Hi there,

I'm using qmail and it runs fine for normal users on the machine.
(I'm using the courier IMAP server as well).

Now I wish to add virtual users at virtual domains.

I've set the DNS entries for the virtual domains
and they work fine. I've added the domains I wish
to receive mail for to the rcpthosts and virtualdomains
files in the control directory.

I have a user vmail to which I sent all the mail
that arrives for the virtual domains.

So in the virtualdomains file I have:
domain1.com:vmail-domain1
domain2.com:vmail-domain2

and in the home directory of vmail I have
.qmail-domain1-user1
.qmail-domain2-user2
which have the mail directories I wish to have
mail delivered to for the (virtual) users
user1 and user2.

This doesn't work for me. Is this the right way to do it?
Any mail sent to the address [EMAIL PROTECTED] is
returned with the error that no such mailbox
exists.

What mistake have I made?
All pointers appreciated.

The reason I want to do it this way is that
I have added the virtual users to the userdb
for Courier IMAP, and want it to pick
up the mail from various places in the
vmail user directory.

All the best,
Niall

I had exactly the same problem on some hosts, daemon not starting
even with all ldap files in place. The problem was the 'exec env -'
construction that probably failed since I was able to start everything
with qmail-start from my shell (zsh) without problems, having /var/qmail/bin
exported in PATH. So the fix was:

% cat /var/qmail/rc
#!/usr/bin/zsh

export PATH=/var/qmail/bin:$PATH
qmail-start ./Maildir/

The statements included are my own, but could also be those
of my employer. I'm not sure.

Both are installed in /var/qmail/bin.  Permissions were 0711.  I also
tried bumping the permissions up to 0755 just to see, but same
results.  Owned by 'root', group is 'qmail'.

hrm, well, tried that.  same results.  i then tried to run qmail-start
directly from my shell.  same results. 

bash-2.02# export PATH=$PATH:/var/qmail/bin
bash-2.02# which qmail-start
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-start
bash-2.02# qmail-start ./Maildir
alert: cannot start: hath the daemon spawn no fire?

Watch vmstat output and determine your bottle-neck(s).

I don't think your hardware is the problem though.

We achieve a much better through-put on cheaper hardware.
More specifically, a 2xPII-550 system w/ 512MB RAM and some
UW SCSI disks performs about 900k delivery attempts/day. It
peaks at 30 deliveries/s. 

This is a list server, so it does not receive nearly as many
emails as it delivers.

How high is your concurrencyremote setting? We use the 
big-concurrency patch to deliver up to 1000 emails 
concurrently.

You have to increase a compile-time limit in order to fix
this. It's trivial.

I know that this is not a real solution, but it needs to be done.

I need a 'goomailfrom' ie: people or domains that exist in the list is
allowed to relay. I suppose it is something opposit for 'badmailfrom'
that dont allow certain people or domains to mail us.

POP-before-SMTP relay and relay certain IP's is not working as the
firewall doesn't give me the correct IP's =(

Please advice ASAP

It's a bad idea, but you can use this patch to do it:

If you want /var/spool/mail/user delivery use qpopper as pop3 server.
qmail POP3 server only supports Maildir format.

There's a header in every message that says the following:

Try that.

        It isn't clear to me what you want to do.  

        In short: qmail shouldn't need to know anything about the Cyrus
users, it should just hand off mail to the cyrus "deliver" program which
does know, unless you're trying to do selective relaying.

        In detail:

        1) If you're asking how to make qmail's delivery process correctly
deliver to users defined in cyrus via Oracle, the answer is: configure qmail
to use cyrus' "deliver" program, which presumably already knows about all
the users defined in Oracle.  No changes to qmail are needed except the
default delivery method.

        For example, I've got a qmail box that delivers to Cyrus users, and
my /var/qmail/rc file has the following lines:

exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \
 qmail-start '|preline -f /usr/cyrus/bin/deliver -e -a $USER -- $USER' \
 splogger qmail   

        Note that for this to work, you either have to loosen the execution
permissions on deliver (which compromises Cyrus quotas, but I didn't care on
the server above) or wrap deliver with a setuid wrapper (presumably the
"setuidgid" program in DJB's daemontools would work).

        2) If you're asking how to make qmail relay for users defined in the
Oracle database, I don't know a good answer.  Presumably you'd want to grab
the SMTP-AUTH patch and fix that up to check with Oracle, but you'll
probably still have problems with that.

        3) If you're asking how to make checkpassword work with the Oracle
database, then either you or I are confused: checkpassword is used by
qmail's POP3 server, but if you're running Cyrus, you can only use Cyrus'
POP3 server anyway.

Well, I think it is written above. User has no $HOME/Maildir, so you should
create it. Try 'man maildirmake'.

Hi,

        I'm having problems with a pop user checking their. There are around
12000 emails in their MailDir directory and I get the following error when I
try to download them:

-ERR unable to scan $HOME/Maildir
Connection closed by foreign host.

The host names are all set correctly. Also, if I empty out the box to around
6000 emails, it will work fine. 

I'm running a brand new linux system with qmail-1.03

Any suggestions?

out of memory. qmail-pop3d needs space for 12000 filenames, with maybe
30 characters each (depending on the length of the hostname part of
the file name), plus 5 ("new/\0"), plus another 8 bytes for meta 
information, accounting for about 500000 bytes of memory, plus 
whatever your C library needs, plus whatever the kernel needs.

Unfortunately qmail-pop3d suffers from memory fragmentation, so
the actual memory usage is somewhat higher.

You might get a far better behaviour if you change the number 100 in the
line
GEN_ALLOC_readyplus(prioq,struct prioq_elt,p,len,a,i,n,x,100,prioq_readyplus)
in prioq.c to, say, 5000, and recompile qmail-pop3d, and install that
and only that - the change will eat 5000*8 bytes in qmail-send.

Or: Adjust your resource limits.

Or: clean up your mail dir. pop3 wasn't designed to deal with that
number of messages anyway (as wasn't maildir).

I have a qmail server up and running GREAT.. all is well..
BUT... I want to bring up another that will Que up mail should the real mail
server crash, need rebooting, Melt down to slag, or ETC......
Anyone have a how-to for that ?..
Many thanks in advance.

Set up the other mail server. Add the domains you want it to be a backup for to
control/rcpthosts, but NOT to locals or virtualdomains. Create an MX record for
the domains with the new server as a lower-preference mail exchanger.

That's all there is to it.

        Build a second server with qmail.  On the second server, instead of
listing your domain(s) in 'locals' and 'rcpthosts', list your domain in
'smtproutes' and 'rcpthosts'.  'smtproutes' is described in 'man
qmail-remote'.

        Create an MX entry for both your main and your secondary server, and
make sure that the secondary server has a higher MX value (i.e, main is MX
5, secondary is MX 10).  

        If main is down, mail will queue up on the secondary.  If main is
down for more than 7 days, tweak your 'queuelifetime' so that it won't
bounce.  When the main server comes back up, send qmail-send a SIGALRM to
tell it to clear out the queue.

        Chris Johnson just posted without the 'smtproutes' hack.  He's
correct; I'm thinking of how to handle it when the backup is sitting on the
wrong side of a split DNS fence.  If you aren't doing split DNS, you don't
need smtproutes, just proper MX records.

But smtproutes is never a bad plan for reliability.

set up the second machine and insert the appropriate host names it
shall be a backup mail server for into /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts.
Do not insert them into control/locals.

Test this from an outside machine which is not a relayclient.
Test it again.

Tell whoever manages the MX records for all those domains to set up a
low priority MX record for all host names configured above, pointing
to your second machine.

Et voila.

See http://www.ohse.de/uwe/misc/backupmx.txt for why i dislike 
backup mail servers.

Hi All,

Is there any interface ( preferably web interface) available which allows
POP users to change their password.
Please give your feed back.

Thanx.

Dear all,

I want to configure the same username  for different smtp domains.How do I
achieve this , the domain name needs to get precedence over alias name for
resolving an email because although the alias is same, the domains are
different?

Thanks in advance.

Hi
I have recently began using qmail and ezmlm.  I would like to set up a
mail list that receives and holds messages until a set time of the
week.  Then release the message queue to the list and start over.
Surely there is something out there to accomodate such a task.
Please respond to my address, since I am not currently on the qmail
list.
Many thanks
Jeff





Hi, 
I am now running qmail on a Redhat 6.0. I have installed fastforward for
aliases, and switched to Maildir as opposed to Mailbox
I am running listar for mailing lists, which is correctly delivering mail
to subscribers.
Unfortunately, since I moved to qmail Listar is not updating list-archives
any more. Listar can create list archives in either mbox or mh formats,
and examining log files (both of Listar and qmail) has left me clueless.
Anybody out there had similar problems or has any hint? I browsed to past
posting to this list (and on listar-support ml) with no success...

Any suggestion for an alternative sound-and-simple software for mailing
list management well tested with qmail?

Thanks

hi there,

i know this topic has been beat to death on this list, but i am
currently entertaining the idea of using paul vixeys realtime
blacklist.  i'm sure that old-time-listees have had enough of this
conversation, in addition to be a little off topic. (sawry)

if anyone has any pros or cons that they would like to pass along to
me in private email, i would really appreciate it. (especially if you
wouldn't mind me quizzing you a little, too.)

i'm combing the archives of the list now.  i did run across one
message, where someone asked about some great spam-resource lists, but
of course the subscribe information was xxxxx'd out. can someone
point me to those?

(we are running qmail version 1.03 on 2.2.8-STABLE FreeBSD, just fyi)

Since Dan supplies a program (rblsmtpd) for interfacing with such
lists, maybe we can squeeze it in as very nearly on-topic :-)

I'm currently using the RBL, RSS, and DUL, quite happily.  I still get
considerable spam, and am not blocking *that* many sites, but I try to
do my part to give those lists some weight, so that being on them is
BAD.  I've seen a number of places, including the University of
Minnesota, and Panix (big New York ISP), suddenly jump up and start
fixing stuff they "couldn't fix" when they finally made it onto the
RBL :-) .

I have sometimes found it necessary to punch a hole to allow mail to
come through from someplace on one of the lists (most recently, it was
to make sure that the head of publications for a convention I host
stuff for could communicate with others to get the program book put
together).  This is easy to do by adding entries to  your tcpserver
cdb file, like this:

    # mail relay for home.net for xxxx xxxxx 3/27/2000
    24.2.9.40:allow,RBLSMTPD=""

By setting that variable to an empty string, it prevents blocking.
It's harmless if that IP isn't on the blocking list.  (I xx'd out the
name of the person this is for).  

Happy to answer any questions I know the answers to; off-list might be
better, unless others want to make sure I'm feeding you good data :-) .

Hi,
This is my /var/qmail/rc file. One line is commented out because it doesn't
start the qmail local files. The defaultdelivery file has "./Maildir/" in
it. I'm using the startup script from
http://web.infoave.net/~dsill/lwq.html#installation-issues. Could someone
tell me how to start the qmail local files correctly when using svscan and
the daemontools? Any help is appreciated.

exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \
qmail-start ./Maildir/ splogger qmail
#qmail-start "`cat /var/qmail/control/defaultdelivery`"

        If you're using Dave Sill's startup setup from LWQ, the only change
you should make to this file is remove the 'splogger qmail' phrase.  If you
don't remove it, logging will go to syslog, and never fall through to the
multilog line Dave has in /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-send/log/run.

        You may or may not want to modify the "./Mailbox" part to deliver
somewhere else, but that's a seperate issue.

I'm running qmail-1.03 in a Compaq Proliant 6000 server with 4x200Mhz P-Pro
with 512Mb of RAM and an array of three U-SCSI 9Gb disks.

This server recives mails for my domain (is the MX), then it passes to
another smtp server that makes the local delivery to the mailboxes.
(specifing in the smtproute file the fixed route for the incoming mails).

These are some counts that I perfom with cat and grep in a highly hour :

cat /var/log/maillog | grep "Mar 28 18:3" | grep "new msg" | wc -l
181

cat /var/log/maillog | grep "Mar 28 18:3" | grep "starting delivery" | wc -l
114

cat /var/log/maillog | grep "Mar 28 18:3" | grep "info msg" | wc -l
181

cat /var/log/maillog | grep "Mar 28 18:3" | grep "end msg" | wc -l
99

cat /var/log/maillog | grep "Mar 28 18:3" | grep "success:" | wc -l
111

qmail-smtpd is invoqued by tcpserver, I start tcvserver instance with the
command "tcpserver 0 25 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-stmtpd &" in on of my init
scripts.

The Problem:

The problem is that i'm having long delays in the delivery of mails. In some
cases an email that arrives to the server can be stored for a couple of Hs.
in the /var/qmail/queue directory until is passed to the other host that
makes the local delivery.

I make a "find /var/qmail/queue/mess/. | wc -l" to see how many emails are
in the queue and this number continusly grow up.

Take in  mind that this server don't make world deliverys, only accept
connections from the world and then pass the email to another host that is
in the same LAN.

I missed that this server is also running an apache web server with about
2000 hits/day, but I think this is not relevant.

The load average of CPU repoerted by the command "uptime" every time is
between 7 and 20.

The total of qmail preccesses are about 70 (ps -ef | grep "qmail" | wc -l)

Can any tell me if these values are OK for this hardware ?

Tnx.

        Check the trigger.  See
http://web.infoave.net/~dsill/lwq.html#trigger for more information.

        If the trigger is working fine, then use the logs to find out why
messages are taking so long.  If this is an inbound relay for your internal
server, there shouldn't be any reason for it to defer messages.  But the
logs are your friend.

        Until you've checked and possibly corrected these two areas,
profiling your load average is pretty pointless.

        Finally, consider installing qmailanalog so that you can automate
your evaluation of the state of the queue and of recent deliveries.

Hi!,

I'm having problems with qmail. I don't know why, but when I send an email to certain 
addresses at certain moments the mail gets sent to other addresses that I don't even 
know, and many even not exist. So if I send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (my 
default domain) the mail gets perfectly delivered to that mailbox but it seems that 
qmail also tries to send it to some more destinations which I don't even know the 
email addresses ever. The weird thing is that this happens sometimes, not always. One 
of the account is a vpopmail account with a .qmail inside the maildir, which includes 
3 address in this format:
.qmail contents:
&[EMAIL PROTECTED]
&[EMAIL PROTECTED]
&[EMAIL PROTECTED]

And belongs to vpopmail:vchkpw (user:group)

Any idea at all?...is it a virus to the clients (I've tried different machines, 
different clients - outlook, pegasus- and happens the same thing....) or anything 
else?. 
One cause could be that I upgraded my vpopmail version lately....but I really don't 
know!..
Here's one of the messages I get:

How can I configure pine using Mailbox instead of using
/var/spool/mail/user ? I tried following the procedure but it doesn't
work. Pine has an error something like "no folder".

What should I do? Could someone give me a step by step procedure on how
to do this?

Hope you could help me,

I believe if you set MAIL to $HOME/Mailbox pine will work just fine 
with ./Mailbox
In bash this is done like so:

        export MAIL=$HOME/Mailbox

Getting it to work with ./Maildir/ on the other hand may require a bit 
more work...

We use pine here on this machine, what's needed is:

($:~)- cat /etc/pine.conf | grep -A 3 -B 3 MailBox

# Path of (local or remote) INBOX, e.g. ={mail.somewhere.edu}inbox
# Normal Unix default is the local INBOX (usually /usr/spool/mail/$USER).
inbox-path=~/MailBox

# List of incoming msg folders besides INBOX, e.g. ={host2}inbox,
{host3}inbox
# Syntax: optnl-label {optnl-imap-host-name}folder-path

also, make sure that your NEW users do not currently have a pine.conf or
if so, you need to modify it.

Also, you will get an error if a MailBox file does not exist, but just
send mail to the user or touch the MailBox file with the proper perms and
that will fix it.

The user you are logged in as (presumably root but I'm not sure)
hasn't got '.' (the current directory) in their PATH environment
variable.

It's usual *not* to have '.' in root's path for security reasons so
you just have to live with using ./<command> when you're root.  For
commands in /usr/local/bin you could of course just add /usr/local/bin
to root's PATH variable, I don't think that has any security
implications as long as only root can write in /usr/local/bin.

If this is just a home system to which only you have access it's
probably acceptable to add '.' to root's PATH variable.

I'm have one server with qmail !  the domain is test.com  and host is

out of the net (for one user in internet ) , he returns error 550 "
don't is possible deliver message for us " !!   what is this ??  is DNS
?? this server is under of firewall with NAT !!  

Thanks for any help !!  And sorry my bad english :)

That's okay. However, Dan's English is extremely good. He never wrote
an error message which said, ``Don't is possible deliver message for
us''. It would help very much if you copied the error message exactly.

> the domain is test.com  and host is serv1...

Is this you, then?

   [budney@goshawk budney]$ nslookup test.com
   Server:  duckling.swoop.local
   Address:  192.168.0.1

   Non-authoritative answer:
   Name:    test.com
   Address:  207.206.9.99

test.com does not have any mx record for serv1; nor can I find any
information on serv1.test.com in DNS. Can you give more information
about your setup? If your domain is not really test.com, then you
should give the proper name. The people on this list can help you;
they will not hack your server when you give its right name. They
_will_ yell at you when you lie about its name.

> what is this ??  is DNS ?? this server is under of firewall with NAT !!  

You need to make your question clearer. Please tell 1) what you did,
2) what the computer did, and 3) what you expected the computer to do.

Len.

Hi!

Do you know any pop3 daemon with Maildir support, wich enables basic logging?
Statistics such as those produced by e.g. qpopper or cucipop would be just fine
(incomming connections, number of messages/bytes downloaded/leaved,
authorization failures etc.)

Siaco.

I'm becoming quite desperate now, because qmail still refuse to run under
init script
I use init script from Live With qmail, and after I've done all the
requirements and do
. /usr/local/sbin/qmail start
then the result
: command not found
': not a valid identifier
: command not found
'ash: /usr/local/sbin/qmail: line 6: syntax error near unexpected token ' in
'ash: /usr/local/sbin/qmail: line 6: 'case "$1" in

The script is below

Could somebody give your initscript for me to installed at my machine, and
I hope the script is already with pop3d , and rblsmtpd, and it should be
compatible with ucspi-tcp 0.88

Thank you

hi all,

just created a mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] through ezmlmidx and it
works fine for the users that i add with ezmlm-sub, however when i send a
mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] i get a message back saying no
mailbox?

do i need to create a /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-all-news-subscribe link to
some sort of /var/qmail/alias/all-news file like the other aliases that are
created?

secondly, a repeat of a question i posted a couple of days ago. is it
possible to use the .qmail-domain:com:au-username dot-qmail format in
/var/qmail/alias for locally delivered domains?

thanks a heap.

Regards,

No. That's handled by /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-all-news-default

I don't really see what you mean here, but I have a few examples here:

http://x42.com/qmail/cookbook/domains/

/magnus




Is it possible checking all outgoing email from one domain to see if
they are digital signed, and if not reject (bounce back) the email to
the sender with a message telling them that all outgoing email from that
particular domain must be digital signed?

Please advice
 Michael Boman

and I wonder if there is anyone that has successfully installed it and
could help me if I get problems.
