Re: Problem with received from
The Received: from header has by 0 instead of by starnie.harrison.org. Looking in qmail-smtpd.c, I can see where it gets assigned: what do you have in /var/qmail/control/me? that's one place to look.
Re: Problem with received from
Uh, looking back over my data, the tcpserver line has a 0 in the location the tcpserver --help says should be a hostname. Is this my problem? If so, I'd feel like a complete dumbass except for I just checked and its like that in the LWQ text. uh-oh: from http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp/tcpserver.html Data-gathering options: -l localname: Do not look up the local host name in DNS; use localname for the environment variable $TCPLOCALHOST. A common choice for localname is 0. looks like that's what you want to change. i'd try your test again, after removing -l 0 from your qmail-smtpd/run script. dan
Re: qmailr processes

Re: Unable_to_open_./Maildir:_is_a_directory._(#4.2.1)/
you're probably starting qmail with and argument that looks like this: qmail-start ./Maildir instead of this: qmail-start ./Maildir/ the trailing slash tells qmail that it should to a Maildir, and not a file. But when I try to send myself an email, it show line like this at my /var/log/qmail/current file : @40003b4528aa0eba06f4 starting delivery 4: msg 191485 to local [EMAIL PROTECTED] @40003b4528aa0eba7c24 status: local 1/10 remote 0/20 @40003b4528aa1125658c delivery 4: deferral: Unable_to_open_./Maildir:_is_a_directory._(#4.2.1)/ @40003b4528aa1125e674 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20
Re: Problem with VAR directory during install
I'm attempting to set up qmail on Mandrake 8.0. I do create the /var/qmail directory, but when qmail compiles nothing goes into this directory. Of course then when you run ./config it barfs because it can't find certain things in /var/qmail. Yes, I'm logged on as root. config does not fail because of anything in /var/qmail; it fails if it can't find your server's name in DNS. Use config-fast instead. Also, when running the IDS script, I can't see that any directories were created in the /var directory either. 1. IDS is not a script that's included with qmail. 2. if you did create a IDS script off of INSTALL.ids (a la LWQ), it doesn't create any directories anywhere. It adds user accounts and groups to your system. I've reloaded Mandrake 3 times from scratch and it's still doing the same thing. Also tried gcc instead of cc and it makes no difference. none of these things have anything to do with installing qmail. What am I doing wrong? you need to read and understand the various INSTALL. files included with your qmail distribution. BTW, the /var directory resides on a separate physical drive in the machine - a Linux RAID 1 (mirror), to be precise, so there are two drives in fact. The /var directory shows up nicely and is perfectly accessible. I can't imagine this would be creating the problem. It's not. You need to better understand the qmail install process. start by reading the documentation included with qmail, then visit lifewithqmail.org. Dan
Re: qmail-injecting a message with 50K Bcc:
Wrong. Ezmlm is what you need. It's a high speed mailing list manager, and with the qmail-verh patch you can have individual addressing. You can also take input from a text file of one address per line when subscribing the list members. does this hold true for one-time mailings? i'm sending a very dry email detailing the ownership change of a corportaion, so i can't forsee many responses (bounces are, of course, another story). the reason that i originally tried to do this with qmail-inject instead of elmlm was that i never saw a need to have list-like behavior (replies, postings,etc). that being tha case, is ezmlm still the best option? thanks- dan
reasearch: qmail-qfilter freebsd segfault
hi all- with some pointers from charles cazabon, i've stared to trace the occurance of qmail-qfilter segfaults on freebsd. here's what i've done: i set QMAILQUEUE to /var/qmail/bin/qmail-runfilters via tcpserver for all incoming mail: /etc/tcp.smtp: :allow,QMAILQUEUE=/var/qmail/bin/qmail-runfilters i'm tracing the execution of every instance of qmail-qfilter via the /var/qmail/bin/qmail-runfilters script: #!/bin/sh exec ktrace -i -f /tmp/ktrace.output`date +%H%M%S` \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-qfilter /var/qmail/qfilter/filters/deny-filetypes /var/qmail/qfilter/filters/deny-filetypes is taken directly from the samples director that comes with qmail-qfilter-1.4. here's a sample kdump of a trace file generated by a mail that causes qmail-qfilter to segfault: 58293 qmail-qfilter RET write 1024/0x400 58293 qmail-qfilter CALL read(0,0xbfbfec68,0x1000) 58293 qmail-qfilter GIO fd 0 read 0 bytes 58293 qmail-qfilter RET read 0 58293 qmail-qfilter CALL lseek(0x5,0,0,0,0) 58293 qmail-qfilter RET lseek 0 58293 qmail-qfilter CALL read(0x1,0xbfbfec68,0x1000) 58293 qmail-qfilter GIO fd 1 read 0 bytes 58293 qmail-qfilter RET read 0 58293 qmail-qfilter PSIG SIGSEGV SIG_DFL 58293 qmail-qfilter NAMI qmail-qfilter.core i't looks like the segfault occurs after qmail-qfilter has created the temp file to hold the message, when it's trying to read the message back. in an attempt to isolate anything in particular emails that would cause the problem, i uncommented the unlink() call in qmail-qfilter.c that makes the temp files vanish. i'm attaching two text files to this email: 1. the complete temp file created bu qmail-qfilter 2. the complete trace file generated by kdumping the ktrace file generated when qmail-qfilter segfaults. if anyone has any comments on any of this, or any ideas on why the read() syscall might cause the segfault, it'd be much appreciated. thanks- dan
Re: qmail ONLY selectively receiving mail from outside
what you want to do is allow all incoming connections (i.e. don't have your /etc/hosts.allow /etc/hosts.deny setup to drop all miscellaneous smtp connections) on port 25. if you only set RELAYCLIENT for the ip's you want, qmail will handle rejecing the emails. make sense?

Re: Re[2]: Oops,I guess Sendmail wasn't secure after all...
Why no one makes a package with all you need to download and install, here is a suggestion: - qmail - the tcpserver - something good for pop before smtp - vpopmail - good tools for blocking spam, blocking mails from open relays, and so on - and other additions from other people i do not know There should be one file to download and the makefile should do nearly everything neccessary. I should not spend days to understand the different modules as a newbie, it takes too much time. the author of qmail has specific rules for how qmail packages can be distributed. see http://cr.yp.to/qmail/dist.html basically, you can distribute so called var-qmail packages, but anything else seems to require the Dan Bernstein's approval.
Re: Relay for domains in rcpthosts
i think you're essentially referring to how to maintain a secondary MX. qmail will not attempt local delivery to any host that is in rcpthosts, but is not in locals/me. if you are running under tcpserver, make sure that you're not preventing any connections you want, and you should be fine.

recordio / logging problem
hi- i'm trying to record all incoming smtp sessions using recordio, but i'm stymied by the following: /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -R -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c 100 -u user -g group 0 smtp \ /usr/local/bin/rblsmtpd /usr/local/bin/recordio /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd \ | /var/qmail/bin/splogger smtpd 3 this sends all recordio output to the terminal, not through syslog. following a couple of examples on this list, i inserted 21 directly after qmail-smtpd, but that generates 'Ambiguous Ouptut Redirect'. This is probably just a stupid shell thing (i'm using csh on linux), but i don't understand it. thanks- dan
451 timeout
Hi all- I've been expereincing a lot of ugly errors lately: many copies of the smae emial arriving, some remte hosts can't email us at all (yes, MX records are ok). I've begun to watch everytihng that happens w/ recordio. In my log files, I'm beginning to see a distressing number of errors like the one listed below: a remote server connects, announces MAIL, RCPT TO, and DATA fine, then the connection is dropped and a '451 error' code is logged. In the example below, this happened only 22 seconds after the previous entry. This is pretty representative of what's happening. As I understand it, 451 is an internal error while processing a message, and the default timeout for smtp sessions (timeoutsmtpd) is 1200 seconds. Has anyone seen anything like this, and if so, could it be a configuration error of some sort? Or does it indicate either hardware or network failure?

Are you seeing this as SMTP level? We get duplicated messages frequently but it's always (as far as I can tell) a pop issue. It is always solved by deleting an improperly formatted multipart mime message, almost always from outlook. T
QMTP/mail distribution
hi all- i currently have a setup where one central mail server receives all mail for a primary domain, then redistributes it to subdomains (eg satellite offices) as necessary. this is currently done with fastforward and SMTP. i'd like to try out QMTP, and use this to forward mail from the central server out to the satellites. is there an easy way to cofigure the cenral server to know who it can/should speak QMTP with? it seems very straightforward to receive QMTP messages, but i'm not sure if there's a great way to decide when to send QMTP mail. thanks- dan
