pine and propably your pop3 deamon are not supporting Maildir mbox formats
- for pine there is a patch at http://www.qmail.org/ [or use another
fine MUA like mutt ] and qmail distribution comes with an Maildir-based
pop3 deamon [check qmail-popup, qmail-pop3d and checkpassword man pages]
anyway you can always setup qmail to deliver messages to plaintext mbox -
do to this copy /var/qmail/boot/home to /var/qmail/rc

afaik leenoox systems also have skel system - try making maildir in
/usr/share/skel directory [works under *BSD]

Kaspersky Labs has a qmail antivirus package in beta right now,
expecting to start testing on with it really soon now.
The URL for kaspersky labs is http://www.kaspersky.ru

You don't have the address in the envelope recipient but the whole from

afaik only dots are translated into : for local aliases. i guess that all
characters legal for user part in email address/filenames should work :)

Have you tried "man dot-qmail"?

Perfect, thanks. I had, in fact, tried to read through dot-qmail
carefully both yesterday and today, because that's where it logically
should have been. But I didn't find it either time. By spelling out
"colon", it spoiled my search strategy.

Hello,
I am using qmail with Mailbox instead of Maildir.
Sending and chekcing mail locally using elm, mail, pine etc works great.
But when I connect via ipop3d it always tells me that I have no mail.
It is reading from /var/spool/mail as oposed /home/user/Mailbox.
So I was going to install qmail-pop but reading the manuals it seems as if
that is ONLY for Maildir scenarios.
what did I miss. i know it's something stupid cuz I think I had it working
a few hours ago.
thanks,
marcelo

propably you need to recomile ipop3d to use ~user/Mailbox instead of
/var/spool/mail/user [i am unfamiliar with this pop3 deamon] -
for procmail and cucipop pop3 deamon you had to edit authenticate.c file
and set apropriate definition

Assuming that the ipop3d you're using is from UWash IMAP, you can
get it working by editing src/osdep/unix/env_unix.c and replacing
sprintf (tmp,"%s/%s",MAILSPOOL,myusername ());
in the function sysinbox() (around line 645 in imap-4.7) with
sprintf (tmp,"%s/Mailbox",myhomedir ());
and recompiling.

fastforward is not working alongwith vpopmail/mysql auth
in my Redhat 6.1 system for virtual domains.
Mails are getting lost.
I can't even receive mail for the user ks which otherwise
was working fine without fastforward. Always there are no messages.
My settings are as per fastforward documentation.
I verified the /etc/aliases settings and the forwarding
from the shell prompt using env DEFAULT= HOST=method
mentioned in fastforward doc. the alias is pointing
to the correct email address.
The settings....
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:ks
in /etc/aliases
ksamy.com:ks in /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains
|fastforward -d /etc/aliases.cdb in
ksamy.com/ks/.qmail-default file.
ks is the user created through vadddomain and is written
in mysql table.
Will fastforward work with vpopmail/mysql auth ?
Or will fastforward always look for the "user" in /etc/passwd
and not in mysql table created by vpopmail ?
How to make fastforward work in this situation ?
I would prefer /etc/aliases system than maintaining too many
.qmail files.
Please help

hi there-
I know this has been asked on the list before, but after
searching the list archives thoroughly, I was not able to find a
solution to this problem. I've installed qmail 1.03 on Debian 2.2,
running a 2.2.14 kernel, and the install went fine. I am to the
point now in the documentation where I am to run the commands in
TEST.deliver. The very first one (the local-local delivery) fails
with the error "qmail-inject: fatal: unable to exec qq" when I try
the command 'echo to: eric | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject'. So far
I've already executed instcheck and it doesn't complain about
anything. I've tried an strace on qmail-inject, entered "to: eric"
when it gets to the read() syscall, and it fails on this line:
write(4, "Date: 30 Apr 2000 19:16:49 -0000"..., 146) = -1 EPIPE (Broken Pipe)
So does anyone have any idea how to fix this? I can call qmail-queue
directly, and it doesn't fail, it just sits there (waiting for input
i suppose, I'm not familiar w/ running qmail-queue directly). But it
certainly doesn't barf and prevent me from running it. So I'm
assuming that qmail-queue has ok permissions. What could this be?
Here's some info on my setup:
qmail 1.03
using dot-forward
using fastforward
using procmail (for /var/spool/mail delivery)
Any help on this would be vastly appreciated. I've been pulling my
hair out over this for the last 3 days. Thanks!
Best Regards-
Eric Jennings

We use the fastforward package with an aliases file for virtual domains.
Example virtual domain as specified in /etc/aliases:
######################################################################
# Virtual account for 'abc'
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:chans3_abc
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:chand_abc
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:kaiserk_abc
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:chanc_abc
(this line catches all other addresses)@abc.dev.salu.com:info_abc
######################################################################
We also use a wildcard entry in /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains to
forward the mail from virtual domains to an account which handles them:
.dev.salu.com:virtual
And a .qmail-default file in the 'virtual' home directory:
| fastforward -d /etc/aliases.cdb

Hello,
I have come down to my last obstacle.
Sending mail remotely.
The machine name where I isntalled qmail is mail.stgo.cl, stgo.cl resolved
to another IP.
When I try to send an email to a remote host I get the following:
/home/miturbe:> telnet 0 25
Trying 0.0.0.0...
Connected to 0.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mail.stgo.cl ESMTP
mail from:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
250 ok
rcpt to:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1)
quit
221 mail.stgo.cl
Connection closed by foreign host.
In control/defaultdomain I have "stgo.cl"
In control/locals I have stgo.cl and mail.stgo.cl
In control/me I have stgo.cl and mail.stgo.cl
both control/plusdomain and rcpthosts are empty...
I tried to place stgo.cl and mail.stgo.cl in both files but it did not
work either.
I would like to configure it so that it will accept mail from anyone
whos "mail from:" is mail.santiago.cl or santiago.cl, regardless where
they are in the world.
Thanks again...

That would be one way of implementing "selective" relaying, but it
wouldn't turn out to be very selective, since anyone can claim to be
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and thereby get their spam relayed. And qmail
would not be able to prevent it, because there is no way to validate the
sender address.
Instead, see http://www.palomine.net/qmail/selectiverelay.html for a
solution based on IP addresses, which makes it harder to spoof.
-- Bob Rogers
your problem is that msm.cl isn't in your rcpthosts file. the contents of the "from"
field are completely vague; and more
importantly, easily forged. it is my belief, that this is the reason qmail provides no
option to enable the behavior of some
broken mailers that actually look at the from: address during smtp, let alone do
anything with it.
in short, mailers simply can't trust it's value. so it doesn't make for a good way to
allow selective relaying.
i've seen three really usable ways that people can allow selective relaying. whether
or not any of them are a good idea
largely depends on your situation.
1) pop3 authentication. the pop3 server remembers the ip address of the client
device, and somehow passes
information to the smtp server to enable relaying for that IP address.
obvious PRO: clients don't need to be changed.
obvious CON: i have no idea why this is a con, but for some reason, it
seems to be so complicated for the
human being. they can't seem to figure out that netscape and outlook express always
send first, and they have to explicitly
check mail first!
2) pop3 command XTND XMIT.
obvious PRO: no second connection necessary!
obvious CON: needs a custom client. I am looking for one of these
(preferably for windows and/or macos)
-- anyone want to let me know of one?
3) smtp authentication. there IS a password-based authentication mechanism for
SMTP. i believe its origins are in
netscape's smtp server, and like other things in netscape: it's misdocumented to hell.
anyway, the more often-used clients
for windows/mac/X are supportive of this function.
obvious PRO: no second connection necessary! AND there are patches to
qmail to do this at
http://www.nimh.org/code.shtml
obvious CON: none really. except for the obvious that it is sent
cleartext. of course, you're already using
pop3....
You can use a combination of the above. I have a kit for pop3 based authentication on
my website (Www.nimh.org) and i
use it with a similar kit for smtp authentication on the same site.
I hope this helps...

Is there a way to limit the file size for attachments by
user name. Currently I have
# cat /var/qmail/control/databytes
5000000
and there is one user who wants to send a file thats ~20M. Is
there a way to do this?
Thanks all.

possibly, if that guy uses the same IP address every time:
set $DATABYTES (see the qmail-smtpd manual page) through hosts.allow
or tcpserver (better).

I have a fresh install of openbsd 2.6 via cdrom and after trying to
manually install qmail and finding out that vipw doesn't like what it
wants to type in (reports that my passwd file is corrupted) I found that
the new ports collection has the qmail files in it.
I made qmail which went fine but when I went to make install it got
almost all the way through before I got this error message :
pkg_create: tar command failed with code 256
error code 1
stop in /usr/ports/mail/qmail
I have made and installed joe and pine with no problems so the compilers
and etc are working.
I have no problems with re-installing the os if needed, this is a test
system to replace my aging slackware box.
Thanks,
Dale
