Anti-Virus options
I have seen the anti-virus options listed on the qmail.org site and looked at the documentation on vendors sites. I was wondering what the advantage was of installing the anti-virus add-ons to Qmail (like Qmail-Scanner) when you can just run most of the mail scrubbers as a daemon which listens to port 25 and sends good eamail to some non-standard p;ort where qmail-smtpd (via tcpserver) can be listening? -- Ed
When bouncesaying messages bounce...
When bouncesaying messages bounce I get a failure notice. Usually it is about bouncing to username which does not exist because the original bounce messages was spam from a bogus email address. Is there any way to stop getting these bounced bounced messages and still get legitimate failed emails? Ed Weinberg, Q5 Comm, LLC.

Does anyone know a good how to or site where i can get info on rejecting all mail that is not addressed directly to me or my users ? Sounds like you have a default mailbox set up. Just remove that mailbox and make sure each user has a .qmail file and those messages will be bounce. As to denying the servers they are using, I have been watching them. They originate from a different address that traced to .kr or .cn or some other unfriendly country, so you can't email their provider to turn them off. They also relay from a different relay each time. Every time they start these campaigns I get their spam for a few days, then every email address on their list gets 10 times the spam for a while. I am considering screening out ALL .cn and .kr mailservers. Is there an easy way to do that? Ed Weinberg, Q5 Comm, LLC.

Compile problems with compilation of daemontools-0.70 on RH 7.1
I am havingompile problems compiling daemontools-0.70 on RH 7.1. I have already compiled Qmail, Checkpassword, and several other packages, just this one is giving me a problem. Are there known problems doing this with 7.1? Anyone have a work-arround? Here is the last few lines while make is running: ./load tai64n time.a unix.a byte.a ./compile tai64nlocal.c tai64nlocal.c: In function `main': tai64nlocal.c:54: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast tai64nlocal.c:55: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type tai64nlocal.c:56: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type tai64nlocal.c:57: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type tai64nlocal.c:58: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type tai64nlocal.c:59: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type tai64nlocal.c:60: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type make: *** [tai64nlocal.o] Error 1 Thanks -- Ed

My custom messages returned by rblsmtp?
I want to return a custom message when rblsmtp bounces my email. Is there a way to do this? Why? I have had a provider who was listed in one of the black hole list. I needed to send someone an email, and could not get it to him any other way. If I am going to deny access because someone is on a list I want to give him a way to contact me. I want to refer him to a page with a form on it for him to use. How can I do this? Ed Weinberg, Q5 Comm, LLC. [EMAIL PROTECTED] tel 914-713-7222 fax 914-713-7227 Connecting you to the internet...

the ERROR: SMTP Connection closed by foreign host.
I am trying to run qmail on my firewall. Until now we were picking up the mail by pop using fetchmail. qmail on the sending machine tells me that the firewall started to respond, then dropped. When I telnet from inside the firewall to port 25 it works fine. When I telnet to port 25 from outside the firewall I get: Trying x.x.x.x... Connected to [servername]. Escape character is '^]'. Connection closed by foreign host. Here is how tcpserver and qmail are started: /usr/local/bin/tcpserver \ -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb \ -u 91 -g 90 0 smtp \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd I know we should be using private ip addresses inside, but we are not (blame it on the previous administration), and this should not cause this problem. We want people on the inside (the 100 network) to be able to use the firewall as a relay...and that works. Here is the content of tcp.smtp which holds the rules compiled to tcp.smtp.cdb: :deny 127.0.0.1:allow,RELAYCLIENT="" 100.0.:allow,RELAYCLIENT="" I have the domain I am accepting mail for in locals. I have the domain I am accepting mail for in rcpthosts. I do not think that my ipfwadm commands are stopping it. Am I missing something?

smtp-poplock problem
I am trying to get smtp-poplock working. I currently have an RH5.2 test system set up. I have qmail runnig and pop3 works fine. I use inetd (please no flames about running indetd!). I followed the install instructions and still seem to have something wrong. If readlog is not started and email goes through qmail the fifo has data in it. If I start readlog, the size goes to 0. This only happens when sending mail through the system, not during a pop3 mail pickup. Nothing ever appears in /var/smtp-poplock. I do not understand how the program will get authenticated names from the log. POP3 transactions have never been logged to the maillog in any of my installations. Is there some switch I am missing? Some other entry in inetd.conf besides the SMTP stream entry? Thanks in advance. -- Ed Weinberg, Detel, Inc., An Internet Presence Provider [EMAIL PROTECTED]

manually clearing the queue...
Maybe I made a mistake. First I left out the rcpthosts file on my backup mail server. The mail log indicated that my system had been used by a spammer. (Ed covers his ears to avoid hearing flame) Next I went in to examine the queue and found hundreds of thousands of emails in /var/qmail/queue/mess/[0..22]. I did not want them delivered. I grep'ed the files in the directories into rm and got rid of all the spam keeping what should be all good mail. Now qmail seems to be spending lots of time trying to find the files it thinks are queued to be sent. (load average: 1.52, 1.61, 1.56 on an otherwise idle P120 running RH 5.1). I suspect that it is using the files under /var/qmail/queue/remote/[0..22] to tell it to look for the files that I deleted, but I can't figure out an easy way to filter those out. What should I do? Should I delete them all? If I do will it rebuild them from the files that need to be sent? What should I do next time? Thanks in advance for the help. -- Ed Weinberg, Detel, Inc., An Internet Presence Provider [EMAIL PROTECTED]
