Hi all,
I have instaled qmail with the spamcontrol 1.0.6 patch with the
qmail-bounce.patch and the qmail-1.03-mfcheck.3.patch.
The problem is that the single addresses in badrcptto are not
refused until the next rcpt.
The sequence of a session is like this.
bash-2.03# telnet mx.domain.com smtp
Trying 212.0.104.79...
Connected to mx.domain.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mx.domain.com ESMTP

250 ok

250 ok
rcpt to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
455 sorry, your envelope recipient is in my badrcptto list (#5.7.1)
Is it a bug in the spamcontrol patch or am I doing somthing wrong?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
thanks for the hint,
my decision to put the parsing at that line in the code was bad.
However, the problem only occours with multiple RCPT TO:
I will change that in the next release.
Thanks for the hint anyway.
regards.
eh.

Hi
I have some users on a qmail mail system. It works very well, but some
have requested a facility to make an auto-reply function for whenever
they are on vacation.
Does anybody know a solution for this, taking into account that the user
should be able to update the reply and dates (and they are only mail
users, not shell users) and that it preferably should run with virtual
mail uders ?
Thanks in advance.
HI
you can check out www.qmail.org
get the vaccation or autoresponse package from the site and install it.

That's a strange format for the .qmail file names - where is that formatted?

Matthew Harrell writes:

Yup. IMHO, qmail should send mail to postmaster if it finds the same
domain in locals and virtualdomains. This is NEVER correct. It is
equally wrong to have an alias which matches a user. The user always
overrides the alias.
My qmail-lint program checks for these errors, but it only helps if
you run it.

Do you mean documented? I think you might be slightly lysdexic. I
have it too, you see. Sometimes the meaning in words I read or write
spills over between word boundaries. I can usually catch it by
re-reading what I wrote. Of course, if you're reading Harry Potter or
Narnia or Swallows and Amazons or All Creatures Great and Small out
loud to the family, it's too late, and they laugh at you. :)
It's documented in qmail-local.8. A dot gets changed into a colon
when qmail-local searches for .qmail filename matching the extension.

Yep, with me it happens when I try to do too many things at once with a
headache. I really need to learn to reread that stuff I type but I don't
think that even helps sometimes.

Got it. Thanks. I was just checking the dot-qmail page.
It seems to work well, though, so I'll have to remember that one in the
future.

The thing is, I have set QMAILINJECT to sf, which should cause qmail-inject
to ignore the incoming From: and Return-Path: fields. Glancing through the
code (in qmail-inject.c), I can't see why this doesn't work. My only guess is
that my environment doesn't get passed to qmail-inject when it's invoked by
sendmail, but does get passed when I invoke qmail-inject directly. Does
sendmail run as a different user ID or something? The executable's not setuid
or setgid.

ucspi-tcp installs like this:
tar xfz ucspi-tcp-0.88.tar.gz
make install
This is NOT rocket science. But still, to answer your question, no,
you can use inetd, but why would you want to bother? inetd is harder
to use than tcpserver, by far. Just trying to wrap my head around
inetd's "You must supply argument 0 for the command as well as the
path to the command unless you use the default path (which varies from
vendor to vendor)" gives me a headache. Just writing it *down* gives
me the shudders.

You certainly *can* use inetd, but I don't recommend it for the
following reasons:
1) Documentation on installing with inetd is scarce.
2) The use of inetd is "unsupported".
3) Daemontools and ucspi-tcp work better than inetd and syslog.
4) If you install with inetd+syslog and decide to switch to
daemontools+ucspi-tcp, you pretty have to reinstall. Building and
installing daemontools+ucspi-tcp is *very* easy.
-Dave
Wou, you've all certainly encouraged me to get rid of inetd!!! I'll do that
then... should I mind for other applications/services that use inetd
installed in my server before switching to ucsi-tcp or is it completely
"transparent" to them??
Thanks!

As long as inetd is not configured to listen to the ports you want
tcpserver to listen to, the two coexist peacefully.
It helps to understand the basic difference in the way they work:
inetd takes a configuration file (/etc/inetd.conf) which tells it a
list of ports to listen to, and an associated program to run when traffic
comes in. When inetd start up it binds to all those ports, and listens.
tcpserver takes a command line argument which tells it what (single)
port to listen to, and an associated program to run when traffic comes in.
If you want to run multiple services, you need multiple running tcpserver
processes.
If inetd.conf tells it to listen to the smtp port, and then you run
tcpserver to listen to smtp port, then tcpserver won't be able to run
because the port already has a listener. Which leads back to my first
paragraph ;>.
I have a system now that's not using inetd for anything. All it
runs are qmail, identd, and dnscache under tcpserver, ssh and ftpd in
standalone mode.

gowen -- Greg Owen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
So, if I only want qmail to work with ucsi-tcp (and viceversa) I could keep
inetd for the other services, but should indicate it NOT to listen to the
smtp no pop3 port. Did I catch you right?
Thanks,
Esteban Javier Pr�spero

Not really. Tar is one of those inconsistent commands, like find, or

have to follow, but merely in the same order. Options that don't have

GNU tar allows you to specify z for a gzipped tarball -- no need to
separately gzip/gunzip it.
If you don't want to install GNU tar, just do:
gunzip name.tar.gz
tar xf name.tar

Just tried it and you're right. I tried it once on an older version of
tar and it looked for the file 'z'.

If you mean that you should tell inetd NOT to listen to the SMTP port (25)
AND that it should NOT listen to the POP3 port (110) either, then you've
got it exactly right. For that matter, you can even have inetd listen to
port 110 and run qmail-pop3d when a connection comes in on that port. I've
got a machine that runs like that with no problem (although the invocation
line in inetd.conf is pretty hairy).

The z option says 'decompress'.
If your Solaris doesn't get it, this is a pretty generic one:
gzip -cd ucspi-tcp-0.88.tar.gz | tar xf -

Hi list :
Is there any way to disable outside access to some local users, so they can
only send mail to the local domain, and in the same way, to disable them
from receiving from the Internet.
Thanks.
Eduardo.
I think my CNAME LOOKUP FAILURE is caused by router...
In fact my mail server's got 192.168.0.x IP and exit on internet throught
the router as 147.123.X.X.
So QMAIL gives CNAME LOOKUP FAILURE sending mails to remote hosts.
Is correct my idea?
How to solve this problem?
Sendmail works instead!
Best regards,
Miguel Beccari

Your trigger is probably screwed up. Read "Life with qmail" or do a
"make setup check".

It looks like someone renamed or moved the queue. Download queue-fix
from www.qmail.org, run it, and you should see those messages get delivered
succesfully.

Yes this is true, however his DNS setup is indeed broken. Trying to
get an A record for movielink.net.au returns SERVFAIL, not merely
NXDOMAIN (no such domain).

Even our qmail server (with UCE patches) would reject his mail.

There we go. I only looked for valid MX'ng. I also get the error you report
albiet via nslookup and debug=1.
Anthony if you are still reading, this should be your solution. Fix you DNS

That is what I thaught...
2 domains that do consistently not work are 'guestmail.net' and 'is.com.fj'
when I have reverse lookup set to 'mail.movielink.net.au'.

'guestmail.net' and 'is.com.fj'
I have got my ISP to change the reverse lookup to 'movielink.net.au'.
I dont know if this is valid but at least it the IP '139.130.11.172'
should reverse lookup to 'movielink.net.au' (Qmail still says HELO
'mail.movielink.net.au' which results in a message that it may
be forged but at least it should not stop things)
Now the "MAIL From:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" should result in an OK
response if the receiving SMTP server looks up the IP address.

I will repeat how my mail works:
================================
1. All mail sent to the domain 'movielink.net.au' gets
pointed to the machine 'mail.movielink.net.au' via
an MX record with priority 20.
2. The IP address of 'mail.movielink.net.au' is listed
in an A record in the DNS. The IP address is
'203.44.8.251'.
3. The 'movielink.net.au' domain is hosted at
the DNS '203.2.193.124'.
4. Using nalookup in default mode fails if looking
up 'movielink.net.au'.
5. All mail is received just fine at our site.
6. All outgoing mail is sent via qmail-smtpd to
our firewall and "masqueraded" onto the internet
IP address '139.130.11.172'.
7. Qmail sais "HELO mail.movielink.net.au" and the receiver
replies ....xxx(may be forged).
Reverse lookup on IP '139.130.11.172' set to 'movielink.net.au'.
================================================================
'telnet guestmail.net 25' and used the 'HELO movielink.net.au'
then 'MAIL From:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
This fails with error "451 Sender domain must resolve..."
'telnet guestmail.net 25' and used the 'HELO mail.movielink.net.au'
then 'MAIL From:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
This fails with error "451 Sender domain must resolve..."
'telnet guestmail.net 25' and used the 'HELO mail.movielink.net.au'
then 'MAIL From:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
This fails with error "451 Sender domain must resolve..."
Reverse lookup on IP '139.130.11.172' set to 'mail.movielink.net.au'.

Well, it seems pretty straightforward to me, a humble end user... here
is a query:
gandalf:~$ dig @ns0.me1.aone.net.au movielink.net.au
; <<>> DiG 8.2 <<>> @ns0.me1.aone.net.au movielink.net.au
; Bad server: ns0.me1.aone.net.au -- using default server and timer opts
; (2 servers found)

;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0
;; QUERY SECTION:

;; WHEN: Fri Apr 14 21:44:05 2000
;; MSG SIZE sent: 34 rcvd: 34
IMHO, returning SERVFAIL is a Bad Thing(TM). I do not by any means
consider myself either a DNS or SMTP wizard, but I would think that when
the SMTP server tries to resolve movielink.net.au, it should get some
sort of answer, not either of SERVFAIL or NXDOMAIN*. For example, Mr.
Bernstein's domain:
gandalf:~$ dig cr.yp.to
; <<>> DiG 8.2 <<>> cr.yp.to
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 4
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0

cr.yp.to. 0S IN A 131.193.178.181
;; Total query time: 922 msec
;; FROM: gandalf to SERVER: default -- 127.0.0.1
;; WHEN: Fri Apr 14 21:49:56 2000
;; MSG SIZE sent: 26 rcvd: 42
So, it looks to me as if the domain name must resolve to an A record.
* I believe it was mentioned earlier in the list that perhaps if the DNS
answered authoritatively that there was no such animal as
movielink.net.au, the lookup would then fall back to the MX record's
name, mail.movielink.net.au. I cannot be sure if that is the case,
having always made sure that the domain name resolved to an A record.

Oops. Finger trouble. The NS in my original post is mistyped. My
apologies.
However, the correctly typed server name still returns SERVFAIL.

Using your knowledge of mime format, or else using Russell's code as a
base (since it already contains the code to find the various parts),
make a program that decides if a message contains html or not. Then
use that program in conjunction with bouncesaying (part of the qmail
package) in your .qmail file. This is a per-user solution rather than
a system-wide solution.

Thanks, good point. Haven't needed bouncesaying before this.

hello!
i'm trying to send a list message inside a perl program. we have qmail on
our server, i was wondering if anyone knew how to do this. i have no
problem sending an email using perl, but i was wondering if there is a
flag i can give to qmail to say: "hey, send this messsage to the people in
this list: /home/justin/www/cgi-bin/lovely_people.list
i'd rather not have to keep all the people on the list in a .qmail file,
that would make the perl script i'm working less likely to be portable and
that means more work for me, and i'm a lazy perl programmer. any help
would be great, if any one can give me some info to do this with sendmail,
that would also be keen. i think the path to sendmail goes to qmail
anyways on my system ;)
thanks again

thats how its doing it now ;) but i'd rather have qmail or sendmail handle
that for me,
1)it's probably more efficient for qmail to do the dirty work
2)this list has about 1000 people, and it takes more than a couple minutes
for perl to go through that all,making my program look like its hanging

So why not just make an alias with all the addresses in it, and have your
perl script send one mail to that alias?
ln -s /home/justin/www/cgi-bin/lovely_people.list
/var/qmail/alias/.qmail-listname
Then:
#!/usr/bin/perl
&send_mail_to('[EMAIL PROTECTED]');

You could consider using QMQP to send the mail. Then you just have to pass
one copy of the message and a list of RCPTS. I do this to send email to
40000+ people and it works great.

Short of installing exmlm-idx as was mentioned, why not just include all the
users on the command line something like this:
open (LIST,"/home/justin/www/cgi-bin/lovely_people.list") or
die "Couldn't open LIST: $!";
open (MAIL, "|/var/qmail/bin/qmailinject " . join(' ', <LIST>) or
die "Couldn't open pipe to qmailinject: $!";
print MAIL $mailmessage;
close(MAIL) or die "Couldn't close pipe to qmailinject: $!";
close(LIST);
[ Not tested, of course...you may need to chomp the lines from the file or
something... ]

Hi All,
I know this is not exactly the place to write, but I'm sure you all can help me with
this simple question: I have a list and want only 5 people to write to that list, and
not the others. And it should be moderated. I'm using ezmlm-0.53. How can I do that? I
checked in www.ezmlm.org and could find the answer.
Thanks!!!!

Isn't it handled by qmail-send and isn't it documented as an
extention?
Since the processing happens prior to any involvement by standards,
such as RFCs, isn't it a local processing feature rather than
a bug? That it's inband signalling may not be so great, but that
doesn't make it a bug.
Regards.
I've been working on getting a version of qmail to work on BeOS. I
won't call it porting as the changes required are too great at present
(should be possible with the networking stack). I have a couple of
questions that maybe one of you guru's can asnwer?
When a new message is delivered to queue/mess/** how does qmail-send
get told to do something about it?
How is the message cleaned up and removed once it's been delivered?
These two bits don't work for me, but it delivers messages fine if I
restart qmail-send, but as it doesn't remove them it keeps delivering
them every time I restart!! Not ideal.
Anyway, your help will be appreciated.

Look at INTERNALS in the build directory. The "trigger" named pipe is
how qmail-queue notifies qmail-send of a new message. qmail-clean,
called by qmail-send, cleans the queue.

Well, we use it for some internal servers that that I've written myself.
I wrote my servers in C, and have them reading/writing to stdin/stdout.
On the other end I have VB applications talking to them through the Send
and Get methods of the Winsock control. They pass messages back and
forth using a text API that we defined. It's a rather beautiful harmony
of Unix and NT.

(If I'm being stupid, just slap my hand and put me to bed without my dinner)
"You have mail." appears every time I log into my server. This would
normally be no big deal, except that the only mail message is the "Mail
system internal data" message. Before QMail, this one message wouldn't set
off the "You have mail" message. Do I have something mis-configured?
Thanks

I'm running Red Hat 6.1 and qmail 1.03. I have followed LWQ step by step.
However, I am unable to get qmail to start when the system starts. I have
done all of the rcX.d links just as LWQ specifies and I have no problem
running the "qmail start" command from the command line. Qmail starts just
as it should. But it will not start at boot-up. There is no indication in
/var/log/messages that the system even tried to execute the startup script,
no mention of qmail what so ever. The startup script was working on the
first Linux box I installed Qmail on and now I am installing a second box
and cannot get it to work. I have spent all day comparing the configurations
of the two boxes and can find no differences. What I did try was adding
"ln -s ../init.d/qmail /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S80qmail" . When I did this qmail
started when the system was rebooted. This is not in LWQ and I was wondering
if it might cause a problem? I'm new to Linux and unsure of the
consequences. What could I be missing? Suggestions on what I might be
causing my problem?
Thank you,

One is the latest version of ucspi-tcp. The second is ucspi-tcp-run,

I have successfully installed QMAIL (memphis RPM) and it is running but I need
help with configuring the thing. I need to get Win 98 clients to be able to
send/recieve mail so i think that this means pop mail access.
My domain has a web (IIS/NT domain controller) server host, a mail
(linux/qmail) server host and Win98 (NT Domain clients) workstations. My ISP's
DNS servers are authoritative for my domain.
After reading all the doc i could find, I still have several quesitons:
1. How do I create mail accounts to support pop3 access? is it system accounts
on the mail server or qmail 'managed' accounts? Howto in either case?
2. Do I need to convert to Maildir from Mailbox to support pop authentication?
Do I need to install checkpassword utility? howto in either case?
3. Can I use MS Outlook at the Win98 clients to send / recieve mail via pop3
4. What DNS entries does my ISP have to make on the authoritative DNS for my
domain.
The DNS entries at my ISP are currently:
www.mydomain.com IPADDRESS A
mail.mydomain.com IPADDRESS B
mydomain.com IPADDRESS B
>From reading, I believe I need an MX record as follows:
MX mydomain.com IPADDRESS B
Any help is appreciated.
BTW is there a book out on qmail?

You got it. (IMAP is a possibility, I suppose, but there are a great
variety of Windows clients that support POP3, and people are used to them.)
>1. How do I create mail accounts to support pop3 access? is it system
>accounts on the mail server or qmail 'managed' accounts? Howto in either case?
Either is possible. If you don't have too many users, system accounts on
the qmail machine is a fine way to go. Alternatively, you can use something
like the vpopmail system, available from http://www.inter7.com/vpopmail/.
However, if you're just running one domain, and have less than, say, a
hundred users, this is probably overkill.
Anyway, I have never used vpopmail and wouldn't even begin to think about
supporting someone else on its use. For normal system accounts, just create
the accounts in whatever way is standard for your system. (Probably
/usr/sbin/useradd or its moral equivalent -- use the man page to find out
about useful switches for useradd.)
NOTE: You may want to hold off on creating those accounts until you've set
up your skel directory, especially if you'll be delivering into Maildirs
(see below).
>2. Do I need to convert to Maildir from Mailbox to support pop
>authentication? Do I need to install checkpassword utility? howto in
>either case?
You only *need* to convert to Maildir if you're planning to use Qmail's
supplied POP3 daemon (qmail-pop3d). It only understands Maildirs. If you
feel like downloading and installing a different POP3 daemon, such as
Qualcomm's qpopper or UW-IMAP, you can stick with mailbox delivery. Again,
I use qmail-pop3d, so further advice is predicated on that.
Using qmail-pop3d, you do need to use checkpassword to authenticate users.
(I *think* that's still the case with the others, too, but I'm not positive.)
Dave Sill's Life With Qmail (http://Web.InfoAve.Net/~dsill/lwq.html) has
good instructions on setting up qmail-pop3d, in section 5.2.1.
If you want to use Maildirs, you'll probably want to set up your server so
that all new user accounts automatically get created with a proper Maildir
setup already in them. (Otherwise, qmail will defer all mail to any user
without a Maildir, for obvious reasons.) The easy way to do this is to do
something like:
maildirmake /etc/skel
where /etc/skel is the usual location of the default user home-dir setup
files, and maildirmake may need to be preceded by the path to the
executable (usually /var/qmail/bin). Check on your system to be sure of the
appropriate locations.
Once you've set up a Maildir in the skel directory, all new user accounts
created after that will automatically have a Maildir in their home dirs,
and will receive mail naturally.
>3. Can I use MS Outlook at the Win98 clients to send / recieve mail via pop3
Sure. You can also use Eudora, Netscape Mail, PegasusMail, and any other
mail client that speaks POP3. The server doesn't care. You can even have
each user use a different one.

I am not a DNS expert, but that looks reasonable to me, except that you'll
want there to be an MX value as well -- usually around 10 for the primary
MX. If you have a backup MX designated, that would usually be 20.

It's in the works.

From the Jargon File: (v4.0.0, 25 Jul 1996)
finger trouble /n./
Mistyping, typos, or generalized keyboard incompetence (this is
surprisingly common among hackers, given the amount of time they
spend at keyboards). "I keep putting colons at the end of statements
instead of semicolons", "Finger trouble again, eh?".
I am using Qmail on a virtual web server, and would like bounced messages to
use the domain they were sent to in the bounced messages, following this
line:
"This is the qmail-send program at VIRTUAL DOMAIN HERE".
I am guessing this is a tough trick, as I did a little searching, and didn't
seem to find anything. I'm using Paul Gregg's checkpassword.
Any and all help appreciated.

A while back, I found a great web based POP client that had spell check
which used Ispell.
I can't seem to find it. I believe it used Maildir directly.
Anyone have any idea as to what this program was?
Thanks,
