You were fiddling around with a new mail server on your production
machine without testing it first? Furrfu. Consider using a spare desktop
machine to set up, configure, and learn about qmail before dropping it
into production in your office. You'll save everyone a lot of pain when
you deploy your shiny, new qmail installation AFTER you learn how to use
it.

50k emails per week is not an amount that should cause you any problems
whatsoever on the machine you describe, even if you are running MS
Exchange.

RE: Configuration problem or bug?

I've tried searching for the answer with Google and the search engine
located at:
http://www-archive.ornl.gov:8000/

Three threads related to this which I found there:
http://www.ornl.gov/lists/mailing-lists/qmail/1999/03/msg00844.html
http://www.ornl.gov/lists/mailing-lists/qmail/2001/01/msg00226.html
http://www.ornl.gov/lists/mailing-lists/qmail/1997/07/msg00957.html

These threads aren't any help to me. For example, I have no idea how to add
such a filter, if a filter could even be a solution the problem. I made sure
another time, emails look perfect with Telnet but only in these named MS
clients they show up with extra lines.

If anyone could tell me to try something specific, I'm all ear.

This is pure marketing speak put in for one reason.  Some dorky 
management types will ask if the software can do it.  The commercial 
options claim these things and those companies have convinced non-geek 
folks that they can do it.

I gave up fighting with ceo/sales/marketing about web logs.  I tried to 
explain to them that with all the caches in the world, people who 
refresh madly and people who connect at home and work, you can never get 
real numbers.  From what I can tell, these folks want to put their hands 
over their ears when you say that and scream LA-LA-LA and present those 
numbers to the world as if they were accurate.

However, FWIW, I use awstats and have been very happy with its best 
guess numbers.  I have not used it for qmail as I don't really have a 
need for that type of information about email.

Related to Qmail

Hello,
-

I am facing problem with SquirrelMail , although hosts can send email 
using a web form, but  when  I try to send email  using SquirrelMail, I 
am getting error of ¨The host is not in my  RCPTHOSTs list¨or alike.

I know very well about htis error, but this time I could not understand 
that why I am getting this errror using a webmail service, other webmail 
programmes work normally,

Or if someone has idea of any other webmail service which would work 
better .

What SMTP server are you using?
The IP of your webserver must be set to relay in the SMTP server you choose.
Did you set this in the  config script from the shell?

I prefer SquirrelMail, so no there isn't a better one IMHO.

If maphia.de is considered as local domain not virtual domain, then
remove ALL maphia.de entry in virtualdomains file. And also make sure
user patrick is exist.

unable to exec qq (#4.3.0)

Hello,

I tried to install qmail this weekend on my SuSE Linux Box, but when
try sending out (via kmail) emails, I am getting

451 unable to exec qq (#4.3.0)

I searched google up and down, but I do not have the partition mounted
with "nosuid". I posted some debug output (incl. a strace) here:
http://www.stonki.de/000/qmaillog.txt

When I am using locally "qmail-inject" am getting no error:
Dec  1 11:57:06 webserver qmail: 1070276226.337097 new msg 48943
Dec  1 11:57:06 webserver qmail: 1070276226.337185 info msg 48943: bytes 253 from
<root <at> webserver.stonki.net> qp 22031 uid 0
Dec  1 11:57:06 webserver qmail: 1070276226.364599 end msg 48943

Maybe someone can give me a helping hand. Thanks !

Stefan

vpopmail alias problem

Hello there!

I have multiple virtual domains using qm1.03, vpop 5.3.30 with mysql.

I have different users on domain  <at> virtual.de using

vuser1 <at> virtual.de
vuser2 <at> virtual.de
...
etcpp

now everyone wants to use his name as alias for those addresses using

1stname.name <at> virtual.de

so i did a

~vpopmail/bin/valias -i 1stname.name <at> virtual.de  vuser1 <at> virtual.de

i have created a 
# cat > .qmail-1stname:name
| /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' vuser1

when i send a mail to 1stname.name <at> virtual.de, i get an answer like:

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at box.virtualhost.de.
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.

<vuser1 <at> virtual.de-1stname.name <at> virtual.de>:

If you know the domain you want to use a single connection to you
can fake it with a virtualdomain delivering to a Maildir and a
cron job running serialmail connecting to the remote mail server.
