James, I know nothing about Mandrake but it sounds as a cron job is running 'checksecurity' - look for suitable documentation or start messing with /etc/checksecurity.conf Mutex - resource locking routines?

There must be some typo, like a. you misspelled the domain name b. you misspelled "smtproutes" c. your qmail instalation is in different directory from /var/qmail/control d. the mail came from different domain than you think (ie. not the one in smtproutes) Bottom line: If you put the domain in smtproutes, qmail never complains that "I am the best A or MX"; it knows that it is not.

When you get 'connection closed by foreign host' that means that your daemon program (tcpserver or inetd) is not configured properly. You'll have to double check your tcpserver init script or inetd.conf file for errors. Brent > Rupak Joshi wrote: > > Hello All, > > I install the qmail in my linux 5.2.

Check who you are running it as? If you are using vpopmail, you are suppose to run as vpopmail and group vchkpw. See the INSTALL file for vpopmail for details. I got the similar problem before and I did not specify -u vpopmail -g vchkpw in the tcpserver command line. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brent R.

Hi, I am having some strange problem. When ever I am sending mail from local to local user then it is adding the domain name for 2 time in from address: for example: If i will send a mail from" [EMAIL PROTECTED]" to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" then "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" will get a mail with from address as "[EMAIL PROTECTED]@foo.com". Please help? kapil

Please find out first if it really is qmail-queue; I can't imagine that (unless there's a bug, or a DoS attack against your qmail) the queue eats up all 128k inodes and only 171MB of disk space. (I would think you have a zillion zero-size files in your /var.) Generally, you have two options: 1. Find out who's eating the inodes. Fix that process. Delete the spurious (zero-sized) files. 2. Backup your /var. Reformat it with more inodes. Restore from backup. Run queue-fix (available at www.qmail.org). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 6.0.2 -- QDPGP 2.60 Comment: http://community.wow.net/grt/qdpgp.html iQA/AwUBOSt8rVMwP8g7qbw/EQJwDQCgy8EWoUxQy3+EU8xUMVztzLRpCx0AoMXk 4HbbIInjLshIMuM1IbWAmUnq =dqbj -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Petr Novotny, ANTEK CS [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.antek.cz PGP key ID: 0x3BA9BC3F -- Don't you know there ain't no devil there's just God when he's drunk.

Stop qmail 2. rm -rf /var/qmail/queue 3. cd /usr/src/qmail (or wherever your qmail sources are) 4. make setup check 5. Start qmail. (Alternative: Delete all file in /var/qmail/queue _except_ the files in /var/qmail/queue/lock.) But I certainly think that FIRST your should find out who ate all your inodes and why; I think that couldn't happen by chance - that's either a bug or a denial-of-service attack. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 6.0.2 -- QDPGP 2.60 Comment: http://community.wow.net/grt/qdpgp.html iQA/AwUBOSuIuVMwP8g7qbw/EQL51gCfeQuK6HUxdoKmlD2jiZ9fsAzyH7QAn0LY +a1bh8Dup0Riapd+8b12Bj6e =yUnh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Petr Novotny, ANTEK CS [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.antek.cz PGP key ID: 0x3BA9BC3F -- Don't you know there ain't no devil there's just God when he's drunk.

I noticed something in the logs of my server... - I shut qmail down - I noticed a bunch of qmail-remote processes still attempting delivery to sites which I knew were down, so I killed them - Checked/doublechecked that all qmail-related processes are dead - I restarted qmail Some messages hanging in the queue are for single recipients of a multi-recipient mail - say 79 out of 80 deliveries have been made successfully, as shown by qmail-qread. Upon restarting, as I watched the log it appeared to me that qmail-remote *redelivered* those 79 messages and then failed again on the 80th message. Can anyone confirm or deny this behaviour? If it is in fact true, I think it's a bit disturbing... regards, Will __________________________________________________________________________ "I was going to be a Neo-Deconstructivist, but Mom wouldn't let me..." multimedia laboratorium [EMAIL PROTECTED] institut fuer informatik (pgp id) F703D035 der universitaet zuerich (office) +41 1 635 4346 winterthurerstr. 190 (fax) +41 1 635 6809 ch-8057 zuerich (mobile) +41 76 372 0913 switzerland www.ifi.unizh.ch/~harris __________________________________________________________________________
Hi Chris, Thanks for the reply. I was trying to check this set up by telneting to my mail server on port 25 which has qmail running and all these other qmail files. The mail did not reach the address, no error message though. Also the syslog shows an entry like -- starting delivery 19839: msg 286390 to local @help.com instead of remote @test.com help.com being my mail server.

You still are missing the point, how about if you give us exactly what you typed and exactly the messages and logs you get from your server. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, May 23, 2000 9:41 AM To: Chris Johnson Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: virtual domains Hi Chris, Thanks for the reply.

Hi, This is yet another attempt to have my question answered...... Is there a way to know, when a user logs onto my qmail box to retreive mail via pop, which "virtual domain" is beeing actually accessed ? Ie. I've got a server which handles mail for domains a.com and b.com. It has two DNS aliases : mail.a.com & mail.b.com. I want to allow user X to retrieve the b-com-X mailbox if he logs to mail.b.com, and to retreive the a-com-X mailbox if he logs to mail.a.com. Is anyone doing something similar ? Any clues ? Doesn't matter which software I use as a pop server or any other things. Many thanks, P.-J.

So can you tell me the exact problem you are having, perhaps copying some logs here? BTWY, this question is better posted to the qmail list, so I cc my answer there. Mate
First, I have a perfectly functioning Qmail 1.03 to the tune of about 20K messeges/day. So this is really a MUA question, but geez, remember we're talking about Microsoft here folks, get a straight answer?, unlikely. So this is a more "have you ever encountered?" Outlook Express 5 suddenly and for no apparent reason will talk to qmail-smtpd fine if the message is under about 300 bytes. Add a few lines, or an attachment and it just hangs until it timeouts and asks of the user want to wait longer. User has several machines attached to a 3com lan modem and they all behave similarly. Everything else over the connection seems to be working fine, including qmail pop3. Baffled.

Is there a way to direct email for a given virtual domain to an alternate host using a .qmail-default file ? I would like to somehow put this rule in a .qmail-virtualtarget-defaults file since I have other virtual domains that are aliased to this virtualtarget domain!

Sorry for the confusion there, I just got messed up. Same problem, just with Maildir instead of Mailbox, the thing being that Maildir has multiple files, one message each, and Mailbox has one file, many messages.

Hi! I use two machines at home (lets call them A and B). I'm using B as an internet gateway for A. Both machines run qmail-1.03. I want A now to send all mail that's not addressed to a user on A to B. And I want B to put all mail that's neither for A nor B into a uucp queue (I have the qmail-bsmtp package installed). If I put ':alias-uucp' into B's virtualdomains file then _all_ mail ist put into the uucp queue, even mails that are addressed to users on A or B although these could be delivered locally or via SMTP. Does anyone know how I can exclude mails from beeing stuffed into the uucp queue? -- Ciao, Sebastian * Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] * HP: http://www.sauerland.de/~toyland/ PGP-Key available

Hi, I got a problem with my virtual domains and user-part addresses case sensitivity. [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] both work perfectly, and are delivered to the local user "user" (UsEr@mailserver works, too :) But if a have =virtual-first.last:user:500:500:/home/user:-:: the address first.last@virtual is delivered to /home/user/.qmail (OK) BUT: First.Last@virual bounces (no such user). How to make qmail think both (or any combinaison of lower/upper case fro that matter) are the same is user/assign ?

I am getting errors as follows:- May 23 20:02:38 server qmail: 959108558.976224 delivery 395: deferral: Sorry,_I_wasn't_able_to_establish_an_SMTP_connection._(#4.4.1)/ Firstly - does this mean that qmail can't establish an SMTP connection to the remote system? If so, I think I know why as they're bounce messages in response to some mail I sent and I suspect my reply address may be setup incorrectly to a domain inside the firewall.

It's not *my* machine name that's getting on the front of the correct domain name though, it's the mail hub's domain name. I.e. my correct address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] My machine within the firewall is borg so, locally, I'm [EMAIL PROTECTED] However qmail on my home machine was trying to bounce mail back to [EMAIL PROTECTED] as emerald is the mail host. I think I need to get the system administration people here to sort that out. -- Chris Green ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Work: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: http://www.isbd.co.uk/
I am trying to configure dmail (part of WU imap-utils set of utilities) so that I can have qmail deliver in mbx format instead of the very ugly mbox format. ANyway, I was told that dmail works the same as other mail delivery programs like /bin/mail, mail.local, etc and that I would have to have qmail call a different mail delivery program so dmail can be used. Does anyone know how to call a different mail delivery program under qmail? - Steve
You have to change your qmail init script by adding a pipe to your dmail program. It would look something like this: qmail-lspawn |dmail Brent Steve Quezadas wrote: > > I am trying to configure dmail (part of WU imap-utils set of utilities) so > that I can have qmail deliver in mbx format instead of the very ugly mbox > format.

i have a few entries in control/badmailfrom. a few days ago a message got caught by this magic, but it didn't quite work as expected, because the 553 error from qmail-smatpd thrown back to the pop3 popper (fetchmail) came only =after= it had asked for the recipient. this is the dialogue: SMTP> MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> BODY=8BITMIME SMTP< 250 ok why does qmail-smtpd say 250 ok? at that time it has already checked control/badmailfrom, but instead of complaining immedeatly it accepts the recipient's address! SMTP> RCPT TO:<local@localhost> SMTP< 553 sorry, your envelope sender is in my badmailfrom list (#5.7.1) that's too late! no wonder the pop3 client associates the 553 response with the recipient, which is wrong wrong wrong! SMTP listener doesn't like recipient address `local@localhost' SMTP> RCPT TO:<postmaster@localhost> SMTP< 553 sorry, your envelope sender is in my badmailfrom list (#5.7.1) can't even send to postmaster! and why this? postmaster@localhost is defined. has qmail-smtpd not done enough damage? POP3> QUIT POP3< This is a MIME-encapsulated message SMTP transaction error while fetching from pop.gmx.de Query status=10 what do i expect? fetchmail is confused and stops processing this batch. had i not checked the log, the same batch of messages would have been rejected until hours later my logg-scanning program had brought this to my immediate attention. by that time my mailbox at my isp could have overflowed with resulting loss of messages. i checked the source and the 553 reply could be placed a few lines earlier with no consequences other than reducing codesize a few bytes, because setting and checking a flag to deferr complaining about the sender until after the recipient address is changed, which is how it is done at present, could just be dropped and forgotten. why? what for? -- clemens [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hello, Once in a while I have to send messages thousands of users that are listed in a dynamic database. Is not viable for me to use a mailing list manager. To handle bounces I use VERP by connecting to the Qmail SMTP server directly like this: HELO localhost MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[]> RCPT TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> RCPT TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> RCPT TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> DATA Headers: here Message here. . QUIT Qmail delivers messages to the remote MX hosts of domain1.com, domain2.com, domainn.com and if that is the bounces are returned as expected to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] However, if instead of bouncing in the remote hosts, the messages bounces right in the local host on which qmail is running and to which messages are relayed, instead the above, qmail waits for the message queue time limit and bounces a single message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] noticing the bounced addresses. I was expecting to get separate bounced messages to be delivered to the VERP address after expanded. I am doing something wrong or qmail is just not supposed to work like I expected? Another problem is about some SMTP servers do not set the To: header of the bounces to the return-path address of the messages sent that should have been the VERP address after expanded for the original recipient. Anybody knows a way to ensure that the VERP expanded address can be recovered? To handle the bounces I have a POP3 based dump account to which all unknown addresses for phpclasses.UpperDesign.com are delivered. I just don't seem to be able to make the original recipient address be extracted because not all SMTP servers set the To: or any other header with the original message return path.
