Cannot find host with name... error
Dear friends: I'm newbie with qmail. Tried to install it last friday, but I got some errors after all the COMPLEX proccess. (I'm installing on a Mandrake 8.0 linux server). The first one is this: In the firsts steps of the config proccess, I had to launch the config-fast script wich is supposed to set up my hostname, in this way: ./config-fast comarcal2 (wich is my host name, obviously) Well, after all steps, and keeping the instructions about testing, I make a ps -aux, and I found properly the four daemons running: qmail-send qmail-lspawn ./Mailbox qmail-rspawn qmail-clean with the propers users. Then, I try to send to myself an message: echo to: myname | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject and then I go to watch the syslog file to see the result and I found the next error: delivery 8: failure: Sorry,_I_couldn't_find_any_host_named_comarcal2.comarcal2._(#5.1.2) How can this be happening if put so fine the name of my host in the script above?? Some suggestion?? Thanks in advance!! Alfonso García _ Descargue GRATUITAMENTE MSN Explorer en http://explorer.msn.es/intl.asp
checkpassword and IMAP
Hi, I'm running both IMAP and POP servers. Both are using the same authvchpw authentication module by IMAP. I run pop as: /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup FQDN \ /home/mail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 21 | /var/qmail/bin/splogger pop3d I run imap as: /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R 0 imap /usr/local/courier/bin/imapd 21 However, I'm always having problems making vpopmail and courier-imap work together. (Compiling courier-imap with --with-authvchpw always give me problems), thus I want to use checkpassword for IMAP authentication. This means that I want to install IMAP independent of vpopmail, and use checkpassword for authentication. What's the proper tcpserver syntax to do this? Or, can checkpassword work with authvchkpw? Regards, --mel.

overwrite locals
Hi everyone, I'm planning to use qmail in a ASP type setup. Therefore, I would like to overwrite the locals table with respect to the IP address of the SMTP client. With tcpserver it is possible to set environment variables depending on the client address. However, I did not find a way to set the locals through this mechanism. Now, I would like to know whether there exists a way to do that or whether it would be at least possible to patch qmail somwhow to do that. Thanks in advance, Peter __ Do You Yahoo!?

No, we did not have to. We're simply ignoring locals and virtualdomains
alltogether for the ldap lookup. We simply take the whole address and
do the lookup. An entry in either locals or virtualdomains is still
neccessary because of the check for a valid domain. Unless you run it
in mixed mode (ldap and normal) it doesn't matter whether you put the
domain into locals or virtualdomains.
Oh. So LDAP lookups are run out of a .qmail-default or similar? FWIW,
the original motive for the patch was to authentication using LDAP but
we wanted to avoid the double queue insertion of a .qmail-default as
it was a high-volume site. By writing an LDAP aware qmail-getpw and
apply the patch we achieved that.
No, qmail-ldap is not doing .qmail-default. Instead it sort of replaces
the users file. The ldap lookup code is integrated into qmail(-spawn)
itself. Also checkpassword is adjusted for this. It can either interpret
the password field itself or do a connect to the ldap server with the
specified user name and password. Then the ldap server is checking the
password.
Of course that was prior to the existence of either qmail-ldap or
maildrop which presumably could be combined to achieve almost the same
results - assuming single-uid delivery is acceptable.
You can specify the UID/GID for every user in the ldap object.

No. You need to forget aboy some qmail stuff when using qmail-ldap. We just
have user accounts and assigned mail addresses. VEry straightforward. A
simple (simplyfied) user entry looks like
dn: cn=brahe, ou=intern, dc=bsws, dc=de
cn: brahe
userPassword: {crypt}censored
uid: brahe
mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
mailAlternateAddress: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
mailAlternateAddress: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
and so on.
Basically, in qmail-lspawn a search using the filter
(|(mail=address)(mailalternateaddress=address))
is done, where address is the full rcpt address.
For auth'ing the uid and userPassword attributes count. There is no need in
qmail-ldap to distinguisch between local part and domain part in an address,
and there is no relation between email addresses and uids except that they
belong to an user account.

Re: Hot to add POP3 users to qmail? (newbie)
yes, you for sure are right this questions are answered in a FAQ or lWQ i guess ;) qmail serves all unix users on your local system as .. umm local users even :) They have to have a home dir and a Maildir (depending on your setup using LWQ) as regular unix have, thats how it works. But, not just for the comfort, i recommend you using vpopmail (www.inter7.com/vpopmail), because it supports so called virtual domains. And also the main domain can be a virtual. Whats the most advantage part of it, also on small systems? IMHO its because, regular users do have its own UID and GID (user id group id), virtual users (using vpopmail) only takes one UID/GID to manage them all. Another advantage, there are good tools to administer them all with your webbrowser. Just have a try at www.inter7.com/qmailadim.

Hi Charles, Can SASL be made to work with PAM, and does your OS support PAM?

You will not have lost any mail that comes via qmail-smtpd. Whether these attempted deliveries were deferred or sent to your secondary MX is a decision that the sending end makes. Probably a mixture of both. One issue that this sort of problem brings up is that very few scripts/local programs properly check the results of an email submission via qmail-inject (or the sendmail wrapper). So, if you had scripts or cronjobs that submitted mail during that time, that mail may have never made it to the queue. Regards.

off topic
Hi It's a little bit off topic, but does anywhere know which ports to open on my firewall so that qmail works correctly. At the moment I've opend dns,smtp and pop3 but when i activate the firewall some messages can't be delivered (wasn't able to establish an smtp connection), but when i try to telnet to the specified rcpt-server everything works really fine. So what happend here ? (if i open the firewall for everything, then the messages are leaving the queue) Pichler Wolfgang Dialog Austria Software Telekommunikation Ges.m.b.H.

In need of opinion.
Hi, First of all i'd like to thank the people who helped me with my qmail set-up lately. Your input was greatly appreciated. Thanks! Now, if possible. I'd like to get some opinions/pointers on a project I'm working on. I've just finished setting-up qmail/ucspi/daemontools/qmail-pop3d on a server. The set-up has been done this way so far: apache, php4, qmail, emumail, mysql. The goal is to achieve a webbased email system made of virtual user(not local users)whose username and passwords reside in a mysql table. There is already a user authentication scheme(php4/mysql) on the server(for webpage display) since it's a private server. I've been looking at qmail-mysql patch http://iain.cx/unix/qmail/mysql.php Any pros and cons for this? Also I know Emumail supports embedded perl and I've installed the perl-mysql rpm. Also should I switch to an imap server? Any ideas, opinions on this? Thanks in advance.

It hosts mail services for several customers (customer-a.tld, customer-b.tld, customer-c.tld). The part which is really confusing is this: you said I want the server only accept those domains for local delivery that belong to the IP address they came in from. I don't understand. Does this mean you want qmail to only accept mail for cutomer-a.tld if the connection originates from the IP address of the proxy (What kind of proxy?) for customer-a? What if mail comes from somewhere on the internet addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED]? That mail bounces? Then, you say Mail to other domains, even if they are hosted on the same server, should be relayed to an public mailserver and would then be treated as any other incoming mail from the internet.

$HOME/Maildir
Hi,
It's my first instalation of QMAIL and I am having one trouble to setup the
POP3 users.
First: I have a Red Hat 7.0 running in a Pentium II computer, and I
instaled
QMAIL using RPM binnary:
qmail-1.03-17
I instaled the checkpassword using the Tar file from the DJB home page, and
then I started QMAIL and POP3 thought XINET.
For that, I configured the pop3 file in the /etc/xinet.d/pop3 :
service pop3
{
socket_type = stream
protocol= tcp
wait= no
user= root
server = /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup
server_args = inteliweb.com.br /bin/checkpassword
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d /home/inteliweb
log_type= FILE /var/log/xinetd.log
log_on_success = HOST
log_on_failure = HOST RECORD
}
And using VMAILMGR (loged as inteliweb) I added the user test password
test,
creating the /home/inteliweb/users/test/ ...tree (cur, new, tmp).
I wrote the /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts to:
localhost
inteliweb.com.br
And in the virtualdomains:
inteliweb.com.br:inteliweb
Where inteliweb was an user created to this domain.
Follow the instructions in the Life with qmail I added the ./Mailbox to the
/var/qmail/control/defaultdelivery, and tried to assign the user inteliweb
to /var/qmail/usres/assign without sucess receiving the error code:
qmail-pw2u: fatal: unable to find alias user.
With this trouble I manualy assigned writing to
the /var/qmail/users/assign:
=inteliweb:inteliweb:519:505:/home/inteliweb:::
+inteliweb-:inteliweb:519:505:/home/inteliweb:=::

Re: overwrite locals
... We need a _much_ better and clearer explanation. I still think you're trying to explain your proposed solution to a problem when you haven't yet explained what the actual problem is. Okay, let me try to start from the beginning. The normal way how mails are delivered to closed networks like VPNs is through a firewall which is acting as a relay. This relay forwards mails coming from the internet to a server inside the VPN or vice versa. FW A - VPN A with mailserver / the - FW B - VPN B with mailserver internet \ FW C - VPN C with mailserver The MX records in DNS point to the public firewall interface and so on ... nothing special. Now, what if customers B and C don't want to setup and manage their mailserver on their own. They might have mailboxes on a internet mail server (such as yahoo) but that means that all his mail traffic would be routed through the internet. Another opportunity would be to let a provider setup a private mailserver being part of the VPN. Instead of setting up a dedicated mail host for each VPN the provider finally wants to offer some kind of a virtual private mailserver. This means on host which behaves like many separate mailservers. FW A - VPN A with mailserver / the - FW B - VPN B - PX B - virtual private internet \ /mailserver FW C - VPN C - PX C This means e.g. that a mail send from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] should be delivered localy. If [EMAIL PROTECTED] sends a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] the mailserver should forward the mail through firewall FW B to the internet. And finally, if [EMAIL PROTECTED] send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] the mail should again be at first routed through FW B to the internet and then transfered through FW C to the private mailserver of VPN C (which is actually the same server as the private server of VPN B). I know this looks pretty confusing at first sight. However, the advantage is that one can make full use of the firewall functionallity of FW B and FW C (for virus scans etc.) This would not be possible if the server treats mail from one VPN to another as local.

If [EMAIL PROTECTED] sends a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] the mailserver should forward the mail through firewall FW B to the internet. Okay, this is a much clearer explanation. Everything you've said so far is easy to do with qmail, virtualdomains, and whatnot. And finally, if [EMAIL PROTECTED] send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] the mail should again be at first routed through FW B to the internet and then transfered through FW C to the private mailserver of VPN C (which is actually the same server as the private server of VPN B). This is the problem. I don't think there's an easy way to do this. You want several domains to be handled by qmail; the normal way to do this is to make them all virtualdomains. Often, you'll use a virtual domain manager package (such as vmailmgr) to provide POP/IMAP access to these virtual domains, along with management services. But when you send mail from one of these domains (i.e. it ends up injected into the local queue), to another virtual domain on the same box, qmail knows it also handles the second domain. It will then deliver directly to that domain. Making qmail deliver via SMTP to another machine is problematic -- the other machine turns around and sends it back, but now you want qmail to handle the domain locally, not handing it off to the firewall again. I know this looks pretty confusing at first sight. However, the advantage is that one can make full use of the firewall functionallity of FW B and FW C (for virus scans etc.) This would not be possible if the server treats mail from one VPN to another as local. I really don't think it can be done -- at least not easily. Your description involves sometimes treating a domain as local, and sometimes treating it as remote -- but there's no way for qmail to distinguish between the two.

This is the problem. I don't think there's an easy way to do this. You are missing the obvious solution: use two qmail instances on this box. The first one is used for receiving all mails from external and has the domains in locals/virtualhosts and locals. The second one only has its own hostname in locals and rcpthosts and is _only_ used to relay messages from own clients/customers/whatever to the world. The world could include the secoand qmail instance on this box. I'm doing similar things, though for totally different reasons: I seperate customer relaying and MX. Different queues, different settings (databytes for example; SMTP AUTH offering and so on), and a hacked qmail-ldap cluster support to prevent in-cluster deliveries inside one box (but delivering directly to the maildirs instead). -- * Henning Brauer, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.bsws.de * * Roedingsmarkt 14, 20459 Hamburg, Germany * Unix is very simple, but it takes a genius to understand the simplicity.

Quick question
I'm fairly new to qmail. I was a sendmail fan forever till I got bored and decided to switch to qmail. So far I love it. I started readin the lifewithmail homepage and decided to try it out. I've got everything installed and running but 1 thing puzzles me, I know it's probably a goofy question and please no harsh comments ;) but why so many process running as root? Here's my process list. I understand all of it except the first 5 process all running as root. I know this is probably some easy thing but I'm the paranoid type and it makes me curious.

Re: why does Hotmail put Qmail emails to Junk Mail?
Sorry - I forwarded one I sent to my Hushmail account, because Hotmail doesn't let you see the full and complete headers. So - YES - email sent to my hotmail account had the exact address in the To: header. It wasn't CC:'d or anything - it was a unique email sent. So . . . maybe Hotmail is doing some kinda reverse lookup? (though my Qmail-SMTP box has its own reversed domain IP... fully legit.) I thought maybe it was something else in the headers - because when I use that Qmail SMTP server with Eudora things go through fine. Again - I'll put the headers below if anyone might have any insight? Does anyone know why Hotmail would put any of my Qmail-sent emails into the Junk Mail folder automatically? How do they determine what's junk mail? Or - rather - how do I prove to them this is not junk mail? To my knowledge, their only criteria is whether the recipient address appears in the To: or cc: headers. If it doesn't (mailing list mail, bcc'd mail), it's junk mail. To : [EMAIL PROTECTED] From : [EMAIL PROTECTED] The hotmail address doesn't appear in the To: header -- ergo, it's junk mail. Here are my Qmail headers (when sent to hushmail - which can show you full headers.) --- Return-Path : [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-Sieve : cmu-sieve 2.0 Return-Path : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Received : from smtp1.hushmail.com (smtp1.hushmail.com [64.40.111.31]) by imap1.hushmail.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2BB615F02C7 for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Mon, 13 Aug 2001 11:27:41 -0700 (PDT) Received : from mail.hitmedia.com (unknown [65.169.21.164]) by smtp1.hushmail.com (Postfix) with SMTP id 8D9881378B for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Mon, 13 Aug 2001 11:24:36 -0700 (PDT) Received : (qmail 17552 invoked from network); 13 Aug 2001 18:25:50 - Received : from unknown (HELO qmail.hitmedia.com) (65.169.21.163) by 65.169.21.164 with SMTP; 13 Aug 2001 18:25:50 - To : [EMAIL PROTECTED] From : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject : Testing this little mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-Id : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date : Mon, 13 Aug 2001 11:24:36 -0700 (PDT) [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Hey - how are you?

qmail + Courrier-IMAP vs just Courrier-IMAP server (newbie)
My original plan was to install qmail - VMailMgr - Courrier-IMAP. But after a little reading I find out that Courrier-IMAP has it own email server implementation. So it seems that qmail is not needed? Am I right? If so what are the advantages/disadvantages to either using qmail with the Courrier-IMAP engine or just using Courrier as the mail and IMAP server?

I understand all of it except the first 5 qmail uses many more processes than sendmail, which is one monolithic programm, running as root. If you look at your ps aux a little more exactly, you will see that only supervise processes and qmail-lspawn run as root. supervise processes do nothing more than just guard a service, and restart them if they die. have a look at supervise.c in the daemontools directory. qmail-lspawn does just invoke qmail-local's with the respective UID/GID of the receiver. this is, why this programm need's root right. You see, there are more processes, because qmail is more modular, and splitted into different processes, for more security. -- Lukas Beeler[EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG Fingerprint: 8030 1C2F 66C5 9D80 AA31 6604 7D4D 0A67 68D8 B67E

Re: why does Hotmail put Qmail emails to Junk Mail?
Return-Path : [EMAIL PROTECTED] From : [EMAIL PROTECTED] This _may_ be the reason. That was it! It was the headers. They need to have an X-Sender, X-Mailer, RFC 822 formatted date, and Return-Path, or Hotmail puts it in the Junk Mail folder automatically. Thanks Henning everyone who helped.
