This feature can (and should) be implemented externally, i.e. without
editing the qmail sources at all.
Just take the qmail-smtpd sources and write a new smtpd.

Whoa, whoa, let's not get too excited here. Before you go
rewriting, you should read FAQ 8.2:
] 8.2. How do I keep a copy of all incoming and outgoing mail messages?
]
] Answer: Set QUEUE_EXTRA to "Tlog\0" and QUEUE_EXTRALEN to 5 in extra.h.
] Recompile qmail. Put ./msg-log into ~alias/.qmail-log.
Using this to forward copies however you want is left as a
straightforward exercise for the reader. 'man dot-qmail' will be helpful.

All-
I have a need to process mail server bounces in an automated fashion and
planned to make use of RFC1894 - An Extensible Message Format for Delivery
Status Notifications.
This appears to be used by most of the public mail servers that I have
tested against, but when a mail bounces out of one of my local qmail
machines (e.g., cannot connect after the maximum queue time), the message
that I am receiving back from qmail does not appear to follow the RFC
specification for reporting this error.
Do I have something mis-configured? Is there a patch to bounce using
RFC1894 standards?
Thanks for the help.

[snip how to get qmail to use DSN]
Don't use DSN. VERP provide a much more reliable way of detecting
bounces. qmail supports VERP natively, and any remote hosts need not
even support it.
If you *really* want DSN, any available patches should be listed on
www.qmail.org.

Hi all, I did a bit of a search in the archives but with no answer to
this interesting question.
My boss wants to relay all outgoing mail which has large attachments
through our other, less used, connection to the Internet. I don't mind
placing another mail server on that link, but what I need to know is
how to intercept mail that our users send through our mail server,
check the size of the mail, and if it exceeds a certain size (say,
5mb), then it relays the mail to another qmail relay, otherwise the
current relay treats it as normal outgoing e-mail.
Does anyone have ideas as to how I would implement this? TIA

Use an smtproute and write a small filter that looks at the size and
injects the mail at the proper server.

Need I say that is kind of obvious... In fact that's basically
condensing my original e-mail into a sentence (well done!) But HOW is
what I asked. 'Use an smtproute' - I presume you mean the
smtproutes file? OK I can dynamically create that (I think) with my
filter, but where do I place my filter in the system? And I don't
think it is overly safe changing smtproutes on a per-email basis. If
concurrencyremote was only 1, then OK. But since multiple processes
could be reading the file at the one time, that isn't overly safe.
The other key word I see you use is 'inject'. OK AFAIK qmail-inject
doesn't have an option to send the mail using a specific server. The
only way I could see to do this is send all e-mails that the filter
passes to a Maildir via NFS, and the server on which the e-mail is now
located has a cron job run every few minutes to process the Maildir
and queue it all locally, with this machine having a different
smtproute.
But surely there has to be an easier (and more reliable) method than
this that I can use...
Thanks for your help

There is no built-in mechanism to filter all incoming email, but there
are several virus scanner packets you might want to look at.
Or you could patch your smtpd so that it calls filter-inject.pl instead
of qmail-inject. You have to write filter-inject yourself, though.
Be creative.
Many people have thought about doing input and/or output filtering with
qmail, but noone has done a generic package AFAIK.

Hi all,
I have installed qmail, sqwebmail, vpopmail, vqsignup.
My machine name is "mail.metta.lk"
The installation has been done on a Redhat 7.0
and sqwebmail is in the dir /home/vpopmail/
I have generated the domain name "metta.lk" in the dir below using the
given program.
/home/vpopmail/domains/metta.lk/
I can login to the webserver,
create accounts on the server,
and send mail from the server.
But the server does not deliver mail to the virtual domain "metta.lk"
The MX has been set correctly in the dns and mail is going to
mail.metta.lk but returned. see message below.
I have a feeling that the conflict is because the domain name "metta.lk"
and the virtual domain name "metta.lk" is the same,
and I have not told qmail correctly that it should
deliver incoming mail addressed to "metta.lk" to a virtual domain,
it instead tries to deliver that mail to itself.
The contents of /var/qmail/control is as follows:
-------------------------------------------------
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11 Nov 28 11:45 defaultdelivery
./Maildir/
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9 Nov 28 11:34 defaultdomain

-rw------- 1 root root 0 Dec 8 18:33 virtualdomains.lock
I suspect the virtualdomains incorrect.
below is the returned message.
Your advice is much appriciated

Hmm, vpopmail. It handles virtualdomains a little differently from stock
qmail, IIRC. I'm not a vpopmail user, so I can't help you there.

You probably have "metta.lk" in locals, while it should be only in
rcpthosts and virtualdomains. locals should probably only contain
'localhost' and 'mail.metta.lk'.

I have tried several ways
I also just tried the setup suggested by you
but mail is still not going to domain.
below are the files /var/qmail/control/
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9 Nov 28 11:34 defaultdomain
metta.lk
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 34 Dec 12 14:05 locals
localhost
mail.metta.lk
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 49 Dec 12 14:07 rcpthosts
localhost
mail.metta.lk
metta.lk
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18 Dec 8 18:33 virtualdomains
metta.lk:metta.lk
Thanks for the help.
with best regards

First Excuse my Outlook 2000, corp standard.
The only files you need to be concerned with for virtual hosts using
vpopmail:
/var/qmail/control/rcthosts
metta.lk
/var/qmail/control/virtualdomains
metta.lk:metta.lk
/var/qmail/users/assign
+metta.lk-:metta.lk:512:5002:/home/vpopmail/domains/metta.lk:-::
/home/vpopmail/domains/metta.lk/vpasswd
relevant password entries
All of these changes would have been made if you added the domain with
~vpopmail/bin/vadddomain metta.lk
I would suggest deleting the domain ~vpopmail/bin/vdeldomain metta.lk
and readding it, something is severely screwed up.

Hi to anyone who can help,
The situation that I have is that I have my Linux
box setup with Qmail and I am masquerading all internal IP's to
192.168.0.0/24.
Every email I send out has a header that says it is
coming from unknown (windows share name) 192.168.0.3 and when this gets
sent to hotmail lets say then it gets deferred
saying that it can't make an SMTP connection. This has resulted in me not
being able to
email to anyone at certain hosts due to the
non-routeable IP. Thanks ahead for anyone who has an answer.

All my users are
behind a firewall with IP's 192.168.100.0/32.
I never had a
problem sending to hotmail.
I recently have
changed my tcpserver setting to hide the IP address and
computer name:
# Local Users (hide
hostname and IP
address)
192.168.100.:allow,TCPREMOTEHOST="",TCPREMOTEIP="",RELAYCLIENT=""
Sending to hotmail
from home behind a masq never had a problem (without the hidden settings) and I
never remember an issue before I made my changes here.
Sounds like you
might have other problems (typically hotmail servers have been quite sh*tty in
the past)

Hi,
The qmail is working very well.
I'm trying to remove a message doing the following:
Script to start send:
supervise /var/qmail/supervise/send | \
setuidgid qmaill tai64n | setuidgid qmaill tai64nlocal | \
setuidgid qmaill multilog s1000000 n5 /var/qmail/log/send &
Script to stop:
svc -dx /var/qmail/supervise/send
Steps:
1) stop the send
2) ps ax | grep remote ==> to see the messages that are currently being sent
2.5) kill with -15 the qmail-remote process of the message(s) I want to
cancel
3) tail -f /var/qmail/log/send/current ==> until I see "exiting..."
4) qmail-qread to see the number of messages I want to kill
5) cd /var/qmail/queue
find . -name NUMBER -exec rm -f {} \;
6) start the send again
Sometimes I see the following error:
multilog: fatal: unable to switch to current directory: access denied
At this time, the queue is running but no log, then I kill the send again
and try again to start it, sometimes it works, but sometimes the error is
still there...
How can I stop this error? Is the way I'm trying to delete message ok?
Thanks,
Ari
Ari,

I think you're re-inventing the wheel. Checkout qmHandle, on www.qmail.org.
cheers,
Andrew.
ok, but with qmHandle I need to stop qmail (send and smtp)...

Well there is precisely the biggest bitch about Lookout: most VBS
worms you get _are_ from someone you know and trust, like your mom,
since the worms scour Lookout's blasted address book, eh? Note that I
could write a shell script to do the same thing to mutt, but the
problem is that the unwashed masses are the ones running Upchuck
products. We strongly recommend our customers not use it,
unfortunately many do.
Aaron
Laugh, I have tried.... In vein I might add as anyone knows.
But still they persist.. (sigh)
BTW- Best way to not get a VBS worm is to add a couple of filters and
rework your reg. But I don't recommend that for the light of heart..

So what you are saying, is that to be a good unix admin, you can't use
Windows?
I consider myself a pretty ok unix admin, but I can't live without my W2K
laptop.
It does it's job, and my linux machines are doing theirs. Something I prefer
doing on my W2K laptop, and then agin other I prefer doing on one of my
linux'es.
Just another "MAC is bether than PC", "FreeBSD rulez linux" etc..... Can't
beat them, join them!
BTW: I know my way around on Windows, MAC, Linux, FreeBSD, NextSTEP, etc....
and feel pretty good about it ;-)

Hi,
There are someone using Amavis with Qmail? I had a Qmail+MySQL server
and want to put Amavis on it... I had tryed, and aparently all are working
but the load of the server start to increase until the watchdog process
reboot it!
Without Amavis all work ok! I'll begin to debug what are doing wrong.
Thanks for any info!

Which version of AMaViS do you use? AMaViS 0.2.1 or AMaViS-Perl-10? How
high is your server load?!
Btw, we do run mailing lists for AMaViS (see www.amavis.org). As our
time is limited, we do not read all the mailing lists/newsgroups for the
supported MTAs on a regular basis. But of course we read our own mailing
lists :-)

If you only have "real" users on your system, then it's rather easy:
# awk -F: '{print $1}' > ~alias/.qmail-allusers
# chmod 644 ~alias/.qmail-allusers
send mail to allusers@<your_local_hostname>
If you have virtualdomains and user/assign then it becomes more
complicated. That's why I asked where the information about "all"
is kept.
If you only mean POP users by "all" you may want to have a look at
<URL:http://www.qmail.org/>
and search for qmail-popbull in the [Yet More Qmail Addons] section.

Hi,
I don't still have the original post "Email all with Qmail" here, but methinks the
"qmail-popbull" might be a good alternative take on this issue (Advantages: Conserves
i-nodes, "Instant" delivery. Disadvantages: More work during POP3 session, tiny extra
amount of admin) - from www.qmail.org as usual...
cheers,
Andrew.

Do you see any deliveries in the logs for the program?
If they are there, does the program reject the eMails?
In that case - I don't know about the software, but - maybe a
"| preline <program>"
would help?

Hmmm ... never seen this.
If you try to do something like a "ls" in that directory, do you get
any errors? Timeout?

No, Maildirs are designed to work without locking.
See
$ man 5 maildir
and there the [RELIABILITY ISSUES] section:
[ ... ] In contrast, in maildir, no locks are ever necessary.
[ ... ] maildir works without trouble over NFS
qmail-pop3d doesn't use locking either and there is no prevention for
simultaneous access to the same Mailbox.
In FreeBSD a lot of NFS bugs have been fixed since the 3.2 Release and
- from my feeling, no facts ;-) - it has become more stable and reliable.

It locks up the session and requires me to kill that shell completely, leaving ls
still in memory hung. Likewise, qmail leaves multiple copies of vdelivermail (I'm
using vpopmail for virtual domains) stuck in memory unable to exit and I end up
having to reboot to clear them out. For busy customer accounts I've seen it tie up
400+ instances of it very quickly. This happens to any process that tries to
access the directory during that time.
I've since added soft mount and intr options to the nfs mounts which so far
appears to have fixed the processs from getting hung in memory. But that does not
explain to me how or why nor does it sound like the best solution, only a way to
avoid it which does not sit well with me.

Just use the qmail-ldap patch from www.nrg4u.com. It's great, has clustering
support (also working great at least on OpenBSD), has some other features
important for big servers - check it out.
Btw, running _really_ loaded server on linux is not such a good idea. You
might wan't to check *BSD.

put the domain in rcpthosts, but not locals. make sure it's also a
secondary mx for the domain. the server will accept the email but
continually try to send the email to the original server until it's back
up.

How do I completely open up my qmail smtp server to
be a smtp relay?
I've searched the archives is deleting the
/var/qmail/control/rcpthosts file all I need to do?
What are the symptoms of not compiling the DNS
patch, I don't remember if I patched it.

And make sure that you aren't passing tcpserver a -x argument (checks
to make sure the originating IP address is allowed to relay)

Unless you are running the server on an internal LAN, I *high*
discourage you from opening up a smtp relay.. Not only will you be
frowned upon by the internet community for being a spam-haven, but you
and your ISP could be put on the RBL (which is very bad).. But to
answer your question, deleting the rcpthosts should do the trick.

The reason I use localhost instead of the host name is that my host name
points to the ethernet interface and localhost points to the loopback
interface. Therefore if I use the host name backup packets to the local
host are going out on the ethernet, which is ineficient. But if I am
wrong about this let me know.
