Re: Machine names in message headers
Check the Hostname of the machine itself.. Qmail pulls the machine name from the machine not from DNS --JT - Original Message - From: John Portwin [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 30, 2001 8:19 AM Subject: Machine names in message headers From any e-mail I send through our server: Received: (qmail 20807 invoked by uid 0); 30 Jul 2001 15:08:06 - Received: from [EMAIL PROTECTED] by pluto2001.office.internal with qmail-scanner-0.96 (uvscan: v4.1.40/v4121. .

And why does it change? Regards, John
Re: Selective Relaying Problem
goto /etc/tcprules.d edit qmail-smtpd read 'man tcprules' on how to use tcprules Once you make the appropiate edits you want to do the following. from the tcprules.d directory tcprules qmail-smtpd.cdb qmail-smtpd.tmp qmail-smtpd If it gives you a command/file not found then tcprules isn't aliased so execute it like this /usr/local/bin/tcprules qmail-smtpd.cdb qmail-smtpd.tmp qmail-smtpd After that restart qmail-smtpd which is gennerally /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail-smtpd.init restart --JT - Original Message - From: Scott Zielsdorf [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Qmail List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 27, 2001 11:21 AM Subject: RE: Selective Relaying Problem I send this reply back to the responder and forgot to email it to the list. ### How are you starting qmail-smtpd? (ie the tcpserver line). Out of the run file in /service/qmail-smtp. Here is the paste of the file: #!/bin/sh QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaild` NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild` MAXSMTPD=`cat /var/qmail/control/concurrencyincoming` exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 200 \ /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -l 0 -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c $MAXSMTPD \ -u $QMAILDUID -g $NOFILESGID 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 21 This is being called from qmailctl inside the case statement svc -u /service/qmail-smtp. And what instructions did you follow to setup qmail? (www.lifewithqmail.org - recommended reading. No - ESSENTIAL reading.) or the INSTALL doc? If you followed the INSTALL doc, try re-installing qmail by following the lifewithqmail doc. In any case, answer the first question and we'll see what we can do... The install was done by a highly paid Linux/Qmail Consultant - who is stumped, which is cold comfort to me. I have questioned him at length on install procedures and he swears to have followed the INSTALL doc to a T. He has been knowledgable on other projects and I do have a good amount of faith in him and his work and while he does have reason to cover his butt because of his fees, I don't believe he is. # I am faced with the prospect of re-installation which I will do myself this time - but I would rather not have to if there was some other solution. However, on the subject of re-installation, and forgive me because I have not researched this in the archives, do I need to de-install qmail before reinstalling or can I simply overwrite it? And another newbie type question: I checked out GNUS's homepage. I am a slave to Outlook. I would like to break the bonds but, uh, I didn't see anything about a release for NT Server. Is there one? How do I get it? Thanks, Scott Zielsdorf Senior Technical Support Consultant Computer Instruments IVR Solutions Support Group
Re: Sublist (Was: Virus-infected listmembers)
ROFL!!! I couldn't agree more.. I think it hilarious myself that people want to blame the MUA when generally it the people and not the particular software or OS they are using and everyone might think I'm an *ss for saying this but ... If your stupid enough to even download the attachments let alone opening them without taking _some_kinda_ precautions then they almost deserve to by infested by any such virus just so they can learn the hard way Anyways that's my two cents on this whole thing ...

I'm unaffected as well, but NOT because I am smarter than anybody, I just manage to pay attention and NEVER download attachments! I also find it entertaining to watch all the traffic the spammers inspire. 25+ copies of the virus on this list alone, nearly 80 virus reports from 2 broken reporting entities (yes, I kept track just for fun), and maybe 150 email griping about same! Not to mention the myriad email requests for information on the best antivirus software to use. i use windows because (and only because) i cannot do the interface design for end-users of windows without walking in their shoes (and i love photoshop!) I'm in the same boat with all the bookkeeping and office stuff that I have to deal with constantly on the W machine and the server stuck in the dungeon in the back office. I telnet to it often, but find it just easier to use the MS product close at hand. And, ditto about photoshop. It is a winner!
