Virtual Domains Delivering to Local Users - PROBLEM..
Hi All, Im using virtualdomains with a line like this.. nothingbut.net.nz:alias I have fastforward installed and working correctly.. I have in /etc/aliases - [EMAIL PROTECTED]:craig now.. when i post a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] i get this back from qmail-send Hi. This is the qmail-send program at localhost. I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out. [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1) --- Below this line is a copy of the message. /etc/aliases works fine.. IF i am forwarding to a remote address.. the username craig is a local pop account.. i am storing mail in /var/spool/mail if thats relivant.. the user craig does exist, and the directory /home/craig is owned and writeable by the user craig. thanks in advance! craig
Help with virtual domains - mail bouncing
I need help with a virtual domain. One of our sister companies site has been down for a while, and email is starting to bounce to their domain. We were going to setup qmail to be able to at least hold their mail, until either 1) we were able to create the necessary alias's or 2) their site comes online. I created entries in control/rcpthosts, and control/virtualdomains: control/rcpthosts: ourdomain.com sisterdomain.com control/virtualdomains: ourdomain.com:ourdomain-com sisterdomain.com:alias But when I restart qmail, all mail for their domain starts bouncing because I dont have their alias's setup yet. Is there a way around this? Please help Matt
POP3 and Virtual Domains
Hello! I have a question about setting up pop3 access for virtual domains. For example, suppose I have 2 virtual domains on my server = vdomain1.com and vdomain2.com I need to set up the following email addresses, each one will be accessed by a DIFFERENT person through POP3 (i.e. with MS Outlook): [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] So I need to set up 4 pop3 accounts for these people. I am using qmail-pop3d and the maildir format. I am confused about virtual domains in qmail. According to LWQ, having virtual domains is as simple as adding to the virtualdomains file = vdomain1.com:vdomain1_user vdomain2.com:vdomain2_user and set up 2 linux system users with the names vdomain1_user and vdomain2_user and in each user's home directory put .qmail-support and .qmail-webmaster Now this all looks great, but here I have a problem. How will the pop3 program access the email? My test user had only one .qmail file (no virtual domains yet or extensions yet) and the pop3 client was set up with the regular linux username and password. So the gist of the question is, if a regular linux user's home directory has only 1 .qmail file without any extensions, then pop3 access can be set up simply by using that user's linux username and password. But if there are many .qmail-ext files with extensions in the user's home directory, then how to configure the usernames and passwords so that separate people can access the Maildir controled by each .qmail-ext? As far as I know, the usename and the password is the same for all of them. Or, is there a better way to cnfigure all this? I admit that I am a newbie at this, so answers (ideally with detailed instructions) are greatly appreciated. Thanks a bunch!!! __ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!

strange behaviour at (some) virtual domains..
we are using a qmail, vpopmail server (default install, no locals only virtual domains and roaming users enabled) and some of our customers do have more than one domain. In this cases our last sysadmin made a symlink instead of using the virtualdomains control file. He just added the domain using vadddomain, then deleted the domain dir and made a ln -s .. This way it was working well. rcpthosts did contain some like.. -- domain1.tld domain2.tld -- and virtualdomains did contain.. -- domain1.tld:domain1.tld domain2.tld:domain2.tld --- Now i wanted to remove this links and add the domains in my virtualdomains file instead, but it only works for some of the domains!!! so i did remove the ln and did change the virtualdomaisn file it now shows some like.. -- domain1.tld:domain1.tld domain2.tld:domain1.tld --- This is made for umm..4-5 main domains, and in near all cases it works. Even not in all of them!!! In two cases it does not work, and i have no clue why it doesn´t work! I also did check our NS, and a lookup works well for all domains. I all cases it point to the main domain IP. However qmail wont accept mails and bounces them back.. ..a part of the failure message i get back.. --- Hi. This is the qmail-send program at mail.pop-stuttgart.net. I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

ONLY virtual domains?
Is it possible to ONLY use virtual domains? I'd like to do this for oganizational sake more than anything else (I am using vmailmgr and like to have each domain controlled under on home dir). For example, let's say I have a machine named mail.mydomain.com. The MX record for mydomain.com points to that machine. I also serve mail for anotherdomain.com and thirddomain.com. What would happen if I listed mydomain.com in "virtualdomains" along with the other two? Is it possible to leave "locals" and plusdomains" empty? Does it matter? Would that give me the desired result? Thanks, Sean _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com

Not that I like this behaviour: the vpopmail package does that.
Not strictly speaking; qmail-send does that.
virtualdomains
List of virtual users or domains, one per line. A
virtual user has the form user@domain:prepend, with
out any extra spaces. When qmail-send sees the
recipient address user@domain, it converts it to
prepend-user@domain and treats it as local.
But it's better to leave it untouched. Like Chris wrote it's ther to
prevent mail loops.

I'm not sure what you mean. If ``example.com'' is in virtualdomains as, say:
example.com:exampleuser
Then the Delivered-To: line of:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
will be added for [EMAIL PROTECTED] regardless of whether vpopmail is
being used or not. For instance, I see this exact same behavior with
vmailmgr.
qmail doesn't add the Return-Path and Delivered-To lines when delivering to programs:
from `man qmail-command':
[...]
WARNING: The mail message does not begin with qmail-
local's usual Return-Path and Delivered-To lines.
[...]
vpopmail adds Return-Path and Delivered-To itself:
from vdelivermail.c:
[...]
sprintf(msgbuf, "%sDelivered-To: %s@%s\n",
getenv("RPLINE"), TheUser, TheDomain);
[...]
But maybe I'm just misunderstanding...wouldn't be the first time. :-)

virtual domains ONLY?
Is it possible to ONLY use virtual domains with qmail? An example: My mail machine is mail.mydomain.com. It also accepts mail for yourdomain.com and ourdomain.com. ourdomain and yourdomain are set up and working through virtual domains. What I'd like to do is also have mail sent to mydomain.com also handled as a virtual domain rather than local. So, is it possible to have an empty "locals" and "defaultdomain" file and handle all mail using virtualdomains (and rcpthosts) even though the machine is part of mydomain.com?

Check out http://freshmeat.net/projects/checklocalpwd/ for a version of checkpassword that can authenticate in this manner. I also recommend setting up all of your real users on the same interface as your virtual users and then symbolically linking the mail directory to which the virtual account would normally point to the real user's mail directories. Keep inherent permissions in mind here or you'll have a big security hazard. If you can't find a secure way of doing that, you can always just write a shell script which will update the real users' e-mail directories off from their virtual accounts and either make it a command or throw it in your crontab. -- Keith Network Engineer Triton Technologies, Inc.

Salutations to all: What extra functionality and/or versatility is provided by fastforward compared to virtualdomains? If a hosted-domain client wants mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED], this is handled by locals. But if we want [EMAIL PROTECTED] to land in user1's mailbox and anyaddressee@hosteddomain.com to land in user2's mailbox, what is the preferred (and cleanest) arrangement? What about a similar situation with all users on a foriegn system ? And as I understand it, with fastforward, ALL domains are locals and the .qmail-default and aliases files handle the re-arrangement, correct?

Virtual Domains
Hi all, I'm trying to configurate Virtuals Domains and reading the documentation I reached the following procedure which I would like you to verify if it is right or wrong. Given a new domain called "test.com" I would do the following: 1 - I create an user for the domain, which is going to receive all e-mails. Example: test 2 - I add domain to RCPTHOSTS and VIRTUALDOMAINS. In this file I would insert the line "test.com:test". 3 - Given a new mailbox ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) in this domain, I would do the following: I would create the user "peter-test", I would do so because if there were any other peter in any other domain, what it would do would be "peter-otherdomain". Is this right or is there any other way of doing it? 4. In the Home directory of the "test" user I would create a file ".qmail-peter" which would have the following forward: "peter-test". Well, my query is : is this procedure right? or, is there any other way of doing it? Thanking you beforehand, Andrs

Virtual domains and forwarding.
1. I have another domain I need to host on my machine. Is it possible to send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and it will forward to an email address (external to the domain.com machine) without the email data passing through domain.com? I don't think this is possible.
Re: Virtual domains and forwarding.
I am not sure what you mean here by, "without the email data passing through domain.com." If your host is listed as the mail host for the domain, it will have to handle it one way or another. If you have an additional domain that you want to host, say, domain2.com, you would simply add the domain to the virtualdomains control file then tell qmail where to deposit it (see the FAQ regarding virtual domains). But if you mean that you want your mail server to act as a relay--i.e., although your host is set up as the mail host in DNS, but mail is actually to be delivered to a remote machine, you would make the virtualdomains entry then an appropriate smtproutes entry (IIRC). -K "Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger."

I currently use the following to start it: /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -H 0 pop3 \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup mail.somedomain.com \ /usr/local/bin/checkvpw \ /usr/sbin/relay-ctrl-allow \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 21 | \ /var/qmail/bin/splogger pop3d I am testing linux/qmail/qmail-pop3d/vmailmgr/omail-webadmin as a replacement for my current winnt/mailmax configuration. Thanks Chad Hinton [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The standard checkpassword only verifies against regular system accounts, but there are many alternative checkpassword implementations to support what you want to do, and more. In fact, there's a whole section of the page at www.qmail.org which is dedicated to checkpassword versions.

location of virtual domains mail.
I didn't get a response to this the first time around, so here it is again. Is the /var/qmail/users/assign file the only file that needs to be changed to specify a new location for mail per virtual domain? Peter Brezny SysAdmin Services Inc.

Virtual domains
I'm hosting multiple domains on my machine. Would like to use qmail, but I'm not sure how to solve the following. Say I have 3 users: joe, john, brenda. Each of them is "associated" with a different domain I host, say [EMAIL PROTECTED] is the webmaster for www.domain1.com, [EMAIL PROTECTED] is webmaster for www.domain2.net, etc. If mail arrives for [EMAIL PROTECTED], I can have it delivered to user joe by setting up a virtual user in control/virtualdomains and adding a line to users/assign. But if someone writes to [EMAIL PROTECTED], qmail will deliver it to joe, because there exists a real user 'joe' on the system. But joe is not "supposed" to have an email account under domain2.net. Any pointers will be appreciated. ch7

I don't use virtual users, only domains (in control/virtualdomains; the virtual users are controlled by qmail files under the user directory that control/virtualdomains associates with that domain); but your example doesn't seem to depend on them. [EMAIL PROTECTED] is a virtual user, but you say that joe is a *real* user, and that there is no joe user defined for domain2 (either as a virtual user in control/virtualdomains.com, or as a user in the virtual domain controlled by a ~domain2/.qmail-joe file, where "~domain2" should be the home directory of the user controlling your virtual domain2). Um, there isn't a ~domain2/.qmail-default that forwards to local user joe by any chance is there? Short of the things listed above, or anything I've overlooked :-), this shouldn't happen; if it happens for you, something is misconfigured, or your test isn't testing what you're thinking. I'm user ddb on this system. I host a virtual domain mnstf.org, in which there is no user ddb.

I have a mail server running qmail and accepting mail for a virtual domain via fastforward (all mail addressed to @mydomain.com is sent to a user). Mail coming into this server for the virtual domain is being sent to the usersmailbox just fine. Now I want to use this users mailbox as a multidrop box. Another server (running qmail) connects to the mailbox and retrieves all the mail but then logs messages indicating that the messages retrieved already have a 'delivered_to". When the messages are put in the users mailbox on the first server the delivered to lines are added thus causing the problem. How can I get this to work? Thanks, Rick

Hi all... A question regarding Virtual "email" Domains and Qmail. If we have a few (2 to 5) virtual domains with approximately 10 to 20 users in each, will qmail handle it securely and robustly ? Is Qmail's handling of Virtual Domains with users email as solid as it's regular handling of email as per it's primary domain ?

Virtual Domains
Hi all, I tyring to get qmail to recognize a virtual domain. In /var/qmail/contol/virtualdomains I have: astcomm.net:chris This should make me the owner of the domain, and mail sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] should be routed to my mailbox. I have a /home/chris/.qmail-default to catch all possiblities. /home/chris/.qmail-default has: ./mbox It doesn't work. I killed qmail and restarted it to read the new files - still no luck. I even shutdown the machine and rebooted it to make sure - still no luck. astcomm.net is in rcpthosts as well as locals and is also specified in the /var/qmail/control/me file. If I put in a specific alias such as /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-info with 'chris' in that file, that alias works fine. What am I overlooking? TIA, Chris Olson

Virtual domains question
Greetings, I am already doing virtual hosting for my friend with his web site (via Apache), and now he would like me to see if I can set up e-mail on this host. The original domain name of the-republic.org is being used currently, and my friend has a shell account on this box and can send/receive mail as [EMAIL PROTECTED] He would like to be able to receive e-mail via his shell account and Pine for foo.com in addition to any e-mail he would receive that is sent to the-republiic.org domain. I read the docs and normally this is _not_ the situtation (two e-mails sent to the-republic.org domain and foo.com domain would end up in the same mailbox). So, how do I approach this? I have set up the MX records for his domain so that mail destined for foo.com will hit this box. Once received, should I just set up qmail virtual domains as is described in the qmail-howto by Adam Mckenna? If so, is it possible to set up the MUA to send out e-mail as [EMAIL PROTECTED]? Any pointers would be helpful. Or tell we where to RTFM, and I'll be more than happy to (if I haven't already :-).

In /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains: the-republic.org:yourfriend foo.com:yourfriend It's telling qmail where to look dot-qmail instructions in ~yourfriend (the homedir of the user yourfriend). For example if you want to set up both [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] you just create ~yourfriend/.qmail-john containing the instructions on where to deliver mail (man dot-qmail for more info). Alternatively you can use, say alias-republicfoo, in place of yourfriend in virtualdomains. Then you create ~alias/.qmail-republicfoo-john for john@. This is useful if your friend didn't have home dir in the machine. HTH, Ronny

It also works with Qmail's dot mail features. www.inter7.com/vchkpw/ Life with Qmail is a well written page about setting up qmail written by Dave Sill Web.InfoAve.Net/~dsill/lwq.html Qmail Howto is another well written page on Qmail written by Adam McKenna www.flounder.net/qmail/qmail-howto.html They both explain the usage of virtual domains and how to use the dot files called dot-qmail which is probably what you are going to need to do. Vpopmail automates the creation of virtual domains and still uses the dot-qmail files. Take Care,
Virtual Domains
Hi, I'm trying to set up virtual domains with Qmail right now. I'm sure there's plenty of documentation other there on this, but I don't seem to be finding it. Any pointers to documentation, or help would be appreciated. What I am trying to accomplish is to have [EMAIL PROTECTED] go to user1 and [EMAIL PROTECTED] go to user2. So far, I have been able to set qmail up to allow [EMAIL PROTECTED] to go to user1, and [EMAIL PROTECTED] to go to user1, but not get the same username on different domains to go to differnt system user. Thanks! -Aaron
Virtual domains
hi Everybody, My virtualdomain file is as follows:- /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains file contains xyz.com:user and if tru to send the mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] it gets delivered to ~user/Maildir/new How do I configured my system or do I make changes so that it can allow other mail server (xyz.com) to pick up the mails from ~user/Maildir via pop3 so that it can delivers the mails to the users on its server. And also will user account can be used by the mail server (xyz.com) to relay the message to the internet. Regards, kamal Batra * Go to: www.NetWala.com " The Internet in every wallet "
RE: Virtual domains
That was amazingly inexplicit... How do I configured my system or do I make changes so that it can allow other mail server (xyz.com) to pick up the mails from ~user/Maildir via pop3 so that it can delivers the mails to the users on its server. Look at fetchmail, or some of the other alternatives mentioned on this list earlier this week...You might be able to optimise the process with a bit of scripting and file transfer stuff but I'll leave that to your imagination... And also will user account can be used by the mail server (xyz.com) to relay the message to the internet. I take it English is not your first language? I couldn't really understand that but if you want to learn about relaying, at a minimal start 'man qmail-control' and read up on smtproutes, and also look in Life With qmail (grab the URL from http://www.qmail.org/top.html) to avoid some very very common mistakes in relaying.

Mails not bouncing for virtual domains
Hi, I have Virtual domains and locals running on my qmail server. For the domains hosted in locals, any incoming mail to a wrongly spelled ID gets bounced immediately to the sender. In case of domains under virtualdomains file the incoming mail for the wrongly spelled user doesn't bounce back, instead the qmail takes it as an remote user and put it to Relay mail server. Since that domain is hosted from the same qmail server the mail comes back, this happens 25 times and then a error message is posted too many hops and then the mail bounce back. My question is why at all the qmail server is forwarding the wrongly spelled incoming mail to te relay mail, it should mark this as a bounce message immediately. Kindly comment on the above issue. thanks Ruchir

In case of domains under virtualdomains file the incoming mail for the wrongly spelled user doesn't bounce back, Then you must have a catch-all .qmail file for the virtual domain. What do you have in control/virtualdomains, what .qmail files to you have for the domain, and what do they contain? instead the qmail takes it as an remote user and put it to Relay mail server. Since that domain is hosted from the same qmail server the mail comes back, this happens 25 times and then a error message is posted too many hops and then the mail bounce back. Copies of log entries or a complete copy of one of the bounce messages would be instrumental in analyzing this problem. -Dave
Problems with virtual domains
Hi I'm new to this list so please excuse me if this subject has been dealt with a gazillion times before. I've read the faq:s and the man pages, but have yet to come up with a solution this (I'm guessing) simple problem of mine: I have two domains (nille.org fett.org) that I would like to have user 'nille' admin. My /var/qmail/controls/virtualdomain looks like this: fett.org:nille-fett nille.org:nille-nille In ~nille/ I have the following files: .qmail-fett-default .qmail-nille-default The both contain this line: nille I have also set rcpthosts locals so that mail to these domains are accepted. Problem: When I send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] it bounces right back with the message: Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1) When I send an email to a [EMAIL PROTECTED] it ends up in their mailbox instead of nille:s. What have I missed here? Any pointers really appreciated. //Nille

solved - Re: problem with virtual domains
hi, today i solved the problem which was caused by a nasty character in the line mydomain.com:georg* in virtualdomains. of course, georg* is no local user and so it's clear why qmail cannot find a mailbox for that user! that character was not visibile in joe, but when printing it to paper, it appears! i removed it and everything works perfectly now again. the only strange thing is, that i can't imagine how this character could appear there. anyway, thanks to both of you for your help ! -- regards, jens --- department computer science, university of dortmund linux ... life's too short for reboots!

That sounds like a problem in the home directory for the user 'georg' Those are the easiest ones to mess up too since they're not in the qmail config directory. Did you possibly remove or change any of your .qmail files? Like a .qmail-default? Try putting a .qmail-default in georg's home directory that contains ./Maildir/ or whatever storage mechanism you use, or even an address to forward all the mail to someone else. Also, make sure you don't have any of those domains in /var/qmail/control/locals that may be moving that mail somewhere before your virtualdomains file is consulted...

Basically, I want to have one virtual user with one .qmail file in it leading to one program which will then handle multiple lists for multiple domains. I can have multiple domains delivered by putting domain1.com:listmanager domain2.com:listmanager into virtualdomains etc. however, I don't know of much that will then process it. MailMan seems to be the nearest option, and will appear to work with qmail. Ok, it doesn't have a mysql backend, but I can live without. I don't think that ezmlm is this program, because it's dependant on too many .qmail files. It also (afaik) needs one user per virtual domain. Did I mention it needed bounce handling, web interfaces, digests and other chummy MLM features too? Does such a program exist? Or do I need to write it !? I think you should use ezmlm (despite of the fact you think it's not good). If you look at qmailadmin (see links on qmails' site) you will see it has lots of options you need. And I don't think that one directory (because it's not user just directory) is too bad. Try to look what's inside all .qmail files created by ezmlm-make. You can change them whatever you want and I'm sure it will work. I wrote my own scripts in php which are started via apache (suexeced to user vpopmail and group vchkpw) and they can change a lot of ezmlm options.

Virtual Domains and MX Records
Hi, I'm totally stuck trying to get qmail working the way I want it to, and the more I try to change configurations the more I get mixed up. The idea is that I have user.domain.co.uk as the virtual domain, so that [EMAIL PROTECTED] is sent to a local mailbox. What I've done so far is: made an MX record pointing to the domain.co.uk machine in qmail/control/virtualdomain entered user.domain.co.uk:username put user.domain.co.uk into rcpthosts and sent a HUP to both named and qmail-send Now reading the FAQ's and howto's etc I was led to believe that this would basically take the following steps: 1) mail arrives at domain.co.uk mail server 2) mail server has domain in its rcpthosts, good 3) is the domain in locals? no.. 4) is the domain a virtualdomain? yes... deliver to username And then username goes and checks his mail and there's the message. At the moment I'm getting a: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1) Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong please? I hope its not something stupid I've forgot, apologies if it is. TIA, Andy.

Not passing virtual domains to a user
I have this setup on my experimental mailserver: I add a user for every virtual domain, their userdir beeing /var/qmail/users/domain-name Then if i want to add a user to that domain i do like this to avoid local conflicts in /var/qmail/users/host.com: .qmail-user - contains "user1234" then the user for that domain has it's home in /var/qmail/users/host.com/user1234 So what happens is that when you mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] it bounces to user1234 (local) that is guaranteed to be unique. It has worked fine up til now. Now i have one vdomain called genline.nu and a test address to that that is [EMAIL PROTECTED] this works fine. Now i added skywalker.nu domain (to the user skywalker.nu) and then added user [EMAIL PROTECTED] and it fails!!! Both entries in /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains exists and for skywalker.nu it's "skywalker.nu:skywalker.nu". Why does not qmail transfer the control for *@skywalker.nu to the skywalker.nu user? The mails get caught in ~/alias/qmail-default Any ideas? /Magnus Naeslund

I was trying to check this set up by telneting to my mail server on port 25 which has qmail running and all these other qmail files. The mail did not reach the address, no error message though. Also the syslog shows an entry like -- starting delivery 19839: msg 286390 to local @help.com instead of remote @test.com help.com being my mail server.

You haven't told us how this is failing. This setup should work, assuming that there isn't a system account named "check." Chris

MS SQL server with virtual domains?
Does anyone know of a way to get an MS SQL server to work via ODBC with any of the virtual domain systems out there for qmail? I know that vpopmail 3.4.12 is supposed to have support when it is finished, but I currently can't find any mention of it in the current beta. OTH any idea how hard it would be to convolute the current MySQL code for it to work across an iODBC connection? Thanks, -Andy- -- Andrew J. Grimberg Programmer WebSuite.com 206-988-2233
Re: MS SQL server with virtual domains?
To use Microsoft SQL with qmail, you'll need some sort of ODBC driver manager for Unix. The one we use is Openlink (www.openlinksw.com), which works fine for us. The main headache is getting ODBC up and running smoothly. Once that's done, you can access the database just like any other SQL database. I'm not familiar with any of the SQL code in vpopmail, but it shouldn't be too difficult to port it to ODBC, as the Openlink stuff comes with headers and libraries. Perl DBI is also an option, I believe the DBD/DBI driver for ODBC is based on Openlink. shag - Original Message - From: "Andy Grimberg" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wed 17 May 2000 15:20 Subject: MS SQL server with virtual domains?
