HELP with Aliases and Forwarding
We have just moved to a Windows2000 server, and I set up all of our aliases and then when I set up the forwards for the aliases, the aliases names moved out of the aliases page. Our forwards are not working, and the only POP account is postmaster. I do not have access to the administrative functions of qmail, other than adding a Pop account, aliase forward and creating a mailing list. The mailing list does not work either. What can I ask our ISP to check? As I can not see the error logs. Any help would be great, thanks

jcarreiro wrote: Hi all ! actually i use aliases with fastforward and /etc/aliases i'm migrating to vpopmail and i'm wondering if there's a better aliases management with vpopmail ... thx in advance. The current stable version of vpopmail puts the alias files in each virtual domain directory. One directory per domain. The new development version supports this, and also for mysql and oracle allows for putting the aliases in the database. A new command line program, valias, and a new set of api's provide for maintaining virtual domain aliases, be they in a database or in the .qmail files. Ken Jones

Fastforward... recursive aliases and existing mailboxes.
1) Can I do such a thing in fastforward: cthulhu: cthulhu, a.dent which mean: deliver all mail to cthulhu to cthulhu itself, its local mailbox, and to a.dent? 2) If I have, in QMail+MySQL, a user called cthulhu, the simple alias: cthulhu: elsewhere will never work, because QMail seek to ~/alias/.qmail-default only if the user don't exist.

Anyone who can send mail to your system can send mail to all aliases that exist on the system. If you convert the aliases to Ezmlm lists, you can restrict posting to subscribers and even moderate lists. Mike

imapd and mbox and aliases rules !
Hello all , I am interested in knowing how can i configure imapd with qmail running the mbox ( /var/spool/mail mailbox ) . I have checked the FAQ and there is no indication of how to use the imapd with the regular mailbox with tcpserver wrapping it like the way it is done with qmail-pop3d . Another question I have is how do I implement rules about aliases defined in my system as .qmail-alias to restrictusing certain aliases to be used only internally and deny them to the outside world .and by this prevent me from being spamed with mailing list like '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' and still allow my internal users to to use the same alias from my internal network . The configuration i am interested is : allow all my internal users to sendmail to any ( i am doing this with my /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb tcprules ) . restrict access to aliases like : all@ from the outside ( need to know how ) allow users to connect via imapd and qmail-pop3d using the regular method of mbox ( /var/spool/mail ) . I am also using the a combination of the old fashion /etc/aliases like sendmail ( by configuring the .qmail-default ) with .qmail-aliases which i am interested in knowing of how to control access to certain aliases from the outside world to prevent spam . Thanks . Nissim .

I have checked the FAQ and there is no indication of how to use the = imapd with the regular mailbox with tcpserver wrapping it like the=20 way it is done with qmail-pop3d . [...] Qmail can deliver mail in two formats, namely Mailbox and Maildir. Mailbox is the traditional Unix approach with all mails for one user concatenated in one (maybe large) file in somewhere like /var/spool/man/USERNAME. Maildir is a completely different approach that puts each delivered mail into a separate file in a directory under (normally) a users homedirectory. qmail-pop3d is only suitable for Maildir, not for Mailbox. For that you have to get another daemon that can access Mailboxes, like Qualcom Qpopper for instance. For imap access you can either use the University of Washington imap server (Mailbox) or Courier Imapd (Maildir, can be found via www.qmail.org). Now, you might want to rethink wether you want use the Mailbox format full stop, probably for pop3 access and most definitely for imap access. The reason is that Mailbox files can i) become garbled easily ii) scale terribly for a large amount of mails. In the imap scenario a user would manipulate (view/delete/change status) mail on the server right inside the mailbox file. Consider what happens if a piece of mail has to be deleted that sits in the middle of a 100 MB Mailbox: First all of the mails that precede it have so be scanned and saved somewhere and then all the mails following it appended. So the entire mailbox file has to be once read and written for each delete operation. You don't even want to think about a crash while such an operation is in progress. Pop3 access might just about be fine (apart from reliability questions and garbled mailbox files) if your users retrieve their mails regularily. On the other hand, there is always the dreaded "Leave Mail on Server" setting in pop3 mailclients that leads to ever increasing mailbox files, that users are not even aware of, except for the increase in time that it takes to get at their most recent mail. Maildir does not suffer from either of these problems since the delivery algorithm guarantees that a Maildir is always in a sane state and since each mail sits in its own file there is not much of a performance penalty associated with deleting the mail or changing its status (Courier Imapd does this by just altering the filename, not even the file itself). Depending on the underlying filesystem you might run into performance problems for very large amounts of mails in one directory of a Maildir, but that tends to be in the thousands of mails. For a third alternative for imap/pop3 access there is also the Cyrus imap and pop3 combination (http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/), which stores mails away from user home directories in either a format not dissimilar to Maildir (Cyrus versions 2.0) or in Berkeley DB database format (Cyrus versions 2.0) which gives you transaction protected storage and manipulation of mails. hope that helps, -- Joerg Lenneis email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Where are my aliases?
I'm trying to determine how to control where mail gets forward to when mailed to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" (one of my hosts). 1. africaalive.org is a CNAME for virtual.jhuccp.org. (This seems to be backwards in the DNS, where looking up virtual.jhuccp.org determines that the canonical name is africaalive.org. Odd...) In the DNS records, this is recorded as "africaalive.org internet address = 162.129.225.199". This is the IP address of virtual.jhuccp.org. However, there are no MX records in the DNS for either africaalive.org or virtual.jhuccp.org. There is an MX record for jhuccp.org. This is my first question, how is mail to africaalive.org even finding us to begin with? This address does work correctly. 2. In reading the qmail manuals, I learned the importance of /var/qmail/control/rcpthost and virtualdomains. Here's the content of these files: virtual:/var/qmail/control # cat rcpthosts localhost virtual.jhuccp.org africaalive.org virtual:/var/qmail/control # cat virtualdomains africaalive.org:africaalive.org virtual:/var/qmail/control # From my reading, the first value in the virtualdomains files identifies a local user to send mail to which arrived addressed to the second value. However, I have no user "africaalive.org" on host virtual. There's also no /etc/aliases file, though I do have an /etc/aliases.db file. I can't figure out how to get into the aliases.db file to see if there's an alias for africaalive.org in there. I'm not very familiar with qmail and probably haven't read the documentation as throughly as I should, but none of this is making sense.

My impression was that I could just do the following: 1) create /home/alias/.qmail-thealiasname, containing /home/username/Maildir 2) chown that file to alias:qmail 3) create the user's Maildir, making sure it's owned by the user 4) Go! I don't have the domain in virtualdomains, as it's in locals (in fact, it's the primary domain for the machine). I didn't figure this to be a problem, as .qmail-postmaster, .qmail-root, etc., work with that domain just fine. What happens, though, is that qmail tries to make the delivery, and gives me that nasty "unable to chdir to Maildir (4.2.1)" error. I assume it's trying to access the user Maildir as the user specified by .qmail-thealiasname, which obviously isn't right. How can I tell it to go in as the user? Alternately, is there another way to implement this? All I really care about is getting a 9+ character e-mail address set up, I'm not finnicky on how I do it. As the file ~alias/.qmail-theuser is owned by alias (and should be) it should contain usr@me ie the "short" username and one of the local domains so that qmail forwards and doesn't attempt to deliver as the alias user. -Johan -- Johan Almqvist http://www.almqvist.net/johan/qmail/ PGP signature

Well, a few of you got the correct answer; but I'm afraid you have to be
more specific:
Eric, just add these lines to your /var/qmail/users/assign file:
=alias:alias:1002:102:/var/qmail/alias:::
+alias-:alias:1002:102:/var/qmail/alias:-::
and make sure you end the assign file with a line that just has a dot on
it and there is no other line in the file with just a dot.
To process this new assign file, do:
qmail-newu
and you should be all set to go.
BTW, just keep those alias files as the username you're trying to
forward to ('eric') to reduce overhead resouce usage.

I understand the idea of an alias for a directory name...but mail? Is there some standard directory I'm pointing to with this alias, or some other standard concept behind it? Simplified: In qmail, alias is a system user account. qmail, when delivering mail to a local user, will first check ~username for validity, .qmail file(s), etc. If that fails, it will then check ~alias/.qmail-username(-default, etc). Therefore ~alias/.qmail-root is a .qmail file (`man dot-qmail`) which controls delivery of mail to "root@localdomain". A dot mail file (read the man page referenced above) consists of comments, blank lines, and delivery instructions. A delivery instruction can be one of several things: -instruction to deliver to a Maildir. Starts with . or / and ends with /. ./path/to/Maildir/ -instruction to deliver to an mbox file. Starts with . or / and does not end with /. ./path/to/mbox -instruction to deliver to a program. Starts with |; `man qmail-command` for details. |/path/to/my/script -forwarding instructions. Either starts with , or doesn't fit one of the above.

I have qmail set up with the smtproutes file as follows: lists.valor.com: ftp2.valor.com:ftp2.valor.com .valor.com:vsun14.valor.com valor.com:vsun14.valor.com This qmail server is currently only used for routing mail to vsun14. Let's assume that incoming mail is addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] I want to be able to choose that email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] continues to vsun14.valor.com, but that mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] goes to ftp2.valor.com. I understand that I have to add aliases to ~alias. I also have to add a control/virtualdomains file which I don't have at the moment. I am working on a live system and don't want to disrupt the email by making mistakes. I want to be able to move users incrementally from mail server vsun14 to ftp2. The questions are: If I add a virtual domain without aliases, what will happen to the mail? What is the best approach to reroute individual users given that I have smtproutes set up?

I am working on a live system and don't want to disrupt the email by making mistakes. Nothing happens unless youkill -HUP qmail-send ;-) First it's important to know that smtproutes applies only to qmail-remote. This is after the delivery descision (local/remote) has been made. What I'd do: a) Keep the smtproutes file like you have it. b) Create a directory /var/qmail/moved mode 755 create in this directory a file .qmail-user1 mode 644 and put inside this file # [EMAIL PROTECTED] # You have to choose a user und whos permissions this kind of email will be handled. I usually use (on my system) the user pop:68:68 This will also be used laster in the users/assign file. Do achown 68:68 /var/qmail/moved /var/qmail/moved/.qmail-user1 Nothing happens to the running system yet. c) create the control/virtualdomains file and add the line # [EMAIL PROTECTED]:moved # This "moved" at the right side of the colon is an identificator (or an user) that will control delivery of messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] This user should NOT exist on your system. If you have a user with such a name, choose another identificator. The email will now get delivered to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Nothing happens to the running system yet. d) Now we're going to create the pseudo user "moved". edit /var/qmail/users/assign and put the following two lines in there (the second one is a single dot alone on a line and must be there). # +moved-:pop:68:68:/var/qmail/moved:-:: . # This is a "wildcard match" and matches every user that starts with moved- The controlling directory will be /var/qmail/moved (i.e. where the .qmail files live). The "moved-" part will be removed when matching .qmail files. This means [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - /var/qmail/moved/.qmail-user2 - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Nothing happens to the running system yet. e) Now activate the new setup: 1) Run /var/qmail/bin/qmail-newu this compiles users/assign to users/cdb 2) kill -HUP pid_of_qmail-send to make qmail-send notice the new/changes to control/virtualdomains. 3) Test the new delivery. I want to be able to move users incrementally from mail server vsun14 to ftp2. f) To move user3, user4, ... You only have to create /var/qmail/moved/.qmail-user3 containing [EMAIL PROTECTED] /var/qmail/moved/.qmail-user4 containing [EMAIL PROTECTED] ... and add entries [EMAIL PROTECTED]:moved [EMAIL PROTECTED]:moved to control/virtualdomains and the send a kill -HUP to qmail-send. Just watch out for ownership and modes of the .qmail files. g) Once you have completed the move for all users change smtproutes for valor.com to point to ftp2.valor.com. After that you can remove virtualdomains and users/assign and users/cdb and again kill -HUP qmail-send Hope that helps! \Maex -- SpaceNet AG | http://www.Space.Net/ | Stress is when you wake Research Development| mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | up screaming and you Joseph-Dollinger-Bogen 14 | Tel: +49 (89) 32356-0| realize you haven't D-80807 Muenchen | Fax: +49 (89) 32356-299 | fallen asleep yet.

Sendmail %1 Virtual Aliases - Qmail?
Hello Everyone,
I am in the progress of migrating a fairly large sendmail system to qmail.
One of the problems I have run into is the differences in when aliases are
resolved by the two programs. I have installed and am planning on using
the fastforward program with qmail.
The main issues are these:
1.) We have over 1000 virtualdomains that we handle mail for.
2.) Due in part to bad planning, we allow defaulting delivery
of those domains to the localdomain.
e.g. If we host custdomain.com, we allow mail to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] to delivery to the same [EMAIL PROTECTED]
3.) With a small number of our virtualdomains, we have a setup
that forwards [EMAIL PROTECTED] to the same
[EMAIL PROTECTED] using the sendmail virtusertable format
@domain1.com[EMAIL PROTECTED]
The questions are:
1.) Is it possible to have the fastforward alias file read
*before* the local user check, AND have it delivery
to the local user if there is no alias?
2.) Using the fastforward aliases file, is there an equivilant
to the @domain1.com[EMAIL PROTECTED] style of aliasing?
I am aware that using qmail's .qmail file aliasing is it possible to do
the defaulting aliasing through a .qmail-default file containing:
${DEFAULT}@gwi.net
However, to make it easier on our support department, having aliasing act
exactly the same as in sendmail would be much preferrable.
Thank you for your time.

odd error - with /etc/qmail/aliases ?!?
Dear All I've setup a qmail / vpopmail combo and added a Virtual domain. This machine is not connected to the internet (I am using it for local testing / install scripts for a bunch of servers). It delivers to know address fine - but when I send a message to a nonexistant_address@existing_domain I get the log entries below (no funny what do the logs say ... comments ;-). I know I am missing something simple - but why is qmail looking in /etc/qmail/aliases ?!?! in /var/qamil/aliases/.qmail-postmaster is: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Is this mix up due to the fact that I do not have a DNS entry for localhost.localdomain (obviously!) and that gjjc@rubber ... is a non local address ?

fastforward VS aliases
Hi, I have a problem about aliases from sendmail. Now my system uses sendmail and aliases. I want to change to be qmail and want to keep /etc/aliases.

But in case of fastforward when anyone sent mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] , it won't not forward to [EMAIL PROTECTED] How can I solve this problem ? Regards, Effy.

Hello, I have take a sendmail alias file to use for my aliases. I have added '| fastforward -d /etc/aliases.cdb' to the .qmail-default file in my /var/qmail/aliases directory.

virtualhosts and aliases
I'm just experimenting with using qmail to accept delivery of email
for multiple domains on the same machine. I think I've got everything
configured nicely, but...
Consider...
mail.foo.com is the MX for both foo.com and bar.com
I'd like {postmaster,webmaster}@{foo,bar}.com to be delivered to me.
I'd like any email to a user account that exists on the machine to be
delivered to that user, regardless of which host it came in for.
I'd like any email to bar.com that doesn't resolve to a known user to
be delivered to a specific user.
Currently, I've got "bar.com:alias-bar" in control/virtualdomains,
which delivers the email via ~alias/.qmail-bar-whatever. So, I've got
.qmail-bar-postmaster and .qmail-bar-webmaster pointing at
[EMAIL PROTECTED], which works.
I can't see how to solve the other two problems. I know that I can
set up ~alias/.qmail-bar-default to solve the third, but I'd like to
solve the second problem as well.
This seems a little lopsided - I've special-cased the bar.com email,
but the foo.com stuff works "out of the box". Am I doing it right?
Also, I was wondering if anyone had any tips/caveats for the unsuspecting
qmail beginner that I should be aware of?

So far, you want foo.com and bar.com to behave as if they're local,
not virtual.
I'd like any email to bar.com that doesn't resolve to a known user to
be delivered to a specific user.
So put both foo.com and bar.com in control/locals, remove bar.com from
control/virtualdomains, and create a ~alias/.qmail-default that looks
for bar.com in the recipient's address and forwards to the specified
user if found.
Also, I was wondering if anyone had any tips/caveats for the unsuspecting
