I can't speak to your script since I don't use it and don't know what it does, but the file being referenced there is a log file from daemontools. That might be your qmail logs, or some other service you configured when you built the system. In some cases those files might be located in /var/log/qmail, or it might be located within the service directory structure under /service/qmail-smtpd or some such. I know that isn't overly helpful, but maybe if you can find where the files are supposed to be you can run the script manually to try and deduce what is happening... > > Thanks, > > Matt Rauch > > > > > > !DSPAM:513fbe9c34144082379809!
Re: [qmailadmin] [SPAM] Auto-empty trash items older then a certain age
if you happen to be using dovecot, a good server-side soltuion is to set up doveadm to purge old messages using cron.

[qmailadmin] Autorespond and mailing lists
Hello, I understand that some auto-responders do not reply to mailing lists. I am curious if qmailadmin's auto-responder is one of these, or do I need to unsubscribe to all my lists before I use auto-responder? -- Bob Miller 867-334-7117 / 867-633-3760 http://computerisms.ca b...@computerisms.ca Network, Internet, Server, and Open Source Solutions !DSPAM:4f19b19134171935916092!

[qmailadmin] trailers
Good Day, I recently had a customer ask me about setting up trailers on his mailing lists. After a day of trial and error and searching for the missing piece of my puzzle, I am finally at the conclusion that I should ask. It appears that the problem is that the contents of the text directory are not being populated when the "edit text files" for remote administration setting is enabled. In my investigation, I have come to understand that the settings for allowing remote administration and editing of text files by moderators must be enabled in order to enable trailers. so I have set up a testlist with those settings enabled, however, the setting for including the trailer will not stay on, and sending a message to edit the file returns a message saying the file doesn't exist. On the server, when I enable the remote administration and the editing files settings, a text directory is created in the domain's directory in vpopmail, however it is empty. I have been able to work around the problem by copying the contents of the text directory from the main ezmlm config (stored in /etc/ezmlm/default/text on my system) into the newly created text directory and setting the appropriate permissions on those files. Now that I have the files existing where qmailadmin apparently wants to see them, I can send the mail commands that modify the trailer, and the include a trailer option will stay enabled in the qmailadmin gui. This work around is okay for stuff I am doing, but it will basically mean that a customer cannot modify this stuff on his own without me copying those files on the server. Not that I mind, but life would be better if it wasn't required. I have searched the help files, I have searched google, I have tried various combinations of settings, and I have searched the configure script for building qmailadmin for some clue as to how to make this work without my manual copying technique. If such a document exists that explains what I am missing, I cannot find it. I would greatly appreciated it if someone could point me at my missing piece to the puzzle...

Re: [qmailadmin] Modify Mailing List: many functions not working
Hello, I can't say what is causing those errors, but for workarounds, I can suggest about this one from a recent experience, at least a little bit: > 2) Include a trailer at the end of each message. > results in "Internal Server Error" (no change for non idn domain) > apache error log has: > [Thu Oct 14 13:15:48 2010] [error] [client 109.251.3.19] > mod_mime_magic: can't read `/var/www/localhost/cgi-bin/qmailadmin', Recently I tried to use this trailer thing, but the checkmark wouldn't stick. However, I did find that if you check the "remote admins can edit files" it creates a text directory in the domain's mail directory. I then copied the files from the text directory in the main ezmlm config into this new text directory and set permissions, then the check for include a trailer would stick. Given your errors, I have no confidence that this will work for you, but it can't hurt to see if it makes a difference. Your problem look to be related to apache or some other software that is causing qmailadmin to not work correctly. But that is my experience with this particular settings. So far, I have not had time to dedicate to finding a better solution, one where the end user can manage that stuff on his own, but if I do I will post here. If I don't, I will most likely post the question here again...

[qmailadmin] qmail-autoresponder
Hello. Not sure exactly where this problem lives, so it may not be appropriate to ask here, but since I already lurk on this list, seems like a good place to start. I was recently charged with building a new mail server. I decided to try Bruce Guenter's qmail-autoresponder again, but am about to put it on the shelf for the second time, I am stuck on the same problem as last time. It appears a number of other people are able to make it work properly, but for me, while the responder does respond and keep track of responses, it does not interact correctly between the qmailadmin interface and the .qmail file. Before I call it quits, I figure I should see if there is something I have overlooked. Preliminary: -I have modified the autorespond.c and user.c files to have the proper command line syntax (as per this and other similar suggestions: http://forum.qmailrocks.org/archive/index.php/t-3.html) -I have run the ./configure command with --enable-autoresponder-path=/usr/local/bin/qmail-autoresponder and verified that said path is valid -I have also tried ./configure with --enable-autoresponder-bin=/usr/local/bin -I am using qmailadmin-1.2.13 and qmail-autoresponder-0.97 What works: -When a user fills in the auto-response fields in qmailadmin, the .qmail file is modified, the vacation directory is created, and the message file is created. -A sender will get a response, under the vacation directory an empty file is created to keep track of who has been responded too already. What doesn't work: -After a vacation message has been set in qmailadmin and the modify-user button has been clicked, the related fields are all cleared and it appears on the qmailadmin interface that there is no vacation message set. -If a vacation message is set multiple times (as is apt to happen when a user sees his stuff disappear), the .qmail file is modified to include an additional entry for the vacation message. One can pretty quickly accumulate 5 or 10 entries for the qmail-autoresponder program. -of note, the vacation message is always overwritten with the latest message. -After some days (more than one, less than 5) qmail-send started throwing errors with regards to vacation response. Unfortunately, these errors have rotated out of the logs already. manually removing the auto-response entries from the .qmail file fixed that up, though. Investigation: -using auditd, I am able to determine that when a change is made to the .qmail file by qmailadmin, it is being done by user vpopmail and from the qmailadmin file. -On another mail server with the inter7 autorespond, I compared the directory structure and permissions of the vacation folder and .qmail file. They are identical on both machines, yet the data in the created/modified files does not appear to be available to qmailadmin. -In as much as the qmail-autoresponder is responding, the program is functioning fine, this would have me believe the modifications to the command line parameters in the .c files were successful. The problem, at least from my perspective, is that the existence of the auto-response entries in the .qmail file and the existence of the vacation directory and its contents seems to be hidden from qmailadmin. -Interestingly, qmailadmin does retain mail routing settings (forwards), and has no problem modifying the .qmail to adjust for these settings, even when the .qmail file has upwards of ten auto-responder lines in it. Questions: -Not being a programmer, I find code overwhelming and cryptic. Not to say I can't hack some things up, but I haven't found any more instances in any .c files that look relevant to changing from autorespond to qmail-autoresponder. Not that I am sure what relevant should look like. Are there some suggestions on how I might zero in on this apparent lack of communication between qmailadmin and the related vacation files? -I have read articles that suggest qmail-autoresponder may become the default qmailadmin responder some day in the future. Is there any truth to this? Thank you... Bob Miller 334-7117/633-3760 http://computerisms.ca b...@computerisms.ca Network, Internet, Server, and Open Source Solutions !DSPAM:4afcd6a432717724716225!
