I have a private network who use a server called myhost.mydomain, connected
to internet to a ppp line. The server is use as mail server, proxy, gateway
and so on for the private netowork... The problem is that the MUA that runs
on the windows machines from the private network can't use my server as
outgoing mail server. They receive an error massege that the domian is not
in the list of allowed rcpt hosts. I put the hosts from the private network
in /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts, but the error is the same... My /etc/hosts
look somethig like this:
192.168.80.2 winmachine1.myhosts.mydomain winmachine1
192.168.80.3 winmachine2.myhosts.mydomain winmachine2
and so on...
In /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts i put:
myhosts.mydomain
winmachine1.myhosts.mydomain
winmachine2.myhosts.mydomain
What I have to do that the MUA from winmachines to work? (my users now use
pine to sent their mail)
Thanks, and please excuse this stupid question...

If you're making the change to qmail, you're going to want to use tcpserver.
inetd is no longer officially supported, and I think you'll find that most
people on this list won't answer questions about it because they don't use it
(at least not for their qmail stuff).
It's not at all difficult to set up, and you can run tcpserver and inetd at the
same time, as long as you don't try to listen to the same ports with both. Just
be sure that for every service you use tcpserver for, you comment out the inetd
lines for that service.

I think you need to add those IP addresses to /etc/tcprules.d/qmail-smtpd
or /etc/tcprules.d/rblsmtpd (depending on which you use). There should be
a RELAY rule in there which (by default) only allows the machine's IP and
the localhost IP to use it to relay mail for outgoing mail. If you edit
that and use tcprules to make a new cdb file it should work (I
believe). You might have to restart qmail-smtpd to get the changes
recognized, I'm not sure. This is a guess, I'm new to qmail too. =)

I have a few problems with qmail-pop3d that I'm not sure how to solve. I
followed the instructions to the letter, and when I start it with
/etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail-pop3d.init it starts but says "hard error" before
it starts. Any idea what this might be?
Also, I switched to using maildir and followed those instructions
properly, but when I use fetchmail to attempt to retrieve those messages I
get a "user doesn't have a $HOME/Maildir" error and no mail is
retrieved. There is a ~/Maildir directory, I ran maildirmake and added
"./Maildir/" to the ~/.qmail file. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Thank you in advance.

Ok, I was thinking of that. The problem is I want messages from the
mailing list sent to the robot, all except for the messages the robot
itself sends. Basically what I'm doing is turning a message area on my
BBS into a mailing list and don't want the messages from the BBS going
*back* to the message area on the BBS because ezmlm sends the poster his
message back. I want to avoid duplicate messages in the BBS message area.

Yeah, I installed ezmlm-idx so that isn't the problem. Nice added
features it provides... =)

Why not just have the robot program look at the "from:" line in the
message, and if it's from itself, it discards it? That takes care of the
looping...

Hi All,
I have this in my /etc/init.d folder on a Solaris 2.6
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -x/var/qmail/control/tcp.smtp.cdb -v -u 101 -g
100 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd &
Each time I check my email, the server executes another instance of this,
see below :
alias 320 1 0 20:45:38 ? 0:00 /usr/local/bin/tcpserver
-x/var/qmail/control/tcp.smtp.cdb -v -u 101 -g 100 0 s
alias 477 320 0 20:54:02 ? 0:00 /usr/local/bin/tcpserver
-x/var/qmail/control/tcp.smtp.cdb -v -u 101 -g 100 0 s
Why is this as is this normal?

Sorry, but what is "djb's mess822 lib" ?

It's available from his "available software" page. It
is a pretty nice library and set of programs for slicing
and dicing rfc-822ish e-mail headers.

Well, if we're talking about the same thing, I remember that
Harald was upgrading his Solaris machine and told the list
that it automatically installed sendmail. Then, in one of the
start up scripts someone else suggested that the disabled the
sendmail binary and made the appropriate links to qmail.
But my memory is also not that clear (and I'm not on-line
right now).
Hope this helps, Roger...

Not sure if anyone got this, but as an update I re-created the Maildir's
for all of my users. I think I had originally done "maildirmake
~/Maildir" which might have been the problem... did it this time as
"maildirmake $HOME/Maildir" and now when I connect with fetchmail it tells
me it is unable to scan $HOME/Maildir as opposed to the other error
message. One step in the right direction, I think, but now I'm really
stumped. Why would it be unable to scan?
I also edited /var/qmail/rc and changed ./Mailbox to ./Maildir/ but that
doesn't seem to have made a difference as far as the POP3 daemon is
concerned.
Help!
