newbie question
I just installed qmail under RedHat 7.1 It passes all the internal tests, but I am not able to get anything from outside the local machine. I know I have not set something up properly, or failed to set something up, but I can't figure out what it is that is wrong. All I get when I try to email my machine at [EMAIL PROTECTED] is messages from the mail daemon where I send it from saying that it can't find the address and will keep trying. Now ihtruelsen.2y.net works with my apache server, and I am able to get access to my website which is on the same machine. Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

qmail + mailman
Hi! I'm doing some testing with qmail and mailman, and i stumbled into this problem: I have this list with 20 members.. 3 of them have mail accounts on the same machine where i run qmail and mailman. The other 17 are around the internet. Problem is: only the local 3 receive messages posted to the list. Checking logs reveals that qmail completely ignores the other 17. I see qmail happily sending just 3 messages, nothing more. I'm posting this here because i do not believe this is mailman related, i think it's something with my mail subsystem configuration. I think i should note that i'm using Bruce Guenter's relay-ctrl package too, just in case. Using other programs to send mail to external addresses works just fine (i.e. local pine, users with outlook, etc) What could be the problem here? Thanks in advance.

"domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5)"
My computer is behind a home firewall/DHCP server. under /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts is my DHCP address. I would like to send mail out with a FROM address of my free-mail address. Using Pine, when I try to send an email, I get the error message repeated in the subject line. qmail was installed via the ports collection on a FreeBSD 4.2-stable box. I've followed the directions in the FAQ regarding user masquerading, which was the closest thing I could find which compared to what I'm trying to do. What the FAQ said was add MAILHOST= and MAILUSER= to my enviroment. DONE. I added to my /var/qmail/control/locals and rcpthosts files, beneath my DHCP address, as suggested for recieving mail for another host. DONE. I changed the /var/qmail/control/defaultdomain to as per section 1.1 of the FAQ, just to see if it would help. After all these changes, I kill -HUP'd the qmail and inetd servers running. I hope I've included enough information, but I'd be happy to supply anything else relevant if necessary. If anyone could offer any help, I would much appreciate it. Thank you in advance.

checkpassword v2 for SMTP relay success story
Hello qmailers, I thought I should post this one the list if anyone is trying to use NT authentication to selectively allow relaying in qmail, and has had trouble. I can say I did! After giving up on the checkpassword based on squid's MSNTAuth (an old version) I moved on to checkpassword + PAM patch (applied to checkpassword 0.90) that worked - but I had too much trouble with Windbind from Samba-tng project to make it work. When a helpful someone on my local linux mailing list pointed out that the problem wasn't with PAM - it was with checkpassword - the problem was found. Checkpassword uses a getpwnam() call that has the same effect as pam_smb_auth without the nolocal option. I do not want to have accounts for all my NT users on the qmail server. I puzzled for days why checkpassword+pam wasn't doing auths unless there was a local account on the machine (except for accounts with "\" in them like winbind uses). Checkpassword that uses Msntauth available for download from the qmail page gave me some grief - so I took a diff from it against the MSNTAuth it was based on and applied it to the latest version of MsNTauth that comes with squid. I then had to comment out the parts of smbauth.c (checkpassword.c in normal checkpassword) that runs the doit function and sets up the environment (PWD HOME USER and so on). Note one should only do this if they are using checkpassword for mail relaying. Not setting up the environment would break qmail-pop3d I think. I hope this helps someone who searches the archives. Someone should upgrade the version of checkpassword on the qmail page to be based on the latest msntauth source and add a define to to use the getpwnam() function or set up the environment that depends on this function. I'll put my hand up to do this if nobody else will.

The problem wasn't with PAM all this time, it was the fact there was getpwnam() in the program I was using. If getpwnam() didn't work then it would exit. I got shitted with winbind is not working at all now that I broke it futher by removing the NT workstation account before adding it again in troubleshooting so I went back to where I was before I tried to use PAM. I removed getpwnam from the checkpassword replacement that is based on msntauth from squid. It didn't work so I did a extracted a patch from it against the version of msntauth it was based on. Using the patchfile I created I patched version 2.0 of msntauth that came with the latest squid. The after commenting out the subroutine that used getpwnam the bitch finally worked. YAY :-) I'll revisit samba-tng/winbindd in the future when my level of patience and frustration is restored :-) Luke McKee

Re: webmailer
Hi David, Hi All, I'll try. I have an hosting provider where I have my pop3 et al. At home it's easy to check my mails from their or even to pull it with fetchmail. But on the road I have to set up something like hotmail for "security" reasons. No I want to install an qmail frontent on this server which allows me to get rid of this pull to my hotmail account. I don't want (and even cant use) IMAP. All the webmailers I found were dependent on IMAP.. So my question is, if there is a webbased mailer with the functionality of, say, hotmail which I can install locally on the server of my hosting provider, where I've limited access on directories and no Imap. What I intend to do is to login with my normal pop account and check my mails via tcp/ip... Thanks Tom ;-)

If you want to change DATABYTES on a per-user basis using tcpserver's tcprules files, you're going to have to be able to map user IDs to IP addresses. There's no way around that.

Yes, providing you can guarantee that your 2MB users will get 192. addresses, and your 10MB users will get 193. addresses. Also note your numbers are wrong; you've put 20KB and 100KB limits on them, not 2MB and 10MB. > Should I migrade to fixed IP? Not necessarily.

That's a good strategy, though 193.168 are not good addresses to use as they are real, routable addresses. How about: 192.168.0-127.:allow,RELAYCLIENT="",DATABYTES="2" 192.168.128-255.:allow,RELAYCLIENT="",DATABYTES="10" Or somesuch? Regards.

Advanced masquerading
Hello, The thing is: there is a host called stargate.net.local doing IP masquerading for a LAN, which is known to the outside world as zone13.outside.net. I'd like to set up qmail on this host in such a way that: - all the mail sent from stargate to any other machine on the LAN will have all the sender's data similar to: Joe Blow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - all the mail sent from stargate to the Internet will have all that data similar to: Joe Blow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - all the main sent from the LAN to the Internet (and relayed by stargate, of course) will have it like: Joe Blow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, where Joe Blow and jblow should be replaced with the right name and login (they are the same for all LAN hosts, so no user masquerading is necessary). Furthermore there is no need for demasquerading - all the mail destined for stargate/zone11, no matter whether from the LAN or from the outside, should stay there. Can anyone help me with that? I've been trying to solve that myself, and failed - qmail lacks good documentation I'm afraid. I've also asked in numerous places places and noone was able to help me. I've started wondering if qmail is capable of handling such complicated transpations at all, and whether I shouldn't restart using sendmail after all... -- Marecki

limiting databytes per user
Hi there, Is there a way to limit the control/databytes file by username? I found some documentation about limiting by domainname but not for just a single username. I have some support users that full my queue with videos/games/etc; and also have users that use their mailboxes correctlly, for work. I want to limit the outgoing size of the stupid users to only 2MB and for other users to 10MB (mantain). Other question: Is there a way to limit the number of outgoing messages per day? Ex. User jack has only permission to send 10 messages a day, and user john has unlimited permission to send messages daily. I use vpopmail by default.

What you can do, if you must, for future cases, is make this domain virtual, delivering all into a single Maildir. Then use serialmail to send the contents of this Maildir to the appropriate MX whenever you decide is appropriate.

Changing it to lowercase is the least-work solution. However, you can override this behaviour if you want, and there are (sometimes) other good reasons to do so, particularly if you use NIS or automounted home directories. `man qmail-users` for details.

Hello All. I am trying to install the qmail but unfortunately i dont know whether or not is installed on my system or no.i read the Qmail-HOW-to at http://www.flounder.net/qmail/qmail-howto.html and i followed every step. I dont know as i said whether is installed or not.Can somebody tell me how is start/stop the qmail? Also is there a Gnome user interface to configure qmail? Sincerely _ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. Hi Constantine, Qmail is not for the faint of heart! The help on the web is ... well ... "scattered" is the most sympathetic way to put it. I recommmend buying a book. The book I found is "Running qmail" by Richard Blum. See: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0672319454/qid%3D991020593/002-159088 7-7183201 As far as whether it is installed, you would need to see if you have executables in /var/qmail/bin. But there is more to installation than that. As far as a script to get it started, Mr. Blum recommends a script something like the one below: #!/bin/sh #PATH=/var/qmail/bin #export PATH #Check that qmail is loaded. [ -f /var/qmail/bin/qmail-start ] || exit 0 case "$1" in start) echo -n "Starting qmail ..." /bin/csh -cf "/var/qmail/rc &" ;; stop) echo -n "Stopping qmail ..." /usr/bin/killall qmail-send ;; restart) $0 stop $0 start ;; *) echo -n "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}" exit 1 esac exit 0 #End of script. That script is traditionally placed in /etc/rc.d/init.d, and there are symbolic links elsewhere that get hit on system startup and shutdown.] Furthermore, I might add that the script above breaks the qmail recommendations, as it is not recommended to start it from a shell like that. However, for my pathetic little server which sits on a DSL line, the computer is much faster than the DSL line. I seriously doubt that anybody could attack the thing based on overwhelming xinetd or something like that. You want a book. "qmail" assumes you know quite a bit about Unix.
