All UNIXes and UNIXlikes will work pretty well with qmail, but there are advantages to using one of the various BSD's. DJB, the author of qmail, has a Berkeley background and runs OpenBSD, and there are places in the code where he assumes BSD semantics for safe and reliable operation. There are workarounds and patches for non-BSD systems, but it's easier to use a BSD variant than to wonder if you've caught them all. -Dave
Hi! I have made a patch to rblsmtpd that allows to call an arbitrary program whenever a connecting mailserver is in one of the lists. I use it to send the postmasters of this host and the respective domains a short mail saying that they have an open relay and they should fix it. This is maybe not what everybody wants, because it generates traffic. But I have my users in the back complaining about not getting mails from the outside. So I started to send out mails manually to the respective postmasters to close their open relays. This was getting too much work, therefore this patch: ftp://epigenomics.org/pub/oss/ucspi-tcp/rblsmtpd.patch When rblsmtpd is called with the new option "-x /path/to/program", it calls the program every time a connecting mailserver is blocked and quits. It calls the given program, which gets all the environment variables from tcpserver and a new one set by rblsmtpd: $RBLMESSAGE, which is the message the connecting mailserver was rejected with. The program now can make decisions based on $TCPREMOTEHOST et. al. to do anything like sending mail to postmaster@$TCPREMOTEHOST. I do know that the error should show up in the logs of the remote host, but when they are misconfigured, it is likely the postmaster does not look into the logs. I do hope she/he is looking into the mailbox... In the ftp-directory is a sample bash script called rblscript that sends a short mail to the postmaster of the remote host. Please feel free to send any additions/corrections to me.

Bare linefeeds are indicative of possible data mutilation. 8-bit charactiers in headers are not. I don't know what their definition of 'improperly configured MX records' is. Greetz, Peter.

> I don't know what their definition of 'improperly configured MX > records' is. I was also curious, so I took a quick scan through the sources. It appears that this means MX records pointing to recursive CNAME records. This is not apparently configurable. Courier also apparently allows you to block mail with bad return addresses, presumably meaning no A or MX. This is configurable via config file. -- gowen -- Greg Owen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] SoftLock.com is now DigitalGoods!

This is a doubt about the best way to compile again qmail: I have my system running qmail perfectly, but some days ago i discovered that qmail has not the patch that "Scott Moorhouse" re-wrote to solve the problem with the "Netscape's download indicator doesn't progress". The file involved is "qmail-pop3d.c". I have tried to compile the file (alone) with the patch apliayed, but may be the file has some dependencies with another files ( I cannot run "cc or gcc" over the file) and so, we have to re-compile all the qmail distribution. Can I compile "qmail" in another machine and later move and/or copy only /var/qmail/bin/*? That's my best option cause only stop the server a minute at the time of day i wish, but i would like to know others opinions about this. Thanks.
Is qmail-pop3d.c the only file affected by the patch? If so why don't you cd the qmail source tree, apply the patch and then: make and copy the qmail-pop3d to /var/qmail/bin ? Best regards.

from my experience, the easiest way to effectively kill you server (for some time, until you solve it) is to do just what is proposed by Jose below, and to forget to set the right permissions and ownership for the copied file.-------Original Message-------From: Jose AP Celestino <japc@gandalf>Date: Monday, January 29, 2001 06:45:34 PMTo: J.J.Gallardo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: Re: doubts about re-compileIs qmail-pop3d.c the only file affected by the patch?

You can just - apply the patch - 'make' - copy qmail-pop3d to /var/qmail/bin (you might need to shutdown pop3 for a second to do so) qmail-pop3d is the only program affected by this patch.

Hi, i would like to use maildir instead of mailbox, but now theres a problem, does imap support maildir? what is the best imap daemon which works with maildir? best regards Gonçalo Gomes
> Hi, i would like to use maildir instead of mailbox, but now theres a > problem, does imap support maildir? what is the best imap > daemon which works with maildir? Courier supports Maildir (and maildir only). http://www.courier-mta.org and look for the "standalone IMAP package." There are patches to make UW-Imap use Maildir (at www.qmail.org?) but UW-Imap expressly does not support Maildir themselves. -- gowen -- Greg Owen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] SoftLock.com is now DigitalGoods!

Thankss for your input, Greg. You're a really good person. Some would say "treehugger". Next time, don't forget the pointer to http://qmail.org/top.html where all the relevant information can be found. Ah, yes... UW-IMAP sucks big time. Courier IMAP r00l3z supreme. Sam and hist list are excellent sources of information. Just for the record.

I haven't slept in three days, working on a huge project, and I didn't think before I hit the send button. I only know that I set up an IMAP server without having to think twice about it, and I guess I took the situation to heart.

An IP address a.b.c.d is listed by that source if d.c.b.a. base has a TXT record. rblsmtpd uses the contents of the TXT record as an error message for the client. -a base: Use base as an anti-RBL source. An IP address a.b.c.d is anti-listed by that source if d.c .b.a.base has an A record. In this case rblsmtpd does not block mail. This is the reference to :- "The only thing about this is why it says "anti-listed" instead of listed." That I made. I am not sure why it says "anti-listed". As in not in the rbl. It seems to be saying that if the IP matches then it's allowed. I'd have thought that if they had changed their rbl listing from txt to A-record, then doing a A-record against it and getting a result would be "listed" and then qmail would deny the connection. Obviously, I'm missing something here, but that section of the ucspi-tcp/rblmstpd is just not clear.

Hi all,
I'm looking for a way to implement something like 'Delivery Notification'. I want to let my users know that his/her e-mail was delivered successfully to the other side ( or at least have an affirmative return from the other SMTP server... ).
Does anybody know a solution for this problem ?

I know I can read it in the logfiles, but I was thinking of something that do that in an automated way, like generating a new confirmation message in the inbox.

I recently tried (unsuccessfully) to replace one of my qmail servers (Red Hat Linux 6.2) by: 1) creating new qmail server (lets call it mail2) 2) tar'ing up the following dirs: /var/qmail/control /var/qmail/queue /var/qmail/users /home/vpopmail/domains (cause I use vpopmail) /home/vpopmail/users (cause I use vpopmail) 3) stopping the qmail processes on mail1 (the qmail server to be replaced) and mail2 4) un-tar'ing the files on the mail2 5) shutdown server mail1 6) rename and re-IP mail2 to mail1 by editting the following: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 /etc/hosts /etc/sysconfig/network /etc/HOSTNAME 7) bring up new qmail server (now known as mail1) The hopes were by following this pattern I would: * experience very little down time * if a problem occured, all I had to do was simply shutdown new qmail server and bring up old one * no DNS changes to make The only problem was it didn't work. Everything seemed to come up OK. Email could be queued up but would not get delivered UNTIL I bounced the box. In this case all the mail that was queued up got sent but any new mail still experienced the problem (it would queue up but would not be delivered until I rebooted the box).

The problem is probably with you moving the queue directory (which is a definite no-no, because the filenames in there must correspond to their inode numbers). Check out queue-fix on qmail-org, it should help at least one of your problems.-------Original Message-------From: Steve Woolley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>Date: Monday, January 29, 2001 08:50:16 PMTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: Moving qmail serversI recently tried (unsuccessfully) to replace one of my qmail servers (Red

Just let the old system run for a week, draining it's queue. The full sequence is: 1a. Compile and install qmail on your new system 1b. Install all control and user files as needed 1c. Start qmail on the new system (but not popd or smtpd) 1d. Test thoroughly 2a. Stop smtp and pop on the old system 2b. Wait for local deliveries on the old system to complete (Normally a matter of seconds) 3a. Stop qmail on old system 3b. Remove control/virtualdomains 3c. Change control/locals (or me) to something different (oldserver.yourdomain?) 3d. Start qmail on old system (but not popd or smtpd) 4. Move user mailboxes to new system 5. Start smtpd and popd on the new system 6. Wait for mailq on old system to empty (could take days). 7. newfs old system If you're using Maildirs and don't mind users seeing empty mailboxes for a while, you can do step 5 before step 4 and your users will see much less down-time. Note that step 3 is necessary to forward all bounces to the new system. If you don't care about bounces, ignore step 3. There are variations on this theme. For example, you can set smtproutes on the old machine to forward all mail to the new machine. That way you don't have to wait very long for the queue to drain on the old system. Regards.
Maybe a maximum-mail size has to be set on the box running this list, to prevent such errors from happening again. a simpleecho 2000 >/var/qmail/control/databyteswould suffice ...

I use an MUA that helps me construct a more personal e-mail by adding backgrounds and other multimedia elements. If you want to check that out, there is a link to it's site on the bottom of my e-mail. Noone I have sent a customised e-mail have ever complained, except (understandably) people on this list, and only because it was sent in error. I think, that in the future of e-mail is to become more customisable through html presentation, thus bigger size. CNET counts 122000 downloads of this MUA and it's growing by thousands a day, and it's website is in the top 5000 rated by ALEXA and i think that with time I will not be the only one posting to this list using this MUA. Please don't think I am trying to advertize it to you, I am just presenting the situation as I see it. About my ability to configure it correctly, I am able to do so, but it's human nature to sometimes make mistakes, this is why I proposed to help correct these mistakes before they multiply by 1500 times (I think that the number of subscribers on this list)
Thank you for you time, and accept my deepest apologies. I will personally setup a filter on my mail server (since I rewrote qmail-scanner to do just this kind of things with smtp-incoming e-mail, like I posted before) to limit the size of outgoing messages to the list if the list desides that it's not appropriate to limit the size of the messages.

Yes, you do. It doesn't even wrap your blasted lines properly; your entire email was on two lines, one for each paragraph. What, you think that when your GUI moves the cursor down a line it's actually putting a carriage return in there? Think again. Broken. It doesn't add a References header to your replies. That messes up web archives. Broken. Your mailer seems to insist on putting a "Re:" in the Subject even when it is already there. Broken. In short, your MUA is broken. Am I starting to sound like a broken record? I think so. You're using a broken mailer and sending html in your email to a mailing list for a UNIX MTA, populated by BOFHs. I can't imagine what on Earth you're thinking... Aaron

Hello! I'm a new user of qmail. I need filter a direction [EMAIL PROTECTED], how can I do it? Thanks Pablo
> Hello! I'm a new user of qmail. I need filter a direction [EMAIL PROTECTED], > how can I do it? I am not sure what you are asking, but I assume that you need to filter mail sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The method of doing this depends on whether yyy.zzz is a virtualdomain, or is the name of the mail server in question. For simplicity's sake, I will assume the latter. Assuming that xxx is a user on the machine yyy.zzz, make a file in xxx's home directory called .qmail. Put in that file: |/path/to/filter/program If this does not meet your needs, I assume that you speak Spanish far better than I do. In that case, the Spanish Qmail docs are here: http://www.es.qmail.org/ The English docs are at: http://www.qmail.org/ - Sam

Your not multiple subscribed ? Anyone can post to this list whether they are subscribed or not. (the bogus mail was just verifying it). So just because you can post doesn't mean anything. Look at your headers. Look for the X-Return-Path This is mine. X-Return-Path [EMAIL PROTECTED] The username in my case is marrandy the domain chaossolutions.org What you see in your headers is the name AND domain you are subscribed to the list under. You need to unsubscribe from that account. If your MTA is changing the domain from, for example I'll use mine, chaossolutions.org to mail.chaossolutions.org that may be enough to prevent your unsubscription...something else to check. Remember...it's what it says in that X-Return-Path header that is critical. Hope this helps. Regards...Martin -- A fool and his money are soon parted.

Hi, I'm wondering what the consequences of breaking QSBMF are. My desire is to change the bounce messages to something more professional (we've had some complaints) and the req'd "Hi. This is the" would probably be the first thing to go. So, if I change it to something else, what will I break?

Every site that I've set up loves it. I've reworded it in some cases to be more informative than it is by default (yes, more), and use similar wording in my version of qmail-notify (to notify users of delayed delivery -- the right way to handle delivery notification). Anyone who doesn't like the qmail wording surely can't be asking for the old sendmail system back ... I've had _hundreds_ (if not thousands) of users beg me to tell them what "this stupid message from MAILER-DAEMON is." I've had nobody ask me what the "I'm sorry it didn't work out" message was. -- Michael T. Babcock (PGP: 0xBE6C1895) http://www.fibrespeed.net/~mbabcock/

For those who don't know, if you send a message using Outlook via an Exchange server and the message fails, the Exchange server sends back a message to Outlook which is displayed in your Inbox as would be expected. The message is also automatically parsed and the message it relates to in your "Sent" folder is tagged with whatever failure occured so that if you go through your messages in your sent folder you can see an additional "header" added at the top of the window of "Delivered on xxxxxxx" or "Read at xxxxxx on the xxxx of xxx ..." or "Failed because ...

I don't think will happen any time soon. Microsoft knows that there is a lot of money in the server business. They know that many technically minded people do not like Microsoft. So, they go to some effort to make their client software make their own proprietary, expensive, low-performance servers look more attractive to the end user using Microsoft software than any non-Microsoft product that performs the same functions. They figure, if enough end-users demand Microsoft servers so "They can get more helpful bounce messages in Exchange" or what-not, that some shops will make the migration. Look at Front Page extensions. Not that this is any threat to Qmail. As long as end-users subscribe to mailing lists on Egroups [1], people can and will complain if a Microsoft client can't handle a Qmail server correctly. - Sam [1] I believe Egroups is one of the most visible Qmail installations out there.

I got a question off-list about how to make this change, from a person whose email is at usa.net. Since usa.net has, from all accounts, a completely insane policy of blocking mail servers, I cannot respond directly, so I'll send the response here. It might be of general interest anyways. Pretty much the whole trick is to go into qmail-send.c, around line 708 (search for "Hi"), and just change the message that is output. As with any source change, you'll want to test it first, and make sure the message is reasonably formatted, has all important information, and the proper headers and envelope. -----ScottG.

I believe that the Scott's point is best illustrated this way (and forgive me if I'm wrong here, Scott): A user on a dialup sending 10 messages per second can start a DoS attack normally only possible for a user with a T1, consisting of 600 messages per second. Thus, a lowly dialup user can now mount a much nastier DoS attack than he could against MTAs which do not exhibit this problem. -- Greg White Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable. -- John F.

Right. It doesn't actually consume any Internet bandwidth, just mail server resources. ------ScottG.

how do I unsubscribe? there is no info on qmail.org?? Kevin
Read the first message you got when you subscribed to the list, it tells you how. Since the list is run by ezmlm, maybe you should look at the documentation for it. I also offer a service where I can get you unsubscribed for $59.95. I accept payment by paypal or cash, but you must be willing to type an email message exactly as I instruct from the proper address. If you are unable to do so, I can subcontract with Kelly Temporary services to send a computer-literate secretary to your site to do the typing for you. Additional fees equalling their charges will apply. If none of these options are acceptable, I can fly to your site, and for $50 an hour plus actual expenses, perform the unsubscribe at your location. If this fails, we can hire a negotiation/moderation consulting firm to contact DJB personally to arrainge an unsubscribe. If he is unwilling to negotiate, I can hire team of lawyers in his jurisdiction to take the matter before the courts. If this proves fruitless, and you are determined, a team of mercenaries equipped with white phosphorus grenades may be able to take out the server hosting this list. (this offer may not be available at all locations). But if the sever is housed in a hardened bunker, repeated strikes with thermonuclear devices may be necessary to get you unsubscibed. I can contact former USSR personnel for current rates. Unfortunately, since the internet was designed to deal with catastrophic faults of this exact nature, you still may not be removed from the mailing list. If repeated strikes with multi-megaton devies are needed, my fees will includes the cost of constructing a personal sustainable biosphere. Local taxes will apply. If you are still reading this and think I am serious, please be advised that this is satyrical. RTFFMYG!

Kevin asked: > how do I unsubscribe? > there is no info on qmail.org?? Normally, we charge a one-time fee of $59.95 for this service, as Peter has explained. However, I am offering a special contest, since it is the year 2001 (a Qmail odyssey). The winner of this contest will get a message from the Qmail list server asking for their subscription to be confirmed. In order to enter this contest, simply reply to this message or send an entry form to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I wish you the best of luck! And, oh, Peter, you know that Dan's server runs Open-BSD, so those Russian thermonuclear devices will not harm the server. He just has to enter (and hopefully win) the contest, just like everyone else has to. - Sam
Hi, How do I do this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -> [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -> [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -> [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -> XXX@finaldomaincom That is to say mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] is sent/forwarded/redirected to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (the To: etc should not be rewritten, just the RCPT TO: ). Right now I'm doing this with sendmail. But I would like to switch to qmail. I've taken a look at qmail's virtualdomains but it seems like that's for entire domains going to a SINGLE user. Similarly for users/assign. I tried defining domain1.com and domain2.com as local, and putting | forward $[EMAIL PROTECTED] in .alias-default This seemed to work but it's rather ugly/kludgy and I'm hoping there's a better way to do it. Cheerio, Link.

Is finaldomain.com hosted on the same box as domain1.com? If so, and finaldomain.com is local, make domain1.com local too. If finaldomain.com is virtual, create another entry in virtualdomains identical to the entry for finaldomain.com, but change the domain name to domain1.com. If finaldomain.com is hosted elsewhere and you just want to forward everything, you can do this: echo 'domain1.com:alias-domain1' > /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains echo '|forward "$DEFAULT"@finaldomain.com' > /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-domain1-default Why don't you just change domain1.com's MX record so that the mail just goes directly to whatever host handles finaldomain.com?

Thanks, but will the RCPT TO: be changed accordingly? e.g. External client to Server A Mail from:<> rcpt to:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> data blahblahblah crlfdotcrlf Then: Server A to Server B Mail from:<> rcpt to:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> data blahblahblah crlfdotcrlf Because Server B will only accept mails in the form of <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.

In that case, since you have to readdress the e-mail, the best way I can think of doing is using .qmail files for each user. I've never done this, but try having just one .qmail file (say /etc/qmail), and symbolically linking the files from each user, so if you have to change servers you just change the one file. I might be wrong though. Its been awhile since I've had to configure qmail (it works by itself now), so if I am wrong then someone will let us know ;) -- B r e t t R a n d a l l http://xbox.ipsware.com/ brett _ @ _ ipsware.com

This looks like it might work. Previously I saw | forward "$LOCAL"@domain.com somewhere in the FAQ and tried that. But that didn't work as the RCPT TO: ended up being something like [EMAIL PROTECTED] Will there be any security issues passing $DEFAULT in that way? > Why don't you just change domain1.com's MX record so that the mail just goes > directly to whatever host handles finaldomain.com?

Hello, I am looking into hosting a high volume discussion list (~3000 users, 20 MB of messages per month). The available hardware will probably be a RaQ3 server with 32 MB of RAM (should I pay for more RAM? if so, how much?), so I wouldn't have much system resources to spare. My preferred MLM is Listar. I'm looking into MTAs; from the various mailing list archives I've read on the web, it seems that qmail and postfix are the top MTAs. I could not find information to tell me which one would work better for my situation, however. Can someone tell me: Should I use qmail or postfix to run this discussion list? I am not very concerned about configuration difficulties since I only have to set it up one time, but performance will be important. -Philip Mak ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
Oh boy, since this is cross-posted to both the qmail and to the Postfix list, this could become a holy war. I myself have never used Postfix, but have used Qmail. My general sense: * Postfix and Qmail both are very hi-performance MTAs * Qmail apprently has slightly better performance for mailing list stuff, Postfix has slightly more performance for indivudal mailboxes. * Postfix is more open-source than Qmail * Postfix is easier to configure than Qmail * Qmail is more flexible than Postfix You will be happy with whatever choice you make. And oh, I would up your RAM to 128 megs. - Sam > Can someone tell me: Should I use qmail or postfix to run this discussion > list?
Hi,I have a unix user iad001 on my linux box. All mail for iad001 is sent to /var/spool/mail/iad001. I also have an /etc/aliases.db file in which my email address raymondo@mydomain is aliased to iad001.How do I set a max message size on a per alias basis? I tried using the mailquota.sh script from qmail.org but that never worked, I assume aliases don't use the home directory.ThanksRaymond
i am using fetchmail to get all my pop mail and it directs it all to my user name and i use my .qmail to redirect it to a mail filter (a perl script using Mail::Procmail). that script detects messages to my lists and resends them back to qmail which should forward them to the ezmlm code. it seems to work when i subscribe from this box as me. but from an outside account, the ezmlm confirm reply gets sent to me and not to the address that requested the subscribe. here is the message that ezmlm generated was sent to me and not to the other guy Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Received: (qmail 1654 invoked from network); 30 Jan 2001 01:07:03 -0000 Received: from localhost (HELO mail) ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) by localhost with SMTP; 30 Jan 2001 01:07:03 -0000 Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> X-Authentication-Warning: syslang.localhost.localdomain: steveo owned process doing -bs Date: Mon, 29 Jan 2001 19:45:52 -0500 (EST) From: "Steven W.

i'm wondering if exists some binaries or scripts to cleanup/fix
the qmail queue
( /opt/qmail/queue/mess
/remote
/info
/bounce)
because i got error messages in logs like :
"cannot stat mess/[message N�]"
"cannot open message" .... will try again later"
when i run /opt/qmail/bin/qmail-qstat, i always have about 1000
messages in queue ....
i'm also receiving messages from foreign hosts about outgoing messages

Hi, I am running qmailadmin-0.38 on qmail-1.03 and vpopmail. My customers are dialup customers whose dialup details like password (for dialup)I maintain in an Oracle DataBase while for their mailbox qmail/vpopmail does the job for me. I would like to link the two databases together with a common front page - wherein the customer when he changes his password it updates my Oracle database as also his mailbox's on qmail. Hence I need to provide my enduser with a page where he can change both his mailbox password and dialup password (on a different db.)- is it possible to provide another front end other than the qmailadmin home page but should also execute the same functions. My current page runs on NT-IIS while my mailserver runs Qmail-1.03 on Linux 6.2. This is a little urgent.
