Thanks a lot for that one word. I'll start configuring fetchmail for qmail. Thanks a lot. BTW can u point to any doc that shows host to do it.

[http://cr.yp.to/qmail/future.html] It looks like he's talking (at least) about djbdns as the resolver library for future qmail. I wouldn't consider daemontools or ucspi-tcp a *part* of qmail, unless that's the plan for a future version. /pg -- Peter Green : Gospel Communications Network, SysAdmin : [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- "...Unix, MS-DOS, and Windows NT (also known as the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly)."

I'm trying to determine how to control where mail gets forward to when mailed to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" (one of my hosts). 1. africaalive.org is a CNAME for virtual.jhuccp.org. (This seems to be backwards in the DNS, where looking up virtual.jhuccp.org determines that the canonical name is africaalive.org. Odd...) In the DNS records, this is recorded as "africaalive.org internet address = 162.129.225.199". This is the IP address of virtual.jhuccp.org. However, there are no MX records in the DNS for either africaalive.org or virtual.jhuccp.org. There is an MX record for jhuccp.org. This is my first question, how is mail to africaalive.org even finding us to begin with? This address does work correctly. 2. In reading the qmail manuals, I learned the importance of /var/qmail/control/rcpthost and virtualdomains. Here's the content of these files: virtual:/var/qmail/control # cat rcpthosts localhost virtual.jhuccp.org africaalive.org virtual:/var/qmail/control # cat virtualdomains africaalive.org:africaalive.org virtual:/var/qmail/control # >From my reading, the first value in the virtualdomains files identifies a local user >to send mail to which arrived addressed to the second value.

I can't figure out how to get into the aliases.db file >to see if there's an alias for africaalive.org in there. I'm not very familiar with qmail and probably haven't read the documentation as throughly as I should, but none of this is making sense. Would someone please give me a hand and point me in the right direction to figure this out. Thanks for your help. -Kevin Zembower ----- E.

Close. It's a *prefix*. Mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] will be delivered locally to africaalive.org-foo. >However, I have no user "africaalive.org" on host >virtual. That could be a problem, especially if you also don't have a ~alias/.qmail-africaalive:org-default file to "catch" the virtual domain's mail. >There's also no /etc/aliases file, though I do have an >/etc/aliases.db file.

Hi Though my topic has been discussed n times on list I get to know that for a millions users yu should netapp/nfs storage talking to many frontends which may be one or two smtp and/or pop and/or imap servers talking to the same mailstore(netapp) My doubt is to is there a certain metric where yu decide how many such fronts will be required if i have 1 million users and about 1000 transactions at ANY GIVEN POINT OF TIME (transaction can be incoming outgoing etc -total transactions-any nature) I am sure this topic has been a much discussed topics a number of times,but this is all i need Thanx in advance Mark __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I'm trying to forward all the messages received by an user and keep copies in his local Maildir, the local copies are working fine but the forward is not. I tested the .qmail file running qmail-local manually and in this case everything worked correctly (keep copies and forward the message). The .qmail file looks like this (and the permissions are 644): /qspool/mydomain/n_s5/e6/raadvip/Maildir/ &user2@otherdomain Any suggestions? BTW, I'm using qmailldap.

Check the dotmode. qmail-ldap does not use .qmail-files for ldap deliveries unless dotmode is set to both. Check http://www.lifewithqmail.org/ldap/ for more, section 8.1.1.14 and 8.1.2 in special. And, btw, you don't need a .qmail-file for this task. Just set the ldap attributes mailForwardingaddress: user2@otherdomain deliveryMode: localdelivery The deliverymode=localdelivery forces an local delivery even if a forwarding is done. This is also explained in life with qmail-ldap, section 8.1.2.

Is there multiple "badhostfrom" files from different domains ?? No, but you could use something like a virus scanner or spam checker that lets you write customized validation scripts. -Dave

If you open an XTerm and run printenv, is it set? Next, how do you start X? Do you type "startx" at a command prompt? Or do you use XDM and log in through a graphical window? In the second case, do you have a .xsession file in your home directory? If so, does it set the QMAILMFTFILE variable? Also, do you know how XFMail sends mail? If it runs the sendmail program, make sure that sendmail (/usr/sbin/sendmail) is a symbolic link to /var/qmail/bin/sendmail. On the other hand, if it talks directly to an SMTP server, the QMAILMFTFILE variable won't work at all. Tim

Great!= Tim you guess the problem:XFMail actually uses SMTP, and sincerly I ignored completely that Mail-Follow-Up can't works with SMTP;however XFMail can works with sendmail too which was the default setting... if I would choice to use the symbolic link to /var/qmail/bin/sendmail (I've completely wiped away original SENDMAIL from disk) would I have some worsing performances respect to use qmail via SMTP?

Nothing that you'd notice. And you'd gain the benefit of QMAILMFTFILE. Tim
When a qmail server is listed as a low priority MX among 3 others, do I have to put something under /var/qmail/control/* even if this server is really not the ultimate destination? Thanks. \ LLU

Thanks. At a minimum you should the name of the server in the "me" file and the name of all domains you are secondary MX for in the "rcpthosts" file. Tim

Lately several of the virtual domains have been getting duplicate e-mails.

Actually it could be a bit more difficult than just the remote host has sent it twice.

for us, it was a cisco problem (smtp fixup), but i don't think that there's been enough info given here to determine if that's the problem. if you're seeing dups on a smtp level, the firewall may be the issue. the same behavior can be caused by pop/mailbox problems; that's easier to investigate.

some cisco firewalls (pix 520 and 515; not sure if others as well) provide facilities for rewriting connections through certain ports (smtp, sqlnet, ftp, http). the smtp rewrite is turned on by default. it only allows rfc 822 smtp commands to be passed. any other text that appears in a smtp conversation where a command should be found is replaced with XXXXX.

Another good analysis is to check the message headers, especially msgid and received-lines.

Hello, It is probably just me, but one of my domains started creating this extra directory named "0" as you see illustrated below. Is this a feature or a misconfiguration on my part somehow? I am still using vpopmail 4.9.9 I have downloaded 4.9.10 but everything is working so well I would hate to break it by upgrading. bash-2.04# pwd /var/vpopmail/domains/domain.net/0 bash-2.04# ls -la total 10 drwx------ 5 vpopmail vchkpw 512 Apr 10 23:12 . drwx------ 24 vpopmail vchkpw 1024 Apr 11 11:38 .. drwx------ 3 vpopmail vchkpw 512 Apr 10 23:12 test1 drwx------ 3 vpopmail vchkpw 512 Apr 10 23:03 test2 So far this is the only domain that this is happening to. The accounts seem to work ok. Is this normal? Thanks in advance Rick Up

I'm installing qmail according to the Life with qmail instructions. I'd like to have traditional UNIX mailboxes, and use vpopmail to allow smtp relay after pop authentication. Does vpopmail work alongside procmail or maildrop, or is it a replacement? How should I proceed from section 2.8.1. (/var/qmail/rc) of the installation guide? Thanks, Steven
Why does Life with qmail suggest separating the defaultdelivery from the /var/qmail/rc file? The advantage isn't obvious to me. Thanks, Steven
The line before the make error message is : bin/sh: nroff: command not found It appears that I am missing something on my system. I will check and report back.

i know that its been asked on the list before.....but i can't remember when or the answer for that matter. i'd like to log the usernames from my pop users...to see who is getting their mail and whose not :-) i thought that there was a tcpserver or multilog switch for it...but i can't remember...can someone help me out :-) ~kurth
kurth, I wrote a logging patch to do just that. see http://www.quint.be/projects/ -Willy On Thursday, April 12, 2001 02:20, Kurth Bemis [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] wrote: > > i know that its been asked on the list before.....but i can't remember when > or the answer for that matter. > > i'd like to log the usernames from my pop users...to see who is getting > their mail and whose not :-) > > i thought that there was a tcpserver or multilog switch for it...but i > can't remember...can someone help me out :-) > > ~kurth
I get the following message when running any part of /usr/local/sbin/qmail /usr/local/sbin/qmail: No such file or directory I don't appear to have /var/run/svscan.pid, though I've gone over the daemontools installation a few times already.. Any ideas? Steven
Hi, is there a common way to synchronize two maildirs? These are two qmail-servers that both only offer imap to the outside. One is a dialin proxy. I had a look at Michael Elkins' isync but if I got it right it only works if you use mutt as direct client and it might not work if the mails are polled via imap. Furthermore I thought of a synchronisation with unison. This would be a two-way synchronisation of the files in the maildirs. Should one encounter problems doing it this way because the mails never pass qmail when they enter the system? The files are just copied into the maildirs and if necessary deleted there. Is this a bad idea? thanks for any hint /ch
excuse me for question too particular!!! I have a problem with PINE version <4.00 How can I see the all folders created on the server ?? With the PINE versions >4.00 it's possible with CollectionList option but with version <4 it'is impossible for me I have tried (without success) with "folder-collection" option (in setup) specifying {server-imap-name}inbox[] or {server-imap-name}Maildir/[] or {server-imap-name}/[] and so on... I have downloaded from internet many manual written by System Managers of American Universities for PINE configuration but I haven't found the solution!! Where is the solution or is there the solution ?? thanks. ========================================================================== MASSIMO QUINTINI - Osservatorio Astronomico Collurania Teramo (O.A.C.T.) = Via Mentore Maggini s.n.c. - 64100 TERAMO (Italy) = Tel:39-0861.210490 Fax:39-0861.210492 http://www.te.astro.it = ==========================================================================
