bounce queue too long

charles October 2, 2019 04:24

I got this bounce:

<user@domain.com>:
CNAME lookup failed temporarily. (#4.4.3)
I'm not going to try again; this message has been in the queue too long.

any idea?

bounce queue too long

DNS records are wrong or not set up correctly or inaccessible, or your server is trying to retrieve ANY dns records, which produces a very large response from the DNS that may overflow your response buffer. In this case the any-to-cname patch would help. Are you using my combined patch?

DKIM on Qmail

Thorpe Mayes November 15, 2018 20:40

Hi,

I have qmail running on CentOS 7.x. It was installed per Life With Qmail. It is working fine.

I need to add DKIM.

I assumed that I could simply add the dkim-netqmail-1.06 patch on top of the patches I initially added (qmail-1.03.errno.patch
qmail-1.03.qmail_local.patch
qmail-0.0.0.0.patch
qmail-1.03.qmtpd-netstring.patch
qmail-103.patch)

When I did that I got the following errors:

Hunk #2 FAILED at 18.
Hunk #3 FAILED at 42.
Hunk #4 FAILED at 63.
3 out of 4 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file dns.c.rej

Hunk #1 FAILED at 23.
Hunk #2 succeeded at 35 (offset -11 lines).
Hunk #3 succeeded at 83 (offset -11 lines).
Hunk #4 succeeded at 109 (offset -11 lines).
Hunk #5 succeeded at 129 (offset -11 lines).
1 out of 5 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file qmail.c.rej

Hunk #3 FAILED at 73.
Hunk #5 succeeded at 171 with fuzz 2.
1 out of 8 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file qmail-pop3d.c.rej

Hunk #3 FAILED at 66.
1 out of 4 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file qmail-popup.c.rej

I went ahead and ran make, and got this:

make
( cat warn-auto.sh; \
echo CC=\'`head -1 conf-cc`\'; \
echo LD=\'`head -1 conf-ld`\' \
) > auto-ccld.sh
cat auto-ccld.sh make-load.sh > make-load
chmod 755 make-load
cat auto-ccld.sh find-systype.sh > find-systype
chmod 755 find-systype
./find-systype > systype
( cat warn-auto.sh; ./make-load "`cat systype`" ) > load
chmod 755 load
cat auto-ccld.sh make-compile.sh > make-compile
chmod 755 make-compile
( cat warn-auto.sh; ./make-compile "`cat systype`" ) > \
compile
chmod 755 compile
( ( ./compile tryvfork.c && ./load tryvfork ) >/dev/null \
2>&1 \
&& cat fork.h2 || cat fork.h1 ) > fork.h
rm -f tryvfork.o tryvfork
./compile qmail-local.c
./compile qmail.c
qmail.c: In function ‘qmail_open’:
qmail.c:38:13: error: ‘pic’ undeclared (first use in this function)
 qq->fdc = pic[0]; close(pic[1]);
 ^
qmail.c:38:13: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
make: *** [qmail.o] Error 1

Clearly I am not doing something correctly. Do I need to simply start over? Eliminate one or more of the other patches? Something else?

I am grateful for any ideas.

DKIM on Qmail

Hi, the DKIM patch is intended to be applied over a fresh netqmail. In this case, before compiling, you have to open those .rej files, look what went wrong during the patch process and then manually correct the source.

Edit: Perhaps it could be easier to apply DKIM firstly, and then add all the other extra patches not included already in netqmail

DKIM on Qmail

Hi Roberto,

Thank you for the reply and insights. 

I have DKIM working, which turned out to be simpler than I was making it. 

Thank you.

Hi, I suppose you are inserting that line in your .qmail files... what error do you get?

Adding qmail to supervisord

Jitender May 28, 2018 01:30

Hi,

I am trying to dockerize qmail.

Installling daemontools kills the container(send sig hup 1 which kills init script) + it tries to change innittab. I tried commenting out that part. Compiled qmail and related services + patch. But. now I am having issue adding this to supervirsord.I tried adding all running services related to qmail from a working installation but looks I am doing this wrong:

----

018-05-26 15:31:09,785 INFO exited: qmail-pop3d (exit status 126; not expected) 2018-05-26 15:31:09,786 INFO exited: tcpserver-smtpd (exit status 111; not expected) 2018-05-26 15:31:09,787 INFO exited: qmail-smtpd (exit status 126; not expected)

--

I am getting this for al except svscan and svscanboot.

mail not delivered in mailbox follow up

Roberto Puzzanghera Ed Vrijmoet November 11, 2017 14:19

Hi, you should provide more details... at least the complete qmail-send log

Are you strictly following my guide? Which lda are you using? dovecot or vpopmail?

And since I received a lot of messages about the missing log@domain mailbox, sorry if I ask, but are you sure that the missing mailbox is the recipient and not the log@yourdomain?
