Re: Linux7
I installed qmail+vpopmail+qmailadmin under xinetd in Red Hat 7 without big problems:
SMTP (taken from www.xinet.org FAQ):
service smtp{
disable= no
socket_type = stream
protocol= tcp
wait = no
user = qmaild
id = smtp
server = /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env
server_args = /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
log_on_success -= DURATION USERID PID HOST EXIT
log_on_failure -= USERID HOST ATTEMPT RECORD
#Some interesting features
#only_from= 198.72.5.0
#redirect= 10.0.0.1 25
}
POP3:
service pop3{
disable= no
socket_type = stream
protocol= tcp
wait = no
user = root
id = pop3
server = /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env
server_args = /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup hostname /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw (or /bin/checkpassword if you don't use vpopmail) /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir
}

Upgrading from Girlfriend v1.0 to Wife V 1.0 (was RE: DJB Girlfriend V 1.0- a solution for all)
Take a pill of sense of humour and then continue... As any veteran user of Girlfriend V 1.0 knows, this application will install a daily cron job that prints in stdout the advantages of upgrading to Wife V 1.0. I asked a friend that performed this operation short ago and he sent me some advices: The upgrading of Girlfriend V 1.0 to Wife V 1.0 isn't a trivial task. Before performing the operation you have to be sure of having a lot of system resources available because Wife V 1.0 will need most of them. Also you have to be aware of a couple of undocumented features in the new program: 1- Wife V 1.0 will spawn several child processes after a while that will call new processes like SchoolBill V 0.2 and XmasToys V1.0, consuming additional resources of the system 2- Wife V 1.0 install without the root knowledge, a dangerous monitoring software that will prevent to start maintance tasks like PokerNight, BeerParty or FootballTV 3- Wife V 1.0 will autoinstall several programs in /usr/local/bin/family-in-law that will reduce the funcionality of the whole system 4- If you try to install new programs like Lover V1.1 in the same filesystem, Wife V 1.0 will delete /dev/money and perform an auto-uninstall. Then Lover V1.1 will refuse to be installed due to insufficient systems resources 5- Even if you install Lover V1.1 in another filesystem, delete manually enviroment variables like LIPSTICK of PARFUM because if they are set will cllide with Wife V 1.0 6- Make sure of configure Wife V 1.0 with --no-network option because it has been reported that eventually Wife V 1.0 can look for another hosts with more resources Paco Gracia Director Técnico Amira Sistemas
forwarding the subject of an incoming mail to another address
Hello, I use qmail+vpopmail+qmailadmin. What I am trying to do is to set up an email account [EMAIL PROTECTED] so when it receives a new mail, it extracts the subject and forwards it to another mail address [EMAIL PROTECTED] (mail to sms gateway). I have a .qmail-user file with the following line (that works in the console): | /bin/grep -e From -e Subject | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject [EMAIL PROTECTED] but this is what I am getting 969880946.483051 delivery 193: deferral: qmail-inject:_fatal:_read_error/ 969880946.483064 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20 What am I doing wrong?

xinetd and qmail-pop3d
Hello, I have been trying to set up qmail and xinetd. No problem with the smtp part, it works perfectly... but I was unable to set up qmail-pop3d correctly. Anyone has experience with this? Is there any disadvantage to use xinetd with qmail? Thanks in advance Paco Gracia Director Técnico Amira Sistemas
Re: amira.es looping
Hello, Sorry to everyone. A misconfigured Lotus Domino Server has been replying to all the messages that came in from the external qmail server during last night. Paco Gracia Director Técnico Amira Sistemas
Re: very slow POPand SMTP authorization
Hello, I had the same problem. The delay was produced because the pop3 authentification was using identd throught the port 113 and that port wasn't open in the firewall rules. You either can open that port in your firewall (betwwen you DMZ and internal net shouldn't be a security issue) or disable the use of identd in the tcpserver's call to pop3. Hope it helps.

Re: qmail and MRTG
The one present at http://x42.com/qmail/ are still only for cyclog so you should definitively have a chance. Does the script run from crontab have reading rights? /magnus The mail logs are owned by qmaill user. I ran the script from qmaill and also from root with no luck at all. Even when I use the command line qmail-mrtg-concurrency /var/log/qmail I got 0 0. This is how cyclog is invoked... 502 ?S 0:00 supervise /var/lock/qmail qmail-start ./Maildir/ accustamp qmail 503 ?S 0:00 cyclog -s 100 -n 10 /var/log/qmail Any idea?

qmail and MRTG
Hello, I'm using a couple scripts that should push qmail logs into MRTG but I am having no luck. All I got is 0 0 all the time. One of the scripts is from prodigysolutions and the other from x42.com. Anyway the only working part I have is the queue size but nothing else works. I use cyclog. Anyone can help me please? Paco Gracia Technical Director Amira Sistemas

Port 113 and POP3
Hello everyone, Is there any way of setting up qmail-pop3d so the authentification doesn't need a query through port 113? Thanks Paco Gracia Director Técnico Amira Sistemas
RE: help with strange problem
to add I have discovered that the users that are working are in /var/control/users/assign what updates this file? Maybe the problem is there. Check the entries in this file to be: +domain.tld:user:uid:gid:directory where Maildir is:-:: for example... my account in my domain would be something like +amira.es:pgracia:500:500:/home/pgracia:-:: Anyway the reference to mailbox in the error message is weird...

POP3 weird problem
Hello everyone, I have a server running Linux RH6.2 with qmail,vpopmail, qmailadmin. I'm using qmail-pop3d and Maildir as delivery method. Everything was working fine until yesterday a guy on my company updated the kernel of that machine and fixed a small problem with a firewall, opening port 113. From then, everytime the pop3 server server starts I got a hard error message before the usual message. Besides the authentification stopped working... now I got -ERR This user has no $HOME/Maildir when I try to read the mail via pop3. The smtp server and the webmail works ok. I recompile qmail but nothing changed. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks in advance, Paco Gracia Amira Sistemas
