Two possibilities come to my mind:

This "problem" with solutions and explanations is a thousand time in the
archives. A quick search for "sexyfun" or something likely would have
brought you the solution.
This list isn't intended for repeating the same FAQs all the time, its for
helping newbies to help themselves, solving real/complicated problems and
dicussions about extensions, code, patches, future development and so on.

And yet you go on to assault Henning, who is a long-standing contributor
to this list. You have three choices:
-live with the way this list works and get assistance here
-hire a qmail consultant to fix things for you, so you can ignore this
list
-just go away

Hi,
I read the archives, and posted a while ago on this topic with
no solution. What I want is to block specific domains / addresses.
This is not, in first instance, related to blocking spam. Now the
problem is, that fetchmail, if receiving a badmailfrom request
from qmail-smtpd stops delivering. I don't need or may use orbs
or rlbs solutions, though not related to spammers. Is there a
way to achive simple blocking some domains maybe with a
replacement for fetchmail? I read Charles Getmail FAQ, with
no clue if it could serve my purpose.
Thanks Tom

That's the way fetchmail works if you've got it configured to deliver by
re-injecting with SMTP -- every message it tries to deliver has to be
successfully accepted by the SMTP server, or it stops working.
If you don't like this behaviour, don't deliver by SMTP injection, or
stop using fetchmail.

This is the #1 most frequently asked question on the list -- search the
archives, and you'll find it's been answered a thousand times.

If it's a valid local user, then you haven't installed properly. How
did you install? We can't help you without a _lot_ more information.
If you didn't use the "Life with qmail" method, you should probably
start over from scratch and follow "Life with qmail". It's much easier
for novices to get a working system this way.

If the message reaches the qmail server, it _will_ be logged.

Yes, the qmail-send log tells you this. You may also want to look into
using djb's qmail-analog package as well. See the list archives for
more information.

Better yet, make a virtual user. Put:
jim@defaultdomain:alias-defaultdomain
in control/virtualdomains and create ~alias/.qmail-defaultdomain-jim
as above. No need for ~alias/.qmail-defaultdomain-default.

Hi all,
Can I run qmail on solaris?
How?
Thanks..
Roger
*flees in fear for Roger's life*
Roger -- the list will flame you and tell you to see the Life with Qmail
doc. You can get to it from www.qmail.org.
You might also want to look through the archives... I seem to remember
this being a topic before... Good luck :)

You can. Whether you want to or not is a separate matter. If you're
looking at building a high-volume mail server, Solaris is not the best
choice for qmail (or other software, for that matter).
If, on the other hand, you just want a secure, reliable MTA to replace
sendmail with, to handle a few dozen/hundred/thousand messages a day,
qmail is perfect for the job, on just about any Unix-like OS.

I'm using qmail on Solaris - excellent - exactly this letter,
which I'm writting will be sent from Solaris host by qmail.
How, normal, as in instruction. Please retrieve qmail and tcpserver
and use tcpserver for smtp daemon and block in in inetd.conf
Compilation should be without problems except one. Its may be
necesserity to link -lbind ( this should be add to Makefile
in place, where are set library -lsocket and -lnsl)
So can be only problems, wheter you will install ezmlm-0.53
with idx-0.40 because on Solaris must be used patched version,
but this is possible too.
I will say, that all Dane Bernstein softwares work very
excellent and I'm a propagator to use it on Solaris.
I have got on my Sun qmail, ezmlm, djbdns, tcpserver-tcpclient
and of course daemontools, which must be used with djbdns

You don't *have* to install anything else, but it's not trivial to
write a good autoresponder, and Bruce Guenter's qmail-autoresponder is
nice.

Hi all.
I have a server running sendmail with thousand users.
I want to put another server with qmail to act as smtp
only. What I need is users configure qmail as smtp server
but keep the mailboxes on sendmail. If qmail receives
a message to a user domain it delivers to sendmail.
thanks

Configure qmail as if it were a secondary MX for the domain, and put an
smtproutes entry in which directs mail for the domain to the sendmail
server. Note you'll still need sendmail running as an SMTP daemon,
simply to accept mail from the qmail server.
The other way would be to have the qmail box deliver messages over NFS
-- but that's only 100% safe with Maildirs, and you're unlikely to be
delivering mail to $USER/Maildir/ on the sendmail box.

Hi!
using Peter Samuel's vacation program my
.qmail file has to look like
|/var/qmail/bin/preline /usr/local/bin/vacation john
./Maildir/
to get the reply to the sender.
BUT using "preline" is no good (I/O Buffers.....)
When my .qmail looks like
|/usr/local/bin/vacation john
./Maildir
the user gets mail but the sender *no* vacation message
Any ideas?
Thank you!

RTFM: 'man preline' indicates that it prepends From_, Return-Path and
Delivered-To. If vacation depends on any one of those lines (likely,
given its purpose), it'll obviously fail without preline's help.

Hi,
I have a problem with qmail, similar one was sent to the list, but I
could not find the answer in the archives.
Does anyone know what to do ?
W.
Problem is:
"Hi all,
I am running qmail-1.03+patches-12 on a RH6.2 system and have
suddenly
began to have a problem with the qmailadmin page. I can't seem to login
as
postmaster to either of the domains I administer. I am using the same
password that I use with postmaster to check the mail which works
fine. The error I keep getting is "Invalid Login." I was also wondering
if
there was a log file that I could look at that would tell me what the
reason is that I keep getting this error.
Thanks in advance,
David Litke"

Hi,
Is there a
way to turn relay a message off a server that has qmail installed? I was trying
to send a mail via Net:SMTP through the mail server (QMAIL) but it doesn't seem
to do anything. If there is a solution, could anybody give me a detailed way of
configuring this set-up? Thanks.
|
what's exactly your problem ?
try telnetting the server and do a smtp conversation by hand
if it works, the problem has to searched by perl, if this doesn't work
either, tell us some details about your configuration and especially your logs
