Now that's lame. That statement would only have relevance if 1.00 was a
current release and it's not even close. Drop it already.

Even BSD/OS, under which qmail including 1.03 was developed, 0.0.0.0
is the localhost. It is so on every other OS. You are describing
something that OpenBSD does different from the rest of the world.

Oh, I see. Yes, that's correct. There are all kinds of DOS
attacks against any public Internet service. The ones to worry about
are the ones that let a single user with a slow Internet connection
deny service to a large number of people. The ones that require being
singled out for destruction by large ISPs, there's nothing that can
really be done about.

Although the proposed fix, adding 0.0.0.0 to ipme, doesn't pose any
kind of compatibility problem.

Actually, Qmail works fine as an incoming MX for Hotmail.com.
mail.hotmail.com, one of Hotmail's incoming mx machines, runs Qmail. [1]
While not quite on the same scale as hotmail/AOL, egroups.com is not
exactly a low-traffice mail server. egroups has a single incoming mail
exchanger, which runs Qmail.
This is one of the reasons I like Qmail--it can scale up to just about any
level of mail traffic out there.

[1] Qmail's fingerprint is that it accepts the

Well , now i put "avatar.yi.org:alias-avatar" into virtualdomains file,
and made a: touch ~alias/.qmail-avatar-pluto
Into my locals file i've: cikosub.yi.org
but if i send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED]
it seems there's no difference between the two domains for the same user.

You don't have to use the scanning features of qmail-scanner; you can
disable the scanner features just by commenting out some calls to the
scanning functions. hell, you can write you own 20-30 lines of perl script
based on qmail-scanner, all you have to do is to read the message from
pipe 1 and the envelope from pipe 2, rewrite them and reinject into
qmail-queue, all of the code is there ... |

Hi,
this might seem like a stupid question but I really *did* bother quite a
while with the subject before asking here. Someone else asked me what
exactly the qmail license ist about. So I was looking for "the license".
I searched LWQ and google but everything I found is a statement about
limitaions for qmail-distributors and DJB's opinion about licenses.
Well, This does no have something to do with the qmail license, does it?
Is there a statement anywhere on the aouthors website that grants the
right to use qmail for any purpose as long as you just do not
redistribute it? Is there a statement that qmail can be used free of
charge? I did not fint a hint in "Running qmail" either (but there I
might have overseen it).
thanks for any explanation

Except that this has been discussed to death many times in the past on the
list. Look through the qmail list archives; you'll find everything you
need there.

perhaps it might be an idea to lose some words about this in the
qmail-FAQ or on the website to avoid people (as mine ;-) asking the same
question over and over again.

I did exactly this and I looked at the archive again for a long time
back. My Problem is this: DJB says as the first words in his statement
about Software user's rights:
In the United States, once you own a copy of a program......
2 Problems:
a) I am not within the United States and the *much *bigger problem is:
b) When Do I own a copy of a program? If I burn a CD of M$ Windows I own
the CD but this still does not grant the right to me to use the program
on it. The part I need is: Where is said, that if I download qmail from
DJB's website, I *DO OWN* the copy of qmail?
There are lots of examples where by just having the source of a pice of
software you do not own this software by any means. You can even receive
the software legally but you are just not allowed to use them e.g. for
commercial purpose.
So: Where is said that I own qmail as soon as I download it? This would
be necessary to apply DJBs statement to any existing situation.
thanks in advance

Good question... I suppose your rights would be determined by your
countries copyright law.
>and the *much *bigger problem is:

IANAL, but you own a copy of a program when you possess a legally
obtained copy. You don't have to hold the copyright to the original to
own a copy.
>There are lots of examples where by just having the source of a pice of

No, but you own the copy.

Only when the copyright holder distributes the software under a
license that restricts its use. qmail is not distributed with a
license.
>So: Where is said that I own qmail as soon as I download it?
You don't "own qmail", you own a copy of it.

Got a basic out of the box qmail install. Invoked via rc.local using
tcpserver. I compiled the amavis and installed. did my links as directed

Before I put the links in place qmail works great.
Using Maildir
As soon as I put the links in place I get this crap.

That's a message from scanmails, so I assume the following stuff is
cause by your anti-virus scanner which is called from scanmails. Which
anti virus product do you use?

Why is procmail called here? Which ./configure did you use for AMaViS

MDaemon has an option very similar to fetchmail's 'qvirtual' option
(for stripping prefixes off Delivered-To lines). It's in the
'DomainPOP Mail Collection' config box, tab 'Processing'. Bottom box
named 'Address Processing'. Tick first box ('Strip Text From Left')
and enter text to be stripped in the textbox.
Some of your customers may be interested in this. I now hacked my
forward-wrapper to fix up DTLINE without the prefix, because some of
our customers have severely broken mailers.
Greetz, Peter.
I am planning to use smtproutes to route email from a qmail server
to an internal Microsoft Exchange 5.5 server.
If the Exchange server goes down for a period of time, will the
qmail server cache (for lack of a better word) the routed emails
locally until the Exchange server comes back up? or will the
qmail server bounce the email back (after a given amount of time)?

It will keep retrying for upto a week (with growing intervals). After
that week, it will bounce the mail.
Read up on queuelifetime in man qmail-send to see how to increase that
period even more.

I knew I'd seen the requirements explicitly mentioned somewhere. Then
I had occasion to build qmail from scratch the other day and found it:
% cat conf-qmail
/var/qmail
This is the qmail home directory. It must be a local directory, not
shared among machines. This is where qmail queues all mail messages.
The queue (except for bounce message contents) is crashproof, if the
filesystem guarantees that single-byte writes are atomic and that
directory operations are synchronous. These guarantees are provided by
fixed-block filesystems such as UFS and by journaling filesystems. Under
Linux, make sure that all mail-handling filesystems are mounted with
synchronous metadata.
ie. semantics that local Unix filesystems are supposed to conform to
(but which Reiserfs apparently doesn't).
Does GFS? That's the question..

I believe there's a small patch to qmail somewhere on the ReiserFS site
which makes qmail as safe on that filesystem as on ext2 with synchronous
metadata.
A page with various tips:
http://www.jedi.claranet.fr/qmail-tuning.html
The actual qmail patch for ReiserFS:
http://www.jedi.claranet.fr/qmail-link-sync.patch
Russell, I don't think this is on qmail.org. Care to add it?

The patch info says :
Qmail was designed for BSD-like filesystems. And it is unreliable under
Linux because it assumes that link() is a synchronous operation. This is
not the case with EXT2 and ReiserFS. So you have to apply this patch to avoid losing messages due
system crashes
Is this really true, about EXT2 being unreliable as well ?

Not necessarily. ext2 doesn't sync the metadata of a file when the file is
synced; instead, it is synced when the directory it is in is synced.
So for safety, you either have to mount the filesystem with synchonous
metadata (as I said above), or have your program sync the directory of a file
after syncing the file. Bruce Guenter's SRPM of qmail includes a patch
which does the directory sync, so you don't have to mount the filesystem
with synchronous metadata for safety.

That's actually not a patch. It's a small object file that replaces the
libc open, link, rename, and unlink routines. The replacement routines
call the syscall as usual, but after making the call do a fsync on the
directory leading up to the given filename.

Bruce Guenter has a very useful patch to qmail which makes it take its various
UIDs and GIDs from the ownership of a set of files in /var/qmail/owners -- so
if you want to reassign UIDs by searching through the filesystem and
piping the results to chmod scripts, qmail will continue to work just
fine, providing of course that you stop qmail before doing this, and re-start
it after.
The patch is included in his SRPM.

He is the default which you get when you do a ./home/vpopmail/bin/vadddomain
somedomain.com
so .. the password you gave it there is the postmaster's password. Does
this look familiar? It is in the INSTALL document for the latest (at the
time I wrote this) version.
6. Add a virtual domain
For this example, we will add a domain "test.com"
# cd /home-dir-of-vpopmail/bin
# ./vadddomain test.com
or
# ./vadddomain test.com password-for-postmaster <-- YO CHECK ME OUT
vadddomain will modify the following qmail files
(default locations used)
/var/qmail/control/locals
/var/qmail/control/rcpthosts
/var/qmail/control/morercpthosts (if rcpthosts > than 50 lines)
/var/qmail/control/virtualdomains
/var/qmail/users/assign
/var/qmail/users/cdb
It will also create a domains directory
~vpopmail/domains/test.com
~vpopmail/domains/test.com/postmaster/Maildir ...
~vpopmail/domains/test.com/vpasswd
~vpopmail/domains/test.com/vpasswd.cdb
If you do not specify a password on the command line, it
will prompt for a password for the postmaster.
Then it will send a kill -HUP signal to qmail-send telling it
to re-read the control files.
Note: setting up DNS MX records for the virtual domain is not
covered in this INSTALL file.

I use qmailadmin and I think the name fits, and it runs very well now that
all of those annoying images are gone : ) I do wish the mailing list
manager would get fixed sometime soon however. I am going to have to take a
programming class one of these days.

0.42 works like a charm. Besides, qmailadmin has its own mailing list.

Hi,
how does i reach, so that qmail will send mail to different users
in the same domain as bundle?
e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]
with one connection, so that only one mail must be send over the net
with the information to the smtp server, that this mail is for more
user.
the background is:
I've a mailing list server, and we pay for traffic.
On the server ist installed qmail, vpopmail and ezmlm.
any ideas?

You don't. qmail was designed not to do this. You could do major surgery
on the source, or use another MTA.

When I try to relay mail to a remote host I get the error message
"sorry that domain isn't in my list of allowed hosts in the rcpthosts file"
This is when I try to relay from 192.168.1.147

I have have the host in rcpthosts it will even relay it remotely

Not true at all. 192 is where class C addresses start. Once upon a time,
they were all in 192.

If your subnet doesn't split on an octet boundary, list all the IPs
individually. It all gets compiled into an efficient CDB anyway.
You only have to do this once; a four-line shellscript would make it
quick work.

<pedantic>
Please read up on IPv4 classes. Classes are not determined by the size
of
the network address. 192.x.x.x is a class B address. 63.x.x.x (that you
mentioned in a part I snipped) is a class A address. They may hand these
out in /24 sizes, but the class remains the same. Also, non-routable is
a misnomer. Nothing prevents misconfigured routers from routing the
true private networks (10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, and 192.168.0.0/16)
to anywhere in the world, and many routers do.
</pedantic>
Now that that's over, no, 192.0.0.0/8 is _not_ a private network. To
prove this to yourself, traceroute f.root-servers.net, or just do
a 'dig' (or dnsqr ) on it:
;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
a.root-servers.net. 5w6d16h IN A 198.41.0.4
f.root-servers.net. 5w6d16h IN A 192.5.5.241
j.root-servers.net. 5w6d16h IN A 198.41.0.10
k.root-servers.net. 5w6d16h IN A 193.0.14.129

Ok all understood, but that doesn't solve the main problem. I'm trying to
relay from one of the host that are under that relay umbrella and it won't
let me. For some reason it looks like the variable isn't being set.
btw what is a good class address scheme that I can use for internal use and
won't route on the internet. I think 10.* is one are there any others.
Miles
Ok I got it working. I read another Howto and it said to load the tcp.smtp
with
/usr/local/sbin/qmail cdb
now the other one that I was using was
tcprules /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb /etc/tcp.smtp.tmp < /etc/tcp.smtp
Which for some reason wasn't working. In any event now everything works
just like I want it to. I just have to learn about IPV4 some more. Anyone
have some good references since I'm not understanding a whole lot about it.

Yes, it's as simple as that (only you have to put it in two places -
the read loop of the message and the envelope header). Right now I am in

qmail _always_ logs. You're just looking in the wrong logfiles. Look again,
based on your setup.

Hey all,
I have a really annoying spammer on my hands and just wonder if it is
possible to use wildcards in badmailfrom? Originally I added
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
to badmailfrom and that blocked it for about a month. Then he got
halfway smart and changed his sender address to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
for which I added
@tpts6.seed.net.tw
to badmailfrom. This however, only worked for a few minutes as he is
apparently starting to create random names for mail hosts. Here is a
list that I have collected so far
@tpts4.seed.net.tw
@mx.seed.net.tw
@ara.seed.net.tw
@tpts6.seed.net.tw
@sky.seed.net.tw
@iris.seed.net.tw
@giga.net.tw
@party.seed.net.tw
@ksmail.seed.net.tw
@saturn.seed.net.tw
@tpts7.seed.net.tw
Now, my question is, would it be possible to block as in
@*.seed.net.tw
Thanks. I guess I could always try it to see what it does but I would
rather know before hand---the man page doesn't mention anything about
wildcards.

Someone posted a patch to do this some time ago. You could search the
qmail list archives for it, or look at qmail.org for a pointer. I think
it was called 'badrcptpatterns' or something similar.

Yes, thanks to another poster I found the wildmat program/patch that
will add this into it. I seached for ``wildcard'' instead of ``regex''
on qmail.org which is why I didn't see it the first time...

Hi;
Is it possible to route incoming mails to different
machines for example
if a user name start with a to c abc.foo.org will
handle it or if a user name start with d to g
defg.foo.org will handle that..
I think it must be possible.And all machines must be
aware of that configuration to handle right email.Of
course there is another problem grows how will end
user
know which machine is right machine to send mail and
RECEIVE(via pop3)
any comments?

The msg at the end of this email is a forward of the failure notice from
qmail.
Also, I am including my configs and other info below:
"aquinas.pp.asu.edu" is the host's real name, and "hdshc.asu.edu" is an alias
for this host.
All mailing lists are in the form "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" (virtual
domain) -- but seems to get reformatted to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]",
which is annoying but workable; This system used to work until I screwed
something up in the config files :(
I would greatly appreciate any help on this. I have been fighting this for a
day now and need to get the lists back up.

I know the problem is probably simple, but I can't see it. It has deffinately

Again, any assistance on this would be greatly appreciated.

This is because of
hdshc.asu.edu. IN CNAME aquinas.pp.asu.edu.
hdshc.asu.edu will be rewritten to aquinas.pp.asu.edu by mailservers
as a CNAME says kinda "this host does not exist and is really called
aquinas.pp.asu.edu".

A host may not be in locals and virtualdomains at the same time
(i.e. it may, but locals takes precedence to virtualdomains).
Another problem might be that if the ezmlm mailinglist is configured
to be [EMAIL PROTECTED] it will not accept beeing called
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
The easiest way to fix your problem is probably to change
hdshc.asu.edu. IN CNAME aquinas.pp.asu.edu.
to
hdshc.asu.edu. IN A 129.219.125.101

Remove the CNAME record and make it an A or an MX record. That's what's causing
the rewriting of the host name.

You have aquinas.pp.asu.edu in both locals and virtualdomains. Having a domain
in both files is always a mistake. To fix your problem, get rid of the CNAME,
and add hdshc.asu.edu to virtualdomains and remove it from locals.

I have had emails that took literally a month to get delivered. It was
nice that Qmail kept the message in the queue that long, since the message
would have not been delivered to him if I was using a MTA that gives up
after five days.
The problem with "there is a delay in delivering the message"-type mails
is that the average user never takes the time to read those messages, and
thinks that they mean that the mail has bounced.

No, the problem is that while they may be helpful if sent by a server
under your control (where you can delete the message if you like)
they are a nightmare if sent by remote systems where you have no chance
to control them.
As I said before, if you will get one every hour for a whole week
(and then the message was bounced with a undelivery notice) you will
surely start to hate this "feature".

Hi,
How i can personalise the failure notice and add

Lost? You mean someone deleted them or the disk got trashed, right?
The usual thing is to get it off of your backup. Does this not work
for you?
If you're asking for a magic way to get a file back that has been
deleted/trashed and which you have no backup, then you're out of
luck. This is not a qmail problem though, this is a system management
problem.
Regards.
THX, I do recover it.
I means that:
I build a server support abt 100 virtual domains, with vpopmail of course.
last morning, i add another two virtual domains, and somewhat is wrong,
unfortunately lost
that CDB file, but all users' DIR is there and virtual domain also stand
there.
rebuild the ASCII file $PATHqmail/users/assign
and run $qmailbin/qmail-newu
thx Live With qmail
thx Mark Delany also

Have you checked your tcpserver logs to see what it thinks is going on? If
there is no record of your attempt to connect, it means it is not listening
on port 25. Otherwise it may tell you why you are being refused. Just in
case--did you re/compile the rules file? You could also use tcprulescheck to
test the rules file.

OK, I lied, qmail is logging -- I just wasn't clueful enough to figure out
where. But now I have! (Thanks James and Charles.) But it didn't help.
/var/log/qmail/smtpd/current shows the following:
@400000003a71e0a43872189c tcpserver: fatal: unable to figure out port
number for smtp
... repeat ad nauseam
OK, fair enough... how do I open the port? Or point tcpserver to
it? Ack! Lack of unix training coming back to bite me in the butt!

Looks like you're calling tcpserver with a port argument of "smtp". You
have two options: either use a port argument of "25" instead (a number
instead of a name), or define a port number for smtp in /etc/services or
similar file.

Hmm -- but smtp is assigned a port number (25) in /etc/services...
When and where is tcpserver called? I'll try passing it an explicit port
argument...

That depends. If you followed the "Life with qmail" way of doing things,
tcpserver is called from /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run. At any rate,
qmail should be fired up during the machine's boot sequence, so the call to
tcpserver, or at least the script it's hiding in, should be somewhere in
your start-up scripts.

Did you read or skim? :)
That page says what to do when you see this problem with fetchmail: make
sure you are using the forcecr option when fetching.

Which part didn't you understand? You're injecting mail with bare linefeeds.
That's a no-no. Don't do it.
> i'm using, fetchmail to retrieve my mail.
Then fetchmail is broken. Use something else. I wrote getmail because of
issues like this. You can find it from the link below, and best of all,
it doesn't even do delivery by SMTP re-injection.

I wouldn't say fetchmail is broken. The bare LFs weren't inserted by
fetchmail, they're being passed on unchanged from the original source.
Alternatively, fetchmail provides an option, forcecr, that will make sure
every line ends with a CRLF. http://cr.yp.to/docs/smtplf.html covers this.

I like that feature. At any rate, fetchmail also offers delivery straight
to an MDA.

Russ,
Find attached a quick script I hacked up to use with Bruce Guenter's
QMAILQUEUE patch. I have it installed on my system as
/var/qmail/libexec/qqrbl and run it via
':allow,QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/libexec/qqrbl"' in my tcpserver config
file.
Uses the Mail::RBL module (note that Mail::RBL thinks it requires a
really recent version of Perl, but if you change the 'our $VERSION'
variable to 'use vars qw($VERSION)' and get rid of the 'use
warnings.pm', it runs just fine under 5.005_03.
Real simple script, basically, it groks the IP's out of every
Received: line and runs them through all three RBL's at mail-abuse.org
(easy enough to edit the script to change that) and adds an 'X-RBL:'
header for every match, making filtering down the line easier.
I considered just using a simple bourne shell script with Bruce's
qmail-qfilter and rblcheck, but this seems more elegant. :)
Please post on qmail.org as you see fit.
Thanks.

Russ,
Find attached a quick script I hacked up to use with Bruce Guenter's
QMAILQUEUE patch. I have it installed on my system as
/var/qmail/libexec/qqrbl and run it via
':allow,QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/libexec/qqrbl"' in my tcpserver config
file.
Uses the Mail::RBL module (note that Mail::RBL thinks it requires a
really recent version of Perl, but if you change the 'our $VERSION'
variable to 'use vars qw($VERSION)' and get rid of the 'use
warnings.pm', it runs just fine under 5.005_03.
Real simple script, basically, it groks the IP's out of every
Received: line and runs them through all three RBL's at mail-abuse.org
(easy enough to edit the script to change that) and adds an 'X-RBL:'
header for every match, making filtering down the line easier.
I considered just using a simple bourne shell script with Bruce's
qmail-qfilter and rblcheck, but this seems more elegant. :)
Please post on qmail.org as you see fit.
Thanks.
j.

Look at the documentation for tcpserver, which is part of the ucspi-tcp
package. http://cr.yp.to has a link to the ucspi-tcp documentation.

How about, if the first delivery fails, pass it off to a server with
some disks. Why not pre-process with qmail-remote before queueing?

qmail-remote is way too late as most of the I/O load is putting the
mail in the queue, not getting it off. Besides, the symptom isn't
delivery failure, it's slowness.
Regards.

Actually. I was little hasty on the first point. I now see what you're
getting at. One question is, how far do you let qmail-remote go before
deciding it will work. It it's past the MAIL FROM/RCPT TO part, then
why not complete the delivery rather than incur the double load and
double latency?
If you mean to try and completely do the remote delivery prior to
placing it in the queue, then this is the passthru idea that people
have suggest previously. It potentially has merit with an amount of
added complexity.
One problem is that a busy system, such as a mailing list system may
be at full concurrencyremote for extended periods of time, in which
case, new submissions should not attempt qmail-remote delivery so
you're back to square one.
Another problem is that the mail has to be stored somewhere while
qmail-remote attempts delivery. Well, unless you want the submitting
client to wait - that may create a lot of confusing latency for, eg,
people sitting on a PC using Eudora. If the mail is stored somewhere,
you're starting to get back to a disk queue.
But it's not necessarily a silly idea. I believe that sendmail tries
to do something like this in certain circumstances. A monolithic
design has an advantage in this regard. Doing this is a nice
compartmentalized way with the current qmail wouldn't be a lot of fun.
Regards.
Suppose my concurrencylocal and concurrencyremote will never be
greater than, say, 50. Is there then any penalty in setting
conf-spawn to 100? More to the point, is there any reason not to set
conf-spawn to the largest value possible, other than portability?

HI
I have applied Russ Nelsons Big TO DO Patch and Big
concurency patch
Is this enough for qmail to handle a large number
of simultaneous deliveries or I need to specify it in qmail-control
Please explain me as I have just started with
Qmail.
also i see that Dave Smith of Xoom.com has updated
the Big-to-do patch... Is the updated one recommended or the original is good
enough.
Regards
Sumith
