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
# useradd -g nofiles -d /var/qmail qmaill
# useradd -g nofiles -d /var/qmail qmailp
# groupadd qmail
# useradd -g qmail -d /var/qmail qmailq
# useradd -g qmail -d /var/qmail qmailr
# useradd -g qmail -d /var/qmail qmails
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:
make setup check just like it says.
[root@tweurope qmail-1.03]# ./make-compile.sh
exec -c ${1+"$@"}
[root@tweurope qmail-1.03]# make
Makefile:1369: *** multiple target patterns. Stop.
[root@tweurope qmail-1.03]# cd /var/qmail
Where did it tell you to change dirs? Above it told you to make a
dir but it never told you to change dirs.
[root@tweurope qmail]# make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
[root@tweurope qmail]# make setup check

Vince. smtp-poplock is just another implementation of "pop before smtp" which I already have with vpopmail. I will explain in more detail why this solution doesn't work for me. Many mail clients the default or only action is to send mail before checking mail. So what happens is the mail client happily sends all mail in the outbox then checks there mail via pop. This works fine until all that mail just sent gets bounced right back from the smtp server because the mail client had not authenticated with pop first allowing them relay access. Then I end up with a very annoyed and confused user (is there any other kind?). So the best solution I can see for this is smtp auth. I've been using it for over a year and the only problem any of my customers have had was when they didn't understand they had to check mail first. Noone's ever complained about losing outgoing mail because of it. The SMTP transaction should fail before it completes so the mail should remain in the user's queue. I chose this version over the other one(s) BECAUSE I didn't have to patch qmail. Also another question with qmail-smtp-auth if a host is already set up as a relay client do they need to still provide a login password to get relay access? Nope, they're renewed for a configurable time period (I have it set for 10 minutes) each time they check mail. As long as they're sending from the IP that checked mail RELAYCLIENT is set.

I'm not familiar with smtp-poplock, and I was basing what I said on Bjorn Nilsen's last reply, which said, "smtp-poplock is just another implementation of 'pop before smtp.'" It does the same thing - allow any client to send mail provided they successfully authenticated with the POP3 server first - but that's the only way they're the same. smtp-poplock reads a log (or pipe, it's configurable) and updates its database with the IP. When someone attempts to connect to qmail-smtpd it checks the database and sets RELAYCLIENT before launching it, just like tcpserver would if the IP was in the cdb file it looks at. It works off of the same concept as qmail - modular and simple.

No, ESMTP AUTH is different from pop-before-smtp. With ESMTP AUTH, clients authenticate themselves via the SMTP server for each SMTP session. The POP server is not involved at all. The way the qmai-smtpd-auth patch works, if a client connects to the SMTP server and successfully authenticates itself, the patched qmail-smtpd process sets RELAYCLIENT for that session, thereby allowing relaying. When the SMTP session is closed, the relaying permissions, along with the rest of that process, disappear. Ok it is different, but the same drawback remains... You have to patch your qmail installation. I got stuck running a 1.02 for awhile after 1.03 came out because of patches. That was the last version I patched.

You are on the false list. qpopper has nothing to do with qmail (i can be used with qmail in "compatibility mode", but it is not common). I never heard about smtp-poplock. And using inetd is also uncommon for qmail installations. smtp-poplock was done by David Harris. If you're using mbox for qmail delivery you can use qpopper. I had it set up for quite some time this way before moving to solidpop. The current qpopper I believe will log successful logins with IP address. The way I had set it up was to log username, IP and date/time to stderr then I used tcpserver to run qpopper and routed stderr to a file called /var/log/poplog. smtp-poplock's readlog reads this file (I'm just using tail -f) and feeds it to poplock. What I like about smtp-poplock as opposed to the other solution(s) is that you don't have to patch any programs to make it work (if you use the newer qpopper, otherwise you do). Here's the startup line for qpopper: /usr/local/bin/tcpserver 0 110 /usr/local/bin/popper 2 /var/log/poplog and here's the startup line for qmail-smtpd: /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -g 1001 -u 1004 0 25 /usr/sbin/relaylock /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2 /var/log/smptdlog To see what IPs are allowed to relay you use the program called showallowed and you get an output like this: ipaddr (and netmask) access window expires 123.45.67.89 Mon Jan 8 15:09:35 2001 You do need to make sure that smtp-poplock.conf has the right parse_log_sub that matches your log output.

Re: Sending an email to all users of my system

Here's a script I use but I don't remember where it came from so if
anyone on the list recognizes it as theirs, speak up!
#!/bin/sh

cnt++

test
| grep -v spop3d /tmp/mail_list

# You may need to use grep -v statement in for

for user in `cat /tmp/mail_list`
do
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject ${user} MailMessage
done
rm -f /tmp/mail_list
# End script
To use it, you can put it in your home dir (that's what I do) and create
a file called MailMessage. At the top of the file put a To:, From:, and
a Subject: line, then a blank line, then your message. Edit the above
script to put your domain in in place of YOURDOMAIN.HERE. Run the script.
You may also want to edit the list of greps near the top to match your
system. I noticed yesterday that I need to add dnscache and tinydns to
the list. Also the (cnt 18) change the 18 to the line number of your
first user in /etc/passwd.

Please give me any idea of how to let my user change password via the web. And the web server and qmail server is located at different machine. Thank You so much for your help It would be fairly trivial to roll your own app to do it and run it thru tcpserver and stunnel. How you actually do it depends on the OS. In FreeBSD you can use pw, and if you want to be really slick about it you can even use it to disable an account.

It's telling you exactly what's wrong. qmail will not deliver to a directory where someone else can blow away your .qmail files and create their own. Unfortunately, some Linux distributions with a "single person per group" setup can cause qmail to complain, since it doesn't like group writable any more than world writable. You have two choices; change the permissions on your home directory or tell qmail what mask you want it to complain about (conf-patrn). This has been discussed in the list before, and so should be in the archives. As for pine, install mutt. mutt knows how to read maildirs, and is a better client than pine. -- -- Paul J.

Then see if you still get the error.
but the tmp directory would have to exist beforehand, right? unlike the

It's tmp not /tmp. tmp should already be created as part of the maildir.

This is strange..
I have two customers that are running stock qmail-1.03 that are having the same problem. You can send mail to them either with an MUA, mailsubj or telnetting straight to port 25. Look at the logs on the local machine right afterward and it says the remote host accepted the mail (I double checked the address to make sure it was the right place and not an MX). I also looked in the queue and the mail was there. The problem is that it takes a long time (we're talking minutes not seconds) for the mail to get delivered to the local mailbox. It also happens if a local user sends mail to a local user. To answer the usual question, there is nothing in the logs until it gets around to delivering the mail. But when it does it delivers all the mail that's stuck. I've gone over all the files in /var/qmail/control and they're correct. Neither machine is running DNS but both are able to look up names (including their own) without delay from the nameservers that are listed in resolv.conf. Anyone have a suggestion?

hi,
I think my smptd server is not listening.
I did the netstat -ta command. I did not see anthing related to smptd. So, how to
start
the smptd server. Also, do i have to start it manually everytime I reboot the
machine??
Take a look here: http://www.palomine.net/qmail/selectiverelay.html for
a step by step.
I added the startup to /var/qmail/rc. You may want to start qmail-smtpd
before qmail in that script.

When you telnet to port 25 what does it tell you? Connection refused or
something else? There's a good chance that qmail-smtpd isn't running.

Am I looking at a subtle hint that using tcpserver is vastly superior to inetd, even on a low-volume system like mine, and that I should drop everything and switch now? If that was your solution I recommend against it. tcpserver is the only supported anti open-relay solution. Many of my systems no longer run inetd at all for anything. Telnet was the only thing that needed it and it runs fine under tcpserver. I had trouble running telnetd under tcpserver on an older (ver 9.0) HPUX system tho, so make sure you have access to the console if you try it on a newer hp.
