dot-qmail-default
I'have installed qmail on my system, but I don't know if is necesary to create a .qmail-default file, because I don't clearly understand the meaning of this file. Should I create it? and what should I write there? ~edu

Hi, I am using qmail + vpopmail. Currently, I am facing this problem. I have email account like test, test-a, test-b everything works fine. However, when someone send a mail to test-c, it's send to test instead. Is there anyway i can configure it such that if there isn't any valid account or .qmail file, then the mail should be bounce instead of being delivered. Please advice Thanks Johnny

Hello, Thank you very much for your help, patience to read my email and time to answer it, specially to Keary Suska and Brad Dameron. I appreciated it very much. Your advices helped a lot! It worked finally! I created the dot-qmail in the level of the domains and put dot-qmail with the name like dot-qmail-virtualuser. Besides this, I also tried to create the file as the vpopmail user, instead to change the ownership after. But really the dot-qmail doesn't work under the folder of the virtual user, it causes a lot of problem.

Sorry to ask basic questions, I am newbie in this domain. The uid 511 is the vpopmail user, but if it is rejecting why when I tested it with mailing to another user, that user received, even with all the looping? Not rejecting, "re-injecting". vpopmail is invoking qmail (probably qmail-inject) and asking it to resend the message. That would be the reason for the duplicate delivery headers Apparently, vpopmail is also successfully delivering the message. The top level means in the domains level or in the vpopmail folder? And what means "include the vpopomail invocations found in .qmail-default". Yes. vpopmail works by telling qmail to deliver messages to ~/vpopmail/domains/virtualdomain.com/ (~ being whatever the vpopmail home is, whether /var or /home or whatever). In that directory, there is a .qmail-default that tells qmail to invoke the vpopmail delivery program to actually deliver the message (IIRC). At that point, the vdeliver program either delivers the message or returns an error to indicate no such user or what not. A .qmail-user file will override the .qmail-default, and be used for delivery instructions. To do this, you could cd into the particular directory for the virtual domain, copy the .qmail-default file to the appropriate .qmail-user name (e.g. .qmail-henry), then append your command line for sending the alerts. If mail gets delivered but no alerts are sent, then the vdeliver program is telling qmail to stop processing the .qmail file, in which case you have to move your command line above the line(s) provides in the .qmail-default file. It should theoretically be that simple. -K "Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger."

dot qmail problem (HELP NEEDED URGENT)
Hello, I have RedHat 6.0 and RedHat6.2. There is qmail-1.03; vpopmail and sqwebmail installed as major sotwares for mail.

I found some scripts in the mailing list and tried a simple one just to test: "| egrep -e '^From:|Subject:' | Mail -s YouGotMail [EMAIL PROTECTED]" But the time that I put this in the .qmail and the user received one new message, it started to send thousands of email to without stoping until I removed dot-qmail.

Re: dot qmail problem (HELP NEEDED URGENT)
Qmail is not very robust when it comes to dealing with errors or unexpected conditions in .qmail files. The most common response by qmail in such a situation is to get into an infinite delivery loop. That being said, if I recall correctly, there is particular behavior of qmail's delivery system that is effected by the return status of piped programs. I don't recall what these are, but it could be that a status of 0 (what would be returned by your command line) may not be the status desired. Another issue could be that I recall some issues with using piped commands with vpopmail. Since it is actually vpopmail that handles the final delivery step (you can see this in the .qmail-default file of your virtual domain directory), it could be vpopmail that is returning an unexpected result to qmail and causing it to attempt redelivery. I believe it is qmail-local that handles local deliveries for qmail--have you read over its docs? -K "Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger."

Re: dot qmail problem (HELP NEEDED URGENT)
Qmail is not very robust when it comes to dealing with errors or unexpected conditions in .qmail files. What do you base this on? The experience of the rest of the members of the list would tend to show that this is simply incorrect. In retrospect, it could be true that the issue is with vpopmail, since my experiences are based only on both, but only if vpopmail is explicitly reinjecting the email. If it is instead returning a status that does not indicate to qmail to stop attempting delivery or whatever, qmail should get the clue that delivery isn't going to happen after some number of failures (and that shouldn't be thousands). But since I can't say for sure what is happening, I will have to withdraw my comment for the moment. -K From: Charles Cazabon [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Mon, 2 Apr 2001 15:19:42 -0600 To: Qmail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: dot qmail problem (HELP NEEDED URGENT) Keary Suska [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The most common response by qmail in such a situation is to get into an infinite delivery loop.

dot qmail aliases files
Hello, I'd like to create an alias, like [EMAIL PROTECTED] I tried to create a file ".qmail-firstname.lastname" in /var/qmail/aliases This doesn't work, my qmail configuration is working properly and other aliases without any dots are also working . Is the dot forbidden in a dot-mail alias file ? How could I create this alias then ? Thanx S. ROZIER

It was really a vpopmail question, and I'll bet people over on that mailing list would have spotted this issue considerably sooner. -- 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/

Something strange with dot-qmail !
Hi ... I use qmail vpopmail and I was trying to setup a dot-qmail to forward emails to another account , at the same time retain a copy of message on maildir, but I did not succeed. Here is the content of my .qmail file. __ [EMAIL PROTECTED] /var/vpopmail/domains/ipko.org/test/ - "(I've tried to add ./Maildir/ as well)" When I send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] , I get an error reply from MAILER-DAEMON that "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" is not listed in control/locals ... bla bla bla ... As you see the second line in my .qmail containing my path to Maildir is treated as E-mail address and not as a local path. I have read the "man dot-qmail" manual , and tried everything , but the problem remains the same. If anybody can help me on that , I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance, Visar

dot-qmail and pipe not working properly
Hi all, I have a problem which I've been banging my head against. I have a .qmail alias file set up as follows: cat .qmail-unsubscribe_education unsubscribe in /home/unsubscribe/.qmail, I have: ./Maildir/ | /home/unsubscribe/MagazineUnsubscribe.py /home/unsubscribe/unsub.log Now, the weird thing is that qmail won't pass the mail to stdin like it should (executing the second line of my .qmail...passing the mail to my python script). I have tried: changing the ownership of the .py script (to alias and the grp to qmail) and it still won't work. Any answers here? Also, in my Maildir, I eventually get multiple copies of this email. I believe this problem is somehow related, but I've been banging my head on the keyboard too much to see how. Any help or ideas appreciated. TIA, Tom

Thank you Ben, Strange...I checked the logs and found that maillog wasn't recording anything and then i went to /var/log/qmail and found 3 folders: qmail-pop3d/ qmail-send/ qmail-smtpd/. In these, there wasn't anything really useful..the last logged file was on Aug 14th! It appeared we were running without logging anything! So, I asked our mail admin why splogger wasn't running and to please turn it on. We got this running and suddenly, POOF, it works...the mail is piped in the the python script and the python script executes. Any explanations to why it suddenly started working when logging was turned on?

Re: RFC: web interface to manage user dot-qmail files
Nice project, but I'm asking myself if many people use .qmail-* : there are currently two great tools for multiple domains administrations : vmailmgr and vpopmail. And both have web-based administrations tools which allow to do praticaly everything you have listed on your homepage : add users, responders, change password, add alias, etc. (replace add with delete and modifiy also). I don't use vpopmail, but I know there is a nice C(++?) based administration, plus some other tools. About vmailmgr (which I use on a lots of small and big servers), there is now omail-admin (http://omail.omnis.ch) which is a PHP4 based web administration : you can try it on http://admin.omnis.ch/admin2/ (test.com as login, and test as password, and also [EMAIL PROTECTED], after that you created an user or an alias). The main problem I see about a program which should work with .qmail-* files, is that it must then be run with the same userid as the directory owner - one cgi-script per domain, or one suid script, which is never really good on any system... HTH, Olivier PS: what is IMHO missing for qmail would be an administration tool for all these /var/qmail/control files... -- _ Olivier Mueller - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - PGPkeyID: 0E84D2EA - Switzerland

the point with the dot in dot-qmail
hi, i would like to forward incoming emails for an special user of a virtual domain to an external email-address. my emailformat is always i.e. [EMAIL PROTECTED], which nearly all of my customers want to have. all emails to vdomain.com are delivered to a local user "vdomain" and fetched via pop3 by user "vdomain". there is an empty .qmail-default in /home/vdomain/. now, if i touch a new .qmail file like i.e. /home/vdomain/.qmail-bob.miller with i.e. [EMAIL PROTECTED] inside, mails for [EMAIL PROTECTED] are still delivered to "vdomain". altering .qmail-bob.miller to .qmail-bob_miller forwards correctly, but this doesn't fit to my emailformat using a "." instead of "_". qmail seems not to like a second "." in any dot-qmail files. is there no way to get forwarding working with the "." ? -- jens - department computer science, university of dortmund linux ... life's too short for reboots!

I've tried creating: /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-ezeelynx:com:au-willows with a line: [EMAIL PROTECTED] but this file is ignored and any mail that comes in to [EMAIL PROTECTED] just goes straight into the willows mailbox.

Re: forcing /var/spool/mail delivery using a dot-qmail file
Kristina writes: I want to configure qmail-local to deliver mail to /var/spool/mail/username/ Maildir. You might try putting '/var/spool/mail/$LOCAL/Maildir/' in /var/qmail/rc (or whatever you use to start qmail), in place of the default delivery method (probably ./Maildir or '|preline procmail'). This probably won't work, though; I don't think the delivery method is subject to shell interpretation or plain variable substitution. Make sure $LOCAL is contained within single quotes, as above; otherwise, it certainly won't work. (It doesn't matter whether the quotes are around just $LOCAL or the whole thing.) Note that this will affect everyone who doesn't use their own .qmail, and so they'll need their own Maildirs as well. The /usr/share/man/cat5/dot-qmail.0 file tells you how to write a .qmail file to change delivery, however its too difficult for me to comprehe nd. Put the line /var/spool/mail/username/Maildir/ in username's .qmail file. (Don't forget the / at the end.) This will certainly work; doing it system-wide is the hard part. I use something similar myself; my .qmail contains: /var/spool/maildir/username/ Perfect delivery isn't guaranteed for asynchronously-mounted filesystems, and mounting /home synchronously would be unpleasant, so I mount /var synchronously and deliver mail there. paul

if you need to actually STORE the mail spool under /var/spool/mail/*, then yes, you need procmail or similar. however, if you just need to fool stupid lusers/mail clients, you can deliver to the homedir and have a symlink from /var/spool/mail/user - ~user/Mailbox. of course, mbox delivery has its own problems, which are well known to this list :) shag - Original Message - From: Tim Hunter [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Fri 4 Feb 2000 7.37 Subject: RE: /var/spool/mail delivery using a dot-qmail file I agree, I used to deliver to /var/spool/mail/$USER but I am happy to say I do no longer.

Re: dot-qmail with virtualdomains
Hi Joel, Actually, I already tried what you suggested, and it didn't work (which is why I posted on the mailing list). What happens is when qmail hits .qmail-user1, it will rewrite the receiver's email address according to the instructions in that file. So, [EMAIL PROTECTED], will hit .qmail-user-default (not .qmail-user), and the receiptor will be rewritten as [EMAIL PROTECTED] (which takes away the user-email account I wanted to reach in the first place). I'm wondering if the solution is not to put all the domains I want in the "locals" file in /var/qmail/control. Any reasons why this shouldn't be done? Only restrictions seem to be that someone in domain1 can't have the same username as domain2 Joel Shellman wrote: "John L. Fjellstad" wrote: Hi Joel, Thanks, that answers half of my questions.
