mail accounts. POP3 concurrency is set to 150 and timeout to 90 seconds. A couple of days ago, my users started to feel a huge delay in getting their messages via POP and sometimes, they even cannot connect. I checked the number of simultaneous number of connections and is not close to 150. Of course, concurrency increased a little bit ( around 100 ) in the past few days, but it didn't reach the limit yet. I think my machine is on its knees right now :((, but I cannot afford to have a better hardware at this moment. What can I do to improve performance ? ( I mean software performance... ). The migrating to vpopmail would help ? What about mysql to authenticate users ? Thanks Renato - Brazil P.S. I'm using qmail+vmailmgr, so I have thousands of passwd.cdb files...

Problems with SMTP connections
Hey, I'm pretty new to qmail, so I apologize in advance if my question is a but mundane. I have read all the INSTALL docs and the FAQ, so I hope I haven't overlooked anything. Here's the deal: Everything gets delivered locally just fine. Even remotely to certain domains. However, when sending messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED], my logs tell me that qmail could not establish an SMTP connection with those servers. I telnet to 25 on a given server, and sure enough, I can't get a connection. However, I know these domains are receiving. Should I be running a local DNS server? If so, I don't see why. Perhaps I'm just a gimp and I overlooked a config file. Any help is appreciated. Flames are welcome to my email address so as not to clog up the mailing list. Thanks again, -- Graham
