It's hard to make anything out of the information you've supplied. First of all, go
through the logs and see if you can track down this wierd behaviour. Also, check your
Sent-mail box and check the headers for those unknown messages. You might want to try
to send an email without using a MUA. Try some �echo -n "to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]\nsubject:
test\n[..more headers..]" |/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject� and see if you can reproduce
the results.
If you can't find a logical explanation, consider the information below:
vchkpw has had remote-exploitable vulnerabilities resulting in root access. I don't
have the version number of the vulnerable vpopmail in my head, but inter7 should be
able to supply you with that information. (I think there might be some information on
their homepage still.)
My advice, check if you've used a vulnerable version of vpopmail, and if you have, try
to figure out if you've been owned.
The risk might not be that high, but it's the first I'd look into if my mail would
start delivering mail to adresses I've never heard of and can't track down in any of
my postings.

In pine's global config, put the line:
inbox-path=~/Mailbox
in it and remove any other inbox-path lines.

Yes. Look at FAQ 5.5 (the FAQ in /usr/src/qmail-1.03).
Also, I would prefer if you not send your VCard to us.

You can make good use of the qmail-1.03 FAQ 5.5. Instead of passing
the mail through qmail-inject, check it for a digital signature
instead, and either forward to original recipient or bounce back to
sender.

Please use AMaViS 0.2.0-pre6-clm-rl-6, which is available at
http://www.unixzone.com/virus/ This should work 'out-of-the-box'.
You may also have a look at AMaViS-perl-5.
If you have any problems or questions, please ask me or Chris directly.

Most people don't think to "show headers" when they want to unsubscribe. I
think the point that is being made here is that
it would be nice if it were part of the displayable portion of each post.
Almost all other mailing lists do it. This list is being run on qmail, and
qmail has the ability to attach a footer (part of the text message) to each
email. Why not do it?

Qmail has no such ability. (Well, you can hack your qmail setup to do
nearly anything if you want to badly enough.) Ezmlm has no such
ability. Ezmlm+idx has an easy way to do it; but this list is run
with bare Ezmlm.
As to "almost all other mailing lists" doing it -- not one of the
mailing lists I'm on, over a dozen, puts unsubscribe instructions in a
trailer. Some put it in a header, some nowhere in the message.
And I think that people who use software that hides headers from them
should simply learn to force it to show those headers, and should look
in those headers when they're puzzled about something relating to a
message.

This breaks when the messages are MIME encoded. Even ezmlm-idx only adds
footers to some messages.

I used to think this would be a good idea. But I recently got onto a
mailing list that puts the unsubscribe information as a trailer on every
message. This mailing list is also moderated (in the sense that submissions
go to moderators who then decide whether or not to let them through to the
list-at-large), so everything seemed fine...
Until two weeks ago, when they decided people had been good, and they'd try
un-moderating it. From my perspective as a random listie, a huge flood of
messages suddenly hit the list, saying everything from "How do I
unsubscribe" to "Get me off this list, now!" to "I DONT WANT ANY MORE OF
YOURS STUPID EMAILS. STOP SENDING ME OR I WILL SUE."
There were at least five of these per day, often more. Even pointing out to
these morons "The unsubscription instructions are at the bottom of every
email", roughly two or three times a day, didn't clue them in. (It seems
logical that people who are too illiterate to read unsubscription
instructions are too illiterate to read directions on where to find those
instructions.)

While I'd like to see this become a standard behavior, I don't think it is
one now, and expecting people to follow it is a little unreasonable.
Encouraging them to is another story entirely.
But I certainly don't think that including unsubscription instructions at
the bottom of each post will have any effect on the density of unsubscribe
requests.

I used to believe that, but experience has changed me. I include
unsubscribe information, along with the patch from Fred Lindberg that
places individualized unsubscribe information in the headers in one of
the mailing lists that originates here. At one point, someone
accidentally trashed text/trailer, so that unsubscribe info stopped
appearing. Since I don't read the list, the only way I found out about
this was that I suddenly started getting unsubscribe requests directed
to postmaster, staff, etc., etc., etc.
Replacing the file reduced the number of unsubscribe requests enough
that it makes keeping it there worthwhile.

most people are intelligent enough to go back to where they signed up and
look for removal instructions there...
I've even heard stories of people who save the help files they are sent when
they sign up to the list.
but there are some pretty odd people out there.
I can't uderstand it myself. I personally prefer to post messages in
capitals to the actual list and wait until someone gets peeved and kicks me
off manually. it saves me so much work.

LOL. We have many of these people on the php3 list.
Someone needs to write an AI system which automatically handles
emails to the list admin..

I am trying to justify continuing the use of qmail in our organization. Is
there a comprehensive list out there of large organizations that use qmail
and the volume of mail they have pass through their mail exchangers?
Appreciate any insight into this. Thanks.

http://qmail.org/ lists quite a number. Doesn't list email volumes
since that information is harder to come by.

Hi ....
I seem to be having probelms with my mail
exchanger.
If I send e-mails with large attachments they
seem to disappear.
I have created the file
/var/qmail/control/databytes and set 5000000 but still no luck.
Does anyone have any suggestions ?
Thanks

Hi
Apologies in advance if this is a dumb question but I'm a newbie and have not been
able to get to the Qmail documentation project site. Whats the deal with this?
I set up qmail as per the 'life with qmail' document from www.qmail.org as well as the
document on setting it up as a multiple pop server using only 1 userid. I did this on
RH6.0 machine with the latest qmail distribution, as well as dameontools, etc. It all
worked fine but I have made a modification somewhere that has resulted in the
qmail-smtpd behaving strange. If I do a qmail-inject locally, everything is sweet and
the message is delivered to the appropriate mailbox.
If I telnet to port 25 remotely or via localhost the qmail log shows delivery to
"local @mail.domain.com.au" - ie the actual recipient is gone. In fact, no matter what
domain I specify it replaces it with whatever is in control/me.
I'm sure this is something dumb and I cannot supply the logs here as I'm no longer in
the office, however a quick look at the docco that I could get to did not give me any
help..
If there are any quick suggestions they would be appreciated, if not I'll get all my
logs. platform details, config details, etc together and hopefully make a better post..
thanks in advance

Now I've just reinstalled my mandrake linux, because of the apache problem
(it won;t work with the new kernel (2.2.14), so I reinstall the mandrake)
but now , when I
telnet localhost 25
it doesn't give any SMTP banner or anything as usual.
all the qmail directories are NOT deleted, and are their own place.
I've tried to reinstall the qmail but it goes nothing.
if I NMAP the server then it tells that port 25 is opened
So how to fix this ?

After waiting for long time, the SMTP banner then up again
how this could be happened ?
so when I telnet localhost 25, I must wait about 3 minutes to wait until
the SMTP banner up. (qmail is ready)
how to fix this

A couple of things could be at work here:
1) Your mail server is running identd and its taking 3 minutes timing out
trying to determine your identity.
2) The IP address you are connecting from is not in DNS properly, so you are
timing out with DNS trying to do a reverse DNS Lookup.

Are you trying to get ident/auth information from the smtp connection?
If so and you denying packets to the ident/auth port, there can be
significant delays while the attempted connection to the ident/auth
server times out.

create a .qmail-user:name:pseudo file, and that should do it!

I've D/Led the c-client for Pine and followed the directions.
The problem is that it simply doesn't compile with pine4.21 and
the latest stable GCC. Is there anywhere I can D/L an already
patched source? All the links that I found in the archives seemed
to have dissapeard. I prefer a version of pine >4.0
I'm running solaris 7 with qmail 1.03 and gcc-2.8.1
*Sigh* I wish people would just learn to like mutt and be done
with it.
If you have a tar ball of a patched source I'd really appreciate it.
TIA
Aaron
Try ftp://158.195.33.220/pub/pine/, the pine-4.20-maildir.patch should be
the one. The rest are older patches included in this one.
Don't use the -sk.patch, it translates most of pine texts into Slovak,
wouldn't be of much use I'd say.

If both accounts are on the same pop server, on the same file-system, you
can move the messages with link/unlink. If they're on the same server,
but different file-systems, then move to tmp, link to new, unlink tmp will
move them.

Have you considered the qmail-inject program?
A little shell loop to inject the mails then move/remove them is all
that's needed.

Aber nat�rlich, here is a script to rewrite headers.
put this in your .qmail-file:

This is slightly off-topic, so I'm going to throw this into the ring
and interested parties should take it to private email. It relates to the
discussion of RPM-izing dnscache.
I've built a set of init scripts for redhat 6.1 (and presumably
other RH vers) that use daemontools through the RedHat initscripts
mechanism.
Currently, I've got 'service', 'dnscache', and 'qmail.' 'service'
controls svscan in /service. 'dnscache' uses 'svc' to manipulate
/service/dnscache, which is a link to /etc/dnscache, as is the default
install using dnscache-conf. 'qmail' uses 'svc' to manipulate
/service/qmail-smtpd and /service/qmail-send, which are links to supervise
trees as described in Dave Sill's "Life with qmail."
The idea is that when the system comes up, /etc/rc.d/init.d/service
gets called to get svscan/supervise up and running. Once that's been done,
the /etc/rc.d/init.d/dnscache and /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail scripts can use
'svc' to control everything rather simply.
I think it's a good balance between the default RedHat mechanism and
the way DJB-ware installs itself. The dnscache installation is unchanged -
this merely wraps the svc usage inside the more familiar (for some) RedHat
version of SysV init scripts.
The reason I'm posting this is because there's a lot of talk on the
dnscache list about wrapping dnscache in an RPM. Qmail + dnscache (appear
to me to be) a great combination; this makes it easier to use them in
concert and to use daemontools to its best advantage, while keeping the SysV
init method of system control. If someone is putting together a set of
RPMs, this might allow them to have a common control method.
If anyone is interested in looking/playing with these, drop me a
line.

Hi,
We are using Amavis-0.2.0-pre6-clm-rl-5 with qmail 1.03.
When sending or receiving email the server works fine, but since we have
installed Amavis any messages that are rejected (bounced via qmail-send?)
due to "no mailbox here by this name" errors are not bounced back to the
sender. But if we remove Amavis the bounced message is received ok by the
sender.
However if Amavis sends a bounce message due to a virus being discovered in
the email, the bounce message arrives ok.
We are running amavis by replacing the qmail-remote / qmail-local files with
a sym link to scanmails as recommended.
Any Ideas on how to resolve the problem ?
Thanks
Regards,
Michael East

Looks like a classic case of having DOS/Windows-style line endings in
a shell script, instead of Unix-style. Get rid of the ctrl-M characters
and it should work fine after that. Something like:
tr -d '\r' < oldfile > newfile
... should do the trick, if your favourite editor won't allow you to
remove them.

Judging from the output, bash.

Hello.
What is the difference between mail sent from my masqueraded/NAT server to my ISP's
mail server and my MUA masqueraded/NAT mail to their server ?
I'm wondering as the server is now getting '550 relaying to user is not allowed' ,
but when I send the same mail from the mua it does go out. I was using them as a smart
host as I have a dedicated connection.

http://www.opensourcegroup.com, http://www.johncon.com
I just started using qmail, for outgoing mail only.
(I'm on a DSL line, and the DSL ISP's mail servers are flakey.
Incoming mail -- via a different ISP that hosts my domain -- works
fine. Unfortunately, I can't use their outgoing SMTP server since I'm
not dialed in on one of their lines.)
Most of my email gets sent successfully (this post, for example). But
I've run into one site that bounces messages with a "Your SPAM not
welcome" error. I've noticed that vrfy reports the same error:
> vrfy -vv [EMAIL PROTECTED]
vrfy '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' at 'xyz.somewhere.gov'
connecting to xyz.somewhere.gov (x.y.z.w) port 25
<<< 220 xyz.somewhere.gov ESMTP Sendmail 8.9.3/8.9.3;
Wed, 29 Mar 2000 18:06:06 -0500 (EST)
>>> VRFY [EMAIL PROTECTED]
<<< 550 Your SPAM not welcome
Your SPAM not welcome
>>> QUIT
<<< 221 [EMAIL PROTECTED] closing connection
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ... User unknown
My qmail control files look like this:
defaultdomain foolabs.com
defaulthost foolabs.com
idhost foolabs.com
locals localhost.localdomain
me adsl-63-197-235-82.dsl.snfc21.pacbell.net
plusdomain foolabs.com
rcpthosts localhost.localdomain
Locals and rcpthosts are bogus, but this shouldn't matter for outgoing
mail, as I understand it. Me is ugly, but it's a valid host name that
resolves to my IP address.
Do I have a qmail configuration problem here?
The only other thing I've noticed is that xyz.somewhere.gov attempts
to talk to identd (port 113) on my system, which is being rejected by my
firewall. Is it common for people to configure sendmail to refuse to
accept mail from systems not running identd?

Derek, it's possible that the site you are trying to send mail to has
pacbell's DSL IP range in its filters, much like many ISP's filter out AOL
dialups, etc, etc. In this case, you may wish to make friends with someone
close that runs an SMTP server on non filtered space.

I've heard that some(?) of PacBell's mail servers are on the ORBS list.
I forgot to mention in my first email that I checked all of the public
spam lists I know of:
82.235.197.63.rbl.maps.vix.com
82.235.197.63.dialups.mail-abuse.org
82.235.197.63.relays.mail-abuse.org
82.235.197.63.relays.orbs.org
None of these are currently listing my IP address. Are there other
common ones I'm missing? (I suppose this site could be using their own
list, but it seems unlikely.)
Thanks for the quick response.

Okay now this one is really bugging me. I will spell it out once more:
Two locally delivered domains, "cia.com.au" and "ezeelynx.com.au" - both of
these *must* stay in "locals" and we *cannot* put them in "virtualdomains".
(If we could, this problem would be easily).
I have one particular user, who wants to receive [EMAIL PROTECTED] mail
but have [EMAIL PROTECTED] go elsewhere. I've tried creating a
.qmail-ezeelynx:com:au-username file in his home directory but it is
ignored.
Does *anyone* please have any suggestion on how to resolve this? Customer is
getting edgy :-]

It's ignored because it's meaningless in this situation. If someone sent mail
to [EMAIL PROTECTED], qmail would dutifully follow the
instructions contained in .qmail-ezeelynx:com:au-username.
> Does *anyone* please have any suggestion on how to resolve this? Customer is

This seems crude, and I hope someone can come up with something better, but you
could stick this in his .qmail file:
| condredirect [EMAIL PROTECTED] [ `echo "$RECIPIENT" | tr A-Z a-z` =
|"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ]
./Maildir/
I'm sure there's something terribly wrong with that, but it should work. The
better solution is to have a better understanding of virtual domains and
realize that you can indeed make one or the other of the domains virtual.
Reexamine your notion that 'both of these *must* stay in "locals" and we
*cannot* put them in "virtualdomains."'

Hi
I am testing qmail and have a problem in that the rcpthosts file is being
ignored.
For testing purposes I'm just running rc manually and using inetd for the
qmail-smtp.
Everything is installed in the default areas.
If I do a qmail-inject [EMAIL PROTECTED] the log simply says
starting delivery 12: msg 407854 to remote [EMAIL PROTECTED]
if I send to the same address via SMTP I get
starting delivery 13: msg 407860 to local @mail.mydns.com.au
(it has substituted control/me for the address and lost the recipient
completely).
This behaviour is expected when you have the RELAYCLIENT variable set right?
Well I don't have it set anywhere. Plus I have taken tcpserver out of the
picture anyway by using inetd for smtp. (/etc/hosts.allow is empty)
Yet it is still doing it. I just want the default behaviour back! :-)
It didn't always do this - when I first installed it is worked great (user fault
:-).
Any suggestions?
thanks

Hi again
I modified the source to qmail-smtpd.c and commented out all of the parts that
check for the relayclient environment variable. My problem of rcpthosts file
being skipped still occurs. The server is happily accepting rcpt to for any
domain.
I then hardcoded a return value into the addrallowed() function (r = 0) and sure
enough, I get the "553 sorry, not in my list of allowed rpcthosts" message.
So do I have a permission problem? do I have a problem with the format of this
file? I reran ./config to regenerate it..
Any suggestions?

I have found my problem. I have been talking to port 25 manually and haven't
used the proper notation, ie
rcpt to:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
instead i was doing rcpt to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
putting in the brackets fixes it.
Is this expected behaviour?

In response to my last post on this list, I got email from Joseph
Junkin saying that my mail looked really strange on his system.
Apparently, something is inserting blank lines into the header which
obviously screws things up. I'm attaching a sample below.
I'm using qmail for outgoing mail on my end, he's using qmail for
incoming mail on his end.
Oddly, if I use a different mailer (still going out through qmail) it
works ok. But I can't see any obvious problem in the headers from the
bad mailer. I even tried setting up the mailer to dump mail out
through 'qmail-inject -n' and the result looks fine (no blank lines).
If I send mail to another non-local account of mine, it looks fine.
I've sent mail to other people with no problems. As far as I can
tell, the problem only occurs if I use one specific mailer and send
mail to Joseph.
I also noticed that my two previous posts to this list didn't end up
in the www.ornl.gov archive. Maybe they're being discarded because of
the same problem?
I'm sending this post using the possibly-bad mailer, if anyone wants
to look at the headers.
If anyone has any clue on this, I'd really appreciate some hints.

Here's the message that Joseph forwarded back to me, with the weird
blank lines in the header:

Is there a way to store outgoing messages from a certain user?

What this world needs is a good five-dollar plasma weapon.
Hello,
I've got problems with sites that limit their message size.
One example site uses some kind of sendmail that also logs
the whole conversation. This is from the remote end:
03-29-2000.00:04:09 SMTPresponder-26115: << DATA
03-29-2000.00:04:09 SMTPresponder-26115: created temp file:
/var/spool/MHS2/SMTPresponder-SMTP-in/TEMP.6603.38e18ec9.7fb90.1
03-29-2000.00:04:09 SMTPresponder-26115: >> 354 Enter mail, end with "." on a line by
itself
03-29-2000.00:19:26 SMTPresponder-26115: size of data portion from 192.168.2.2
exceeded maximum
03-29-2000.00:19:26 SMTPresponder-26115: >> 552 message size exceeds maximum message
size
03-29-2000.00:19:26 SMTPresponder-26115: 192.168.2.2 did not send <CR><LF>.<CR><LF>,
message discarded
Locally I get:
03-29-2000.00:19:27.702631 delivery 4: deferral:
Connected_to_192.168.1.1_but_connection_died._(#4.4.2)/
Looking into the (1.03) source I think the problem must be somewhere in
qmail-remote.c or qmail-send.c where it doesn't seem to see the actual
return code (mangled in saferead()?) and only pass a temporary error
upwards. OTOH I didn't dig deep enough into qmail to actually fix this,
and also would like further confirmation for this problem.
I would like to see qmail bouncing this mail immediately stating to
the sender that the message was too big instead of trying the
message again and again to no avail except filling the pipe.
Has anyone else run into this problem? How did you solve this?
Best Regards,
--Toni++

A customer of ours was having the same problem a couple of months ago.
I managed to get hold of a top AOL person who pointed me to the Postmaster
(i.e. the real person, not postmaster@) who fixed the problem.
Official line is: We know what it is and can fix specific domains (that
email is sent from). It is embarrasing, but we can't say what the problem
is.
Keep pushing AOL and it'll get fixed.
Paul.
