Re: [qmailtoaster] Error while sending mail from outlook

[Jose Mario Pires]

Hi,

When I saw the subject, I thought it was the same problem I had when I
started using zen.spamhaus.org (or something like it 8-). But mine was
stranger... Some of my clients got the same "verbosing error" that you
show in the attachment, but many of my users using the d*** M$ Outlook
2003 and 2007 (and myself, when I did the test) got "just an error"
that didn't disclose any clue to what might be happening. I checked
the logs and I saw no traces of those connections. The funny thing is
that I was able to relay email with Thunderbird from more than one
machine in which Outlook had that problem.

Anyway, I "solved" the problem instructing everyone to use the port 587.

Regards,
JMP

[qmailtoaster] qmail-queue.orig - where can I find it? OR messages from gmail rejected because they can't be signed

[Jose Mario Pires]

Hi,

Does anyone know where can I find the /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue.orig
? I erased it by mistake when I wanted to change the qmail-queue link.
I am using qmail-toaster-1.03-1.3.15. I was hoping that it was the
qmail-queue found in the
qmail-toaster-1.03-1.3.15.x86_64.rpm compiled when I installed QMT,
but when I use this file, this appears on the logs:


qmail-smtpd: qq soft reject (qq trouble creating files in queue
(#4.3.0)): MAILFROM: RCPTTO:x...@xpto.com


and the message isn't delivered nor any error message is sent to the sender.

I guess that I could just reinstall the RPM's (which ones? just the
qmail-toaster*'s?), but in my ignorance I fear that it will change any
of the configuration files and that would bring worse troubles than
the one I am trying to solve.

The reason for using qmail-queue.orig is disabling DK, which seems to
be causing the rejection of messages coming from gmail. The IT guys
from client tell me that it began happening when some idiot in the
client decided to put a spam gateway between the QMT server and the
router.

Using qmail-dk, any message coming from gmail produces this in the smtp log:


2009-07-23 00:20:38.911531500 qmail-smtpd: qq soft reject (mail server
temporarily rejected message (#4.3.0)): MAILFROM:

2009-07-23 00:20:39.059825500 tcpserver: status: 0/100


The error message received by the sender is:

Re: [qmailtoaster] Rename Email

[Jose Mario Pires]

Ola' Fabio,

Most of the times the only thing I do in those cases is just create a
forward to the new name, as that doesn't require me going "low level", the
old email continues to exist and the user doesn't need to change his/her
credentials to access the account, which too often are all advantages.

But if you really want to change the "physical" account "all" you have to do
is change the user name in the vpopmail database and of the mailbox
directory in /home/vpopmail/domains/yourdomain/account_to_be_renamed
accordingly.

This is fairly straightforward for anyone familiar with mysql and basic
Linux administration.

One of the things I always install in my machines is phpMyAdmin, although I
limit the access to it by IP for security reasons and often I "turn it off".

[qmailtoaster] "Home made" backup system

[Jose Mario Pires]

I wanted to implement some "temporary backup" or "temporary undo" for
users mailboxes. The idea is to have a kind of mirror accounts that
have all the messages received on the last X days. I am thinking about
having a response to those cases like "I deleted those messages
yesterday by mistake and I emptied the trash folder".

I thought about creating a subdomain that could be in the same server
or in another , which has exactly the same accounts of the "main"
domain. I would need the following to make such system work:

1- Configuring the "main domain" so that it forwards every received
message to the correspondent(s) recipients of the "backup domain".

2- Automatically delete all the messages in the "backup domain" that
are older than X days.

3- Automatically replicate the structure (accounts & passwords) of the
"main domain" to the "backup domain". I can live perfectly without
this one, as I do 99% of the account creation and deletion using
scripts that I can easily adapt to run in both domains. As for changed
passwords, it isn't critical that the user doesn't know his/her
password to his/her account in the "backup domain". Anyway, I think it
will be much easier to me writing a mysql script that synchronizes the
passwords than implementing the more important points 1 and 2.

What do you think about the idea? Do you have any suggestions and/or
know of some scripts that can help me?

Thank you,
Regards,
JMP

[qmailtoaster] Selective redirection based on list of senders

[Jose Mario Pires]

Hi,

What I wanted to implement: some mechanism that sends a copy of
received emails on one account based on a list of senders and/or
domains; that is: when a message arrives at user A, if the sender or
its domain is in a list in any way associated with that user, a copy
of that message is sent to another email address.

I am looking for a script that does or could be easily adapted to do
that, but any input, direction, etc. is welcome, even if it is just a
random thought.

I have been thinking about teaching myself some scripting (perl?,
bash? whatever) to make such thing,but the months pass and I don't
find the time or inspiration and if someone has already done something
alike...

Thank you,
Regards,
JMP

Re: [qmailtoaster] QmaiToaster Complete Migration

[Jose Mario Pires]

I think that it is a pretty straightforward task for anyone one with a
reasonable knowledge of Linux in general (files, permissions, etc) and
mysql (dumping, restoring, permissions,etc). Maybe things get
complicated if you can't stop the old server while you make the copy
of the mailboxes. One of the neat things of qmail/QMT is that you have
all the user data in the mysql DB and the /home/vpopmail/domains
directory tree.

Re: [qmailtoaster] toaster build for opensuse11

[Jose Mario Pires]

I have installed QMT from the RPM's 5 times in Opensuse 10.1 (64
bits), 10.2 (64 and 32 bits) and 10.3 (64 bits) using basically the
old scripts. Apart from some unsolved dependencies (some of them
aren't really unsolved, the packages just have other names), the
process went relatively smoothly, although it helped that I did all my
installations using tee to make a copy of the output to a file

Re: [qmailtoaster] SENDER_NOCHECK="1"

[Jose Mario Pires]

I think I had the same problem some months ago, when a client
complained that he wasn't able to send mail to us. Luckily their
postmaster is an adept of open source fan, so he agreed with me that
it should be another dumb thing of his Exchange, but while I didn't
comment this with anyone else less 'hardcore techie' (you know what I
mean...), I wondered if there aren't more people out there using
Exchange that aren't able to send email to us. I don't remember the
exact format of the string that caused the rejection, but I think that
the "From:" header had some "/" and or ":", "," and such.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Emails rejected

[Jose Mario Pires]

I am just guessing here, but I think the examples show two different situations:

On the first example, it looks like SpamAssassin didn't like the
contents (headers included) of the message and scored it tooo high
(16.2). I am not sure what is the score above which the mail is
rejected, but I think it's 15. I use it a bit lower, 12 I think.

On the second example, the problem is that the IP from which the
message came has no reverse DNS and spamdyke doesn't like such. I
guess that there must be a way to configure spamdyke not to do that
check. I thought that checking for reverse DNS had been almost
abandoned, as many think that the overhead involved doesn't compensate
the gains, namely because many of the big spammers have reverse DNS.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Emails rejected

[Jose Mario Pires]

Olá António,

Se não tiveres muita dificuldade em ler o meu inglês,  diz-me para que
eu te escreva em portugês.

The rejection occurs while receiving email, ie, email sent by external
servers to the domains you are hosting or when the email clients are
using your server to relay their email (addressed to domains not
hosted in your server)?

On one of my toasters, which still runs a QMT more than one year old,
I had to give up using (I am not absolutely right, but I can check)
using zen.spamhaus.org as RBL because there were frequent refusals to
relay to clients connecting from IP's referenced as dynamic. As far as
I could understand, those IP ranges should be accepted if
authentication was used, but that wasn't happening, ie, authenticated
clients also got blocked.

Re: [qmailtoaster] qq soft reject (mail server temporarily rejected message (#4.3.0))

[Jose Mario Pires]

Hi,

I have seen that a couple of times and the "main suspect" for me was
always freshclam, the service that updates the signatures of clamav.
God knows why, it seems it tends to be pickier at system startup and
blocks clamav. Most of the times the problem disapeared by itself
after 10 to 30 min.  Once or twice I solved the problem by changing
the list of repositories to be checked, as the problems seemed to have
some relations to problems in connecting to the repositories.

Some weeks ago, the same symptoms appeared, but the cause had nothing
to do with freshclam, which was behaving well. Apparently, the clamav
processes took every resource of the machine and clients weren't able
to connect. I only was able to stop the problem by disabling the scan
with clamav, which was something that I had already thought doing when
I had the slight suspicion that it was consuming too much resources.

[qmailtoaster] Re: Install qmailtoaster in OpenSuse 10.3

[Jose Mario Pires]

Hi,

Forget it... I was being dummy. Apart from some problems with package
dependencies, all went smoothly by following carefully the
instructions and scripts found in
http://www.qmailtoaster.org/old/suse/sus10164/

I'll send some more precise instructions later, when I have time to write them.

SpamAssassin complained that "Can't locate Mail/DomainKeys/Message.pm in
@INC (@INC contains:...)". I had the same problem in my other
installations. As far as I remember, the problem is that [perl
installation dir]/Mail/DomainKeys directory doesn't exist. However,
that doesn't disable SA from working. I don't remember any more where
I got the .pm files of Mail/DomainKeys; this time I just copied them
from another machine where qmailtoaster is running.

[qmailtoaster] Install qmailtoaster in OpenSuse 10.3

[Jose Mario Pires]

Hi,

I am having problems building the RPMs in OpenSuse 10.3 (32 bits).
I wonder if anyone can help me.

[Note to Alexandre: I hope you don't mind having putting you in Bcc,
but since you stated that you had already in opensuse 10.3, I am
hoping you can help me.]

In the last 10 months I installed qmailtoaster successfully in
OpenSuse 10.2 (x86_64) in two occasions. The second instalation went
smoothly because of the notes I had from the first successful
installation (which I can share with anyone interested). I used the
scripts found in http://www.qmailtoaster.org/old/suse/sus10164/ with
some modifications of my own, done in an incremental way with much
trial and error. The main problems were related with dependencies and
some perl modules.

The order of compilation in the scripts mentioned above is as follow:
daemontools-toaster
ucspi-tcp-toaster
vpopmail-toaster
libdomainkeys-toaster
libsrs2-toaster
qmail-toaster
qmail-pop3d
courier-authlib-toaster
courier-imap-toaster
autorespond-toaster

With more or less adjustments, related with package dependencies or
the inexistence of the user and group apache, I could install the
packages above, but in control-panel-toaster I can't understand what
is causing the problem.

I noticed that the RPMs 'identify' (are targetted at  CentOS). I used
"rpmbuild --rebuild --with sus103" and  "rpmbuild --rebuild --with
sus101".

Thank you for any feedback.
Regards,
JMP
