I am just about to move my server from Fedora 21 to 22 (x86_64) so this
would be good timing to test out eQmail to see if it suits my setup. I
make use of GreyLite (which is no longer supported) and my own Ruby spam
script that is called via qmail-qfilter. I show bits of relevant files
below - can you see any issue with using my setup with eQmail?

/var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue is renamed to /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue.old

In qmail-qfilter.c there is:

#define QMAIL_QUEUE "/var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue.old"

so if the filter scipt fails for some reason, the mail falls through to
the normal qmail-queue.


/var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue:

!/bin/sh

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/bglibs/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
exec /var/qmail/bin/qmail-qfilter /var/qmail/bin/srejector2.rb


/var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run:

#!/bin/sh

QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaild`
NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild`
MAXSMTPD=`cat /var/qmail/control/concurrencyincoming`
LOCAL=`head -1 /var/qmail/control/me`

if [. -z "$QMAILDUID" -o -z "$NOFILESGID" -o -z "$MAXSMTPD" -o -z
"$LOCAL" ]; then
echo QMAILDUID, NOFILESGID, MAXSMTPD, or LOCAL is unset in
echo /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run
exit 1
fi

if [ ! -f /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts ]; then
echo "No /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts!"
echo "Refusing to start SMTP listener because it'll create an open
relay"
exit 1
fi

exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 64000000 \
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -H -l "$LOCAL" \
-x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c "$MAXSMTPD" \
-u "$QMAILDUID" -g "$NOFILESGID" 0 smtp \
/usr/local/bin/greylite \
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2> /var/log/greylite.log


Thanks,

Phil.

I would expect if this was working correctly then there should be no
issue with eqmail. But I don't use qmail-qfilter/spamassassin/greylite.

This looks good for me on the first view too. And if the last 2 lines
are working then there should be no issue. Nevertheless some unexpected
things can happen always.

The qmail-queue.c of my sources is only affected through the
big-todo-patch directly. In case something goes wrong please let me
know. Maybe spamdyke can be an alternative for greylisting/spamfiltering
than.

Thanks

I left out all the greylite and qmail-qfilter stuff to begin with on the
new Fedora 22 server and got to the stage where I could send a mail on
the local server and have it delivered to the user - however there is a
problem with getting external mail delivered. I can see from tcpdump
that connections are being attempted but a test with:

telnet pricom.com.au 25

from a remote server connects but then is immediately disconnected by
pricom. I see this in the /var/log/messages file:

Jun 18 00:11:31 localhost audit: <audit-1701> auid=4294967295 uid=181
gid=180 ses=4294967295 pid=2518 comm="qmail-smtpd"

000000000040a3b0 sp 00007ffc8d185718 error 4 in
qmail-smtpd[400000+10000]

- not sure where to go from here . .

Thanks,

Phil.

? - if you look below at the configuration I posted originally it is
already set at 64000000 . .

Thanks anyway,

This is strange. I need a bit more info. Is it on a 32Bit or 64bit
System?
I did the "telnet to pricom.com.au 25" and get

$ telnet pricom.com.au 25
Trying 110.142.211.14...
Connected to pricom.com.au.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 pricom.com.au ESMTP
ehlo
250-⁠pricom.com.au
250-⁠PIPELINING
250 8BITMIME
Connection closed by foreign host.

It disconnects after a few seconds. Maybe because latency.
Do you see anything in your logs? Especially in log of qmail-⁠smtpd?

Assuming it is plain eQmail-1.08.1 with ucspi-tcp-0.88. Could you
increase
the softlimit (dramatically)? Could you run it without the softlimit
tool too? Could you send me your run file?

Otherwise what's your kernel version? What says gcc -⁠v?

Maybe you can go through these threads:

That result is because I have rebooted on Fedora 21 already so I can
keep working . .

0 bytes in all the /var/log/qmail/smtpd/* files.

Correct.

On the other note I posted to the list in response to someone else
suggesting the same thing - it was already 64*10^6 . . you mean more
than that?

Do you mean just take out the reference to the softlimit?


> Could you send me your run file?


I put that in the original mail - here it is again (the only difference
from my current version is that I have taken out the greylite stuff):

#!/bin/sh

QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaild`
NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild`
MAXSMTPD=`cat /var/qmail/control/concurrencyincoming`
LOCAL=`head -1 /var/qmail/control/me`

But it disconnects to early - I would expect a "250 AUTH ..." at least!?
On the other side it confuses me - above you wrote "Fedora 22 x86_64",
here "rebooted on Fedora 21" ...
Does it mean that eQmail-1.08.1 works on Fedora 21 w/o the segfault? Or
what version of qmail does run?
Also an
openssl s_client -starttls smtp -connect pricom.com.au:25
didn't work.
Main response is:
CONNECTED(00000003)
didn't found starttls in server response, try anyway...
...

However, I would urgently suggest to have a system with eQmail-1.08.1
(and Fedora 22) up and running for further debugging. Otherwise there
could be nothing in the logs.

I wanted to make sure that it there is no critical change. Look so far
ok to me. Maybe you can do some more tests with the tcpserver opts -RHl?
Nevertheless the last line looks critical for me - is anything in
greylite.log?

You are using really actual versions. I did test it with kernel 2.6.x

It seems that the "segfault" happens on Fedora bases distros only. Again
to the list: there were a number of downloads of eqmail-1.08.1 - please
give any feedback!

As I said in my first post - I am currently using:

- netqmail
- greylite
- qmail-qfilter + my Ruby script

on Fedora 21 x86_64 - which is working fine. I am attempting to get a
standard install of eQmail going on Fedora 22 x86_64 (on a different HD
but the same machine) but have this segfault problem. To enable me to
keep working, I have rebooted on F21 until someone can tell me why I
might be getting the segfaulting on F22.

It doesn't matter - I am on the F21 working system at the moment.

Unless there is some useful suggestion about a probable explanation and
how to fix it on F22 . . I have to get some work done on F21 and it is
not really convenient to set up on another machine when I have to come
back to the current one anyway. I have supplied all the log stuff that
had any errors that there were for F22.

You need to be more careful with you inline responses! - the line above
is your response but it looks like mine because you didn't remove the
">>" . . I will try removing the softlimit completely when I have time
to reboot and test F22 again.

Again you have problems with inline responses and not removing ">>".
There were no errors in the greylite.log .

OK, has anybody got this working with Fedora 22 x86_64 or RH?

Thanks,

Phil.

Hi Phil,

did you create the file /var/qmail/control/smtpplugins? It should have
the content:


# qmail-spp configuration file

# plugins to execute on client's connection
[connection]

# plugins to execute on HELO/EHLO commands
[helo]

# plugins to execute on MAIL command
[mail]

# plugins to execute on RCPT command
[rcpt]

# plugins to execute on DATA command
[data]

## NOTE: use below section only if your installation supports it
# plugins to execute on AUTH command
#[auth]


It could be empty but have to exists.

As I created this file by hand always I should improve this to do it
automatically.

Kai

Kai,

Yes! - that fixed the problem - many thanks!

Now that eQmail is working for me, I would like to investigate the
usefulness of the patches and how I might make better use of some of
them - but I will start another thread for that.

Regards,

Phil.
