Qmailqueue patch over current qmail 1.03
Hi, I've already installed: Qmail 1.03+Vpopmail 4.10+sqwebmail+daemontools+ezmlm+autoresond+ucspi (PHWEW!) and I was wondering what would happen if I patched a brand new qmail 1.03 with the qmailqueue patch (I want to use virus scanning) and installed the patched qmail over itself. Would I lose anything? Files, configurations, etc? Thanks in advance, Michael _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

You shouldn't have to use a brand new qmail 1.03 -- none of the packages above require patching qmail, to my knowledge, so what you're running now is a pure vanilla qmail plus addons. Would I lose anything? Files, configurations, etc? You shouldn't. Just cd to the qmail source directory where you previously compiled qmail. Then apply the QMAILQUEUE patch, and do make setup check.

Re: Qmailqueue patch over current qmail 1.03
No, I did. the qmail-queue patch only mods 2 files and the config for it is also by itself. qmail-queue will slow down mail processing (did in my case) so if its a medium/high volume smtp server then you better plan for some additional bogomips to fire off the scanning. -- Paul Farber Farber Technology [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ph 570-628-5303 Fax 570-628-5545 On Tue, 14 Aug 2001, board master wrote: Hi, I've already installed: Qmail 1.03+Vpopmail 4.10+sqwebmail+daemontools+ezmlm+autoresond+ucspi (PHWEW!) and I was wondering what would happen if I patched a brand new qmail 1.03 with the qmailqueue patch (I want to use virus scanning) and installed the patched qmail over itself.

Given that the same thing is currently done by writing a one-line shell
script, I really can't see the advantage given the extra overhead...
I've had several occassions with other products where I have the opposite
problem. They allow you to call /bin/sh -c 'program arg1 arg2...', and I
find it doesn't work as expected. So I end up writing one-line shell scripts
and call that instead :-)

I vote to leave it alone. Let the configuring individual invoke
/bin/sh in QMAILQUEUE herself if she understands and still wants to
make that particular convenience vs. overhead tradeoff.

Qmailqueue Patch and 451 error
I'm not sure if this is appropriate for the qmail list, but here goes... On two occasions now I've had qmail suddenly stop processing outgoing (only) mail. I have not been able to correspond this to any events and there were no changes to the qmail configuration, firewall or internal (behind the firewall) mail server at either failure. At both times, the mail server was running happily with the qmailqueue patch for months. At the first failure, I tried queue-fix, re-creating the /var/qmail/queue dirs, and changing the QMAILQUEUE env variable from pointing to our virus filter to its original destination of qmail-queue. What finally fixed it, however, was re-installing qmail from a virgin qmail tarball without the qmail queue patch. What's also odd is that the error message was different both times. The first, I got: deferral: IPAddr_failed_after_I_sent_the_message./Remote_host_said:_451_qq_write_err or_or_disk_full_(#4.3.0)/ The second time: deferral: IPAddr_failed_after_I_sent_the_message./Remote_host_said:_451_qq_internal_ bug_(#4.3.0)/ Again, both times the fix was to re-install qmail without the QMAILQUEUE patch. SO, I believe this patch to be mature and widely used. I have no idea why this is going on and why I haven't seen similar complaints in the list archives. It's occurred on both a RH6.2 system and RH7.0 system, both instances were running the most current fixes. The box delivers all its mail internally via smtproutes. Any ideas? Thanks!

Coding scripts for QMAILQUEUE patch
Hi: I would like to write some scripts to rewrite headers on incoming messages received through qmail. I patched qmail with QMAILQUEUE patch, and now it works OK. I know that Bruce Guenter's qmail-qfilter could be helpful here, bit I would like to use QMAILQUEUE directly by now. The question: is there some repository for filtering scripts using QMAILQUEUE directly ?. A simple script that reads messages from qmail-smtpd and passes them as-is to qmail-queue will be very helpful to me. I'm sure this script is quite simple (maybe just opening a couple of fd from which to read the messages from), but I'd like to get a working script to build on it and learn (a bash script would be perfect :).

Problems making QMAILQUEUE patch work
Hi everyone: I can't make qmail-queue patch work: I always get 451 unable to exec qq (#4.3.0) when finishing DATA with a . on a line by itself (telnet to port 25). The interesting part is, whenever QMAILQUEUE environment variable is set, no matter its value, the mail doesn't end in qmail-queue. However, unsetting QMAILQUEUE makes mail delivery work as expected. I've been looking at the source code, and the problem appears to be in qmail.c:qmail_open() (just appears to be, because I've been unable to build the Debian package binaries with debugging information). As long as 451 unable to exec qq (#4.3.0) is errorcode 120, the possible point of failure is either on if (fd_move(.. or on execv(.. Am I missing something ?. My setup is as follows. Debian Woody's qmail-src package, as of release 18 (that is, original qmail 1.03 plus netscape progress bar and big DNS patches). Apart from that, 0.0.0.0, remote authentication, mail from authentication and qmail-queue patches cleanly applied. As Debian places qmail binaries under /usr/sbin, qmail-queue patch was modified to reflect the change on the paths. My /etc/tcp.smtp includes: 192.168.1.10:allow,MFCHECK=1,QMAILQUEUE=/usr/sbin/qmail-queue I've tried many scripts as values for QMAILQUEUE and always get unable to exec qq. If QMAILQUEUE is not set, no problems. Any help is highly appreciated.

QMAILQUEUE patch
Saw that someone posted a question about it last Friday, but it was not answered. I searched through the archives for the answer, but could not find it so I am going to ask again. I got the QMAILQUEUE patch the other day so I could get scan4virus working. When I tried running the patch on the qmail source, it failed out.

I got the patch again by a different method, just to make sure it did not get corrupted somehow, but I am getting the same failure message. I deleted all of the message body from the top of the patch at let it start with: diff -u qmail-1.03-orig/Makefile qmail-1.03/Makefile The first part fails when patching the Makefile: Hunk #1 failed at 1483. Next it tried to patch qmail.c Hunk #1 failed at 6. Could this be because I used the DNS qmail patch? If so, should I untar the qmail source again, run the QMAILQUEUE patch and then the DNS patch or will this not work? I don't want to waste the time trying this if it won't work. Any help would be appreciated, thanks. Michael French I.T. Department Asheville Citizen-Times application/ms-tnef
qmailqueue-patch
Hi, I am tryint to get http://www.qmail.org/qmailqueue-patch to work - with little success. I downloaded qmail-1.03 from the www.qmail.org site, and then the patch. One would assume a somewhat sanitised work environment. This is the output of the patch process. # patch -p0 qmailqueue-patch patching file `qmail-1.03/Makefile' Hunk #1 FAILED at 1483. 1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to qmail-1.03/Makefile.rej patching file `qmail-1.03/qmail.c' I'm hoping that someone could shed a little light on the problem if it wouldn't be too much trouble. Take care, J.P. Racine [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I found my problem by putting the problem message in a text file and piping it into my filtering program (like your log_sent). I immedately saw the script error on screen and was able to correct it. You may need to monkey with some environment variables to duplicate the problem environment, though.

Qmailqueue patch?!?
Hi!! I have tried to install the qmailqueue patch a couple of times. But when I try to send mail through SMTP I keep getting "qq internal bug" all the time. I have done the following things: 1. Applied the qmailqueue patch to qmail-1.03 source. (no error messages) 2. Recompiled and reinstalled qmail 1.03 3. edited the /etc/tcp.smtp and added QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/qmail-qftest". 4. recompiled /etc/tcp.smtp to /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb 5. edited the /var/qmail/bin/qmail-qftest and added qmail-qfilter as a command. 6. Downloaded, edited and compiled qmail-qfilter. 7. restarted server. When I rename qmail-qftest to something else I get "qq exec error", so the qmailqueue patch should be alright. The system is a debian linux with kernel 2.2.1 Does anyone have any idea on what could be wrong?? Regards, Jesper Ekberg

The only thing that this leaves out is the return code from qmail-queue, which you probably want to pass on to your caller.
