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. YOu can add/del/ set their passwords etc etc.. hth Anton Pirnat Jean-Christian Imbeault wrote: I've gone throuhg lwq and have just finished installing qmail-pop3d and checkpassword for qmail. They seem to be working. However lwq is a little short on how to actually add POP3 user accounts. Can anyone point me to some documentation on how to add POP3 users? (If this is a FAQ or in lwq sorry for asking but I did look and couldn't find it). Also there aren't any local users, so I don't want to do anything like setting up a seperate $HOME/username directory for every user ... if avoidable. Thanks!

try to get these files first(you may find in vpopmail src) and include

Re: reboot
It is not the default init your system started up, depening from your distribution this maybe be a different one. Have a look at http://www.lifewithqmail.org and read the Life with Qmail doc there. You will get the needed ln -s´s and many other helpful information on how to start your qmail experience. hope this helps Anton Pirnat btw.. next time it would be helpful you also are telling us what kind of OS (... Linux?, ...BSD?) and Version you are working with. It is often important, because (in example) file paths are different sometimes. :) On Friday 11 May 2001 10:09, colette tostivint wrote: Hi Qmail doesn't run when i reboot my system.

strange behaviour at (some) virtual domains..
we are using a qmail, vpopmail server (default install, no locals only virtual domains and roaming users enabled) and some of our customers do have more than one domain. In this cases our last sysadmin made a symlink instead of using the virtualdomains control file. He just added the domain using vadddomain, then deleted the domain dir and made a ln -s .. This way it was working well. rcpthosts did contain some like.. -- domain1.tld domain2.tld -- and virtualdomains did contain.. -- domain1.tld:domain1.tld domain2.tld:domain2.tld --- Now i wanted to remove this links and add the domains in my virtualdomains file instead, but it only works for some of the domains!!! so i did remove the ln and did change the virtualdomaisn file it now shows some like.. -- domain1.tld:domain1.tld domain2.tld:domain1.tld --- This is made for umm..4-5 main domains, and in near all cases it works. Even not in all of them!!! In two cases it does not work, and i have no clue why it doesn´t work! I also did check our NS, and a lookup works well for all domains. I all cases it point to the main domain IP. However qmail wont accept mails and bounces them back.. ..a part of the failure message i get back.. --- Hi. This is the qmail-send program at mail.pop-stuttgart.net. I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent error; I've given up.

Re: qmail 1.04
sounds to be a great idea. First time i tried installing qmail i got confused

needed in a default install. Putting all (most needde parts) into a well
documented one would be a great thing.. imho :)

Why am I so adament that qmail-1.04 MUST be released? To reduce
support costs and help people more quickly. A potential customer sent
me the following question:
Is there any way or any command by which i can mannually push all
the mails to required destination which r there in the queue.
Of course it's a FAQ, but I would really *really* like to tell him
``Just do this: svc -a /service/qmail''. I can't do that, though,
because not everyone installs qmail that way. Instead, I have to tell
him "You have to send an alarm signal to qmail-send." And he has to
figure out how to do that on his system.

q: vacation message.. qmail-vacation..
hi there, anyone who tried out qmail-vacation script (Peter Samuel) together with vpopmail? As far i can see it wont use virtual domains as vpopmail is used to do... i got the mail.. but no vacation message, nor any failure in my logs (var/log/messages, var/log/mail). I tried several changes and also several .qmail-user files.. current one contains a.. --".qmail-u_name"-- | /usr/local/bin/vacation -j username /var/qmail/vpopmail/domains/domain/ and i´d also put a ".vacation.msg " into /var/qmail/vpopmail/domains/domain/u_name and .. (just to make sure its not my old brain) /var/qmail/vpopmail/domains/d_name/u_name/Maildir/ At the vacation makefile i´d set up qmail mailbox file at .. $$home/Maildir (i guess its one of the probs i have..). I assume i only have to change less at the vacation perl script, but dunno where to serach for and what to put in, i guess i am getting older. Maybe there is a list with all valid qmail ENV variables that helps? I can.. cook homemade noodles and jelly (not together), repair cars and build computers, build up networks, support our customers and lots others.. but have less scripting perl knowledge (yet, but i am hardly working on...)

Q: ETRN + Qmail
Hi there, someone of our customers was asking for ETRN support but i haven´ t seen anything about it on qmail docs nor other sources. It seems there are different views about ETRN and its possible dis-/advantages. As most/lots providers are paid by a time based fee so maybe they have no reason so save time to their customer. However, the main pro for ETRN would be for dial-up connections that host its own mail servers on their side. I only found a (seems to be) outdated website for »ETRN for qmail 0.1f, 1998« but nothing else. Anyone who can tell me more or hint me some more URLs/Sources about ETRN and/or ETRN and qmail? Or there are some reasons not to use ETRN? Any hints are welcome! Regards Anton Pirnat -- this mesage is shareware, please register! Geesh.. am i under 10 typos per line now?
