This means that something is already listening on port smtp. You may have
another tcpserver already running on that port or perhaps sendmail is
still running.

There's no easy way to do that. There's a patch pointed to by
www.qmail.org that truncates bounce messages, but it doesn't remove
attachments.

The SMTP daemon (qmail's or anyone elses for that matter) is not
responsible for adding RFC822 headers such as From: or To: etc. All
the SMTP daemon does is accept the incoming data and possibly add a
Received: header.
The sending system is responsible for 'doing the right thing' with
respect to From: headers etc.
By telnetting into port 25, you were acting as the SMTP client, so you
were resonsible for adding the From: header etc.
Here's a sample from my system:
telnet allspice 25
Trying 192.168.16.20...
Connected to allspice.e-smith.net.
Escape character is '^]'.

The bottom line is that your system is working properly. You just
assumed it was going to do more than it actually does.

That works fine because qmail-inject creates From: and To: headers etc
if they don't already exist. That is part of its job.
qmail-smtpd's job is not to add headers that aren't there.

Ok, it's understud, but... why did it work before restarting the
machine? Why does it work with sendmail? (uh! don't hit me!! ;) ).
That's why I'm worried, I've worked for long time with MTAs and every
smtpd I installed worked fine by telneting to port 25 without adding extra
header in "DATA" field... even qmail before restarting the system....

Qmail Doesn't Do That. It's that simple.

Uh, no. If your MTA did that before you restarted, then it wasn't qmail. I
suggest you look at the message headers and confirm this for yourself.

Why does qmail-popup change fd2 from stderr (which nicely goes into the
logger, usually) to a copy of fd1?
This fdcopy prevents checkpassword replacements from logging anything.

What's your setup? I thought, if you use the usual svscan setup,

Yes it does, but, fd's 0 and 1 are attached to the network socket under
tcpserver anyway, which is why I have a 2>&1 which means fd 2 goes into
the 'high-level' (tcpserver output) fd 1.

I'm not sure yet if this is Qmail specific, but I thought that someone
here might have experienced this before and thus would have an idea since
we're all email Admins.
Users who are sending our mail servers mail from large sites such as
prontomail or hotmail occasionally get the following error:

The odd thing about this is that we have two mail servers - one in New
Jersey on an occasionally unstable link and one in California at Above.net
which is always online and both trigger this error (randomly).
Both of these mail servers run Qmail 1.03 and Ezmlm which is really the
only similarity between them. We have clients who send and retrieve mail
from both mail servers all day long so I "know" that these are not offline
- and while it's possible for short periods of inaccessibility, shouldn't
these messages queue for at least a few hours before bouncing?
Or is this error message indicative of something else?

Huh, once again someone mails the list with a hotmail-generated
mail error report and it doesn't say damn thing at all!
Why even send error reports to users when they don't mention _what_
the blasted problem is? (note, I'm ranting at hotmail, not you).
Users don't know to look up in RFC 1893 for extended status codes!
Anyway, the status code 4.4.2 is telling us it should have been
deferred. It seems like hotmail doesn't like to have any messages in
its queue :) Are you sure this isn't a deferral notice? I guess since
it says "Failure" in the Subject we have to assume it's not.
X.4.2 Bad connection
The outbound connection was established, but was otherwise
unable to complete the message transaction, either because
of time-out, or inadequate connection quality. This is
useful only as a persistent transient error.

Interesting, but I can only find one MX record in the DNS for vfive.com.
$ host -t mx vfive.com
vfive.com MX 10 bmw.vfive.com
Therefore, if that is the machine in New Jersey, that could be the
source of your delivery failures. Reasonable MTAs will defer the
message until it can be delivered (when the link comes back up,
presumably).

You
cannot configure an application to only use a particular physical interface -
physical interfaces are isolated from applications by the layers of the IP
stack.
You
CAN have it listen on a particular IP address only, so that it doesn't respond
to the IP address that is assigned to another port though. But that
doesn't guarantee anything.
Outbound routing is handled by the kernel routing
table.
Once a
packet arrives on an interface, it enters the IP stack and gets responded to
appropriately - regardless of which physical interface it came in
on.

Hi,
I have some technical issue to
ask. Okay..I have a web server and mail server located side by
side. The web server is used to send all of the
on-line inquires to the mail server. So I would like to
ask how to configure qmail to accept incoming messages by using specific
etherent card. From web server's ethernet care directly to mail server's
ethernet card. Assume I have two ethernet card for both web and mail
server. one ethernet card is to listen from the outside
world.
Thank you

You're welcome to use my experimental tester at
http://www.abuse.net/relay.html. It's more or less the same tests
that the MAPS RSS uses, and is pretty similar to but less aggressive
than ORBS.
It also does the user%dom1@dom2 test, because that's a famous relay
hole in a lot of sendmail systems. If you have qmail, the tester will
note that it accepted the message, then say in large ugly blinking
letters that your system is only an open relay if it actually forwards
the message back. If you're a registered abuse.net user, it can
assign you a temporary abuse.net forwarding address so you can test
your own server using an address not in your own domain.
(Friendly hint: if you ignore the ugly blinking message and send me
mail anyway saying that the tester claimed that your system is an open
relay because it accepted the test message, I'll write back and call
you a moron.)

Hrmm.. i just ran the test through my servers john, and for some reason,
i dont see any blinking text... only in pure black text:

Hmmn, at first glance, host appeared to accept a message for relay.
THIS MAY OR MAY NOT MEAN THAT IT'S AN OPEN RELAY.

Noone claimed that the spec was very clear about this. You can only

It's up to the mail client whether it deletes messages through POP3.

Searched the list archives, the FAQ and other docs and didn't find a good
explanation of what it is looking for and not finding.
FWIW hostname+domain for this machine does not resolve by DNS at this time
because I am building the machine on my home LAN (behind NAT and a
firewall) to secure it and test it before we put it out for the world to
see. I don't know if that will cause a problem or not.
This isn't alot of informaiton to go on, but I don't know what else to

It means it is unable to read its control files. That means you have an
ownership or perms problem somewhere in the /var/qmail/control tree or
on the actual files in the control directory.

please disregard, I recompiled on a hunch, and discovered an error that

Sorry, I couldn't find your host's canonical name in DNS.
You will have to set up control/me yourself.
which explains why the proper files were not created or found.

Hello all,
I am puzzled by what is happening when retrieving mail through
courier-imap. I connect to my Maildir remotely and I know that there is
no mail in my Maildir, but yet I am getting 24 duplicate messages back.
Where are these messages coming from? I tried to connect to another
user's Maildir and I got back 8 duplicate messages (not the same as my
messages). I don't have any messages in /var/spool/mail/ and I am
certain that when I send mail to the Maildirs, that they are going into
there proper mail directories. Any ideas anyone?
Thank you all!
Hi,
We just installed qmail 1.03 on a RedHat Linux 6.1 machine. We were
previously using our ISP's mail server to send out a batch of about 200
emails at the end each day with a Perl script that uses the Net::SMTP to
send then out.
The migration to qmail went great except for one minor issue:
Our Bcc: recipients are getting double copies of our messages while the To:
recipients are correctly receiving one message. This is happening only
when sending out our emails through the Perl script.
If I write the emails using the Cc: field instead of the Bcc:
field, everyone correctly receives only one message.
The same code has been used for over a year and this has only shown up
after the migration to qmail.
I have looked through the documentation, Life With Qmail, and searched
through the mailing lists. I found a lot on double bounces other bcc
issues but didnt find much on my type of problem.
Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated!
Sincerely,
Christopher Taranto
My script is as follows:
<snip>
my $file_contents =
$string->file_to_string($filepath);
my $header = '';
($header) =
split(/\r?\n\r?\n/,$file_contents);
my $to = '';
my $from = '';
my @cc = ();
my @bcc = ();
$to = $1 if
($header =~ /to:\s*([^\r\n]+)/is);
$from = $1 if ($header
=~ /from:\s*([^\r\n]+)/is);
@cc =
split(/\s*,\s*/,$1) if ($header =~ /cc:\s+([^\r\n]+)/is);
# remove bcc lines :)
if ($header =~ /bcc:\s+([^\r\n]+)/is) {
@bcc = split(/\s*,\s*/,$1);
$header =~
s/bcc:\s+[^\r\n]+\r?\n//is;
}
$smtp->mail($from);
$smtp->to($to);
# now send to the b?cc's
foreach (@cc,@bcc) {
$smtp->recipient($_);
}
$smtp->data();
$smtp->datasend("$file_contents\r\n");
$smtp->dataend();
Hi guys
I need to be able to have the assign file (or at least the cdb) updated
across my servers each time the main server updates. The main server is
currently serving /etc/passwd across NIS, and each other server is acting as
a slave server, in case our main one goes down. Mail is delivered form the
main server via NFS to each of the subsidiaries, which are mounted using
automount. When the server (particularly NFS) is not available, the master
server will defer (since it has users/assign), but the slave servers won't
because they don't have a users/assign file.
Now, I know some of you are thinking NIS & NFS..."look in the FAQ". That is
fine, I have created the assign and cdb files with no problems. But I need
these files to be distributed (note: different from simply accessible)
across the network as soon as qmail-newu is run. Now, I can hack qmail-newu
a bit to call some other command to do the updating, but if possible I want
to be able to distribute via NIS. I'd prefer to not have to implement LDAP
since I don't really have the time at the moment... On that note, does
anyone know how I can modify the NIS Makefile to distribute assign and/or
cdb, or any other way of allowing other servers to 'share' these files so
that mail is deferred when the connection is not available. Between all the
servers, all users on our domain look local, even if their Maildir is stored
on another server. The NFS link from the main server delivers mail to the
correct location, and on each of the subsidiaries which don't have shares
for each machine, ~alias/.qmail-default simply forwards undeliverable local
mail to the main relay. If the link is down, SMTP will be deferred - no
problems there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hi,
I host a domain name, say, "myfirstdomain" at
a webhosting company that has "catch-all"
e-mail feature. So, any email send to
"anyname@myfirstdomain" will be forwarded to
"othername@myotherdomain" (a qmail alias
at myotherdomain).
I have full access to myotherdomain.
I would like to forward the incoming emails from
myfirstdomain to "othername-anyname@myotherdomain"
( In ~alias/.qmail-othername file, I wish I can put:
|forward othername-$ENVVAR )
Is there an environment variable that contains
original recipient username ("anyname"), so that
I can forward the emails to
"othername-anyname@myotherdomain"?
Thanks.
Regards,
Muhamad
