Hello.
Let's say that we have got a domain mydomain.com and we want to create
20 mailboxes for subsidiaries. each subsidiary is in other town.
I have got mydomain.com registered and I want to create mail boxes
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
and so on.
How to do it?
Only idea i have is to create diffrient virtualdomain for each mailbox.
Is there a simpler method to do it?
please send replys to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
and
thanks for any help

You need two things:
1) DNS
You need dns entries for town1, town2, etc with MX records pointing
at your box.
2) virtualdomains
you need a virtualdomains entry for town1, town2, etc.

No flames. You just need to calm down a little. Understand that this
is a complicated system you're trying to set up, and it might not
happen as quickly as you'd like. But we'll help you through it.

Suddenly I've got the following message when trying to send messages
thru our SMTP server (not the one I'm using now):
qq trouble creating files in queue (#4.3.0)
You can see for yourselves by trying to send a message to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] What's this???

Make sure you have sufficient free disk space and i-nodes in the queue
file system. Run "make check" to ensure correct owners/perms.

The sysadmin of one of the machines I receive mail on will soon be
rejecting messages that have no Message-ID, as apparently virtually all
such mail that comes in with no Message-ID is unsolicited spam.... with
the surprising exception of qmail bounce messages. Sure, I know that
there's no requirement to include a Message-ID line, but isn't it
eminently sensible to?
I was just wondering if there was any good reason why qmail's bounce
messages appear not to have one, and if there is any prospect of them
acquiring one by default in the future.
If this has already been covered, please point me to the appropriate
message in the archive - I couldn't find it in a search.
Thanks,
Mark

I wrote a "NetiquetteEnforcer" script which I use in conjunction with ezmlm to
check for specific, uhm, misunderstandings on the senders part (all windows
are 160 characters wide etc), and also to check the mail as per RFC822 (at
least somewhat).
Basically, there are some programs out there which do not include a Message-Id
- I had such a case comeing in from a popular German mail service
(gmx.de/net), and RFC822 says Message-Id is optional.
While I personally think thats a bug and should be made mandatory, I am not
sure what a message-id would gain you in an automatic bounce. Especially with
qmail, which does not log the message-id header anyway... ;-)
Sincerely,
Lars Marowsky-Br�e

It would gain me the ability to still receive bounces from others' qmails
even when I'm sending mail from machines where the sysadmins refuse
Message-ID-less mail on the basis that it's probably spam! (-:

Can't you get this sysadmin to relax the rule for bounce messages? It's not
like messages with <> as the sender are hard to spot, especially as he's going
to the trouble of finding a Message-Id.

Unfortunately, medical science has determined that the type of brain
damage that leads to rejection of mail based on no message-id is
often associated with symptoms of rejecting null envelope senders,
i.e. bounces. These patients often claim that "the voices" have
told them that both of these items are spam markers.
Treatment is available, and we're all hoping for a cure.

I just installed qmail1.03-i386.rpm on my RedHat6.0(kernel 2.2.9)
It seems SMTP is not working properly. When I try to send e-mail by pine.
It complained "SMTP greeting failure: 421 SMTP connection went away".
IF I try to telnet localhost 25, here is the response
telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.
Anyone knows what is going wrong and how to fix it?

Did you check the logs in /var/log/qmail-smtpd? What do they say?

I've sent this a hour ago, but it probably didn't get through
(subscription address was the one with problems). Sorry if I'm repeating
myself. Won't happen again.
The problem is, suddenly I've got the following message when trying to
send messages
thru our SMTP server (not the one I'm using now):
qq trouble creating files in queue (#4.3.0)
I've shutdown qmail for the moment in the offending domain, CPU
utilization was sky-high. We are protected against relaying. What could
be wrong? Could I just zero out the queue? How do I do that? BWAAAAH!
Cya,

Found an interesting comparison of various UNIX MTA's include qmail,
sendmail, postfix, exim, and zmailer:
http://www.kyoto.wide.ad.jp/mta/eval1/
Unfortunately, it's in Japanese. The results are presented in GIF's
with English annotations, though.
Looks like qmail did pretty well. :-) It didn't top every test, but
appears to be the overall winner.

I've seen two strange situations wiht ezmlm-0.53.
(1) Users could not be unsubscribed, either via the -unsubscribe
address or via ezmlm-unsub. Every indication said it worked, but
they were still on the list.
(2) A mailing list a user of mine runs is getting Re: prepended on
every subject. Every time. This is rather annoying. It happens
only on this one list, and does NOT prepend the text "[arf]:" or
"(arf):" as desired, but happily adds Re: to the Subject.
Anyone else seen these?

Hi!
(First thing, I'm from Brazil, forgive me for the errors please...)
I'm trying for some time to send all mail incoming for the domain
'virtualnetwork.com.br'
to be delivered to a host named 'watherever.virtualnetwork.com.br'. The host
uses Sendmail
and I've tried many ways to do the relaying... I've set up an MX for
'virtualnetwork.com.br' already...
1- I put the line in the 'virtualdomains' control file:
'virtualnetwork.com.br:xxx' and created an 'xxx' user, so that I could forword
all incoming mails
to a host by the '.qmail-default' file in the 'xxx' home directory... It didn't
worked becouse, I think,
the 'virtualdomains' control file transform the 'user@domain' in
'user-prepend@domain', the
Sendmail program didn't work out the users, I supose...
2- I tried to put the line:
'virtualnetwork.com.br:whatever.virtualnetwork.com.br' and included the line:
'x.x.x.x virtualnetwork.com.br whatever.virtualnetwork.com.br'
in my /etc/hosts file... It didn't work out either... The Qmail thought that
the messages wore
locals...
The host 'whatever.virtualnetwork.com.br' have an fake IP... So I can't put
it in my DNS server,
I don't want to use my DNS, instead I want to use the /etc/hosts file... Will
Qmail relay messages
to another host runing Sendmail?! ...

The sendmail part has nothing to do with that.
1. Make sure MX for virtualnetwork.com.br points at your qmail
2. Put virtualnetwork.com.br into your rcpthosts (NOT locals, NOT
virtualdomains)
3. Add an entry
virtualnetwork.com.br:whatever.virtualnetwork.com.br
into your smtproutes
(4. Give qmail-send a HUP)
(5. Make sure whaveter.virtualnetwork.com.br exists in DNS, or put
IP address instead into the smtproutes)

Both this and your next attempt are incorrect. To do what you are trying
to do:
1. Add virtualnetwork.com.br to your /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts file.
2. Add the following line to your /var/qmail/control/smtproutes file.
virtualnetwork.com.br:[1111.1111.1111.1111]
Replace the IP address above with the real address.
3. Remove all entries for virtualnetwork.com.br from the
/var/qmail/control/virtualdomains file.
4. kill -HUP (pid of qmail-send)
The mail should now be delivered as you intend.
NOTE: qmail does not use /etc/hosts - ever! Use smtproutes to get around
the DNS lookups for hosts that are not in DNS.

Hello Sirs...
First, thanks to the ones who helped me out to solve the relaying
problem. It is almost solved... The problem that remains is that I
wanted all, really ALL, the messages that comes with the
'virualdomain.com.br' as domain (including root, etc...) to go directly
to the specified IP...
It is happening that messages to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' are
beeing delievered localy to the local root...
Other things... I wanted to do some deliveries testings. I wanted to
do as I used to do with the mailx's Sendmail program in the Solaris
OS... Something for me to see the hole header of the message, where it
comes, to where it goes, that kind of things...
What is the equivalent to 'mailq' in the Qmail program? (sorry to
ask that... I had to...)
Last: I can find some history of this Mailing List somewhere?!
Regards, Pirolla.

I saw a few thing on the <http://www.mysql.com/Contrib/> under authentification
tools that might work. Unfortunately I can see no information about the patches
anywhere. I just started looking into this myself. If you come up with
anything, please give me a holler.

Kinda figured it was, but I hate to write one myself. Would make for one heck
of a learning experience though. LOL

do other MTA's also allow for incorrect MX records?
is there a good reason that someone would set up an MX record
with an IP address?

I have been using MX records to CNAMES for years without incident...
can anyone show where this is described as taboo and also give
any examples of how/where it breaks something/anything?

As far as I know, sendmail, qmail, and recently postfix, allow for MX
records with IPs. Exim does not allow them.

They're M$ admins who don't care to read the DNS book by Cricket Liu?

Using tail -f $FILE | less, I'm seeing delays of about a second, but not
more than that.

tail _always_ waits one second before trying the read again.

I have a (hopefully Simple) question regarding the config of a qmail
server a college and myself setup resently.
I have a qmail server hidden behind a Firewall from both my internal
network (users) and the external network (internet).
Now we have noticed since changing over that there is a 30 second delay
on any email transaction from either the internal network or the
external network.......and we could not figure out why.......
Tonight I was thinking that the Firewall could be the problem when a
Firewall Techie told me that he has seen this problem before and
suggested that it is the mail server doing a reverse-IDENT and the
Firewall is blocking it (both internally and externally) and the default
timeout is about 30 SECONDS........sounds like to solution.
But is this the case with qmail?
I answered this question myself by allowing my Firewall to pass the
ident port for the internal network and now email is delivered instantly
to my internal users......but the problem still exists for my external
users and mail servers that are trying to send me mail or receive email
from my protected server.
And how do I stop it or change the timeout to be 1 second if possible?
I hope someone can help me with this problem.
Thankyou for your time,
Dean Oliffe
Hi.
I want to use both qmail-users and qmail-getpw but I can't.
My server has 2 users, akao and kohei, except root.
I can send a message to akao and kohei, and receive.
$echo to: akao | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject
$echo to: kohei | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject
Next I created /users/assign file like this.
---
+:alias:7790:2108:/var/qmail/alias:-::
=:alias:alias:7790:2108:/var/qmail/alias:::
+alias-:alias:7790:2108:/var/qmail/alias:-::
=k-akao:akao:10:1:/home/akao:::
+akao-:akao:10:1:/home/akao:-::
.
---
and typed
$ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-newu
then qmail-newu created cdb.
So I can send a message to k-akao, and receive.
($echo to: k-akao | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject)
But I can't send it to kohei.(I don't want to add kohei to /users/assign
file.)
($echo to: kohei | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject)
Log said
"delivery 32: failure: Sorry,_no_mailbox_here_by_that_name._(#5.1.1)/".
I'd like to use both /etc/passwd user and alias name.
How to configure?

Where's the dot (.) at the end of the assign file? From the
qmail-users(5) man page:
STRUCTURE
/var/qmail/users/assign is a series of assignments, one per
line. It ends with a line containing a single dot. Lines
must not contain NUL.
Regards
Peter

I think this is where the problem is. Your first line is the "catch-all"
entry, which will trap all addresses, and so qmail will never consult
/etc/passwd. It will pass on the message for kohei to user alias, and
because alias doesn't have a .qmail-kohei file, the message will fail.
Remove that first line and you should be fine.

The dot was right here before you cut out too many lines for your reply.

I am using qmail1.03 as MTA on my RedHat Linux 6.0. The server seems to
work ok if I use pine as client. However, when I use Netscape mail, I
could not send mail out, it always complain "that domain isn't in my list
of allowed rcpthosts(#5.7.1). Please check the message recipients and try
again." I can send to the same recipient by Pine without any problem.
In the Netscape preference, my setting is
outgoing mail(SMTP) server : localhost
outgoing mail server user name: jinfeng
Can anyone tell me what's wrong with my setting and how to correctly set
up Netscape as my mail client? Thanks a lot.

This is in the FAQ. You want the part about selective relaying.

Hi all!
Is it possible to test delivery without sending real mail?
(something like sendmail -bv).
