qmail-lspawn / qmail-local
Hi all, 1. I need to get qmail-lspawn to deliver into /var/qmail/alias/local/Maildir/new/ 2. My footer program will identify the type of message, add the appropricate footer and feed the mail into /var/qmail/alias/local.footer/Maildir/new/ 3. I need next to feed the mail from /var/qmail/alias/local.footer/Maildir/new/ into qmail-local for local delevery. Step 2 works quite ok on my remote mail, What I need help with is step 1 and step 3. It might also be an idea to change qmail-lspawn to be some kind of wrapper, and feed into the real qmail-lspawn. Help is much appriciated thanks in advance Mettavihari Sri Lanka.

pop3 response delay !
hello friends, i m using a redhat 7.1 system, with qmail installed on it. qmail is working perfectly. The pop3 clients like outlook express takes a long time to connect and respond. also when i telnet to this server on port 110 or 25 or to port 23 it takes a long time for the prompt to appear. (on the local, the prompt comes immediately) my DNS is working correctly. The reverse resolution is also correct.

Relaying problem
Hi, Sorry, in advance if this is a little off-topic but.. I have two qmail installations, one is my main system with POP and SqWebmail and suchlike. Its been running for agaes and works great. I recently set up a second totally basic qmail installation intented for sending only for a particular project. The return address for bounces and replies is an address on the main server. Problem. I am getting a lot of bounces that from other services that accuse my system of relaying. Why are they refusing my messages? I suspect it is something to do with having a reply address on a different server. Anybody know for sure? Cheers.
Relaying problem
Mmmm... A typical bounce message looks like this... Hi. This is the qmail-send program at mms-research3.marketingms.com. I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: 64.75.34.135 does not like recipient. Remote host said: 554 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Recipient address rejected: Relay access denied Giving up on 64.75.34.135. I am sending out several thousand messages a day (no I'm not a spammer - just a market research company, not 'quite' the same thing). Mostly it is working OK. I was concerned as I literally never seen this bounce message before. Rgds..

Attachment blocking
Hi, Anybody think of a way of blocking ALL email attachments to a particular virtual domain. My other domains should receive them as normal.

smtp Daemon!
I am running qmail on redhat 7.1. qmail is working fine. outlook is used to fetch mails via pop3. when i restart the server, qmail smtpd gives a problem. while sending a outlook says connecting and waits without any action. when i telnet to port 25 on the server it again dosent reply. when i do a ps, i get see more than 1 smtpd running. (the number varies, some times 3 some times 4 ) when i replaced the file /var/qmail/service/smtpd/run (rights 755, and sticky bit set for smtpd directory) what could be the problem and how do i resolve it.

fastforward says ok but qmail says sorry, no mailbox...
Hi all,
I'm having trouble getting forwarding to work. I have a
virtual domain for which I want all mail to use the aliases
database.
versions:
qmail-1.03
fastforward-0.51
settings:
qmail/control/rcpthosts:
tmpsj.org
qmail/control/virtualdomains
tmpsj.org:alias-virtuals
qmail/alias/.qmail-virtuals-default
| fastforward -d /etc/aliases.cdb
&postmaster
When I test fastforward using the aliases database from the
command line:
env [EMAIL PROTECTED] fastforward -n
/etc/aliases.cdb
it returns:
from
to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
which is correct;
however, sending mail to that address:
mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
bounces returning with an error:
sorry, no mailbox here by that name #5.1.1
log file:
/var/log/qmail/send/current
...starting delivery 1 ... to local
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
delivery 1 ... failure: Sorry, no mailbox ...
I think the logfile tells me that the rule in
qmail/control/virtualdomains works and that the message is
making it into qmail-local.
This seems like it should be simple but I've been on this
for a couple of days now. I've RTFMed and been through lwq,
the faqs and the mail archives and can't figure out what I'm
missing.
Any suggestions would be very welcome : -)
Thanks,
Mike Wright

How to copy outoging messages?
Can qmail manager each outgoing email? if yes,then how to manager each email account that will send a copy of message to his/her manager?
Re: How to copy outoging messages?
I have about 50 users and they are in 5 groups. I want to copy each group user outgoing message to their manager like a cc /bcc message. I already compile qmail with extra.h. and see the FAQ of administration part, but I still don't know how to make each email message in individual files like a single queue. Moreover, I think it is more convenience for me to setup a qmail can copy all incoming and outgoing email to a email account like forward. Thank you for attentions.

Sort maildir and send smallest first
Hi all, I am running a free popmail server using Autoturn and getting my mail via a dialup link from my mail server metta.lk to col7.metta.lk and things are working well for the larst year or so. I find that qmail is taking my maildir and sending I would like to have qmail changed to do a sort mailbox by seize and send the smallest first. My reason is that I might have someone with a large 1-2 MB attachment to be sent and I do not like to send that during daytime when phone charges are very high, but would like to send smaller messages first and then I let cron cut the connection after x minutes. The larger messages could then go at night where the x minutes is set to a higher value. I would much appriciate if someone could tell me if this is possible and could help me with a hack on the source files to send smallest first. I am presently using qmail-smtpd and do not mind changing to qmail-qmtpd as that is what is recommended for faster transfer. Thank you in advance Jacob

Fortunately or unfortunately I am not able to generate a patch like that.
If someone would like to help with a patch then I would like to test it
out, but writing it, that I could not do.
What I have done for the time being and it works me as a stop gap till
further things are developed.

Hi all, I have a strange problem on my serial mail, It was working well and now suddenly it gives this error on my client side (narada.col7.metta.lk) #!/bin/sh PATH=/var/qmail/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin export PATH /usr/local/bin/maildirsmtp ~alias/pppdir alias-ppp- 204.143.107.46 dhamma.metta.lk serialsmtp: fatal: network read error: timed out serialsmtp: fatal: network read error: timed out serialsmtp: fatal: network read error: timed out maildirserial: fatal: making no progress, giving up in /var/log/messages == Aug 1 21:42:47 narada identd[1872]: Connection from dhamma.metta.lk Aug 1 21:42:47 narada identd[1872]: from: 204.143.107.46 ( dhamma.metta.lk ) for: 1057, 25 Aug 1 21:42:47 narada identd[1872]: Returned: 1057 , 25 : NO-USER Aug 1 21:43:02 narada identd[1873]: Connection from dhamma.metta.lk Aug 1 21:43:02 narada identd[1873]: from: 204.143.107.46 ( dhamma.metta.lk ) for: 1058, 25 Aug 1 21:43:02 narada identd[1873]: Returned: 1058 , 25 : NO-USER Suggestions are very welcome Jacob

Hi Dave,
My script to activate the sending of mail over the serial link
is like this:
Please let me know if you see any errors.
/mail-out
---
#!/bin/sh
PATH=/var/qmail/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin
export PATH
/usr/local/bin/maildirsmtp /var/qmail/alias/pppdir alias-ppp- \
204.143.107.46 metta.lk
--
when I execute the script it gives the below error
[root@narada /]# ./mail-out
/usr/local/bin/maildirsmtp: syntax error near unexpected token
`execve("/var/qmail/alias/pppdir",'
/usr/local/bin/maildirsmtp: /usr/local/bin/maildirsmtp: line 1:
`execve("/var/qmail/alias/pppdir", ["/var/qmail/alias/pppdir", "alias-ppp-",
"metta.lk"], [/* 18 vars */]) = 0'
[root@narada /]#
Any hints where I should look ?
there are no errors in /var/log/messages
nor in /var/log/qmail/
thanking you for your replies.

Hi Dave and others,
I must appologize for the below error messages
I had done a real foolish thing and overwritten my maildirsmtp
binary.
It works again.

Case Sensitive
Hi all, I have qmail working quite satisfactory with help from lwq and all of you. I have now made 2 accounts [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] and have now found that mail to the account [EMAIL PROTECTED] goes to the account [EMAIL PROTECTED] Is qmail not case sensitive ? or is it linux that is doing this ? Thanks Jacob

Hi qmailers I neet to make a Webpage that can be sent by clicking a "Send" buttom. just like you find in Hotmail.com and so many other places. Which program do I call in qmail for this to be done. Does any of you have a sample page that you would like to help me with. Thanks in advance Jacob

Re: autoturn
Hi all,
I had a small mishap with a hacker
who played a bit with my mail server. the result was a full reinstall,
the best I could do to get rid of any programs installed
In my setup I have 2 machines which use AutoTURN to send mail to my
subdomain.
I have done the setup using Dave's advice and his "lwq"
but this time when I install I must have missed something in the serial
setup as the AutoTURN will not work
Help is much appriciated.

Qmail and content filtering?
Hi Folks, I'm looking for the best place to insert a content filter into the qmail process for inbound mail. I need to filter inbound SMTP for only certain domains by routing them through an application we wrote. I then need to be able to deliver the message locally or remotely. It looks like in between qmail-queue and qmail-send is the best place. Opinions? Lance Ware WareNet http://www.ware.net/ 949-367-9862 949-348-8668 fax Lance Ware (E-mail 2).vcf

550 cannot route to sender
Hi all, I have set up Qmail on "metta.lk" (204.143.107.46) and use autoturn to get my mail to "col7.metta.lk" (172.16.1.1) Everything works quite well. To some domains I get messages like the below returned by Mailer Daemon. Is this a DNS problem on my machine or is it because I am on local IPs If you have the time please do a "dig" at my server to see it I have anything wrong in the DNS. it works all well from my side, but perhaps not from outside. A suggestion on how to overcome it would be much appreciated Jacob - 130.88.200.93 failed after I sent the message.

Since Notes Release 4.5 there will be Servertasks for smtp, pop3, imap and ldap. Notes is also able to use a vendor-specific service on Port 1352 for replication of Notes-Databases and the delivery of mail. If your customer uses this services Notes will do all of the dialup stuff (not NT) and the ISP must also host a Notesserver (for collecting and sending the mail). So check that your customer has configured and started an Notes smtp-mta for generic smtp mailservices. A Problem regarding this solution would be that Notes will send all outgoing mail directly with queuing it for a later delivery! It would be a good idea using a small Linux-Box at the customers side running qmail (as mail-proxy), and for dail-up/serialmail. Perhaps you should also add an HTTP-Proxy as special service for new customers ;-> - Roland

I am a Buddhist monk, and my daily duty is to encourage persons not to "kill" "steal" etc. so how can I run unlicensed software (double morals, isn't it) I run a number of "free mail servers" in Sri Lanka, all of them have Linux and qmail, but we also need Windows as most persons are only used to Windows. Sri Lanka is not a very rich country and we cannot afford very much, that is how I am thinking of buying some second hand licensed software. People are upgrading to other systems. Many persons on Linux machines would have licenses, and would perhaps sell them to me. Perhaps others could put me onto some place where I could get it without having to pay for New Software.

footnote inject on server
Dear "David Harris" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Sorry for the rather late reply to your help on my mail footer.
I run Redhat 6.0 and am using Dave's LWQ for my setup.
I did the patch to qmail as per your email but I get no footer on the
mail. Your advice on where to look for errors is much appriciated.
I put the perl script in this file:
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd-wrapper
--
#!/bin/bash
ulimit -d 1024
/var/qmail/bin/footer-add.pl
exec /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd ${1+"$@"}
---
Is that the right place for it
or should it be in the Dave's startup script.

need help with POP3...
Hi, I just installed qmail for the first time and I am having problems finalizing the installation. I checked the FAQs and they helped me solve some of the issues, but there is still one that is bugging me and I bet you it's a stupid one... I am trying to use Maildir for mail delivery. I created one test user with the /Maildir/ architecture and he receives mail allright. if I do a "ls -FR" I see the following: [jcrespo@mail jcrespo]$ ls -FR Maildir/ Maildir/: cur/ new/ tmp/ Maildir/cur: Maildir/new: 957123822.1010.mail.stgo.cl 957124467.1133.mail.stgo.cl Maildir/tmp: so the mails do arrive... But I can't seem to pick them up!! Both pine and "mail" work with a single file.. as does POP3 So when ever i check the mailbox remotely via port 110 it tells me that the mailbox is empty. The MAIL env. variable is MAIL=/home/jcrespo/Maildir I thought I had it configured at one point.. before I killed sendmail for good, that Maildir was actually a file, not a directory. Also.. Since I have to execute makemaildir for each new user.. is there a way that I can "tie" that command with uesradd? i am using redhat 6.1. Thanks, marcelo
Got local mail working.. not remote.
Hello, I am using qmail with Mailbox instead of Maildir. Sending and chekcing mail locally using elm, mail, pine etc works great. But when I connect via ipop3d it always tells me that I have no mail. It is reading from /var/spool/mail as oposed /home/user/Mailbox. So I was going to install qmail-pop but reading the manuals it seems as if that is ONLY for Maildir scenarios. what did I miss. i know it's something stupid cuz I think I had it working a few hours ago. thanks, marcelo
send mail to remote hosts...
Hello, I have come down to my last obstacle. Sending mail remotely. The machine name where I isntalled qmail is mail.stgo.cl, stgo.cl resolved to another IP.

qmail slowing down after a while (was: NFS slowness with MAILDIR)
Hi, any results on the below questions from the qmail list? I feel like I'm experiencing the very same behaviour in my test environment. But IMHO not necessarilly related to NFS or Solaris (same with linux). Both POP3 and SMTP seem to be affected. TIA /ekki --- From: Curtis Generous Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2000 20:12:46 -0500 (EST) --- We have several sparcs (solaris 2.6) sharing user's maildirs via NFS on a Netapp 760 filer. We have noticed that when we first boot the machines, we get great performance. After the first 24 hours though, the same # of users cause the load on these machines to slow down substantially. By the 2nd day, these machines feel like molasses, and the only way to fix this is a reboot. The bottleneck appears to be NFS related. We run NFS vers 2/UDP between the SPARCS and the NetApp. Has anyone seen this kind of behavior before while running qmail?

qmail footer
Hi all,
I run a local free pop server
and would like to insert a footer on the mail.
I have followed Dave's LWQ to the letter in my setup
and qmail works fine for about a year.
I tried to use the patch for inserting a footer in qmail
written by David Harris.
I have compiled qmail with the patch and it works OK,

Virus Filtering "in front" of mail server
Hi Folks, I'd dearly love to add Virus and additional spam filtering to our mail systems. Our problem is, many moons ago we hacked vmailmgr to allow our customers web based control of email for their domains, etc. So we now have multiple servers running Qmail 1.01, hacked vmailmgr, pop before SMTP, and our admin web interface. We would really like to scrap and start over, but migration for 150+ domains/users would be quite painful. Hence I'm trying to work up a system to put "in front" of our existing mail servers that will do virus filtering, and perhaps more spam filtering than just what's available from the RBL. The two main issues I see are: Synchronizing the domains to accept/forward mail for. Authentication IPs/users who are allowed to relay. It seems like rsync, plus perhaps some scripts could accomplish this, but I wanted to throw my problem out there and see if others have had similar issues. Lance
a problem about hostname/virtual domain
Hi all, I have installed qmail, sqwebmail, vpopmail, vqsignup. My machine name is "mail.metta.lk" The installation has been done on a Redhat 7.0 and sqwebmail is in the dir /home/vpopmail/ I have generated the domain name "metta.lk" in the dir below using the given program. /home/vpopmail/domains/metta.lk/ I can login to the webserver, create accounts on the server, and send mail from the server. But the server does not deliver mail to the virtual domain "metta.lk" The MX has been set correctly in the dns and mail is going to mail.metta.lk but returned. see message below. I have a feeling that the conflict is because the domain name "metta.lk" and the virtual domain name "metta.lk" is the same, and I have not told qmail correctly that it should deliver incoming mail addressed to "metta.lk" to a virtual domain, it instead tries to deliver that mail to itself.

I have tried several ways
I also just tried the setup suggested by you
but mail is still not going to domain.
below are the files /var/qmail/control/
-rw-r--r--1 root root9 Nov 28 11:34 defaultdomain
metta.lk
-rw-r--r--1 root root 34 Dec 12 14:05 locals

localhost
mail.metta.lk
metta.lk
-rw-r--r--1 root root 18 Dec 8 18:33 virtualdomains

Did the spammer run a Rumpelstilksken on your system (for a in `cat /usr/dict/words` ; do cat spam | mail $[EMAIL PROTECTED] ; done), or did the spammer attempt to use you as a relay? Or do you have so many users that when someone sends mail to all of them at once, it kills your servers?

Actually, you should have /usr/sbin/sendmail (and, while you are at it /usr/lib/sendmail) both be links to /var/qmail/bin/sendmail. This way, legacy apps and scripts which pipe to sendmail will still work. > I cant get qmail to listen to port 25, even if qmail is running..

Qmail needs another tool, such as inetd (ugh) or tcpserver (ucspi-tcp) to listen on port 25. > Is /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject the script that takes over sendmails old > jobs? Sorta. qmail-inject is called by /var/qmail/bin/sendmail as a local program you pipe outgoing mail to. Sendmail is one big app that can, depending on its mood: * Listen on port 25 * Update the alaias database * Pipe local mail to remote machines * etc. Qmail, on the other hand, is a series of small apps, which makes it a lot leaner, faster, and more secure than sendmail. Very useful if you get the kind of mail traffic, say, egroups gets. - Sam
The joy of Qmail
As a personal note, I apologize for my last posting chewing out someone for sending an unsubscribe request to the list. It was a personal email which I inadvertently posted to the list. For anyone wondering how to get off this list, just send a friendly email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or send a rude note about how terrible Qmail is. Doesn't matter what you say, as long as you say it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>Well my answer to this is "don't use qmail"<< This note from Patrick intrigued me. It intrigued me because I remember myself being so frustrated with Qmail, I cursed and said "The only reason I am using Qmail is because it is too hard to switch over to something else." There were times when I wanted to scream in frustration. One exmaple: What happens to qmail-smtpd if qmail-queue does not have the correct suid permissions? The helpful error message 'unable to open qq' comes up. I finally resolved this by reading the source code of qmail, which, to address another of Patrick's concerns, was fairly easy to read. After using Qmail for four years, I have gotten to the point that I know the big gotchas. (The other big gotcha is that qmail binaries have the uids of the qmail users hard coded in them.) I hope Patrick finds what he is looking for. He mentioned Postfix--maybe this will meet his needs better. I know that Qmail, whicle being very powerful, is not the easiest MTA to get used to. My main qualm with Postfix is that it is not flexible enough to work with the program I wrote and have up at http://kiwispam.sourceforge.net. Postfix only has a single "umbrella" or "default" address per virtualdomain, and does not have "plus addressing". - Sam

[1] While not quite on the same scale as hotmail/AOL, egroups.com is not exactly a low-traffice mail server. egroups has a single incoming mail exchanger, which runs Qmail. This is one of the reasons I like Qmail--it can scale up to just about any level of mail traffic out there. - Sam [1] Qmail's fingerprint is that it accepts the MAIL FROM: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the SMTP session being shortened to MAIL <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

It was nice that Qmail kept the message in the queue that long, since the message would have not been delivered to him if I was using a MTA that gives up after five days. The problem with "there is a delay in delivering the message"-type mails is that the average user never takes the time to read those messages, and thinks that they mean that the mail has bounced. - Sam

I think we have caught hotmail.com in the act of changing over from QMail to some other email system. mail.hotmail.com was running Qmail just yesterday, though all of the other machines were running whatever it is they are running now. I know that Hotmail, according to qmail.org, until recently, used Qmail for the outgoing mail. I will make some wild speculations as to why it is Hotmail switched over. My speculations: * This new mail system may have a lot of spam-protection built in.

Hi all, I have tried to implement adding a footer to my outgoing email messages the messages are standard text files with lines over 100 letters When trying to send the mail out using serialsmtp I get the following errors. serialsmtp: fatal: SMTP cannot transfer messages with partial final lines serialsmtp: fatal: SMTP cannot transfer messages with partial final lines serialsmtp: fatal: SMTP cannot transfer messages with partial final lines maildirserial: fatal: making no progress, giving up What is ment by partial final lines ? Is there a max length of a line in the email format that I have to use for the footer. I notice that the lines in html files are broken with =(eol) and then going on to the next line. Please point me to some info on this. with best regards Mettavihari Sri Lanka.

footer in email
Hi all, We have managed to implement adding a footer to our outgoing email messages and would like to put up the program source somewhere for qmail. The program is written in Pascal, and is written for /Maildir/ and we implement it with auto-turn. It scans the email and 1 Identify the text component and put a message at the end of the text part 2 Identify the html component and put a message at the end of the html part The footer is in 2 separate text files which can be easily customized We have made cron change the random messages We can put up a web-page with the source code in it and a small how-to implement it. Please let me know what to do. with best regards Mettavihari Sri Lanka.

To: =?iso-8859-1?Q?Uta=2C_Alfred_Leimb=F6ck?= <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ^^^ The mail is returned with the below message, > > This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out. > > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1) but a copy of the mail sent is actually also going out the the user, or at lest I can see it on my machine waiting to go out.
