In testing I've done qmail may initiall appear inefficient, but in reality
delivers mail faster than sendmail. this is due to the latency of the
Internet connections to remote hosts -- in parallel sessions to the same
machine I overcome this latency.

sendmail -q15m
will start sendmail and leave it running processing the outbound queue
every 15 minutes. read the manual to see how to specify other
run-intervals.

Could it be the IMAP server? I have several people (including myself)
running Outlook Express 4.72 which also wants an "Inbox" and I'm not getting
any errors. Our setup is qmail 1.03 with the patched for maildir UW Imap
server running both Maildirs and Mailboxs.
As for the suggestion of a non MS client, I've looked at eudora and a few
others and they are actually worse. Eudora blows for Imap. It always wants
to show every file in the users dir even the . files. I was able to work
around it by editing by hand eudora's local mboxlst.lst file but as soo as I
tried to refresh the folder list everything came back. So I'd be real
interested in a REAL suggestion as to what windows IMAP client to run.

the current de facto IMAP standard:
The case-insensitive mailbox name INBOX is a special name reserved to
mean "the primary mailbox for this user on this server". The
interpretation of all other names is implementation-dependent.

However, the mailbox name INBOX is a special name reserved to mean

SO, the way I read it, the special mailbox INBOX is a normal part of
IMAP4, and it isn't Outlook's fault that your mail server isn't providing
the INBOX folder that the RFC says should be there.
> Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions for me?
Find out why your IMAP server doesn't support this aspect of IMAP
correctly?
I've got lots of problems with OE5 (OE4 was much less buggy), but I
think that both of them do a good job of not screwing with the IMAP
protocol.

I haven't tried it yet, but the latest Pegasus mail has IMAP support. Pmail
is known for its adherance to standards, and is good quality software. I
would guess its IMAP supported has been done the right way. Try it.

It's close. The basic IMAP stuff is there, but their seems to be a problem
with extra folder support. Of course this could be the IMAP server fault
too. Also I'm not crazy about the UI but I'll have to play with it for
awhile.
Thanks for the tip

I think that is what the problem is, I checked the tcp.smtp file under
/etc/tcprules.d and found the old .249 address listed, but I then changed
it to .219, however, the file will not process under tcprules when I try
to run it...I know I am missing something basic here, but I can't see what
it is...

Thanks to all of you who cleared this up.

I caused part of the confusion because when I first asked Dave about it, I hadn't know
yet that the additional tcpserver/smtpd procs I saw came and went with the number of
active connections. Sorry...

Good morning,
I am looking for a patch to make tcpserver work with both the MAPS RBL and
ORBS. Has anyone implemented that yet, or am I just too stupid to figure it
out? ;-)

You don't patch - you simply run two rblsmtpds one after another:
tcpserver ... rblsmtpd -rrelays.orbs.org rblsmtpd qmail-smtpd

I haven't implemented it in my patch, and mine is the only one.
However, you can run Dan's rblsmtpd twice, once with MAPS RBL (the
default) and once with ORBS.

Yeah, I figured this in between. Looks ugly, works. ;-)
Maybe we might get rblsmtpd to accept multiple -r arguments one day.

Just did another test. I WAS wrong all this time :(
You've got to use numbers only. If you use names, as I was, then
tcpserver ends up giving them a value of 0 (output of scan_ulong())
and sets effective user id to root. Nasty.

That's the thing. You were running Solaris 2.5.1 and your GCC was
built for 2.5. Now you're at 2.6 and still using a GCC build for 2.5.
That generally causes headaches, in my experience.

Just to fill in the reason *why* it causes headaches, gcc generates its
own private set of include files by running fixincludes at installation
time. And the include files are invariably OS-specific, so the include
files gcc stashed away from 2.5.1 are going to die miserably on 2.6.

Hi,
I started playing with qmail about 3 days ago, and I'vegot it up
and running on my internet gateway (a Linux box running kernel 2.2.9).
Everything is OK except for a minor detail: delivery latency.
When a message is being queued, I'd like it to be delivered immediately.
It isn't.I have to wait from 5 to 25 minutes to finally see it go.
So, first I browsed through every bit of qmail documentation I could get my
hands
on and I couldn't find a place where you can tune how often qmail looks at
what's in the queue.
Did I miss it in the doc or is qmail-send supposed to spot anew message in the
queue immediately ?
If the latter is true, then something's not working in my setup.
Any help appreciated.
- Emmanuel
That is definetly not the default behaviour of qmail. When i send a
message (in pine for example) to another host, it gets delivered
immediately. Usually before i can even exit the program and do a netstat
it's already been delievered.

Sounds like maybe your "trigger" is messed up. If you can, do a "make
check" from the source tree. Else, do:
ls -l /var/local/qmail/queue/lock/trigger
And make it look like:

That's what I suspected.
It seems that this is a problem with my config.
I'm looking at the source code of qmail-send, and there's one big
select in there listening on a whole bunch of channels.
Does anyone know exactly how and why this select is supposed to wake up
when a message is received ? That'd help me track the problem.
Thanks,

That did it.

One annoying problem with qmail is the following:
The machine I built it on and the machine I compile it on are not the same.
The machine it runs on is a barebones firewall that doesn't have anything such
as make, cc other goodies installed.
So I have to make it on a machine, make a tarball, and install it on the
other.
Somehow, the w bits got lost in the transfer. Maybe a tar bug on named pipes
??
I'll investigate further.
Thanks a lot for fixing my problem

You should always set umask to 0 before unpacking tar-balls.

Yep I had this problem too when putting qmail on a machine in a DMZ.
Naturally I didn't want ny build tools on the machine.
It was a major pain to fix all the permissions and get qmail running. In
fact it took me about 4 - 6 hours to get it all bedded down (Luckily I had
another qmail installation behind the firewall that I could use for
reference).
Someone should write a HOWTO explaining howto compile on one machine and
deploy on another.

A while ago, I posted a question about running the
tests from the TEST.receive. I wasn't able to perform the first
test.
Here's a printout of the
/var/log/maillog:

Funny thing, all the other tests worked. Why
is it taking off the user name on the mail? TIA,

Hello,
I want to log pop connects (both successes and failures) using
qmail's pop server. I have read through some archived postings
but cannot tell whether this kind of logging is possible or if
so whether it would be done as a shell script or as a modification
to checkpassword. It would be good enough for me if I could at
least get tcpserver to log to syslog just the date, the remote ip,
the server connection port each time it handled a connect but it
doesn't seem like tcpserver has syslog logging capabilities.
How are most people doing pop logging?
Thanks,
Mark
Hi!
I'm trying to setup a virtal domain called "cryos.wiktor.dk", with
some emails. The domain is in control/rcpthosts and control/virtualdomains
I the dns-zone:
cryos A 212.97.129.68
MX 10 wiktor.dk.
When i try to send a email to ie. [EMAIL PROTECTED] the mail bounces:
Hi. This is the qmail-send program at wiktor.dk.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1)
Even though the header says:
From: Michael Legart <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Any ideas why this happens?
TIA,

it seems you have user called henrik, but no mailbox as error message said.
Do you really have mailbox(or dir etc) to ~henrik/?
if you are using maildir format, did you do maildirmake ~henrik/Maildir ???

As I see it, it tries to deliver the mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" instead
of "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" - cryos.wiktor.dk is a virtual domain,
and the user "henrik" does NOT exist on wiktor.dk. Only as a user for
cryos.wiktor.dk..

oops..sorry
on your previous mail, it had mx record like
cryos IPaddress
wiktor.dk.
and not cryos.wiktor.dk
does it help bit?

Ok, thanks! That works. But why doesn't the other thing work?
Like - the MX for "nerd.dk" is "www100.image.dk" but mail to
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" is NOT sent to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
So what's the difference from my setup?

Your controls/locals file doesn't happen to have cryos.wiktor.dk in it,
does it?
This was a problem for me, since it didn't even look at the
virtualdomains, since it matched in the locals file first.

You don't want a CNAME there. The address is being canonicalized by the MTA,
and the message isn't going where you expect it to.

I was trying out what would happen if some site incorrectly replied to
the empty recipient address in error. I expected the message to end up
going to postmaster.
When I tried this out I found that the message just gets dropped without
even a bounce. Setting up a catch all alias with a ".qmail-default" file
didn't help.
After looking around for a while I found that rspawn seems to ignore
any message with an empty local part.
Does anyone know why this was both set up not to generate a bounce and
not be delivered someplace?
I would have thought it would have made more sense not to accept the email
in the first place so that the misconfigured remote site would have a chance
to see a bounce there.
Hi all.
Consider the following setup:
Each user of an ISP has a full "virtualhost" username.
Qmail is configured so that [EMAIL PROTECTED] is delivered
into their individual Maildir/Pop3 box. Each user logs in with their
username 'theirname.domain.com'.
Assume this setup is running perfectly (ok, I have 4,000 users using it).
Essentially I'm thinking of enabling the user to login via POP3 as
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]' with their normal password. (I've written the
checkpasswd so it's easy to authenticate ok).
What methodology could be used so that if they login with a specific
email address as a POP3 user then they only "see" email which is destined
for that user. but if they logged in without a user@ part then they would get
everything.
My inital thoughts are to auth, then create a sub-Maildir and mv the relivant
emails into it, set HOME appropriately and launch qmail-pop3d.
However, this has implications against "Leave mail on server", so if this
happens we need to consider mv-ing emails back to the parent Maildir/cur
and tearing down the sub-Maildir.
I could do the above described setup ok, but perhaps there may be an issue(s)
I haven't considered.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
This has obvious application in providing "company wide" or private boxes
within a single ISP account setup without having to do anything fancy for
each client.
Paul.

You'll need a custom POP3 server for that. When the POP3 server
initializes and scans the Maildir for messages, it should ignore messages
that do not have a Delivered-To: address for the login user.
Maildir-based POP3 servers are childishly simple, and you should be able to
write one up, or modify an existing one, in no time at all.

Hi,
I have some trouble with the Jedi's checklocalpwd.c programm. (see
ftp://ftp.ldh.org/pub/j/qmail/checklocalpwd.c )
I can compile it on a unix platform, but that's not possible on a linux
platform. (I tried a redhat 4.2 and a red hat 6.0 ..)
Here is the message that I got :
With gcc
% gcc checklocalpwd.c
/tmp/cc4V6NRr.o: In function `main':
/tmp/cc4V6NRr.o(.text+0x3d4): undefined reference to `crypt'

With g++
% g++ checklocalpwd.c

I have no idea about the problem.
Any idea are welcome.
Thanks!

try adding -lcrypt to the Makefile's CFLAGS or something

Dear all,
I've installed qmail on OSF1 and successfully,
the question is : How to make qmail daemon on OSF1, ? Why my daemon can't
execute at startup ? Can everybody give me a sample qmail daemon on OSF1?
Thank's
Could anyone help me?
I'm using the checkpoppasswd supplied on Qmail.org:
/* Alternative checkpassword for QPopup by Jedi/Sector One <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> */
/* Format of the configuration file is :
* pop_login:crypted_password:real_login:path */
In the file
/var/qmail/users/poppasswd there is a line like:
testid:DmIMm9e5Hc8ic:popuser:/var/qmail/popboxes/domain-com/joe
So, here the passwd is crypted. My question is How to setup the crypted
passwd? What seed to use?
The Jedi's checkpoppasswd script uses the crypt() function, with the
parametter: crypt(passwd,stored)
-passwd is the passwd the the program take from the network
-stored is the crypted passwd in the poppasswd file.
So, I don't know what passwd to set in the poppasswd file.
I'm sure someone has a good idea about that :-))
Thanks!

This question has come up before on this list but I have not been able
to find a clear answer in the archives.
I tried to mail a friend at domain that only had an MX record.
i.e.
#nslookup -query=A site1.com
Server: localhost
Address: 127.0.0.1
*** localhost can't find site1.com: Non-existent host/domain
# nslookup -query=mx site1.com
Server: localhost
Address: 127.0.0.1
Non-authoritative answer:
site1.com preference = 15, mail exchanger = mailin1.site2.com
site1.com preference = 15, mail exchanger = mailin2.site2.com
Authoritative answers can be found from:
site1.com nameserver = ns1.site2.com
site1.com nameserver = ns2.site.com
site1.com nameserver = ns3.site2.com
ns1.site2.com internet address = 207.xxx.aaa.43
ns2.site2.com internet address = 204.xxx.bbb.3
ns3.site2.com internet address = 207.xxx.ccc.5
So when I mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] I get the class delivery failure:
....: failure: Sorry,_I_couldn't_find_any_host_named_site1.com>._(#5.1.2)/
So.... my question is:
Is it my qmail configuration that is at fault or is my friends DNS entry
all buggered. It would seen that qmail did not get to the MX record to
find the right delivery address.
I have no entries in the smtproutes file. I tried puting a manual
route for site1.com:mailin1.site2.com but go a relay failure.
So what gives?
Thanks for the help.

Hi all:
We have installed qmail 1.03 with qmail-pop3d in our mail server. From
time to time, there are users with Microsoft mail clientes (Outlook,
Outlook Express, Internet Mail, occasionally Exchange) who can't
retrieve messages with attachments. The mail program just hangs, or
shows some message like "Unexpected error; the connection has been
aborted by the server" (paraphrased). It doesn't always happen with big
attachments; sometimes, a small 5K file is enough to block the mailbox
(although I have noticed that a large number of the messages with
problems come with some M$-generated file attached (Word/Excel documents
and such)).
I've searched on the mailing list archives, and I've found a couple of
posts by people with similar problems, but there wasn't any answer about
how it was solved. Any ideas?
