Hello Constantine, and another thing that i can do but dont know how is to somehow say to PHP that my mail program is QMAIL.Anybody knows how? sendmail_path = /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject this is what i use in my php.ini (usually located in /usr/local/lib) it works fine and you don't have to reconfigure anything.

Ok another problem
I'm starting again from 'life with qmail' (about 3rd time now) and whenever i put the line: SV:123456:respawn:env - PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin svscan /service /dev/null /dev/console 2/dev/console in the inittab, it comes up with the folling error on the screen over and over again Supervise: fatal: unable to start qmail-smtpd/run: file does not exist /var/qmail/rc: ./Mailbox: No such file or directory I then have to remove the line and kill -HUP 1 to stop the errors. There is a folder called /var/qmail/Mailbox so i dont know why its not finding it. Many thanks Paul

Manually manipulating serialmail queues
Hi all: I have a customer who is using serialmail to upload their mail through their dial-up connection to our mail server. They have two problems: 1) Sometimes the dialup line isn't fast enough, and mail piles up. They would like to manually move some messages so that serialmail sends them before others. How could I do this? I guess that touch-ing the files so that they have an earlier date would work, but it would be better if it was automated (messages from this and that user always get more priority). Also, there's the problem of what happens if serialmail is already running while they are doing this; would serialmail catch that change right away? (That is, after sending the current message, it would scan again the queue, find the message that has been touch-ed, and start with it inmediately). Would it do that, or does serialmail scan the queue only once (when it starts)? 2) Related to the above: sometimes there are messages that don't get sent; instead, they just sit in the queue while serialmail is happily processing other mails that arrived after them. I suppose that the cause might be that serialmail timed out while trying to send them and just skipped them... but those mails aren't usually *that* big, just regular 3K, 10K, etc., messages. Is there any other cause for this? How could I force serialmail to send them? Paulo Jan. DDnet.
Multiple recipients to single box on local machine
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I have a question which is rather important for me. I have a maillist running on one server (majordomo/sendmail) and a domain mailbox for domain.com on another server (qmail). There are three addresses from domain.com subscribed to the list (eg. [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED]). When someone posts an e-mail to the list, sendmail sends it to the qmail with all three recipients specified in one mail. What qmail does is that it delivers the mail to the domain mailbox three times. Of course I'd like to have it only once there. Is there any chance that local delivery will work as expected? I've read http://Web.InfoAve.Net/~dsill/lwq.html#multi-rcpt where it's explained how it's working over SMTP. Am I supposed to understand that local delivery works the same way. Strange. I think that local delivery process should recongize that it will be delivering the same mail to the same mailbox multiple times and thus avoid this. How to solve this? I suppose someone already fought this problem. PLEASE! Send replies not only to the list, but directly to my address too.

qmail, tdma, logging (long)
Hi, I have a few questions regarding qmail and tdma, the tdma archives seem down at the moment (no dns service for libertine.org?) What I'm trying to do: 1) receive an email for any user at a domain 2) run my own process, if certain conditions are met, it passes through ok 3) otherwise (majority) it hands off to tmda i've got above three working ok and then 4) if user successfully responds to tmda, i need to run my own process again So far, I do it like this: |/home/myprivacy/inbound |/usr/local/tmda/bin/tmda-filter |/home/myprivacy/outbound The inbound program simply hands off to tmda-filter, conditionally, by writing the entire email to STDOUT, is this the proper way to do it? I was opening a pipe to tmda-filter but I couldn't figure out a way to then make successful responses to tmda challenges fall through to my outbound program. When I started writing to stdout to effect the fall through to tmda, I started also getting way too much info in the qmail logs, like the entire email, the environment, etc, is there any way to control that (example at end of post) Last, how do I set up tmda to function for multiple users? i.e. I will have a multitude of users at foobar.ca, and I need the tmda tags to apply to their own users only. Sorry to ask so many questions here, and the tmda related ones too, its just that the tmda list seems out of commission at the moment. example log overkill: Jul 18 00:31:39 tex qmail: 995434299.982280+/_myPrivacy.ca/_/_/_---_Below_th is_line_is_a_copy_of_the_message./_/_Received:_(qmail_16706_invoked_from_netwo rk);_18_Jul_2001_04:29:07_-/_Received:_from_r2d2.easydns.com_([EMAIL PROTECTED] 40.242)/___by_tex.privateworld.com_with_SMTP;_18_Jul_2001_04:29:07_-/_Rece ived:_from_localhost_(markjr@localhost)/__by_r2d2.easydns.com_(8.11.3/8.11.0)_w ith_ESMTP_id_f6I4T4t29545/__for_[EMAIL PROTECTED];_Wed,_18_Jul_2001_00: 29:04_-0400/_Date:_Wed,_18_Jul_2001_00:29:03_-0400_(EDT)/_From:_Mark_Jeftovic_ [EMAIL PROTECTED]/_X-Sender:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/_To:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/E rror_report_too_long,_sorry./ Jul 18 00:31:39 tex qmail: 995434299.982280+_(CIRA)_and_participating_.CA_regist rars_to_pass_through_to_myPrivacy.ca/_email_addresses_unimpeded._/_/_All_othe r_email_must_go_through_an_additional_step_which_vastly_decreases/_the_odds_of_ your_email_being_an_Unsolicited_Commercial_Email_(UCE_or_SPAM)./_/_To_complete _this_process_of_getting_your_email_to_the_end_user_holding_this/_myPrivacy.ca_ address,_you_need_merely_reply_to_this_email_or_send_a_message/_to_the_followin g_address:/___/_mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] a/_/_which_will_expire_in_5_days_(Mon_Jul_23_04:29:13_2001_UTC)./___ ___/_Fo r_more_informatiom_about_myPrivacy.ca_or_to_create_an_account_their/_for_yourse lf,_visit_http://myPrivacy.ca/_/_Regards, -- mark jeftovic http://www.easydns.com http://mark.jeftovic.net

I believe mailman comes with a script to generate the necessary qmail

something like this should work

tdma help
Does anybody know the disposition of tdma right now or the location of some tdma mailing list archives that are not at libertine.org? ObQmailQuestion: what sets EXT3? It appears as though it is the third segment of a dot-qmail file. I've created a userid on my system, foobar, then created a line in virtual hosts a la test.foobar.com:foobar then in ~foobar I can get all email @test.foobar.com with .qmail-default, how do I then get EXT3 set in that case?

.qmail-default question...
Hey all... I'm curious. If you have a postmaster-type account called virtuals and all messages go there, then re-routed from there using .qmail files how would you do something like this: (in virtualdomains) isp1.net:virtuals-isp1 (in /home/virtuals) (.qmail-isp1-user1) user1 (.qmail-isp1-user2) user512 **(.qmail-isp1-default) ~/Maildir/ If the .qmail files don't define where a user should go, have qmail attempt to deliver to a system user with the same username. Possible? Thanks again... David Gartner

Re: multiple qmail-send
Please excuse my HTML side of the email. Won't happen again. I wasn't asking about qmail-remote or qmail-local. What I was asking is Could I EVER see more than 1 qmail-send process running on my system ?. If I'm not mistaken, it's the qmail-send process the one that adds bounce addresses to the bounce directory and it's there that I haven't seen any locking system. Plus qmail-send relies on the good old select method to poll its inputs so the flow is synchronous.

This looks like a test against a known sendmail vulnerability, it's not a generic SMTP problem. It appears that Nessus need to get much more specific in the description of their test results and perhaps much more general in their tests. It looks like they've combined the security problems of sendmail and NTMail and labelled it with the more general SMTP term. Nothing wrong with them having a test, but creating so many false alarms without explanatary comments is not so good. Furthermore, their test *could* notice the qmail banner and add a descriptive entry along the lines of: You appear to be running qmail, if so, this warning does not apply. I guess they'd get tired of adding that to the end of every message though : Regards.
