im new at the whole gentoo thing... maybe do a "emerge sync" first, then try emerge qmail.

you may also want to check /usr/portage/distfiles and delete any qmail-* files or whichever it says is corrupt....


I have a question for ppl... the headers in my emails do not contain "X-Spam-Status:"... any reason why i'd be missing this?

(edit) -- i managed to get the x-spam-status in. pebkac on my part. :roll:

Yeah I tried re-emerging sync several times and deleting the qmail files and redownloading them. Ive also tried a couple different rsync servers and gentoo mirrors. Is anyone else having this problem?

For future reference:
1. make sure the file in question really is not corrupt, or has been tampered with.
2. ebuild /usr/portage/net-mail/qmail/qmail-1.03-r13.ebuild digest
3. emerge qmail

portage records those digests to make sure the file the user downloads really is the same the developer used when s/he uploaded the ebuild.
Humans are not perfect, and sometimes wrong digest information gets uploaded. That's likely what's happened in this case. The abive commands regenerates these digests with the local distfiles.

Cheers,
N.

Alright... I've now got sending and receiving working fine, SMTP auth works, everything is going smoothly, *except* that f-prot/spamassassin seem to just be ignoring all email entirely. spamd is running, but never does anything, it doesn't even seem that messages are going to it. Very occassionally, maildrop will quietly tell syslog that it was unable to deliver something, but what or where is never recorded, so I have no idea what's happening with that. I have maildrop and mailfilter setup as per JeffreyCentex's example.

tcp.smtp
Code:
127.:allow,RELAYCLIENT="",RBLSMTPD="",QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl"
:allow,QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl"

did you copy all of spamassassin's files from /usr/share/spamassassin to /etc/mail/spamassassin ?

i emerged both f-prot and clamav.
all my emails have something similar to the following in the header:

Received: from apache@gentoo.org by www by uid 201 with qmail-scanner-1.16
(. clamscan: 0.60. spamassassin: 2.60. Clear:SA:0(0.4/5.0):.

Ok, here's the current situation:

SpamAssassin is occassionally scanning and marking emails. This appears to be entirely at random, and I can find no reason for it not to scan every message. When it does scan, it often fails to mark as spam e-mails with a score above 5.0, which doesn't make much sense to me either. F-prot does not appear to be functioning at all. I feel like I must be missing a crucial piece of the puzzle somewhere here, but I'm totally unclear where that might be.

Hmm. Sligh compilation problem
With queue-fix
I get
Code:
./compile fmt_str.c
./compile: line 3: exec: -m: invalid option
exec: usage: exec [-cl] [-a name] file [redirection ...]
make: *** [fmt_str.o] Error 2
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
rm -f trymkffo.o trymkffo
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

!!! ERROR: net-mail/queue-fix-1.4-r2 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 31, Exitcode 2
!!! (no error message)


Both -r1 and r2. emerge sybc did nothing

Oddly, when I go into the distfiles, tar -xzf it, and make it, it works. so it seems to be the patch causing problems ? (queue-fix-todo.patch) or the ebuild?

I'm totally new to mail servers but think i've done pretty well so far... I followed the step-by-step by the letter and basically have a functional system but with 1 or 2 problems...

i can send email using squirrelmail or an email client from inside and outside of my network but i can only recieve email by using mutt locally on the server (haven't tried any others locally on the server)... squirrelmail and any client i use let me log in and attempt to recieve new messages but the don't find any.. altho i can browse to the directory and read all of the messages that way...

i intially set everything up exactly the same as the tutorial, then tried changing the mail directory back to the default "Maildir" - the mail is delivered there successfully but only mutt reads from there....

I hope i made some sense - i've been working on this for 3 days and spent 2 and a half on this issue alone so i'm burnt out and will worship whoever can help me out :roll:

PostPosted: Mon Jan 26, 2004 5:57 pm    Post subject: feedback and observations Reply with quote

I've been using this howto for several email servers in all different stages that this howto had. It's a great document and it would be nice if it would be rechecked and updated with all the new stuff in the comments, as it's not obvious for the newbie which comment was good practice and which was not.

Now, correct me if i am wrong, but here are some errors still there in the original post, that might cause problems to some users:

in the howto, step 5
you have:
Quote:
> nano -w /etc/conf.d/spamd.conf
SPAMD_OPTS="-d -u vpopmail -v -x -C /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf"


but apparently the corect file is
Code:
> nano -w /etc/conf.d/spamd

that is: WITHOUT the .conf extension. if u do use the .conf extension it seems to me that you are creating a useless file and spamassassin is rendered useless. am i wrong ?

then some feedback, the .maildir vs Maildir problem which i also encountered.
the best solution is to leave .maildir as it is the default in all the packages except for qmailadmin, and you don't really need qmailadmin. if you do, you can indeed manually patch all files containing references to Maildir. i've done it and it works great, i could post a link to the patched sources but i think that you should consider my offer a security risk and you should do it yourselves.

then, one thing that's not clear yet:
do /etc/courier-imap/imapd and /etc/courier-imap/pop3d
need to read:
Code:

AUTHMODULES="authvchkpw"

or that is just an alternative or more direct way ??

Here's another question now, before i go check TFM :)
How can you enable spamassassin to report verbosely what he did to an email. On another server (redhat i think), when i got spam, i received the spam message AS AN ATTACHEMENT and in the body it said something like this:

Quote:
Spam detection software, running on the system "in.inregistrari.ro", has
identified this incoming email as possible spam. The original message
has been attached to this so you can view it (if it isn't spam) or block
similar future email. If you have any questions, see
the administrator of that system for details.

I like that kind of reporting. how do i enable it?

And yeah, one more for the road:
if i don't want f-prot or whatever antivirus to REJECT emails that have executable files attached (even rejects clean ones), but instead notify me somehow about "a possible threat", how can i do that ??

hope to hear more on this soon.
best regards

Correction to the HOWTO, ad 6):
The correct location for tcpd config files is /etc/tcprules.d/tcp.qmail-* as this is set in /var/qmail/control/conf-common, at least with the newer qmail ebuilds, so the latter part of section 6) of the HOWTO should read:
Code:
> nano -w /etc/tcprules.d/tcp.qmail-smtp

<<< edit settings >>>

save tcp.smtp and then:

> tcprules /etc/tcprules.d/tcp.qmail-smtp.cdb /etc/tcprules.d/.tcp.qmail-smtp.tmp < /etc/tcprules.d/tcp.qmail-smtp
> chmod 644 /etc/tcprules.d/tcp.qmail-smtp*

Regular incoming mail seems to be scanned fine now, but I've noticed that any mail coming in via fetchmail/getmail/gotmail/etc. is never sent through the scanner. Not sure why this is the case, as with postfix these messages are scanned. Also, I started having several good messages filtered as spam... but when I try to teach spamassassin from a maildir (whether doing spam or ham) I inevitably get:

Learned from 0 message(s) (2 message(s) examined).

The frustrating part is these are maildirs which I know contain over 50 messages, some of them over 600. Any ideas?

When i created the user vpopmail for the mysql db, i gave him a specific password.

When i want to login to squirrelmail it fails with login denied.

In Syslog i got following error msg:
Code:

Jan 28 14:24:34 tora imapd: Connection, ip=[127.0.0.1]
Jan 28 14:24:34 tora imapd: could not connect to mysql update server Access denied for user: 'vpopmail@localhost' (Using password: YES) with database
Jan 28 14:24:34 tora imapd: could not connect to mysql update server Access denied for user: 'vpopmail@localhost' (Using password: YES)
Jan 28 14:24:39 tora imapd: LOGIN FAILED, ip=[127.0.0.1]
Jan 28 14:24:39 tora imapd: DISCONNECTED, ip=[127.0.0.1], headers=0, body=0


i think he doesn't recognize the correct password. Can somebody help?

The issue, for me at least, is that vpopmail automatically creates a folder called Maildir for each user, and not .maildir. I simply told courierimap to use Maildir instead of .maildir to retrieve mail via the imap and pop3 protocols. I did not modify anything that tells vpopmail or qmail to place the mail in any particular folder. If I did do so by mistake, please point out where I set such a setting, because at the moment, vpopmail does put mail in Maildir by default for me.

vchkpw is the only program that can decrypt vpopmail-stored passwords. I'm not sure what you mean by "an alternative or more direct way." You could try to use the default settings and see if it works.

No idea on that one. Sending executables by email is generally not a good idea anyway, so I haven't really tested to see if it catches clean executables as well as virus executables.

Alrighty, I've discovered my error with sa-learn (you need to specify the cur or new etc folder as well, not just the main maildir), and I've also found my problem with maildrop. It seems that the reason maildrop keeps failing to deliver is that aliases are not being checked at all. Any mail to an alias procedes through, unmodified, and qmail then discovers that the maildir does not exist, so it gets dropped after cycling through the queue a few times. Any idea why the aliases would just plain not be processed?

For myself, I followed somewhat the howto in first post. I already had qmail + vmailmgr + courrier-imap + squirrelmail + omail-admin all working well. With MyDoom making it's way thrue the mail server, I tought this was a good time to install a AV scanner.

I was hesitating to install spamassassin since rblsmtpd was doing a super job eleminating spam, but I said "what the heck".

So I followed the steps for razor, f-prot, maildrop, Mail-SpamAssassin and qmail-scanner (and pretty much everything that I did not have). But now, when I try sending a mail to myself using Evolution, I get an error about DATA. I can't find anything at all in the qmail logs.

Also, I noticed that I have razor's log into the root (/) of the file system instead of in /var/log. In fact, I have absolutly no clue what's razor purpose. No users log on that system, so the instructions at the end of the ebuild are not applying... at least, I don't dig them.

Please shed some lights

So it seem for me too, except it does qork from localhost only.

As soon as I remove the QMAILQUEUE from tcp.smtp, it works from everywhere.

The strange thing is that, with qmail-scanner-queue.pl in tcp.smtp, nothing is logged when mail is relayed from client's machine. So it is clear something borks when that script is executed. But since I get no log...

I resolved the no-delivrery problem by increasing softlimit value in qmail-smtpd supervise script. It was set to 4000000 and I've increased it to 10000000. Now mails go thrue the MTA.

I'm left with spam not detected, and virii infectd mail double bouncing (sent to root@mails.inet, bounce to root@localhost.mails.inet when it should bounce to postmaster@mails.inet).
