no ESMTP prompt after some messages
Hi all. I'm using qmail-1.03 on a linux slackware 7.1 Atlhon server, after some time and some mail sent perfectly from the smtpd server i don't get the "ESMTP ..." prompt of qmail if i do a "telnet server smtp" i get the "escape caracter is..." line and after that nothing, this continue until i reboot the server. I get the following error in another qmail server Here it's my startup line: --- csh -cf '/var/qmail/rc ' QMAILUID=`id -u qmaild` NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild` /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -H -R -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c100 -u$QMAILUID -g$NOFIL ESGID 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd /dev/null 2/dev/null --- in the /var/log/mail.log there's nothing interesting. What can i do? Hello. Davide.

If so, that's exactly what happens: It accepts the connection but will not launch the qmail-smtpd process until a session becomes available.

Re: ESMTP AUTH and qmail
If you are doing load sharing between machines. then your best bet is to use the ucspi-mysql.patch That was released about 2 weeks ago.. This allows you to look off a Mysql TABLE instead of using the CDB file.. (I have ran into many problems with my machines.. Doing DNS load balancing for SMTP) I was running into NFS file locking problems when I implemented the POP3 to SMTP authenication.

ESMTP AUTH and qmail
Is there a patch for qmail that enables the ESMTP AUTH authentication scheme (RFC 2554)? I've looked about at qmail.org, but didn't see anything obvious (forgive if I overlooked). My original plan of using something like relay-ctrl for SMTP-after-IMAP fell through when I remembered the system I am putting together will use multiple load-shared machines, which means the machine handling a user's outgoing message may not be the same machine handling his/her IMAP connection. So, I need something that works with SMTP directly, or otherwise doesn't require something that might break when multiple servers are involved. Thanks for any help! ---Kris Kelley
ESMTP
Hi, my ISP has changed the mailsystem so that I have to change my configuration too. They sent me an email in which they tell me to send my user-id and password when sending mail. They call it ESMTP. So far I used /usr/local/bin/maildirsmtp ~alias/pppdir alias-ppp- sendmail.neubert.com $IPADDR to send my mail. But if I try this now, I get the following error: maildirserial: info: new/963816027.832.chakoty bounced: 209.231.49.20 said: 553 To send mail, first check your mail with a valid POP account; this prevents unauthorized SPAM relaying. (#5.7.1) Does anybody know how to configure my site to use ESMTP? Kind regards, Tobias

(#5.7.1) Does anybody know how to configure my site to use ESMTP? This has nothing to do with ESMTP. Relaying is only allowed is you check your mail with POP before, to authenticate yourself. You can do it with fetchmail, before running maildirsmtp.

They have started to encounter delivery and reception problems with a couple of sites and the only thing I can narrow it down to is that these sites want to use ESMTP. What are the delivery and reception problems? What's in the logs? They simultaneously start to have both delivery and reception problems with the same site? They have been able to send and received emails from these sites fine up until about 4-6 weeks ago. Are there any known issues with ESMTP? Has a new version of Sendmail been released recently that does something different with ESMTP? One person that we have talked to said it might be a problem with qmail not being able to deal with two 220 responses? qmail-remote shouldn't have any problems with properly constructed multi-line responses. qmail-remote will read the response code from the first line of the response, and then just chew up and ignore the rest of the lines. The remote end could send a hundred consecutive 220 responses if it did it correctly. The customers mail server is 'mail.renaissance.co.nz', one of the SMTP servers that they are having trouble with is 'mail.compaq.com'. For a typical problematic message, what do the logs say? Chris
ESMTP SIZE and qmail
Hi Folks. Can someone explain to me the support Qmail has for the ESMTP SIZE command? I've used this in sendmail to define the maximum message size I'm willing to accept, but can't find a similar setting for Qmail. Also more importantly to me, my upstream provider uses Qmail for my backup mail servers. They do not appear to send the extended ESMTP Mail command to report the size of the message being sent, when relaying mail to me. I connect via ISDN and therefore don't want to download very large messages. Is there a configuration change I can recommend to my ISP which will enable this? Thanks in advance.
