That should be test-subscribe, as someone else said.

You ran ezmlm-sub as root; that breaks things. To fix:
chown -R popuser:popuser /var/qmail/popboxes/whateverdomain.com/test
In the future, if you use ezmlm-(un)sub, run them as popuser, not root
or any other user.
I think ezmlm-(un)sub ought to print an error and die if it's not
running as the owner of the list. That would prevent problems of this
sort.

Why not just:

?

Why would you want to do that? I fear that you are trying to put all
domains you want to send mail to into control/rcpthost? You should be
using the RELAYCLIENT="" environment variable, from tcpserver or inetd.
Have you read the documentation?

I've read not everything and as usual the docs are a lot indeed!
When try to reply and the domain is not into ../rcpthost I get an error.
I start my qmail from inetd using the line:
smtp stream tcp nowait qmaild /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env tcp-env
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
Sorry for misunderstanding!

You can't do anything about those headers. They are a result of your
ISP's brain-damage. Tell them that they should have reverse DNS
records for all of their IP addresses.

Look at the file "FAQ" in qmail-1.03.tar.gz. In it, you'll find a
section numbered "5.4". Follow the instructiions.

Because it's the wrong thing to do (as it turns out). He's turning
his server into an open relay, in bits and pieces. I'll bet that you
can already use it to relay to AOL.COM, for example.

Why? It's totally unnecessary when modifying rcpthosts.

Hi.
I am using tai64nfrac to feed my qmail-logs into matchup.
Is there also a small utility to convert the timestamps from matchup back
into a human-readable format?

Like, for instance:
# echo "@400000003ac8925a06b75e34" | tai64nlocal
2001-04-02 15:53:04.112680500
# echo "@400000003ac8925a06b75e34" | tai64nfrac

# echo "986221654.952383500" | ./tailocal

And where can I find this tailocal? I just have tai64nlocal. Is it part of a previous
version of ucspi-tcp?
BTW: The input format is something like
d d 986225876.348359500 986225876.369300500 986225876.381710500 bla bla bla

Hi all,
is it possible that qmail builds up a connection not to the first MX record
but to the second or third instead?
How to do it?

It's possible. qmail will try the various records in order of MX distance
until it gets a response.
> How to do it?
It's automatic. If you want to override this, you can use smtproutes -- see
the qmail documentation for details.

This has nothing to do with qmail; it's a general Unix system administration

Yes. qmail records the envelope recipient address (if it's a local domain)
or a variant of it (if it's a virtual domain, or handled by an ~alias/.qmail-*
file) in the Delivered-To: header.

Hello,
I have RedHat 6.0 and RedHat6.2. There is
qmail-1.03; vpopmail and sqwebmail installed as major
sotwares for mail.
I tried to create dot-qmail for the virtual users
inside of the vpopmail folders so any new income mail
for that user, it will send an SMS or a email to
another address to notify the new message (which will
contain who is sending and the subject).
I found some scripts in the mailing list and tried
a simple one just to test:
"| egrep -e '^From:|Subject:' | Mail -s YouGotMail
[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
But the time that I put this in the .qmail and the
user received one new message, it started to send
thousands of email to without stoping until I removed
dot-qmail.
I tried other scripts that I found in the mailing
list and the same behaviour happened again. I read the
documentation of qmail and the mailing list but I
still cannot find where I am missing.
Please any help will be very appreciated.
TIA

Qmail is not very robust when it comes to dealing with errors or unexpected
conditions in .qmail files. The most common response by qmail in such a
situation is to get into an infinite delivery loop. That being said, if I
recall correctly, there is particular behavior of qmail's delivery system
that is effected by the return status of piped programs. I don't recall what
these are, but it could be that a status of 0 (what would be returned by
your command line) may not be the status desired. Another issue could be
that I recall some issues with using piped commands with vpopmail. Since it
is actually vpopmail that handles the final delivery step (you can see this
in the .qmail-default file of your virtual domain directory), it could be
vpopmail that is returning an unexpected result to qmail and causing it to
attempt redelivery. I believe it is qmail-local that handles local
deliveries for qmail--have you read over its docs?

What do you base this on? The experience of the rest of the members of the
list would tend to show that this is simply incorrect.

A .qmail file won't cause this in general; it normally takes an incorrect
smtproutes setting to cause a mail loop. Of course, deliveries to commands
can cause all sorts of problems, if the script/command you are delivering to
is buggy.

Hello,
I am not using any smtproutes. I tested many
commands in the scripts and all of them is giving the
same results.
The most simple command that I did :
"| cat >
/home/vpopmail/domains/wisecom.ar.mail.ma/amina/filename"
And the result was like that:
Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Received: (qmail 13266 invoked by uid 511); 2 Apr 2001

In retrospect, it could be true that the issue is with vpopmail, since my
experiences are based only on both, but only if vpopmail is explicitly
reinjecting the email. If it is instead returning a status that does not
indicate to qmail to stop attempting delivery or whatever, qmail should get
the clue that delivery isn't going to happen after some number of failures
(and that shouldn't be thousands). But since I can't say for sure what is
happening, I will have to withdraw my comment for the moment.

Who is uid 511? If it is the vpopmail user, then vpopmail is perpetually
reinjecting the email. If it is a qmail user, then it is qmail. I believe
that I recall a problem with vpopmail that it could not handle pipes.
Perhaps this is the problem. To remedy this, you would move your command to
the top level where the .qmail-default is, and use the .qmail-user format,
but you will probably have to include the vpopomail invocations found in
.qmail-default to ensure mail delivery, but you can test that. Also, be sure
that your command line returns a status of 0, which you should force whether
the command line works or not. Better yet, call a shell script.

Since OBSD doesn't seem to want to let me have user
names over 8 characters, I'd like to set up an alias
to a user account to solve the problem. My impression
was that I could just do the following:
1) create /home/alias/.qmail-thealiasname, containing
/home/username/Maildir
2) chown that file to alias:qmail
3) create the user's Maildir, making sure it's owned
by the user
4) Go!
I don't have the domain in virtualdomains, as it's in
locals (in fact, it's the primary domain for the
machine). I didn't figure this to be a problem, as
.qmail-postmaster, .qmail-root, etc., work with that
domain just fine.
What happens, though, is that qmail tries to make the
delivery, and gives me that nasty "unable to chdir to
Maildir (4.2.1)" error. I assume it's trying to access
the user Maildir as the user specified by
.qmail-thealiasname, which obviously isn't right.
How can I tell it to go in as the user? Alternately,
is there another way to implement this? All I really
care about is getting a 9+ character e-mail address
set up, I'm not finnicky on how I do it.
Thanks,
Alex Le Fevre

Not quite; that will try to deliver to an mbox file named "Maildir" in
username's homedir, but as user alias.
Chances are that you want that .qmail file to contain "&username" instead,
which will forward the mail from the long name to the short username.
Then, that user's .qmail file (or the system default delivery specification)
will control the final delivery.

As the file ~alias/.qmail-theuser is owned by alias (and should be) it
should contain &usr@me ie the "short" username and one of the local
domains so that qmail forwards and doesn't attempt to deliver as the alias
user.

That works nicely. I just have one question: is there any good way to
control the user's reply-to and from addresses via Qmail? It's showing up as
[EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of [EMAIL PROTECTED] That's just minor
cosmetics, though.

There are various half-baked solutions, but the ideal way is to set it
at the user's end -- either by specifically setting their MUA to create
the right From: header and envelope sender address in the first place,
or by setting the QMAILUSER/QMAILHOST (or MAILUSER/MAILHOST) environment
variables before they run anything leading to qmail-inject. Ideally,
just set them in their shell profile/login and be done with it.

Use an mbox-to-Maildir converter, and script doing the conversion for all
of your users. I believe there are pointers to various converters on the
www.qmail.org site.

One of the following is true:
-the queue disk is full
-the queue disk is out of inodes
-the ownership/permissions of the queue structure are incorrect
-qmail-queue isn't setuid qmailq

The first two don't match - there is plenty of space, after applying
queue-fix the ownership/permitions of the queue should be OK, so the
possibility is that the qmail-queue permitions are messed. The problem
ocures when installing vpopmail with --enable-roaming-users=yes and trying
to pop-before-smtp.
Hello,
I'm trying to use the command maildirwatch of qmail to read email

I finally got Qmail working well almost anyways :-) I have setup an e-mail
account in Outlook 2000 after everything was tested and created. The account
is authorized with no errors. But mail never seems to come through, and it
never comes back with an error? I just the server and can't seem to find any
new messages in the Maildir. Any suggestions?

1) Read more documentation. You're almost certainly dealing with a
non-problem, or one which has been discussed to death in Dan's docs and the
mailing list.
2) Post useful error reports. The above tells us nothing. At the very
least, post all of the following information, _unedited_, with your messages
to the list, until you are certain what is relevant and what is not. Note:
despite the above, you do not know what is relevant and what is not until
you've successfully resolved a few dozen problems.
-the output of `qmail-showctl`
-your complete qmail start scripts, showing how you run qmail-start
and qmail-smtpd.
-any and all informational or error messages received
-what you expected to happen
-what you observed to happen
-sections of your qmail logs covering the whole incident you observed
-precise information on what software is in use: version of qmail, any
and all patches applied, other related software in use (vmailmgr,
vpopmail, relay-ctrl, Courier IMAP, etc)

In inetd.conf the following was added:
pop-3 stream tcp nowait root /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup qmail-popup
mail.videomoviehouse.com /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3
Maildir
Killed inetd with HUP (kill all -HUP inetd)
Maildir created same as user and also made sure the /etc/passwd file was the
same. Checkpassword is working correctly when running. ie:
+OK <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
user info
+OK
pass testing
+OK
Yes I am in root.
I also restarted qmail ie - qmail restart. Qmail seems to be running fine:

Charles,
Excellent Reply!!! THIS is the type of reply I'd like to see
in lieu of "Read Life With Qmail". Not rude, just informative.
Hey, let's face it. Alot of the newbies simply don't even know
what they "need to know" before asking a question. (Including Me!)
This type of post educates them as to HOW to get the information
the "experts" need in order to get quality help...
Good work!
Bill

Nice :)
One more thing I'd like to ask: can you show user info's .qmail? And your
qmail startup file (/var/qmail/rc). Are you delivering to ./Maildir/ by
default or is Mailbox youe default delivery?

Hi all,
Im trying to install qmail-autoreponder-0.93 but when i run the "make"
command I got the following error:
qmail-autoresponder.c:4: getopt.h: No such file or directory
Somebody help me ?
TIA

Hi all:
I had previously asked this question, although in different language. I was
basically told to go and read before posting the questions. Well, I have
re-read djbdns, FAQ and any other information which was suggested by some of
you. I have basically the same question about "dnscache" and "dnscachex";
I have installed "dnscache" to listen on 127.0.0.1 and then "dnscachex" on
63.113.255.3 and to handle DNS inquiries from the 63.113.255 network. I have
followed procedure as outline in djbdns documentation. Now when I look into
following directories:
/etc/dnscache/root/ip > 127.0.0.1
/etc/dnscachex/root/ip > 127.0.0.1 63.113.255
Now my question. From looking at above information, it seems that both
"dnscache" & "dnscachex" are listening on 127.0.0.1 but "dnscachex" is also
listening on 63.113.255. Therefore, why would anybody install "dnscache" and
not just "dnscachex"?

In that "ip" directory, 127.0.0.1 is the IP address of the client that is
allowed to query your dnscache.
You can install dnscache for each IP address of your multi-homed host. You can
install on directories /etc/dnscache, /etc/dnscache2, ..., etc. Names don't
matter. However, if you want one dnscache to listen on all your IP addresses
(of a multi-homed host) including on 127.0.0.1, you can specify an IP address
of 0.0.0.0 when you run dnscache-conf. I'm not saying this is good practice or
not. I just know that that works for me.

esl:
Thanks for your response. I am still hazy in my head. I understand that
"Names don't matter"... but my question was somewhat different. I hope you
try again to answer it.
Please also note that I am following the djbdns document... and using the
same names as being used in the documentation. In the document "dnscache"
and "dnscachex" are being referred to as "local DNS cache" and "external DNS
cache" respectively. I have installed both "local DNS cache" and "external
DNS cache" on the same machine. I find that the default installation of
"external DNS cache" listens on 127.0.0.1 & 63.113.255 whereas default
installation of "local DNS cache" also listens on 127.0.0.1.
Therefore, am I to assume that if "external DNS cache" is installed on a
machine, then there is no need to install "local DNS cache" on the SAME
machine (and that it is redundant)?

In that "ip" directory, 127.0.0.1 is the IP address of the client that is
allowed to query your dnscache.
You can install dnscache for each IP address of your multi-homed host. You
can
install on directories /etc/dnscache, /etc/dnscache2, ..., etc. Names don't
matter. However, if you want one dnscache to listen on all your IP addresses

or
not. I just know that that works for me.

You don't need to do that. Just install an external cache, and list the address
of the machine's external interface in /etc/resolv.conf. Both the machine
itself and external clients can use the same cache that way.

No it doesn't. I think you mean that it'll allow connections from 127.0.0.1 and
63.113.255.*. It'll only listen on one address.

See above.

That's correct. You just need one cache, and it can be used by remote clients
as well as themachine itself.

Timothy:
You make some interesting point... Let me clarify something. This is my
class project, so time is short. in this case I have to follow some strict
rules. In my setup, Linux server ns1.mydomain.com is using IP address of
63.113.255.3. On the same machine, I have a third party dial in bank using
IP 63.113.255.x. My setup should allow external CACHE to dial-in users (test
users). Based on that, I will be installing only external Cache listening
on 63.113.255.3. You can answer the following, from your answers:
>> If you only need DNS resolution services (lookups and caching) for one
machine, a local cache is what you want. On the other hand, if you want
to provide DNS service for more than one machine, you need an external
cache - dnscache running on a real IP address.<<
Reviewing the above statement, my only choice is to install external cache
so dial in clients can be serviced.
>> The problem with your setup is that your IP address, 63.113.255.3, is a
public address. If you connect to the Internet, the whole world can see
it and the whole world can then use your DNS cache. You don't want that.<<
I sure do not want the world to see... But if the only IP's 127.0.0.1 &
63.113.255.* are allowed to connect, then it should make no difference?
>> Can you set up your network to use an address like 192.168.xxx.xxx?
Those are addresses that are not public IP addresses. You can assign
more than one address to a network interface using ifconfig. The
additional addresses are called aliases.
The idea is that your whole network uses addresses in the
192.168.xxx.xxx range and you use NAT (Network Address Translation)
to convert from public addresses (like 64.113.255.3) to 192.168.x.x
addresses. <<
Well in this case, we already wrote a paper which outlined the class
project. Can't change it now.
Thanks.

Generally, you only need a local cache OR an external cache. Not both.
You *definitely* would never install both on the same machine.

As the previous guy said, the files in the "ip" directory are *not* the
addresses that dnscache is listening on. They are the addresses that
dnscache will accept queries from. To see what addresses dnscache is
listening on, look at the contents of the file .../dnscache/env/IP .
You can also use "netstat -a".

The only difference between a local cache and an external cache is that
the external cache is listening on an IP address that other computers
can see. In other words, 63.113.255.3. A local cache listens to
127.0.0.1 and therefore can provide caching services *only* to the local
machine.
If you only need DNS resolution services (lookups and caching) for one
machine, a local cache is what you want. On the other hand, if you want
to provide DNS service for more than one machine, you need an external
cache - dnscache running on a real IP address.
The problem with your setup is that your IP address, 63.113.255.3, is a
public address. If you connect to the Internet, the whole world can see
it and the whole world can then use your DNS cache. You don't want that.
Can you set up your network to use an address like 192.168.xxx.xxx?
Those are addresses that are not public IP addresses. You can assign
more than one address to a network interface using ifconfig. The
additional addresses are called aliases.
The idea is that your whole network uses addresses in the
192.168.xxx.xxx range and you use NAT (Network Address Translation)
to convert from public addresses (like 64.113.255.3) to 192.168.x.x
addresses.
If you want to keep it simple (I seem to remember this is for a class
project?) Then just put the external cache on 63.113.255.3 and put
nameserver 63.113.255.3
in the /etc/resolv.conf file on all of your Un*x machines and tell the
Windows machines that 63.113.255.3 is their nameserver. Things will work
fine then, although probably lots of other people will start using your
nameserver, too.

hi
i don't know perhaps i would better ask in a vpopmail-list but i think i'm
right here also so i'll ask... and please don't flame me ;-)
i've patched qmail with the smtp-auth patch of
http://members.elysium.pl/brush/smtp-auth/
and everything works fine (also with vpopmail) as long as i use
plain-login. now i would be happy if i could use cram-md5 authentication,
but i haven't found a way to do this (with vpopmail) ? anybody who has got
a solution for that, i would be veeeery happy! thank ya
greets

Standard qmail does not have a badrecipient file. However, there is a
badmailfrom file. So echo "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" >> /var/qmail/control/badmailfrom
should do the trick. Then, [EMAIL PROTECTED] can't send mail to anyone on your
host.
control/badrcptto is possible with patches from www.qmail.org. Putting
[EMAIL PROTECTED] in that file will stop all mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
If you only want to stop [EMAIL PROTECTED] from sending mail to
[EMAIL PROTECTED], you'll need to put things in that users' qmail file.

qmail-1.03, ucspi-tcp, daemontools and supervise-scripts.
There are run script in /var/qmail/service/<service> and
/var/qmail/service/<service>/log.
The run script in the log dirs starts 'splogger' with the name of
service.
But how does the splogger know what to log? As I looked to its sources
it reads stdin and passes it to the syslog. Who redirects the output
from the daemon (e.g. pop3, smtp, ...) to the appropriate splogger?
I want to know it as I use Courier-IMAP and I want to use it with
tcpserver (instead of its own couriertcp), and I want to have some log
from IMAP server.
Can someone describe the qmail logging internals? I hove found nothing
on the web and in the docs and reading sources didn't engligten me.
Regards,
Martin

You have to do it yourself. Qmail itself creates a pipe to it's
logging program.
The simplest way to get all this going is to use the daemontools
package and to start all the services from there.
If you are interested, I can send you my run scripts for the
daemontools setup.
The daemontools package contains also the multilog program that does
more reliable logging than splogger (because it avoids syslog).

Sorry, I missed the real question: I don't know how Courier-Imap
works, but if it logs something to STDERR or STDOUT you may catch it
then the same way like with the Qmail daemons. Daemontools are
recommended then too :)
