I have a qmail server with server wu-imap (for Maildir) and sqwebmail
for mail access via web.

my users use the following MUAs:

NetscapeMessenger(with imap protocol)
Netscape Navigator with sqwebmail

If I create a PERSONAL FOLDER with Sqwebmail, i cannot see that folder
with Messenger and vice versa;
(in fact any MUA creates your own folders at different
locations/directory on the server )

Now, the questions!!!:

1) Is there the way to see the SAME folders with the 2 MUAs ???
2) Is there another sw for webmail "compatible" with
imap-folder-location ???

Thanks

Excuse me for my bad English!!!!

sqwebmail doesnt need an imap server, it reads the mail from the maildirs.

If you want webmail software that uses imap, try squirrelmail
www.squirrelmail.org, or IMP
www.horde.org/imp (i think IMP reads from IMAP - not sure)

Either of those might fix your compatability issues.

Probably didnt answer all your questions, but I hope it helps

wu-imap does not use the same structure as sqwebmail does for folders.  If
you want to maintain compatability use the courier-imap package from inter7.

Hi, 

I have a clean install of qmail - as per LWQ
But when I try to connect to the server it takes at least 20 seconds to get
a 220. See below

I am connecting to the SMTP server locally, its running on Redhat 6.2,
kernel 2.4.2

There is no DNS server at the moment - could this be an issue?

[root@xenon /root]# telnet xenon 25
Trying 192.168.34.10...
Connected to xenon.i9000networks.com.
Escape character is '^]'.

<insert 20 seconds here>

220 xenon.i9000networks.com ESMTP

I only changed one thing from the LWQ install, and that was to run svscan
(from my inittab) on /var/qmail/supervise, but i since changed it back to as
per LWQ - same story.

Everything seems to be running fine...

Any ideas anyone?

This is not only a FAQ, it is _the_ qmail FAQ.
man tcpserver, search for ident and dns lookups.

all, but its fine for the time being!

/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -l -p -R -H -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c "$MAXSMTPD" \
-u "$QMAILDUID" -g "$NOFILESGID" 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1

Add -R (tcpserver -v -p -h -R -x xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)

Looks like you haven't even tried it, so the only applicable advice is:

Download <http://cr.yp.to/software/mess822-0.58.tar.gz>, unpack tarball,
read README, read INSTALL, install, read man pages, play around.

Show us the command you're using. Show us the message that says it's
finished. Try running the tcpserver command under
trace/truss/strace/par.

Hi!
 
Does anyone know why there is a long delay before Outlook checks and/or send mail through qmail? The logging service reports the commenction on the server but then occurs a timeout (after a minute)
Sometimes this delay does not appear.
 
On the server all is working fine (with pine or through sqwebmail, which I installed)
 
qmail-smtp, pop3 and the rc file are running supervised..
 
 
Thanks,
 
Christian

Yes, many of us do.  In fact, one member of the list answered this very
question earlier today.  Perhaps you should try reading the documentation, the
FAQ (it's the number-one most commonly asked question about qmail), and the
mailing list archives.

Yes, everyone who's been reading this list for more than a day knows the answer
to this question, because it is by *far* the most frequently asked question.
Check the list archives (you won't have to look far).

I'm tired of answering "man tcpserver". Can't one use the archives?

I did start reading this mailing list only today, i did not receive the
earlier answers, but someone send me a real answer and it worked...


How can I redirect the tcpserver outputs to /var/syslog? It appears on the
first console at the moment.

Thank you anyway

Netiquette suggests that you "lurk" on a mailing list for a while before
posting.  That way, you see all the common questions and answers before
posting them, and you get pointers to common documents or websites you should
read.

Again, a FAQ.  The documentation for qmail explains how to send output to
syslog.

Yes, the delay is provided by Microsoft so that you have a bit more
time to ponder whether you *really* want to risk automatically
executing "certain MIME types."

It would be a big win if it were integrated with a source code control
system like RCS, CVS, or Perforce.  In my work I'm using Perforce and
Keystone, and I'm really tired of having to enter the same info both
places ("fixed bug #### with patch blash to file foo.c").  It would be
cool if the integration allowed me to pop to a ticket, open broken
files, fix 'em, check them in, and the ticket system would
automagically update its info like bug status and files affected.

Perforce has sponsored work to integrate their souce code control
system with TeamTrack and Bugzilla. They have an API for integrating
other bug-tracking systems. Might be worth looking at.

Hello,

I have a proble with authentication with vpopmail. I use user%domain.com for
the username field and the password for the password field in authenticating
for virtual domains but I don't have any success.
I have qmail running with system accounts and one virtual domain which is
set up as per instructions.

Please help.

My apologies if this has already been asked and answered, I've searched the
archives and haven't seen anything on it, I've looked thru the docs that I
have, and the only thing I have found is
"a serious bug in qmail-send or qmail-queue".   

Does anyone know how to determine what the problem is, and how to fix it?  

Thanks in advance for your help.

"unknown record type in ... "  errors that show up in the qmail logs:

Page 339 of the book "Running Qmail" has only this to say in regard to this
error "a serious bug in qmail-send or qmail-queue", which appears to be
taken straight from one of the man pages.  Unfortunately, I haven't seen
anything on how to identify what this bug is, or how to fix it.

To help you, we need the following information:

    -version of qmail
    -any and all patches applied, and other qmail-related software in use
    -what OS and version you have
    -how you installed (compile from source, etc)
    -type and version of your compiler

How about some history. When did you install? How did you install? Any
patches? Any add-ons? Platform? Anything unusual in the set-up: weird
h/w, s/w, n/w?

Next time, try searching the list archives, e.g. via:

  http://www-archive.ornl.gov:8000

They aren't too helpful in this case, though. This error has only been
reported once and seems to have been due to a botched virus scanner
installation.

Hi,
If this is not the right place for this I apologise.

Due to a misunderstanding with my local bookstore I have an extra copy of
the book Running Qmail that I would like be rid of. I paid $52.00CDN for it.
Any offers????

I am in Ontario, Canada.

You have a good day now

That's a good idea. It makes it easier to control the tcpserver

You have to tell dnscache which hosts to talk to. For an internal
cache, 127.0.0.1 is sufficient--just point to it via /etc/resolv.conf.

Yes, a dnscache is a good idea.

Hi Dave,Thank you very much,about dns I put the 127.0.0.1 as 3rd nameserver
into my /etc/resolv.conf,the previous 2 are the ISP's nameservers.
I was aiming to avoid some of the "unknown" messages from my mail's headers
Anyway it sounds strange (to me) that my localdns can't find my hostname!!

Oh,Good!...BTW now Fetchmail[OT] is reporting this message:

How could I solve this?

Mailing list mail will not have your email address in the headers; you should
either tell fetchmail to look at the Delivered-To: header (if the MTA on the
POP3 server/IMAP server is qmail), or give it some sort of instruction for
default deliveries.

Or use getmail, my replacement for fetchmail.  You can find it at the link in
my .sig.

Since most (all?) resolver libraries query resolv.conf's nameserver list
in order, your dnscache will _never_ be queried so long as either or both
of your ISP's nameservers are reachable and responding.

I have never found any reason to list a locally-maintained dnscache
anywhere else but #1 in resolv.conf.  I'm curious to know if you've found
such a reason.

> I was aiming to avoid some of the "unknown" messages from my mail's headers

As noted above, your ISP's nameservers are being queried first.  Since (I
presume) they don't know about your domain, what you're getting is not
surprising at all.

You should think in terms of the average size of a mail message.
That's the number you'll need to provide to mkfs via "-i". If you
guess too high, you'll run out of inodes while there's still free space
on the filesystem. If you guess too low, you'll run out of space
before inodes. I try to err on the side of allocating a few too
inodes.

BTW, with SGI's xfs file system, which I'm now running under Linux,
inodes aren't preallocated, so you don't have to worry about this
issue. You also don't have to worry about 8-hour fsck's on a 200 GB
RAID 5 or poor performance on a directory with 10000 files. :-)

-Dave




Well, though it wasn’t what I expected, I appreciate the answer.  By
the way, I don’t have "man mkfs.ext2" on my system (again RH 6.2
install) just "man mkfs".  I did some web searches for it, and the one
I found was very terse and didn’t indicate how to specify inodes.

What’s important is that between the 2 answers I got, I at least know I
can specify more i-nodes which will do for now.  I can get more
detailed information later.  Thanks again and sorry I offended.
    === Al

p.s.  I’ve seen worse posts than mine get treated better on this list.

Hmm. I bet if we knew the details of the configuration of smtp1 we
might be able to answer this. Start with the unedited output of
qmail-showctl. Are you doing any fancy to route mail from smtp1 to
smtp2?

  Thanks for your response. 

  Actually I use sendmail as an MTA on smtp1.  And the above problem happens
not only when I send messages using MUA, but even when I connect from smtp1
to smtp2's port 25 via telnet and try to send a message by speaking SMTP.

  smtp1 receives messages from smtp2 to [EMAIL PROTECTED],   both
via smtp2's MUA & manual SMTP sessions.  So it seems for me that the
problem is in the configuration of qmail on smtp2.  Should I send the
output of qmail-showctl on smtp2?

hello,
my qmail box receives mail for 2 domains, domain A and domain B.

domain A is handled locally with vmailmgr and virtual users it is in
the virtualdomains control file). 

mails for domain B are only relayed to another box (it is in the
smtproutes control file as domainB:ip-adr:25).

the problem:
I would like to forward one users mail joe@domainB to joe@domainA (and
only this user). how can i do this, when there is no local user for
domainB?

many thanks in advance
jan

So domain B (use real domains next time, it's easier) is only in rcpthosts
and smtproutes, not locals or virtualdomains?

> joe@domainA (and only this user). how can i do this, when there is no local

You'll have to make domain B a virtual domain, controlled by a local user
(such as alias).  Do this with a virtualdomains entry like:

    domainb.org:alias-domainb

Then, have a .qmail file for joe:

    ~alias/.qmail-domainb-joe

which contains a forward directive ("&[EMAIL PROTECTED]")

Then handle the remainder of the domain in another .qmail file:

    ~alias/.qmail-domainb-default

which contains something like:

    |forward "$DEFAULT"@domainb-different.org

and possibly an smtproutes entry for domainb-different.org.  domainb-different
might be a domain literal (IP address), or another name for which domainb's MX
will receive their mail.

Can't find this in the mailing list archives (perhaps I'm not searching well
enough) but is EHLO really a security vulnerability in qmail?  ISS reports
that EHLO can be used by potential attackers.  Personally, I've never really
seen that EHLO can be a bad thing on must MTAs, but I'm not sure 'bout
qmail.  Any takers on this question?

This is usually caused by system times set wrong on computers somewhere

Did you install the glibc-devel package?  You might try just copying it

Does qmail recognize or take advantage of a dual processor setup? I'm
assuming that with the big concurrencyremote patch, regardless of the number
of processors, we're sill relegated to, at most, 500 simultaneous
connections. We need to send a lot of messages within a short period of time
and are thinking our best bet is to simply add more machines to our strategy
to increase the number of simultaneous connections as this seems to be where
improvement is needed. As far as I can tell, the speed of the processors is
largely irrelevant since 90% of the speed issue comes from how fast the SMTP
connections connect and complete and that variable's out of our hands and
dependent on the receiving machine's end. It's quite possible I'm making
several erroneous assumptions here so feel free to correct as you see fit
and I'll be happy to hear the truth. Thanks a lot!







Brett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

If your OS is multi-processor-capable, then it will schedule qmail's multiple
processes across the processors.  qmail itself is not multithreaded.

Depends on your system; conf-spawn can be set higher if the FD_SETSIZE of your
system is large enough, and you have a high enough file descriptor limit.

How many is "a lot"?  Some people on this list report sending out most of a
100,000 member mailing list in the first hour or so after injection into the
queue.  There's a section at www.qmail.org on large-volume servers.

It's also a subject which has come up many, many times on the mailing list.
Look through the mailing list archives for the results others have had.

seattle2.lhh.com is a nickname for mx.dedicatednet.com
mx.dedicatednet.com has address 207.195.180.11
mx.dedicatednet.com has address 207.195.180.11

seattle.lhh.com and seattle2.lhh.com are configured wrong in DNS.
MX records may not point to CNAMEs ... thats one (not critical) problem.

> 207.195.180.22 does not like recipient.

So it looks like none of the prio=10 hosts was available at that time
so the message was sent to  seattle.lhh.com  and this smtp server is
misconfigured according to DNS as it is a MX host for lhh.com but does
not accept messages for lhh.com.
The same holds for  seattle2.lhh.com:

$ telnet 207.195.180.11 smtp
Trying 207.195.180.11...
Connected to ns1.dedicatednet.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 ns1.dedicatednet.com NTMail (v4.30.0013/NU7670.00.0cc0ca14) ready for ESMTP 
transfer   
HELO sucker
250 ns1.dedicatednet.com sucker
MAIL FROM: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
250 OK.
RCPT TO: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
550 Mail relay not allowed at this server

221 Goodbye sucker

So, either the DNS for lhh.com is set up wrong in terms of MX records
or the mail servers at dedicatednet.com are set up wrong according to
DNS.

        \Maex

P.S. At the moment the prio 10 MX hosts work (again) for me.

Stress is when you wake up screaming and you realize you haven't fallen
asleep yet.




We just put qmail in production use. All our clients are running Outlook,
and most work fine. However some are unable to send mail if their SMTP
server is set to the INSIDE interface of our mail server. If we change their
SMTP server to the outside interface (ie, they go through the firewall) then
it's fine.

Network does not seem to be the issue - client can ping the inside
interface, and can telnet to port 25 and send a message. Seems to be
something specific to Outlook. Outlook progress bar goes halfway, hangs for
about 30 seconds, and then reports that the remote server terminated the
session error 0x88ccc05.

I used recordio to capture the SMTP conversation of a failed attempt on the
inside interface and a successful message on the outside interface (user is
smarsh, see below). However I don't see anything obvious, except maybe the
client neglects to send a QUIT on the first attempt? I dunno the piece of
junk mail in the middle makes me lose the track.

Any advice?

Throw Outlook away?  This is apparently a known bug in Outlook; it's been
brought up before on this list (check the archives).  I'm not sure if there
are fixes/upgrades for all of its bugs.

My qmail has been running fine for a year or more. Now it is very slow
to accept connections on SMTP or POP3 ports. 

I get this behavior from other computers on the local network, but
everything works as usual from the qmail server.

I've tried it with telnet, Netscape and other software with the same
results.

What can/should I check?

Thanks,

--Tom Jackson




Have there been any changes on the DNS setup for your system; i.e., your
nameservers.  In my experience this has been the #1 cause of delays,
because email/qmail depends heavliy on DNS service.  I have several
nameserver changeovers, and when things are not exactly kosher, qmail
grinds to a crawl.

Secondly, look at the que and see what is there.

Title: re-writing headers based on rules

Hi there,

I have the following setup.

A Web server which sends email from forms. The web server box runs sendmail (sorry!). This gets relayed through mail server which runs qmail. I'm looking to rewrite the headers at the qmail end to achieve the following:

All emails relayed to @xxx.com (which is remote) need to be Bcc'ed to another address.

I don't really want to do this with sendmail. Is there a way to do this with qmail?

Thanks for your help

The RELAYCLIENT setup is described in the FAQ (look for FIXME).
