Re: Qmail IMAP4 for Maildir - best one??
Thank you for such a wonderfully nice short response. I'm sorry if I sound like a jerk, but I had read several were out there - and I had read on here some people complaining about slowness and some moving from courier to UW, and some moving from UW to courier. I HAD searched the archives - most of the ones that had to do with opinions of IMAP that I saw were several months old - as you know software can change fast with new features and better stability. Reading the base faq (which I DID DO): 5.2.4. imap-maildir David R. Harris has cleaned up the patch that adds maildir support to the University of Washington IMAP server and documented the installation process. See http://www.davideous.com/imap-maildir/. 5.2.5. Courier-IMAP Sam Varshavchik has written an IMAP server that supports maildir mailboxes only. It's available from http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/. And I did not read *your* FAQ because I do not use QMail-LDAP - actually I use a combination of sendmail and qmail for the mail solution, so forgive me for not wanting to make a switch to move everything into an LDAP style solution. So, before you jump down someones throat for something you ASSUME (ie: not doing homework) - check first. -Tony - Original Message - From: Henning Brauer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, July 30, 2001 3:33 PM Subject: Re: Qmail IMAP4 for Maildir - best one?? > On Sun, Jul 29, 2001 at 09:35:05PM -0500, Tony Harris wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I'm looking at using a webmail program that requires the use of MAPv4 - I > > see there are various imap packages available that works with qmail - which > > is really the most stable and seems to work the best with IMAP? > > How many seconds did you spent in searching the archives, reading > lifewithqmail.org and qmail.org? > In short: courier is the preferred one for most of us. > > > I'm looking at trying out squirrelmail (so any other tips one might be able > > to offer would be greatly appreciated as well ;) > > squirrel is fine, sqwebmail too. > I've written a short pargraph about the two in www.lifewithqmail.org/ldap/. > > Please do your homework next time. > > -- > * Henning Brauer, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.bsws.de * > * Roedingsmarkt 14, 20459 Hamburg, Germany * > Unix is very simple, but it takes a genius to understand the simplicity. > (Dennis Ritchie) > > --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Qmail IMAP4 for Maildir - best one??
Hi, I'm looking at using a webmail program that requires the use of IMAPv4 - I see there are various imap packages available that works with qmail - which is really the most stable and seems to work the best with IMAP?

pop3d maildir problems...
Hi all, It's a fairly straight forward problem (I think I have written the list about it before, and I believe someone posted last night that is having a similar / same problem) Client connects to pop They start to download they get a few messages (somewhere between 1 and 5) It will just hang popping out at this point. it will time out and claim the pop3 server is not responding. This is happening with people with both outlook express and Netscape mail. Some have virus scanners some don't. The problem started appearing about 2 to 2.5 weeks ago. Not everyone runs into this issue - but we have been getting more and more complaints. qmail-popup is being started from xinetd. Any suggestions / help would be appreciated. -Tony A safe place for Apple ]['s... http://www.a2haven.org --- "Ugh - You mean I have to do that AGAIN??"

Odd pop problem
Hi, I'm having an odd pop problem that just started this week. We are using the Maildir format We have a nfs spool to store all mail. all mail transaction machines mount the nfs spool. We are using the qmail-popup program from the 1.03 distribution Currently the nfs spool and the mounting transaction machines are about 1 second off from each other. We used to have them running ntpd to keep in sync, but after an extended power outtage, ntp ceased to function properly and we are not sure why. Symptoms: Client will start to pop out email and it would freeze and time out during download and give an error (as usual, it's a pain to get clients to specify exactly what the error is). Email Clients Used: Most occuring from Outlook Express, one occurance from Netscape Mail so far Original thought later dismissed: We know that Nortons 2000 sometimes times out while scanning email - most of the clients noting this error were either running another virus scanner or (ugh) not running one at all. Questions: Does anyone have any thoughts as to what this could be? Also as a side note - are there any ntp wizards out there who might be able to help me with my ntp snafu? -Tony A safe place for Apple ]['s... http://www.a2haven.org --- "Ugh - You mean I have to do that AGAIN??"

You can store your 8000 mail accounts under one user account. Each one having it's own Maildir.

Cluster
I was wondering if there is a way to do a reverse of QMTP. What I would like to do is put Qmail on 4 systems in a cluster (no NFS) with a queue and do nothing but forward all mail to the main mail server. This way if my main mail server goes down all mail is queued until that main server comes back online Tony

Help! qmail-pop3d not liking maildir!!
Hi, I'm a new user to this list, and fairly new to qmail. I have searched the faq and the manual and couldn't find an answer to my problem. Here's the situation: I have 2 machines, almost identical. Both are (as far as I can tell) set up identically. 1 machine works perfectly. The other leaves a lot to be desired. Here is my setup: Maildir is the format. I have a user jdoe in the users home directory (/home/jdoe) the Maildir directory exists Under the Maildir directory, there are three sub directories: cur new tmp Email comes in fine and is thrown into new as it should be. I run: /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup test.notreal.com /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir I log in with proper username and password. I issue a list command. It shows NO messages. I manually move the messages from new to cur, re-connect, re-issue a list request, and it shows all of the messages. If I run it on the other system that seems to be operating fine, it shows that there are messages in the new directory when there are messages there. I don't get the problem. According to the man files and everything else, it should show everything that is in new (and then proceed to go thru cur and clean up tmp after download). I don't know what the problem is. -Tony

assign config file question
My /var/qmail/users/assign file looks like this: +gv-:fred:1000:1003:/usr/local/squid/bin:-:gv: . Note that the 'gv-' line is a wildcard - I understand this to mean that any email received for any address that begins with 'gv-' will be processed by this configuration line. I ran qmail-newu to make it active. The problem is that I am executing the .qmail-default config file in squid, not the .qmail-gv file. I have read the documentation but it is a little too sparse for me. Can anyone explain how the last two arguments in an 'assign' line work for wildcards? Thanks, Tony
RE: qmail-users, users/assign, and qmail-newu
Ok, if I understand the process, qmail allows me to use the /var/qmail/users/assign file to define wildcard email address processing. Basically, I can define a user and a directory to use when processing emails whose addresses start with certain characters. qmail looks into the specified directory and tries to file a .qmail file. If there isn't a suitable one, it creates something called Mailfile. That isn't what I want. If it finds a file called .qmail-default, it executes the instructions within and does exactly what I want. I don't want to use .qmail-default, however. My problem is that I want to use a more specific name for the .qmail file. I can't deduce from the man pages what the qmail file should be called. ** As per the man page for qmail-user, .qmail files ARE involved: "A simple assignment is a line of the form =local:user:uid:gid:homedir:dash:ext: Here local is an address; user, uid, and gid are the account name, uid, and gid of the user in charge of local; and messages to local will be controlled by homedir/.qmaildashext." * I believe there is an alias facilty that does something similar and involves something to do with sticking .qmail files in the qmail/aliases directory. I have had poor success with that - I wonder if the qmail daemon has the authority to write into my application's directories.

qmail-users, users/assign, and qmail-newu
Hello! My server is going to receive emails that look lke this: vy-anon(anumber)@mydomain.com where (number) is a timestamp. I do not know what the number will be since it is generated on-the-fly. However, all such emails will be processed by the same facility. Reading the man pages (shock!) I found that there is a facility for this very thing - you add a config line to users/assign file then run newu. Here is my config line: +vy-anon:fred:1000:100:/usr/local/myapp::: My problem is that I can't deduce what the .qmail file is supposed to be called. Everything works fine if I put .qmail-default in /usr/local/myapp. But I don't want a default file - I want a config file that is explicitly associated with vy-anon. The documentation spells it out fairly well for simple conversions but I am confused by the sentence pertaining to wildcards. Here is a portion of the man page: |WILDCARD ASSIGNMENTS | A wildcard assignment is a line of the form | | +loc:user:uid:gid:homedir:dash:pre: | The crux is this "pre" value. What is this!? In the example above, what should the .qmail file be called? Thanks, Tony

Re: Fastforward AND smarthost-style operation at once
Hi Josh, I knew I did not write this up in vain. ;^) This is part of a mail I sent to the list a while ago, you can get it from the archive if you want to see the orig. AFAIK you have two instances of qmail to do this. If anyone knows how to do this with one instance please post the solution -Tony quepasa.com Email system: NOTE: The reference to "foo.fake" below is a literal reference, I use "foo.fake" for a strictly internal virtualhost/smtproute setup. Principle problems (background only): ] we have outsourced our web customer email system, so [EMAIL PROTECTED] is a customer, and has to be delivered to criticalpath.net (cp.net). ] we have also propagated [EMAIL PROTECTED] as employees email addresses, which should be delivered locally. ] when you out-source with cp.net they want you to point your domain MX record at them: quepasa.com. IN MX 10 inbound.quepasa.com.criticalpath.net. I was not willing to do that for several reasons: ] if cp is down, external email does not come through. ] I did not want to have to configure filters and forwards at cp.net so all employee mail did the right thing. ] as a business continuity measure, I wanted to control the mail flow. If we needed/wanted to change email providers, I can make the routing change in one qmail file. ] when delivering to cp.net the mail *MUST* be to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (cp's restriction not mine). I learned the hard way that: [EMAIL PROTECTED] will not work. The solution is obvious, accept mail at a central box (mailx.quepasa.com) for [EMAIL PROTECTED], if: a.] the mail user is an employee, send it along to a bastion host for delivery inside quepasa.com. b.] if not send it off to [EMAIL PROTECTED] at cp.net. (i.e. SMTP connect is to inbound.quepasa.com.criticalpath.net, RCPT To:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) The problem comes up at b. the mail has already been delivered to quepasa.com, if you attempt a forward like. |forward $[EMAIL PROTECTED] with a smtproute entry like: quepasa.com:inbound.quepasa.com.criticalpath.net The smtproute never seems (???) to be consulted, and it fails as a looping mail. I tried fooling around with virtual domains and header rewriting, but it came down to this, (AFAIK) a qmail machine that receives mail addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED], will never again deliver it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] That left me with one solution another instance of qmail. I did not want to run it on the same machine, different port. I loaded another box. Brief description of mail flow: ] mail for [EMAIL PROTECTED] comes in to mailx.quepasa.com, if jane is an employee, deliver mail according to fastforward based /etc/aliases rule. else forward mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" done There is a smtproute for foo.fake to pair.quepasa.com. pair.quepasa.com accepts the mail for virtual domain foo.fake, then forwards it [EMAIL PROTECTED] pair.quepasa.com had a smtproute that sends all quepasa.com mail to inbound.quepasa.com.criticalpath.net.

Improper message removal
This was brought up yesterday and I know what to do next time. I am one of the people that forcibly removed a message from the queue without properly stopping qmail. When I run Russ' qsanity it tells me: message has no entry in info: 256004 message is neither local nor remote: 256004 message has no entry in info: 256015 message has no entry in mess: 256015 .. My logs are showing these quite regularly. 2000-08-10 09:29:45.582458500 warning: trouble opening local/0/256013; will try again later 2000-08-10 09:30:20.752585500 warning: trouble opening info/2/256015; will try again later 2000-08-10 09:30:42.762486500 warning: trouble opening remote/12/256002; wi ll try again later My question. Will these messages, which aren't really there, be bounced to me eventually? If queue-fix-1.4 will fix this, I will run it tonight. *OR* my question before I read the "How to annoy People" My gear be broken. What now? :) Thanks, tonyC

qmailanalog for dummies
Our qmail server has been up for 2 days and everything is working fine. I
would like to use qmailanalog to analyze activity.
I have read through the archive but need more answers.
I installed qmailanalog-0.70
:From an archived message:
awk '{$1="";$2="";$3="";$4="";$5="";print}' processed_log
My 'processed_log' is an empty file I created - /var/log/qmail/analog

The above is all on one line
After running the above, my 'analog' file has data in it like,

Re: tai64n -- why?
Isn't there something on this list about "profile not speculate"? (defun convert-tai64nlocal (arg) "generate a local, human timestamped buffer from a tai64 timestamped buffer" (interactive "p") (mark-whole-buffer) (shell-command-on-region (region-beginning) (region-end) "tai64nlocal" nil nil) ) works pretty fast, only issue it opens an output buffer, but OTOH, you don't have to go to any effort ;^) You could also just take out the 't' in your "...log/run" files, no time stamp, no problem.

conf-split size on different FS's
Hi, I found a post from Russell Nelson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> dated 2000, Jan 01 (Thank you Russell) where he recommends: a "reasonable [conf-split] size given the performance of the file system on the available hardware. That is, in my experience, about 3,000 for ext2 fs." I have been having large queue performance issues on Linux I think are related to the conf-split. I have changed my conf-split to 2999 (on a single IDE disk, single proc pent II 350) but have not had a queue spike yet. When I was investigating this problem I came to the conclusion that I should change the conf-split, but I completely missed the guess on what a large jump I should make. I originally moved it to 83. I also run Solaris 7.0 (SPARC) and FreeBSD 3.4 (Intel), are there maximum conf-split recommendations for single proc, single IDE disk systems with UFS and FFS? -- Tony Hansmann ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Director of Technical Services Quepasa.com, INC. 602-716-0100

Permissions Dilemma?
When I set up my Sendmail box last year I added all of my users in 'userconf' as POP accounts (mail only). Approx 250. As I'm attempting to add Maildir folders under their /home/name directories, I cannot chown Maildir. For example: drwx-- 5 root popusers 1024 Jul 21 11:22 Maildir [root@mail2 /home/al.koch]# chown -R al.koch /home/al.koch/Maildir chown: al.koch: invalid user Will I have to remove all my users and add them as regular users? thanks, tony.campisi

Notice the dash in the name of the service. In my /etc/services file it says: pop3110/tcp pop-3 110/tcp I've been using 'pop3' during my testing on another machine and it worked good. My server was down for 3 hours, so I panicked and put sendmail back on until I can figure out what happened. Thanks guys for answering. Armando, I'm gonna try to write 110 instead of pop3 or pop-3 next time. ...oh! the shame tony.campisi

SMTP port 25 - cannot connect
Hello all! I really want to thank Dave Sill for writing "Life with qmail." I realized that if you follow the directions EXACTLY, good things are bound to happen. After 2 previous failed attempts in installing qmail, I completely removed everything qmailish from my system. Sendmail was also pulled out by the roots. I carefully went step-by-step and when I was finished I only had to chown and chgrp some files that were left over from the previous attempts. This is the output of a ps right after the install. qmaild /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -p -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -u 878 -g 602 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd qmaill/usr/local/bin/multilog t /var/log/qmail qmaill/usr/local/bin/multilog t /var/log/qmail/smtpd qmailq qmail-clean qmailr qmail-rspawn qmails qmail-send root supervise qmail-send root supervise qmail-smtpd root qmail-lspawn ./Maildir/ /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run looks like this #!/bin/sh QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaild` NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild` exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 200 \ /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -p -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb \ -u $QMAILDUID -g $NOFILESGID 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1 This is where my problem begins. I cannot access port 25 on my mail server. I am accessing the machine from my home this weekend. When I 'telnet mailmachine2.companyname.com 25' I get 'Connect Failed - Could not open a connection'. Inetd is not maintaining my POP3 and SMTP anymore, tcpserver is. There is NO mention of either POP or SMTP in the inet.conf file. This is where I usually get stumped. I will gladly post any output you request. :) 2- This is not a problem, I would just like to make sure I did this properly. I added this line to my /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail startup file. My users will be checking their mail through Outlook Express and I want to use pop3d / checkpassword to do this. tcpserver -v -R 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup mailmachine2.companyname.com /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 2>&1 | \ /var/qmail/bin/splogger pop3d & this is the output of ps after I added the above line qmaild /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -p -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -u 878 -g 602 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd qmaill /usr/local/bin/multilog t /var/log/qmail/smtpd qmailq qmail-clean qmailr qmail-rspawn qmails qmail-send root tcpserver -v -R 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup mailmachine2.companyname.com /bin/checkpassword root /var/qmail/bin/splogger pop3d root supervise qmail-send root supervise qmail-smtpd root qmail-lspawn ./Maildir/ Once again, thanks for any help you can give me, tony.campisi
Multilog: fatal: the final answer (hopefully)
Back in March someone asked about the multilog: fatal: unable to open directory /var/log/qmail: access denied problem. Dave asked that person to Post the output of: ls -ld /var/log/qmail /var/log /var / cat /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-send/log/run but I searched the archive and didn't see their reply. Since I am getting the same problem, I will do as Dave suggests.

Re: Planning an Install and need Help.
Dave, thank you so much for the information! I will follow your "Life with qmail" to the letter. I have to clarify a few things though. You mentioned in your reply, "With qmail, users can redirect their mail using their .qmail file. E.g., ~courtney.love/.qmail could contain: [EMAIL PROTECTED] You'll need to convert your /etc/alias redirections into .qmail files." Q - Would doing this be the same as using the fastforward package? I misspoke when I asked this question. "Are syslog and multilog the same thing/different and which one should I use?" I meant to ask about splogger/multilog. When I follow the LWQ, which logging tool will be used? I can build a house with all these logs. :-D thanks again, tony.campisi
Planning an Install and need Help.
My email needs are small time in comparison to some of the installs out there. I have approx. 300 users on my network (LAN no dialups). All of my users are checking their mail with Outlook Express from MS. We are currently using Sendmail on a Linux 5.2 install. The users email settings have them checking both POP3 and SMTP on the IP address of the mail server, which is 192.168.*.*. Each of the users have an account on the Linux machine under /home/firstname.lastname. An example of an email address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] A few of my users have aliases set up in /etc/aliases so that their companyname email is sent to a mindspring address so they can check it on their laptops on the road. I don't want to make this any harder than it has to be! Can someone/anyone please give me some insight as to what I will need to make this configuration work for me? >From what I have read on the mailing list, Maildir delivery seems to be the way to >go. Is pop3d something I will need? Is syslog and multilog the same thing/different and which one should I use? I'm pretty sure I will need the fastforward, uscpi-tcp(tcpserver), daemontools(supervise), qmailanalog and rblsmtpd packages. Honestly, I really appreciate any advice you can give me about this. I tried to do it on my own, and it's not working out at all. Thank you very much, tony.campisi

How do I invoke the qmail-users Mechanism ??
Hi. I dont understand how to invoke the qmail-users system. I have a server and /var/qmail/users/ is empty. I would like to be able to use the "assign" mechanism. How do i do this ? I tried to run qmail-pw2u but it just seems to hang forever. This is how it says to do it in Life with Qmail. Also if i start using 'assign' will it somehow mess up my exisiting config ?

If you open any text qmail text file on your Windoz machine, make you to use a text editor on your unix to resave the file as Windoz and Unix handle line break differently.

I downloaded qmail 1.03 to a Windoze machine on my intranet, unzipped (WinZip 7.0) it into a directory called "qmail" in my home director on the Linux box, created /var/qmail, added the groups and users specified in INSTALL.ids, then switched to "qmail" in my home directory and typed "make setup check" as per step 3 of the INSTALL instructions.

What I did was after I created the tmai userid: #cd /home/tmai #/var/qmail/bin/maildirmake /home/tmai/Maildir I also set up some aliases as: #echo tmai > /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-root #echo tmai > /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-postmaster #ln -s /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-postmaster /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-mailer-daemon #chmod 644 /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-root /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-postmaster Just like it was instructed in the LWQ. Any help are greatly appreciated. Thanks Tony M. . iWon.com http://www.iwon.com why wouldn't you? .

Re: Concurrencyremote for a specific host
There's always an exception. For example, legacy systems with strange (but conformant) IP stacks - some VMS systems for example. I would love to be able to do set per-host concurrency for such systems where I know *exactly* what the upper limit on concurrent connections it can handle is, cause it's defined in it's IP / MTA implementation. There's no point in going above this figure cause it just ties up my remote connections due to the way it handles connections above this number - i.e. it becomes a black hole. -tony On 20-Oct-99 Russell Nelson wrote: > And in neither of those cases is it an improvement to keep banging > on > the destination host.

Relaying.
Hi all, I seem to have a relaying problem with 2 servers that i have worked on. I installed Qmail-1.03 ucspi-tcp-0.84 checkpassword-0.81 I put all the relevant domain details in /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts what happens is in both instances a Exchange server forwards the mail to the Qmail server. The Qmail server then rejects the mail saying, "Domain not in rcpthosts" tcpserver runs with the following command ( not sure if this is actually what controls the Relaying) tcpserver -c 1000 -u 71 -g 80 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb & in the file /etc/tcp.smtp 123.123.123.:allow,RELAYCLIENT="" If i remove the rcpthosts file.

Both running Redhat 6.0 with kernel 2.2.10 and both be a DELL PowerEdge 2300 with Duel PII 400 chips and 256M Ram. and a 18G hdd. with the /var/qmail dir set to +- 9G could i get them to share the configs and load balance ?

Question
Erm ... is this mail getting through ... if so, I have the following Questions. Hi all , I am currently attempting a Sendmail ---> Qmail moveover. We have 3 or 4 sendmail servers that i would like to replace with a single Qmail server. Questions 1. Would someone point me to the doccies on how to use a Database for all aliases and perhaps Mailing lists and Vhosts, i will be looking at using Ezmlm for the mailing lists, and Mysql for the Database. We currently use MajorDomo for the mailing lists, is there a way to easily move all the lists from that to Ezmlm. 2. Has anyone got a web interface that uses RCS to keep track of who did what with Vhosts and Aliases ? I know that Qmail-admin is available. I may need to make changes to allow for the RCS. Has anyone moved 2000 + Aliases and Vhosts and mailing lists from a Sendmail server to Qmail. If so how did you keep track of everything. Thank You.

Re: cleaning out queue.
Hi I tried that. Now I get the following error when I try to mail someone.
qmail-inject: fatal: qq trouble creating files in queue (#4.3.0)
I erased:
queue/mess/*
queue/info/*
queue/local/*
queue/intd/*
queue/todo/*
queue/remote/*
And restarted qmail.
The last time I got this error. I re-installed qmail. Now Im going to
re-install it again. However I think the mailq is filling up because I
have cronjobs running and root is not getting the mail. I su to root and
ran:
maildirmake Maildir
in root directory. But I still could not receive mail messages from root.
No mail shows up in ~root/Maildir/new. All the messages are in queue. On
the other hand when I create a regular user and his "Maildir", then mail
him a message his message arrives no problem.
how do i get root his mail ? any ideas ?

cleaning out queue.
How do i clean out the queue. I want all the messages erased from it. Do I just erase /var/qmail/queue/mess direcotry ? Also what program do I used to read the mail from the prompt ? I normally use Pine with Sendmail but it does not work with qmail. thanks td
Mail Queue
How do i erase all messages in the mail queue ? thanks in advance td

Hi. I was doing some maintenance on our server running qmail and noticed when i did "qmail-qread", there were over 4000 messages in the queue all looked like this except for the odd one: 26 Mar 1999 11:30:00 GMT #8947 425 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> local [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since this server is only running moderated mailing lists, I was curious as to who/what is sending these messages. Any ideas ? Also if they are not important, how do i clean these messages out of the queue ? How can i view what is in those messages ? Thanks in advance. td
