I think so ;-)
My point was that I wanted a default system so I didn't have to add anything
the qmail - If I don't want to add a virtualhosts entry per user then I'm
absolutely not going to want to add a users/assign entry (with associated
qmail-newu)
I had worked out that I could have 26*26 entries in users/assign to handle
hashed spools for all users:
+club24-co-uk-aa:popuser:400:400:/u/club24-co-uk/a/a:-:aa:
+club24-co-uk-ab:popuser:400:400:/u/club24-co-uk/a/b:-:ab:
+club24-co-uk-ac:popuser:400:400:/u/club24-co-uk/a/c:-:ac:
+club24-co-uk-ad:popuser:400:400:/u/club24-co-uk/a/d:-:ad:
+club24-co-uk-ae:popuser:400:400:/u/club24-co-uk/a/e:-:ae:
then I'd create a .qmail-username-default in /u/club24-co-uk/a/a delivering
to ./username/Maildir
But I had to add every virtual host individually - this I didn't want.
Now my perl script takes the email, calculates the HASH Maildir,
if it exists its delivered, if not it checks a MySQL database to see if we
want to accept email for this domain ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) is
accepted - if so, we create the Hashed Maildir and deliver the email.
The next time the Hashed dir will be there thus no MySQL lookup is needed.
Essentially I want to be adding a min of 1,000 user accounts per month
fully automatically without having to remotely connect to the mailserver
and setup their mail account.
It works perfectly :-) Cept I can only hand 400 deliveries per minute
due to perl overhead. :-(
I'm currently splitting the MySQL auth stuff away from the program to minimise
the code in the maildirdeliver program which should mean greater throughput.
Paul.

You've added truchos.com to control/locals, which hides the fact that it's in
control/virtualdomains. You should never have a host in both locals and
virtualdomains.

Ha ! Here is one problem. It works BUT AFTER 3 MINUTES WAITING !!!!!
And I didn't see anything in the docs I read. Why 3 minutes (always 3,
never
4 or 10 ...).

I'm using Netscape 4.5. But I can even not traceroute to pobox.com ! Well,
will try later..
So, all seems to work but this 3 minutes waiting. I made a great step.
Thanks again, Harald

Almost sounds like it's waiting for a DNS timeout. Is this an ummodified
tcpserver? There aren't any anti-spam patches built into it, are there?
Also, try tcpserver without the -R and see if it makes any difference,
although it shouldn't - if anything it should be faster with it.

I cannot believe that -R will ever make tcpserver run any slower. But
the DNS wait hypothesis is easily tested by adding the -H flag to
tcpserver. It may also be helpful to trace tcpserver to see what it's
doing. (No, I don't know what the system calls trace utility is
called on linux.)

Sorry folks,
I realize this is one of the questions you all really hate hearing. I appologize,
I�ve been in the archives, man pages, and FAQ for hours.
The Virtual Domians portion of the FAQ only mentions the files rcpthosts and
virtualdomains, but not locals. So, don�t scream that I�m asking this.
virtualdomains
company.com.ar:domain-company
Simply, do I need to have
qmail-user
qmail-user-domain
within ~domain-company
or if I put company.com.ar in locals can I avoid (without creating any complications)
the second .qmail file?
thx, don�t screem - eric

Is the user name really domain-company? Or is the user name domain, and you'd
like to have that user control a number of virtual domains, one of which is
company.com.ar?
In either case, the entry in virtualdomains will cause mail to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] to be delivered locally to domain-company-user.
If the user name is domain-company, you'll need ~domain-company/.qmail-user to
control delivery.
If the user name is domain, you'll need ~domain/.qmail-company-user to control
delivery.
If you don't have either user name, you'll need
~alias/.qmail-domain-company-user to control delivery.
It all boils down to the local delivery of mail sent to domain-company-user.
Follow how that delivery would work, and it'll tell you what kind of .qmail-
file you need.
> or if I put company.com.ar in locals can I avoid (without creating any complications)
> the second .qmail file?
Don't do that! If you put company.com.ar in locals, then the virtualdomains
entry will be ignored, and things won't work they way you want them to. A
particular domain should be in either locals or virtualdomains--never both.

Hi,
I'm trying to envisiage a totally automatic domain name registering system, where by
the webform
takes a domain name registration request, sends off the appropriate forms, adds the
appropriate dns
entries and changes the mail server config so you can accept mail for that domain...
However, this would require adding an entry to virtualdomains for each new domain, and
thus
restarting your qmail server, probably not a good plan.
Would it be possible to have the virtual domains file replaced with some sort of
database
mechanism, so that on reciept of a mail for a domain, the system went off, looked up
the domain and
if listed in the database, it accepted mail for it and delivered to a then specified
.qmail file?
Any ideas?
Thanks
peter.

No need to restart. Just HUP it. If qmail-send is controlled by
supervise, all that is needed is something like svc -h /var/run/qmail.

Just go and hack in some cdb support in qmail-send, but why bother?

I tried the process below and gathered lots of env files. The first few
times I did the mail from Outlook it actually worked, but thereafter it
wouldn't. Also I tried from pine and it worked, every single time!!
There are differences, as you point out in the ella.mills.edu and
mills.edu, but these are resolved by local DNS...mail to and from both
test acct and me, ( and everyone! ) resolves when using ella.mills.edu or
mills.edu. I am inculding a few env's for your review. Thanks for your
help!

I noticed that the only way to create a list with a name of the form
<list>@<domain> as opposed to <user>-<list>@<domain> is to create the
list under the ~alias user.
Would this be a "normal" way of doing things or is there some reason not
to? I have been setting up lists to replace my majordomo server under a
"lists" user but I figured if I create them under ~alias then I can
continue using the exact same list names as before, and then my users
would not notice and change (except when trying to interact with the mlm
itself of course).

If you wanted to create the lists somewhere other than in ~alias, you could use
the users/assign mechanism.
For example, you could create a list called testlist in ~user like this:
$ ezmlm-make ~user/testlist ~user/.qmail-testlist testlist domain.com
In users/assign, you'd need the following entry:
+testlist:user:123:456:/usr/home/user:-:testlist:
(substituting the appropriate user and group IDs and path).
The list address would then be [EMAIL PROTECTED], but controlled by a regular
user rather than the alias user.

Since there are no normal users on this machine, is there any reason not
to set up the lists under the alias user? I'm thinking security wise
here.

Hi,
prev. sysadmin in my company left for me a server of free mail that uses
sendmail ( Doh! )
The server has ~30k of users soo this is the right place for the qmail.
the 1[Q] is: is there any patches I should apply.
I simply can`t think of any decent strategy I should follow ... the server is
already listed at ORBS hehe
I do what to fix that situation and make it more difficult for spummers to use
the server ...
any advises?
the 2[Q] is: has anybody managed to launch imp using qmail?
thanx

Yes. Read all the documentation that comes with Qmail. Read RFC821 and
RFC822. Educate yourself on how E-mail delivery works, and how Qmail
works.
Then, if you have any specific questions, post them.
In majordomo, the only info stored about a subscriber is his email
address. Can ezmlm store the users name as well? As in "Joe Blow"
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Joe Blow).

I decided to try qmail-pop3d, but can't get it to work.
I'm using Mate Wierdls src.rpm packages for qmail and starts pop3d from his
init script.
I've created a qmail-pop3d.cdb in /etc/tcprules.d with 10.0.0.:allow in it.
(my network at home).
When I try to access my mail via a pop client (Netscape) I get an errorr
message: authorization failed, type new password. And I'm sure that I've
typed the right password.
qmail is running on Redhat linux 2.2.1

Hi,
I have a lot of experience with qmail, I've written custom backends for
delivery (sql,etc). However I've got a really simple problem, I can't
solve and I must be over looking something. I've got a small computer
fetching internet mail with fetchmail delivering it to qmail which qmail
then delivers successfully into /home/<user>/Maildir/new/, however when one
tries to pop the mail from the server qmail-pop3d lists 0 messages. I can
do an ls in /home/<user>/Maildir/new/ and see all the mail files in there,
but qmail-pop3d reports nothing. I'm straced qmail-pop3d and it stats all
of the files in the dir, so it is seeing them, but I just can't figure it
out
Any Suggestions?

qmail-smtpd does not do any header rewriting. defaulthost only affects mail
injected via qmail-inject. If you want to rewrite SMTP mail, you will have
to install DJB's mes822 package, which comes with ofmipd, which you can use
for rewriting. ofmipd is like and SMTP server, but allows rewriting. You
could run it on say port 26 of the qmail machine and make your netscape
server route all outgoing mail to that port.

Put lists.mydomain in the control/locals file, and all list mail will be
handled by the qmail mailhub. You don't need to modify smtproutes.

put the following before the :alias-ppp entry in virtualdomains:
mydomian.dom:
This tells qmail that mydomain.dom is really not a virtual domain, and it
should process it normally. Then you can use smtproutes to send it wherever
you like.
