You could put qmail on the firewall host with qmail-qmqpc (check the mini-qmail docs) so that no outside box talks to your internal mailserver directly. Local queueing+smtproutes works too, ofcourse. Whether this is needed for a qmail box itself is not a question - when creating a secure system, you ignore that any specific bit is secure and still secure everything around it. > *although as I type this I'm guessing that POP3 would still need to go > through to the internal server due to the user's home directories being on > there Yes, pop3 is not that easily fixed.

Hello, i am having trouble with qmail and the spamcontrol patch. i am using qmail with vpopmail and the spamcontol patch. I have a tcp.smtp file to allow clients to relay mail, and i have a roaming users system set up. Now what i want to do is to only allow deliveries to existing users on the system. Therefore i added "*@*" to badrcptpatterns and a list of all account with a "!" in front of it. ->> Now every mail not in this list is rejected, and no system can relay mails. Whats wrong ? Here is how i start qmail: /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -x /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -v -u 71 -g 104 smtp /usr/local/bin/rblsmtpd -rblackholes.mail-abuse.org /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1 | /var/qmail/bin/splogger smtpd 2 & If you can please help me out...

It is wellknown that postfix does not support ezmlm (extension addresses). Vietse has made several remarks why he would not consider implementing it. I had fun reading back then Vietse's comments on how ezmlm sucks---on an archive server hosted by ezmlm, and which was listed first on the postfix home page. Of course, there could always be a secret patch nowadays. Mate
Hello, 1- I'm using Qmail following LWQ of Dave Sill with a Relay in DMZ + Server in LAN. I want now to tell Relay machine to send mails of certains users to any machine lying anwhere (in DMZ, LAN or Internet), instead to sending them always to my LAN-server. How I can do this? Is this needs to install Qmail, create new user's account on machines? 2- Sendmail demon was installed by default on all my machines, it allowing me before to send mails for root or user ( logs, alert, etc...). I deinstallating it, but as a result mail can't be sent now. What to do in order to allow machines in DMZ or LAN where Qmail is not installed to just sent messages like alert, logs, etc. to root account or any other user? I'm heared about a qmail-client, or a particular installation of sendmail which allow us to do this. Can you give helps, url, ...? Is maintaining sendmail demon on my machines can compromise security? PS: I lincked sendmail to qmail as indicated in LWQ on both my relay and server. Thanks
Hi boys have got a problem... well... if i active the option "leave a copy of messages on server " on my email client, the messages doesn't leave on my server :o(( have you got some solution ? many thanks Roberto

Both the client and the server are doing exactly what they are told. The options: 1. Realize that this is what you wanted. 2. Turn off this client option. -- Greg White

It does exactly what you tell it to. What is the problem? Please state what you expected the computer to do, and what it did instead. Also, next time you have a question, please start a new thread. Look in the archives for more info about how to do this. Greetz, Peter.
I've experienced several problems regarding this and similar issues. When I checked my email from home using MS Outlook, the messages would clear no matter what the Outlook settings where. Also, checking email using Yahoo's other POP function would re-read messages, instead of only reading it once. When a message is read but not cleared, qmail moves the message from the Maildir/new directory to Maildir/cur directory and appends ":2," to the end of the message. >From what information I could find regarding this problem, it all boils down to the client email application and its POP functionality, not qmail. To fix my Outlook problem, I erased the appropriate Outlook email accounts from the registry and then recreated it in Outlook. Not exactly sure why, but this solved the problem. Outlook's account registry location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Office/Outlook/OMI Account Manager/Accounts/XXXXXXXX Where XXXXXXXX is the appropriate number for the email account connecting with Qmail. -----Original Message----- From: Roberto Marzialetti [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, May 21, 2001 9:39 AM To: Qmail List Subject: leave a copy of messages on server Hi boys have got a problem... well... if i active the option "leave a copy of messages on server " on my email client, the messages doesn't leave on my server :o(( have you got some solution ? many thanks Roberto

What is the problem? On second thought, your English is so abominable we probably misread you. Please retry in legible English. Greetz, Peter.
FWIW, this is a tactic I have recommended on many occasions when an Outlook or Outlook Express user reports seemingly inexplicable behavior. It repairs such problems remarkably often.

Mmmmhhhh... strange. A normal pop3 session is like ... stat retr #num dele #num and if you set "leave a copy..." the dele action is never done.

I have about 6 qmail servers up and running in different parts of California. For the most part life has been pretty easy with them. I have 3 machines giving me a headache currently and was hoping for some help. (I know 50% is a failing number)#1) A local machine running RH Linux and qmail 1.03. It had been running great for the last 9 months. I recently had an IP change on the machine as I switched DSL providers. I made sure all of the control files got changed and the new tcp rules added. However, it appears to not want to pop mail with out a long delay. My windows clients need to keep hitting wait. It eventually works, but it is very frustrating, considering it worked fine before the IP change. My guess is it relates to DNS. Am I on the right track, or has anyone else seen this? Is there a way I can fix it without long phone calls to my provider educating them on DNS and stuff :) #2) Is rather similar. Was built in house (RH Linux and qmail 1.03)and then sent out. Worked fine here, however in the clients location they get constant timeouts on SMTP and need to keep hitting wait as well. I am using the -R in the tcpserver startup so that it won't try to resolve the local IPs, but it is still happening. #3) Similar still. A large mail server I just built using Matt's BSD-qmail toaster setup. In house worked fantastic. Bring it in the field for a small ISP, and even trying to do a localhost port 25 connection is taking sometimes 10 minutes!?! All of these problems seem related and it is probably something really simple that is driving me crazy. If anyone has input on what I'm doing wrong I'd really appreciate it.

Are you compiling as non-root? If you're the root user, it won't compile.

I have a need to set up a file like badmailfrom that filters for recipients in incoming emails. I have tried qtools but cannot find the right combo. What I have is a file with a bunch of email addresses in it that are all known bad to addresses. Some come in as To, some as CC and some as BCC. I can't block the user portion only (.qmail-address) as some are reused for other domains on our site ([EMAIL PROTECTED] is bad but [EMAIL PROTECTED] is not). Has anyone out there come up with a good solution for this? Thanks, Brian Moon ------------------------------------------ dealnews.com, Inc.

in an attempt to get easy aliases like sendmail [couldn't figure out why qmail-newu didn't like my line in users/assign, it looked exactly like the example], i install fastforward. not only did it not work, it made my normal address not work too. so i got rid of /etc/aliases, /etc/aliases.cdb, and ~aliases/.qmail-default, restarted qmail, and it still doesn't work. log tells me this: May 21 20:54:10 entity qmail: 990496450.105561 new msg 182273 May 21 20:54:10 entity qmail: 990496450.106585 info msg 182273: bytes 462 from <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> qp 15167 uid 0 May 21 20:54:10 entity qmail: 990496450.170854 starting delivery 1: msg 182273 to local [EMAIL PROTECTED] May 21 20:54:10 entity qmail: 990496450.172489 status: local 1/10 remote 0/20 May 21 20:54:10 entity qmail: 990496450.271625 new msg 182274 May 21 20:54:10 entity qmail: 990496450.272516 info msg 182274: bytes 576 from <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> qp 18610 uid 1000 May 21 20:54:10 entity qmail: 990496450.322929 starting delivery 2: msg 182274 to local [EMAIL PROTECTED] May 21 20:54:10 entity qmail: 990496450.324222 status: local 2/10 remote 0/20 May 21 20:54:10 entity qmail: 990496450.326104 delivery 1: success: did_0+1+0/qp_18610/ May 21 20:54:10 entity qmail: 990496450.342453 status: local 1/10 remote 0/20 May 21 20:54:10 entity qmail: 990496450.343642 end msg 182273 May 21 20:54:10 entity qmail: 990496450.360428 delivery 2: failure: This_message_is_looping:_it_already_has_my_Delivered-To_line._(#5.4.6)/ May 21 20:54:10 entity qmail: 990496450.400446 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20 May 21 20:54:10 entity qmail: 990496450.483436 bounce msg 182274 qp 264 May 21 20:54:10 entity qmail: 990496450.490231 end msg 182274 May 21 20:54:10 entity qmail: 990496450.530677 new msg 182273 May 21 20:54:10 entity qmail: 990496450.531397 info msg 182273: bytes 1175 from <> qp 264 uid 1010 May 21 20:54:10 entity qmail: 990496450.587452 starting delivery 3: msg 182273 to local [EMAIL PROTECTED] May 21 20:54:10 entity qmail: 990496450.588746 status: local 1/10 remote 0/20 May 21 20:54:10 entity qmail: 990496450.709114 new msg 182274 May 21 20:54:10 entity qmail: 990496450.710056 info msg 182274: bytes 1284 from <> qp 8597 uid 1004 May 21 20:54:10 entity qmail: 990496450.756453 starting delivery 4: msg 182274 to local [EMAIL PROTECTED] May 21 20:54:10 entity qmail: 990496450.757716 status: local 2/10 remote 0/20 May 21 20:54:10 entity qmail: 990496450.759060 delivery 3: success: did_0+1+0/qp_8597/ May 21 20:54:10 entity qmail: 990496450.781964 status: local 1/10 remote 0/20 May 21 20:54:10 entity qmail: 990496450.783217 end msg 182273 May 21 20:54:10 entity qmail: 990496450.888794 new msg 182275 May 21 20:54:10 entity qmail: 990496450.889630 info msg 182275: bytes 1398 from <> qp 23310 uid 1000 it goes on to starting delivery 8, and gives up. any idea what's going on? -- =----------------------------------------------= -.c.- My mistress when she walks treads on the ground.

I did it myself just a short time ago. Mind you I did not have the number of virtual domains you do. Nor did I have many users, so I took the easy approach ... Start from scratch... However, that is obviously not the best advice for you. What I would suggest is to pick up the book by Richard Blum called Running qmail. It's published by Sams, and should be readily available at most reputable bookstores. There is an entire section of the book dedicated soley to migrating from Sendmail. And it explains how to convert your existing aliases file and virtusertable file so you can use them with qmail. I think you'll find it very useful... It will still take sometime on your part to get the files converted, but it will be quicker tham creating them from scratch, and you won't be sorry you switched to qmail.

Todd, this would do just as well (or better) on the ezmlm list, since a couple of the possible solutions use ezmlm-* rather than qmail-queue. * Todd Finney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [010521 23:12]: > >Before I go into detail about the problem I'm having, I'll describe > >what I'm trying to do, to make sure that I'm even on the right track. > > > >We host a number of lists running under ezmlm-idx.

So, I'm attempting to do it with qmail-queue. Eek, why not invoke ezmlm-send for each list? `man ezmlm-send` No need to mess with qmail-queue, I don't think. > >I created my message file, message.txt, and my envelope file > >envelope.txt. AFAIK, they're in the correct format. If you are asking for help, it would probably be best if you were complete in your setup. Don't assume something is in the right format: prove it by posting it. (Or put it up on the web and link to it.) This may or may not actually help in this scenario, but you are *asking* to get reamed by any number of people for mentioning the files but refusing to post them.

Like: open \*STDIN, "<&MSG"; open \*STDOUT, ">&ENV"; Ah yes, looking at `man perlopentut` would seem to indicate that format is right. Anyway, it seems to be a lot of overkill. Just iterate over your lists and invoke ezmlm-send for each one. Done.

I thought about that, but it isn't really an ezmlm question anymore. There doesn't seem to be an example on using qmail-queue anywhere. It seems to me that there probably should be. >* Todd Finney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [010521 23:12]: > > >We host a number of lists running under ezmlm-idx.

Yea, that sounds nice, but there isn't an example of using that outside of a .qmail file, either. I'd think that tfinney]$ cat ./list_monthly_announcement.txt | /usr/local/bin/ezmlm/ezmlm-send /home/list/test/ would work, but no dice. Anyway, that _is_ an ezmlm problem, and isn't our problem here. > > >I created my message file, message.txt, and my envelope file > > >envelope.txt.

FYI. I didn't refuse to post anything. :) Please don't say that I did. I didn't include the envelope file because it seemed secondary to the problem. If I can't figure out how to get qmail-queue to take input, what difference would it make what I'm feeding it? I tried three different formats. I believe the first is correct, but I saw a few mentioning of the other two, and tried them. I saw no difference in running the script with any of them.

If I figure this out, I'll post an example to the list, so that we don't have to have this conversation again. cheers, Todd

The handling is exclusive by sending mails to different adresses. For subscribing you send only a blanko-email to list-subscribe@listserver. Regards, Ruprecht
Hello, 1- I'm using Qmail following LWQ of Dave Sill with a Relay in DMZ + Server in LAN. I want now to tell Relay machine to send mails of certains users to any machine lying anwhere (in DMZ, LAN or Internet), instead to sending them always to my LAN-server. How I can do this? Is this needs to install Qmail, create new user's account on machines? 2- Sendmail demon was installed by default on all my machines, it allowing me before to send mails for root or user ( logs, alert, etc...). I deinstallating it, but as a result mail can't be sent now. What to do in order to allow machines in DMZ or LAN where Qmail is not installed to just sent messages like alert, logs, etc. to root account or any other user? I'm heared about a qmail-client, or a particular installation of sendmail which allow us to do this. Can you give helps, url, ...? Is maintaining sendmail demon on my machines can compromise security? PS: I lincked sendmail to qmail as indicated in LWQ on both my relay and server. Thanks

A good way is to use virtual domains.

Much programs are looking for sendmail and you have to place the link on the old place of sendmail. >What to do in order to allow machines in DMZ or LAN where Qmail is >not installed to just sent messages like alert, logs, etc. to root >account or any other user? On the DMZ i prefere to install qmail because of security. On the hosts in the dmz there should be disabled all services that are not needed. Think about good rules for the firewall. In ipchains you have three chains the input chain, the forward chain and the outputchain. You can build rules such good-bad, dmz-bad, dmz-good,... >I'm heared about a qmail-client, or a particular installation of >sendmail http://www.sendmail.org or you are looking in a searchengine for postfix or exim.

Ok, so I got the badrcptto patch working. It doesn't look like it will do partial addresses. You know how badmailfrom will let you just put in @domain.com. I was hoping that this patch might let you put in user@ and reject all mail for that user regardless of domain. I don't really follow the C code well, so I don't see how to do this. Any ideas?

Ok, I am looking really hard at the code here. It looks like the @ magic of badmailfrom is somewhere in here which was copied directly for badrcpto: j = byte_rchr(addr.s,addr.len,'@'); if (j < addr.len) if (constmap(&mapbrt,addr.s + j,addr.len - j - 1)) return 1; I am still not sure exactly what this is saying though. I know in psuedo code terms, but I can not figure out how to change it to make it work at matching user@. Any ideas?
