Where is sqwebmail in courier-imap?
The sqwebmail page says that courier-imap includes sqwebmail so there is no need to download sqwebmail if you have courier-imap. I cannot seem to find sqwebmail in my courier-imap-0.31 installation! Anyone know where it could be? I have done a find / -name sqwebmail -print. Thanks, Kristina

ORBS prevention
I am at the point of setting up my qmail-server as the mail-hub for my organization. I have only used qmail for testing purposes so far and I am not experienced with anti-spam techniques. Now that I want to use my qmail-server in real life, there are many other issues involved--like preventing my qmail server from being put on the ORBS database. I have referred to the archives, however, there is much heated discussion without much pratical detail. Pleae let me know what I need to do for ORBS prevention and any other configuration details necessary for a secure, anti-spam mail-hub. Thankyou in advance, Kristina

Re: Login problems with courier-imap
No I am not using the auth_imap authentication module yet because I can't even get courier-imap to work using default authentication. Although, my ultimate goal is to use the auth_imap module I can't get courier-imap working with /etc/passwd. Any help appreciated as to why I am getting "connection closed" as soon enter the correct username an password! Has anyone got courier-imap running correctly on Solaris 7?

Login problems with courier-imap
I have courier-imap compiled correctly on Solaris7 but when I try to login I get, "Connection closed by foreign host.". In the syslog I only get, " imaplogin: Connection, ip=[127.0.0.1]" When I give the correct username and password I get the "connection closed" error. When I enter a wrong username andpassword I do get the expected "Login incorrect" errorwhich means imap is authenticating. Any hints would be great. Please note that I have not made any configuration changes to imap following compilation. Perhaps imap requires some configuration in some files???

Avoiding qmail being listed on ORBS
I have seen messages posted on the mailing list regarding qmail failing orbs tests etc. I do understand that it is not a qmail problem, however, I would like to know if there is anyway qmail can be configured to avoid being damned as an open relay by these organizations? Thankyou, Kristina -- The following is quoted from: http://www.faqts.com/knowledge-base/view.phtml/aid/1198/fid/206/lang/en Properly configured non-relaying qmail installations appear to fail some simpleminded relay tests. These tests assume that if the SMTP server doesn't reject MAIL/RCPT commands that could cause relaying in some MTA's, that the tested MTA might relay them. ---

mail quota with return mail function
I am a little unclear on a few things regarding setting up a mail quota for users. I understand a mail quota is set at /control/databytes but how do I set the number? In KB or MB? I want to set it at 5MB. Can I set a unique mail quotas for different users? By default, does qmail send a return mail to the sender? I would like a return mail telling the sender the user is above their limit. Do I require any patches for this? I have read about the mailquotacheck patch and it says on the www.qmail.org page that it is "clearly only effective on a userless mail hub"? Why is that? Thankyou, Kristina

I do understand that forcing qmail-local to deliver to /var/spool/mail is ve ry anti-qmail. I am using qmail with ldap and the ldap patch gets applies ch anges to qmail-local to make it work with ldap beautifully. This is why I ca nnot use the alternative methods, namely /bin/mail or procmail to deliver to /var/spool/mail. I would very much appreciate some hints on how to write up the .qmail file. Thanks in advance, Kristina P.S Thanks to Peter Green, Racerx and Tim Hunter for your replies one month ago.

Thanks in advance, Kristina P.S I do not want to use /bin/mail or procmail for /var/spool/mail delivery. I want to use qmail-local.
mbox format on qmail
Has anyone set up qmail to use the mbox format without using bin/mail?? I want qmail-local to deliver messages to /var/spool/mail. Thanks in advance, Kristina
Mbox format with qmail-local possible?
Is there a way I can get qmail-local to deliver to /var/spool/mail/username file?? I know you can get the mbox format by using /bin/mail but I want mbox format delivery with qmail-local! Thankyou, Kristina
MUA's compatible with Maildir
Life-with-qmail talks says that the Maildir format has less MUA support. Which MUA's are not compatible with the Maildir format? Thankyou, Kristina
Maildir format
I thought that configuring the /var/qmail/control/defaultdelivery file and /var/qmail/rc files was all you needed for the maildir format. However, as I was not getting tmp, cur and new directories created I rechecked the Life with Qmail documentation again to find out that I may need the .qmail file! Is this true?? Do I need a .qmail file to configure the maildir format. If so, how do I configure it. Please let me know. Thankyou in advance, Kristina

error at compile time
At compile time for qmail-1.03 on solaris7 I get the following in syslog repetitively: Jan 4 11:14:49 ldaptest qmail: 946952089.151836 alert: unable to opendir to do, sleeping... In the end, qmail seems to compile okay and I can send mail as normal. Howev er, I am wondering how to solve the above error? The "to do" directory it is probably referring to is /var/qmail/queue/todo. I also get the same error when starting qmail for the first time. By stopping qmail and then starting it again, the error disappears!! Any help appreciated, Kristina
qmail-inject error
The first time I did a mail test to my mailbox kristina it worked. However, the second time it wouldn't work any more. I get the following error: % echo to: kristina | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject: to:: not found the second part "/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject" seems to be causing the error. The permissions for qmail-inject are: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root qmail 13 Jan 4 11:47 qmail-inject Thanks in advance for your help, Kristina
How do I empty the mailbox?
Is there a command where I can delete all past messages in a users mailbox, eg. /home/kristina/Mailbox. ? Thanks for your help, Kristina
Another compile error
I get the following error during compile and after starting qmail: Jan 4 11:14:49 ldaptest qmail: 946952089.151836 alert: unable to opendir to do, sleeping... I do not understand why qmail is trying to open the directory "todo" which is in the source directory of ldap: ldap/doc/deve/todo ! Thanks for any help, Kristina
compile error
When I compile qmail-1.03 on Solaris 7 the following error is produced throu ghout the compile for all *.c files. In the end, qmail compiles okay so I am wond ering if the following is something I should be worried about? qmail-local.c:448: warning: return type of `main' is not `int' Thanks for any help, Kristina
Re: qmail-inject
Thanks! I have the solved the problem by switching to shell instead of cshe ll. My new problem is that I get absolutely no response from the system when I execute the same command: echo to: kristina | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject Even /var/log/syslog produces nothing! Why is this command not executing?

Re: ldap and qmail
I want to do email routing where qmail on the mail hub looks up the ldap database for mail host information so that it can route mail to the mail servers. That way I do not have to add user accounts on solaris. All user info for email routing is centrally administered on the LDAP server. By the way, the QLDAPINSTALL document mentions that I need Netscape LDAP sdk (libldapss130). What is this for and where do I download it??

So far the only documentation I have found on the qmail-ldap patch is at http://www.nrg4u.com/qmail/QLDAPINSTALL. Are there any other documents around? Your response much appreciated, Kristina
RE: Compiling qmail on Solaris
I checked my path and permissions and this is what I found: My path to mess/0 is /var/qmail/queue/mess/0 The permissions of /var/qmail/queue/mess are :drwxr-x--- The permissions of the file 0 are : drwxr-x--- I followed the install steps carefully and I have the /mess/0 file. Perhaps the permissions are wrong or the path to the mess/0 needs to be designated somewhere.

Compiling qmail on Solaris
I am new to qmail and I have just installed and compiled qmail-1.03 on ultrasparc Solaris 7. When I start qmail I get the following errors in syslog: Dec 17 16:10:16 host1 qmail: 945414616.234284 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20 Dec 17 16:10:17 host1 qmail: 945414617.771422 alert: unable to opendir mess/0 , sleeping... I understand the first line is not an error, but the second line definitely looks like one. Does anyone know what is causing this? Is there something I need to do for q mail to run on Solaris? Thanks in advance, Kristina
