The RedHat 5.1 poll() emulation library fails to clear revents when select() returns 0. This caused DNS lookups to loop when they should have timed out. Version 0.87 of ucspi-tcp has a workaround. ---Dan

Thanks a lot. It gave me that error but it worked :-) (my files are named "@*"). It doesn't delete any file. Now I'm going to try all the z* utilities. I have a question: Was I supposed to know how I had to do ALL these things? How, with paranormal power? Hehehehe, thanks a lot again :-) I'm going to forward this message to the mailing list too so maybe it can help more people, or the author perform his "documentation". ----- Original Message ----- From: Dewald Strauss <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: 'Andr�s' <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, March 15, 2000 12:48 PM Subject: RE: qmailanalog howto hi again...

People on shell.mydomain.com have some kind of MUA (eg.

You may distinguish in the MUA between a POP3 (receive) host (which should be shell.mydomain.com) and a SMTP (sending) host - mailhost.otherdomain.com. But obviously, thats not what you want. >but I need >mailhost to rewrite the address >from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED], >and in some cases from [EMAIL PROTECTED] >to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . -- Ok. That means effectively that mailhost.otherdomain.com receives SMTPD Mail from shell.mydomain.com and rewrites the address. Otherwise, QMAIL will transparently forward the Mail. >An example >of how to do this with .qmail files would be >really helpful. -- Not just this. (1) You have to convince shell.mydomain.com to use mailhost as the first SMTP hop. (2) mailhost has to catch the Mail and to interpret it to be local. Check the relayclient section in SPAMCONTROL readme. (3) Check the QMAIL add-on "newaliases" or even better "fastforward" and install it. (4) Put the users/hosts/domains in a file like you do it for sendmail's alias mechanism and employ fastforward as described. (5). Include the following lines into the file /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-default: |/var/qmail/bin/fastforward -p /var/qmail/etc/rewritten.cdb |/var/qmail/bin/forward "$LOCAL"@"$HOST" Here, rewritten.cdb is the fastforwarding database including any address you may need to be rewritten (see 4). Any other address will stay as-is. Cheers. eh. PS: Sorry.

As for controlling the envelope sender, the hostname can be overridden by setting the QMAILHOST or MAILHOST environment variables, if you call qmail-inject.

If you want to allow a particular (static) IP address to relay through you, add them to the smtp.rules file as follows: 1.2.3.4:allow,RELAYCLIENT="" and then rebuild your smtp.cdb. If the user you want to allow relaying for has a dynamic IP address or roams, look into one of the relay-control packages (such as Bruce Guenter's SMTP-after-POP relay-control at www.em.ca/~bruceg/relay-control/) Charles -- ---------------------------------------------------- Charles Cazabon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Any opinions expressed are just that -- my opinions. ----------------------------------------------------
All my users use Outlook 2000 and Outlook Express 5... Both of which support SMTP authentication. Is there a good implementation of this for Qmail? It would strike me (as an ignorant newbie) as a better alternative to relay control than tcpserver... Any thoughts? TIA, -R

Without the fstat() call, qmailq could (via symlink) cause qmail-send (root) to write to an arbitrary location. fstat() should be faster and more portable than temporarily dropping privileges(?). -Sincerely, Fred (Frederik Lindberg, Infectious Diseases, WashU, St. Louis, MO, USA)

If open fails to report an error, this should become obvious in write(). The fstat() info is not used, but if only qmails can create a symlink and qmail-send runs as qmails, we're back to the original question: Why is the fstat() there? -Sincerely, Fred (Frederik Lindberg, Infectious Diseases, WashU, St. Louis, MO, USA)
I provide secondary MX service for a site that may be down for more than 10 days.

Title: RE: Bounce Loops?Hmmm, I guess I wasn't asking exactly what I want. I need to know how QMail detects a message as being a bounced bounce.Example:Mr.Spammer sends email to my QMail server. The envelope has a non-existent return address. The msg is sent to a non-existent user on my system. So, QMail bounces the message, but that bounce is bounced back to QMail.The problem was that the bounced bounce was sent to "MAILER-DAEMON" at my localhost. Unfortunately that account did not exist, so this msg was bounced. Loop.I'm now dropping all mail to "MAILER-DAEMON" (see my previous question on this list), but I wanted to make sure this is the correct procedure.Thanks again,- Scott-----Original Message-----

No. If you installed qmail correctly, you would have created an account called mailer-daemon, which is required to be RFC compliant. --Adam

Really? I thought root and mailer-daemon were requirements.

Yes, according to RFC 2142. <http://rfc2142.x42.com/> But as qmail is bouncing in the name of mailer-daemon, it would be nice to implement that too. /magnus -- http://x42.com/

In a few days, you will have http://www.omnis.ch/omail-test/omail.pl . Login = test, passwd = test, email = [EMAIL PROTECTED] It's currently in beta-test phase : comments welcome. Features : - Full Maildir support - virtualhost support if you use vmailmgrd - no pop/imap needed (read the files directely on the harddisk) - signature/adressbook/userconfig support (with flat text files -> no sql needed) - basic folders support (sent,trash,saved) - french/english/german version - open source - etc...

I might suggest looking into something like Cold Fusion or Tango, both of which are available for Linux. For ultra simplicity, CF or Tango against MS Access as a database is often used (and is actually quite robust considering the amount of brain damage needed to use it)... Of course, Access is Windows only.. CF has some very easy to use POP and SMTP functionality. I could probably write a basic web mail app within 3 hours within CF.. My database of choice is usually Oracle, however... Can get a free developer's license (for Linux) of Oracle 8i at http://technet.oracle.com Regards, -RK -----Original Message----- From: Scott D.

Will work in any case, I'm currently working on it (well, it's 2 a.m. now, but won't be able to sleep before everything is working... :) # 6 possible cases : # # user cgi mode (only for one Maildir or a single vmailmgr-based virtual domain) -> no suid. # # a) just a Maildir : no auth vmailmgr=0 vmailmgr_old=0 # b) vmailmgr old : against $homedir/passwd vmailmgr=1 vmailmgr_old=0 # c) vmailmgr new : against $homedir/passwd.cdb via vcheckuserid vmailmgr=1 vmailmgr_old=1 # # suid cgi mode # # -> findout $homedir and $passwd using /etc/passwd and /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains # # d) just qmail -> auth against /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow vmailmgr=0 vmailmgr_old=0 # e) vmailmgr old -> auth against /homedir/passwd vmailmgr=1 vmailmgr_old=0 # f) vmailmgr new -> auth against /homedir/passwd.cdb via vcheckuserid vmailmgr=1 vmailmgr_old=1 More to come later, Olivier

So decide if you want a small efficent qmail interface (i wrote it, called webmail) or a large qmail-mysql-php service. Thats two different things. (I'm planning to evolve my stuff to become a sql-organized qmail-www (no php, only postgres, qmail and gcc compiler required;) server. So maybe i'll release it on a GNU license. Cya!

I am using vpopmail and I am wondering were my .qmail files go if I want to forward to another e-mail address... Any Ideas?
Well, this might be a stupid question, so I'm sorry in advance. I just setup a qmail server (my first) for an outgoing queueing relay server for us and our customers. From the moment I installed it, the "instant processing" hasn't been happening. Messages always get queued, and will be processed immediately once qmail is restarted (but not kill -ALRM'ed), but they are not processed as soon as they hit the queue. :( NOTE: smtp.800hosting.com does not yet resolve to this machine. We're working on phasing out IMail. (please, don't ask) Here's my setup: qmail-1.03 on FreeBSD 3.4 daemontools 0.53 (Didn't have time to figure out the new versions, the FAQ uses 0.53 tools) qmail-smtpd is started like so: tcpserver -v -H -l `hostname` -x /var/qmail/tcp.smtp.cdb -u 82 -g 81 0 smtp\ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd /var/qmail/smtp_auth/bin/checkpasswd 2>&1 |\ /usr/local/bin/accustamp | cyclog -s 1000000 -n 20 /var/log/smtpd & qmail-start is started like so: exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \ qmail-start ./Maildir/ /usr/local/bin/accustamp | \ setuser qmaill /usr/local/bin/cyclog -s 1000000 -n 20 /var/log/qmail NOTE: No, there are *no* mailboxes to be delivered to on this machine. /var/qmail/control/ stuff: defaultdomain: 800hosting.com me: smtp.800hosting.com plusdomain: 800hosting.com Whenever I send a message (either from other hosts or even using echo "to: root" | qmail-inject), it goes in the queue and qmail-qstat says 1 msg in queue, 1 msg not yet preprocessed. help?

It should be as follows: [root@set qmail]# ls -l queue/lock/ total 1 -rw------- 1 qmails qmail 0 Oct 15 22:48 sendmutex -rw-r--r-- 1 qmailr qmail 1024 Mar 15 15:33 tcpto prw--w--w- 1 qmails qmail 0 Mar 15 15:32 trigger| [root@set qmail]# ----------------------------------------------------------------- Kai MacTane System Administrator Online Partners.com, Inc. ----------------------------------------------------------------- From the Jargon File: (v4.0.0, 25 Jul 1996) house wizard /n./ A hacker occupying a technical-specialist, R&D, or systems position at a commercial shop.

Has anyone implemented a POP-before-SMTP (selective relaying) system that doesn't rely on the assumption that qmail and the POP daemon are on the same host? Those I found on the qmail page unfortunately did. DRAC[1] does this with RPC calls and a daemon on the MTA host that inserts the IP address into a map file, but this approach only has support for sendmail/postfix as of today (according to the web page). A solution for tcpserver, anyone? The other way to do it would to let the POP daemon put authenticated IP addresses in a (My?)SQL table or LDAP database which tcpserver maybe could be patched to read from. Are there any plans (or patches) to implement that? Regards, /erik. [1] http://mail.cc.umanitoba.ca/drac/

Those I found on the qmail page unfortunately did. No. They rely on POP daemon (authentication component) creating a CDB, and tcpserver of SMTP using it. You can accomplish this with NFS (or even with rsync!). > DRAC[1] does this with RPC calls and a daemon on the MTA host that > inserts the IP address into a map file, but this approach only has > support for sendmail/postfix as of today (according to the web page). > A solution for tcpserver, anyone?
