Re: Double Bounce Help
So if Qmail accepts any msg to @mydomain.com. Isn't this defeating the object of anti spam prevention. It is for this point then why spamers try random mailbox names because they know Qmail server's will accept the msg. Yesterday I had over 2000 postmaster msg to invalid mailboxes, what a waste of bandwidth !! The net must clogged with spam crap if I alone got over 2000. Maybe my Qmail config files are wrong.

qmail troubleshooting
Title: qmail troubleshooting Hi, I'm having some issues with my qmail server. :) However, instead of dumping all my problems on this list, I think it would be more beneficial for me to do my own troubleshooting so I can learn the ins-and-outs of qmail. Are there any good web-pages or anything dedicated to common/not-so-common problems encountered with qmail, and ways to troubleshoot those problems? For those of you who are curious, my current problem is that my queue has come to a crashing halt. I had about 15000 messages in it, and I was doing some kernel tweaks and the big concurrency patch to make it push 500 messages at a time. It ate through the 15000 messages in about 45 seconds, but left me with about 370 messages in the queue. Ever so slowly those messages have trickled out over the past 16 hours, but it's only sent about another 150 messages, leaving about 220 remaining. Now, my suspicion is that these are deliveries that failed the first time and have been set to retry again at a later date. However, I can't find a way of confirming this, apart from the deferred statements in the log files. I assume the deferred statement is confirmation of what I suspect. What I'm wondering, is if there's a way to reset the deferred status of these messages and try sending them all out again? Or is there a way of monitoring the queue (other than qmail-qstat) ? I've tried installing qmailanalog, but once again, I'm having problems with Solaris 8. (qmailanalog simply complains it 'cannot execute'). So, a breakdown of what I'm looking for: 1) A website detailing different troubleshooting situations for qmail 2) A way to look at the status of the queue, other than qmail-qstat 3) A way to force all messages in the queue to send again immediately 4) A statistics monitoring program that will work on Solaris 8(sparc), or a way to make qmailanalog work on Sol8Sparc Thanks, Mark Douglas - Architecture Sympatico-Lycos Inc.

It's therefore impossible to maintain proper security on such a partition/filesystem. Even if they did, they also might not support BSD FFS sync semantics and might therefore be inappropriate for use as a queue disk. Just re-partition, re-install, or create a new ext2 partition.

Excuse me for repeat this question but I don't mind how to do this in qmail. I have one domain domain.com and two machines (AAA and BBB), AAA receives mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and depending on the user forward it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] in BBB. I try with: * With smtproutes all the mails at domain.com is forwarded to BBB. * With fastforward + Virtual Domains: I received a mail in AAA to domain.com, if the name is in the aliases file I change domain.com to a virtual domain in AAA (leaving the mail in AAA) , but how can I do a forward to BBB if that user is not in the aliases at AAA??? Thank You again. Sebastian Wain ps: Why I have to do this? I have and Exchange server running on NT serving thousands of email addresses and I have to migrate smoothly to Unix, since this is very critic the two systems must cooperate and share the same domain.
Allusers
Hello! In my university student's machines (using sendmail), there's a system alias called 'allusers'. Any e-mail sent to this address is forwarded to every local account on the machine. I'd like to know what's the best way to use something like this with qmail. TIA Rodrigo

RE: qmail troubleshooting
I am still a newbie and unable to find a lot of things I think my qmail should have. Some things I can find, but not where they should be. At any rate, when suggestions come up as quoted below, I try them out and often discover hidden elements. When I tried this one, `find /var/qmail/queue/remote -type f` ? the returned message was: /var/qmail/queue/remote/0/277955: Permission denied. I guess my question now is, what permission is higher than root? 2) A way to look at the status of the queue, other than qmail-qstat `find /var/qmail/queue/remote -type f` ?
RE: qmail is slow
Don't pass the deliveries off to relays. In doing so, you're taking one message with 45000 recipients and making it 45000 messages with one recipient. This brings up an interesting question. If I'm sending a message to 100k people, but I need a unique unsubscribe link at the end, can qmail be convinced that it's only one message, and 100k recipients? I.E. Dear reader- samesamsamesame samesame ... same. --Me My Company To remove yourself from this list, click here: http://www.foo.com/unsubscribe.cgi?e=joe:=user.com In this example everything is the same except the link, and the link is derived from the To: header.

Re: Same domain in two machines and forwarding messages between
I read the page, but I have mainly one question: * In my maillog the mail to the exchange is [EMAIL PROTECTED], not [EMAIL PROTECTED], in the example the mail is forwarded to @exchange.example.com and not to @example.com, I think I am searching to forward to the same domain. I think that technically the qmail must connect to exchange.example.com, but send a [EMAIL PROTECTED] in rcpt to:, something like smtproutes combined with alias. My wish is to do something like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED][10.1.1.10] where the user aaa is forwarded using the same domain but to another machine. Thank you again.

qmail receiving mail from outside OK - please validate
Thanks VERY much to those who responded to my call for help regarding qmail: "qmail ONLY selectively receiving mail from outside" I've modified the hosts.allow as follows. This, I think, should do what I wish -- allow relaying for our local Lan (204.48.149.x) users while, for all other users, allow receiving mail while preventing relaying. === Start /etc/hosts.allow excerpt = tcp-env : 204.48.149.: setenv RELAYCLIENT tcp-env : ALL === End /etc/hosts.allow excerpt= I would appreciate anyone confirming that I've now got it set up correctly for my needs (I have read all your tcpserver suggetions and may try this next).

Qmail-remote stopped up?
All, For the last several months, I've been having some severe problems with qmail-remote. I've rebuilt from fresh sources and updated my system (FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE) several times. Nothing seems to help. You can see what I'm seeing at http://home.psknet.com/troy/qmail-remote.txt. This is very annoying, the stuck processes just sit there for days until there's no more room to spawn more qmail-remote processes. If I don't keep up on it, the queue backs up and I end up getting customer complaints. Can anyone offer any guidance on this? TIA, -- Troy Settle Pulaski Networks 540.994.4254
