<0> I am getting "stat=I/O error" in my logs for some remote smtp servers
<0> what does that really mean? broken servers?
<1> Im recieving Relay denied on my sendmail server, how without adding an entry into the sendmail.cf for every sender can I resolve this issue?
<1> sorry access file
<2> use access and/or smtp auth
<3> or TLS, if you have roaming remote systems you control
<1> cool, what about for fetching mail
<4> avoid using sendmail.
<4> (since it doesn't really fetch mail, esmtp turn aside)
<1> is sendmail only really for smtp stuff?
<1> What would you recommend for retreiving emails from the net
<1> ok
<1> i'll give fetch mail a go, thanks for the ***istance
<5> hehelol: If you want to download email then use qpopper.
<5> ;]
<1> From what I understand please correct me if im wrong
<1> you need a sendmail service to allow people to send mail using your server to the internet
<1> you need something like fetchmail to retrieve emails from the internet
<1> to the server
<3> what are you trying to do?
<1> and you need a pop3 service on the server to send to be retrieved to client machines
<1> send and recieve emails..
<1> Am I correct in that
<3> you'll need a Mail Transport Agent (MTA) such as Sendmail to handle SMTP, and then a POP/IMAP server to host e-mail for download by clients, such as Thunderbird
<1> yea
<1> and I need another app for receiving emails to the server to stored for clients
<6> booyah
<6> Using sendmail, how can I block sending to an external address
<7> Where can I find a doc to help me config sendmail to allow certain users to send external and the other users to only send to intranet?
<7> Anyone?
<8> http://www.sendmail.org/~ca/email/restrict.html
<7> Zerberus: Thanks.
<6> Zerberus, what about mine? :P
<8> the same
<6> Different isn't it? I only want to block outgoing mail to one address
<6> I don't have a list of internal mail address (because they are coming from exchange)
<8> read about the access_db
<6> actually, i could probably put in an alias
<6> to null or something
<6> access_db only talks about incoming mail :(
<8> it is about relaying mail too
<6> Yes. Relaying and incoming.
<9> how can i have sendmail try and send my mail only once?
<9> i don't want it to queue the mail and keep trying to send it
<8> play with the timeout settings
<3> mmm, RFC violations
<9> which timeout settings come to mind?
<3> Timeout.queuereturn and cohorts
<10> ok here is an interesting problem when i connect to ssmtp by hand using openssl i have no problem but when i connect with a mail client it hangs. This is over a vpn connection, when the vpn is off things work fine any ideas?
<10> in fact no packets even get there with mail client (tcpdump ...)
<11> hi, how do i have a sendmail mx server, deliver mails to domains it handles(say x.com,y.com) to an internal server for spooling, but rejects mails to unknown domains like z.com?
<11> anybody home?
<12> hello
<12> id like to authenticate to my sendmail via account@domain.tld is that possible with sendmail?
<13> im having a problem where my emails are getting stuck in the queue with status "Deferred: Invalid argument". i think it's related to using Modifiers=bh in my DaemonPortOptions. the message is stuck in queue, but i can manually send it with sendmail -v -qI
<13> the emails only seem to get stuck if the first send errors for whatever reason... like connection reset, etc
<13> if i edit the /var/spool/mqueue/qf<id> file and remove the bh modifiers, the email will clear the queue normally.
<3> remove the bh modifier?
<13> i need the bh modifier.
<3> for?
<13> to segregate outbound emails
<3> a queue group wouldn't work?
<12> anyone got some documenation on sendmail authentication?
<13> so that all my ips dont get blocked by aol just because someone decided to send a few thousand emails or something, for example
<13> so nope, a queue group wouldn't work
<3> why not? drop e-mail to aol into a reeaaly slow queue
<13> that may work in some environments, but it's not the best solution when you are doing virtual hosting where customers get their own ip
<13> i'd rather them block their own ip and screw up their email than screw up everyone's email at once
<13> it might help to know what causes the "Invalid argument" error...
<12> none?
<4> lakai_: topic
<13> could someone tell me generally how sendmail processes a queue? when i run sendmail -q -v, it processes one message at a time. how do i make it do more than one at a time?
<4> run multiple sendmail's like that.
<13> okay, sounds good.
<13> thanks
<1> I have two domains one 1 server, when i send an email to hehelol@domaina.com the reciepient gets hehelol@main.domainb.com
<1> The mx is mail.domaina.com, yet resolves to the other one
<1> and how come mail is still there :o
<1> ah sorted
<14> hello
<14> how do i divert all mails to mail1.server.com which is destined to xyz.com for actual mail delivery
<8> mailertable
<14> hi Zerberus
<14> how are you?
<14> ok mailertable
<8> i am fine, just busy
<14> oh ok..
<14> oh i found mailertable file
<14> i am so dumb completely forgot what i did long back ;)
<14> so only creating mailertable and putting domains inside will be sufficient right?
<14> or do i have add something to .mc file and rebuild?
<8> and be sure the target domain is not in cl*** {w}
<14> secrets.com smtp:mail1.secrets.com
<14> above format in mailertable right?
<8> depending on what you do you may need to put it in relay-domains too
<8> depends on the target server
<8> if it has an MX pointing to a different server, then [mail1.secrets.com]
<14> there are 10 mail servers on same network
<14> now server A gets mail sent from all users
<14> and that server A has to sort out if the mail is destined for internal domains ( their own domains i.e. secrets.com ) or outside domains ( i.e. yahoo.com )
<14> if mail is destined for secrets.com should be routed to server B
<14> which will actually do the final delivery for secrets.com in its own server
<14> if mail detined for yahoo.com should be diverted through internet meaing to some other server which will throw that mail on internet for final delivery
<14> server A and server B is on same network, may be physically on different location
<14> i dont want mail sent to secrets.com delivers to user inbox through internet i.e. through normal method, needs to route that mail to internal server ( i.e. to intranet ) which will do the final delivery
<14> Zerberus, how do i?
<8> sorry, no time for cheap answers
<14> :)
<14> i think the current setup i used is ok
<14> put the domains in mailertable and you are on your way
<15> hehe I don't think anyone is ever alive at qmail channel
<14> :)
<14> Zerberus, thanks
<16> "aut" at 209.187.154.158 pasted "invalid argument errors" (122 lines, 4.9K) at http://sial.org/pbot/15808
<13> could someone take a look at that and tell me if it seems strange to you?
<13> my guess is that sendmail is trying to send queued emails over a closed smtp connection after 4 failed attempts
<8> Deferred: 421-: (RLY:NW) http://postmaster.info.aol.com/errors/421rlynw.html
<13> yes, but why does the queue stop processing
<13> after 4 errors on the same message?
<8> hoststatus stored?
<8> aol.com has exactly 4 MX records
<13> ah, so it *is* a "feature"? :)
<8> so it stops when all 4 were tried and delivery failed
<13> that's great, except that i have multiple interfaces. just because all four mx failed on the first interface, it doesnt mean the other interfaces will fail.
<13> :/
<8> 29:define(`confHOST_STATUS_DIRECTORY', `/etc/mail/host_status')dnl
<8> 87:define(`confTO_HOSTSTATUS', `10m')dnl
<13> im using Modifers=b on DaemonPortOptions
<13> sendmail should be smart enough to maintain hoststatus by interface if using modifiers=b
<13> shouldn't it?
<8> post a patch
<8> Claus ***mann will be the person to send that
<13> im not qualified to write a patch, but if i have someone do it, i will certainly p*** it on. thank you
<8> i do not see much sense in what you request
<13> well if you ***ign ip addresses for mail transport to each of your virtual hosting customers
<13> you dont want everyone's mail getting deferred just becuase one ip got blocked on aol's mx servers
<13> how difficult is running multiple daemons? do i need separate queue dirs or just separate config only?
