Init scripts for smtp and pop3 services
Hi all !
I have a RedHat Linux box with qmail + vpopmail. The SMTP service is
started using tcpserver, and POP3 is started using inetd. I want to set up
both services to be started/stoped using tcpserver. Where can I find a good
script for doing this ?

Spamming control fails with badmailfrom file
Hi all ! I have a badmailfrom file for controling spammers, but it doesn't works as I expected. If someone sends mail with an empty mailfrom (MAIL FROM:), qmail is unable to check it against the badmailfrom database, even if the header of the mail contains a From: field. So I'm looking for one or several patches or add-ons for qmail that allows me: 1.- Reject all mail that contains a 'From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]' line in the first n lines of the mail. 2.- Reject all mail that contains an specific text in the subject (For example HAPPY99.EXE) 2.- Reject all mail that comes from an specific mail server. Where could I look for this add-ons ? Regards, Antonio Navarro Navarro BemarNet Management [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.bemarnet.es
Initial scripts for QMail (RedHat 6.1)
Hi all !
I have installed the following applications :
daemontools-0.53+patches-5
ucspi-tcp-0.84
MySQL-3.22.27-1
qmail-etrn-0.1f.diff
qmail-1.03.tar.gz
vpopmail-3.4.10
My initial script for launching qmail (/etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail) follows:
#!/bin/sh
#
# /etc/init.d/qmail : start or stop the qmail mail subsystem.

case "$1" in

The inetd.conf line for POP3 service follows :
pop-3stream tcp nowait root/var/qmail/bin/tcp-env tcp-env
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup server.bemarnet.es /var/qmail/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir
I have the following problems:
1.- A /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail stop didn't works fine, so after stopping the service I
must restartthe machine in order to start the service. I think that the problem is in
the fact that the POP3 service is launched from inetd. How can I change this in order
to start/stop both services (POP3 and SMTP) from tcpserver ?
2.- I want to remove the MySQL support for the QMail users using vpopmail (I want to
use vpopmail but with .db? files for the usernames/passwords), but I don't want to
lost the users or the mails in the queue. How can I do it ?
Best regards,

Last POP3 login date and time
Hi all ! How can I obtain the date and time of the last time a user checked his e-mail box ? (I use QMail + Vpopmail) Regards, Antonio Navarro Navarro BemarNet Management [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.bemarnet.es
files in /var/qmail/control
Hi all ! What is supposed to contain the /var/qmail/control/locals file ?. Mine contains two lines like this: server.bemarnet.es server.bemarnet.es The machine is called dns.bemarnet.es and is managing the mail for the bemarnet.es domain (and for several hundred domains with the same IP and the vpopmail package). I think in this file must be the real name of the machine (dns.bemarnet.es) or the default domain (bemarnet.es), am I right ? The other files contain the following: me - dns.bemarnet.es defaultdomain - bemarnet.es virtualdomains - other domains like this: domain.com:domain.com plusdomain - bemarnet.es (The 'me' file contains dns.bemarnet.es) If I change this file and only place 'bemarnet.es' (one or two times in different lines) the mails sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] dissapear !! The maillog file show that the file has been sent to the user, but there is nothing in the Maildir. Regards, Antonio Navarro Navarro BemarNet Management [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.bemarnet.es
Forwarding e-mail for specific users
Hi all ! I have configured a QMail server for an specific domain. I want the messages received to some of the e-mail addresses of this domain to be forwarded to a secondary mail server that has been configured for accepting mail for the same domain. Example: mail sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] received in smtp.domain.com must be redirected to the same username ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) using the server smtp2.domain.com. Question: What should I do with the qmail control files, dns, etc.. in order to make things work in this way ?

Adding relay for a domain (II)
Hi again ! I have solved the problem. After adding the domain to morercpthosts and executing /var/qmail/bin/qmail-newmrh I added the domain to smtproutes and now it works fine. Regards, Antonio Navarro Navarro BemarNet Management [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.bemarnet.es
ETRN command support
Hi All ! It seems that the ETRN command is not implemented in Qmail. How can I force the dequeing of messages for a domain ? Regards, Antonio Navarro Navarro BemarNet Management [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.bemarnet.es
Mail relaying with QMail
Hi all ! I have been testing the mail relay cgi from abuse.net (http://www.abuse.net/relay.html) and after entering the name of the Qmail server that I am testing, one of the tests fails with the following message: (..xx is the name of the server) 220 .xxx.xx ESMTP HELO www.abuse.net 250 .xxx.xx Relay test 1 RSET 250 flushed MAIL FROM:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 250 ok RCPT TO:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1) Relay test 2 RSET 250 flushed MAIL FROM:spamtest 250 ok RCPT TO:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1) Relay test 3 RSET 250 flushed MAIL FROM: 250 ok RCPT TO:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1) Relay test 4 RSET 250 flushed MAIL FROM:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 250 ok RCPT TO:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1) Relay test 5 RSET 250 flushed MAIL FROM:spamtest@[194.179.67.23] 250 ok RCPT TO:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1) Relay test 6 RSET 250 flushed MAIL FROM:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 250 ok RCPT TO:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1) Relay test 7 RSET 250 flushed MAIL FROM:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 250 ok RCPT TO:relaytest%abuse.net@[194.179.67.23] 553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1) Relay test 8 RSET 250 flushed MAIL FROM:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 250 ok RCPT TO:"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" 553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1) Relay test 9 RSET 250 flushed MAIL FROM:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 250 ok RCPT TO:"relaytest%abuse.net" 250 ok Relay test result Uh oh, host appeared to accept a message for relay.

QMail installation
Hi all ! I have installed a Linux machine with two 9 Gbytes SCSI disks with RedHat Linux 6.1. I want to install QMail as the mail serer in this machine, and I have a couple of questions. 1.- Is possible to maintain a database in MySQL, Oracle or similar with usernames/passwords and aliases ? I don't want to create a user account in the Linux machine for each e-mail user. 2.- Wich directories are involved with the mail processing ? I want to make several aprtitions in the hard disks and want to know where will be stored the queue files (I suppose that in /var/qmail) the mainboxes of the users (Maybe /home/user ?), and so on... 3.- From where could I download the latests rpm files for installing the QMail Server in RH 6.1 ? Wich files do I need ? Best regards, Antonio Navarro Navarro BemarNet Management [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.bemarnet.es
