one host with several hostnames?
Hello, i have the following situation: +-+ | qmail 1.03| eth0 --| gemini.qad.org | | | ppp0 --| gemini.myip.org | +-+ My host should accept mails to gemini.qad.org as well as gemini.myip.org, because it is the same machine. What I did: I edited the configure files 'locals', 'rcpthosts' and 'virtualdomains' and wrote the additional hostname in there. The virtualdomains: tuebingen.mpg.de: gemini.myip.org: :alias-ppp But it appears like an urgly hack to me. Is there a better way to reach the needed functionality? Thanks for answers and hints -- |Michael Renner E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | |D-72072 Tuebingen Germany| |Germany Don't drink as root! ESC:wq

from-adresse in bounce-mail
Moin, all mails written or delivered to my server ruppert.terramenta.de are adress masqueraded, that they have the form [EMAIL PROTECTED]. That works fine. But when a mail bounce because the adress is not existent (e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED]) the mailadresse from the mailer-daemon is still [EMAIL PROTECTED] ^^^ The smarthost I use only transport mail with adresses from terramenta.de, so the mail from [EMAIL PROTECTED] bounce. So, what do I have to do to masquerade the adresse from MAILER-DAEMON to [EMAIL PROTECTED], as it works for 'normal' users?

vpopmail/qmailadmin with fetchmail and maildirsmtp: where to start?
Hello, I run a small internal network. All mails for the employees are transfered through an isdn dial-up line. I use fetchmail, qmail therefor, mails are sent by using maildirsmtp. Every mail-user needs an own account on this linux router, which is not needful for the normal work. Now I installed vpopmail and qmailadmin to change this, but I dont know where to start! How do I have to configure fetchmail to transfer the mails not to the system users (I fetch mails from a multidrop mailbox with pop3)? What else do I have to change? And how should I handle these users, which still needs a user account on this router/gateway/mailer as well as a mailaccount? Thanks in advance for hints and pointers to the documentation. -- |Michael Renner E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]| |D-72072 Tuebingen Germany | mail -s "get pgp key" [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null mail -s "get gpg key" [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null |Don't drink as root!ESC:wq
how to check if mails queued in ~alias
Hello, I want to write a simple script to check if mails are queued in /var/qmail/alias/pppdir/new to decide, wheter the PC should go online or not. Is there a spezial command like 'qmail-queue' to decide if the computer should dial (isdn) to the provider and send the queued mails using maildirsmtp? Of cource, I can check this with # if ls var/qmail/alias/pppdir/new then; but maybe there is an other way?
