Unable to establish an SMTP connection error
I have two people I can no longer email. It used to work just fine. I have not changed anything on my qmail server. (I know, you've heard that before! but I swear, I didn't). Both email addresses, I can telnet to them on port 25 and get a prompt, so I know the domain part of the addresses are OK. I can send to anyone else just fine, so I presume my server is OK. How can I get more info in the qmail-send/current log file so I can see why it is failing? - Gary
badmailfrom didn't work
OK. I added this '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' dude to my badmailfrom and still got this last message. What gives? If I telnet to the box and try to send in a message as him, it gets kicked out, why doesn't the real message get kicked out? - Gary
dns for qmail only??
I moved qmail off of a 'do it all' box to it's own box. It's running great. My problem is that the old machine is still the DNS for my domain. When it sends status messages to me, it, I'm guessing, checks DNS and gets the public IP of the new box, can't connect to it from behind the firewall (both boxes are 192. ), so it sends it to the secondary MX record, which is my old ISP. I then get it via getmail cron job, but I'd like for it to deliver internally. I've changed the /etc/hosts to point to the 192. address, but qmail must not look at that. How can I have DNS giving out the public IP for the world, yet tell qmail the 192. addr?? qmail box -- hub OpenBSD firewall DSL ^ dns box ---| - Gary
help setting up virus scanner
Ok, now I'm really frustrated and have wasted way too much time. I tried the badmailfrom option to stop these messages, that didn't work because of not checking headers, from, whatever. I tried to install AmAvis, that installed without errors, (what a pain to install), but I get can not allocate memory type errors in my smtpd/current file. I just now tried to install qmail-scanner and am getting similar errors in the ../smtpd/current file: 2001-07-26 11:30:28.819170500 /usr/bin/suidperl: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot load shared object file: Cannot allocate memory What is going on? I'm using sophos if that matters. Both amavis and qmail-scanner say they support it. It is a RedHat 7.1 box, brand new setup, and updated. - Gary PS. btw, I did set qmail-scanner to notify = admin ONLY!!! Hee hee!

Yup. That was it. That and about a million permission problems. All fixed now.

Vmailmgr compile problems
I've setup a new qmail/courier-imap server and all is well except for vmailmgr. I can not get it to compile. I had the same problem on an older machine, figured, oh well, it's probably outdated. Not so. rant I've searched the archives and found lots of others with the same error and no solutions. Due to the high volume of messages from people running it, I'm sure it is a great package, but I'd like to try it myself. I even have people finding my previous newsgroup requests for help and emailing me offline!!

if all else fails, send to
How do I tell qmail to send any incoming messages to unknown users to a particular user? Lots of times a sender will misspell a users name and my client would like to have all unknown user type messages forwarded to a person who can look at it, then pass it on to the proper person/spelling.
Re: if all else fails, send to
Thanks Greg. No offence taken. I had tried man pages but didn't try the right key word and found that the man pages had been installed under /var/qmail so they wouldn't have shown up if I did. Oh well. .qmail-default works fine. However, in preperation for handling multiple domains, I would like to do this on a per domain basis. The man page says to use .qmail-ext but I can't seem to get that to work. Am I misreading the man page? - Gary Greg White wrote: On Fri, Jul 06, 2001 at 04:10:46PM -0400, Gary MacKay wrote: How do I tell qmail to send any incoming messages to unknown users to a particular user?

Try 'man dot-qmail', and look for 'default'. Your answer is there. (Not trying to be rude or short with you, but the docs are good.

Re: Looking for a good Maildir capable web based mail client
www.squirrelmail.org is about the best I've found and it's free. David Gartner wrote: Hey all, Up until we switched over to qmail, we were using some web based mail client. It will only work with Mbox format, and reads directly from the file itself. Of course, when we switched over, we switched to Maildir, so the old mail client doesn't work anymore. The only web based mail we can find is CWMail, and it's rather pricey, and not so easy on the eyes. I've seen several webmail programs out there, but don't know which to chose. Is anyone currently using any good web mail software they would suggest? Thanks for the help. David

Auto-responders
I'm more than willing to search out the answer, I just can't find the archives. Where are the qmail archives kept? I would like to find a simple email auto-responder. Something that doesn't require me to install a ton of extra's. I only have one person that needs this functionality. - Gary
IsoQlog problems
Does anyone have isoqlog running consistantly? I have worked on this for quite awhile and think I have it narrowed down to the fact that I don't get enough traffic to make the ../send/current log file grow over 100k. Let me explain: I have installed isoqlog on several servers from very low to very high traffic. The high traffic sites seem to work fine, the low traffic sites don't work at all, and the medium traffic sites work once in awhile. (Sounds like the three bears story right?) Anyway, with all the testing I've done, it seems to be related to the ../send/current file not getting big enough. I have setup qmail using the LWQ doc and multilog. The author suggested I use splogger instead of multilog, but the LWQ doc says not to do that since it slows everything down. Since I only have trouble on the low traffic sites, would switching to splogger be a big problem? Where is this magic number of 100k for multilog? Can it be changed? - Gary
isoqlog and multilog not playing nice
I have qmail,qpop3d, and courier-imap humming along just fine. I added isoqlog which, when run manually works fine, but I can not get it to log on it's own. I've search all 38 messages (wow!) on the yahoo isoqlog message board, and tho others are having the same problem, no solutions. The problem centers around the /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-send/log/run file. (Yes, I used the 'Live With Qmail' doc to set everything up. The isoqlog doc says to remove the 's250 ' portion of the command and put in !isoqlogappend instead. So the file reads (all on one line): #!/bin/sh exec /usr/local/bin/setuidgid qmaill /usr/local/bin/multilog t !isoqlogappend /var/log/qmail/send I can see the command running in ps auxw so I know the restart took affect. But nothing happens. The /var/log/qmail/isoqlog file is supposed to fill up (I think) with info. But after each nights cron job that rotates the log file, it just sits there at zero bytes. The doc says to manully run the tai64nlocal command to create the first isoqlog file, which works fine. Then I manully run the cron jobs and the web pages get created beautifully. What am I missing? - Gary
