Greetings,
I've been working on getting my badmailfrom file setup and would like to
block a entire domain from connecting.
I've tried the following
@*.domain.net
But it can still send mail through using different domains. If I just add
@domain.net
then it just blocks the one address but they have vhosts that can send
mail through with no problem.
I would also like to add the entire RBL lists but can't seem to find a
file where I can download it. Is this possible without messing the my DNS
records?
Thanks

Are you sure you have a mail.local program in /usr/libexec? I'm running
Slack 7.1 same as you and the only one I see on my system is in
/opt/kde/bin. Do a `locate mail.local` and see what it turns up.

Hello All.
I am trying to install the qmail but unfortunately i dont know whether or
not is installed on my system or no.i read the Qmail-HOW-to at
http://www.flounder.net/qmail/qmail-howto.html and i followed every step.
I dont know as i said whether is installed or not.Can somebody tell me how
is start/stop the qmail?
Also is there a Gnome user interface to configure qmail?
Sincerely

Hi Constantine,
Qmail is not for the faint of heart! The help on the web is ... well ...
"scattered" is the most sympathetic way to put it.
I recommmend buying a book. The book I found is "Running qmail" by Richard
Blum.
See:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0672319454/qid%3D991020593/002-159088
7-7183201
As far as whether it is installed, you would need to see if you have
executables in /var/qmail/bin. But there is more to installation than that.
As far as a script to get it started, Mr. Blum recommends a script something
like the one below:
#!/bin/sh
#PATH=/var/qmail/bin
#export PATH
#Check that qmail is loaded.
[ -f /var/qmail/bin/qmail-start ] || exit 0
case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Starting qmail ..."
/bin/csh -cf "/var/qmail/rc &"
;;
stop)
echo -n "Stopping qmail ..."
/usr/bin/killall qmail-send
;;
restart)
$0 stop
$0 start
;;
*)
echo -n "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
exit 1
esac
exit 0
#End of script.
That script is traditionally placed in /etc/rc.d/init.d, and there are
symbolic links elsewhere that get hit on system startup and shutdown.]
Furthermore, I might add that the script above breaks the qmail
recommendations, as it is not recommended to start it from a shell like
that. However, for my pathetic little server which sits on a DSL line, the
computer is much faster than the DSL line. I seriously doubt that anybody
could attack the thing based on overwhelming xinetd or something like that.
You want a book. "qmail" assumes you know quite a bit about Unix.
Best regards, Dave.

Eleven characters should be fine. From the man page for qmail-getpw:
qmail-getpw considers an account in /etc/passwd to be a user if (1)
the account has a nonzero uid, (2) the account's home directory exists
(and is visible to qmail- getpw), and (3) the account owns its home
directory. qmail-getpw ignores account names containing uppercase
letters. qmail-getpw also assumes that all account names are shorter than
32 characters.

Hey, thanks for the info Charles... You just told me what my problem is... I
just realized that the account has an uppercase character, is there a way to
make the program recognize these or should i just change it to lowercase?
Thanks a million,
Kelly

Hi All
I am getting strange bounces. Qmail seems to append "" to the end of the
domain (see below)
Anyone know why?
Any help greatly appreciated
Jon
Hi. This is the qmail-send program at mail.lucidlogic.com.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following
addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]"">:
Sorry, I couldn't find any host named lucidlogic.com"". (#5.1.2)

You are using xinetd (?). This was discussed to death here - search the
archives for xinetd and RELAYCLIENT.

Hello all:
I want to replace qmail-local.c with a simple program. and use the simple program to
do local deliver.
But the progrm is named by qmail-local.c ,and It is work normal and appear "delivery
10: success:" in /var/log/syslog file when use gcc compile .but appear "delivery 7:
deferral: qmail-local_crashed/" message in /var/log/syslog file when use g++ compile.
It can'not get argv parameter when use g++ compile
what is this ? How to solve the problem ,if I want to use g++?
My opeeration is "SunOS www2 5.7 Generic_106541-08 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-2" .
Thank you!

Why do you want to use a C++ compiler to compile what is a
pure 'C' program (apart from one // comment)?

Hi there,
Has anyone got the radius-cistron-1.6.4-vpopmail patch working ok on
Linux ?
I've got some trouble compiling but before trying a lot of flags, i've
got these ones working:
# Makefile
CC = gcc
CFLAGS = -Wall -DNOSHADOW -g -I/var/vpopmail/include -DECA_MODS
LDFLAGS = -L/var/vpopmail/lib -L/usr/lib/mysql -L/usr/lib
LIBS = -lvpopmail -lmysqlclient -lcrypt
LCRYPT = -lcrypt
It compiles and installs ok, but when I try to make a radtest to my
local server, it returns me something like this:
# radtest [EMAIL PROTECTED] 123 localhost:1645 12 Testing123
Mon May 28 00:09:42 2001: Auth: Login incorrect:
[[EMAIL PROTECTED]/?{I�e���?����] (from nas 127.0.0.1/S142)
It seems that it is sending the crypted pass the the radius daemon. The
weird characters changes at each test,
even with the same password.
I'm running vpopmail-4.9.10 with mysql-3.22.32, large-site enabled under
Slackware Linux.
Any help will be very appreciated!
Best Regards,

How does everyone feel about the tone of the automatically-generated
messages?
Dan Bernstein is brilliant as a software author. qmail is great! This is
not a genuine complaint.
This is a very subjective matter, but the tone of the
automatically-generated messages seems too freindly. For example, there was
a bounce message today which ended with "Sorry it didn't work out!". It
seems too casual, too friendly, too personal. It also seems too wordy. One
ends a marriage or a business partnership with those words, but they don't
seem right for a bounced e-mail message.
Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed this, too? Am I too picky or too
sensitive or too ... whatever?
Dave.
Hello.
Maybe this is not the correct place for this question but.....
I am trying to install the qmail and with the courier imap server.I think
qmail is running and is set up corectly but about courier imap dont know

Would you prefer something a bit insulting?

You forgot the IMVHO. And IMVHO, one doesn't end a marriage like
that; most often it gets a helluva lot more acrimonious.

Yes.
