I can only guess, but maybe you should check your $QMAILUID and
$NOFILESGID. Is 502 the GID for the group nofiles? Does
$NOFILESGID contain more than that number?

In addition to Oliver's suggestion, ensure you are actually recompiling the
.cdb file from your rules file; just changing the rules file will be
insufficient, unless you're cron'ing its regeneration.

hello friends
how can i log everything handled by qmail-smtpd , qmail-send
,qmail-qmqpd and auth_pop for qmail-pop3d authentication failures
i am running qmail-smtpd under tcpserver also installed daemons tools
, but was't able to find proper docs on how to configure ,
all these tools to get complete log related mail ativities
how can i restrict Max failed login attampts to 3 , i am using
auth_pop along with qmail_pop3d
thanks and regards

qmail-smtpd and qmail-qmqpd don't log anything. There are patches to
add logging to qmail-smtpd. qmail-send logs to standard
output. There's only one level of logging: everything. I don't know
what auth_pop is. I can't remember if qmail-pop3d logs anything, but I
don't think it does. tcpserver can be made to log all connection
attempts.

The LWQ installation logs everything.

You'd have to modify your checkpassword utility to do this.

I's also look at the defaultdelivery parameter on the qmail-start

The limit on my list server is 500, and I routinely hit it. It's an

Well, that's going to be the first choice, as I do my own DNS. But only did it the
first time.
What would be missing where in the DNS setup to cause this?

Greg isn't talking about your DNS he's talking about the people who
manage the reverse DNS, the one that answers for 63.105.9.34 which looks
to be uunet. Leastwise they're responsible for 63.105.
If it's uunet, they have to fix their DNS by either adding a reverse entry
or delegating name serving of your IP(s) to you.
As I said previously, contact your ISP to get them to fix it or contact the
folks at Freebsd.org. It's currently not a problem you can fix at your end.
Regards.

You'd have to recreate them. djbdns config files are much, much simpler
than bind's.
Unfortunately, that also means that they're different.
On the positive side, creating all the config files you need for djbdns
is about as hard as creating the reverse zone files you need for your
ptr records. On the negative side, you'll have to do a bit more work
up front, to install djbdns and daemontools. On the positive side,
you'll be saving yourself a lot of work in the long run.
If you don't want to install djbdns (and there's a mailing list for that:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]), what you have to do with bind is create
another zone (or perhaps multiple zones) for your ptr entries, and
populate it with ptr records. Your bind docs should tell you the details.
[Final aside: ptr records can [but don't have to] give identifying
information, but the real reason that some won't accept mail from a
machine without ptr records is that you have to know a little bit about
how dns works before you set them up. And, lots of spammers don't know
how about dns. So, basically, they're an acid test that some spammers
don't pass.]

I certainly run via a UUnet connection, but I think I am responsable for
63.105.9.32/27
So whatever UUnet's DNS say's should come from my setup right?

I thought before I even wrote the first message that the problem had to do with
reverse DNS as I think hub.FreeBSD.org is trying to find the host name for
63.105.9.34. That by itself should be defined in my DNS setup as far as I know.

Does this change anything or is it still UUnet's responsability?

According to ARIN, The block is SWIP'd to you, but you do not
have reverse delegated to you, therefore it is still up to UUNet
to handle reverse DNS for you:

Well possibly. But uunet have to change their DNS to say that your DNS is
the authoritative server for that range of addresses. They haven't done that bit.
Just as the .cc people had to add an entry to say that your name servers are
responsible for smartsoft.cc so do the 63.105.9 people have to add an entry to say
that your name servers are responsible for 63.105.9.32/27

He needs to email [EMAIL PROTECTED] and ask for an RFC2317 style reverse

I am experiencing some problems with sending e-mail to certain
domains.
It turns out that their reverse lookup (DNS) does not respond
properly. I have checked my setup, but it seems that there is
something wrong on the UUnet end of the setup.
Please could you make sure you've setup a RFC2317 style reverse
delegation for 63.105.9.32/27 since I do run my own DNS.
Thanks!
Jan

Actually, the ISP had to delegate the reverse IP's, or the reverse zone,
and it appears that they have done this as of today, at least partially:
root@frodo:~# dig -x 63.105.9.34
; <<>> DiG 8.2 <<>> -x
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 4
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0
;; QUERY SECTION:

;; ANSWER SECTION:
34.9.105.63.in-addr.arpa. 0S IN CNAME 34.32.9.105.63.in-addr.arpa.
(partial dig results).
However, the CNAME in the answer is invalid:
root@frodo:~# dig any 34.32.9.105.63.in-addr.arpa @auth100.ns.uu.net
; <<>> DiG 8.2 <<>> any 34.32.9.105.63.in-addr.arpa @auth100.ns.uu.net
; (1 server found)

hostmaster.uu.net. (
(partial dig output).
Still pretty messed up... Maybe they're just preparing to delegate the
zone, but now instead of answering NXDOMAIN for the first PTR record,
they're answering with a CNAME that resolves to NXDOMAIN....

It doesn't seem right to attribute it to LWQ if it's not in LWQ.
I use the lwq.w3.to URL because it's short. Do people find the pop-up
ad annoying? If so, I could set up http://lwq.sill.org to redirect to
http://web.infoave.net/~dsill/lwq. In fact, I think I'll do that
anyway[1]. Unfortunately, sill.org sits on a 28.8K dialup, so I can't
serve LWQ (in volume) directly. Maybe someday I'll get decent
connectivity.[2]

This should work. The number (3 in this case) means to wait 3 seconds
before redirecting. Set it to 0 to go immediately. This goes in the
index.html file at lwq.sill.org

Hi guys,
Is there anyway I can limit the file attachment size for my qmail clients?
I wouldn't want anyone trying to send the first half of Episode I mpeg.
I've read the many pages of documents and I might have overlooked that part
if it's there, but I don't remember seeing it.

Why attachment? Why not the whole e-mail? Use
control/databytes, plus perhaps DATABYTES on per-IP basis.

strip removes debugging symbols from binaries; if you're running Linux, it
should be in the binutils package, I think.

Hi,
After getting tcpserver working (thanks all for the help!), I have
started qmail.. I think!
If I look at the log for qmail-send I it is full of the error "Alert:
cannot start: unable to read controls!"
This might be a silly question, but I have checked and I do have all the
required files in my /var/qmail/control dir.
Any help would be most appreciated!
Thanks,
Jon.

Are you sure? If there wasn't a problem, you wouldn't see this error. What is
the output of
`ls -ld / /var /var/qmail /var/qmail/control /var/qmail/control/*` ?

I see where this is going, I think that maybe qmail has to have

on the right road?

There's your problem. Nobody can list the contents of /var/qmail/control,
because the execute bits aren't set. Do a `chmod 755 /var/qmail/control`
and everything should work.

But you should. You may have missed the very entry that's causing the problem. Charles
specifically asked for all the output. He did that for a reason. Since you don't know
what is wrong, how can you know which information is superflous?

No we don't. Now we have to go thru this whole process again.

No. qmail only needs to be able to read those controls. That can be thru a variety
of permission strategies. I would actually discourage ownership by any of the qmail
uids and instead leave it similar to what you have.
How about running qmail-showctl and showing us all of the output?
How about running ls -l /var/qmail/controls and showing us all of the output
his time?

Just to be pedantic, The 'r' bit is for listing the directory, but the
'x' bit controls access to the files in the directory. So, qmail would
have been able to list the files but not open them.

Mea culpa. Thanks for the correction. I suppose I should have realized
that, as qmail shouldn't need to list files -- the filenames are hardcoded,
correct?

He probably means /var/spool/mail/$USER format, which is referred to as vsm
in some of the qmail docs.
Kunal: I don't know where you can find information on this. However, you
probably don't want VSM format for your mail. There are far better solutions
out there, namely djb's Maildir structure.

If you use rbldns to serve your own RBL lists, its data file needs
consist of only one line:
0.0.0.0/0
This will make your mail queue very clean and manageable. :-)

If you need mail delivered to /var/spool/mail/$USER, then you don't
want or need Maildirs.

Write a script to loop through the messages and append them to the
/var/spool/mail/$USER mailbox after prefising them with "From "
lines.

Wait... ./Mailbox or ./Maildir? Which POP3 daemon are you using? If
you're using one that looks in /var/spool/mail/$USER, then it won't
look in the user's home directory (unless you create a link) and the
mailbox will have to be in mbox format, not maildir format.

But qmail not work in only maildirs mode. pop3 daemon know about ONLY

I'm don't want use other software (like sendmail,procmail,qpopper and etc),
but want be use mailbox-like style.

Too many capacibility parts of disk's. We must use only /var/spool/mail for
storage messages.
I'm make next (ex. for user BOB):
mkdir /var/spool/mail/bob
mkdir /var/spool/mail/bob/cur
.........................................../new
.........................................../tmp
chown bob.users /var/spool/mail/bob
chown bob.users * -R (in bob directory)
chmod 0700 /var/spool/mail/bob
etc..
in $HOME :
echo -n >.qmail
echo ./Maildir/ > .qmail
ln -s /var/spool/mail/bob Maildir
and all work, but this curved :-/
I am want use Mailbox in $HOME. And kill Maildir with /var/spool/mail/*
qmail-pop3d not work with Mailbox :-(

./Mailbox! ;-) I am want and using qmail-pop3d.
Resume: qmail-pop3d work with ./Mailbox or no?

Sorry, that's not possible. You'll either need to use maildirs or
switch to a POP daemon like Solid[1].

You'll need to use /bin/mail, procmail, or some other local delivery
agent. qmail-local only delivers to $HOME.

Wait a minute...I thought you said you had to use /var/spool/mail, not
$HOME. Which is it?

Something like:
for i in `find Maildir -type f -print`; do
echo >>/var/spool/mail/$USER
echo "root@localhost Wed Sep 27 13:39:32 2000" >>/var/spool/mail/$USER
sed 's/^From/>From/' $i >>/var/spool/mail/$USER
done
Which is completely untested and likely to Kill Your Dog (tm)[2].
>Resume: qmail-pop3d work with ./Mailbox or no?
No.
So why do you want to use mbox? Maildir is superior.

You're really confused here. A Maildir is not just an mbox named "Maildir".
They're fundamentally different. Programs which expect mail to be stored
in mbox format in /var/spool/mail/$USER will not understand a Maildir there,
which is what you're trying to accomplish above.
Yes, qmail-pop3d does not understand anything but Maildirs. So use
qpopper instead; it can use /var/spool/mail/$USER mboxes.

Hi,
I used to access thru a script the anti-spam list usually found at:
http://www.webeasy.com:8080/spam/spam_download_table
but it hasn't been working for weeks now, do you guys know any other
updated TXT-format anti-spam list of users and domains that i can use to
fill my badmailfrom file and block at least *some* of the spam in my qmail?
Thanks,
Enrique-

stunnel works fine and that way you need no code changes to qmail.

It's not easy. To do it right, you'd have to run all your mail through
a general filter (see qmail.faqts.com or possibly modify a spam
filter).

Well, he could set up two smtp servers in his net. One for users who are
allowed to send extern mail and other for those who are not allowed. The
first one should use SMTP-AUTH as in:
http://members.elysium.pl/brush/qmail-smtpd-auth/
So, if one annoying user change his smtp server config in the MUA he
would have to authenticate.
Then, he would have a firewall to deny port 25 packets from the second
smtp server to the internet and allow it from the first server.
Is this all ok?

That would work, but I think it would kinda important to tell him that he
needs two servers and authentication to keep people from futzing with it.
That didn't seem to be an assumption in the scenario.

Well it depends a lot on his setup. First off, he didn't particularly say
that all the users came in via smtp. Maybe they have shell access?
Second. The address allocation may be via DHCP or somesuch that is
not within his control.
Third. The users may use shared PCs.
Fourth. He may not have the ability to put a firewall on his machine.
I think that's why Dave said it's difficult as each avenue of entry
has to be addressed. That's not to say your idea wont work, but we need
to know the full situation - which hasn't been stated.
Regards.
hi,

the sending part could be done by selective reaying with tcp rules /tcp.smtp).
sorry, but not any good idea for the receiving part (maybe some dot-qmail fiddeling?
dropping each mail where the sender-domain is
not your local email-domain) btw: to me it seems not quite polite anyway

Even with shell access, one would have to connect to a port 25 on the
other side to send its msgs. This would not be possible with the
firewall. These users would have to use the first server as a relay if
they want to send msgs to the net.

My suggestion has nothing to do with the client IP adresses. All the
machine in the local net should not have access to extern port 25 but
the only relay smtp server (the first one).
> Third. The users may use shared PCs.

Again, the same reply above. And they would have to authenticate in the
smtp server.

Well, there is a lot of free firewall systems avaliable in the net. He
could use an extra machine as a firewall or his own mailserver could
have two IP aliases for the smtp servers and the firewalling abilities.

Ok... I was wrong saying it would be a 'simple single firewal'. But, I
think he would be able to do what he wants.

Whaa? Most Unix UAs do not connect to an SMTP server directly, but submit
via qmail-inject (or more likely a sendmail wrapper).
What if user 'a' can send externally and user 'b' cannot and they both
use, eg, mailx?
The answer is that they'd have to be permissioned and pathed to use
seperate instances of qmail.

If they do that they will be on the same machine, and they should be
able to do that. But if they want to send an internet mail they will
have to connect to port 25 of the extern host if they want to use smtp.
qmail-inject and any sendmail wrapper actually connect to port 25 when
sending extern mail.

Whaa? This is completely wrong. Neither qmail-inject nor the sendmail wrapper
connects to port 25 at all!
They both utimately give the mail to qmail-queue which gives it to qmail-send
which gives it to qmail-rspawn which gives it to qmail-remote who hasn't the
foggiest idea who the real submittor is and has no authentication information
to give to the SMTP connection on port 25 that it establishes totally independently
of your submission.
At what part of the qmail-inject process do you think you give the
authentication information? There is none.
Have you actually tried what you propose?

Well, You're right! He will have some problem if he want some shell
users to have extern mail access and some not!
Still, I don't know how could qmail-inject(qmail-remote) and sendmail
send msgs to other hosts without connecting to port 25...

A couple of possiblities:
qmail-inject does not connect to anything - it uses qmail-queue to insert a
message into the qmail queue. It must be run on the machine that is running
qmail.
qmail-remote - introduced if a message is in queue and is not being
delivered locally - connects to a remote mail service and transmits the
message.
TO OTHER HOSTS - yes, a remote transfer must take place.
TO ENTER MAIL SYSTEM - no. If there is a mail system running on the current
machine, there is no need whatsoever to use a remote connection to get it
into the mail system.
---
And if you want to be technical, you don't have to run your
remote-connectable mail server on port 25, if the servers transmitting to it
are informed...

Well, if it called qmail-remote then the msg is to be sent remotely. Or
qmail-send would call qmail-lspawn which would give it to qmail-local.
What do you mean for 'mail system'?

Then you would be able to send msgs only to those informed. If you want
to be able to send msg to virtually everyone in the net you should use
SMTP.

If, by "return-address" you mean the envelope return path, it's
determined at the time the message is injected. If it's injected via
SMTP, it comes from the the MAIL command. If it's injected locally,
it's either specified by the MUA or defaulted from the From field. I'm
not aware of any circumstances where it's set from the MX record.

Users should configure their MUA's to use beforeFirewall in their
e-mail addresses. If that's not an option, the FAQ describes a way to
rewrite messages:

Eh, it's the ISP's decision, i don't like it either.

In this case it was the MUA. I was told the return address was
either empty or entered with the right (before firewall) address,
and jumped to conclusions.

If you're talking about limiting the number of simultaneous connections:
that's what the -c option is for. If that's not what you're talking

Hi
I would like to know if someone has used qmail reading usernames and
passwords from a table in MS SQL 7 using openlink's ODBC driver?.
I have learned that it can be done modifing vpopmail to use this driver,
but i would like to know if anyone have already done it succesfully, and,
idealy, if i can download a vpopmail that alrready has this changes done.

hi again,

just to ensure, the pc itself can connect to the pop3-server try the following from
the pc:
telnet to your popserver port 110
and then type the following sequence:
user <username> [enter]
result: +OK
pass <passwd> [enter]
result: +OK
list [enter]
should show a list of the messages waiting for the user logged in
quit [enter]
ends the session
if that goes ok, the question is to be forwarded to redmond

I think he's saying that you need to configure tcpserver to set
SESSIONLIMIT on a per-host basis, e.g., in tcp.smtp:
128.219.128.125:allow,RELAYCLIENT="",SESSIONLIMIT=10
128.219.:allow,SESSIONLIMIT=5

Hi,
I am using qmail 1.03 along with tcpserver, the problem i have is that
apparently my ~qmaild/control/badmailfrom file is not blocking anything
at all, for instance i have tried sending mail from some remote unauthorized
location as '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' which *IS* listed in that file and the sender
-unexpectedly- is acepted:
% telnet myhost.mydomain 25
Connected.
220 myhost.mydomain ESMTP
...
mail from: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
250 ok
Besides, command "ls -lu ~qmaild/control/badmailfrom" reports that the file
is not even being read, am i missing something somewhere?

Well. If you had given us your real details we could have worked out
what was happening because...

...that does not test it.
But we can't really tell for you.
Did you consider giving us real details so that we can help?
> Besides, command "ls -lu ~qmaild/control/badmailfrom" reports that the file

Your missing on giving us real information.
Regards.
I am experiencing this as well. It only occurs with Micro$oft Outlook
Express. The computers that are having this issue can connect to the
mail server using telnet to port 25 and 110, so it seems that MOE is the
problem.
If anyone has any info on the cause/solution please share it with the
list, thank you.

Hi,
I am trying to install a virus scanner for my qmail mail server. and
I have downloaded and installed the Trend Mico Interscan Viruswall for
Linux. Then, I went through all the documentations about Interscan.
Superising.....What I found out is that I don't have to use this product
(Interscan Viruswall) with qmail-scanner in order to get it to work.
Intersan Viruswall will automatically scan all smtp traffic then pass it
back to the smtp server (qmail-smtp). As this implying that I don't need to
use qmail-scanner with interscan viruswall.
What I want to know is that Do I need to use qmail-scanner in order to work
with interscan viruswall for qmail ?
What is the major function for qmail-scanner.?? I have checked with the
qmail-scanner site. I think the major function is to block any viurs with
certain characteristics...like .vbs. Am I right ??
Thank you so much for your help.

Correct. If you use Viruswall/emanager you don't need qmail-scanner.
>What is the major function for qmail-scanner.?? I have checked with the
>qmail-scanner site. I think the major function is to block any viurs with
>certain characteristics...like .vbs. Am I right ??
qmail-scanner handles unpacking the message's attachments and then
runs two or three passes across the resulting mess of files.
Pass A: commercial virus scanner
Pass B: Perlscanner.. which handles attachment removal and keyword matching.
Pass C: Redundant scan of the original message
(in case the commercial virus scanner can do a better job)
I just completed an installation of qmail and qmail-scanner.
I also evaluated Interscan VirusWall.
Qmail/qmail-scanner won on the following grounds:
1) For ~$130 I was able to get two copies of NAI's virus scanner for linux)
Viruswall was going to be about $1500 each ($3k total)
2) I liked qmail's configuration and documentation. Though it IS a bit sparse in the
'bringing it all together' category. LWQ saved me a lot of hours. Thanks Dave!
3) qmail/qmail-scanner is Open Source, so I can always figure out what's happening
and "fix it myself."
4) Best of all: No salesman to call and ask me if I want to upgrade for only $xxx!
5) Viruswall seems to REQUIRE the use of sendmail. And not just a sendmail wrapper.
It wants to modify sendmail config files to insure it has it's hooks in the right
place.
I could be wrong on this point (and I'm sure someone will correct me if so.)
Perhaps this is for outgoing smtp .. sendmail -> viruswall? .. Don't remember, as
I junked all of my notes after deciding upon qmail...
Oh.. You want a feature comparison?
1) Interscan Viruswall + eManager allows the following:
a) virus signature matching
b) keyword matching
c) file attachment extension matching
d) A bunch of other stuff which I didn't want to use.
2) Qmail/qmail-scanner won't do the following:
a) Automatic virus dat file updates (Cron to the rescue!)
b) Scan HTTP and FTP transfers
c) ActiveX and Java blocking

Hi,
I am using qmail 1.03 with tcpserver, the problem is that i wrote some
scripts to tell me when services go down, usually with sendmail I will do it
with
echo "message" | /usr/lib/sendmail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
with qmail I try to do the same but I can't, because the
/var/qmail/bin/sendmail is gone... so I try to do it with qmail-inject
echo To:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject
and works... it sends a black email, my question is how to put some subject
or body to the email???
can someone help me??

qmail ships with a sendmail 'wrapper'. Depending on how you installed it,
it may have ended up as /usr/lib/sendmail. Did you try that?

I don't know why you don't have a "/var/qmail/bin/sendmail". There's
one on my box. I'd do a 'find / -name sendmail ' if I were you.
to answer your question:
you should be able to use to format :
echo "MESSAGE" | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject [EMAIL PROTECTED]
that's if you just want a simple message. If you want something elaborate
you have other options.

The word "spine" is, of course, an anagram of "penis". This is true in
almost fifty percent of the languages of the Galaxy, and many people
have attempted to explain why. Usually these explanations get bogged
down in silly puns about "standing erect".

That'll work in bash. In csh and tcsh you'll need backslashes at the end
of each line.

While there are some unpleasant surprises after an RH 6.2 -> 7.0 upgrade,
there is good news: sendmail is not installed anymore by default if you
have an rpm that provides and MTA and it conflicts with sendmail. It
means, in particular, that the sendmail links in /usr/lib and /usr/sbin
are not removed.
Another thing of general interest: inetd is replaced by xinetd. This
means that if you had telnet and friends run under tcpserver, and you
commented their lines out in inetd.conf---they will still be started under
xinetd.
What is a really unpleasant surprise: I could not log in so far while xdm
is running. But that is offtopic...

I would like to know if someone has used qmail reading usernames and
passwords from a table in MS SQL 7 using openlink's ODBC driver.
I have learned that it can be done modifing vpopmail to use this driver,
but i would like to know if anyone have already done it succesfully, and,
idealy, if i can download from somewhere a vpopmail that alrready has this
changes done.
Thanks anyway
Hello, i have a small problem, when qmail sends a bounce message,
it does not put a Message-Id entry in the header. At the begining i though
it was normal but i saw that sendmail bounces do get that entry in the
header. Maybe it is a misconfiguration, i really don't know.
Thanks for your help.

qmail just doesn't do that. Message-ID are not required.

'/ignore-ance is bliss' - me
i would like to be able to keep some of my .qmail files out of my home
dir as they are cluttering it up as i add new lists. also i would like
to be able to manage ~alias's .qmail files as my user id. i own the
entire private net and box so i don't have any problems with security
and there are no other users.
i tried to make ~alias's files owned by me but it seems to fail. i just
don't want to have to su to root to create new lists and such in ~alias.
any ideas? i didn't see anything about this in the FAQ or on the qmail
pages.
thanx,

To quote myself from http://www.qmail.org/top.html:
Vern Hart doesn't like a pile of .qmail files in his home
directory. So he uses users/assign to put them into a
subdirectory:
=vern:vern:2244:18:/home/vern:::
+vern-:vern:2244:18:/home/vern:s/::
This puts .qmail and .qmail-default in his home directory but
everything else is in .qmails/. This changes ~/.qmail-foo to
~/.qmails/foo and really cleans up his home.
As far as the alias user goes, you could change the name in the
source code or give the alias user the same uid as yourself in
/etc/passwd. Or, better yet, su to alias to create lists and such.
You don't have to be root, just be alias. Or, your could set up
a virtualdomain for the main domain on the box and have it send the
mail to your .qmail files, etc. There's lots of ways to solve that
problem.
Cheers,
Vern

that is exactly what i wanted. it took a few tries to clean up all my
bugs (like the file is .qmails/foo and not .qmails/.qmail-foo).

well, my current setup has ~alias symlinked to ~/Mail/alias. the dir is
setgid qmail andthe files are readable by the group.
all i have in there is .qmail-default which is set to:
&[EMAIL PROTECTED]
and an list mmg has .qmail-mmg set to:
&[EMAIL PROTECTED]
i have a shell func which makes new lists:
ezmake ()
{
ezmlm-make ~/Mail/lists/$1 ~/Mail/qmails/$1 $1 sysarch.com;
echo "&uri-$[EMAIL PROTECTED]" >~/Mail/alias/.qmail-$1
}
so for it looks good. both internal and external (via fetchmail) mail
works with the lists.
thanx,

I figured it out. For some reason under /service i had literal directories
instead of symlinks

Qmail 1.03, Linux 2.2.17, Slackware 7.1. Incoming mail to a given account
works okay.
A test to [EMAIL PROTECTED] completes properly.
A test to [EMAIL PROTECTED], sent through mail.swbell.net as the
SMTP relay (I'm in their subnet, folks, no funny business) fails, and I
don't understand what I'm missing.
In a previous incarnation of this box, this kind of delivery worked
correctly. When that box crashed, I managed to save /etc and /var/qmail,
and I dropped them into the new setup. Obviously I missed something and
would appreciate a pointer in the right direction. Directions to TFMs and
FAQs (specific sections please, since I've missed them) would be welcome.
An example bounce looks like this:

Which indicates ~lists/.qmail is working properly.

Probably ~lists/.qmail-jobs or ~lists/.qmail-defaults.

Basically.
Pine figures that it can't trust /usr/lib/sendmail, so it appends
the host name to the mail address. But, fortunately, it gives you
the option of putting:
user-domain=mobiletones.com
in its config file.

Only if people use software which has been configured in a way which
appends pluto.office.mobiletones.com.
One thing people sometimes do for this is use a wildcard mx -- basically
saying that any mail for *.office.mobiletones.com is delivered to some
set of mail servers.

It won't work by default, but something like that could be made to work.
Basically, it is delivered instantly to their pop mailbox, and the trick
is to deliver the notification. I seem to recall that samba had support
for winpopup messages -- if you could live with those (perhaps delaying
popups if the user has an active pop session, etc.)

Is (has) anyone looked into using something like immunix.org's compiler to
protect qmail/vpopmail etc. from
stack smashing attacks?
Is anyone familiar with the exposure of these programs to this type of attack?
Is it a non-issue due to the exceptional coding techniques / raw talent of
qmail&vpopmail programmers? ;-)
And no, I don't work for, or have any other self-interest in immunix. I've just
been reading up on these methods of stack smashing attack prevention.
