Re: recordio
You guess wrong -- that puts recordio as the port number for tcpserver to listen on. recordio should go immediately before qmail-smtpd. [...] This it? Why don't you try it and see? Wouldn't that have been easier than mailing back to the list and asking if it will work? Why dont you stop being such an asshole and either help or shutup. You've got a lot of nerve there, dipwit, to call Charles an asshole. He is probably the #1 contributor to this list these days, and calling him names isn't going to make you any friends here. adam, I take your point. My email was badly targeted. I have a member of this list for over a year, and I have not contribited to it much, but when I have contribited I have tried to help people...and not pour scorn on them. Regardless what anybody says, this list is full of people who are more interested in showing off and not helping. With this said, I get a lot of good advice and help from this list and I took a decision this week to try to be more active on this list to help others.and hopefully people will help me with my issues. I do not suppose to be a qmail guru, but I have some skills that I can pass on. I agree that Charles has helped a large number of people over the year here...some would say that he is a profilic poster. Butwhy is he so short when people ask real questions??

Re: readproctitle service errors?
What software have you installed on your server? None. Just a basic OpenBSD2.9 install. qmail is the first thing I am trying to setup. If you are not familiar with installing an OS from scratch then it might be easier to start again. That's what I just did. I'll do it again if I have to. Is tcpserver supposed to be running even before I begin my qmail installation? Maybe on OpenBSD it is not on my default. Try to get the OS installed...and test it fully. Then install qmail when you are happy that nothing is wrong.

Have the qmail* and alias UIDs changed at all since you installed
qmail?
Second, what's the content of the .qmail-* files in /var/qmail/alas?
I'm looking through the code to see where it looks up users, and I
really
don't see how with a valid alias account it could return that error.
Some other questions:
What OS/hardware?
Is your system running stock qmail, or are there patches?
Was it compiled on your server or installed from an RPM or pkg?
Was it compiled on one of your servers, but not the one it's running
on?
Really, all the detail you can give would help.

Qmail
I have a small problem with something I'm trying to do. I have an old system that I want to upgrade 400+ users and Slackware kernel 2.0.33 The new system with all the users added Slackware kernel 2.2.13 How do I move the old mail from the old system to the new and get it to take on the user IDs etc. I'm using the Maildir setup. The new system starts with user IDs much higher than what are on the old system. Could be a little painful to move them one at a time and chown each user. Thanks Bob Ross

Re: smtp on a specific IP
Thanks to all that helped. After seeing what would be involved, I think I will just report from the log files. Thanks again.
Re: smtp on a specific IP
I don't think that will help me yet (Maybe I am being really stupid or missing something) How does qmail know that mail that is from domain mail.domain1.com is to be delivered on IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and that mail from mail.domain2.com is to be delivered using IP yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy. At the point that qmail is sending out mail via smtp it no longer knows what domain it is send out mail for does it? There has to be some kind of config file that tells qmail-smtpd what domains to send for. I would expect something like this would have to be done. A file called smtpddomain1 mail.domain1.com Another file called smtpdotherdomains mail.domain2.com mail.domain3.com ...etc (I know that the above doesn't exist - just dreaming) Another thought would be if I could use the domain name on the program line as below. (That would be a pain to have to add a new smtp file for every domain that I want to be unique) #!/bin/sh QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaild` NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild` MAXSMTPD=`/bin/cat /var/qmail/control/concurrencyincoming` exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 200 /usr/local/bin/tcpserver \ -vPHR -c $MAXSMTPD -x /var/qmail/cdb/smtp.cdb \ -u $QMAILDUID -g $NOFILESGID mail.domain1.com smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 21 ^^ run file for mail2.example.com: #!/bin/sh QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaild` NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild` MAXSMTPD=`/bin/cat /var/qmail/control/concurrencyincoming` exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 200 /usr/local/bin/tcpserver \ -vPHR -c $MAXSMTPD -x /var/qmail/cdb/smtp.cdb \ -u $QMAILDUID -g $NOFILESGID mail.domain2.com smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 21 ^^

I see that I can tell it what IP to send out on for all domains, but how do I tell mail.domain1.com to use IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and mail.domain2.com to use yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy That is the part I don't understand.
smtp on a specific IP
My server is running vpopmail. I also have Multiple IP address' aliased off of one network card. I can do traffic analysis through my router by IP address and this works fine for incoming mail. The problem that I have is the outgoing mail all is going out through one IP. I need to be able to charge my customers for traffic.

/usr/local/qmailanalog/bin/matchup | /usr/local/qmailanalog/bin/zoverall
To list the details of all the users ont he system:
awk '{$1=;$2=;$3=;$4=;$5=;print}' /var/log/maillog | cat |
/usr/local/qmailanalog/bin/matchup | /usr/local/qmailanalog/bin/zrecipients
To list all the people who have sent emails to our customers:

Qmail Scanner
Hi List!
We have been using the qmail-scanner patch for a few weeks and we are very
happy with it.
Currently our system only uses one AV scanner the sophos product, and I want
to use a second AV scanner in parrallel. The second scanner I want to use is
the Trend Micro scanner.
The "qmail-scanner-queue.pl" file has a the following line:
@scanner_array=("sweep_scanner");
This is where it calls another function which actually calls the scanner.
Does anybody know how to edit this so that two scanners are used?
Is it:
@scanner_array=("sweep_scanner iscan_scanner");
or
@scanner_array=("sweep_scanner" "iscan_scanner");
Etc...
I can get them to scan independently...but cant get them to scan together!
Thanks,
Ross Cooney

RE: Qmail Scanner
Hi Brett,
I suppose I can answer most of your questions...
The qmail-scanner tar file contains a few files with the prefix "sub-" these
contain stuff you needI used the one "sub-iscan.pl" for the Trend micro
scanner, but you have to choose the one that suits you and your AV scanner.
Apend this code to the end of your "qmail-scanner-queue.pl" file.
I made a few changes to this codeI added the following lines:
$ENV{'SAV_IDE'} = '';
delete $ENV{'SAV_IDE'} if ($ENV{'SAV_IDE'} eq "");
and I also edited the following line:
$DD=`$iscan_binary -za -a -u -nl $iscan_verbose $scandir/$file_id
$extra_file 21`;
I have listed the fill addition at the end of this email [1].
Then in the "qmail-scanner-queue.pl" file edit some of the variablessuch
as the path to the scanner [2] and also the scanner array variable[3].
Then run the "tail -f qmail-queue.log" command and debug till your heart is
broken!
As a newby I was very happy with the results!

You will need to reinstall Q-S. I specifically wrote Q-S so that it

rebuild the app with support for Trend.
Hey Jason
We are looking at running a second virus scanner with our Q-S soon as
well. The only thing is that we have MAJORLY modified Q-S to work in
our environment (changed the messages that go out to people, depending
on the extensions of the files and who specifically is sending the
e-mail). We can't really just `reinstall' Q-S since it would require
hours of work to make it work again the way we want it to. Are you

Migrating from sendmail to qmail... help
Hi, I am a dial-up user currently running sendmail and am planning to migrate to qmail. This is my current setup: Outgoing Mail: * clients either run sendmail for connect to port 25 and send mail. Sendmail queues the mail but does not send immediately. * every 10 minutes I have a cron job which detects if I am online, and if so calls sendmail -q to flush the outgoing mail queue. Incoming Mail: * The same cron job runs fetchmail which forwards messages on to sendmail. Sendmail then calls procmail via my .forward file to filter mail. I have installed qmail alongside sendmail and have tested it according to the install documents. However, I do not know how to stop it sending mails to remote addresses every time it gets a message. How can I make qmail replicate the behaviour I described above? Also: what issues are there with fetchmail? I only use it to filter mailing list messages, so is there another package which is more suited to qmail for this task? Thanks for any help, Ross Burton

SMTP stopping

Qmail 1.03
Something I have not noticed in many years has started the last few weeks. Qmail has been getting very slow at responding. I also noticed in the logs that it is handling a lot of email that can't be returned(spam.) Is there a way to clear out the old mail if this is the cause. Customers have been receiving a lot of errors that the server has not responded in 60 seconds do they want to wait or stop. Thanks Bob Ross Thanks Bob Ross
server load?
Hi, I noticed that the load on my qmail server was running higher than I expected to, although I don't know should be normal for a qmail mail server. Perhaps someone here can tell me if this is normal, or if I should look at fixing something? I haven't yet applied the Russ Nelson's big-todo patch, would it clean up some of this stuff? I've got qmail 1.03, vpopmail 4.8.2 (yup, I should upgrade) and qmailadmin 0.34 running on a RedHat 6.2 system using tcpserver (not inetd). There are only around 30 virtual domains on this server, and it only allows relaying for our office mail, our virtual domains are not sending through this server at all. I have read the Life with qmail document, although it's entirely possible I missed the page that tells me the answer. ===TOP OUTPUT=== 45 processes: 42 sleeping, 3 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped CPU states: 55.9% user, 16.7% system, 0.0% nice, 27.2% idle Mem: 127952K av, 124660K used, 3292K free, 4016K shrd, 55848K buff Swap: 265032K av, 4732K used, 260300K free 32496K cached PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT LIB %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND 16756 vpopmail 12 0 22436 21M 280 S 0 59.9 17.5 0:03 qmail-inject 16757 qmailq 9 0 328 328 260 R 0 5.7 0.2 0:00 qmail-queue 16753 vpopmail 0 0 500 500 376 S 0 0.5 0.3 0:00 vdelivermail 16677 root 1 0 1024 1024 824 R 0 0.3 0.8 0:00 top 14791 root 0 0 576 176 112 R 0 0.1 0.1 0:00 sshd 16754 vpopmail 0 0 756 756 628 S 0 0.1 0.5 0:00 sh 1 root 0 0 108 5244 S 0 0.0 0.0 0:04 init ===SNIP=== Thanks for any help.

Qmail 1.03
I'm going to try and ask this the best I can. I already have Qmail with TCP running, and has been doing so for almost three years. I'm getting ready to change domain names. The questoin is I want to add the new domain righ now so that users will be able to collect mail sent to either domain to make the transiction easier. Do I just add the new domain in the same locations as the old domain under the /var/qmail/control files? to allow mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to show up in the same mailbox?. This would allow me to setup the users much easier than just droping one and dealing with all the support calls that will be generated. Thanks Bob Ross
Slow Mail Delivery
I recently was running low on disk space on the my var partition. To solve the problem, I moved all of the contents over to another partition on the same drive that had more space on it (usr). After moving everything over I made it so that var wouldn't mount on its on partition and then started up in single user mode and built a link to the subdirectory on the usr partition. /var -- /usr/rootvar. Why would this be slowing things down? I takes from 5 to 10 minutes to deliver a local email. It never used to.

I have just installed Qmail on a new Slackware 7.0 system. I have not worked with 7.0, and don't know what is causing this error. I have installed qmail on several other system and have never had this problem.

The real problem is when I try to check or collect the mail for this server I get the following error.

Qmail .qmail file.
I have a question and have never seen it asked or answered. I would like to set up a filter in the .qmail file that is in every user /home/userdir on my system. I use a badmailfrom filter for the spam that each user maintains, but I would like to setup a filter to only allow mail from certian domains or users in a allowfromfile. Should be the oposite of denyfrom but me not knowing programing for qmail have been hitting a lot of dead ends. any help would be great. Thanks in advance. Bob Ross

tcpserver
I'm running Linux Slackware 2.0.36, Qmail 1.03, this is a mail only server. Qmail is installed and running. A couple month's ago I tried to install tcpserver and with the help from many in this group it would still not work at all, even when it said it was installed. I have given it a rest and would like to try again. I downloaded the release again .84 extracted it in it's own directory ran make and then make install setup. In the inetd.conf I have removed the smtp line and replaced it with: tcpserver -u 7791 -g 2108 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd when I restarted the server I tried to send mail to it and would receive the error in the logs unable to establish an smtp connection.

tcpserver/checkpassword
I'm running Linux Slackware 2.0.35, I have been running Qmail on three other machines now just over a year. Right now I run Qmail mail from inetd and had been working great. I only wanted to install tcpserver because of the spam filtering I could do with it. I installed Qmail 1.03(tarball), and tcpserver 0.84(tarball), I have in my /etc/rc.d/rc.local file tcpserver -u 1001 -g 101 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb tcpserver 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup dns1.surftheusa.com \ /bin/checkpasswd /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3 Maildir I installed checkpassword just as the INSTALL file said. make, make setup check It said that's it, then I ran the tests just as it said and it shows it works. Now the problems I'm having. All mail does get delivered when I send to the host. When I try to check the mail with Outlook Express, or Netscape mail, even Netscape with X windows the auth fails and asks me to enter the password again. I did re-did the password three times to make sure and it still fails on all mail programs. Thanks in advance Bob Ross
tcpserver/password
I made a change to the spelling of password thanks for catching that. When I telnet to localhost 110 I get the +OK 110.numbers.domain name then I enter quit to get out. I also found that tcpserver does not start from the rc.local file, I have to run it manually, I did check and rc.local is called from the rc.M file that has qmail in it. Qmail does start. After I run rc.local I can ps aux | grep tcpserver and see the two processes running, with the only difference is that I'm loged in remotley and it is showing that id as starting it. I loked in as root and it does the same thing, so I don;t think this could be a problem because it still doesn't start from a re-boot. Even after changing the spelling of checkpassword I still get the auth failed. I have looked in the Makefile and can not find where to tell checkpassword that I'm using shadow passwords. Thanks Bob Ross
