Hi.

 1, How to setup qmail with ESMTP, each time a client wanna use
 smtp server,
  smtp server ask him pop3 userpass to check if right. and only allow mail
  from is that user's mail can be sent.

You can patch qmail with authentication for qmail-smtp, or instead you can
allow relay just after a pop3 authentication (using vpopmail function or an
external package, called realy-ctrl).

You can found them on qmail home page.

 2, Can I count how many mails one day the qmail processed?
 (received  send)
   Did this need another tools and where can I find them?

You can use the mrtg + qmail-mrtg. You can find more infos here
https://mail.socha.net/stats/ (and on qmail homepage, of course).

Why should anyone care? For most of us the machine qmail runs on differs
from the one the webserver runs on, so it's another IP anyways. Do
accounting based on qmail's logfiles.

 Is it physically possible to control the IP that qmail-remote uses to send
 from?

Well, you can patch qmail-remote of course. There's a patch floating around
to let qmail-remote bind to ONE specific IP. If you still insist on your
idea it may be possible to modify this one. But be warned: parsing the
sender's address, getting the domaina nd looking up a IP for it adds a lot
of cruft to the code. This _may_ result in security problems, bad
performance, instability and so on.

anyone using qmail-qfilter?

2001-06-03 Thread Jon Rust

I'm getting these in my syslog:

   .../kernel: pid 93400 (qmail-qfilter), uid 82: exited on signal 11

I was getting LOTS of them, and I thought it was related to my filter
attempting to reject messages with error code 31. Well my current filter
consists of:

   #!/usr/bin/perl
   while () {
  print;
   }
   exit (0);

And I'm still seeing them. Bruce Guenter appears to have stopped
development of qmail-qfilter (anything related to qmail?). Bummer, since
this looks like the only option for filtering, and BG wrote some handy
stuff.

I'm using FreeBSD 4.2-Stable. Any suggestions are welcome.

While those 10,000 spam messages are sitting in your queue (on
average, 434 per directory; a reasonable size for a directory on ufs

sendmail with a 10,000 message queue.  Or rather, don't, unless you

What about www.mail-abuse.org ?

2001-06-03 Thread daiyuwen

Hi, Dear All

Somebody are talking about www.orbs.org.
What about www.mail-abuse.org?  I think they're abusing their influence.  Many sites 
are using their blacklist.  So they should be very responsible for every IP address 
their list.  

For my instance, my server is on the RSS list because it WAS an open-relay server.  
Then I fixed the problem and sent a removal request.  But mail-abuse.org said I 
blocked their mail server (I didn't.  I don't know why).  Now they even refuse my 
removal request on the web.  According their order, I had to mail to 
[EMAIL PROTECTED], explaining why I blocked their server. But I just got an 
auto-relay that said I should submit removal request on the web.  Dead loop :-(

Any body kind enough to test if my server is third-party relay?  Its IP address is
202.96.230.197

qmail on SCO OpenServer

2001-06-03 Thread Jason Heskett



Hi 
there,

I am probably 
opening a long-running topic here, but here goes...
I have just 
successfully compiled qmail on SCO OpenServer. However, it seems that my outgoing mail 
queue is getting "stuck".

The log includes, 

Connected_to_..._but_connection_died._(#4.4.2)/
Running a "ps" shows 
qmail-remote sitting there, trying to deliver the queue.
Local deliveries 
work just fine.

I know similar 
messages have been posted to the list, and I apologise for the duplication, 
however I have spent the last two days pouring through the archives but unable 
to find the resolution (if there is one).

Before you say 
anything I can't move to Linux just yet...

Thanks for your 
time.

Kind 
regards
Jason

The fact that some IPs are not accepted for relaying does not mean
that all are. It may well be, for example, that the IP in question
relays mail from, say, all 202. addresses or all 202.96 addresses.

Of course this is not a qmail related issue unless the original poster
has a problem understanding relay protection with qmail and starts
with a posting of his tcpserver rules and his expectations of what
they do.

want to get a tcpdump/snoop of the tcp traffic.


 Local deliveries work just fine.
  
 I know similar messages have been posted to the list, and I apologise for
 the duplication,

You'll also note that SCO in general is not well loved/supported by
djbware. The problem seems to be that the tcp/ip stack sucks - to use
a technical term.

 Before you say anything I can't move to Linux just yet...

That still leaves any of the BSD variants then :

Re: do I need to log

 Hi 
 
 I'm wondering, do I really need to log anything. Is this must or is it extra for 
debugging purpose. I just feel that there would be much improvement with the sending 
mail if my cpu did not have to bother with logging every email that's leaving my 
mailer.  I mean I have millions of junk emails which none of them are important at 
all.
 
 I'm kinda of newbie but can someone confirm that It's okay to get rip of 
 qmail-smtpd/log/run

It's entirely up to you. I wish I was lucky enough to work on an email
system that has millions of junk emails and which required no
analysis or problem diagnosis or anything, ever! Just remember most
problems have to be looked back at which is only possible with some
sort of log.

Of course the fact that your system does have millions of junk
emails suggests that something is very wrong in the first instant -
something like being abused as an open-relay that a log might well
identify.. But as I say, it's your server.

There is the final point that you don't know what your logging really
costs. How much of a bother is it to your CPU? Have you measured it
or are you speculating? Is the bother greater than that or the
millions of junk emails that you might be able to eliminate?
