Hi all
How do I have qmail-smtpd check if the domain in the From: address is
valid?

The "From:" header is part of the message's data and you'd have to parse
the entire message in qmail-smtpd. The envelope sender's address which
is the one in the MAIL FROM: part of the SMTP conversation is easier to
do and there is/was a patch on www.qmail.org for checking that.

Out of interest, and not wishing to start another religious war, what
would people use for simple out bound servers ?
The need for a decent storage (speed / reliability) is obvious for a
singular mail server. What about outbound only servers ?
The reason I ask is that I am invloved with a few projects that send
personalised emails (no not spam). Queue importance is not critical.
We looked at the cost of hardware raid (0+1 or 5) and IDE vs SCSI.
IN the end the simplest solution was multiple (and simple) IDE based
servers - as going SCSI or RAID would only appear to offer parity in the
cost vs performance ratio compared to IDE. This may be due to the UK
having higher component and rack costs than the US, I am not sure.
I would be interested what people on the list have to say, as I am sure
many have been here before.

If you can have multiple boxes (ie, you have the space and the expertise
to manage them) I think the best answer cost-wise is a bunch of cheap
boxes with mirrored IDE drives, preferable hardware-based mirroring. qmail
seems to hit limits in this order: Bandwidth, RAM, Disk I/O, CPU.
The one gotcha with qmail is the queue, if the file system that holds the
queue is lost or corrupted, you lose mail (assuming there is something in
the queue of course)..

I think you'd find the pricing is similiar in everywhere. I priced a
machine with 72GB of good, fast SCSI with RAID. The storage alone (discs,
enclosure, RAID controller) was over half the price of the machine
($6000-$10000). One could get 72GB of mirrored IDE storage for less than
$800 on a guess. Sure, the performance may not be the same when comparing
straight up, but the SCSI is almost 4-5 times the IDE price.

No. The performance is much more influenced by the data flow and patterns.
When talking RAID and which level should be used, what data is written and
how is the determining factor. Good vs Bad hardware is irrelevant, as you
can use the same hardware to achieve different levels of RAID, in
simplistic terms.

RAID-5 lags RAID-0 or RAID-1 in writes, in most cases. First, you have
extra data to write (n x parity size). Second, it takes some defineable
amount of time to create that parity vs not creating it at all. Granted,
plenty of CPU will make that a small difference, assuming the bottleneck
is at the drives and not bus bandwidth.
Most RAID-1 implementations will at least get single drive performance on
writes, even some of the IDE based ones. Which is why a lot of people
recommend RAID1+0 if you want performance and are willing to pay for it.
Assuming random balanced read/write, of course. :)

The other plus to RAID1+0 (RAID0+1, I forget which means which :) ) is
withstanding multiple drive failures. Lose a second drive while the RAID 5
is reconstructing and it's all over. RAID1+0 will fail if both drives in a
single mirror die, assuming 2 drives per mirror. Chances of each depends
on the number of drives, controller and such of course.

Hmmm, what are you running that lets you do RAID5 over RAID5? Software
based over Hardware RAID? Special high end controllers?

I agree, which to use where depends on too many factors to say which is
a better choice without more information about the requirements. The rest
is all just arguing. :)

To set relayclient, have I to install ucspi?
There's a qmail-bounce.patch on the qmail site that
adds the ability to put a bouncemaxbytes file in your
control directory and in it you specify, in bytes,
the maximum size of a bounce, the rest gets stripped.
I use it and it works great, I only bounce 25k messages
now.

As was stated on this list (I read thru some of the archives just recently),
why not let your users use the ISP's Mail-server if they are on the road.
That is the only practical solution I know of.
Other than that you can only set up a VPN, with which the users can once
again use your internal infra-structure.

I'd have to agree. I have about 15 RH boxes, with 5-6 running 6.2,
including 2 of them running qmail with no problems so far.

I have yet to see(or hear) about anything that failed to compile because
of the compiler. The biggest reason stuff fails to compile is failure to
follow ISO C(and C++). If consider only C, it doesn't really matter which
compiler you ship. If you consider C++, it depends. "2.96" has some new
features that RH wanted to take advantage of, and the different versions
aren't binary compatible anyway, so why not use that one that gives you
the features you want?
Both compiler and glibc works fine. Look at it this
way. Everything(except kernel 2.2.17 and kde1) in 7.0 was compiled with
the experimental compiler, and everything seem to work just fine for
me. I even compiled 2.4.0-test9(which I have running on my desktop
box) with the new compiler and it works fine too.

I haven't really seen anything in RH 7.0 that I find stupid yet. Perhaps
I would do certain things different, but that doesn't make theirs stupid.
Obqmail: I would probably run qmail on RH 6.2 for now, and put 7.0 under
testing when you get time.
Ole Gjerde
As far as qmail is concerned, RH 7 is much better than earlier RHs.
For one, sendmail does not get installed by default anymore if your
qmail rpm has appropriate provides.
And qmail and friends compile without any problems whatsoever. So I
really do not understand this discussion in relation to qmail.

My goal is to block spamming through my host, allowing relay for my
customers.
Is there a way for doing that, without installing ucspi (and setting
relayclients in tcp.smtp file)?

Yes. Hand your clients X.509 certificates and require the certificate
to establish SMTP connection.
Jokes aside: Your question sounds like you don't want to spend
any effort. In that case, the reply is a sound NO - you don't get that
for free.
When you decide to invest some effort, please ask yourself a
question: How do you tell your client from a spammer? Is it that:
* your client has IP address of some form?
* your client knows some username and password? (like for his
POP account?)
* your client knows some secret port number?
* your client has a certain X.509 certificate?
* your client has a certain PGP key?
* your client has local account?
After you answer these questions, we'll tell you which mechanism
can be employed to allow only authorized relay.
You might want to start from RFC2505 which explains quite a bit
about (un)authorized relaying.

Thanks for all your help
guys. I got the qmail tshirt installed correctly. It just took a
little sobering because my system is running Mandrunk 7.1.
Now I have another small
problem. My system is constantly overheating. I think it is because I have an
old version of tshirt still installed. I've tried removing it, but the new
tshirt install is making it very difficult.
Lucky for
me a female collegue of mine has solved a
similar problem uninstalling bra after installing tshirt so I think I
can get help from her. The poor thing was running openPMS at the time
too.

I've tried taking it off and

Hi All,
I'm digging into virtual domains and I'm having a problem with
logging into my virtual domain.
In /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains I have a line that looks like
this:
virtdom.net:virtdom.net
virtdom.net is a valid unix user with home
directory /home/virtdom.net
I can log into my account (user) with this 'virtdom.net-user' but
not with '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' or 'user:virtdom.net'.
My /etc/vmailmgr/separators contains '@:%'
Is there a setting required to permit hostname based access? I've
looked through the docs for vmailmgr and it seems to assume
hostbased access just kinda works.
versions:
qmail-1.03+patches-14
vmailmgr-0.96.9-1
redhat 6.2

You can also take a look at the "qmail-qfilter" program, I'm using it with

Try http://qmail-scanner.sourceforge.net/
You can configure perl regular expressions to defer certain Headers (like
Subject = I Love You, etc)
You can also do virus checking with this.
Is this what you were looking for?

hi,
if I have a user called "user.com", can I tell qmail to use it as a
recipient for a virtualdomain? Like in
virtualdomains:
---
user.com:user.com
---
I have tried doing this and qmail cannot find the user at all. Mails to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] got bounced with a "Sorry, no mailbox here by that
name. (#5.1.1)".
Checking the maillog, I can see that qmail-send does translate
[EMAIL PROTECTED] into [EMAIL PROTECTED], so the
virtdomain rules are being applied ok. Now when it comes the time to
actually find the domain.com user, it fails.
I've also tested sending mails to domain.com@localhost and they failed
with a (#5.1.1) error. So my conclusion is that qmail does not behave
properly with dotted user names. Is this documented somewhere? Or am I
doing something wrong?

hi,
if that is handled by an alias faq 4.6 applies:
--snip--
4.6. How do I create aliases with dots? I tried setting up
~alias/.qmail-P.D.Q.Bach, but it doesn't do anything.
Answer: Use .qmail-p:d:q:bach. Dots are converted to colons, and
uppercase is converted to lowercase.

checkpassword.c, qmail-getpw.c, and presumably mysql.c expect the password
to be stored encrypted. Consequently, when given an attempted password to
verify, they first encrypt the attempted password before comparing it with
the stored password. If you are storing passwords as clear text, you will
have to disable the code that encrypts the attempted password before
comparison.
I do not use this patch myself, so I am unaware of where exactly to modify
the code. The "crypt()" function is used to encrypt text; you will need to
search for where that function is used on the attempted password, and modify
that code to not use crypt.

I think what he's asking for is a way to send a message to every user at

with something that keeps the list of users fresh and updated. I haven't
delved into mailing lists yet, so I'm afraid my expertise stops here.

Someone posted a script called mailtoall that read the passwd file and
sent mail to everyone in it except certain ones. Dunno if it also did
the users/assign boxes too, but it should be on www.qmail.org.

Hi.
I'm using my simple script:
#!/bin/sh
for i in `cat /etc/passwd | awk -F ':' '{ print $1 }'`;do
echo Sending to $i
cat $1 | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject -f nobody $i
done
As you can see - it's getting user name from /etc/passwd and 'touching'
message
on output through qmail-inject.

hi,
I was wondering what commands I can use to read email when I telnet to the
pop3 port, what other commands are ther?

You can find a full listing in RFC 1939, available at:
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1939.html
A brief summary of the more useful commands for basic validation and
troubleshooting work:
USER username Log in as username.
PASS password Give username's password (unencrypted!).
STAT List how many messages are on the server, with total
byte count. Additional information may be given.
LIST [msg#] List all messages (or only the specified one), giving
the message's ID number and byte size.
RETR msg# Retrieve message number msg#. (May scroll your screen!)
DELE msg# Delete message number msg#.
NOOP Null operation.
Although I have put the commands in all-caps for clarity, they are
case-insensitive. More information is available in the above-referenced
RFC, which I highly recommend you read if you want to know more about POP3
syntax and commands.

This is indeed an issue with your IMAP server, as qmail, being only a
transport agent, doesn't (normally) do anything to the message except
receive it and store it. Therefore, this is not really a question to ask
the qmail list. However, I can tell you that the guy who wrote Courier IMAP
is very unforgiving about messages that don't conform to standards, so your
options are to either switch to another IMAP server, or try and persuade the
people at sina.com.cn to fix their broken email system.

I just recently migrated all my customers over to a new machine with
RAID. Everything _seems_ to be working fine.
I have some users that are calling up telling me they cant connect to the
pop3 server even though they havent changed anything.
Any time i test it from here by telnetting to port 110 and logging in as
them it works fine. It also works fine for 95% of all of our
users. Sometimes having them reboot fixes the problem, or removing the
account and reinstalling the account (in outlook express) fixes it.
I'm trying to get some logging going on the qmail-pop3d daemon to see
whats up.
I modified russ nelsons script to do it, but the $USER and $HOME variables
dont work because checkvpw is totally different.
Does anybody know what variable i would need to get checkvpw to log
properly with qmail-pop3d?

This was discussed recently in the vmailmgr mailing list. Put a script

make it executable:
#!/bin/sh

Unfortunately, in the stock qmail, nowhere. However, you may start up
your favorite packet capturing software, sniffit or its equivilent,
and see what is going on between the two servers easily enough.
I've never used it, but there is a djb piece of software known as
recordio that you can use to log every smtp command sent or received
by qmail-smtpd.
Again, though, if this is the problem the exchange server should be
logging qmail's smtp response! If there's a stray newline,
qmail-smtpd will spit out a 4xx error code and the URL quoted above.

Woohoo! Figured it out. The stupid windows mailserver didn't log anything
useful, so I took one of the messages and used 'nc' to pipe it into qmail.
The message was autogenerate by some .asp file somewhere and had a stray
<lf> in it.

Hi guys,
I've developed a qmailadmin like web application, and I'd like you to give
your opinion about it.
It's not so powerful as qmailadmin yet, but I'll keep improving it some
time more.
You can find some screenshots and download link at

I'll be very pleased if some of you waste some time with it.

Hi all
i have written an sms forward filter in perl that allows me to trigger an sms message
to me if a
mail matches my criteria.
i then send an sms including the sender of the mail and the subject line.
Now my problem is this:
I live in denmark and thus it happens pretty often that a subject line includes
non-standard ascii
characters.
subject lines with non-standard ascci characters are iso-8859-1 encoded, example
follows:
=?iso-8859-1?Q?N=E5_min_skat_-_jeg_g=E5r_til_afdelingsm=F8de_i?=
=?iso-8859-1?Q?_Bredgade_nu_-_jeg_ringer_senere=2E_Kys_til_dig_fra_mig?=
=?iso-8859-1?Q?_=2AS=2A?=
this subject actually reads:
Nå min skat - jeg går til afdelingsmøde iBredgade nu - jeg ringer senere. Kys til dig
fra mig*S*
(if this looks weird don't worry -it's danish :)
ofcourse this looks pretty silly in an sms message så what i would like is a way to
convert this
back to ascii
I have tried everything i could find, and no perl module seems able to do this for me
(including
SGML::ISO8859).
Neither have i found a binary or a sheel script or anything like it that works for me,
but since every mailreader seems able to handle this, then i must conclude that there
ARE exsisting
tools for this conversion...
Do you know of any?

I assume you mean you want to convert it back to iso-58859-1.
I did this in tcl a while back. It's actually fairly simple, ?charset?Q?text?
means that 'text' is encoded into ascii using quoted printable. quoted
printable basically just says that '=dd' should be replaced with the code in
hex.
I think the actual conversion is a one liner in perl...something along the
lines of 's/=(..)/chr(hex($1))/eg' (Note this is untested.)

Quoted-printable should be easily decoded by using the MIME::QuotedPrint
package (written by Gisle As) from your local CPAN mirror.

That alias was working fine, until i added a user bhs for posting webpages.
Now I have to have the user bhs...

not the usual /home/bhs...
and i deleted the directory created by skel /home/bhs
but the alias is still not working...
how do i get the alias working again...without removing the user bhs?

Is the alias in the /var/qmail/alias directory as .qmail-bhs or are you
using vpopmail? I always assumed that it checked for an alias before a pop
user account. If you're authentication from /etc/passwd and not using
vpopmail or something for domain control, then you might need to copy the
/var/qmail/alias/.qmail-bhs file to /web/bhs/.qmail if you want to keep the
bhs username for something else.

How does one make a virtual user for an address at a "locals" site?
I can make them easily for virtusers. Stupid qmail doens't say
"which" maildir it can't cd to... so there's very little chance of
actually using that vague error.

Something is already listening on port 25. Maybe inetd. Maybe another

Check netstat --listening to see if anybody is doing it.
As for what process? I dunno if that info is available.

Maybe the ITU-T requirement applies to the physical connection to the line
(i.e. your modem, ISDN or whatever connection).
I would be very surprised if it applies to the actual software that you are
running on your server.
I can't comment on mail server licencing requirements, except to say that
there is certainly no requirement in most "western" countries that I know
of.

FWIW, I admin two mail servers in HK, licensing has never been an
issue. DNS delegation is a bureaucrats dream, though.
