I changed qmail to use a modified smrsh from sendmail instead of /bin/sh
- this allows you to say that users can only execute programs that
you've enabled. It works on a system wide level rather than a user/group
level though.

Use qtools: configure a replier and invoke a filter that runs your
command. See http://www.superscript.com/qtools/intro.html .

Hi,
I have followed the doc from "life with qmail" to install my qmail
server. When I reboot the server, I got the following error messages
stating that "execup : directory not found [failed]. I have placed
the auto startup script in my /etc/rc.d/init.d directory. And I did
create a symbolic link "ln -s ../init.d/qmail
/etc/rc.d/init.d/rc3.d/S80qmail" since my system is using run level
3. I am wondering what 's wrong with it???
Thank you for your help
Mark Lo
Dear fellows,
#1. OpenBSD gots a port for checkpassword, its in
/usr/ports/mail/checkpassword..
#2, are you sure its /bin/checkpassword and not /usr/local/bin/checkpassword?
#3, OpenBSD 2.7-beta is out, try it, its great...
#4, is your checkpassword executable and owned by root.wheel?
so it can check /etc/master.passwd...

I have tried the one in /usr/ports/mail/checkpassword and I have tried the one
off of the checkpassword web site. The difference is the one off of the
checkpassword web site installs in /bin/checkpassword and the ports one installs
in /usr/local/bin/checkpassword . Other wise they are the same size and
version. They both work using the test in the install doc but will not work
telnet'ing to the pop3 server. Both of them are owned by root.wheel .
Thanks,
Dale

Ownership does not matter. Running as root (BUT DON'T SUID IT!) does.

Hello, I have setup Qmail in accordance with Paul Gregg's document on how to
setup qmail with separate POP3 accounts
(http://www.tibus.net/pgregg/projects/), I have setup my assign files with
some entries for delivery, a couple pop accounts for pickup and it all works
fine until I try to use the wildcard in the assign file to relay root,
postmaster and all these special accounts.
This is an example of my assign file:
+:popuser:511:511:/var/qmail/popboxes/warmlyyours-com/joeadmin:::
+root:popuser:511:511:/var/qmail/popboxes/warmlyyours-com/joeadmin:::
=mydomain-com-myuser:popuser:511:511:/var/qmail/popboxes/mydomain-com/myuser
:::
=mydomain-com-joeadmin:popuser:511:511:/var/qmail/popboxes/mydomain-com/joea
dmin:::
What I would expect from the above is that if I sent something to root or to
any user not defined or for a different domain it would be dropped in the
joeadmin Maildir. Doesn't happen. But if I sent directly to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] it works properly. How can I
forward all special email to one maildir properly?
Thanks,
Christian

- rblsmtpd doesn't stop DialUp abuse.
- too much qmail users mail from dialups to this list, so blocking dialups
would not be a good thing.

Yes it does, if you use the dul.maps.vix.com rbl domain....

It's not very probable that they'd use list.cr.yp.to as their outgoing
mail host, is it?

No, they use their own computer as the outgoing mailhost. Thus, their
outgoing mail originates from a dialup. It wouldn't get through at all
if list.cr.yp.to blocks email from dialups.
I for one send my mail directly from my laptop. I don't care about
religious objections that I shouldn't do that; it saves the annoyance
of re-aiming my outgoing mail at the smarthost of whatever connection
my laptop is using at the moment.
(BTW blocking DUL has not interfered with my own email in a couple of
years now. So despite the big talk of folks who use it, I continue to
send mail directly from my machine. DUL blocking only works because it
is a rarely-taken measure.)

Amazing. In one year, our office ran across:
aol.com
webtv.net
gte.net
us.ntt.net
nortelnetworks.com
frii.com
lextron-inc.com
We had to smtproute them all to our dialup provider.

Hi,
Does anyone have much experience with scan4virus?
I have install the latest version on my redhat 6.2 box and it works
well....... Exept than when I add entries to block certain file type of
attachment it does detect any of them. I am trying to block mp3's and
<Cough> vbs attachments.
I have entered the following lines in the antivirus-attachments.txt.
.vbs 0 No VBS
.exe 0 No Exec
*.vbs 0 Visual Basic Attachments Are not allowed
*.exe 0 No exec
When I use the -g option everything is ok. But looking at the log it tells
me that during perlscan no virus was found. I am going insain here. The db
file is updating but if I delete it the scan4virus doesn't even complain
about it.
thank you for any help you can offer.
Regards
Warren.

I was having problems with .18. Try upgrading to .19, that worked for me.
Also, don't use *.vbs, just use .vbs.

Make sure the .db file is readable by the uid that runs
antivirus-qmail-queue.pl ! (It probably isn't.)

I have tried what you have both said..
When I do a antivirus-qmail-queue.pl -r I get
File: putty.exe
Size: 1 bytes
Description: TEST
File: eicar.com
Size: 69 bytes
Description: EICAR Test Virus
File: .vbs
Size: Any
Description: Visual Basic Attachments Are not allowed
So that seems ok, but it does listen to what i tell it. The permission are
correct, I even delete the qmailscan direct and reinstalled using the
/.setup --install script
Any more tricks in the bag?
Regards
Warren.

I think this is your problem. Try making the group 'qmail'.
If that doesn't help, try the following patch:

Ah, but in most cases it was the MUA. If the MUA is the 'right' (wrong?)
version of Outlook, then the virus activates on reading or previewing
the virus. The user does not have to open the attachment at all.
Indeed, in quite a few of the cases we've seen the attachment has
been corrupted and fails to work even if opened, but the HTML script
is still 'live' and capable of infecting.

Its mathmatically provable that there exists an infinite number
of files which cannot be analysed by any virus scanner - that it to
say, the virus scanner would be unable to prove that the file definately
does not contain a virus. (The proof is a derivative of the famous Turing
machine problem, for those interested.)
I wonder, therefore, whether any legislation will ever occur, and even
if it did, whether it would stand up in court.

I'm still having a problem with getting mail from the outside world, but I
can send mail out from root just fine. I'm thinking that maybe my problem
has something to do with alias? Maybe if I understood HOW Qmail actually
sees a user on a system to deliver mail, I'd better understand how to get
this thing working.
How does Qmail realize a user's Mailbox exists?
Here is how I have my rcpthosts set:
localhost
ns.mydomain.com
mydomain.com
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Here is how I have my locals set:
localhost
ns.mydomain.com
mydomain.com
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have nothing currently in virtualdomains
If I send a qmail-inject to me locally, I've noticed that my .qmail (which
has a forward in it) sends the mail to my forwarded address on another
system. But.. if I remove the .qmail from my directory, the mail doesn't
arrive to the Mailbox. Where does it go? Do I need to have something
else in a .qmail file to get mail locally?
Thanks.

You can't have full adresses in locals. Only domainnames are allowed.

If you are trying to send mail to the root account, qmail will not let you
unless you have an alias file that tells it to deliver root mail to another
account. In the ~alias directory you should have among others a .qmail-root
by default it will have nothing in it. If you want mail to root to go to
you, just put your username in the file and then restart qmail. In my
rcpthosts I have my mail servers name plus the name of all the machine in my
network in it. In locals I just have my mail servers name
machinename.domainname.whatever which was put there during install, I never
put it my self.

Hello.
I've been looking for programs to install with my Qmail to detect those
nasty virus. The only program which seems to work with Qmail is Scan4virus
and AMaViS (this one hasn't been tested).
Is there anyone more? Which one is the best?
Thanks.

Well, see http://av-linux.w3.to/, click on english and then the
Mini-FAQ. Note: AVP for qmail is missing in the Mini-FAQ (I'll update it
today).
See also the discussion a few days before. For a comparison, I would
recommand AMaViS-Perl at http://www.unixzone.com/virus/.
Which one is best - well, I'm biased :-)

I've seen in your web a patch for the latest version of Amavis, do I need to

~username is a convention used by most UNIX(ish) shells. it means "username's home
directory"
alias one of the user-accounts that qmail uses.
The scenario is :
I have installed qmail1.03 on Mandrake Linux 6.0.
And the local domain is "velosmed.com" and the local accounts by creating actual
users on that system works. I am able to send and receive
emails....
Then I installed vpopmail from www.inter7.com; then ezmlm ; and qmailadmin
from www.inter7.com and finally installed
sqwebmail on that system.
Now the problem is that,
when I create an virtual domain on that system by
using vpopmail :
/home/vpopmail/bin/vadddomain intranet.velosmed.com
password
it gives me "qmail-newu" error : fatal bad format
in users/assign
and I when I try to access that account using the
outlook express, it gives me authentication error, says bad password when the
password is correct.
however I am able to create the accounts using the
qmailadmin, and access that accounts using sqwebmail but the mail is not coming.
If someone sends the mail to that virtually created
accounts, the error comes that there is no mailbox by that name.

Dear QMail users,
I am a QMail newbie and I would like some advice on some qmail performance
issues.
I have a question about qmail regarding its mail handling capacity.....
How many remote emails can qmail send simulataneously, assuming it is run
on a Dual-CPU PIII 500Mhz with 512Mb RAM and a SCSI hard disk? The internet
bandwidth is 10 Mbps.
If I run 2 parallel processes that sends out emails, does it mean twice the
amount of emails get sent off simultaneously? if so, does that mean the
more processes I run in parallel, the more emails get sent off at the same
time? or will most of the emails get stored in the queue?
What is the general number of emails that a machine with the above
specifications can send per second/hour/day? How do I fine-tune it to send
off millions? I only know of changing the "concurrencyremote" figure in
/var/qmail/control/concurrencyremote. I set it to 100 for testing. What
should be a good figure assuming that I will do free email hosting on the
server for hundreds of thousands of users?
I have also noticed that some free email services like Yahoo also uses
QMail (if I'm not mistaken). They have millions of users, so I assume they
host the email service on multiple machines. How is it possible to do
load-balancing for emails on multiple machines? 'cause everyone will have
an email address like [EMAIL PROTECTED], but how does Yahoo redirect
portions of users to different machines for mail receival/sending?
Another question is about the Mail header. What is the header that I should
add into a generated email so that undelivered/bounced emails go to this
specific email address instead? For example, I send an email to
[EMAIL PROTECTED], it will by default bounce back to my sending
account. How do I make it bounce to another account instead? Should I use
Errors-To:, or Undeliverables-To: or any other header?
Sorry for my huge number of questions. Your prompt help is greatly
appreciated.
Yours sincerely,
Andy.

A lot. : )
There is a hard-coded limit to the numebr of concurrent remote sessions,
somewhere around 200, if I recall, but you can certainly increase that in
the source, if necessary. Below 200, it is controlled by a "soft limit"
contained in the file "concurrencyremote". I'm sure that your machine could
handle 200 with ease.

As long as you aren't maxing out CPU or bandwidth, then yes, sending them
in parallel is better. That way, things like waiting for DNS lookups don't
kill your performance. That's why qmail spawns a new instance of
qmail-remote for each message to be delivered.

I'd watch your bandwidth, but I'd bet that 200 would be perfectly
reasonable. I've raised it to 100 on a Pentium 233 w/ 512k bandwidth, and
it definitely speeded things up quite a bit. 500 emails took ~45 seconds to
clear, perhaps a bit less. That's about a million per day. With your
system, you should be able to handle more, although sooner or later, you'll
hit the major limiting factor: I/O. It sounds like you're just starting
up, so you should be fine for some time. Once things get severely large,
you'll need to at least go to a hardware RAID setup, with multiple disks on
multiple channels/controllers to get the throughput.

I've heard of "Bounce-to:" being used, but I'm not hip on the RFC's like
others on the list. : )

When you telnet to port 25 what does it tell you? Connection refused or
something else? There's a good chance that qmail-smtpd isn't running.

How about:
$ telnet 0 25
or isn't it running on the local machine?

How did you create this: /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb and what's in it? tcpserver
acts as if its being told not to accept your connection.

Oh, I don't know that I have to config a /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb file, actually, I got no
output with the command `find / -name tcp.smtp.cdb`. How should I make this kind of
file, where can I get detailed document about it? Thank you.

Hi,
1)
I have installed Slackware 7.0 with kernel 2.2.13 without procmail and fetchmail,
then I install qmail-1.03. Could qmail work without those two tools (procmail or
fetchmail)?
2)
If I have installed qmail, then I telnet to mail.domain.com 25/110 is work well, but I
can't get the mail from that server, what's wrong? (In this case I have
installed/copied procmail and fetchmail from pkgtool)
Should I re-configure/re-installed qmail again?
3)
Does Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Netscape Messenger, Eudora....(mail reader
for MS Windows), can work with Maildir?
Thank you
Daniel

Hello.
I would like to know if it's possible to have two copies of Qmail running on
the same system, or one with two different configurations depending on the
IP it's listening to.
The idea is to use one to check incoming and outgoing e-mails for virus and
the other one for normal e-mails.
My thoughts are to configure another IP for my machine and make a Qmail
daemon answer to that IP, how can I make that when Qmail receives something
for that IP it scans them for virus and if it's for another IP (both IPs on
the same machine) it doesn't scan them?
Maybe I could configure it like a virtual domain?
Has anybody done something like this?
Thanks.

To solve your problem, you don't necessarily have to do that.

Ok, I'll assume that the mail you don't want to check for virii comes from
a known range of IP addresses.

No, I'd recommend you to use scan4virus (or AMAVIS :-) and the QMAILQUEUE
patch (both discussed recently). Then, set the default QMAILQUEUE to the
virus scanner (in the startup file), but in your smtp.rules (that
tcpserver reads from), set QMAILQUEUE to the real "qmail-queue"
executable for those IPs whose mail you don't want to scan.
Reversely, you can have the default to be qmail-queue and only run the
scanner for mail from certain IPs.

No, but I'm dead sure it can be done :-> No need to run 2 qmails...
