Strange problems...
Hello! I'm using QMAIL and UW-IMAP patched for mailbox format. There are complaints from our users that they're unable to delete some messages using IMAP. They mark message as "deleted" in their mail agent, and when they do "folder compact" it remains undeleted and unmarked as deleted. When I look into their homedir where mailbox file resides, there are some files with long names which looks like temporary files (with "$" in filenames). When I delete them, all the problems disappear until next such situation. Does anybody know what can be the source of this problem? Any suggestions about how to resolve the problem? -- ________ Regards, Dmitry Niqiforoff [tel. +7 8462 427427] Kraft-S, Ltd. Samara, Russia
Potential hole?
Hello! Yesterday I found that any user are able to start any program at server with .qmail file. This could be potentially dangerous, AFAIU. As an example: I denied TELNET access (disabled the service in inetd.conf), but any user can put "|in.telnetd" in their .qmail file (ofcourse, there should be not only in.telnetd to work correctly). Also, any user are able to get our /etc/passwd file. It is not dengerous because there is no passwords, but it is possible to a) find out where user homedir is, and b) get total list of the users which can be later used for, lets say, spamming. Your imagination is the only limit for this. Is there any suggestions about how to avoid all the potential problems? Regards, Dmitry Niqiforoff [tel. +7 8462 427427] Kraft-S, Ltd. Samara, Russia
.qmail-news doesn't work????
Hello! I've been trying to bounce messages for [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED], but it doesn't work :( I just copied my .qmail-postmaster into .qmail-news, with "&root" inside, killall -HUP qmail-send and sent a message to postmaster and to news. [EMAIL PROTECTED] works just fine, News - doesn't. There is "Mailbox" file appears in /var/spool/news instead. I even tried to completely restart qmail - the same effect. What I did wrong? -- ________ Regards, Dmitry Niqiforoff [tel. +7 8462 427427] Kraft-S, Ltd. Samara, Russia
Rejecting selected users
Hello! Is it possible to configure qmail to reject mail from selected (outside) users. For example, I have 'kraft-s.ru' domain and I'd like to deny user [EMAIL PROTECTED] to send any messages to our users. Any suggestions? ____ Regards, Dmitry Niqiforoff [tel. +7 8462 427427] Kraft-S, Ltd. Samara, Russia

The problem was when I've been converting old /var/spool/mail mailboxes to new ~user/Mailbox, chown wasn't working with dots in user name. I think it is better to say our managers not to allow users have dots in their logins. Then, there is another question: is it possible to handle usernames longer than 8 symbols?

There is user "t.v.ship" and he has FTP and HTTP access also, on the same server. Now I have to rename him? I have a lot of such users. Each user have to have an alias?

URGENT: QMAIL problems!!! :(((
Hello! Yesterday I moved from sendmail to qmail and now I got a problem. The problem is it doesn't recognizes usernames with dots in it. For example, there is a user "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", and qmail can not deliver a message to him: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1). Is there a way to force qmail to process messages for such users correctly? ________ Regards, Dmitry Niqiforoff [tel. +7 8462 427427] Kraft-S, Ltd. Samara, Russia
