Hi all,
From time to time I used to administrate a Linux
system whith qmail, so I subscribed to this list. I found it very useful, but
now my needs have changed, so I guess how to leave the list. Could anyone help
me?
Thanks in advantage,
Carles Latorre.

What will qmail do if I do this
helo testing
mail from: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ok
rcpt to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ok
data
.
Of course it can't sent to the rcpt address but it also can't bounce the
message back to the sender, then what will qmail do ?
can it delete the message automatically then ?

The "double bounce" will go to postmaster, or whatever address you have in
control/doublebounceto. Look for doublebounceto in the qmail-send man page.

Hello there,
is it possible to configure qmail to send out a "temporary failure" message
or something if mail can't be delivered rightaway?
One of our users had an important mail in the queue which was returned to
him only 7 days later ('cause of a DNS failure), way too late... Some
failure messages inbetween would be quite helpful.
Regards!

There are some links to Maildir-patches for Pine/c-client on www.qmail.org

Hello. This may be just a OpenBSD problem...I'm not sure.
When I add this and try and write, it says it is corrupted, but for the life of me, I
can't see why.
Anyone else with OpenBSD ?

in the current ports tree of OpenBSD, there is already port of
qmail and a couple of related with it packages

Firstly I would change to Maildir format,
Then in your /etc/skel file I would do
setuser root /var/qmail/bin/maildirmake /etc/skel/
There after all users added to the system will have a Maildir

``gnus'', the news and mail reader in xemacs or gnu-emacs handles
maildirs as one of its retrieval methods.

It would sometimes be helpful if qmail-smtpd did some logging to
stderr. As an example, if an ISP has added some IP addresses to its
modem pool, and the sysadmin failed to add that network to
/etc/smtp.txt, and he has gone off with a church group to play the
bass guitar for two weeks (just as an example), it can be quite
difficult to debug. You have to get a customer to record the IP
address they've been assigned when they get the "... not listed in my
rcpthosts" message. If they only have one phone line, and they've
called to complain that they can't send email, well, they've already
hung up the phone. And their stupid Windoze software hasn't logged
anything like the IP address, it just pops up a dialog box explaining
why it can't relay the email out. Yeah, you could try to educate your
customers on diagnosing your own problem, but why bother? They don't
want to be educated (that's what they pay you to do), they just want
their probelm fixed.
I modified qmail-smtpd to log that error message to stderr. That told
me the new network, and I enabled many customers to have a happy Easter.

Sounds like you are running qmail-ldap... ;-)

Ok. Hmmmm... I've never had this problem, mind you I usually use my ISP's
SMTP server to send mail rather than qmail, but I have tried it and it has
worked.

I don't know Miguel... I'm not an expert with qmail (far from it!) and
I'm not not sure what your problem could be. All I know is it has to be
*something* because if you followed Life with Qmail (which I did this last
time), and did it via tarball (which I also did), then there's something
else wrong. I know it's not Mandrake because my system works, but as to
what it could be, I wouldn't even know where to begin looking.

Hello. I just setup a server for my father and I installed qmail because
I use it here and it works great. His situation is a little different
from my own, however. POP3 works great starting from inetd, but qmail
gives errors. The error I get is:
tcpserver: fatal: unable to figure out port number for geceventures.com
I'm starting qmail-smtpd with:
#!/bin/sh
QMAILUID=`id -u qmaild`
NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild`
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 2000000 \
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -p -x /etc/tcprules.d/smtpd.cdb \
-u $QMAILUID -g $NOFILESGID geceventures.com 25 \
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1
I installed it via tarball on Mandrake 7. Again, we're behind a firewall,
so I think that has something to do with it (otherwise it's nearly
identical to my own working setup).
The IP address that the server is on is 10.1.1.2, and the IP address for
the firewall is 10.1.1.1 locally and something else for the outside
internet (I forget off-hand). I use ipmasqadm to forward ports 25 and 110
to 10.1.1.2.
Orginially the "25" was "smtp", but I hard-coded everything hoping it
might work that way, but no dice.
Any idea why this isn't working and possibly some tips on how to get it to
work? I'm not sure how qmail operates in this sort of situation knowing
it's stringent environment checking on DNS, MX records, and so
forth. We'd really like to get this up and running, but my father is very
new to Linux so I'm administering it for him until he learns enough to do
it himself. Any help would be appreciated.

In my experience, that error is caused when the value you enter for the port
isn't listed in /etc/services

Does "geveventures.com" resolve to an IP address?
Change "geceventures.com" to the IP address of the interfce you wish
to bind to, or make it 0 if you would like to bind to all available
interfaces.
The tcpserver doco says:
tcpserver opts host port prog
...
The server's address is given by host and port. port may be a name
from /etc/services or a number; if it is 0, tcpserver will choose a
free TCP port. host may be 0, allowing connections to any local IP
address; or a dotted-decimal IP address, allowing connections only
to that address; or a host name, allowing connections to the first
IP address for that host. Host names are fed through qualification
using dns_ip4_qualify.
...

Peter

hi,
i have a couple of questions:
1. The following is the assign file i have. here the first field is the mail
address, 2nd user name(linux
user).
my problem is i am able to recieve mails sent to both the linux user
and the mailaddress (in my
case [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED]). whereas i want to
recieve mails
addressed to madhav only (ie those addressed to mail addresses only).
[root@server1 users]# cat /var/qmail/users/assign
=madhav:msp:510:503:/home/msp:::
=ramkumar:ram:509:503:/home/ram:::
=mail-admin:admin:511:503:/home/admin:::
=sugesstions:cod1:512:504:/coda/qmail/home/cod1:::
[root@server1 users]#
2. my mail clients will be accessing mails only through pop and smtp for
receiving and sending mails. for every mail user is it mandatory to
create a linux user? i actually have about 350 users using mails in
my domain(proposed) that would mean i have to create 350 linux users and in
their home directories i have to create a Maildir. is there any
way by which i can overcome this?
Thanks in advance
when i install mess822 package, does it automatically call the
program from qmail-inject or do i have to add something in order to
activate the thing ?
thanks

We have a lot of our customers who don't have mail from lines in their

I'm already running tcpserver and already allow those IP's to relay thru my

I Am already using sendmail on my linux box....
I want to now use Qmail on another linux box and give
my sendmail users the webmail access using sqwebmail
or some other webmail access...
Is there some feasibility for doing so...
Thanks in advance.

I was wondering if it there is a way of running both message
logging as well as scanning for viruses.
I have a client that runs message logging on all outgoing
and incoming email. When I renamed qmail-queue to
a different name and renamed the scan4virus perl script
to qmail-queue and called the original qmail-queue from
it, I ran into warnings on incoming email, I suspect
because I was using the message logging as well as the
virus scanning.
I was wondering if anyone else is running both message
logging as well as scan4virus at the same time. If so, I'd
appreciate knowing how this is done.
When I tried just running the scan4virus script with HBEV
and McAfee, set up as described above, I got the following
Warning message.
Remote host said: Warning: Cannot freopen /dev/tty to stdin250 ok 955941558 qp
367
The system has been running Qmail-1.03 for quite some time now with
message logging flawlessly and the above message (and others like it)
occured only after attempting to use scan4virus. As soon as I returned
to using the original qmail-queue without scan4virus, the warning messages
on incoming email stopped.
I was wondering if there is a way of eliminating the warning message
and have both message logging as well as virus scanning.
Thanks in advance,
Harley Silver
