The difference is because of call to is_looping() in main() in vpopmail
5.4.27. The check earlier was only in deliver_mail().

You can use the vdelivermail.c.gz attached in this mail and see if it

Re: [vchkpw] Mails delivered by maildirsmtp bounce with looping error after upgrade from 5.4.9 to 5.4.27




This is what is happening.  Your primary server accepts, adds a Delivered-To
header, and saves.  Your 'branch' server picks it up and qmail-smtpd sees
the Delivered-To header and rejects the message because it thinks the message
is looping.  This is what it's supposed to do.  In a normal delivery situation,
this would protect your system from poorly configured delivery paths that could
cause a loop.

The solution is to make sure there is no Delivered-To header.  Whether or
not your method of getting the message from the primary MX to the 'branch'
servers removes this header is what's in question.

Fix that, and you'll fix the problem.



Umm. Once more time.. The error message is from vdelivermail NOT qmail. Also the message is being 
delivered from branch server to central server by maildirsmtp. On the central server the message is 
delivered properly by vdelivermail 5.4.9 but bounced with "mail is looping" by 5.4.27 why?

A diff between vdelivermail.c of both this version would throw some

I can do this off the list as it could be quite long winded. I will
explain a setup where you can have vpopmail on all branches. But on the
central server, you will need to configure the TLDs as ATRN domains. And
using On Demand Relay Protocol (ODMR) to fetch the mail and a slight
modification of vdelivermail (to use qmail-remote) to achieve
inter-branch delivery. The setup is totally reverse of what you have
(i.e. maildirsmtp happens on the central server, pushes the mails to the
branches when the branch connectivity becomes alive)

Re: [vchkpw] Mails delivered by maildirsmtp bounce with looping error after upgrade from 5.4.9 to 5.4.27

After reading this mail, I don't think that I have understood the setup.
How are the mails then picked up from the above Maildir?

Firstly thanks for your patience.
Let me try to explain my setup. Sorry if its long winded..

We have six tld domains.
each domain has about 12 sub domains. i.e. branch1.tld1.com, branch1.tld2.com, branch2.tld1.com,
branch2.tld2.com and so on till branch12.tld6.com
The users belong to branches i.e. us...@branch1.tld1.com. But some users also belong to multiple
domains. Like us...@branch1.tld1.com, us...@branch1.tld2.com etc.

There is a central server at Head Office on which all the domains, sub domains and users are
configured. All domains and subdomains are virtual. There are no system users for email on the
central server.

On the central server all domains, subdomains and users are handled by vpopmail.

Each branch has a mail server. On these branch servers each user is a local system account. So mails
for us...@branch1.tld1.com and us...@branch1.tld2.com all end up in the same users $HOME/Maildir.
There is no vpopmail on the branch servers.

As all branch servers are configured to handle all tld's it is necessary for interbranch messages to
be routed to the central server by means of maildirsmtp. This is done by having

| forward alias-ppp-"$LOCAL"@"$HOST"
in the .qmail-default of all branch servers. We also have
./pppdir/
in the file /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-ppp-default
This causes interbranch messages ( for users not present in /etc/passwd but belonging to tld's
configured in qmail) to be dropped in alias/pppdir. From there the messages are picked up by
maildirsmtp and delivered to the central server. On the central server the message is put in users
/home/vpopmail/domains/branch#.tld#.com/user#/Maildir by vdelivermail by having

| /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox
in the .qmail-default for each tld on the central server.

All incoming messages from all world are thus deposited in the central server
as it holds all MX.
Form the central server all branch servers download the mails for respective local users by
fetchmail. Interbranch messages also are thusly transfered to the other branch.

Now suppose a us...@branch1.tld1.com wants to send a message to us...@branch2.tld1.com the message
is accepted by qmail and dumped in alias/pppdir. This puts in two Delivered-To: headers

1) Delivered-To: us...@branch2.tld1.com ( when delivering to the catchall ?)
2) Delivered-To: alias-ppp-us...@branch2.tld1.com ( when delivering to
alias-ppp ?)
The 2nd Delivered-To: alias-ppp-rc...@branch2.domain1.com is properly stripped off by maildirsmtp
but the 1st one remains in messages being delivered to the central server by maildirsmtp.
This is what must be causing the trouble. As on the central server if we put vpopmail 5.4.27 the
message bounces with "mail is looping" but if we use vpopmail 5.4.9 with everything else remaining
exactly same the message is delivered to /home/vpopmail/domains/branch#.tld#.com/user#/Maildir
perfectly. And as you said in your earlier mail the "mail is looping" bounce message is from
vdelivermail not from qmail.

Question is why it causes "mail is looping" bounces with vdelivermail 5.4.27 and why not in 5.4.9
when both are receiving exactly the same headers? And what can I do to get it working in 5.4.27? (
The setup has been running past few years perfectly and still does with everything upgraded except
vpopmail )

Also yourself and anybody else with experience in running a similar setup please share how you would
set things up to overcome this difficulty I am having.

How are the mails then picked up from the above Maildir?

Just to explain
I also use similar setup for banks who have branches with intermittent
connectivity. Typically, I don't use vdelivermail on the central server.
Just the maildir in the .qmail-default
i.e.
/mail1//autoturn/Maildir/
The delivered-To is inserted by the qmail-local program

On the branch servers I have fetchmail which uses ODMR (atrn) to pull the
mails from the central server and deliver it locally. ODMR causes
maildirsmtp to run on /mail1//autoturn/Maildir/ and strips of the
Delivered-To header when submitting it to the local SMTP on the branch
server. There is no issue with delivering as the Delivered-To is stripped
off.
But in your case you have to figure out the reason for the two Delivered-To:
headers. There should be only one.

Re: [vchkpw] Mails delivered by maildirsmtp bounce with looping error after upgrade from 5.4.9 to 5.4.27



1. On the central server you are using vdelivermail to deliver it to a 
Maildir

 Check your .qmail-default file on the central server.
vdelivermail adds a Delivered-To: header


My .qmail-default on central server is

| /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox





2. On the final branch server, you are again using vdelivermail to 
deliver the mail to the
   user's maildir. vdelivermail has a code is_looping() which checks if 
the header Delivered-To is present. The message "mail is looping" is in 
the vdelivermail code. SMTP has the message
"message is looping (#5.4.6) which is totally different from the message 
shown in the bounce.


The message never reaches the final branch server. Its bounced by the central 
server.

As I had mentioned in my first mail, branch server has all users as local system accounts. There is 
no vpopmail installed on branch servers. So delivery is made direct to users $HOME/Maildir.


As the message is bounced by the central server it means the error code "mail is looping" is coming 
from the central servers vdelivermail.





3. Delivered-To is removed by maildirsmtp. Which again leads to the 
suspicion that
   there are more than one delivered-To header in the mail on the 
central server


I would request you again to go to your central server (not the branch 
server and not the bounce message which you gave earlier). On the 
central server go do the Maildir of the catch-all alias. Just look for 
Delivered-To header in the mail.


There is no catch all alias. There never was. Earlier we used to operate under catch all delete. Now 
it is catch all bounce. Changing it to catch all delete has no effect. Under vpopmail 5.4.9 there 
are no looping error bounces but under 5.4.27 there are, be it delete or bounce in the .qmail-default


I am also replying to your other mail in here..

When the mail reaches the central server, Delivered-To: alias-ppp-rc...@branch2.domain1.com 
disappears as it is stripped by maildirsmtp. The message is never delivered by the central server to 
anybody but is bounced with the looping error, hence in the bounce message we see only one 
Delivered-To: header which must be the remaining on from here (i.e. the one sent by the branch 
server ) and it must be the one causing the trouble. Its put in by branch server qmail first 
accepting the message as its for a local domain but later putting it in alias/pppdir as per 
.qmail-default when a matching user is not found on local server. Question is why was vpopmail on 
central server accepting this in version 5.4.9 and why is it now bouncing the same kind of messages 
in version 5.4.27?


>
> What is your .qmail-default file for branch2.domain1.com

| forward alias-ppp-"$LOCAL"@"$HOST"

Remember all branch users are local system accounts. There is no vpopmail on 
branch server.

There are two Delivered-To headers and that's the problem.
The first line is
Delivered-To: alias-ppp-rc...@branch2.domain1.com
The second is
Delivered-To: rc...@branch2.domain.com

Which of these two dissapear when you replace with the older vdelivermail?

What is your .qmail-default file for branch2.domain1.com?

What if you put just the maildir path in .qmail-default file?
/maildirpath/Maildir/

I think I have found out your problem.

1. On the central server you are using vdelivermail to deliver it to a
Maildir
 Check your .qmail-default file on the central server.
vdelivermail adds a Delivered-To: header

2. On the final branch server, you are again using vdelivermail to deliver
the mail to the
   user's maildir. vdelivermail has a code is_looping() which checks if the
header Delivered-To is present. The message "mail is looping" is in the
vdelivermail code. SMTP has the message
"message is looping (#5.4.6) which is totally different from the message
shown in the bounce.

3. Delivered-To is removed by maildirsmtp. Which again leads to the
suspicion that
   there are more than one delivered-To header in the mail on the central
server

I would request you again to go to your central server (not the branch
server and not the bounce message which you gave earlier). On the central
server go do the Maildir of the catch-all alias. Just look for Delivered-To
header in the mail.

The maildir is on the BRANCH server. maildirsmtp picks the mail from
there and delivers to central server. The vpopmail is running on
central server. Where if I use 5.4.27 the mail bounces back with
looping error. If I use vpopmail 5.4.9 it does not bounce.
Here is a header from a mail in the maildir before it is picked up by
maildirsmtp..

Delivered-To: rc...@branch2.domain1.com

How do I know if I am reaching the header limit?
I dont have a  control/MAXHOPS Never had.
If that is the problem how does reverting back to vpopmail 5.4.9
resolves the issue?

You have given a sample of a mail which has bounced. Can you send an headers
from the email from the Maildir on the central server? This is before it is
picked up by maildirsmtp.

Also the error message is from qmail-smtpd. There is a maximum limit of no
of headers
in qmail-smtpd (defined by MAXHOPS). Are you reaching that limit. You can
create a control file /var/qmail/control/maxhops in case you want to

Inter branch messages are delivered to the central server by maildirsmtp and downloaded by other

No, because just reverting back to vpopmail 5.4.9 solves the issue 
without touching qmail in any
way. Its the combination of maildirsmtp and vpopmail 5.4.27 thats 
causing the trouble. Everything

else is working fine.

Can you show the full headers from one mail from the Maildir on the
central server.
maildirsmtp removes the Delivered-To header from the mail before sending
it to the destination host by SMTP.
By any chance are there two Delivered-To: headers in your mail?



here it is. I have obfuscated user, domain names & IP's.

Re: [vchkpw] Mails delivered by maildirsmtp bounce with looping error after upgrade from 5.4.9 to 5.4.27

2009-04-23 Thread Tren Blackburn

Sorry to top post, but what options did you configure 5.4.9 with and what did 
you configure 5.4.27 with? How do you determine what messages go to which 
branch? Via smtproutes? Forwards? Mx records? IP over Avian Carrier (IPoAC) ;)

Regards,

Tren

No, because just reverting back to vpopmail 5.4.9 solves the issue without 
touching qmail in any 
way. Its the combination of maildirsmtp and vpopmail 5.4.27 thats causing the 
trouble. Everything 
else is working fine.

Due to very heavy load on qmail-scanner we decided to implement John
Simpson's validrcptto.cdb to filter out invalid recipients before
messages hit qmail-scanner. As part of this we upgraded vpopmail to
5.4.27 in order to get the onchange functionality. The validrcptto
mechanism now works perfectly.


After re-reading this, it may not be vpopmail's vdelivermail process
rejecting the message.  It may be a qmail process.  Just something
to think about.
