hi all.
i have a nameserver as my primary server running redhat 7.0 with sendmail.I 
made another server and i am trying to install qmail on it in order to use 
it for my email server.ITS HARD.
i think i succeded to install the qmail cause i can send email from the 
second server using pine lets say.

Anybody knows what should i do next.i mean i have to go to the BIND DNS of 
the primary to say what?or to the secondaru to say what.

I went to primary and i said that my other mail server is the ip of the 
secondary computer.So when i ping the mail1..ro i have a reply.

No i think i have to go to qmail and to run ./config mail1.xxx.ro in order 
to configure qmail.It doesnt let me proced.

Yes, it is.

You really should be able to tell for sure whether qmail is working by reading
the qmail logs.  Or perhaps sendmail is still running, and sendmail delivered
the message.  Check you sendmail logs.

 Anybody knows what should i do next.

Every smtp server should have reverse DNS (a PTR record in the
.in-addr.arpa zone).  It sounds like yours does not.

Hi,


1.  In qmail server, in /var/qmail/control direcotory, there are files 
like me, rpchosts, defaultdomain ... make necessary changes in these file so 
that this server will accept mail for your domain.
2.  Go to primary dns server, in dns, make sure your first mail server 
is qmail server

switching a large sedmail installation to qmail right now .. need help !

2001-02-17 Thread Jankok, Lucio

We are right  now in the process of migrating a large sendmail installation.
I ran into a problem.
the sendmail installation we want to replace has a mailertable of +/- 24 entries
which tells the mta where to relay mails for a specific domain.
the syntax goes like this;
domain.org  mta1.otherdomain.org
sub.domain.org  mta2.differentdomain.org
etc

I don't know how to implement this in qmail.

your help is much appreciated.

regards.

Luc

control/smtproutes

quoting from qmail-control.0:

   smtproutes
Artificial SMTP routes.   Each  route  has  the  form
domain:relay,  without  any  extra spaces.  If domain
matches host, qmail-remote will connect to relay,  as
if  host  had  relay  as  its only MX.  (It will also
avoid doing any CNAME lookups on  recip.)   host  may
include  a  colon and a port number to use instead of
the normal SMTP port, 25:

   inside.af.mil:firewall.af.mil:26

relay may be empty; this tells qmail-remote  to  look
up MX records as usual.  smtproutes may include wild
cards:

   .af.mil:
   :heaven.af.mil

Here any address ending with .af.mil (but not  af.mil
itself)  is  routed  by  its  MX  records;  any other
address is artificially routed to heaven.af.mil.

The qmail system does not protect you if  you  create
an  artificial  mail loop between machines.  However,
you are always safe using smtproutes if  you  do  not
accept mail from the network.

Take care,

Stefaan

So I'm installing qmail on my RedHat 6 distrubution a la the "Life with
qmail" document, and its going great (I've been doing a little each day all

cdb"

Well, I do this, and I get "bash: /usr/local/sbin/qmail: No such file or
directory"

So I do an ls -l and see the qmail entry in /usr/local/sbin is the link to:
"qmail - /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail" and its permission is "lrwxrwxrwx"

In checking /etc/rc.d/init.d/, i see that qmail is the executable script
"qmail" frmom the beginning of section 2.8.2, but I can't execute it here
either. It looks like:
[root@lllama init.d]# qmail
bash: qmail: command not found
[root@lllama init.d]# ./qmail
bash: ./qmail: No such file or directory

OK, these are classic symptoms of a bad "magic number". The top line
of the qmail script should look like:

   #!/bin/sh

That tells the exec() system call that the file is a script, and the
interpreter is /bin/sh.

1) Verify that the first line of your script is correct:

   head -1 /usr/local/sbin/qmail |od -c
   000   #   !   /   b   i   n   /   s   h  \n
   012

   If you get the following:
   000   #   !   /   b   i   n   /   s   h  \r  \n
   013

   The problem is that your browser or the InfoAve web server
   "helpfully" converted the UNIX text file format (newline) into DOS
   text format (CRLF). If that's the case, you can convert it back by
   doing:

  tr -d '\012' /usr/local/sbin/qmail /tmp/foo
  cp /tmp/foo /usr/local/sbin/qmail

   If you get anything else, edit the file, delete the first line,
   and re-enter it. Or re-download the script.

2) Verify that /bin/sh is a working shell:

   /bin/sh

   You should get no error messages, and a "$ ", "bash$ ", or similar
   prompt. Commands like "ls" and "ps" should work. Hit ^D to exit the 
   shell.

   If this fails, you've got serious problems.

3) Try "bash /usr/local/sbin/qmail cdb". If that works, the problem is 
   definitely in the "magic number".

Try using a tool like "fromdos" with your qmail file, and it should work with

Warr,

Check the top line of the qmail file.  It will name a program to be run
to process the qmail script.  Check to make sure that this program
exists on your
system and is runnable.

For example, if the program is named as:

#!/bin/sh

Make sure that /bin/bash exists and is runnable on your system.

Linux will report "no such file or directory" for a script which names
an
interpreter which does not exist or is not runnable.  It's cryptic, I
know.
Someone should fix it :) ...

Best wishes,
Bryan

Sorry everyone, in my haste to get the email out I made a
typographical error ... it should read:

For example, if the program is named as:

Make sure that /bin/sh exists and is runnable on your system.

On Linux it's all /bin/bash anyway.  I'd be surprised if Warr's
Linux box didn't have a working /bin/bash, or /bin/sh wasn't
properly linked to /bin/bash, but ... it's an easy thing to check.
