Hello,
I hope everybody is well even during these special times! I first sent
this message to the vmailmgr/bgware lists, but as I only got one answer
(thanks John), I thought I could also send it to the good old qmail list.
I still have a few servers with qmail/vmailmgr (netqmail-tls under
freebsd), and one of the most frequent issue now is with forwarded mails
which are rejected for whatever (SPF, DKIM, etc.) reason.
For example a mail from: <*******@gmail.com> sent to user1@domain.ext
with this setup in /home/domain.ext/vpasswd.cdb:
User Mailbox Aliases
user1 No remote1@example.org remote2@example.org
will be sent to "remote1@example.org" and "remote2@example.org" still
with <*******@gmail.com> as return-path, and it will fail on quite a
lot of servers because my server is not allowed to send mails as
@gmail.com. (SPF soft fail).
SRS could be a solution but is quite hard to implement on a
vmailmgr-based system. Something simpler maybe would be to make sure
the mails from the qmail/vmailmgr server are then sent with
<user1@domain.ext> as envelope sender / return-path.
Is this something somebody here is doing, and if yes, how ?
At the same time I am also looking for good alternative as replacement
of my old qmail/vmailmgr/omail-admin servers: at the moment I'm having
a look at mailcow (https://mailcow.email/), and if it works well (even
if not qmail-based anymore), I'll work on some migration scripts.
If you moved away from vmailmgr but you are still around on this list,
I'd be glad to read about your experiences, thanks!
Best regards & a nice end of week to you,
Olivier
