All the users on this host, +zippy.af.mil, are users on af.mil. When joe sends a message to fred, the +message should say ``From: joe@af.mil'' and ``To: fred@af.mil'', without +``zippy'' anywhere. + +Answer: echo af.mil > /var/qmail/control/defaulthost; chmod 644 +/var/qmail/control/defaulthost. + + +1.2. How do I set up user masquerading? I'd like my own From lines to +show boss@af.mil rather than god@heaven.af.mil. + +Answer: Add MAILHOST=af.mil and MAILUSER=boss to your environment. To +override From lines supplied by your MUA, add QMAILINJECT=f to your +environment. + + +1.3. How do I set up Mail-Followup-To automatically? When I send a +message to the sos@heaven.af.mil mailing list, I'd like to include +``Mail-Followup-To: sos@heaven.af.mil''. + +Answer: Add QMAILMFTFILE=$HOME/.lists to your environment, and put +sos@heaven.af.mil into ~/.lists. + + + +2. Routing outgoing messages + + +2.1. How do I send local messages to another host? All the mail for +af.mil should be delivered to our disk server, pokey.af.mil. I've set up +an MX from af.mil to pokey.af.mil, but when a user on the af.mil host +sends a message to boss@af.mil, af.mil tries to deliver it locally. How +do I stop that? + +Answer: Remove af.mil from /var/qmail/control/locals. If qmail-send is +running, give it a HUP. Make sure the MX is set up properly before you +do this. Also make sure that pokey can receive mail for af.mil---see +question 3.1. + + +2.2. How do I set up a null client? I'd like zippy.af.mil to +send all mail to bigbang.af.mil. + +Answer: echo :bigbang.af.mil > /var/qmail/control/smtproutes; +chmod 644 /var/qmail/control/smtproutes. Disable local delivery as in +question 2.1. Turn off qmail-smtpd in /etc/inetd.conf. + + +2.3. How do I send outgoing mail through UUCP? I need qmail to send all +outgoing mail via UUCP to my upstream UUCP site, gonzo. + +Answer: Put + + :alias-uucp + +into control/virtualdomains and + + |preline -df /usr/bin/uux - -r -gC + -a"${SENDER:-MAILER-DAEMON}" gonzo!rmail "($DEFAULT@$HOST)" + +(all on one line) into ~alias/.qmail-uucp-default. (For some UUCP +software you will need to use -d instead of -df.) If qmail-send is +running, give it a HUP. + + +2.4. How do I set up a separate queue for a SLIP/PPP link? + +Answer: Use serialmail (http://pobox.com/~djb/serialmail.html). + + +2.5. How do I deal with ``CNAME lookup failed temporarily''? The log +showed that a message was deferred for this reason. Why is qmail doing +CNAME lookups, anyway? + +Answer: The SMTP standard does not permit aliased hostnames, so qmail +has to do a CNAME lookup in DNS for every recipient host. If the +relevant DNS server is down, qmail defers the message. It will try again +soon. + + + +3. Routing incoming messages by host + + +3.1. How do I receive mail for another host name? I'd like our disk +server, pokey.af.mil, to receive mail addressed to af.mil. I've set up +an MX from af.mil to pokey.af.mil, but how do I get pokey to treat +af.mil as a name for the local host? + +Answer: Add af.mil to /var/qmail/control/locals and to +/var/qmail/control/rcpthosts. If qmail-send is running, give it a HUP +(or do svc -h /var/run/qmail if qmail is supervised). + + +3.2. How do I set up a virtual domain? I'd like any mail for +nowhere.mil, including root@nowhere.mil and postmaster@nowhere.mil and +so on, to be delivered to Bob. I've set up the MX already. + +Answer: Put + + nowhere.mil:bob + +into control/virtualdomains. Add nowhere.mil to control/rcpthosts. If +qmail-send is running, give it a HUP (or do svc -h /var/run/qmail if +qmail is supervised). + +Now mail for whatever@nowhere.mil will be delivered locally to +bob-whatever. Bob can set up ~bob/.qmail-default to catch all the +possible addresses, ~bob/.qmail-info to catch info@nowhere.mil, etc. + + +3.3. How do I set up several virtual domains for one user? Bob wants +another virtual domain, everywhere.org, but he wants to handle +nowhere.mil users and everywhere.org users differently. How can we do +that without setting up a second account? + +Answer: Put two lines into control/virtualdomains: + + nowhere.mil:bob-nowhere + everywhere.org:bob-everywhere + +Add nowhere.mil and everywhere.org to control/rcpthosts. If qmail-send +is running, give it a HUP (or do svc -h /var/run/qmail if qmail is +supervised). + +Now Bob can set up separate .qmail-nowhere-* and everywhere-* files. He +can even set up .qmail-nowhere-default and .qmail-everywhere-default. + + + +4. Routing incoming messages by user + + +4.1. How do I forward unrecognized usernames to another host? I'd like +to set up a LUSER_RELAY pointing at bigbang.af.mil. + +Answer: Put + + | forward "$LOCAL"@bigbang.af.mil + +into ~alias/.qmail-default. + + +4.2. How do I set up a mailing list? I'd like me-sos@my.host.name to be +forwarded to a bunch of people. + +Answer: Put a list of addresses into ~me/.qmail-sos, one per line. Then +incoming mail for me-sos will be forwarded to each of those addresses. +You should also touch ~me/.qmail-sos-owner so that bounces come back to +you rather than the original sender. + +Alternative: ezmlm (http://pobox.com/~djb/ezmlm.html) is a modern +mailing list manager, supporting automatic subscriptions, confirmations, +archives, fully automatic bounce handling (including warnings to +subscribers saying which messages they've missed), and more. + + +4.3. How do I use majordomo with qmail? + +Answer: See ftp://ftp.eyrie.org/pub/software/majordomo/mjqmail and +http://www.qmail.org for various methods. majordomo 2.0 is expected to +support qmail directly. + +Beware that majordomo's lists are not crashproof. + + + +4.4. How do I use procmail with qmail? + +Answer: Put + + | preline procmail + +into ~/.qmail. You'll have to use a full path for procmail unless +procmail is in the system's startup PATH. Note that procmail will try to +deliver to /var/spool/mail/$USER by default; to change this, see +INSTALL.mbox. + + +4.5. How do I use elm's filter with qmail? + +Answer: Put + + | preline filter + +into ~/.qmail. You'll have to use a full path for filter unless filter +is in the system's startup PATH. + + +4.6. How do I create aliases with dots? I tried setting up +~alias/.qmail-P.D.Q.Bach, but it doesn't do anything. + +Answer: Use .qmail-p:d:q:bach. Dots are converted to colons, and +uppercase is converted to lowercase. + + +4.7. How do I use sendmail's .forward files with qmail? + +Answer: Install the dot-forward package +(http://pobox.com/~djb/dot-forward.html). + + +4.8. How do I use sendmail's /etc/aliases with qmail? + +Answer: Install the fastforward package +(http://pobox.com/~djb/fastforward.html). + + +4.9. How do I make qmail defer messages during NFS or NIS outages? If +~joe suddenly disappears, I'd like mail for joe to be deferred. + +Answer: Build a qmail-users database, so that qmail no longer checks +home directories and the password database. This takes three steps. +First, put your complete user list (including local and NIS passwords) +into /var/qmail/users/passwd. Second, run + + # qmail-pw2u -h < /var/qmail/users/passwd > /var/qmail/users/assign + +Here -h means that every user must have a home directory; if you happen +to run qmail-pw2u during an NFS outage, it will print an error message +and stop. Third, run + + # qmail-newu + +Make sure to rebuild the database whenever you change your user list. + + +4.10. How do I change which account controls an address? I set up +~alias/.qmail-www, but qmail is looking at ~www/.qmail instead. + +Answer: If you do + + # chown root ~www + +then qmail will no longer consider www to be a user; see qmail-getpw.0. +For more precise control over address assignments, see qmail-users.0. + + + +5. Setting up servers + + +5.1. How do I run qmail-smtpd under tcpserver? inetd is barfing at high +loads, cutting off service for ten-minute stretches. I'd also like +better connection logging. + +Answer: First, install the tcpserver program, part of the ucspi-tcp +package (http://pobox.com/~djb/ucspi-tcp.html). Second, remove the smtp +line from /etc/inetd.conf, and put the line + + tcpserver -u 7770 -g 2108 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd & + +into your system startup files. Replace 7770 with your qmaild uid, and +replace 2108 with your nofiles gid. Don't forget the &. The change will +take effect at your next reboot. + +By default, tcpserver allows at most 40 simultaneous qmail-smtpd +processes. To raise this limit to 400, use tcpserver -c 400. To keep +track of who's connecting and for how long, run (on two lines) + + tcpserver -v -u 7770 -g 2108 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd \ + 2>&1 | /var/qmail/bin/splogger smtpd 3 & + + +5.2. How do I set up qmail-qmtpd? + +Answer: Two steps. First, put a + + qmtp 209/tcp + +line into /etc/services. Second, put (all on one line) + + qmtp stream tcp nowait qmaild + /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env tcp-env /var/qmail/bin/qmail-qmtpd + +into /etc/inetd.conf, and give inetd a HUP. + +If you have tcpserver installed, skip the inetd step, and set up + + tcpserver -u 7770 -g 2108 0 qmtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-qmtpd & + +replacing 7770 and 2108 with the qmaild uid and nofiles gid. See +question 5.1 for more details on tcpserver. + + +5.3. How do I set up qmail-pop3d? My old POP server works with mbox +delivery; I'd like to switch to maildir delivery. + +Answer: Four steps. First, install the checkpassword program +(http://pobox.com/~djb/checkpwd.html). Second, make sure you have a + + pop3 110/tcp + +line in /etc/services. Third, put (all on one line, including +qmail-popup twice) + + pop3 stream tcp nowait root + /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup qmail-popup + YOURHOST /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir + +into /etc/inetd.conf, and give inetd a HUP; replace YOURHOST with your +host's fully qualified domain name. Fourth, set up Maildir delivery for +any user who wants to read mail via POP. + +If you have tcpserver installed, skip the inetd step, and set up (on two +lines) + + tcpserver 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup YOURHOST \ + /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir & + +replacing YOURHOST with your host's fully qualified domain name. See +question 5.1 for more details on tcpserver. + +Security note: pop3d should be used only within a secure network; +otherwise an eavesdropper can steal passwords. + + +5.4. How do I allow selected clients to use this host as a relay? I see +that qmail-smtpd rejects messages to any host not listed in +control/rcpthosts. + +Answer: Three steps. First, install tcp-wrappers, available separately, +including hosts_options. Second, change your qmail-smtpd line in +inetd.conf to + + smtp stream tcp nowait qmaild /usr/local/bin/tcpd + /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd + +(all on one line) and give inetd a HUP. Third, in tcpd's hosts.allow, +make a line setting the environment variable RELAYCLIENT to the empty +string for the selected clients: + + tcp-env: 1.2.3.4, 1.2.3.5: setenv = RELAYCLIENT + +Here 1.2.3.4 and 1.2.3.5 are the clients' IP addresses. qmail-smtpd +ignores control/rcpthosts when RELAYCLIENT is set. (It also appends +RELAYCLIENT to each envelope recipient address. See question 5.5 for an +application.) + +Alternative procedure, if you are using tcpserver 0.80 or above: Create +/etc/tcp.smtp containing + + 1.2.3.6:allow,RELAYCLIENT="" + 127.:allow,RELAYCLIENT="" + +to allow clients with IP addresses 1.2.3.6 and 127.*. Run + + tcprules /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb /etc/tcp.smtp.tmp < /etc/tcp.smtp + +Finally, insert + + -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb + +after tcpserver in your qmail-smtpd invocation. + + +5.5. How do I fix up messages from broken SMTP clients? + +Answer: Three steps. First, put + + | bouncesaying 'Permission denied' [ "@$HOST" != "@fixme" ] + | qmail-inject -f "$SENDER" -- "$DEFAULT" + +into ~alias/.qmail-fixup-default. Second, put + + fixme:fixup + +into /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains, and give qmail-send a HUP. +Third, follow the procedure in question 5.4, but set RELAYCLIENT to the +string ``@fixme'': + + tcp-env: 1.2.3.6, 1.2.3.7: setenv = RELAYCLIENT @fixme + +Here 1.2.3.6 and 1.2.3.7 are the clients' IP addresses. If you are using +tcpserver instead of inetd and tcpd, put + + 1.2.3.6:allow,RELAYCLIENT="@fixme" + 1.2.3.7:allow,RELAYCLIENT="@fixme" + +into /etc/tcp.smtp, and run tcprules as in question 5.4. + + +5.6. How do I set up qmail-qmqpd? I'd like to allow fast queueing of +outgoing mail from authorized clients. + +Answer: Make sure you have installed tcpserver 0.80 or above. Create +/etc/qmqp.tcp in tcprules format to allow connections from authorized +hosts. For example, if queueing is allowed from 1.2.3.*: + + 1.2.3.:allow + :deny + +Convert /etc/qmqp.tcp to /etc/qmqp.cdb: + + tcprules /etc/qmqp.cdb /etc/qmqp.tmp < /etc/qmqp.tcp + +Finally, set up + + tcpserver -x /etc/qmqp.cdb -u 7770 -g 2108 0 628 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-qmqpd & + +replacing 7770 and 2108 with the qmaild uid and nofiles gid. See +question 5.1 for more details on tcpserver. + + + +6. Configuring MUAs to work with qmail + + +6.1. How do I make BSD mail generate a Date with the local time zone? +When I send mail, I'd rather use the local time zone than GMT, since +some MUAs don't know how to display Date in the receiver's time zone. + +Answer: Put + + set sendmail=/var/qmail/bin/datemail + +into your .mailrc or your system-wide Mail.rc. Beware that BSD mail is +neither secure nor reliable. + + +6.2. How do I make pine work with qmail? + +Answer: Put + + sendmail-path=/usr/lib/sendmail -oem -oi -t + +into /usr/local/lib/pine.conf. (This will work with sendmail too.) +Beware that pine is neither secure nor reliable. + + +6.3. How do I make MH work with qmail? + +Answer: Put + + postproc: /usr/mh/lib/spost + +into each user's .mh_profile. (This will work with sendmail too.) Beware +that MH is neither secure nor reliable. + + +6.4. How do I stop Sun's dtcm from hanging? + +Answer: There is a novice programming error in dtcm, known as ``failure +to close the output side of the pipe in the child.'' Sun has, at the +time of this writing, not yet provided a patch. Sorry. + + + +7. Managing the mail system + + +7.1. How do I safely stop qmail-send? Back when we were running +sendmail, it was always tricky to kill sendmail without risking the loss +of current deliveries; what should I do with qmail-send? + +Answer: Go ahead and kill the qmail-send process. It will shut down +cleanly. Wait for ``exiting'' to show up in the log. To restart qmail, +run /var/qmail/rc the same way it is run from your system boot scripts, +with the proper PATH, resource limits, etc. + +Alternative, if qmail is supervised: svc -t /var/run/qmail. The +supervise process will kill qmail, wait for it to stop, and restart it. +Use -d instead of -t if you don't want qmail to restart automatically; +to manually restart it, use -u. + + +7.2. How do I manually run the queue? I'd like qmail to try delivering +all the remote messages right now. + +Answer: Give the qmail-send process an ALRM. (Do svc -a /var/run/qmail +if qmail is supervised.) + +You may want to run qmail-tcpok first, to guarantee that qmail-remote +will try all addresses. Normally, if an address fails repeatedly, +qmail-remote leaves it alone for an hour. + + +7.3. How do I rejuvenate a message? Somebody broke into Eric's computer +again; it's going to be down for at least another two days. I know Eric +has been expecting an important message---in fact, I see it sitting here +in /var/qmail/queue/mess/15/26902. It's been in the queue for six days; +how can I make sure it isn't bounced tomorrow? + +Answer: Just touch /var/qmail/queue/info/15/26902. (This is the only +form of queue modification that's safe while qmail is running.) + + +7.4. How do I organize a big network? I have a lot of machines, and I +don't know where to start. + +Answer: First, choose the domain name where your users will receive +mail. This is normally the shortest domain name you control. If you are +in charge of *.movie.edu, you can use addresses like joe@movie.edu. + +Second, choose the machine that will know what to do with different +users at movie.edu. Set up a host name in DNS for this machine: + + mailhost.movie.edu IN A 1.2.3.4 + 4.3.2.1.in-addr.arpa IN PTR mailhost.movie.edu + +Here 1.2.3.4 is the IP address of that machine. + +Third, make a list of machines where mail should end up. For example, if +mail for Bob should end up on Bob's workstation, put Bob's workstation +onto the list. For each of these machines, set up a host name in DNS: + + bobshost.movie.edu IN A 1.2.3.7 + 7.3.2.1.in-addr.arpa IN PTR bobshost.movie.edu + +Fourth, install qmail on bobshost.movie.edu. qmail will automatically +configure itself to accept messages for bob@bobshost.movie.edu and +deliver them to ~bob/Mailbox on bobshost. Do the same for the other +machines where mail should end up. + +Fifth, install qmail on mailhost.movie.edu. Put + + movie.edu:alias-movie + +into control/virtualdomains on mailhost. Then forward bob@movie.edu to +bob@bobshost.movie.edu, by putting + + bob@bobshost.movie.edu + +into ~alias/.qmail-movie-bob. Do the same for other users. + +Sixth, put movie.edu into control/rcpthosts on mailhost.movie.edu, so +that mailhost.movie.edu will accept messages for users at movie.edu. + +Seventh, set up an MX record in DNS to deliver movie.edu messages to +mailhost: + + movie.edu IN MX 10 mailhost.movie.edu + +Eighth, on all your machines, put movie.edu into control/defaulthost. + + +7.5. How do I back up and restore the queue disk? + +Answer: You can't. + +One difficulty is that you can't get a consistent snapshot of the queue +while qmail-send is running. Another difficulty is that messages in the +queue must have filenames that match their inode numbers. + +However, the big problem is that backups---even twice-daily backups--- +are far too unreliable for mail. If your disk dies, there will be very +little overlap between the messages saved in the last backup and the +messages that were lost. + +There are several ways to add real reliability to a mail server. Battery +backups will keep your server alive, letting you park the disk to avoid +a head crash, when the power goes out. Solid-state disks have their own +battery backups. RAID boxes let you replace dead disks without losing +any data. + + +7.6. How do I run a supervised copy of qmail? svc sounds useful. + +Answer: Install daemontools (http://pobox.com/~djb/daemontools.html). +Create a /var/run/qmail directory. Change + + /var/qmail/rc + +to + + supervise /var/run/qmail /var/qmail/rc + +in your boot scripts. Make sure that supervise is in the startup PATH. +Now you can use svc to stop or restart qmail, and svstat to check +whether qmail is running. + + +7.7. How do I avoid syslog? It chews up a lot of CPU time and isn't +reliable. + +Answer: Install daemontools (http://pobox.com/~djb/daemontools.html). +Make a /var/log/qmail directory, owned by qmaill, mode 2700. Do + + qmail-start ./Mailbox /usr/local/bin/accustamp \ + | setuser qmaill /usr/local/bin/cyclog /var/log/qmail & + +in /var/qmail/rc. + +If you are logging tcpserver connections, make a /var/log/smtpd +directory, and use cyclog /var/log/smtpd for tcpserver. You shouldn't +run several copies of cyclog with the same log directory. + +By default, cyclog keeps 10 automatically rotated log files, each +containing up to 100KB of log data. To keep 20 files with 1MB each, use +cyclog -s 1000000 -n 20. + + + +8. Miscellany + + +8.1. How do I tell qmail to do more deliveries at once? It's running +only 20 parallel qmail-remote processes. + +Answer: Decide how many deliveries you want to allow at once. Put that +number into control/concurrencyremote. Restart qmail-send as in question +7.1. If your system has resource limits, make sure you set the +descriptors limit to at least double the concurrency plus 5; otherwise +you'll get lots of unnecessary deferrals whenever a big burst of mail +shows up. Note that qmail also imposes a compile-time concurrency limit, +120 by default; this is set in conf-spawn. + + +8.2. How do I keep a copy of all incoming and outgoing mail messages? + +Answer: Set QUEUE_EXTRA to "Tlog\0" and QUEUE_EXTRALEN to 5 in extra.h. +Recompile qmail. Put ./msg-log into ~alias/.qmail-log. + +You can also use QUEUE_EXTRA to, e.g., record the Message-ID of every +message: run + + | awk '/^$/ { exit } /^[mM][eE][sS][sS][aA][gG][eE]-/ { print }' + +from ~alias/.qmail-log. + + +8.3. How do I switch slowly from sendmail to qmail? I'm thinking of +moving the heaven.af.mil network over to qmail, but first I'd like to +give my users a chance to try out qmail without affecting current +sendmail deliveries. We're using NFS. + +Answer: Find a host in your network, say pc.heaven.af.mil, that isn't +running an SMTP server. (If addresses at pc.heaven.af.mil are used, you +should already have an MX pointing pc.heaven.af.mil to your mail hub.) + +Set up a new MX record pointing lists.heaven.af.mil to pc.heaven.af.mil. +Install qmail on pc.heaven.af.mil. Replace pc with lists in the control +files. Make the qmail man pages available on all your machines. + +Now tell your users about qmail. A user can forward joe@heaven.af.mil to +joe@lists.heaven.af.mil to get ~/Mailbox delivery; he can set up .qmail +files; he can start running his own mailing lists @lists.heaven.af.mil. + +When you're ready to turn sendmail off, you can set up pc.heaven.af.mil +as your new mail hub. Add heaven.af.mil to control/locals, and change +the heaven.af.mil MX to point to pc.heaven.af.mil. Make sure you leave +lists.heaven.af.mil in control/locals so that transition addresses will +continue to work. |
