A better solution to your problem, which is "How do I keep a copy of all messages" is contained in the FAQ: http://cr.yp.to/qmail/faq/admin.html#copies You can make your "special" procmail the default delivery method, but users can override that with their .qmail files. And, yes, you can prevent users from using .qmail files using qmail-users, as Charles suggested, but why not just do it right and not have to worry about diddling with qmail-users? You want your users to be able to create .qmail files, don't you? -Dave

No, you do not need .qmail-default anywhere. A quick google search returned: 1. Dan's own instructions, _contained in the qmail-1.03 distribution_. 2. Numerous other sources.

Make it your default delivery instruction (i.e., argument to qmail-start). See "Life with qmail" for an example of setting up your default delivery instruction, if the qmail documentation isn't clear enough. Beware that users who can create files in their home directories can override this instruction -- if that's a problem, you can use qmail-users to disallow .qmail access.

The SpamBouncer sorts suspected spam into two categories -- mail from known spam sources which is definitely spam, and other mail which is probably spam, but might also be legitimate. It then tags this email with appropriate headers giving the spam classification, and responds according to the parameters you have set. Depending on how you set it up, it will: - Simply tag the suspected spam and return it to your main incoming mailbox, allowing you to set up Eudora, Pegasus Mail, or another POP mail program to retrieve and sort your mail. - Tag the suspected spam, delete spam from known spam sources, and file suspected spam in a separate folder. - Send a simulated MAILER-DAEMON daemon "bounce" to known spammers in hopes that they will think your email address is invalid and remove you from their spam lists. - Complain to the "upstream providers" of known spammers or spam sites/domains, asking that they disconnect the internet service of the spammers. - Notify senders of email tagged as probable spam that their email was intercepted, and give them a password to resend their email and bypass spam filtering if their email was legitimate.

qmail+vmailmgr+procmail+safecat mini-howto
I finally got it working. Maybe it would have been easier to use maildrop (as
Peter Green reported that he got it working with vmailmgr), but I really don't
care, as long as I've got a working server-side filtering system.
Please feel free to comment. Could I have avoided creating
/var/spool/mail/[VMAILDOMAIN_USER] file somehow?
QMAIL+VMAILMGR+PROCMAIL+SAFECAT MINI-HOWTO
--
- Connect to your mail server as root with ssh.
- First check that you have all the programs installed.
- I use the following expressions in this document:
[VMAILDOMAIN_USER] = the user's name in who's home directory the virtual
domain is
installed
[VUSER] = the name of the virtual mail user
For example in my mail server configuration these would be:
[VMAILDOMAIN_USER] = vdomain1
[VUSER] = peter:peltonen
- I found out that if file /var/spool/mail/[VMAILDOMAIN_USER] didn't exist,
procmail
wouldn't work. So check that it exists. If it doesn't, create it and give it
proper ownership:
root# touch /var/spool/mail/[VMAILDOMAIN_USER]
root# chown [VMAILDOMAIN_USER]:mail /var/spool/mail/[VMAILDOMAIN_USER]
First time procmail is used it gives the file proper permissions.
- Create the user's .procmailrc:
root# su - [VMAILDOMAIN_USER] -c "touch
/home/[VMAILDOMAIN_USER]/users/[VUSER]/.procmailrc"
- Make the filtering rules to that file. You can see my example .procmailrc at
the
end of this document. Great advice can be also found at:
http://www.ii.com/internet/robots/procmail/qs/#recipes
- Enable procmail-filtering by editing /home/[VMAILDOMAIN_USER]/.qmail-[VUSER]
file
and replacing the line
--snip--
|/usr/bin/vdeliver
--snip--
to
--snip--
| preline /usr/bin/procmail /home/kotelo/users/peter/.procmailrc
--snip--
NOTE: If you don't have a /home/[VMAILDOMAIN_USER]/.qmail-[VUSER] file,
create it
and put the procmail line in it.
- That's it!
MY EXAMPLE .PROCMAILRC
--
--snip--
#
# tell procmail where to find my maildir
#
MAILDIR="/home/vdomain1/users/peter:peltonen"

However, - a message from the list to me doesn't go through your computers. - you have now revealed that andreas2 is subscribed to the list.

Procmail headaches
Hi all. The qmail-start script (the default one which comes with qmail) has the line "qmail-start '|preline procmail' splogger qmail". Is there some way to avoid a defaultdelivery action, without modifying the log stuff ?. I want to avoid the '|preline procmail' because everytime a message is delivered to a user, procmail gives the following messages: Apr 15 03:04:02 roku qmail: 987296642.282146 delivery 1: success: procmail:_Couldn't_create_"/var/spool/mail/someuser"/did_0+0+1/ Of course, it couldn't create /var/spool/mail/someuser, because /var/spool/mail doesn't exists. The conf file .procmailrc has the DEFAULT & MAILDIR variables pointing to the local Mailbox, and the messages are delivered correctly, but anyway procmail insist to write to a non-existent directory (i love sendmail still-dependent software ).

Using vpopmail with qmail -- with or without procmail?
I'm installing qmail according to the Life with qmail instructions. I'd like to have traditional UNIX mailboxes, and use vpopmail to allow smtp relay after pop authentication.

qmail, qmail-command and procmail
Hello, I have started qmail with the following option in /var/qmail/rc: exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \ qmail-start '|dot-forward .forward |preline procmail' splogger qmail Here I am explicitly using procmail as my MDA. My .qmail has one entry which is, "./Maildir/" When a mail is delivered, I do not think that procmail is being used. The procmailrc has the "VERBOSE" flag set to 'yes' and there is no logging being done for this one particular user. Is qmail-command an MDA for local users?

I am trying to filter email using procmail. what i was doing put a line below on ~/.qmail file: | preline procmail The result is filtered emails delivered to ~/Mail/anyfile (one file) but unfiltered email delivered to /var/spool/mail/ my question is: How to make procmail work with Maildir and as reliable as Maildir? what i have to write on ~/.qmail file ? -- MOkondo i am an atheist, thank god !
can procmail use with vpopmail?

I did. It works--mostly. Instead of standard bounce text, the message is
bounced with the following explaination:
procmail: Quota exceeded while \
writing "Maildir/tmp/zOD.nTq6.mail.themeco.com"
instead of a more standard:
Recipient's mailbox is full, message returned to sender. (#5.2.2)
Not a huge deal, in the grand scheme of things.
For anyone else dealing with the same issue, you can put the following in
your /etc/procmailrc or in $HOME/.procmailrc:
# Needed if running from /etc/procmailrc. Otherwise, messages
# will be unreadable by the user since they will be owned by
# root as mode 0600.
DROPPRIVS=yes
# Deliver to user's maildir folder.
:0
Maildir/
# Bounce mail if delivery fails.
EXITCODE=100
Hope this saves someone an afternoon. :)

Just a quick idea or two off the top of my head, but: 1. Modify procmail to exit status 100 on quota exceeded. 2. (Untested, but logically sound, methinks...)

procmail fix (or replacement?)
Running qmail-1.03 and procmail 3.15.1 under Solaris 2.6 Sparc. When I try to manually run the qmail-procmail script (which calls preline procmail) I get a preline error: preline: usage: preline cmd [ arg ... ] The reason I'm trying this manually is to diagnose why it isn't working from .qmail. I've tried various iterations of cat'ing a real qmail message and just text, but this doesn't appear to help (i.e. cat message | preline procmail gives the same thing). Anyone have an idea on this, or a replacement for procmail? ...Chris

No. First, procmail doesn't need the -m flag. See the procmail section in LWQ: http://www.lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html#procmail Also, if you want delivery via procmail to be the default, specify that on the qmail-start command line, or in the control/defaultdelivery file if you installed using LWQ.

procmail problems (RH6.2)
I'm having trouble with qmail and procmail. I've read the FAQ and the list archives, but am still unsure what to do. I'm using a Linux RedHat 6.2 system. installed qmail. outgoing mail works. incoming mail (from outside) bounces (unknown user) local mail won't be delivered, i.e when I try (from the machine in question): $ mail joe Subject: testing testing . Cc: $ I end up with /var/spool/mail/joe (a symlink to /home/joe/Mailbox) being renamed as BOGUS.joe.1jLB and a new FILE called /var/spool/mail/joe containing the "testing" message. I read in INSTALL.mbox the following: A few mail programs are unable to handle symbolic links, so you will have to configure them to look at ~user/Mailbox directly: * procmail: Change SYSTEM_MBOX in config.h and recompile; or, with recent versions, define MAILSPOOLHOME in src/authenticate.c. but I don't know where to find config.h or authenticate.c... do I have to download the procmail source and recompile after these edits? (There has to be an easier way!) I tried adding ~joe/.qmail-test1 containing: |preline procmail -m /home/awilber/.procmailrc and ~joe/.procmail containing PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin:$PATH ORGMAIL=$HOME/Mailbox MAILDIR=$HOME/mail DEFAULT=$HOME/Mailbox #completely optional LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/procmail.log this didn't work.

Procmail weirdness
Hi, I have a qmail 1.03 server (Redhat 6.0) that's been working fine for 10 months. Recently I added procmail (3.15) to filter out MIME attachments (to /dev/null). Procmail log reports no problems executing recipies, but the messages that are supposed to be dumped to /dev/null continue to get delivered by qmail-local. I've installed the shell wrapper (for error code conversion between procmail and qmail), tried out actions other than dumping to /dev/null (like forwarding to someone - the emails do get forwarded), some variations with recipies; but all yielded the same result - procmail recipies work, but the emails get delivered by qmail-local. Has anyone seen this before? TIA, --- Francisco Jen Ou Intercom Consultores
Re: qmail and procmail
Hi Johan, I stumbled onto this thread because of your earlier message in which you heartily recommended using qmail-queue, procmail -m, and spambouncer. I didn't see any replies to this message. Did you end up resolving the procmail log file problem? In light of that problem, do you still recommend this approach to spam-tagging? (I've been trying to decide whether to go back to rblsmtpd alone, or to go for the kinder, gentler approach of tagging suspected spam rather than rejecting it. I was all set to start using your recommended setup until I read your later message about it.) -c At 12:56 PM +0200 9/17/00, Johan Almqvist wrote: >Hi! > >I've hade quite some success using qmail and procmail together, >especially using spambouncer (http://www.spambouncer.org/), >and, even more, |bouncesaying formail -D 8000 .foo.msgid.file >[That's really neat...] > >However, my procmail logs are filled to the level of unusability >with the following lines: > >procmail: Extraneous deliver-head flag ignored > >How can I make them go away (and go back to tail -f .procmail-log >for biff)? > >-Johan >-- >Johan Almqvist At 12:45 AM +0200 7/26/00, Johan Almqvist wrote: >On Tue, Jul 25, 2000 at 05:27:28PM -0400, Michael T.

In procmailese, the f flag on the first recipe inside the braces means
"filter", which makes procmail pipe the message through the specified
command, and replace the current message content with the output of the
pipe. For instance:
:0 f
| sed 's/expletive/[expletive deleted]/g'
would be a nice start at sanitizing all email passing through your
.procmailrc. :) In our instance, however, we're piping our message to echo,
which ignores the input it has been offered, and simply outputs our
message, which procmail now takes to be the message body.
The pipe with no argument makes procmail emit the current message to
standard output, with the desired effect. The r flag prevents procmail from
trying to add extraneous \r or \n characters to the output, which are
inappropriate in this context, but appropriate for normal procmail
operation. I added it mostly for aesthetic reasons on the output; try it
both ways and see for yourself.

procmail and qmail, exitcode, stdout
[I posted this to procmail list a few days ago, but I haven't received
a response yet. So I thought I post this here hoping there's someone
here using procmail that can give suggestions]
Hi *,
I'm trying to discard emails from somebody and have procmail return a hard
error code (like 67, 77 or 100) *with* my own brief error message. The MTA is
qmail. Currently I have "|preline procmail" in my .qmail file. I have tried
this following recipe with partial success (email is discarded and bounced, but
my brief error message is not there):
:0
* ^From:.*abuser@example\.com

}
Apparently that echo goes nowhere. This is the bounce from qmail:

Starting from version 3.14 procmail supports maildirs, so it should
have some kind of documentation. But the only significant things that
differ from mbox are that you don't need locking and you need a
forward slash ("/") at the end of a folder name.

I would highly recommend using a filtering program such as procmail or
maildrop. For procmail simply put:
| preline procmail
in your .qmail file and create your .procmailrc as usual.

Well qmail has this feature with the '-' instead of '+', and IIRC this is configurable as well.

Originally posted to the vchkpw list, thought someone here might know what he's talking about. Ben -- "There is no spoon" -- The Matrix Sorry for the offtopic message... But does anyone know how can i setup qmail to support the user+something@domain feature of sendmail??? thanks Nuno Cruz
Re: spam/orbs, tcp-env, TCPREMOTEIP, and procmail -p
Strike that, there's one included with the rblcheck package, it just didn't install by default with FreeBSD's /usr/ports make. Sorry for the laziness and sloth exhibited here on my part. :) Chris On Fri, 17 Mar 2000, Chris Hardie wrote: > These things being said, does anyone have a good origip script to > suggest? > -- Chris Hardie - - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.summersault.com/chris/ --

Makes perfect sense. Many of the docs on the ORBS and Qmail sites and
related lists/sites provide examples (that I pretty much copy/pasted) that
would indicate the variable is populated when Procmail runs, so I guess I
was assuming that the qmail environment was transferred to any script
invoked from a .qmail file.
These things being said, does anyone have a good origip script to
suggest?
Someone posted the below script to a list a while ago, but it's a
little too simple (recognizes 127.0.0.1) and failed on the test message I
requested from "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", the ORBS test address:

}
print STDOUT ( $REMOTEIP );

Sure. Please think about how qmail works: qmail-smtpd gets message, passes to qmail-queue, message gets queued, stop. qmail-send wakes up, passes message to qmail-local, it passes message to procmail. The TCPREMOTEIP is present only in the first part - ie. qmail- smtpd (and wrappers) and qmail-queue (and wrappers). In the second part, you're not going to find it. All you can try to do is parse headers, and find the last (first) Received: line and read the originating IP; or you can ask qmail-smtpd, qmail-queue or wrapper thereof to record a special X-TcpRemoteIp: header to the message, as it gets spooled onto the disc. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: PGP 6.0.2 -- QDPGP 2.60 Comment: http://community.wow.net/grt/qdpgp.html iQA/AwUBONJBTlMwP8g7qbw/EQIrGwCg/pP9ond7CKDpFTAKnCgb/xXG7wwAn0x7 gv4zLjR2s5f6ve8RdMwhPa6s =igOo -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- Petr Novotny, ANTEK CS [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.antek.cz PGP key ID: 0x3BA9BC3F -- Don't you know there ain't no devil there's just God when he's drunk.

spam/orbs, tcp-env, TCPREMOTEIP, and procmail -p
Hi. I'm currently implementing the "spam blocking on a per user basis"
solution using rblcheck and procmail. I've got everything in place and
all the command line tests pass just fine, but for some reason, by the
time procmail has gotten a hold of the message, the TCPREMOTEIP
environment variable is not populated.
I've been desperately pouring over the configuration and doing research
and can't seem to find an explanation for this. Is there a trick to
keeping this variable populated? Should I be using some version of an
"origip" script instead? Any insights?
Here's my config:
FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE
inetd.conf:
smtpstream tcp nowait qmaild /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env tcp-env
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
--
.qmail:
| preline /usr/local/bin/procmail -p
--
.procmailrc:
:0
* ! ? if [ -n "$TCPREMOTEIP" ]; then /usr/local/bin/rblcheck -q "$TCPREMOTEIP"; fi
{
EXITCODE=100
LOGABSTRACT=all
LOG="Filter: RBL-filtered address: \"$TCPREMOTEIP\"\n"
:0:
$SPAMFOLDER
}
Thanks,
Chris
