Re: split local domain addressing - similar question.
hi all, just a question similar to this split local domain addressing issue. domain1.com.au and domain2.com.au are both locally delivered domains. [EMAIL PROTECTED] is a functioning mailbox. [EMAIL PROTECTED] is to go elsewhere. in the ~sales/.qmail file i have put: |/var/qmail/bin/condredirect [EMAIL PROTECTED] [ `echo "$RECIPIENT" | tr A-Z a-z` = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ] can anyone else think of a better of way of doing this? its the only way i have found to do it so far.

qmail-default and bounce
hi all, sure to be a question asked before, but i can't seem to find a working solution. /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-default cops all the bad addresses, but if i forward that to a mailbox the people don't get a bounce. At the moment the file contains: &[EMAIL PROTECTED] which is a mailbox i've setup as a catchall. I tried adding: |echo 'No such user'; exit100 in the first line which bounces the mail, but no mail is put into the defaultalias mailbox. Is there anyway to do both?

Put your mailbox _before_ the bouncesaying line. e.g., > > ./Maildir/ > |bouncesaying "No such user" What about something like: /maildirectories/d/defaultalias/Maildir/ |bouncesaying "No such user" work? i would assume it should if the maildir is right, but i have the right maildir there and it doesn't want to deliever to that directory!

Yep, i tried every way i could and the only way to do it is this: in .qmail-default put: &[EMAIL PROTECTED] &[EMAIL PROTECTED] and then have defaultaliasmailbox as your catchall mailbox, and a |bouncesaying file in the .qmail for bouncer.

Help!
Hi, We run qmail 1.03. I've been asked if we support "ERTN". Reading around... it looks like I have to have serialmail installed to support it. However, I don't know how to find out if i have serialmail installed. Someone tells me that the person here before me had setup. Two quick questions: 1. How do I find out if I have serialmail installed? 2. If I do have serialmail installed, what is the difference between ERTN and people just dialing in and collecting their mail normally? Thanks for help in advance. :) Regards, Marc-Adrian Napoli Connect Infobahn Australia +61 2 92811750 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi again!
Hi there :) I've just been reading over the docs for qmail. It says to HUP the server if you change any files in the /var/qmail/control directory.. What is a safe way to do this? I've got a /etc/init.d/qmail script which doesn't actually work. I know that I have to HUP the tcpserver processes and the qmail-smtpd processes, but does anyone know exactly what to do? Any help is most appreciated :) Regards, Marc-Adrian Napoli Connect Infobahn Australia +61 2 92811750

syslog question.
hiya, been looking through the archives, can't seem to find my answer. this is in my /etc/init.d/qmail file: #Starts qmail-send and qmail-l/rspawn etc. csh -cf 'qmail-start ./Maildir/ splogger qmail &' #Starts qmail-smtpd for incoming smtp connections. /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -D -lcia.com.au -b30 -H -R -c100 -x/var/qmail/tcp.s mtp.cdb -u71 -g65534 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1 | /var/qmail/bin/splogger smtpd & #Starts qmail-popup for incoming pop connections to maildirs. /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -D -lcia.com.au -b40 -H -R -c100 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup virtual1.com .au /work/bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir & Question 1: qmail-smtpd isn't logging. is this because i don't have a "recordio" parameter there? if this in the case.. piping it out through splogger is unnecessary correct? Question 2: I am getting a growing mail.log with presumably lots of qmail-send messages. However, i specified a tag of "qmail" for splogger, but i am getting "splogger" as the description in my mail.log file. Any ideas?

sorry to bother again!
Hi everyone, sorry to bother you all again. today i decided to monitor incoming pop connections. you know.. so the support guys can see if people are typing in their username incorrectly. In /etc/init.d/qmail i usually have: /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -D -lcia.com.au -b40 -H -R -c100 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup virtual1.com.au /work/bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir & that lines starts the pop side of things all well and good. However, if i try and put: /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -D -lcia.com.au -b40 -H -R -c100 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup virtual1.com.au /work/bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir & | /var/qmail/bin/splogger qmail & I get an error when trying to start the /etc/init.d/qmail file?

Re: How to log the qmail-pop3d connection
Hi all, Regarding pop-3d. > Yea but the original post wanted to record cmd's, kinda like tcpservers -v > option. Sure you can sniff and dump etc, but nothing built in (aka fool > proof). I asked this question a while back, and found out that there is no way. :( tcpserver -v won't give you anything useful when running pop-3d. Therefore piping the output through splogger (and consequently syslog) gives you nothing, i am logging mail.* in syslog and get nothing. (i've tried!) The only way is for someone to edit some source code of pop-3d to spit out some info. (Or as mentioned, use tcpdump for this sort of thing.. but this will most definitely not giev useful information about incorrect passwords etc). Anyone already done this?

hi all, i have an autoresponder line in a customers .qmail file as follows: | /var/qmail/bin/autorespond AutoReplyBot [EMAIL PROTECTED] /www/db/user/respond.txt this works fine.

strange..
hi there.. we usually have a local queue that sits at about 10 and a remote queue that sits at 100 or so. This afternoon i realised that we were running out of space on our /mail partition. At the same time, I realised that i wasn't receiving any mail. I killed all qmail processes and started again... Then, strangely, our local/remote queue shot right up! We had 1500 in the local queue and 1000 in the remote queue.. At that point they started to settle down and now it is getting back to normal. Any ideas of what may have caused this? I checked both queues and all the messages in them seemed to be to various addresses, neither queue contained hundreds of the same mails. Anyone know how i could chase this up?

(Blocking from certain IP's on port 25). What i'm after is a solution that falls into place at the qmail-send/qmail-local stage that will quickly check the headers of the message to be delivered locally first for any particular strings.

Even if qmail is configured to handle mail for a domain (through rcpthosts) it should do the lookup on the MX for that domain right? I've had situations where we are the second priority mail server for a domain , and sending mail from our mail server to their domain doesn't go to their server but to the local machine because we have that domain in rcpthosts. Once i've taken the domain out of rcpthosts file it goes to the first priority mail server not a problem. This seems to be intimittent, so i must be missing something here. Anyone?

deletion of large queue.
Qmailers, Today i got into work to be faced with a local queue of 17000 odd messages. We were spammed by an american company who offered cheap university diploma's. Anyhow.. this is what i did to remove the messages and was wondering if anyone has a better alternative: 1. killed qmail-send 2. found out that the spam message contained "UNIVERSITY DIPLOMA" somewhere within the mail 3. went into /var/local/queue/mess and did a grep on all files for "UNIVERSITY DIPLOMA" 4. piped these to /tmp/messagenumbers which contained a list of 17000 odd message id numbers of spammed mail 5. opened up three terminals to machine running qmail, one in /var/qmail/queue/info, one in /var/qmail/queue/local and one in /var/qmail/queue/mess and wrote a for loop to remove all the files that were in the /tmp/messagenumbers file 6. restarted qmail-send and everything was okay again, queue was back down to a couple of hundred mails which were cleared in 10 minutes or so I originally tried using the qmhandle.cgi script that is floating around.. that works fine, however looking at the cgi it is obvious it takes time to decide whether the mail is local or remote... and seeing as i knew these were all in the local queue, i didn't have that time, i just had to remove the mails myself. Can anyone see if there is anything i've done wrong here? Regards, Marc-Adrian Napoli Network Administrator Connect Infobahn Australia +61 2 9281 1750

MX vs virtualdomains.
Hi there, This is the scenario. We have a customer who had one MX record pointing to our mail server so we handled mail for that domain by putting in a rcpthosts entry and a virtualdomains entry pointing mail to one mailbox, everything worked fine. The customer then took mail into their own hands. The MX was pointed elsewhere, dns was updated throughout the entire network including our mail server. When i try to send a mail to that domain now, instead of going to the new mail server, the mail still comes back to our mail server, even though the MX record is correct. I had a play around and found out the following. If you remove the entry from the rcpthosts, mail still doesn't go to the new mail server. If you, however, remove the entry from the virtualdomains file and leave it in the rcpthosts (possible for secondary mail purposes) then it works. Why is this? Why doesn't qmail forget its own control files and read straight off the MX? I remember this argument before and remember people saying that qmail reads the MX records first - obviously this is not the case!

lots of qmail-smtpd processes...
hi all, on my qmail box i can see about 20 qmail-smtpd processes. now, this can either mean that one of my users (allowed through tcp.smtp) is sending lots of mail out, or another mail server out on the internet is sending lots of mail in. about 5 of these processes are from IP addresses that i recognise (in my system), a couple of them are IP addresses of mail servers that i know, but there are a substantial number qmail-smtpd processes that have TCPREMOTEIP=202.59.39.88 (i can tell this by doing a psaxfe) what is my course of action? these qmail-smtpd processes are just sitting there... is this a legitimate mail server sending me mail, or someone trying to spam my system?

Re: Very long mail queue.... help a newbie !!!
Hi, Yesterday i was called into work early ebacuse we had 41000 messages in our outgoing remote queue. (As opposed to an average of a couple of hundred). Luckily, there were 39,000 mails in there to the one address. How to fix? Grep /var/qmail/queue/info/* for that email address. Get a whole list of message numbers. Stop qmail-send and delete any files with this message number in /info, /mess and /remote. ie. rm /var/qmail/queue/info/0/10345 rm /var/qmail/queue/remote/0/10345 rm /var/qmail/queue/mess/0/10345 after removing all the files from these three directories our queue was back to normal. as far as i know, there is no script that anyone has written to this, so i had to make a little one up myself.

Re: etern
hi, yup etern works if you patch a few of the qmail source files. (there is a patch floating around somewhere) we've done it, and when the customer has a static IP address it works not a problem.

badmailpattern
has anyone used this file with success? and if not why is it still in the docs? Regards, Marc-Adrian Napoli Network Admin Connect Infobahn Australia +61 2 9212 0387
Re: badmailpattern
no, i dont mean the badmailfrom file, i use that successfully already. i want to block all mails with a particular pattern inside them. i see there is a "badmailpattern" control file on the qmail webpage but no one can verify if it works or not. (it doesnt work for me, ive already tried. i was wondering if it worked for anyone else).
