Ah, so you're looking at the time to deliver something like 97-99% of
the messages. I'm looking at the 100% times, which tend to be
dominated by a couple of slow remote servers.
I'd like to see the raw numbers in addition to the graphs.

I am having trouble compiling qmail from the source distribution
unde RedHat 6.2 Intel. According to the README's I should not have
to anything special to compile but I seem to be blowing up because
of a simple standard header file not being found. I know I could
probably go back and locate each one of these files but I normally
do not have this kind of problem when compiling source. Am I
missing some key PATH setting or key piece of info to compiling
this properly?

There are a couple of ways to do this. As another user suggested, store the
emails in a POP box and have a method of kicking a maildirsmtp when your
exchange comes online (usually a finger daemon will do this, I wrote my
own fingerd in perl to handle this task).
The other method, simpler, but more prone to problems if your exchange
doesn't dialup for a period of time.
Just put the domains in rcpthosts and either have a single all domains
entry or define the specific domains which must be forwarded in the
smtproutes file. This way, the qmail box becomes the main MX where all mail
goes first. In smtproutes put:
domain1.com:myexchangebox.mydom.com
domain2.com:myexchangebox.mydom.com
or simply:
:myexchangebox.mydom.com
If all domains from this qmail are going to be delivered to your exchange.
Paul.

No question about it: I would explicitly state which domains
should be stored and forwarded in rcpthosts.
The messages thus received will bounce after queuelifetime
(man qmail-send).

I have some little problems with the headers of mails received and sended via
qmail. The headers looks like :
Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Received: (qmail 1141 invoked from network); 7 Aug 2000 13:28:02 -0000
Received: from unknown (HELO RD-AUDIO) (192.168.0.41)
by 192.168.0.101 with SMTP; 7 Aug 2000 13:28:02 -0000
...
one problem is the date but timezone and date are correct , what's happened ?
the second problem is "from unknown ...", what can i do to have "from mxmlab" (my
external server) ?
thanx
Jerome.

You mean you see a "wrong" timezone? See
http://www.faqts.com/knowledge-base/view.phtml/aid/1167/fid/208
and archives of this list. In short, that's by design and the
reasoning behind is sound.

1. If you run tcpserver with -H option, remove this option.
2. Otherwise, fix your reverse DNS for 192.168.0.41.

You really have to be a little more elaborative in your error reports.
How did you configure the domain in virtualdomains and how does the "error"
look like?

adreesses.
qmail-send returns this error:

This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Sorry, I couldn't find a mail exchanger or IP address. (#5.4.4)

Can anybody tell me something about this problem?.

It means just what it says: qmail couldn't look up xxx.xxx.es in the
DNS.
If you hadn't x'd it out, we might have been able to tell you more.

I have found that in that domain is a mail server and it works well with
others servers but mine. I found some more interesting.
doing a dig I get this:
----
dig xxxx.xx mx
xxx.xxx.es. 6h54m46s IN MX 10 999.99.999.99.
---
I think the IP shouldn't have a dot "." at the end and this may be the
reason that leads qmail not to find a mail server there.
Others mail servers work with this configuration, may be some bug there in
qmail or something?.
Jes�s Arn�iz.
That is a misconfigured Zone file.. That is not a bug in qmail.. that should
not have the . at the end of it unless it is pointed to a FQDN.

Yes but if other servers work with this zone I think some may be changed in

Ok, so you want to break something that works to work with something that is
broken?
Give us the server you think is broken and let us look at it.
We are only here to help, but we can't if you don't let us.
Many, Many, Many times what looks like MTA errors are DNS errors.
The PROPER thing to do would be to notify the zone admin and have them fix
it.

OK, how about keeping all these messages regarding your DNS troubles
in one thread? Anyway...
Tell us which version of qmail you are using. I do believe Dan
relaxed qmail's strictness of MX pointing to IP addresses in 1.03.
Some bitched loudly about it since "sendmail does it." Blah! It just
allowed administrators that don't know squat about DNS to get their
mail :) So, if you're using 1.02 or earlier then qmail will indeed
bounce the mail.
You still should email the administrators of that zone and clue them
into the fact that MX's are supposed to be FQDN's.

yes, but then there's also the problem of when someone sends a message with an
attachment on it, then they get the bounce that has what looks like the whole message
and attachment on it, then they just forward the bounce message including the partial
attachment on to whoever was really supposed to recieve the message.
one thought is to put the whole message in the bounce to local users, and then filter
the message through a program that will remove any attachments from it for bounces to
remote users?

Exclude them meaning they wouldn't get any responses, or they would not
be rate limited? What would this accomplish?

translating the qmail-error messages would really be the best solution

it does cut them off, thus my autoreply says:

(Note that this copy has been truncated to 50 KB.)

Hi everyone!
I want to upgrade my actual version of qmail. I use Red Hat and I wonder if
I can upgrade it only installing the rpm. Is there any problem with old
configurations or something if I do it by this way?
Thanks in advance.
Jes�s.

Upgrade to _what_ ? :) is there a qmail 1.04 or something ?
Well, copying the config files should be easy, and make sure
there are no messages in the queue if you want to move it.

Yo.
I've setup Qmail on a RedHat Linux 6.1 system. I have decided to use
Maildir's, and everything work's fine except for one little problem. I'm
currently using qmail-pop3d as my Pop3 server, and when I try to check mail
through an external client, ie. Micrsoft Outlook, I repeatdly get the
message, 'this user has no $HOME/Maildir', when the Maildir is in the user's
home directory, and when I send a message to a user it show's up in file,
'new' in the Maildir. The Maildir was creatred using maildirmake, and is
chmoded too 'drwx------ ' and the Maildir files/directories are owned by the
same user/group who own's that home directory.
It look's fine to me, but what am I missing?
Any advice, or solution's would be sincerly appreciated.

I'm running qmail on a vanilla RH 6.2 x86. The only optional package I
installed was Qmail-pgsql (http://www.fizzz.net/qmail+pgsql/). Everything
works fine if I directly start qmail from the command line by issuing one
of the following two command as root (using bash):
csh -cf '/var/qmail/rc &'
/var/qmail/rc &
The problem is with running /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail. Whether the guts of
the start case are any of the following, the script never terminates.
daemon csh -cf '/var/qmail/rc &'
daemon csh -cf '/var/qmail/rc'
daemon /var/qmail/rc
Specifically it gets stuck in the call to "nice" made in the "daemon"
routine defined in /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions:
nice -n $nicelevel initlog $INITLOG_ARGS -c "$*" && success "$base
startup" || failure "$base startup"
Could anyone tell me what would cause this behavior or how to fix it? In
case it would be helpful, my entire /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail program is below
(with alternate attempts commented out). And, yes, I'm killing off qmail
and su'd to root before running /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail.
Thank you.

I haven't played with Redhat myself, so can't be authoritative here.

daemon "/var/qmail/rc &"
daemon "csh -cf '/var/qmail/rc &'"
Failing that, perhaps make a script that executes and backgrounds
/var/qmail/rc and specify that script as an argument to daemon.
[1] The arguments ``csh'', ``-cf'', and ``/var/qmail/rc &'' will get
joined into ``csh -cf /var/qmail/rc &'' and if split again (by
initlog presumably) turn into 4 arguments.
Hope it's something...

Ah, of course. That worked. Thank you. The only downside is that I get

What kind of pid is considered ``wrong''? I thought all programs that
backgrounded themselves, did so by forking a child and exiting the
parent.

Wrong for the purposes of the /etc/rc.d/init.d scripts; i.e., for the
"status", "stop", and "restart" commands.

Ahh, okay. After having looked at /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions on our
Linux users group's Redhat machine, I figured out how those killproc
and status functions work.
The ``main'' qmail process is called qmail-send, not qmail, so ``pidof''
won't find it. So the best way for those scripts to find the process is
to put something sensible in /var/run/qmail.pid.
I hope this works...

Couldn't you just do something like this in the rc script
to get the correct pid every time?
`ps -C qmail-send | sed 's/^.\([0-9]*\).*/\1/' | tr -d
[:space:]`
[Note: There is probably a better way to do
this. Suggestions are welcome.]

I think you probably meant ``^.*'' instead of ``^.''.

If I remember correctly, this does pretty much the same thing as
``pidof'', except I think the latter is faster.
Even faster, I believe, is to simply write qmail-send's pid to
/var/run/qmail.pid, as suggested in my previous post; then you don't
even have to search through all the processes, as ``ps'' and ``pidof''
have to.

Someone teach me to test my suggestions first! ``^ *'' instead of

Excellent. You previously mentioned pidof, but said that
it wouldn't work. I didn't test that statement.
>Even faster, I believe, is to simply write qmail-send's
>pid to
>/var/run/qmail.pid, as suggested in my previous post; then

>have to.
I don't know which one would be faster. Speed really isn't
an issue in this case though, is it? You only need to get
the pid when you run the rc script, and that is (hopefully)
not a regular occurrence. Also, the time it takes to scan
the process list is probably trivial when compared with the
time it takes to restart qmail-send.
If the qmail-rcfile file is already set up to look for the
qmail pid, changing where it looks for it is a simple
search and replace. You have to change the file anyway if
you're implementing the qmail.pid solution, and pidof saves
you the trouble of adding the (admittedly minor) pid
recording function.
pidof, a win by 44 characters?
cheers,
Todd
I wrote the list last week about a script I found in the archives
which will bounce email if a certain subject is found. I would
like instead to deliver this mail to an alternative email address
at the same domain. Is this a doable thing? I don't mind if
it also delivers to the original mailbox, I just need to get another
copy someplace else.
Thanks,
mike.

No, this won't solve the problem as serialmail will still deliver one
copy per recipient.

Hello,
When connecting to the POP3 and SMTP servers there is a delay before the
"+OK" response. This can be easily shown by using telnet to connect to the
POP3 port (using an IP address, so no name lookup).
The maillog shows:
Aug 8 11:54:14 server pop3d: 965692454.925054 tcpserver: pid 990 from
192.168.1.122
Aug 8 11:54:36 server pop3d: 965692476.984864 tcpserver: ok 990
:192.168.1.1:110 :192.168.1.122::1136
tcpserver has started pop3d at 11:54:14, the OK is not sent until 11:54:36.
Any ideas please.
Many thanks,
Dave
Add -RH flag to your tcpserver wrapper and see if it corrects your problem..
The Delay is probly coming from DNS lookup..

Thanks for your reply.
I already had -R. Changing this to -RH has halved the delay (from approx.
22 seconds to 11 seconds), but there still is a delay.
For testing, I am telnetting directly to an IP address:port number. I have
also put an entry into /etc/hosts for the client system (and hosts is
searched before a DNS lookup).
Thanks

Possibly try recreating the tcp.smtpd.cdb and make sure that the tcp.smtpd

Hello,
I am using fetchmail to retrieve mail from my ISP's server to my
local machine. It worked fine with sendmail, but then I installed
qmail 1.03. I now get a an error...

First, where should this file be, why don't I have it and where do I get it?
I am running OpenBSD 2.7 on a sparc, and I'm using Maildirs.

earth would you use beta on a production machine....well, I tested it out on
several otehr machines...and all went well, and it's not the beta I'm having
problems with.
The machine in question is bryant.dsc.k12.ar.us
there is an alias to this machine...bryant.k12.ar.us
I have been running this machine aliased for our administrators for the
year...and now I'm moving all of our schools over to this machine.
That includes elementaries, the jr.high, high school, etc....
Mail is working perfectly for our administrators(thank goodness)...but not
for new users
I have /etc/skel setup to create a Maildir correctly(yes I used
maildirmake), and copy a .qmail file to everyone's home directory.
I checked permissions...they match our existing users that are
working.....
but when you add a new user ....you can't send mail to them at either
address....I've tried restarting qmail...and restarting the machine(with blind
hopes)
I got this whe I added a user named testingthemail:

is there a file I have to manually update if I want users to be accessible
right after being added?

Unless RedHat 7.0 beta includes some automatic function, then you do. Read
the qmail FAQ on info for how to update this (specifically look for
information on NIS/NFS outages...this is included there.) I don't know if
this is covered in LWQ but I would guess so.
Also, most of the problems I have had with qmail like yours are to do with
Maildir permissions. Make sure in the actual home folder of the recipient
that they have at least read/write permissions (maybe a cd ~user; chmod -R
u+r *; chown -R user *; chown -R user .qmail; chgrp -R group *; chgrp -R
group .qmail) might help. This has 90% of the time caused the below problem.
BUT the assign file you asked about before probably caused the other 10%! If
in doubt, delete it :> (Or move it somewhere else and its associated
files...probably recommended).

Hello,
I setup the qmail on turbolinux4.0 on 2
servers.
I follow the step of "Life with Qmail" setup
qmail-pop3d and checkpassword
run the pop-3 by inetd.conf and send HUP to
inetd.
pass the test on INSTALL of
checkpassword-0.81.
also, I check that tcp.smtp
:allow
but I still can't check email from the client by pop3
which is inside my LAN.
any other things that I missed?
thanks~
|
|
sure enough...after 2 hours...the next user I put in started
working.....and he got appended to /var/qmail/users/assign
I've never seen this problem before......what can I do to make this
instantaneous?
What is updating that file?
Someone Please help .......

You said the delivery starts working only after the user appears in
the users/assign file. Look at your cron-jobs after a line
containing qmail-pw2u and qmail-newu. These two commands update the
users/assign and users/cdb files.
The qmail-users database is only needed when the home-directories
are mounted via NFS or the passwords are managed by NIS or similar.
During a NFS or NIS outage the messages would bounce if the users
were not known locally. This way the message is deferred until NFS
is up again.
You might want to look at 4.9 in the FAQ.

As a subnote to the list (not specifically to Oliver)...that is actually an
interesting statement (and yes, I know that's what it says in the FAQ). We
run a number of qmail servers together here combining NFS and NIS, and we
don't use a users database. If NFS goes down, the main server simply defers
the e-mail, saying in the logs that it is unavailable to deliver to the
Maildir (it will defer for up to a week, the default timeout).
If NIS goes down, everything continues as normal since all our qmail servers
are slave NIS servers rather than clients. BUT if we ran clients, and qmail
had to do a delivery to the machine it was running on (and it was not the
master server), then yes there would be a problem (in finding the home
directory), but in general for safety I recommend using NIS slaves rather
than clients - there is little reason to do it as clients and not the other.
If you're worried about security - hec, you're running NIS! The most
insecure
distributed information network in the world! You have to lock it down
manually by default to get any smidget of security out of it :>
Just some information for the list. Might help someone one day.

hi Everybody,
My virtualdomain file is as follows:-
/var/qmail/control/virtualdomains file contains
xyz.com:user
and if tru to send the mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] it gets delivered to ~user/Maildir/new
How do I configured my system or do I make changes so that it can allow other mail
server (xyz.com) to pick up the mails from ~user/Maildir via pop3 so that it can

And also will user account can be used by the mail server (xyz.com) to relay the

Look at fetchmail, or some of the other alternatives mentioned on this list
earlier this week...You might be able to optimise the process with a bit of
scripting and file transfer stuff but I'll leave that to your imagination...

I take it English is not your first language? I couldn't really understand
that but if you want to learn about relaying, at a minimal start 'man
qmail-control' and read up on smtproutes, and also look in Life With qmail
(grab the URL from http://www.qmail.org/top.html) to avoid some very very
common mistakes in relaying.

Hi all,
we're using a little script to do some header rewriting.
It is called via .qmail-fixup-default.
The output of the script is the fed into qmail-inject,
QMAILINJECT=i.
Almost everything works as expected, there's just one
problem: if a mail is sent to multiple users, EACH of
them gets it multiple times. The number of individual
mails is equal to the number or receivers.
The .qmail-fixup-default script is called n-times and
calls qmail-inject n-times (n is the number of receivers),
then qmail-inject sends each message n times.
We have this setup running for some years now but
recently upgraded hardware, kernel and qmail version.
Qmail was 1.01 and is now 1.03. Hardware is Intel,
OS is Linux.
Does anybody have an idea??
Thanx in advance,
Martin

Hi....
i got the problem that i cant send mail with my qmail SMTP
to anny domain which is not in the rctphosts file.
here is outlooks error message:
Die Nachricht konnte nicht gesendet werden, da einer der Empf�nger vom
Server nicht akzeptiert wurde.
Die nicht akzeptierte E-Mail-Adresse ist '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. Betreff 'test2',
Konto: '194.97.99.230', Server: '194.97.99.230',
Protokoll: SMTP, Serverantwort: '553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of
allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1)', Anschluss: 25, Secure(SSL): Nein, Serverfehler:
553, Fehlernummer: 0x800CCC79
How can I fix this.
Regards Alex
Quick fix: read Life With qmail (URL at http://www.qmail.org/top.html), look
up the relaying section. The problem is that the server has not been set up
to allow relaying. To do this, you must have the ucspi-tcp tools installed
so you can use tcpserver. Read the above doc for more anyway...
