Re: Compile problems with compilation of daemontools-0.70 on RH 7.1
Are you compiling as non-root? If you're the root user, it won't compile. I had similar problems, but then I compiled in the home directory of a non-root user and it worked. - Original Message - From: "Ed Weinberg" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, May 21, 2001 1:23 PM Subject: Compile problems with compilation of daemontools-0.70 on RH 7.1 > I am havingompile problems compiling daemontools-0.70 on RH 7.1.

Re: assign file being overwritten regularly
i think i just figured it out. look what was in cron.hourly: #!/bin/sh set -e cd /var/qmail/users test -s assign -a -s cdb && \ qmail-pw2u assign && \ qmail-newu Hmm i guess it puts this in by default (or something did)... well, that's gone. i guess that would be a handy file to have in cron.hourly because if you didn't know any better, it'd create users for you automatically.

assign file being overwritten regularly
Does anyone know why the 'assign' file in /etc/qmail/users would continually be overwritten? I edit it and run qmail-newu and everything works great... then, at some point later, assign is re-written and the addresses don't work anymore. for example, i've got: =carl:carldan:600:100:/home/carldan::: which later gets written to =carldan:carldan:600:100:/home/carldan::: hmm... Thanks!

Re: Qmail and its parts.
oops. i chmod'd run and ran it. immediately it tried to process the queue. thanks. i hate it when it's something stupid, and, of course, my question went to the millions (haha) on this list. . now, i've just got to figure out why it's not "able to chdir to Maildir." hmm... thanks again. carl - Original Message - From: "Chris Johnson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Carl J.

Maybe when I'm done doing just that I'll look into it. See what it takes to do it, it'd be a very nice thing to have. I am just now converting to qmail, ucspi-tcp, and djbdns. Soon I'll do it, I'm hyped about the idea, it'd be cool if some people talked more about the idea, i.e. what would they want in it. --Carl--

how to implement quota with qmail+vpopmail+sqwebmail?
maildrop with qmail , vpopmail and sqwebmail
I encountered a difficulty in configuring maildrop with qmail and sqwebmail. I have a few virtual users whose maildir directories are /home/vpopmail/virtualdomains/virtualusers/Maildir.I put a line " qmail-start ' |preline /usr/local/bin/maildrop ' " in /var/qmail/rc file. And I put a line " |preline /usr/local/bin/maildrop" in /home/vpopmail/virtualdomains/virtualusers/.qmailbut, I found my mail couldn't be filtered. Then , I checked the maillog, found some lines like these: Nov 22 02:09:31 mail2 maildrop[8781]: Invalid home directory permissions - world.writtableNov 22 02:09:31 mail2 qmail: 974830171.022626 delivery 368: deferral: /usr/loca/bin/maildrop Would you like to tell me something about mail filter with qmail?

Bounce Message Surpression
Hi, We recently switched to qmail after 4 years of using sendmail. With sendmail, I only received a failure notice when a piece of email was in the queue for over 5 days. Now I get a message every time someone sends a message to nonexistent mailbox, every time a bounce bounces, etc. How can I turn this off? It's annoying. TIA!
Stop Delivery of Incoming Mail Temporarily
I'm having a problem with my NIS server dying now and then and all my user's are complaining of lost mail. qMail returns a "no mailbox here by that name" message. I would like to tell qMail to recieve but not deliver mail when the NIS server does down. I'm writing a program to do determine when that happens, but how do I tel qMail to stop delivery? Once the NIS server comes back up, I would like to tell qMail to deliver all recieved messages. Is this possible as well? -- -Carl Perry [EMAIL PROTECTED]
