RE: MTA and \r\n problems
Tell them to download either download the source-code from qmail to check it themselves, or to fix the problem! Gee, those windows shops are so convinced of themselves that they don't even notice their obvious mistakes.

RE: that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts
better use tcpserver though. tcp-env as described in the FAQ didn't work on my Linux system. Apparently the Environment Variable RELAYCLIENT didn't get set.

RE: tcpserver
If you want tcpserver to only allow some hosts, you would do something like this (Look at http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp/tcprules.html for more info) 192.168.0.xxx:allow 192.168.0.yyy:allow :deny this has to be "compiled" by tcprules of course.

RE: ralayclient and specific domain
Well, i don't know about that. I use the IP adresses of our hosts (there are just two). Have you "compiled" /etc/tcp.smtp with tcprules? have you given option -x/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb to your tcpserver startup?

Relaying test on abuse.net postive!?
So, after my hassle with RELAYCLIENT, and us beeing used as a spam relay, I tested the new setup with http://www.abuse.net/relay.html Now the thing ist, that relay test number six still goes thru. Is this some issue? Did I do something wrong? citing abuse.net: Relay test 6 >>> RSET <<< 250 flushed >>> MAIL FROM: <<< 250 ok >>> RCPT TO: <<< 250 ok Relay test result Hmmn, at first glance, host appeared to accept a message for relay. end cite Any help/info appreciated Leo
RELAYCLIENT Problems - SOLVED
So here's my little story. I have to relay mail from our MS Exchange Server to the qmail-server (This server also beeing the firewall). I did setup everything with tcp-env according to point 5.4 in the FAQ But this doesn't work (at least not with my RedHat Linux) The RELAYCLIENT variable just doesn't get set. Martin Jespersen was a great help in finding the problem. My simple solution: Use tcpserver. This was actually a no-brainer. Now (nearly) everything works fine. So, why not update this in the FAQ? instead of using tcp-env I now have a /etc/tcp.smtp file in which I have the IP-adresses of the servers who are allowed to relay. I wrote a little startup-script for tcpserver and that was it. I already moved one other service from inetd to tcpserver. I'll probably shutdown my xinetd alltogether. Ciao Leo
RE: terminate spamming
As was stated on this list (I read thru some of the archives just recently), why not let your users use the ISP's Mail-server if they are on the road. That is the only practical solution I know of. Other than that you can only set up a VPN, with which the users can once again use your internal infra-structure.

RE: Incomming message filter
Try http://qmail-scanner.sourceforge.net/ You can configure perl regular expressions to defer certain Headers (like Subject = I Love You, etc) You can also do virus checking with this.

RE: installing qmail tshirt-HELP please respond!!!
Sorry, I just cannot resist answering that: Take it off again. Now see, that the logos are on the outside (this is the default when you first unpack it) Now hold it in front of you. turn it, so that the big logo faces you. Now put it on. it should be right. If you still have problems try re-compiling (cut out the logos an put them on a fresh shirt. First you have to make clean; make shirt or simply buy new-shirt - depending on your platform Cheers Leo > -Original Message- > From: Andy Meuse [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, October 11, 2000 4:49 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: installing qmail tshirt-HELP please respond!!! > > Hey all, > > I got my qmail tshirt and I put it on according to the directions in > Dave's LWQT, but the big logo is on the front of the shirt.

I still get: 553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts I tried to send email from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] So in theory the message is OK. But I WANT our exchange server to be able to RELAY. So the setting of the RELAYCLIENT variable doesn't seem to work. any ideas of how to debug this? Could this also be related to Peter Green [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] who says RedHat 6.2 is a bit weird (we upgraded the kernel to 2.2.17 though). Maybe the exporting of the enviroment variable or tcp-env don't behave right. Ciao Leo

RE: Moving from NFS delivery to SMTP delivery...need advice!
Here is one of thos crappy ideas you requested. How about setting up a /var/qmail/control/smtproutes file to route emails to some domains (don't know if this works for users too) to another server. I think you have to remove them from /var/qmail/control/local though !? Something like maildomain.com:kermit.hillsong.com should do the trick in smtproutes !? Probably doesn't work though, cause I am NO qmail genius. Ciao Leo > -Original Message- > ANY ideas (absolutely any, no matter how crap they seem!) will be greatly > appreciated! > >
Problems with RELAYCLIENT
Our setup: EXCHANGE SERVER <=> Firewall (qmail) <=> Internet we want the exchange server to relay mails to qmail, and the firewall to only accept mails for our domains, except for the exchange server. As is my understanding I need to set RELAYCLIENT with the help of tcp-env. /var/qmail/control then needs to be setup with all valid domains. Unfortunately I cannot seem to set RELAYCLIENT correctly. So here is my setup linux 2.2.16 qmail 1.03 + QMAILQUEUE patch (which also doesn't seem to work, but never mind now) Starting of qmail in /etc/rc.d/init.d with qmail-start '|preline procmail' splogger qmail & my /etc/hosts.allow: tcp-env: 192.168.0.xxx,XXX.bsbanksysteme.com: RELAYCLIENT=""; export RELAYCLIENT I attached "; echo "`date`-$RELAYCLIENT-" >> /tmp/tcp.test" to test and as I see from that file it seems to work. When I now add a rcpthosts file I get EMail sent thru the exchange server returned: 553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1) So it doesn't look as if the RELAYCLIENT realy does work. Any ideas how I can test this or verify if any of the variables does get set. a very desperate Leonard Tulipan
RE: Newbie help: qmail as a relay gateway
Yes, thank you, I have been looking thru that but since I don't know what my config is called, I don't know what to look at. I'm totally at loss, because I have never before configured a mail server. Just a short: do FAQ X.Y then install Package/Software Z then do FAQ A.B check everything is working enjoy That's what I have been hoping for.

Newbie help: qmail as a relay gateway
First of: I'm a newbie both to sendmail & qmail. (Read: don't flame me for my stupidity) The only thing I really achieved was compiling the packages (both sendmail & qmail seem to "work" fine in a sense that all the test complete successful) If you can point me to the correct URLS or Steps I have to do, I'd be more than grateful, for I have been assigned this project without really knowing anything. We currently have this setup: internal MS Exchange Server I firewall (Linux-box with sendmail) I access router I Internet So our sendmail (apparently) does: relay all email to @bsbanksysteme.com/de/at/ch or @bs-ag.com/de/at to our Exchange Server and that server relays all outgoing mail to the firewall which sends it. Since I don't know how that configuration is called (authorized-relay? I realy don't know) I don't know which questions of the faq realy apply to me. Please help me out of my misery because I sincerely do hate sendmail. Ciao Leo
