Hi all,
Trying to install Q-mail
please name the script file, where I should place the following directives:
/usr/local/ucspi-tcp-0.88/tcpserver -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -v -u 3002 -g 2501 0 smtp
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd \
2>&1 | /var/qmail/bin/splogger smtpd 3 &
/usr/local/ucspi-tcp-0.88/tcpserver 0 110 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup YOURHOST \
/bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir &
csh -cf '/var/qmail/rc &'
Thank you in advance,

I was thinking , why do alot of people here mention running tcpserver
with multilog and storing it's logs apart from qmail logs :
This is what I use for the startup string for tcpserver
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -R -H -x/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -v -u 7770 -g 2108
0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env /usr/sbin/relaylock
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd >> /var/log/qmail/current 2>&1
&
This works fine, And I can see in the qmail log all mail action along
with the ip information (where the mail came from).
Is there a problem with that i didn't stumble upon (yet) ?
Also, I would really apriciate if some answered my prevous question,
repeated below :
I know that this question is being asked from time to time here,
but I have never seen a descriptive answer to it.
I have to rewrite the FROM field from messages I recieve through
smtp. The only rewriting I have to do is if FROM = alex@a.b then i
rewrite to FROM = [EMAIL PROTECTED]. The username
stays the same, only rewrite the domail name.
I have tried to use the Fixup part from qmail faq, created virtual
domain, got Mess822, starting to use new-inject in
/alias/.qmail-catchall-default, but I am unable to reach a satisfiing set
of parameters for it.
Somehow I get the feeling that the virtdomail idea is not designed
for tis situation, or am I wrong ???
Help will be apriciated.
Alex.

This makes tcpserver always log to the same file. After it has run
for a while, multilog will have renamed that file from "current" to
"@4000..." and created a new "current" file, but tcpserver won't use
the new current file unless you kill it and restart it. Eventually,
if tcpserver runs long enough, multilog will rotate the original
"current" out of existence, and you won't be able to see new tcpserver
log entries.

The header field, or the envelope sender?

Thanks for the multilog tip - when the log rotates the logging really
stops.
I was using 10 MB files, so didn't pick it up fast.

I believe it's the header field - the recipient has to recieve the mail
with a rewritten header.

This patch very much fixes it for my patch, too. Thanks a bunch, Ian!
This leads me to the next thing (concerning my patch):
If someone specifies QMTP to a certain port in control/mailroutes, and
that fails - what'd I do? Try SMTP to port 25, give up temporarily (which
would happen if it were an SMTP route) of give up permanently (don't think
so...)
At the moment, SMTP to port 25 will be attempted. If that fails, there'll
be a tempoary error.

Thanks for catching and fixing this bug. I'm glad *you* knew that you
can't call connect twice on the same socket.

Actually you can, but only under specific circumstances, being: the
first connect being done nonblocked and not having reached a final
state (either connected or failed), and the second connect being to
the exact same host and port.
So much for educational value. Glad it got fixed.

Hi!
I've just put out a new version of my patch to qmail-remote.
It now includes Ian's patch that allows qmail-remote to try SMTP if the
QMTP connection fails. There's nothing left that I'm really unhappy about
right now.
http://www.almqvist.net/johan/qmail/qmail-qmtpc.html
I'd like to thank Russell, Peter and Ian for their "kicking me in gear"
and help, respectively.

Does anyone else use the linavx scanning software from AVP? I did find a
way to update the definitions with it and It don't pick
up the snow white, kak vB or navidad. It did catch a pretty park but that
was it. Are there any other scanners that will scan mail already
on the system for these? Or which one seems to work the best in
conjunction with Qmail?

Yep: me. Which is worse, 20 messages sent to a list with the same
virus, or 20 messages sent to a list with the same virus followed by
20*N warning messages from N friendly virus scanners around the world?

DJB has already decided which he considers useful enough to warrant a
new release: none of them.

yes.
Don't bloat qmail. One of the greatest things about qmail is its size.
You may want to discuss the uselessness of virii scanners with Felix ;-))

I see exactly two patches which could be part of stock qmail: the AOL dns
patch and Russels qmtp/mxps-patch for qmail-remote.

Forget about the DNS mods, DJB has very clearly expressed disdain for
them. I'd vote for the MXPS and bigconcurrency mods.

I'd just like to point out that you can't blame Qmail-Scanner for that.
Qmail-Scanner *NEVER* sends "your message was infected" messages to
mailing-lists. It explicitly looks for signs that the message is from a list
(-owner|-return|Precedence: junk, etc) and if found only Email's the
Qmail-Scanner administrator.
Others (esp. commercial) bore us silly with their alerts...

Hi,
I installed qmail as described in LWQ. As I try to evaluate the logs
with qmail analog I run into trouble because multilog does not have the
timestamps needed by qmailanalog. Can I just replace any multilog entry
with splogger or is this no good idea? Can I create the timestamps in
multilog in any way? Is there any information available about the log tools
used with qmail and qmailanalog?
Comaprison multilog/splogger etc.
The docu provided with the package is not that much ;-)
Thanks

Splogger is no longer maintained or distributed. LWQ contains a
pointer to a utility to convert multilog's timestamps to the format
qmailanalog expects. See:
http://www.lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html#qmailanalog
>Can I create the timestamps in multilog in any way?
Not that I know of.

The online documentation for daemontools is pretty complete, including
specification of the time stamp format. I haven't documented
qmailanalog in LWQ because I keep hoping that DJB will update it for
the new timestamp format or release a new qmail that will make
qmailanalog completely obsolete.

Right. But they are mostly responses to HELO. I'm looking for the
response to a successfully accepted message. Ie, what qmail-remote
sends back to the logs.

Those are patterns that describe the greeting that a server sends to
the client when it connects. What is wanted here are patterns that
describe what the server sends to the client after it has received
a message. The client puts this text in its log, which makes it
possible to generate statistics by reading the logs rather than
connecting to a lot of servers.

One sample point. I just analyzes the last day of a large list (a
junky one):
47.8% of the target domains are running sendmail, but only 15.8% of
the messages were sent there. This is consistent with the suggestion
that sendmail may be installed on a lot of systems, but that it's not
necessarily installed on systems that handle a lot of mail.
What does it show? That making measurements to determine which MTA
"handles" how much email is hard. But we knew that already, right :>

Hi,
I came across a strange problem with qmail-inject. If I have a message
with headers with CRLF's for line feeds, and try and send it through
qmail-inject, when it rewrites the headers qmail-inject uses LF's only.
So what you end up with is a message with some CRLF's, and some LF's in
the headers, and some mail clients can't parse that properly (noteably
Outlook). =)
Shouldn't qmail-inject use the same headers found in the message? Since
CRLF's are required when sending via SMTP, it makes sense that
qmail-inject should support that.
Or am I missing something?
Cheers,
Alex

There's a huge amount of mail that doesn't cross any backbones.
There's also a huge amount of mail that isn't sent by ISP mail servers:
for example, deliveries from dedicated ezmlm machines.
Furthermore, every ISP is different. An ISP with more experienced users
will have more communications with UNIX machines.

Hi ya'll.
Glad I found somewhere for help for qmail =)
I just got my first computer and got freebsd 4.4 setup on it. When trying
to recieve messages through 110 I get:
-ERR unable to scan $HOME/Maildir
I have checked the archives for this error, and all I could find was the
procedure
maildirmake $HOME/Maildir
echo ./Maildir/ > /usr/home/chandler/.qmail
which I have done, but I still see the error. I'm not entirely sure what
additional information you need, but please let me know. I'm pretty
pleased with myself that I've gotten this far, but I'm not sure what could
be the problem. I can send mail with no errors.
I'm using inetd instead of tcpwrapper, because I don't understand what tcp
wrapper does. I hope that doesn't make too much of a difference.

Thank you for your help,

pleased with myself that I've gotten this far, but I'm not sure what could

I'm using inetd instead of tcpwrapper, because I don't understand what tcp
wrapper does. I hope that doesn't make too much of a difference.

As is so commonly said on this list: Maybe you could show us some configuration
file. If we're really lucky, you'll show us the pop3 line of /etc/inetd.conf,
an ls -l of your $HOME and maybe even the results of `cat $HOME/.qmail`

HUH? You a time traveler or something?
FreeBSD-stable is currently 4.2. I wouldn't run a development or beta OS
on a production server. I'm going to assume this is a typo.

It could also mean that the qpop3d is not running as the user in question.

ah, ok. Mah bad for not supplying enough information. And it was my
typo.. freebsd 4.2 is what I installed, although the time machine is in
the works.
This is what I have in inetd.conf:

I also just noticed that I failed to set up an mx record for mail... I'm
sure that causes some issue.. but it wouldn't be the reason for the error
would it?

Looks OK to me, although we use tcpserver here and I've never tried to use
qpop3d from inetd.

What are the perms on the homedir itself, and what about the
subdirectories of Maildir?

Why have a .qmail file? Or do you not have Maildir as your default
delivery mechanism?

Doubtful.

Hrmm... ok, does anyone use inetd for it? I use inetd for a lot of other
stuff, so I chose to stick with it.

Eh, my install and config of qmail went somehting like this... I
downloaded all the binaries I found that I neededuntarred them, and
started with INSTALL from the qmail docs. I don't recall wether or not I
set Maildir to be default or not. Mostly, I assumed that as long as I
changed as little as I could, I'd be ok... That doesn't appear to be the
case anymore.

I don't think inetd is your problem, after all, the connetion is being

Hmmm, you do realize that qpop3d runs as the user, not root? Look at the
ownership of the new, cur and tmp directories. Change them to chandler,
not root. This should fix the problem.
Also, what's the chandler dir for?

Wow. It never occuered to me. It's working now, sorta. I need to sort
out host information. Like, I can send to hades.solidst8.org, but not
just 'solidst8.org' I get to learn more about bind now I suppose.
Thank you trmendously for the help. I'll try to be more prepared next
time there's a problem. Thanks again.

I doubt I'll have a correctly setup computer for a while now. But I'm
glad I know it's kinda redundant, I should fix that too.

This has to do with both MX records (getting the mail to the server) and
the Qmail configuration (letting the mail server know what to do with mail
for that domain). The Qmail part is sovered in the docs.

I have created a small script to print the qmail queue contents - it
runs on all messages and displayes the from:, to: and date: headers; can
also dump the full header of the message if ran with "-h" switch (if
mess822 is properly installed). It seems kind of useful in conjunction
with monitoring tools like qmail-mrtg and others, considering that i
didn't find such script in other places.
Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Howdy,
I am having the same trouble and working with the folks at Excite on
this. They have some anti-spam software which appears to have been
triggered and so it is blocking connectivity to all their MX hosts
from the "offending" IP address. Other IP addresses on the network
are fine.
I am guessing that qmail's habit of opening multiple SMTP sessions is
triggering their anti-spam software but I have not received confirmation
of this as of yet.
The problem started either Jan 10th or 11th for me.
I'll let you know what I find out.

Please do keep us informed! The mail we send out is legit and they certainly have the
option to opt out.

Hello,
lately, outside (non-local) SMTP servers have begun to go crazy. For
example, I have a standard entry in my qmail virtualdomains file for all
mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - it goes to the user scode.
But if I attempt to send an E-Mail from an outside source (a few have been
tried) to, say, [EMAIL PROTECTED], the SMTP server making the final
delivery suddently goes mad and does an RCTP [EMAIL PROTECTED]!
What might cause this? I even changed "scode" back from being a CNAME to
being an A record in the DNS configuration, in case that was the cause.
Note, my main address "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" works fine.
mail.infidyne.com is the MX for the domain.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. The strange part is that we didn't have
this problem earlier.
Thank you,

CNAMEs are a bad thing for email. Check the discussion in THOUGHTS.
Change your DNS so that scode is an A rather than a CNAME and the
remote MTAs won't bother doing the re-writing.

...and don't test it again until the CNAME is gone (it's time to live
expired) as tests from remote machines will find the CNAMES for another
while after you update your DNS.

Did you actually change anything between compiles, or do you believe

I'd say your mlist alias is pointing to a non-existant dir, or a dir with
wrong perms. Check ~alias/.qmail-mlist, or users/assign (depending on how
you configured things) to check out which dir it's trying to use, and then
make sure the dir exists and has the right perms.
I'm no ezmlm wizard by any means, but another option is ezmlm's own dir,
which may have wrong perms or ownership.

An entry into 'smtproutes' will take care of that (or at least it
did for me)
home.com:[24.2.2.194]
That's it...

Unless that's an @home machine that differs from the others, then it's
only going to make matters worse as the connections are going to be
concentrated on that single server rather than spread acros the MX
list.

I tried that one yesterday and it was blocking but today it is.
Wonder how long this will work?
Since this is one of the listed MX records why isn't qmail trying it?
Thanks,
Bill

Thanks, that worked.. ;)
Earthlink.net is another one doing the same thing. I also added them to
smtproutes which resolved the problem..

Hi.
I've written some scripts to start apache, proftpd, qmail and vpopmail under
supervise using tcpserver for SUSE 7.0.
I'm sending them if its interest for some of you.

Hey there guys;
I have posed to this list before, and I think it got lost amidst much
more interesting problems. Below is the problem I am facing:
Using:
qmail-1.03+patches-18
ucspi-tcp-0.88-1
ucspi-unix-0.34-1
daemontools-0.70-2
autorespond-1.0.0
vmailmgr-0.96.9-1
supervise-scripts-3.3-1
omail-admin-0.96pre10
Here is my problem,
I have one existing /etc/passwd (local) user that can check mail via
POP3.
I have 3 virtual users created from vmailmgr that can receive mail from
external sources, but can not check and receive that mail via POP3.
My thoughts are that pop-3 - qmail-popup is simply not looking in the
correct directory and finding the appropriate passwd.cdb file and users
folder. However, SMTP is getting those messages into the correct area, as
when I look in the respective virtual accounts 'new' and 'cur' folders, mail
is there.
Below is what the qmail-lint grabs, I don't care about those users, as they
are not to receive mail anyway:
Warning: cannot receive mail (does not own home directory): brandon
Warning: cannot receive mail (does not own home directory): phorum
Warning: cannot receive mail (does not own home directory): wedding
Warning: cannot receive mail (does not own home directory): dtlog
Warning: cannot receive mail (does not own home directory): qmaillog
Attached is the output from /usr/bin/qmail-showctl, maillog, and the
vmailmgr current log.
If anyone has any ideas, I would be very grateful to hear them!
Cheers,
Sean

remember, whichever password checker you use has to be passed the folder for
qmail-pop3d to look in. so, if you are using djb's checkpassword program, it
will not be able to auth the virtual users. I have very little experience with
vmailmgr, but if there is a pop password checker in that package, make sure
that you use that. otherwise, code one out similar to vpopmail that will pass
the correct directory and uid/gid numbers. qmail-pop3d will try to look in
whatever folder it is told as the user it is told by the password checker, so
you may want to verify your permissions.

Matthew and anyone else reading;
Below are the processes currently running on my box right now that are
directly related to qmail, another thing I am trying to figure out, is if
'qread' and 'qstat' are actually necessary. Also below, you will see the
line stating "tcpserver -dHRvX -c 20 -x /etc/tcpcontrol/pop-3.cdb 0 pop-3
qmail-popup www.worldvibe.org checkvpw qmail" this points to checkvpw and
is using that for qmail-pop authentication.
Also the checkpassword file in /var/qmail/control/checkpassword
contatins the line "checkvpw"
And the file enclosed is 'run' from /service/pop3d/run this file is used
to start up the pop-3 service.

I could have sworn that's what he said, in essence, especially as he
qualified his statement with "might." Why quibble over semantics?
There's high-enough SNR as it is, and you relatively recent
subscribers need to stop arguing all the damn time, please.

Hi,
I need to allow open relay on my mail server for a certain domain eg:
*.somedomain.com. tcpserver does not seem to support domain names is there
some other way that I can do this?

You should be able to use
=.somedomain.com:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
with the latest version of tcpserver. Earlier versions didn't support
this without a patch.

Is there something wrong with the step-by-step instructions in the
"INSTALL" file which is included with the Qmail source? I've found
them to be quite useful.

Hi guys,
I have released a new version of vmailadmin.
Vmailadmin is a qmailadmin like application, but is more "usable" by now.
It's getting quite stable and might be worth a look. Now there also german
templates.
Future improvements will be done.
You can check it at http://vmailadmin.sourceforge.net
Thanks,

I've got a DOS command-line mailer in use
throughout my network. I set up qmail to run as an smtp relay for the
email being produced from this mailer, qmail-smtpd was barfing with status 256
whenever it received an email. After a
little research/help from the list I included fixcrio in my qmail-smtpd command
line, and that partly fixed the problem.
This mailer can either parse header information
from a text file, using a command line option, or you can use command line
options to set all of the header information. Here's the rub: when I parse
the information from a text file, all is well; when I use the command line
options, all the recipient gets is a completely empty email, no From:, no
Subject:, etc.
Can anyone help me with a little direction on
diagnosing exactly what's going on here, and how to resolve it? I
appreciate any help you can provide.

The ucspi-tcp package contains a program "recordio".
You may want to plug it in before the invocation of qmail-smtpd (just
like fixcrio).
recordio will write everything that passes through it to the logfile,
so you can see whats beeing received and sent.

mailbox? because I have a email with about 12M of attachement in the
mailbox.

My instructions were to delete the 12 MB email, not every file in the
Mailrdir/new
Just edit Maildir/new/file with a text editor and remove the attachment.

the problem is, what is the better text editor I can use rather than vi,
since the attachement has thousands of lines.....

1) use an editor to see how many of the lines at the top of the file you
want to keep, say for example 30
2) # head -n 30 mail_file_name > foo
3) # mv -f foo mail_file_name

That's good. Or keep the lines at the top and type 99999 dd
Deletes 99999 lines in vi

Are you using Maildir format mailboxes? Or /var/spool/mail? I think the
assumption has been made that you are using Maildir. It sounds to me like
you have just the one mbox format file that contains somewhere within it the
offending email.
The "best" solution I can think of, that doesn't require a text editor that
needs lot of RAM or temporary disk space, is to actually load the file your
mail program. For example, run "mail" or "mailx" and use the option to
specify a mail file to open. eg, "mail -f /var/spool/mail/<username>" Best
done as root or the actual owner of the mailbox. Any other user will not
have the required permissions for saving the file.
The next step is to sit back and wait while your chosen program loads the
12Mb+ mbox file....
Next, identify the problem message and delete it, then exit the mail program.
Finally, convert all of your mail users to Maildir format, as this is much
more robust and would have made this while process as simple as this:
cd ~username/Maildir/new
ls -l
<identify big mail message>
rm <big mail message>
Hope this helps.

Is it the pop3 will remove all the emails from the
mailbox after all emails were downloaded to the local mailbox or pop3 daemon
will delete email by email after each email was downloaded?
thanks
|
The POP daemon will only remove messages when told to do so by the user's
email client software. Eudora, for example, tells the server to delete
each message after it has been downloaded. The client software can opt to
not delete the messages at all.

Can anybody explain to me what these warnings mean and why do the

Those aren't messages generated by qmail.
So I guess the question is why is qmail depositing e-mails without the
groupid???

The logs indicate no such thing is occuring. Find out which program is
generating those entries and work from there.
How can one determine and specify the IP address used by qmail-remote for
remote mail delivery? It used the default IP for the host instead of the
address for its FQDN.

Hi
I have quite a few of these in my mail.log file. Did anybody see this
before????
Jan 14 06:55:33 ebox qmail: 979473333.338776 info msg 8037: bytes 5264 from
<#@[]> qp 15913 uid 508
Tx Peter
I get them, I think it's user: anonymous when crontab emails the output
from a cronjob... I think, something close to that maybe.

How do I convert from someother mail format to
maildir format used by qmail. Basically I am currently having mails being
delivered as files with each mail being a single unix file. I currently am
looking at migrating from a proprietory mail platform to qmail and have figured
out all the other tasks (moving the userid, passwd, etc).
If someone could tell me the logic on how to
convert (say from a unix mail) to maildir, it would be helpful

Hi,
I have two mail servers, the one is located in the same office as my isp
data line and is my main mail server, the other is a remote mail server in
another part of the country.
The remote server needs to be a pop server, all mail arriving at the main
mail server gets forwarded to the remote mail server and the clients read
their mail off the remote server. The remote server also needs to be an smtp
server so that the remote users can connect to that server and send their
mail. How do I set the remote server up to forward all smtp traffic to the
main mail server?
Thank you
Raymond

On the remote server, create an smtproutes file:
echo ":main.mail.server.fqdn" > /var/qmail/control/smtproutes
This will cause the remote mail server to forward all SMTP mail the the main
mail server.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
who rotates the logs when using multilog? I did not find a manpage for
multilog. I want to avoid the automatic rotation and rotate the logs my
own. qmail is installed as described in LWQ.
thanks
/ch
not much reason to use multilog if you're not going to use its rotation
features, unless you're using other features it possesses, like pattern
matching or something. i can't think of what self-rotation would be wiser
than multilog, however.
anyway, check out:
http://cr.yp.to/daemontools/multilog.html
for a man page substitution of sorts.
