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

* Alex Le Fevre [EMAIL PROTECTED] [010402 17:24]: Since OBSD doesn't seem to want to let me have user names over 8 characters, I'd like to set up an alias to a user account to solve the problem. 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

There are various half-baked solutions, but the ideal way is to set it at the user's end -- either by specifically setting their MUA to create the right From: header and envelope sender address in the first place, or by setting the QMAILUSER/QMAILHOST (or MAILUSER/MAILHOST) environment variables before they run anything leading to qmail-inject. Ideally, just set them in their shell profile/login and be done with it.

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.

I understand that I have to add aliases to ~alias. No, you don't need aliases. 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. 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.

Re: Re: Aliases / Locals
The problem is that I cannot get both things working together. Either
I set up a domain as "local" or as "virtualhost". My first aproach to
solve this is to configure all my domains as "virtualhost" and set up a
alias .qmail-host-user for every user in my system, but I think there's a
easier way to do this.
Set the domain up as a virtual domain.
In control/virtualdomains:
example.com:someuser-example
In ~someuser/.qmail-example-default:
| forward ${DEFAULT}
I need the same thing but inversed :

I want qmail working with several domains, in the following way:
If there's a incoming message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] it will be
delivered to user, whatever the host could be. (assuming there is an
account user in my system)
But I also want to set up aliases for those hosts.
In other words, I want qmail looking for an alias (.qmail-host-user)
first, and if it can't find one, try to deliver the message as local.

Re: aliases for foo.bar
I'm new to qmail, but I haven't found any documentation as to why, when setting up aliases, .qmail-foo works but .qmail-foo.bar (with a ".") gives me a user-unknown error. From the FAQ: 4.6. How do I create aliases with dots? I tried setting up ~alias/.qmail-P.D.Q.Bach, but it doesn't do anything. Answer: Use .qmail-p:d:q:bach. Dots are converted to colons, and uppercase is converted to lowercase. -- gowen -- Greg Owen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: aliases for foo.bar
From "man dot-qmail": WARNING: For security, qmail-local replaces any dots in ext with colons before checking .qmail-ext. For convenience, qmail-local converts any uppercase letters in ext to lowercase. So: .qmail-foo:bar will work as you intend.

So, in your example, you would use: =maxine.green:maxine:xxx:yyy:/home/maxine::: . Where xxx is Maxine's user ID and yyy is her group ID. Don't forget the "." on the last line. Also, don't forget to re-build the cdb with qmail-newu. I have created a file .qmail-maxine.green in /var/qmail/alias with just 'maxine' in it but that doesn't seem to work. It also seems a rather clumsy mechanism if I wanted to create a lot of aliases. man dot-qmail: WARNING: For security, qmail-local replaces any dots in ext with colons before checking .qmail-ext. For convenience, qmail-local converts any uppercase letters in ext to lowercase. Try using .qmail-maxine:green instead. So that's qmail-users, qmail-newu and dot-qmail manual pages I have to look at just to add a simple alias. Also there's still no guidance as to *which* mechanism would be the normal way to do it. Also, the qmail-users approach apparently doesn't replace the . with a : whereas the other approach *does* replace the . with a :. I realise this is all probably to do with the order in which the various processes in qmail handle mail but it's not conducive to helping a newcomer set things up. While I am not a Unix newcomer (I have programmed on Unix systems since the early 80s) I *am* a newcomer to managing a Unix mail system. As I have said before there are now far more people likely to be doing this sort of thing with the coming of small home networks running Linux.
