Hi!
I've installed QMail on my Redhat 7.0 system.
PHP uses sendmail but I heard that Qmail has got a sendmail program, too. So
is it possible to send an email per "mail(...)" command of PHP with Qmail? I
copied the Qmail Sendmail to /usr/sbin/sendmail and set the path to QMail
Sendmail in the php.ini, but no EMail are sent and I don't get an error
message!
Thanks

Hi Christian
I'm using PHP ver. 4.03pl1 and latest qmail. I have to say I was pretty
impressed the way this duo worked 'out of the box'. PHP uses sendmail to
send emails - as far as I know 'qmail' sendmail behaves exactly like the
original. Just check if your paths are OK using <?php phpinfo() ?>
command (look for sendmail).

well, from my experience php has some problems with qmail's sendmail, but I
was able to get past that by editing php.ini :
sendmail_path=/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject
works for me ...

Sorry, it doesn't.
Sendmail parses addresses given on the command line in the same way it
parses mail headers ("To:"). The qmail sendmail clone doesn't do this.
Qmails sendmail clone doesn't know about a number of sendmail
commandline options. This usually isn't a problem, as almost nobody
knows this options.
And then there is the fact that the original sendmail doesn't
generate "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" addresses ...

Comments about Courier-IMAP. (note. I am biased for Courier-IMAP because I
am a very happy admin and user of it)
It does support folders outside INBOX, if you setup your client correctly.
I use Courier-IMAP daily from Outlook Express, Eudora, and Outlook. I also
access this at times from Mutt locally on the machine. I have never had a
problem with storing "Sent Items" with Outlook Express, but like I said I
have a properly configured client.
I know that Courier-IMAP is a VERY standard imapd, and thats why it doesn't
work around stupid little bugs in many clients. You can ./configure
with --enable-workarounds-for-imap-client-bugs which helps a bit. My
opinion is you took the lazy route out and never bothered to read or join
the very helpful lists at inter7.com.

Did it ever occur to you, David, that this is a technical mailing list
dealing with an MTA? It's not a support forum for people lazy to even
try to comprehend what the difference between an MTA, and MUA and an
IMAP server is?

Works for me, I can give you screenshots if you want. I have about 40
folders and subfolders not inside the INBOX.

You have not protected its identity -- search for my hostname in your
mail log files. You'll find that I verified that you provided correct
munged information in your first post (You did -- if I substitute the
right domain name into your original message, everything is as you
stated). Your mail server is still broken, though -- I get 'Relaying
denied' attempting to send you mail... :)
Anyone capable of rooting your box already has enough information to
start digging. This is a public server, with public DNS entries, and
knowing that it runs qmail is _not_ an advantage to an attacker
interested in root compromise. Period.
BTW, your 'isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts' is a FAQ -- search the
archives. You have a selective relay problem. Also, you'll want to fix
control/locals[1] and control/rcpthosts to reflect that you want to
recieve mail for 'domain.com'. You still haven't stopped pointing MX at
CNAME, and two of your nameservers are broken -- 'ns1.mydomain.com' and
'ns2.mydomain.com' both refuse queries.
Summary -- I asked the first time that you please post correct
information, but offered help anyway (it appears that noone else did,
probably because most of the list ignores obviously bogus DNS
information). You not only did not post the information asked for, you
posted another message with mangled DNS information, and asked a FAQ at
that... Look at this from the list's perspective -- who is in the wrong
here? If you knew for sure what information the list needed to help you,
you'd hardly need the help, right? (Trying to keep this friendly, and
polite, but people constantly doing this gets frustrating...)
[1] or control/virtualdomains -- depends on your setup, of course. ;)

Mud-slinging 101: Claim that the program won't work for most people.
Claim that it's a research prototype not meant for serious use. Claim
that nobody uses the program. Don't worry about the truth.
These claims are effective as long as the program is not perceived as
being popular. Readers using the program will know that you're lying,
but they aren't your target audience.
Mud-slinging 102: Claim that, while the program seems to work, it is a
disaster waiting to happen. Claim that it has interoperability problems.
Claim that it violates RFCs. Don't worry about the truth.
These claims remain fairly effective even after the program is perceived
as being popular. Members of your target audience won't have any reason
to think that you're lying: they haven't read the RFCs, and they aren't
familiar with the tiny protocol details that affect interoperability.

There are some RFCs that Dan has chosen not to implement in qmail, and the
few complaints about RFC compliance that I've seen backed up with actual
data have been about that. The primary ones that I've seen mentioned are
DSNs and SMTP AUTH.
I understand the reasons for both of these, mind, and am not arguing that
qmail should necessarily implement them. Not implementing those
extensions certainly doesn't make qmail a non-RFC-compliant e-mail system,
just one that doesn't implement some optional features.

Wow, I've never seen a more clueless sysadmin.[1] It's apparent that he
doesn't understand what the problem was and decided to make qmail the
scapegoat. What's sad is that there are people out there that would
believe what he has to say because he poses as an ``expert''.

Hi!
at http://www.lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html (part: 3.5. Aliases):
---xx---
Note that because of the way aliases are implemented in qmail, an alias can never
override a valid user's deliveries. E.g., if rachel is a normal user,
~alias/.qmail-rachel will not be used.
---xx---
for aliases I am using fastforward with /etc/aliases.cdb
and have problem with above rule when there exists aliases
with the same name in different domains _and_ if exists
real user with that name, say we have user "john" but
want have also aliases [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED],
[EMAIL PROTECTED], etc. for others, pointed to different real users,
and because of that rule all messages sent
to these aliases goes to one Maildir of user "john" however he has
his own domain and alias [EMAIL PROTECTED]
So, how to override this?
thanks for any help

We alias all of our mail for our server with the domain first:
(excerpt from /var/qmail/users/assign):
=triton-net-ennui:virtual:1008:100:/var/qmail/popboxes/triton-net/ennui:::
...
=1-800-all-cruises-com-info:virtual:1008:100:/var/qmail/popboxes/1-800-all-cruises-com/info:::
(excerpt from /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains)
triton.net:triton-net
mail.triton.net:triton-net
...
1-800-all-cruises.com:1-800-all-cruises-com
Is this not a viable option for you?

Keith,
Thanks, but I was moved to qmail from Zmailer with large aliases list,
(it worked on Zmailer without any problem) and this is the reason why
now I'm using this shortcut (aliases -> aliases.cdb and fastforward)
instead of any "native" qmail technology so I need an advice on
how to do that with this set of tools...

Hi,
I need to implement a log for the POP service. Any suggestions?
I'll probably have to modify qmail-pop3d's code, any hints?
exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin" \
tcpserver -H -R 0 pop3 \
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup smashweb.com /
/usr/home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir &
Thank you,
Cedric Veilleux

Hi,
Thank you. I patched qmail, although I am still having troubles. I guess
I am doing something wrong...
I was running qmail-pop3d with something like:
exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin" \
tcpserver -H -R 0 pop3 \
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup smashweb.com \
/usr/home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir &
So after applying the patch I had the log messages showing up on the
terminal, so I tried running qmail-pop3d with daemontools, and created a
service.
run:
#!/bin/sh
exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin" \
tcpserver -H -R 0 pop3 \
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup smashweb.com \
/usr/home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir
log/run:
#!/bin/sh
exec setuidgid qmaill multilog t /var/log/qmail/pop3d
The tcpserver and multilog processes started up right, the log dir was
created, but nothing gets logged, and the POP service deconnects clients
shortly after establishing the connection.
Any help greatly appreciated...
Thank you,
Cedric Veilleux,

Hi there, I got this reply from Peter,
They will be retried periodically for up to a week,
after which theywill be bounced. Change /var/qmail/control/queuelifetime
(man qmail-send) to do this earlier.

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
--------------------------------------------------
Praise be to Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the world;
Most Gracious, Most Merciful;
Master of the Day of Judgment.
Thee do we worship, and Thine aid we seek.
Show us the straight way,
The way of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy Grace,
those whose (portion) is not wrath, and who go not astray.
Qur'aan Ch:1

Hi I hope you can point me in the right direction with this one.
I have setup qmail, qmail-scanner and courier imap on a test server, what we
need to be able to do is only allow certain users access to external e-mail
i.e. they can only send internally by default unless we let them do
otherwise.
To further compound this I need to be able to setup 3 additional servers on
our WAN for e-mail to our branch offices.
I was thinking that by assigning sub domains to the e.g. office1.domain.com
etc... This would enable this to happen via DNS MX records. I would propose
to have one system as the server that sends & receives all mail from the
internet acting as a gateway for our internal network, scanning for viruses
using qmail-scanner and mapping email for the few real e-mail address to
their internal ones. But I am not sure how to limit only certain users to
send mail outside whilst allowing unlimited e-mail internally i.e. across
our WAN!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
