We are right now in the process of migrating a large sendmail installation.
I ran into a problem.
the sendmail installation we want to replace has a mailertable of +/- 24 entries
which tells the mta where to relay mails for a specific domain.
the syntax goes like this;
domain.org mta1.otherdomain.org
sub.domain.org mta2.differentdomain.org
etc
I don't know how to implement this in qmail.
your help is much appreciated.
regards.

control/smtproutes
quoting from qmail-control.0:
smtproutes
Artificial SMTP routes. Each route has the form
domain:relay, without any extra spaces. If domain
matches host, qmail-remote will connect to relay, as
if host had relay as its only MX. (It will also
avoid doing any CNAME lookups on recip.) host may
include a colon and a port number to use instead of
the normal SMTP port, 25:
inside.af.mil:firewall.af.mil:26
relay may be empty; this tells qmail-remote to look
up MX records as usual. smtproutes may include wild
cards:
.af.mil:
:heaven.af.mil
Here any address ending with .af.mil (but not af.mil
itself) is routed by its MX records; any other
address is artificially routed to heaven.af.mil.
The qmail system does not protect you if you create
an artificial mail loop between machines. However,
you are always safe using smtproutes if you do not
accept mail from the network.
Take care,

The first field is the timestamp (providing you used a 't' argument to
multilog). To convert it to readable local time, pipe the log through
tai64nlocal.

You can redirect the logfile to tai64nlocal (installed with daemontools)
like 'tai64nlocal < /var/log/qmail/current'. That will print it to stdout.
I'm not sure how to go about actually converting it as it logs, if that's
possible.

Ah, well that's a totally different story then. The man pages for
dot-qmail and qmail-command will be of particular interest.

qmail itself doesn't do this; you can use Dan's serialmail to do it, perhaps.

Hi Timothy,
Looks like no-one answered this... orphan message. Here
goes,
Hmm, I don't get this problem. Perhaps you're putting the -B
option too late (the arguments are - from the man page)
tcpserver [ opts] host port prog
Just to test this I tried
tcpserver -B 'pwd is ' ip_address 999 pwd
then telnetted to port 999 on the ip_address which gave the
expected result (you may also need -R, -H and -l options to
avoid certain lookups, or the associated delays where these
will fail).
cheers,
Andrew.

Subject: Q: tcpserver use of -B
Hello,
I have read through the qmail list and check all the documentation
that I could find... but I still do not know how to use the -B option
of tcpserver. I have tried -B/<path to filename> which just prints
the /<path to filename on the line preceeding the 220 FCN-hostname
line. I have tried -B"Welcome to my mail system ", but I get error
messages in /var/adm/messages concerning unable to print banner.
So... what have others used... I am using this because:
-B banner: Write banner to the network immediately after each connection is
made. tcpserver writes banner before looking up $TCPREMOTEHOST, before
looking up $TCPREMOTEINFO, and before checking cdb. This feature can be used
to reduce latency in protocols where the client waits for a greeting from
the server.
I believe that I am having some latency between another system that
is using my qmail server as a smart relay... and I think the other
systems (Win2K, yuck...) is causing deferrals in its own mail. Maybe
I am off track and someone with experience with relaying for Win2K
SMTP service can let me know their experiences. Thank you.

Does qmail have any tools or add-ons that allow for web mail without
creating a bunch of user accounts on the mail server itself? I've got
MySQL running so I'm hoping that I can find something to allow webmail
from qmail and MySQL without creating a shell account for each webmail
user. I've done some hunting around but it seems like all the tools need
to have an actual account on the system for each webmail user.
I'm real new to MySQL but I do have it running and can probably figure out
what I need to do to it if I can find such a tool.
My goal is to have the webmail and alongside it a database for a locator
type purpose. i.e. People can create a webmail account and store
information about themselves for other users to come and view later on.
Each user would need to have the ability to come back later on and update
their information. And the system would need to keep each users
information safe from being changed by other users.
I'm not even sure if this stuff is possible but I was hoping that someone
on the list might be able to point me in the direction of some software
packages to get me a running start.

Maybe you would like it, but you shouldn't. 8-)
No, I'm serious. So much email crosses time zones, it's easier to
follow the progress of a messages if all Received: time stamps are the
same time zone.
Most end users won't bother with Received: headers anyway. As long as
the Date: header is in the local time zone of the sender, they're
happy.

There is a patch for the Qmail source that addresses this issue over at
http://www.qmail.org/
I had someone in sales ask for this patch [1], and I was able to apply
this patch without any problems.
- Sam
[1] Sales people are nortorious for wanting to have a time stamp for
the exact time they sent or received an email. In their time zone.

That's why sales people don't admin servers or write software.
There's a very good reason these headers are in UTC. If you send a
mail to the other side of the world, the next Received: line will also
be UTC. This means you don't have to do timezone calculations to see
how long a mail really took.
UTC is good. People requesting otherwise in their Received: header are
confused.
People complaining about Date: headers being in the wrong timezone
should get a new MUA. Making Date: headers user-readable is the MUA's
task. (unless some stupid misconfigured Eudora puts in Date headers in
other *languages*. I've seen that happen. I subsequently got blamed
for 'my qmail servers losing mail'. Turned out other Eudora's, when
receiving these broken Date: headers, considered the mail to be
infinitely old. Guess what these people were sorting on. Scrolling
down solved their problem :)

Calculations a provincial, fat, balding, ugly american sysdmin
like me will almost always get wrong because of EST, DST and God's time
are sometimes different sometimes not. Tell your salespeople that
the net is run geeks like me. :-) Don't even get into clock skew

Every sane server sends bounces with an empty return-path. Even a
normal sendmail installation does.
Darn. I knew RedHat was clueless, but this...
Greetz, Peter.
I saw a mention in the archives about a per-domain concurrency patch
- which would help make sure that a qmail server would not overload a
recipient smtp server when a higher volume of mail was being sent
out. Is the patch available or are there other ways to achieve this
result? I know you can set the concurrency remote lower - but was
wondering how you can keep that number higher while still making sure
that certain recipient domains were not overwhelmed.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Geoffrey

It's a broken idea. The admin of the remote server should set their
concurrency limits to something their system can handle -- if they don't,
then that's their problem, not yours.
> Is the patch available or are there other ways to achieve this

The best way is if you notice that a large number of concurrent SMTP
sessions to a given server knocks it over, send the postmaster there a polite
mail telling them their configuration is broken.

I agree, but there is a different class of problem that one might want to
solve, which leads to the original problem. 'our' problem is that all of
the concurrency remote outgoing slots are being used to transfer mail to
one domain, whereas it /might/ be desireable for qmail to send sendable[0]
mail to a variety of domains.
For example, if I only have 40 outbound connect slots I might not want
all of them to bet consumed sending mail to AOL, I might want dedicate
some of my resources to delivering mail to other domains.
RjL
[0]sendable in the sense that there is a message that is on the 'a
delivery attempt should be made now' queue rather than any knowledge about
the sucess/failure of trying to deliver it

To play devil's advocate, you could also look at this situation in terms of
"if this server handles enough mail that all remoteconcurrency is sucked up
by one domain, than it's busy enough to justify raising the remote
concurrency limits, and upgrading the hardware if necessary".
I find that even a modest box can easily handle a remote concurrency of
100 or better with qmail.

This is not the vpopmail mailing list.

Hi,
i've read (on this list) about some patch beeing
available for qmail to implement this feature. Has anybody got an idea just
where i could get it (if it's available)?

I've got a qmail system in which pop3 dies after about 30 minutes of use.
The system load average in low, can't see any obvious run away process,
the rest of the system works fine (sshd, smtp, http, ftp). killing all
qmail process's and restarting gets it to work for about another 30
minutes....
Any suggestions as to where to start looking?

What do the logs say?
Greetz, Peter.
Can't see anything obvious....
This is a busy server so the logs a flying pretty fast, connetions just
time out and I can't see any obvious failure messages in the logs.
Any suggestions for what I should grep for?

Well, I suppose there's no log of any pop3 activity after it dies.
What are the last few lines logged about pop3?

Hmm, is your pop3 perhaps reaching the concurrency limit set in
tcpserver? Or, if running from inetd (which is a bad idea), is the
ratelimiting holding it back?
Greetz, Peter.
grep for pop3 on mail.log and daemon.log for pop3 (digital unix) returns
nothing.
this is how it is called:
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup
my.domain.com /
bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir &

This startup doesn't specify any logging.

Should I add:

Yes, if that's the number you are supplying as the -c option to the
tcpserver instance launching qmail-pop3d. Double or quadruple it and see
if your problems stop. You could also enable the logging from tcpserver for
that.

Ok, tried changing this:
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup
my.domain.com /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir &
to this:
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -c 200 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup
my.domain.com /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir &
See what that does.

Hi,
Which qmail process write the X-Sender field in the headers? I would like
to remove it, or to rewrite it, because it uses the name of my
host/domain, which are not real. BTW, how can i rewrite any header of my
outgoing mail?

I don't know any qmail process which do that : it's most probably
your mail program which is doing that. For example in omail-webmail,
I also set a X-Sender, to let recipient see where the mail
is really comming from.

Hello,
Yes, this is correct. As far as I remember, Eudora adds this header.
There is might be few more more programs like this, but I don't know
about them.. yet:-)

I'm getting these headers with every email that qmail is sending:
X-Mozilla-Status: 8011
X-Mozilla-Status2: 00000000
X-UIDL: 982463923.22586.naomi
How can these be removed or changed to my own liking ?
Cheers,

Change your MUA -- qmail isn't adding these headers, it's Mozilla (Netscape).

Thanks for this info. I figured out that few minutes after I sent
e-mail to list. Thing is, that this list is private for 4 persons and
there won't be any big attachments. anyway, if they ask me, I can
remove attachments. I think, I will able to do this :)

I installed the vpopmail rpm.

What gives? (This is to investigate some ezmlm user's problem which I

I installed

The rpm perhaps is suspect; it says, for example, that the License is
