Now, if you can convince your users to use one or the other then you could just put the proper delivery instruction in their .qmail file. i.e. for user joe who wants mailbox format: ~joe/.qmail: ./Mailbox and for fred who wants pop (using maildir) ~fred/.qmail: ./Maildir/ Of course, now if joe wants pop then he will be out of luck unless you do something like: ~joe/.qmail: ./Mailbox ./Maildir/ Hmm, I see I didn't say that very well. Users who use mbox can't check via pop. Users who need pop can also read locally, but only using maildir-aware tools (like mutt). -- David Dyer-Bennet / Welcome to the future! / [EMAIL PROTECTED] SF: http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/ Minicon: http://www.mnstf.org/minicon/ Photos: http://dd-b.lighthunters.net/

Thus said Alberto Dainotti on Sun, 11 Mar 2001 15:31:30 +0100: Is there a pop server allowing to use the maildir format for users who have "Maildir" and a standard Mailbox file for the other users ? qmail-pop3d comes with qmail, but it only supports maildir, why would you want both? The ideal thing would be that this pop server would work with ssl too. You can wrap SSL around pop using stunnel. Is there a way to convert a Mailbox to maildir format ? I believe someone wrote a script to do this already---look on qmail.org for it. Andy -- [---[system uptime]] 12:27pm up 25 days, 12:30, 5 users, load average: 1.08, 1.27, 1.26

Does the user need to direct the Netscape mail reader to the "Mailbox" directory somehow, instead of the server domain address? Hello James, does the user read her mail directly on the server with NetScape or via POP/IMAP? If the last one is true, you might try the following: - if you have a recent version of imapd (4.6) it will take a file $HOME/mbox as standard-INBOX if it finds one. - Otherwise you could try to ``ln -s $HOME/Mailbox /var/spool/mail/$USER'', which is the next place, where UW-imapd looks into (NetScape running ``locally'' mail should look into this as well).

James wrote: 1) I have had qmail working wonderfully on RedHat Mandrake 6.0 for many months now.. but I am having a problem with relaying. I've gone through the steps on this page: http://www.palomine.net/qmail/relaying.html but I am confused about something.. if I set up an ip address in rcpthosts, *and* in RELAYCLIENT, does this mean the user can ONLY send mail if he/she is connected to the server (say, with telnet)? I have added the user's ip address to both, and user cannot use server as a relay when not connected directly to the server. rcpthosts lists domains that qmail will deliver mail to no matter who uses the relay to send mail to them. For instance your rcpthosts is: cia.gov nsa.gov This allows _anyone_ connecting to your qmail server to send messages to those domains. If I am a Russian spy and I telnet to port 25 on your qmail server. I can then do a: mail from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] rcpt to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] data Blah blah blah . This message will be delivered. If I as the Russian spy telnetting to your qmail port 25 did this same thing to [EMAIL PROTECTED], the message would not be delivered to hotmail.com because hotmail.com is not in your rcpthosts. Now people can not use your qmail server to spam the world because the qmail server will only send messages to cia.gov and nsa.gov. This presents a problem to your local users because now they can't send mail out to hotmail.com since it is not in the rcpthosts. You can however set up tcpserver to pass a RELAYCLIENT environment variable to the qmail server for ip addresses of your choosing. Say you have set up your tcp.smtp with a: 192.168.10.:allow, RELAYCLIENT="" :allow and have recompiled the rules tcprules tcp.smtp.cdb tcp.smtp.temp tcp.smtp and then stopped and restarted qmail and tcpserver Now everyone with an address in the subnet 192.168.10 should be able to send mail to any host they wish. Everyone not in the subnet 192.168.10 connecting to qmail will only be able to send mail to nsa.gov and cia.gov. Putting an address for Joe Smith at 192.168.10.103 in rcpthosts just simply allows mail to be delivered to host 192.168.10.103, and has no bearing on where Joe Smith can send mail. Your rcpthosts should only contain domains you receive mail for. Your tcp.smtp should contain the subnets and/or ip addresses of the users you wish to be able to use the qmail server as a relay to send mail anywhere. Forgive my rambling Fox [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Quoting Charles Leeds ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): [...] You can however set up tcpserver to pass a RELAYCLIENT environment variable to the qmail server for ip addresses of your choosing. Say you have set up your tcp.smtp with a: 192.168.10.:allow, RELAYCLIENT="" :allow and have recompiled the rules tcprules tcp.smtp.cdb tcp.smtp.temp tcp.smtp and then stopped and restarted qmail and tcpserver A very lucid explanation, the only correction being needed on the above. No need to restart anything after modifying the tcp rules. Aaron
