need advice on massive email server migration with qmail-ldap
Hi, I'm working in an ISP and we have several clusters of smtp servers handling customer's email needs.The email flow looks like this. For incoming mails, they are being received by two load-balanced smtp running sendmail with a patch applied to it for it to be able to querry a mysql database. This database is custom made, AFAIK, and it contains only 1 table, the first column contains actual email accounts ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), while the second one contains their email address with some more informations appended to it such as [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] This two columns are used by sendmail in determining which smtp host the email should be send, whether it must be forwarded to an antivirus/spam server or not. Now, if the email is forwarded to the cleaning server, those cleaning servers also are running sendmail which also does the same thing (querry the mysql database, using the third column which contains account information for it to know the final destination, because we have several smtp/pop servers for various domains. I have already successfully implemented an all-in-one(pop/imap/smtp/antivirus/spam) qmail-ldap setup but I admit, that server is way less complicated than the setup we have in the new company I'm working for. The systems are running on Solaris and BSDI platform and we are looking forward to migrating them into newer, powerful intel. Now, for the most significant part, have you already come up with the same setup as I described above, probably have patched qmail-ldap's smtp to process emails and querry the ldap directory to know which smtp host it must forward the emails? How about running a proxy pop servers using qmail?. In our setup, clients are downloading their mails with via pop through "Pop Proxy", the name of the application I think... The actual pop3 servers are running "Post.Office3.5.3" which we also are thinking of migrating to another application. Other admin also complained that they're having a hard time finding out how to extract user accounts from the Post.Office database because of lack of documentation and support. The software is way too old (1998). Do you happen to use one of this systems before? Do you recommend the built-in qmail-pop3d or some other pop3 servers? (which one?) The postfix-qmail debate is also a minor issue here. other admins do prefer postfix. Can you give me an idea of dealing with this issue? The old email format of our customers are in mailbox. It is possible to migrate it to maildir format, right? Lastly, we are planning to improve our email service by increasing the mailbox storage quota of each customer. Do you have any idea how does gmail or yahoo provide such huge email space (2gb) for free? Do they use a very high tech compression program or are they just having a lot of money to buy so many hard drives? Thanks for the time! -jay __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

qmail-pop3d-ssl no longer works after converting userpass to {SASL}principal@realm
Hi, I have an existing qmail-ldap installation with userPasswords in hash.. However, I have decided to implement a much more secure authentication using kerberos. I'm only running smtpd and qmail-pop3d-ssl which can successfully authenticate users via ldap lookup. However, I needed to sync our kerberos and ldap passwords so what I did was to change the userPassword into the format: userPassword: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To my understanding, this kerberos passthru format means that authentication via search and compare will not work anymore. Perhaps this is why qmail-pop3d-ssl didn't work anymore. But after reverting the password back to hash format, it authenticated the user successfully. Needless to say, I need to find an alternative to those daemons. Here are my requirements: It can offer pop3,imap, and smtp(auth) with ssl and can authenticate users via kerberos or ldap binds. We have clients with Windows workstations and I need to recommend them to use a particular pop3/imap/smtp client with full kerberos/ldap(bind) support. Also, the tickets must come from those that have been acquired by MIT's network identity manager (this is because we are already using patched version of putty that uses ticket which came from NIM. Do you know any of those mail programs that meets my requirements?? Heimdal has its own popper, however, I'm not sure if it supports ssl encryption. I'm currently looking at Qpopper and Cyrus imap server but I have yet to join and inquire in their mailing list. Thanks! __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Setting up pop/imap (i'm lost)
Good day! I have an existing qmail-ldap setup. The server is being used only for ezmlm's mailing list. Now I need to make it function for normal email accounts both pop and imap. I have a qmail-pop3d symbolic link under my /service before and it is pointing to /var/qmail/boot/qmail-pop3d.. The problem is, when I issue a svc -u /service/qmail-pop3d it goes up but when I tried connecting via telnet, only the welcome banner is showned and all further commands I issued just floats their and nothing happens. Needless to say, I decided to delete that entire directory (/var/qmail/boot/qmail-pop3d) and look for a working alternative. By the way, that directory along with other "/var/qmail/boot/qmail-*" has been installed following QLDAPINSTALL. Now, I'm following a different instruction, using qmail-pop3d-conf in combination with checkpassword: http://www.din.or.jp/~ushijima/qmail-conf/pop3.html and I have reach the end of the setup and have it listening on 110. Then when I telnet, and issue the authentication commands, I got: -ERR error in server configuration Connection closed by foreign host. Now, I'm lost. It seems to me like qmail-pop3d-conf+checkpassword isn't made for qmail-ldap. My question is.. which is which?? What authentication and pop access script are you using for your qmail-ldap installation?? also for imap? A link to a howto site would be much appreciated.

Re: problem using default@our.domain entry for ezmlm + qmail-ldap(hoorray!!! its working now!!!)
Hi Nicolas, I already found out my problem.. ezmlm-web, runs under ezmlmboy, and ezmlmboy has its home set to /var/ezmlm The dot-qmail files were created inside /var/ezmlm which should have been created inside /var/ezmlm/lists instead, since it is the mailMessageStore that is set in the ldap entry of mailing list user ezmlmboy.. Whew!! After 4 days... at last!! For those who are just starting qmail-ldap+ezmlm+ezmlm-web (and also for my future reference), Here's how I did it: Create a unix user account which will handle all your mailing list: ezmlmboy:*:1012:1012::0:0:ezmlm mailing list user:/var/ezmlm/lists:/usr/sbin/nologin Notice that its home is set to "/var/ezmlm/lists" you need exactly this path in your ldap entry for the user that will manage the mailing list. Now create an ldap entry for a dedicated user that will manage the mailing list. dn: uid=ezmlmboy,ou=people,o=our,dc=domain objectClass: top objectClass: qmailUser objectClass: person qmailUID: 1012 ---> should be set to the uid of ezmlmboy user qmailGID: 1012 uid: ezmlmboy sn: ezmlm cn: ezmlmboy mailHost: mail2.our.domain mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailAlternateAddress: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailMessageStore: /var/ezmlm/lists -> home directory of user ezmlmboy qmailDotMode: dotonly accountStatus: nopop Also set this in your ezmlmwebrc: $LIST_DIR = "/var/ezmlm/lists"; That's all! Create a list via ezmlm-web.cgi List Name: mis List Address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] and see if the dot-qmail files and "mis" folder have been created inside /var/ezmlm/lists # ls -lahs /var/ezmlm/lists/ total 8 2 drwx-- 4 ezmlmboy ezmlmboy 512B Jan 27 14:39 . 2 drwx-- 3 ezmlmboy ezmlmboy 512B Jan 27 14:39 .. 0 lrwx-- 1 ezmlmboy ezmlmboy 27B Jan 27 14:39 .qmail-mis -> /var/ezmlm/lists/mis/editor 0 lrwx-- 1 ezmlmboy ezmlmboy 28B Jan 27 14:39 .qmail-mis-default -> /var/ezmlm/lists/mis/manager 0 lrwx-- 1 ezmlmboy ezmlmboy 26B Jan 27 14:39 .qmail-mis-owner -> /var/ezmlm/lists/mis/owner 0 lrwx-- 1 ezmlmboy ezmlmboy 28B Jan 27 14:39 .qmail-mis-return-default -> /var/ezmlm/lists/mis/bouncer 2 drwx-- 8 ezmlmboy ezmlmboy 512B Jan 27 14:42 mis After you subscribed an email address to "mis", try sending an email. You should be getting this in you logs: starting delivery 12: msg 9703434 to local [EMAIL PROTECTED] @400043d9c0d50821f284 status: local 1/10 remote 0/20 @400043d9c0d50fffae24 delivery 12: success: ezmlm-send:_info:_qp_72543/did_0+0+3/ @400043d9c0d51003dc74 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20 That's it. Now the next step is to configure your ezmlm-web interface's access control so that only the mailing list administrator has the access to his mailing list.. I haven't done this yet :-) just refer to the manual.. bye bye!!Nicolas de Bari Embriz Garcia Rojas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From a previous post:---Hi, you just need to add the attribute mailAlternetAddress to the user that you want to catch all the emailmailAlternateAddress: [EMAIL PROTECTED]After doing that all the email that goes to [EMAIL PROTECTED] will be catched by the [EMAIL PROTECTED] that has the catchall attribute.also you can use it in this way: [EMAIL PROTECTED] and all the email that goes to user-* will be catched to the email account that has that attribute, this is useful for using a mailing list just like ezmlmhope this can give you an idea on the catchall feature, there maybe other ways to use it but this are the ones that I use more frequentlyTry to put a catchall to an account that works on your server and it if works then try with your mailing list, also check that /var/ezmlm/lists exists and under that directory it is the name of the list, what i mean is that if /var/ezmlm/lists is the maildir of your list you should have there the .dot files for the mailing list Yahoo!

Re: problem using default@our.domain entry for ezmlm + qmail-ldap
Hi, You need to create a special catchall account for the lists. Specifically, [EMAIL PROTECTED] So, does this means that I need to create an ldap entry for "each" mailing lists?..(treat a mailing list address as if it is a real email account?) How about that, [EMAIL PROTECTED] entry??I have a script that gets things set up for ezmlm lists on my qmail-ldap install.

problem using default@our.domain entry for ezmlm + qmail-ldap
Hi, I been exchanging emails for the past few days with ezmlm-web people regarding my problem with getting ezmlm-web work with my qmail-ldap installation... I hope someone here could help me.. Here it is: For my mailing list, someone from ezmlm-web suggested using one(1) dedicated user to manage all the mailing lists, the same thing with "vmail" user managing all the Maildirs of all the virtual users. Also, a separate domain (in my case, I used lists.our.domain).The entry looks like this: ...using qmail-ldaplookup dn: uid=ezmlmboy,ou=people,o=our,dc=domain --- objectClass: top objectClass: qmailUser objectClass: person mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] uid: ezmlmboy accountStatus: active ---> this is weird as it was nopop in my ldif file. mailHost: mail2.our.domain homeDirectory: /var/ezmlm/lists aliasEmpty: using default qmailDotMode: dotonly qmailUID: 1012 qmailGID: 1012 mailQuotaSize: 5000 mailQuotaCount: 0 (unlimited) mailSizeMax: 0 (unlimited) mailReplyText: undefined ezmlmboy is present is also present as a unix account ezmlmboy:*:1012:1012::0:0:ezmlm mailing list user:/var/ezmlm/lists:/usr/sbin/nologin When I run the ezmlm-web program to create a test mailing lists (eg; "ops"), dot-qmail files are created inside /var/ezmlm/lists, see... # ls /var/ezmlm/lists/ .qmail-ops .qmail-ops-owner lists .qmail-ops-default .qmail-ops-return-default Now, when I try subscribing one, email to "ops" mailing list and sending a test email, I got an error at qmail saying: "no mailbox here by that name" What's happening here??

Re: automaildirmake won't work(RESOLVED!!!)
Hi, The last problem was, although the auto homedir/maildir maker is working, its not following the default delivery method that was written in /var/qmail/control/defaultdelivery which was: ./Maildir/ The qmail logs says that it can't deliver to the /var/vmail/bani which was set to user's mailMessageStore, because its a directory(it's trying to write the mail in mbox format). Its hard to describe the actual logs but anyway, for users who will encounter the same problem or any problem in the future, here are the details of a working qmai-ldap setup: First and most important of all, as suggested by Syahid: Before building the qmail-ldap, set the: #define LDAP_HOMEDIR"homeDirectory" to #define LDAP_HOMEDIR"nohomeDirectory" in qmail-ldap.h (inside the qmail source dir) or else you will encounter that last problem I have encountered above. In ldap, make sure the user has at least the following entries: objectClass: qmailUser mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailMessageStore: /var/vmail/bani And lastly, if you are just trying to start a clean installation of qmal-ldap, you should read the docs here over and over again. http://www.lifewithqmail.org/ldap/ and this one: I find this the most helpful http://www.proscrutiny.com/howtos/qmail-ldap.html lastly, this is the brief and concise, official install instruction: http://www.nrg4u.com/qmail/QLDAPINSTALL But if you haven't experienced configuring qmail before, like me, I suggest you start reading this: http://www.lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html and try setting up a qmail(not qmail-ldap) first. Make sure you made them all work(qmail pop3d, and an imap server, e.g; courier). Also, make sure that you have understood the various components of ldap before diving into a qmail-ldap installation. With that, even with a huge difference in the installation process between the two(qmail and qmail-ldap) I'm sure you'll have a working qmail-ldap in less than three days.

Watch: gaheris#ls /var/vmail bani gaheris#ls /var/vmail/bani Maildir gaheris#ls /var/vmail/bani/Maildir curnew tmp See.. Now, that the absolute path of homeDirectory is what the auto homedir maker is looking.. perhaps the answer to the problem lies in mailMessageStore value. For the final experiment, I will set bani's homeDirectory as is: /var/vmail/bani and bani's mailMessageStore as /var/vmail/bani. Since the above value points into a directory, the default delivery(./Maildir) should work, that is, the actual mail will not be written into a file named "bani" inside /var/vmail but it will go further inside /var/vmail/bani and look for the Maildir folder, go inside it, find the appropriate folder whether its cur, new or tmp, and get inside it and finally write the actual mail. Look at what happened: gaheris# ldapsearch -LLLb 'ou=staff,dc=preginet' uid=bani mail

I tried changing the mode of /home to 777 and send another mail, but something weird happened. First, the script created a home directory and a Maildir(with cur, new, etc.) of the mail recipient inside /home. Then it will create an ascii file in /var/vmail that contains the actual mail. The ascii file containing the mail is sort of like the mbox format and named after the recipient's name. For example, after sending email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] it created a /home/bani and /home/bani/Maildir directories... and an ascii file /var/vmail/bani which resembles the mbox format. Any idea why this is happening? Does it have something to do with both homeDirectory: /home/bani and mailMessageStore: /var/vmail (Note: bani doesn't have an actual unix account and a home directory, I just added the homeDirectory in ldap because posixAccount requires it) Thanks..

You can look at my post below that has these: gaheris# cat /var/qmail/bin/dirmaker #!/bin/sh /bin/mkdir -m 0700 -p $1 /var/qmail/bin/maildirmake $1/Maildir See, the content of the script /var/qmail/bin/dirmaker is the same as the one you are telling me to create above. I made it sure that permission is set to 755 also, the file /var/qmail/control/dirmaker has a line which points to that script. /var/qmail/bin/dirmaker Exactly like what you've suggested above.

I've already found the logfiles for qmail. It's in /var/qmail/log/qmail/current, the same location of qmail-smtpd/current log. After emptying the contents of /var/qmail/log/qmail/current, I again tried sending email and got these logs, which indeed tells it's a homedir creation problem. @400042df416101e76b4c new msg 300 @400042df416101efc404 info msg 300: bytes 1070 from <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> qp 1197 uid 1003 @400042df416101efd78c starting delivery 28: msg 300 to local [EMAIL PROTECTED] @400042df416101efe72c status: local 1/10 remote 0/20 @400042df416108fcb284 delivery 28: deferral: Temporary_error_in_automatic_homedir_creation._(#4.3.0)/ @400042df4161090c69f4 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20 @400042df41c6096ef484 starting delivery 29: msg 300 to local [EMAIL PROTECTED] @400042df41c609716d54 status: local 1/10 remote 0/20 After a quick googling for the error message, I found this link: http://www.mail-archive.com/qmail-ldap%40qmail-ldap.org/msg01653.html The user has a different scenario, but the same error message. deferral: Temporary_error_in_automatic_homedir_creation._(#4.3.0) Do you know what qmail program is being invoke to create that virtual home directories? I know that its not a separate script because the flag to enable it is included in the main qmail Makefile. Perhaps I can run it in debugging mode. Or, perhaps that user priveledge in which that program is running is not set to vmail:vmail, which owns the /var/vmail directory such that it cannot create any file in it. Any idea?

Re: quick question on applying patch.
Hi Sam, I'm sorry to bother you again but, I'm not following any other instruction than that of those found in Life with qmail. The instructions in that document is for installation using the netqmail package. I know that the package also contains the clean source tree of qmail so after extracting it, I then went inside it and find the qmail tarball, extracted it and applied the ldap patch. My problem is that when I go back to the original instruction on life with qmail, "running the ./collate, the rest of the patches cannot be applied due to the changes that was done by the qmail-ldap patch. --- Sameer N Ingole <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > jay alvarez wrote: > > >Hi, > > > >What is the best thing for me to do when I have > >already installed qmail using netqmail package, if > >according to QLDAPINSTALL, qmail-ldap patch should > be > >applied into a clean qmail source tree?

quick question on applying patch.
Hi, What is the best thing for me to do when I have already installed qmail using netqmail package, if according to QLDAPINSTALL, qmail-ldap patch should be applied into a clean qmail source tree? Do I have to repeat the entire instructions on lifewithqmail or just apply the patch right before running "./collate"? Why didn't they just include the qmail-ldap patch in the netqmail package since that package contains the qmail source tree, plus other patches? Thanks.
