Hi,

 I have installed Qmail on RH linux 6.2 In maildir
format and also installed Vpopmail 4.8.5 and its
working fine.

While trying to install courier-imap 0.36 for imap
support for vpopmail, iam getting error while 
running
make install as root and the output is attached.

there is no error while running confifure and 
make as
non root user.

Also in /usr/lib/courier-imap/etc/imapd.config, 
only
authdaemon is selected in authmodules.

while trying to run imap deamon its responding on 
port
143. but its not able to authenticate to the
mailserver.

can u please help me in fixing this.

Also how to configure catchall in maildir format?
(all
mails sent to nonexistent user should go to
catchallmailbox)

Thank you for an early reply.


Regards,
kamesh

Hi Kamesh,

Try this -

INSTALLATION
Please dont login as root --- it wont work
*********  You MUST run the configure script as normal user, not root. Did
you  extract the tarball as root? It won't work. Remove the extracted source
code. Log in as a normal user. Extract the source code as a    normal user,
then run configure. You will need to do everything as a normal user
***********

If you are not using ldap currently do as given below -

$ ./configure
./configure --without-authldap --without-authmysql --without-authcram -
with-authvchkpw
$ make
$ make check
$ su root
*********  You should try make install-strip first. Use make install if make
install-strip fails.*******
# make install
# Or, make install-strip, to strip the executables

After installation, you will need to review
/usr/lib/courier-imap/etc/imapd.config and make any changes you deem
necessary, including:
By using the above ./configure cmd - you are enabling this to use
authentication by vchkpw....

*****Use the following command to start the Courier-IMAP server: *****

$ /usr/lib/courier-imap/libexec/imapd.rc start

This should get you going. To check,
 logon to port 143 and type a1 login [EMAIL PROTECTED]  password.

Raghu

Aie! You have a great misunderstanding of DNS. I'd recommend reading
http://www.lifewithdjbdns.org, it explains a _lot_ about DNS in general and
djbdns.

Too bad that Web Site seems to be written from People who are just installing
DJBdns and jump when it works but not for real Life Examples!
I recommend  http://www.acmebw.com/askmr.htm






I added the hostname of the email machine to locals and envnoathost and
restarted qmail-send, but the problem still exists.  To recap, I have the
following file entries:

root@dogbert:/var/qmail/control > cat defaultdomain
webscripting.net
root@dogbert:/var/qmail/control > cat envnoathost
dogbert.webscripting.net
root@dogbert:/var/qmail/control > cat locals
dogbert.webscripting.net
root@dogbert:/var/qmail/control > cat me
dogbert.webscripting.net
root@dogbert:/var/qmail/control > cat plusdomain
webscripting.net
root@dogbert:/var/qmail/control > cat rcpthosts
webscripting.net
root@dogbert:/var/qmail/control > cat virtualhosts
webscripting.net:webscripting-net

Also, I don't think it's an issue with user setup since I can authenticate
with the pop server fine.  It's just that it denies all mail for the virtual
domain with this message

"
Hi. This is the qmail-send program at dogbert.webscripting.net.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

I've noticed that, whenever an error occurs with
qmail, a specific number is attached in the maillog.
I'd like to be able to just go look those up and leave
you all alone, but I don't know where to do so. Could
you let me know?

Thanks,
Alex le Fevre

Errors with qmail? You mean errors in delivering messages, right?

As you haven't attached an example of what numbers you are referring to,
I assume you mean the "Enhanced Mail System Status Codes" as described
in RFC 1893.

Sounds like a DNS caching problem.  Since you're running BIND 8, you
should have dig (better than nslookup).  So next time it happens try:

dig hotmail.com any +norec

That will show you what is in BIND's cache for hotmail.com (the +norec
will make it a non-recursive query).

My guess is that your cache is getting confused somehow and is failing
to look up hotmail.com.  Why?  Well, since hotmail in their infinite
wis-dumb has put 30 minute TTLs on their in-zone NS records, I suspect
that has something to do with it....

You may want to consider moving to djbdns instead of BIND.  It probably
deals with this better.

Hi,

I don't know why the mail cannot delivery to the proper folders and the error "Sorry, 
no mailbox here by that name. vpopmail (#5.1.1)" appears in the returned email. Here 
is the configuration in my /var/qmail/rc. What else should I set to make this work. 

#!/bin/sh

# Using splogger to send the log through syslog.
# Using qmail-local to deliver messages to ~/Maildir by default.

exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \
qmail-start ./Maildir splogger qmail


Thank a lot!


Sang







I have a lot of processes by the name splogger qmail...
why so ...

There were some problems, especially with RAID and ENBD software.
 First, I try to figure out how ENBD works, in fact when the NBD server
is going down what are the possibilities for the NBD client to know that
and "make an announcement" to RAID software and the last to unbind
the partition from its configuration. Of course, after a carefully read
of ENBD docs, I was able to deal with this problem.
 One other problem (for me) was with linux kernel RAID support, because
you have to make a compromise between a small modularized kernel and
a "huge" speedy and reliable  one. I choose the last.

The throughput depends of the NIC's you are using and it is
not dramatically limited to much by the software (RAID and ENBD).
There are some compares between NFS and ENBD in the ENBD docs
and you could see how fast is ENBD (it is fast, if you can trust me).
What I can say is:
 - for reconstruction I am using 2 * 10BaseT NIC on each computer (3Com)
 - both computers are running 2.2.16 kernel optimized
 - one of those computers (the master) is PII-450MHz/64M RAM/IDE
and the other (the slave) is Pentium 100MHz/48M RAM/SCSI
 - the partition for qmail is 1GByte large (small site)

In the consideration above, a full reconstruction it takes ~20min
or less, depending the load of the master which also running NS.
I think a rate of 5Mbit/sec it could be OK. It can be raised in multi-processor
configuration, more RAM on each nodes, SCSI on both, 100BaseT or 1GByte ethernet
and same architecture.

It was my pleasure.

For the life of me, I can't figure out what I did.

I'm running qmail 1.03 on a RH 7 (kernel 2.2.17) system.  This is an
internal server providing DNS (internal and forwarding for external
resolution), mail and web services.  I'm running vpopmail 4.9.4.  Everything
seems to be working fine except sending from the mail server to an address
hosted on the mail server (local mail).  Incoming mail from the rest of the
Internet seems to work, mail from other servers internally seems to work,
again, just mail initiated locally is broken.

I'm also hosting other domains on this same system and they are behaving
similarly ... mail from outside works, mail initiated from the mail server
doesn't.

all the domains are listed in rcpthosts and virtual domains properly.  

Here's what I see in my bounced message (it gets bounced to root@localhost
and placed in an mbox)

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
553 5.3.5 mail.jahl.com. config error: mail loops back to me (MX problem?)
554 5.3.5 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Local configuration error

mail.jahl.com is my MX record ... here's a partial of my DNS:

kazon           IN      A       10.5.5.25
mail            IN      A       10.5.5.25
@               IN      MX  5   mail.jahl.com.
@               IN      NS      kazon.jahl.com.
@               IN      A       10.5.5.25

I can ping all address and names just fine.


Any ideas?  All I can find are references to this similar problem.  Near as
I can tell, the qmail equivalent solution would be to add the domain to
rcpthosts file.  It's already there.


Thanks for any input.

Charlie

I am currently figuring out myself how to do it and yesterday I found a nice
Patch on qmail.org so qmail-remote can used fixed IP.
So what I would do is patching qmail and giving it a dedicated IP. After doing
that I would install snmp + mrtg for this IP.
After doing that it should be really no Problem to see which Bandwidth qmail
is using!

I want to ascertain whether my client as the capability to read HTML mail.

Can I use Pine with qmail/sqwebmail? Apparently sqwebmail is dependent upon 
a maildir directory format and when I run Pine it sets up a regular mail 
directory (/var/mail/spool?)...Is there a config I'm missing somewhere?
