<0> look at /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts or /etc/tcp.smtp(if your using tcpserver)
<1> Is there anyone here?
<1> Have a question about qmail's abilities...
<1> Anyone?
<2> alguien por ahi?
<2> hola a tod@s
<3> !es
<3> damn it
<2> alguien por ahi?
<2> are you there?
<4> hello
<4> any one know of issues with qmail-ldap and gentoo ?
<5> Not many
<5> ezmlm-idx has a bug where the ebuild won't work with it (It's a mistake in the ebuild)
<5> The only thing I can think of
<4> or does anyone know why the new qmail-1.0.3-r16 would not put the svscan into the init.d dir ?
<5> Unless the maintainer is here, probably not.
<5> That's gentoo specific
<4> well i had it there before and now i tryed to redo it and now its gone and wont show up there
<4> i am like 2 secs from droping gentoo and installing winblows and using there crap
<6> hi, can i get help with qmailmrtg here?
<6> "/usr/sbin/qmailmrtg7 C /var/log/clamav/" always returns 0, when it shouldn't be zero
<7> hi
<7> how do i add a folder by default to the mailboxes?
<8> ramezhanna: usually it is postmaster@domain.com unless you have aliase for it
<7> UQlev: what i meant was that i wanted every new user created to have a "junk" folder in their mailbnox by default
<9> ramezhanna, i use /etc/skel for that
<7> High_Priest: but i'm not using /etc/p***wd as auth backend
<7> i'm using vpopmail
<9> ramezhanna, maybe you should refer to vpopmail documentation or mailing list
<7> High_Priest: it seems like the onchange patch by jms could fix this for me
<7> thanks
<9> np
<10> is there a away to store emails in mysql database ?
<10> hello?
<11> speedy_, don't know googling might help
<11> here is no stock answer for this
<11> some one might have done it and provided docs regarding there at wild wide web
<7> is there a way to add folders to my maildir folder from a terminal
<12> man maildirmake
<7> greycat: well that works but i don't see it in my sqwebmail
<12> create one using the webmail system. FIND IT. Then make another that looks just like it.
<7> greycat: tried that and it seems that i have to use the folders menu in sqwebamil to subscribe to it first
<7> greycat: is there a way that i can have all newly created maildirs have a "temp" folder?
<12> mkdir
<7> greycat: mkdir what? mailmakedir creates maildirs i want the newly created maildirs to have a temp folder in it
<12> then change the program.
<13> how would i go about stopping spam mail bouncing back at me?
<13> i have installed blacklist checkers, denied relaying, but still my users are getting hundreds of spam on a dialy basis
<8> nevillea: recent spammers very often use new relays for m*** bulk mailing only once
<8> nevillea: that is why blocking particular IP doesn't help
<13> yeah
<13> UQlev: but at this stage, its gone beyond a joke
<8> thatnk to viruses and troyans they get hundreds of new relays daily
<8> nevillea: you should consider other measures to prevent spam
<13> such as?
<13> i need suggestions..
<8> local black listing (by whole subnets)
<8> tmda.net
<8> nevillea: how many mail-aacounts do you handle?
<13> UQlev: its not many, its only small network.. perhaps 10max
<14> I just did a new install of qmail rocks last week and I am seeing a lot of external spam being sent via me. I have been listed on blacklists. I have never had this happen before with qmail. Is there a problem or an issue that can allow spammers to send e-mail via qmail?
<12> make sure you have a control/rcpthosts file
<12> if you applied SMTP AUTH patches, make sure you use the PROPER syntax in your tcpserver ... qmail-smtpd command.
<12> (the syntax will differ depending on which SMTP AUTH patch you used. they aren't compatible with each other.)
<14> yes I do
<14> I can do smtp auth it seems to work I can send mail from extenal if I use it. maybe they are using localhost from the rcpthosts file
<8> IOscanner: may be they use bounce method to relay
<14> I think so
<14> I that is what I am seeing in the log
<14> how can I stop the bounce method
<12> if you're not really sending spam, but only spam *bounces*, the only real solution is to reject mail to invalid local users during SMTP. See the last 2 URLs in the /topic.
<8> IOscanner: prevent bounce of messages to nonexisting accounts
<15> hello everybody! im setting up a qmail server for the first time for a university. they are already using qmail+squiremail+bincimap and im basically duplicating the settings on a new box with an updated distro and updated from source packages. ive read life from qmail a couple times and have the box set up, and i have copied over much of the data and configuration files. my question though is, on the current (old) setup mail server's squirremail w/ vi
<15> rtual domains, i can log in just fine - on the new squirremail, my crudentials give me the bad username/bad p***word. is there any way to ask a qmail installation if a certain email address is valid and handled by it?
<14> thanks
<12> I don't see what your squirrelmail login has to do with qmail's notion of valid mailboxes
<12> most likely, squirrelmail just hands your auth credentials over to the IMAP server
<15> greycat, it doesnt, but its my only way of checking email addresses, hence my question, what's the qmail way to check to see if a user is handled by it?
<12> there isn't.
<15> greycat, it does, and i have bincimap set up
<15> greycat, well how do i test this? i cant just switch the dns over to this box and lose a crapload of email
<12> then you need to figure out why bincimap is rejecting these users
<15> there's no way to make sure it's not qmail rejecting those users?
<12> I know nothing at all about bincimap
<15> my problem is i cannot send mail to those users b/c the dns is pointing to the old box so even on the new box, if i send mail, smtp will resolve the old box and deliver it to the old qmail installation, so that's not a real test
<12> sure you can. telnet newserver 25
<8> topher: you may use smtproutes to forward to certain domain
<15> yea, that's essentially what mutt's doing. look, i am using the qmail-smtpd on the new box, but when it sees user@qmail-handled-virtualdomain, is qmail going to resolve that virtualdomain and send it off or will qmail realize that's in its handled v-domains and just place it in the right maildir?
<12> qmail-smtpd will look in rcpthosts to see whether the domain is acceptable
<12> if it is, then the message gets queued. qmail-send will look first in locals, and then in virtualdomains, to see whether the message is local or remote.
<15> ok
<15> so if it's configured correctly and i use smtp on the new box, it should just drop it in the right local maildir without going to the network at all
<12> right
<15> cool. and do you guys recommend qmailadmin?
<12> no
<15> is it insecure?
<8> topher: it is useless for those who can use ssh
<15> UQlev, haha, yea i know. my boss uses qmailadmin on the old box and he's not a unix guy at all, so sshing and editing qmail config files is out of the question
<16> topher: If you are using qmailadmin then you must also be using vpopmail.
<16> Which means he wouldn't be editing files anyway.
<16> vpopmail manages everything with commands.
<15> Bradipo, yea, what's vpopmail anyway? from what i read it "handles virtual domains in qmail", but doesnt qmail have virtual domain support built in already?
<16> It isn't exactly difficult to train someone to type: vadduser user@domain.dom
<16> Yes.
<15> Bradipo, yea i agree. im going to approach him by giving him a mini-manual b/c from what ive seen of qmailadmin and vpopmail, there's plain text p***words sent over unencrypted web, etc.
<12> qmail's virtual domain support is what vpopmail relies on
<15> oh i see, so vpopmail just wraps qmail?
<12> vpopmail is just a layer on top, which provides authentication mechanisms that let you use "foo@bar.com" as usernames
<8> topher: if you want web-interface better use https
<12> otherwise, you'll be using whatever unix account you told virtualdomains to deliver to
<15> oh, so i do need that then b/c this mail server is handling 5-6 different domains each w/ a lot of users already set up in an old vpopmail installation
<15> thanks guys, i appreciate this, ive never set up qmail before
<8> topher: so have fun
<15> UQlev, can you tell by my irc tone that i already am :)
<8> topher: yes. Your boss as most clueless wants to invade everywhere he has no idea about ;)
<15> UQlev, i completely agree with that, ha
<15> im supposed to be a web programmer. im apparently the only guy w/ linux/bsd knowledge so here am i setting up servers
<15> :(
<8> well, it is like my neigbour asked me, you know computers can you se what's wrong with my watering timer for the garden
<15> lol
