Re: Help! Bizarre qmail incident...
Darren Kukulka [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Wondering if anyone can enlighten me on some strange qmail behaviour. This doesn't sound like any known behaviour of qmail I've ever experienced, or even heard about. Qmail is currently acting as a primary SMTP forwarder for a client of ours as well as ourselves. We also have an upstream relay which is called upon, as far as I'm aware, when qmail is under a little pressure delivering SMTP. Sorry, I can't parse this. What do you mean upstream relay which is called upon when qmail is under a little pressure delivering SMTP? Stock qmail has no such feature -- either qmail is doing the MX lookups itself, or you are using smtproutes to send everything to an upstream mail hub, or some combination of the two -- but there's no way to have qmail decide where to send mail based on current mail load. We had a situation where a destination SMTP host died and qmail started banking up messages - around 70 or so. Here's where it gets interesting...we have a monitoring program running on the qmail host which emails one of our local exchange accounts via qmail - sendmail actually pumps it out first. Okay -- generating automatic mails when the mail load is high is not the best strategy I've ever seen, but it's common enough. This mail actually came through to us...strangely enough it also went to our relay-host and then got bumped through to a destination address completely different from the intended address...this happened to be an address of one of our clients! Nope. I've never even heard of qmail delivering a message to the wrong host and wrong recipient. Either you're running buggy patches, or you've misconfigured the server. But we can't tell -- we need to see the logs of this happening. Has anybody got any ideas as to what the heck is going on? Post full logs of the incident on a website, then send the URL and the output of qmail-showctl to the list. Until you do that, all we can do is guess.

Re: help setting up virus scanner
If you installed qmail via LWQ your softlimit is likely set too low. There isn't enough memory to load the scanner into memory. Try upping it to 5-6M, i.e. change softlimit -m 20 to 600. This is actually mentioned in the qmail-scanner docs. I use qmail-scanner with uvscan (McAfee) without problems. Regards.

When i Checked the /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd status
it showed
220 hostname ESMTP
502 unimplemenetd (#5.5.1)
I'm experiencing something very similar: When telnet'ing to port 25 of
localhost (i.e., `telnet localhost 25`) I also receive the message
"Connection closed by foreign host." but not an entry in /var/log/messages.
My configuration is slightly different: My RH-7.0 uses xinetd so the
/etc/xinetd.d/smtp file has this entry (from the xinetd FAQ page:
http://www.xinetd.org/faq.html#qmail)...
service smtp

protocol= tcp
wait= no
user= qmaild
server = /usr/sbin/tcpd
server_args = /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env -R
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
}
...and the /etc/hosts.allow file has a single entry...
ALL:ALL
Local delivery works between users though system-aliases (e.g., .qmail-root)
do not.
Please help.

Hi. Did you use maildirmake to create the "Maildir". If not, check if the "Maildir" contains the subdirectories "new", "cur" and "tmp". Check the permissions and owner. Check the trailing slash within the .qmail file. Probably the first step already helps. Yours, Martin.

Re: help for smtp-server on MAPS DULed IP
Christoph Hertel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a little computer here and dial up to a lot of different ISPs. The given IPs are on the MAPS DUL and my smtp-server (at the moment exim, maybe soon qmail) can't get rid of some of my mail (I don't use a smarthost). If you're on dial-up, perhaps qmail (and other "real" MTAs) are not the best solution. You may want to consider a relay-only MTA like nullmailer. One solution would involve a script which changes the smarthost setting in the smtp-server-config everytime I dial up (the smarthost will be the smtp-server of the chosen ISP). This has a few drawbacks: convenience (ISPs are changed quite often) and no guarantee of success (with all the smtp-after-pop and other mysterious ISP-smtp-server settings). ISP smart relays do not require SMTP-after-POP authentication from addresses they control (their dialup pools, etc). If they did, 80% of their customers would be unable to send mail properly, and they'd fix it right quick. The right solution here is always use your ISP's smarthost. That's what it's for, and it will keep your mail from being marked as spam, refused, or outright dropped on the floor by those servers which consult the DUL. The other solution would involve qmail (yeah, finally): From a friend I heard about 'smtp routes' being the solution (apologies to that friend, if I misunderstood, it wasn't the only topic). But as far as I understood the docs, it's something about an alternative to the DNS and using qmail without it. If you decide to use qmail, then have a script which executes when you connect to an ISP which does the following: -`echo ":1.2.3.4" /var/qmail/control/smtproutes -start qmail and another which automatically stops qmail when you disconnect from the ISP. Replace 1.2.3.4 with the IP address of the ISP's smarthost. This will cause all your remote deliveries to be relayed through the ISP's smarthost.

Hi Thomas Ackermann wrote: Relay test result Hmmn, at first glance, host appeared to accept a message for relay. ^^ Would you please be so kind to reread the above line. And you might want to give a second thought to the meaning of the words "at first glance" and "appeared". (Maybe you'd also like to look them up in a dictionary.) Cyril

To answer in a bit more detail -- percenthack is indeed turned off if the file isn't there. If percenthack is turned off, the message is accepted for delivery to user "relaytest%abuse.net". It's likely that you have no such user on your system; if so, the message will be bounced. If you do have such a user, it will be delivered to that user. In no case, however, will it be relayed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (if percenthack is off). What's the very next line of results say? In the versions I've seen, the very next line is even more explanation that it won't know if relaying is going on until the relayed message arrives. -- 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/
