Quite annoying... badrcptto is a wonderful thing... I was using "bouncesaying" for a while, but most of the spam double-bounces back to me that way. Might as well let the open relay host handle it, hopefully it will help get somone's attention on that host. ;-) One thing we have found is that sometimes contacting the person listed in the advertisement will help. In one instance we had a spam sent out that included a phone number instead of any electronic means of contact. We called and spoke with the business owner and reamed him a new one. He had outsourced the sending, so we got to tell him just how clueless they were. :-) Sean -- Brooks's Law of Prototypes: Plan to throw one away, you will anyhow.

Just wondering. Thanks. The FreeBSD qmail port puts the configure scripts in /var/qmail/configure/ so that you don't need to actually go into the source directory. IIRC that book is based on FreeBSD and qmail. Looks like Rich Blum hasn't even compiled his own qmail then. Shame! Anyway, the scripts are in the source directory. As simple as that.

(not tested) qmail doesn't spend all of it's time rescanning the queue, so that will not have any immediate effects I'm afraid.

Title: How does one set the return-path different from the sender?
The header <Return-path> needs to refer to a particular address unrelated
to the sender. This is to have bounced emails handled internally.Is there a way to have qmail overwrite the return-path header value with
a set address rather than the sender's address?Toby Steel

Title: How does one configure a 1-way open relay?
How does one set up qmail as a oneway outgoing email only relay?
Of course one does not want an open relay to be accessible to incoming
SMTP messages, but we need to have sender/recipient be anyone/anyone.I have remove control/rcpthosts to enable the open relay, but I need
to ensure that message requests come from the local network and
not from anywhere else. Do you think this is a firewall configuration issue?
I.e. place the mail-server in between firewalls and accept only SMTP requests
from local IP. But wouldn't that prevent the handshake with a remote mailserver
to enable a message to be sent?Toby Steel

I added '-DFD_SETSIZE=16384' to conf-cc in the qmail source tree, that worked wonders. No need to edit actual kernel include files.

Hello , does anybody know a real good documentation for qmail running with vpopmail? I cant get it work. Thank you very much for help. so long Hans-Juergen
I'm trying to write an efficient C interface to feed messages with large recipient lists (500k+ subs) to qmail. I've set up a pipe to qmail-queue in the style of qmail.c and ezmlm, except I'm not using the substdio library. The pipe works fine for small distribution lists, but I'm getting consistent blocking after writing about 10KB of addresses (around 400 recipients) to the pipe. qmail-queue is blocked in read() and my returns EAGAIN indefinitely on write(), or blocks indefinitely without O_NONBLOCK set. Obvious stuff: 1. set O_NONBLOCK on the fds to which I'm writing 2. double-checked validity of data written to pipe: null-terminated, no address exceeding 1003 bytes, all recipient addresses preceded w/ 'T' 3. Checking return value of write() and writing in multiple passes, as necessary Am I missing something? Anyone else successfully written a C interface to qmail-queue they'd be willing to share? Thanks, -Jeff

Sounds like an OS bug. If you're sure that qmail-queue is sitting on the pipe read and you're sitting on a pipe write to the same pipe. What OS? Can you test your code on another box with a different kernel/OS? > Am I missing something? Anyone else successfully written a C interface to > qmail-queue they'd be willing to share? Plenty of people have done it via qmail-inject with larger numbers than that, and qmail-inject doesn't do anything special. Certainly there is no need for you to go thru the machinations of non-blocking I/O, etc. Regards.

You need two pipes to send information to qmail-queue. In which order are you writing and closing them? qmail-queue reads the mail message first from descriptor 0--it reads all data until the pipe is closed. Then it reads the address information from descriptor 1. The error you are describing is exactly what would happen if you write more than PIPE_BUF bytes (often 10240) to descriptor 1 before you close descriptor 0 after writing the message to it. Ian

Exactly--that's it. I was closing descriptor 0 only after I finishing writing to descriptor 1. Is this perhaps appropriate for the qmail-queue manpage or FAQ? Thanks for your help. -Jeff

That's why it's in the manpage already :) DESCRIPTION qmail-queue reads a mail message from descriptor 0. It then reads envelope information from descriptor 1.

Yeah, I read through that and while it implies that you terminate the session by doing a close, it doesn't say that. It could, for example, terminate it by a line consisting only of '.'...

Yes, the implication is there, but it's hardly what I'd call clear. Beter yet: "qmail-queue reads a message from descriptor 0. After EOF is received on descriptor 0, it reads envelope information from descriptor 1." By the way, does anyone have any interest in comparing notes on really high volume qmail configs? I'm looking for performance in the range of 200-250k remote deliveries per hour. We're halfway there with relatively few modifications on a modest dual-processor Sun. Before we really start digging into the code (or throwing more hardware at it), I'd like to hear from others who are dealing with similar volumes. Thanks, -Jeff

In my time, I've seen /many/ personal e-mails end up on mailing lists, and I've had it happen myself a few times. I am thankful for lists that don't set reply to, since most people I deal with (including myself) prefer reply-to-all. I don't have time to sift through all newsgroups and lists all the time, and having people reply to my personal address as well as the list suits me all ways... HOWEVER, in saying that, I would really like to see more MUA's with Reply (using Reply-To defaulting to From), Reply-To-All and Reply-To-List (reply to the mailing list field)...

Anyway, I'd recommend using daemontools over a SysV init script. http://pobox.com/~tu/qmail-conf.html will certainly help you with that. > (See attached file: qmail.txt) That was a DOS file. Did you break it while mailing it or is it broken on your system? Open it with a decent editor. Do you see something like '"qmail.txt" [noeol][dos] 70L, 2455C'? Then run it through recode. -- Enhanced for MS Internet Explorer: <http://socha.net/>
hi people ! how do i create a new ssl-certificate (which was created with the apache-ssl installation and only works for 1 month!) ? thanks for help Martin -- http://www.kos.li/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] +41-76-384-93-33 ICQ# 13556143 Say NO to HTML in mail and news Proudly running Debian GNU/Linux.

I thought this was a qmail list. Oh well... I'm not positive, but I think you have to use the -make-apache-certificate-work-longer option while compiling qmail. :-) Dave -----Original Message----- From: Martin Kos [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, October 30, 2000 6:48 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: apache ssl hi people ! how do i create a new ssl-certificate (which was created with the apache-ssl installation and only works for 1 month!) ? thanks for help Martin -- http://www.kos.li/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] +41-76-384-93-33 ICQ# 13556143 Say NO to HTML in mail and news Proudly running Debian GNU/Linux.

Hello, I�m running qmail with vpopmail. Everything works fine so far, but the messages don�t get delivered in the Users Maildir. They always get stucked in the queue/intd and in queue/todo. Is it a qmail-inject error? Does anybody know how to fix that problem? Thank you very much and so long Hans-Juergen

hi guys. just a question. i've applied qmail-ldap-1.03-20000701.patch and it's working fine. i also have pop3 and imap working (courier-imap 1.2.1). Now i need to use SMTP AUTH so i can deal with roaming users. i've applied qmail-smtpd-auth-0.26, but i can't get it work. docs say that i need checkpassword and cmd5checkpw, but they don't user ldap. how can i make it work? does anybody has something like this? thanks in advance juan
Hi, My network has 2 connections to the internet, 2 different backbones. I'm thinking about to write the dns registry (mx record) with 2 ip addresses. Is this the best way to avoid breaks in my email service? In the right case, should I start one tcpserver to each ip address? Best regards, Ari

It's not qmail's job to act as a router, its the network layer's job to route packets. Are the seperate routes to your network advertised on the Internet so packets follow the best link in? > I'm thinking about to write the dns registry (mx record) with 2 ip > addresses.

Remote MTAs will pick an IP without knowledge of which advertised IP is the best IP to send data to given the network topology. Your scheme won't result in traffic taking the best route in/out of your network, though if you give both IPs the same MX preference inbound SMTP connections may balance between your two links.

Hello I installed Qmail by following "life with Qmail" but can not start it until now. I get the following Error Message when I start the Qmail Script (qmail start). ./run 502: command not found ./run 102: command not found ./run 20: command not found Have you an idea about the problem ? Thank you !
I have installed qmail and it seems to more or less work. I can connect to POP3 but my usernames/passwords are never authorised. I am using the setup as described in the FAQ. I am using SuSE Linux. Any help appreciated.
Hi, I have a problem about aliases from sendmail. Now my system uses sendmail and aliases. I want to change to be qmail and want to keep /etc/aliases. My problem is about aliases. aaa: [EMAIL PROTECTED] bbb: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ccc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From my old system (sendmail) ,this server (host1.com) will recieve mail from anyone who sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Such as if anyone sent mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], it will check in /etc/aliases then forward to [EMAIL PROTECTED] that is an exist user on localhost. But in case of fastforward when anyone sent mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] , it won't not forward to [EMAIL PROTECTED] How can I solve this problem ? Regards, Effy.
Hi, I have a problem with my qmail / vpopmail setup. Every hour, my users/assign file gets overwritten by what looks like a version created from /etc/passwd. I have not got any jobs running to enable this, so what could be happening? Regards, Jonathan Stokes
