RE: [vchkpw] ETRN / serialmail-AUTOTURN with vpopmail - How to ?
I think what needs to be understood here is that vpopmail, qmail, and autoturn (serialmail) are not really all related. The only common bond they share is qmail itself. qmail is the mail server that runs the show, and all it's doing is delivering emails. It decides how to, based on it's control files. In this case, we're talking about the rcpthosts (and possibly morercpthosts) and virtualdomains control files. As well as the /var/qmail/users/assign file, which gets compiled into the /var/qmail/users/cdb file. Here's the breakdown of how delivery works with qmail and where autoturn or vpopmail come into play. It should help you to better diagnose where your problem is coming from. SMTP connection opens up to your server for a domain you handle, let's say, example.com . qmail-smtpd answers the smtp connection and email for example.com. It checks if example.com is in rcpthosts, if it is, it accepts relay for it. It then checks the smtproutes file for an artificial smtp route, and then the virtualdomains file. In the virtualdomains file you have something that looks like this (if you're using vpopmail): example.com:example.com Seems simple enough. The first part is the FQDN itself, the second part is the user that it belongs to. This user is defined in the /var/qmail/users/assign file, but qmail actually reads the cdb file. You build the cdb file with the /var/qmail/bin/qmail-newu program. Inside your assign file you have something that looks like this: +example.com-:example.com:89:89:/home/vpopmail/domains/example.com:-:: The + in the begging signifies a catch-all account for the domain. qmail then looks in /home/vpopmail/domains/example.com for a .qmail-default file. If it finds one, it delivers to whatever that file instructs. This typically will contain the following: | /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox That command pipes it over to vdelivermail, which delivers the email..and voila we have email. Ok.. now where do we fit in serialmail? Well, in the virtualdomains file, instead of assigning the domain to the example.com user in the assign file, we'll give it to autoturn so your virtualdomains file will look like this instead: example.com:autoturn-1.2.3.4 Notice how we've assigned it to autoturn, but a specific autoturn user (1.2.3.4). 1.2.3.4 would be the IP address of the mail server that you're holding email for. This MUST be a static IP address. Inside your assign file, you have a line that looks like this for autoturn: +autoturn-:qmaild:82:81:/var/qmail/autoturn:-:: That tells qmail that the autoturn user also is a catch-all user, and that it lives in /var/qmail/autoturn. qmail then takes the email destined for example.com and tries to deliver it to /var/qmail/autoturn. Inside this folder, you'd create a .qmail-1:2:3:4 file that looks like this (note they are colons and not periods in the file name): ./1.2.3.4/ This tells qmail that anything destined for the autoturn-1.2.3.4 user (aka, anything for example.com) should be delivered to /var/qmail/autoturn/./1.2.3.4/ The 1.2.3.4 directory is created with the /var/qmail/bin/maildirmake program. Just type: /var/qmail/bin/maildirmake /var/qmail/autoturn/1.2.3.4 Then chown it as the qmaild user by doing: chown -R qmaild:nofiles /var/qmail/autoturn/1.2.3.4 Hope that helps to clear things up. -Clayton -Original Message- From: Evren Yurtesen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 04, 2003 10:31 PM To: Devendra Singh Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [vchkpw] ETRN / serialmail-AUTOTURN with vpopmail - How to ?

RE: [vchkpw] ETRN / serialmail-AUTOTURN with vpopmail - How to ?
I think this is waste of time. The AUTOTURN file in serialmail distribution already explains the same thing in a little different way. In 7 easy steps actually. If you cant figure it from that file how to run serialmail at all. Then you are in big big trouble. I mean, when I did this first time it was enough to just copy paste from the file and change few things. If there is anything easier in this life than doing little copy paste :) But quite good documentation anyhow. Clayton, perhaps you should put this text to web :) I enjoyed reading it.

How do I make the serialmail functional for the del4.intermesh.net (remember that I also have functional SMTP-AUTH Patch) ? My existing /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run is as below #!/bin/sh # when QMAILQUEUE is set, all mail will be sent to the nominated script echo 'Starting qmail-smtpd...' QMAILQUEUE=/var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl export QMAILQUEUE QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaild` NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild` VPOPMAILUID=`id -u vpopmail` VPOPMAILGUID=`id -g vpopmail` # softlimit needs to be set at something large such as 1500 # to allow virusscanning software to run successfully exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 1500 \ /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -H -l0\ -v -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb \ -c 512 -R -u $VPOPMAILUID -g $VPOPMAILGUID 0 smtp \ /usr/local/bin/rblsmtpd -b -C \ -r 'relays.ordb.org:Your message was rejected because the mail server you use is configured to allow OPEN RELAY - More detailed information regarding this problem is available from http://www.ordb.org/lookup/?%IP%http://www.ordb.org/lookup/?%IP% - Please forward this error through to your email server support staff for easy resolution.' \ -r 'inputs.relays.osirusoft.com:Your message was rejected because the mail server you use is either configured to allow OPEN RELAY - More information regarding this problems is available at http://relays.osirusoft.com/cgi-bin/rbcheck.cgi?addr=%IP%http://relays.osirusoft.com/cgi-bin/rbcheck.cgi?addr=%IP% - Please forward this error to your email server support staff for resolution.' \ -r 'proxies.relays.monkeys.com:Your message was rejected because the message was sent from an OPEN PROXY - More information regarding this problems is available at http://www.monkeys.com/upl/listed-ip-0.cgi?ip=%IP%http://www.monkeys.com/upl/listed-ip-0.cgi?ip=%IP% - Please forward this error to your email server support staff for resolution.' \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd del3.intermesh.net /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /bin/true I am posting this to the list with lot of head scratching, in anticipation.
