Dots in .qmail-names

2000-11-08 Thread Gary Richardson

Hey,

I am trying to use a dot-qmail file called .qmail-clayton.cottingham and it
seems that qmail can't handle files with dots in them. It works fine without
the dot. Is this true? How can I make it work?

thanks.

dotqmail scripting

2000-09-20 Thread Gary Richardson


Hey,

I'm still having troubles with the dotqmail scripting. I can not go

|scriptname

as someone suggested since my script simple prints the email address the
message is supposed to go to. Is there some way to use variables in the .qmail
files?

I want to do something like:

`scriptname`

to have it forward to a specific address. Can I do this with a simple script or
am I going to have to reinject the message instead of redirecting it?

thanks.



Re: dotqmail scripting

Actually, I modified the script to just do the inject. That worked, but then I
got an email about the already built 'forward'. I decided to switch to that
since it is probably a whole lot more tested

thanks guys.

  Reinject.  It's not as painful as it sounds; read `man qmail-inject` or
  even `man mailsubj` for details.  .qmail- files don't allow you to do 
  quite what you want above.  conredirect might suffice, but we don't know
  enough about what you want to accomplish.

dot-qmail scripting

2000-09-18 Thread Gary Richardson


Hey,

I have a script that 'round-robins' email boxes for a high traffic account. It
basically cycles through a list of addresses. I can't seem to get it to work
properly though.

Doing:

`scriptname`

doesn't seem to work.

I have also tried::

| EMAIL=`loadbalance.pl test`
echo $EMAIL  /tmp/sentto
$EMAIL

which also fails.

Any suggests on how I can do this?



Re: Second mail server

 Hello.
 
 I want to run a second mail server.
 
 I'm curious of how you do this.
 
 I know about the MX, but if the accounts are on the primary mail server, and it goes 
down, how do you ensure the the accounts and mail are duplicated on the second sever.
 
 Does that make sense ?

A secondary MX doesn't function as a secondary pop. It only recieves the
mail and will continually attempt to forward it until the lower priority
smtp server comes back to life.


Pop and SMTP are two different entities.




Re: DO NOT TRY INSTALLING QMAIL ON MANDRAKE

I've installed qmail on 3 mandrake 7 boxes without a hitch. This messages
is comming through a mandrake box now. 

Sounds like you have a dns problem.

 Hi everybody.
 
 I tried and tried to install QMAIL 1.03 on Mandrake7.0 with NO SUCCESS!
 Something seems to work wrong on Mandrake, and qmail gives CNAME LOOKUP
 FAILURE.
 
 I tried to reinstall the OS + qmail 5 times!
 The log said CNAME LOOKUP FAILURE every time!
 
 I tried to apply the DNS patch
 The log said CNAME LOOKUP FAILURE every time!
 
 I tried to change the router configuration:

 I installed latest bind:

 I installed RedHat:

 Has someone got an idea about this?
 Has someone got the same problem?

 I have been working for 2 weeks trying to solve this problem.
 
 I fixed my DNS problem (applied a patch, and installed latest bind) and I
 finished to think the problem is Mandrake7, because qmail didn't run.
 
 I only wanted to know why.
 I know this fact is strange, but is real: qmail 1.03 does not work with
 Mandrake7.

CNAME LOOKUP FAILUR != Broken Mandrake7

It means a broken DNS configuration. It can't be patched, it has to be
fixed in your config files.





qmail-pop3 problems with 'large' accounts

2000-03-28 Thread Gary Richardson

Hi,

I'm having problems with a pop user checking their. There are around
12000 emails in their MailDir directory and I get the following error when I
try to download them:

-ERR unable to scan $HOME/Maildir
Connection closed by foreign host.

The host names are all set correctly. Also, if I empty out the box to around
6000 emails, it will work fine. 

I'm running a brand new linux system with qmail-1.03

Any suggestions?
