The 2 first things are done - I have problems with number 3:

To create /var/qmail and configure qmail (won't interfere with sendmail):

  1. Create the qmail home directory:
# mkdir /var/qmail

  2. Read INSTALL.ids. You must set up the qmail group and the qmail
 users before compiling the programs.

# groupadd nofiles
# useradd -g nofiles -d /var/qmail/alias alias
# useradd -g nofiles -d /var/qmail qmaild

  3. Compile the programs and create the qmail directory tree:
# make setup check

How do I compile the programs? make-compile.sh doesn't do the trick. I 
have the qmail-files in /etc/qmail-1.03/ and want it installed in 
/var/qmail/ - /var/qmail/alias/ is correctly setup. Look also at the following:

HI ALL,

Greetings,


I am shocked and appalled at the absolute lack of courtesy, help and
sympathy that is on this list.  I have been here a while and while there
comes a few newbies that can really ask some dumb questions - we were
all there once...

There is a distinct difference between someone who genuine doesn't know and 
someone that just doesn't read documentation.  "How do i get qmail to start 
at boot?" is a classic example of  someone not reading LFQ.


Have some patience and help those less experienced than yourselves.  If
you do not like this - BUGGER OFF...

It gets tiring to see the same 5 questions..recently someone asked me 
off list that LFQ didn't cover apache with PHP installation.  I said that 
there was reason for this.  APACHE AND PHP AREN'T EVEN RE MOTLEY RELATED TO 
QMAIL!!


Those that do not RTFM (read the F'ing manual) sometimes do not have the
time or the knowhow on where to find it - and that is why we have a
mailing list - so we can ask others that know - and stop this needless
bickering and band together.

If you can't find a web site i'm surprised if you can boot lilo.  Chances 
you got qmail from qmail.org...and what else is on qmail.org?...a whole 
section for documentation.  Its very hard to miss...theres only about 30 
links there :-)

If you don't know how to read man pages use ./configure or make or learn to 
find documentation then you shouldn't even be looking at LINUX or other 
UNIX.  (And for all those of you that are wondering, NO! Qmail will NOT run 
on Windows. :-))  It comes down to laziness and i think that a newbie qmail 
list would be good.  I wouldn't subscribe...but it give the newbies a 
chance to work together and figure out how to read documentation. :-)


Sorry to those who are offended - but thats tough ...

I don't feel that its offensive...I have posted much worse to the 
misc@openbsd list. :-)

~kurth

I have read "Life with Qmail" about 20+ times. I believe I did not make my
question clear as your answer does not answer my question (or it does not
seem to):

In my case, ns1.mydomain.com has no mail package installed. On this server
when a "Cron" job runs, it does not find a user account "news" because I
deleted it (as part of another write-up recommendation). Therefore, the
"Cron" job creates a message to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" informing that it
did not find the "news" user account.

This message display only during LOGIN process. Here is the login sequence:
--

 ns1 login: root ; user id root is
entered
 Password: rootpassword  ; Password is
entered
 Last login: Sun Mar 11 15:06:21 on tty1 ; This message is displayed
back
 You have mail   ; System displays
the mail message
 [root@ns1 /root]# mail  ; I enter "mail"

 (system displays the mail messages...)
 (messages are addressed to "[EMAIL PROTECTED] and are generated
by Daily Cron job)

--

Having explained it, I don't believe, "LWQ" or any other write-up discusses
this type of problem, if it does can you point the section where this type
of situation is covered in "LWQ".

My original question was "How can I re-direct the email messages generated
on ns1.mydomain.com?". Your answer will make sense if I have qmail loaded on
ns1.mydomain.com. In my original message, I said that ns1.mydomain.com does
not have any mail application on it. ns2.mydomain.com does have qmail.

Again, my question is; how email messages generated on ns1.mydomain.com can
be sent to ns2.mydomain, which has qmail on it and ns1.mydomain.com is
listed in /var/qmail/control/local?

When I am logging onto ns1.mydomain.com, I get a message on the screen that

How can I setup qmail so that any system message generated on the first

is mail.mydomain.com (located on ns2.mydomain.com)?

use something else.

 1.  RH 6.2

 1. Install a OS that isn't a corprate money maker and install one 
that is supported by the community, or install one that is 
ultrasecure.(when i say untra secure i mean one that comes locked down 
- no services running - you have to enable everything see www.openbsd.org 
for more information)

 2.  Remove Apache, PHP  Sendmail

 2. see above step (1)

 3.  daemontools-0.70
 4.  ucspi-tcp-0.88
 5.  djbdns-1.05
  Note: DNS must work fore next item is installed

 will you be running name service?  thats a whole 'nother list and 
about 1 more week of pulling your hair out.

 6.  checkpassword-0.90
 7.  qmail-1.03 (dns error manually updated in dns.c file)
 Follow instructions as outlined in "qmail-HOWTO"
http://www.flunder.net/qmail/qmail-howto.html

 7. READ LIGEWITHQMAIL @ www.lifewithqmail.org

 Note: Qmail must work before going forward
 8.  RH Patches from RH web site

 8. Search securityfocus.com for latest exploits for your OS

 9.  Apache _1.3.12, mySQL-3.22.32, PHP-4.0.2, openssl-0.9.5a,
mod_ssl-2.6.6

will
  be during the coming weekend.
 
  your mother was starting to worry -  i just call and told her where you
  were going to be
 
 
  Previously I had "qmail" working, so realize, that there is something
which
  I did wrong. But after spending three days non-stop to figure out why
POP3
  in "qmail" was not working, I AM BEAT. So I am starting from scratch. I
  would like you help in advising me if I am installing the software in
  correct sequence. THIS IS A CLASS PROJECT.
  
  I am installing the following software in the order it is listed below:
 
  well...why start with redhat?  its buggy as hell and in general a poor
  excuse for a linux distro...try something like debianor if your open
to
  new os's try obsd.  i'm telling you - dump redhat and your life will be
  easier...the sun will shine, the birds will sing and most of all your
  machine will run correctly. :-)  no really tho.if your just starting
  our redhat is fine IMHO..however if your putting this into production i'd
  use something else.
 
   1.  RH 6.2
 
   1. Install a OS that isn't a corprate money maker and install one
  that is supported by the community, or install one that is
  ultrasecure.(when i say untra secure i mean one that comes locked down
  - no services running - you have to enable everything see www.openbsd.org
  for more information)
 
   2.  Remove Apache, PHP  Sendmail
 
   2. see above step (1)
 
   3.  daemontools-0.70
   4.  ucspi-tcp-0.88
   5.  djbdns-1.05
Note: DNS must work fore next item is installed
 
   will you be running name service?  thats a whole 'nother list and
  about 1 more week of pulling your hair out.
 
   6.  checkpassword-0.90
   7.  qmail-1.03 (dns error manually updated in dns.c file)
   Follow instructions as outlined in "qmail-HOWTO"
  http://www.flunder.net/qmail/qmail-howto.html
 
   7. READ LIGEWITHQMAIL @ www.lifewithqmail.org
 
   Note: Qmail must work before going forward
   8.  RH Patches from RH web site
 
   8. Search securityfocus.com for latest exploits for your OS
 
   9.  Apache _1.3.12, mySQL-3.22.32, PHP-4.0.2, openssl-0.9.5a,
  mod_ssl-2.6.6
I followed installation outline in
  http://www.devshed.com/server_side/PHP/SoothinglySeamless/page1.html to
  install these packages
 
  you forgot to read life with qmail!!!  read it it's everything that
you
  need to know...its a walkthrough and
  everything!  www.lifewithqmail.org!  READ IT!  don't even download qmail
  until you've read it.
 
  Please tell me if this sequence is the right one. Also is there any
patches
  I am missing. I noticed that several people have discussed several
patches
  to Qmail!
 
  yeppers - you forgot to read life with qmail. :-)
 
 
  Thanks for everybody's help. All of you folks are very helpful.
 
  thats why were here :-)

after this post i'm a sending all messages regarding this to  /dev/null

the point that i'm trying to convey is that commercial linux (or any nix 
for that matter) distros are not as good as other alternatives.  Let me 
give several reasons why (IMHO);

Where ever there is a buck to be made people start getting greedy and no 
longer take pride in their workEG: Redhat7.  It isn't a distro, its a 
poor excuse for a waste of plastic.  I'm not going to go into the reasons 
why (if your interested contact me off list).  Redhat (and other companies) 
are competing with each other.  Sure competition is good, however to 
compete they strive to get their product out to the public faster.  this 
means reduced quality of software.  no way around it.I personally use 
Debian 22r2, why because Debian is IMHO the most robust, stable 
distro.  Debian just works, I install what I want to install and nothing 
more, no X no sendmail if i don't want it, it doesn't get installed.

Let me put it another way - What is redhat's business plan?  To make money. 
What is OpenBSD's (Debian, FreeBSD, etc) business plan? Nothing, they don't 
have one.  There is no money to be made.  This ensures that the OS is 
polished, bugs fixed, and is ready for prime time.  I personally love how 
redhat can package GLP'd software with their "secure server" and sell the 
package for $199.00USD.  Oh support thats what you wantif you need 
telephone support you probably should be looking over some how-to's or some 
sort of documentation before installing linux.  The newbies who need 
telephone support are usually the ones who come to lug meetings saying 
things like "Linux sucks, It totally screwed up my whole system" or "I 
tried to start the installation from explorer but it didn't work."

well - i'll leave you to make your own decision...if you wish to discuss 
the matter further - contact me of list

~kurth

Kurth,

 I have several production servers (some of which are running millions of
active POP accounts) on redhat 6.2.  Just because your perfered nix is BSD
doesn't mean Redhat is of non-production standards.  Just means that you
dislike it because you probly don't understand it or use it.  I personally
never use BSD not because I don't understand it, nor because I don't like
it. but because I personally perfer Linux.  Just for a reminder this is not
a BSD mailing list!

I've been thinking about this for quite a while now.  I still can't come up
with a solution so maybe someone here can help.

Short version: we're looking for a way to make several e-mail addresses
share the same mailbox.

Long version: some of our clients want to have additional e-mail addresses
(we give 1 client 1 e-mail address with a 4MB mailbox; some want as many as
10 addresses).  We want to be able to give out more addresses (they don't
cost us anything anyway) but want to limit the mailbox size to 4MB, no
matter which e-mail address consumes more of the mailbox.

This is basically a quota problem.  Can anyone suggest a solution?

I am running Qmail on a Unix box with BSDI 4.0 and Apache.  My client has
been trying to get his email, but the first message is so big his receiving
program locks up.  I went into /usr/var/vpopmail/users/hisname/Maildir/new
and deleted the message with the lowest number, assuming that was the first
and hoping it was the culprit.  No such luck.

My questions to you:  Is there a command to show the size of the various
emails in his box without opening each one individually?  OR, did I go into
the wrong list?  Maybe /cur instead of /new?  Which one actually delivers
the mail?

Hi,

  Does anyone can tell me, how can I make virtual POP e-mails? I didn't find
any information about this. I have server, running Slackware 7.1 Linux and
qmail 1.03 as smtp server.  My friend asked me to host his website on my
server, so I made him name based hosting in Apache, but now he wants also to
have e-mail @hisdomain.com. I added his domain name to
/var/qmail/control/rcptdomains, and his e-mail is now
[EMAIL PROTECTED] But it's not enough for him: he want to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] , etc.. I don't want to create so many accounts on my
system.. (he need up to 40 or 50 e-mail addresses)..

thanks.


Aleks

Hi

If anyone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.  I
would like qmail to relay for a user if he/she comes from an allowable IP
address and/or from an allowable domain.  Right now the server is only
allowing relaying for people within allowable IP ranges and from one
specific domain.  Would I need the whole list of domains we host along with
their users corresponding ip address ranges in the tcp.smtp and
relaymailfrom files?

i would like to set relaying up based almost exclusively on ip address
ranges, with the exception of allowing relaying from one particular domain.

ideas?

thanks

All of my users when trying to send to aol or other off system sites are
getting this error.

sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts(#5.7.1)

Well why should aol.com or msn.com or anything off site be in rcpthosts?

What am I missing on my qmail server to do this..

Any help would greatly be apreciated..
It has to be simple I am sure :)

for qmail you'd want courier-imap.  get it at inner7.com

~kurth

The POP daemon will only remove messages when told to do so by the user's
email client software.  Eudora, for example, tells the server to delete
each message after it has been downloaded.  The client software can opt to
not delete the messages at all.

having a bit of a problem with qmail-poop3d. 
when i start it fro mmy init script i get this funky error in the log

any have any idea what could be causing this?

running openbsd 2.8 with qmail 1.03 and daemon tools .70 with

why -o- why?

2001-01-09 Thread Kurth Bemis

coming fro ma sendmail background i have a few questions about the method 
that qmail does things. 1)  If a local user doesn't exist sendmail gives 
you a error when sending mail.  IE - i send mail to 
[EMAIL PROTECTED],  the local account or alias kurthb doesn't exist so 
before accepting the message for delivery sendmail says User Unknows or 
whatever it says.  Why didn't DJB have qmail do something similar.  plus 
doesn't the sendmail method cut down on the number of disk writes?  If 
somebody has a clear answer I'd love to hear it.  Maybe DJB cares to 
address it himself :-)

freaking MS crap

I own a ISP and we're having problems with the "Snowhite Virus" and outlook 
users...its running rampant..from about 3 weeks back we got one or 2 
bounces a week..now we're up to 40 a day

I have created a controls/badmailfrom and added [EMAIL PROTECTED] however 
mail still goes thoughany ideas why this isn't rejecting mail?
I have looked at the logs and it seems that qmail treats it as a regular 
mail without checking...

any ideas?

relaying?

2000-12-20 Thread Kurth Bemis

ok well with the qmail-smtp problems outta the way

i am confused about relaying rules

this is my /etc/tcp.smtp file

127.0.0.1:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
g4.net:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""

however this does not work...when i send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] i get 
this message
Can't send to ". The server gives this reason: '553 sorry, that domain 
isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts(#5.7.1)'.

as i understand it rcpthosts is the file that holds all the domains that 
you have on your machine.

can somebody point me in the right direction?
