Hi all,
I am a newbie with qmail. I have it installed on my box and I've been
fiddling around with it for a while.
I would like to know if this program is suited for my application.
I have a small LAN with a win2kbox accessing the internet through a
Linuxbox that is masqarading internet to the network. I would like to
have a central email daemon setup to access email from several internet
service providers, download the mail and send it to the corresponding
people on this network.
I was told that qmail and fetchmail were the applications that I would
need. I have setup fetchmail and it gets the mail from the ISP and puts
it in a single file on my system. I however have no clue how to make
qmail retrieve this mail and put it into the mailbox of the people on
the network.
Also if you want to retrieve your email from qmail's /home/user/mbox
with an email client, what configuration do you give the client to read
this mail?
This proberly sounds silly to you experienced administrators but
remember I'm a newbie with qmail and email servers in general.
Could somebody give me some insight into this or point me to a setup
that I can follow. I have read the documents and I've been to the web
site to read that but I can't figure out how to use this to my
advantage.
Thank you,
Regards,
Andrew Doye

Hi,
ok, lets put things together from the begin:
.) with fetchmail you get the mails from your isp's.
.) qmail is a MTA runing on your linuxbox.
.) fetchmail sends mails to the local MTA (qmail you remember) and qmail
delivers them local.
.) forget everything about mbox - use Maildir
.) set up qmail-pop3d
.) set up your winboxes to get mail via POP3 from your linuxbox and to
deliver mail via SMTP to your linuxbox.
.) setup qmail to route mails (control/smtproutes) to your
isp's smtp-server
for all the fancy qmail setup stuff you should read "Life with qmail"

Yes it fetches it and creates a single file called /var/spool/mail/username
(username being the name of the person that is logged on)
Will qmail read this single file and send the emails to the appropriate
accounts?

OK I'm with you so far.
> .) forget everything about mbox - use Maildir
OK so qmail has replace the old mbox method?
> .) set up qmail-pop3d
OK to do this it told me to put the following lines in my boot script:
tcpserver 0 110 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup YOURHOST \
/bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir &
What script file would you suggest I put these lines in? Perhaps in a
new script in my /etc/rc.d dir?

This I have done.

I don't have a file in this /control/ directory called smtproutes. I
assume I have to create one but where do i find out the correct method
of doing this?
I found this : http://www.glasswings.com.au/qmail/man/man8/qmail-smtpd.html
But It doesn't really tell me how to construct the file.
Thanks again. You have been a source of inspiration to me.

fetchmal is able to deliver to port 25, so there is no need to do file
delivery. It also work for multidrop boxes. Your mail provider just have to
keep the mail envelope (mine doesn't :-( ).

I have a situation where mail needs to go out via different servers
depending on a number of criteria. For this I use a custom written
post processor which reads messages from ~alias/pppdir, rewrites the
headers and writes them to another maildir for delivery with
serialmail. Maybe you could use a similar approach.
There is a new package available from the DJB, called mess822, which
should make that task easier:
<http://cr.yp.to/software.html> look for mess822
There is also useful info at:
<http://cr.yp.to/immhf.html>
Maybe someone else has more specific help?

Hello Greg Owen,
Thanks for technical help and education. I really thought tcpserver
works like INETD and listens to all specified ports. You help with
understanding of the tcpserver's basis.
But what about freezing and flashing - is there some when they are
working together on one Linux box?
Best regards,

What do you mean by "freezing and flashing"?
-Dave
I use the tar pitting patch..
There are 2 things you can control.
1. Threshold.
2. Delay.
it changes qmail-smtpd so that after each recipient listed on a message it
may insert a delay.
the delay is as long as you tell it in seconds, and it only happens after
Threshold number of recipients have been listed.
There is very rarely legitimate email with more than 15-20 recipients, So
this works great.

actually i do know quite a bit about administering linux. that message came
off sounding like i have no idea what i'm talking about. it's just that
this has been driving me nuts and i'm a little worn out. inetd was running;
just not properly. tcpserver had taken over and wasn't allowing it to start
any services. also, you can't just "run" inetd.conf as it's a config file
not a script. i was hoping he could clarify. the only way i know how to
"run" inetd is to "kill -HUP inetd". what i've decided to do is remove
qmail and reinstall it using the tar files instead of the rpms. that way
i'll have more control over how it works.
What do you mean by "tcpserver had taken over and wasn't allowing it to start
any services." ? What kind of rpm are you talking about? I have
no knowledge of a qmail rpm that messes up your inetd---especially non
qmail services like ftp or telnet. So give us the URL to the qmail
rpm.

the rpm that i installed that took over is qmail-run. it installs
qmail-smtp to run under tcpserver instead of inetd (somehow disabling all my
services in inetd.conf; i still haven't found out how to restore inetd to
full working order). the link to where i got the rpms is
ftp://moni.msci.memphis.edu/pub/qmail. i'm busy reinstalling qmail and
setting up the services manually thus avoiding tcpserver. most likely i'll
use xinetd, but i haven't decided yet. this is a personal server and won't
get too much traffic so using inetd shouldn't be much of a problem.

Describe the nature of your non-success. What tests did you perform,
and what were the results. What did your logs say?

/var/qmail/alias

Well... it seems that the problem was that in the me file was a domain that
was not registerd... but now I am having the following problem:
I am getting this message:
Hi. This is the qmail-send program at ns.mati.net.mx.
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.

Sorry please don't pay attention to this email... ansered another email.
Sorry.
As I said before... the problem that I have now is that qmail is sending mail
telling that the mail was not delivered... when actually it was (this only
when using the aliases)

What can be wrong is that your virtual domain configuration can be
botched. How have you configured indianseamless.com? Show us:
your virtualdomains file
.qmail files associated with the virtual domain
permissions on the virtual domain admin's home directory and
mailboxes
-Dave
Hi there.
Just a quick question. I have several virtual domains which I admin through
qmail, all of which are being relayed on to other boxes. I'm getting
frustrated with so many files in the /var/qmail/alias directory, over 50
with each domain. Is it possible to place each domains ,qmail files into a
seperate directory? I am sure that I have seen this done in the past
somewhere, but I can't see anything in the documentation that does it.
TIA for any help.

Why don't you use a default delivery for every virtual domain handled by a
program delivery?

Try putting:
virt1.domain.com:virt1
virt2.domain.com:virt2
in /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains
virt1 and virt2 are users on your real domain so you can put
all related qmail files on their home directory.

Yeah, if stuff is going to the console, it's probably because it was
sent to stderr and not redirected to stdout. I.e., make sure you have
"2>&1" at the end of the pop and smtp run scripts.

I noticed that my logging didn't start when I forgot to chmod +t
/var/qmail/supervice/qmail-xxxx catalog. Check that also.

I'm Thinking the problem could be that fastforward is looking for mboxes and
not Maildirs... If this is the case how can I change it to use Maildirs

Fastforward doesn't know about mailboxes, it just redirects delivery
via qmail-local.

So what's your defaultdelivery? Does "julieta" have a .qmail file?
Does ~julieta/Maildir exist? Is it a maildir? Is it owned by julieta?

Hello all,
How do I verify if qmail has received a remote email my friend sent to me.
The email did not bounce. I have set up a user account on this qmail server
named tmai. qmail was set up to use Maildir. When I browse the
/home/tmai/Maildir I saw three empty directories cur, new and tmp. There was
no sign of new email.
Could someone guide me through setting up a new user on this qmail server
please?
What I did was after I created the tmai userid:
#cd /home/tmai
#/var/qmail/bin/maildirmake /home/tmai/Maildir
I also set up some aliases as:
#echo tmai > /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-root
#echo tmai > /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-postmaster
#ln -s /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-postmaster
/var/qmail/alias/.qmail-mailer-daemon
#chmod 644 /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-root /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-postmaster
Just like it was instructed in the LWQ.
Any help are greatly appreciated. Thanks
Tony M.

I assume from the `#'s that you did this as root. Your Maildir needs
to be owned by tmai. (Assuming Linux; tweak the following commands as
necessary for your system.)
# chown -R tmai.tmai ~tmai/Maildir # as root
Then, unless you changed the system's default delivery method to be
Maildir instead of mbox, you'll need to do:
$ echo '/home/tmai/Maildir/' > ~tmai/.qmail # as tmai

Hi!
I'm running a relativelly large qmail system: 2 servers, each one outputs 1Mb
of cyclog logs each 5 minutes...
I would like to use qmailanalog to have some statistics (mainly total
deliveries and histogram of deliveries per time interval), but saving the
logs for a full day would take a lot of space.
Is there any way to use qmailanalog to generate such stats without storing
all the logs for the day and then running qmailanalog stuff over it?
Thanks in advance.
