Guide updated on 29th of February 2016

Test Qmail functionalities


We first make a basic check thanks to the script qmr_inst_check

chmod +x /downloads/scripts/qmr_inst_check
/downloads/scripts/qmr_inst_check

You should have such result :

Congratulations, your updated Debian Qmailrocks installation looks good!

iReboot your server to be sure all the service are started at boot time

reboot

When your server is restarted, we will check if it listen to the right ports

ss -tupan | grep LISTEN

You should have at least the bold ones :

tcp    LISTEN	  0      50             127.0.0.1:3306                  *:*      users:(("mysqld",pid=981,fd=10))
tcp    LISTEN     0      128                    *:783                   *:*      users:(("spamd child",pid=1103,fd=5),("spamd child",pid=1102,fd=5),("/usr/sbin/spamd",pid=802,fd=5))

tcp    LISTEN     0      20                     *:25                    *:*      users:(("tcpserver",pid=509,fd=3))

tcp    LISTEN     0      128                   :::110                  :::*      users:(("couriertcpd",pid=548,fd=3))
tcp    LISTEN     0      128                   :::783                  :::*      users:(("spamd child",pid=1103,fd=6),("spamd child",pid=1102,fd=6),("/usr/sbin/spamd",pid=802,fd=6))
tcp    LISTEN     0      128                   :::143                  :::*      users:(("couriertcpd",pid=569,fd=3))
tcp    LISTEN     0      128                   :::80                   :::*      users:(("apache2",pid=4626,fd=4),("apache2",pid=4625,fd=4),("apache2",pid=4624,fd=4),("apache2",pid=4623,fd=4),("apache2",pid=4621,fd=4),("apache2",pid=4611,fd=4),("apache2",pid=4610,fd=4),("apache2",pid=4609,fd=4),("apache2",pid=4608,fd=4),("apache2",pid=4607,fd=4),("apache2",pid=4603,fd=4))
tcp    LISTEN     0      20                    :::465                  :::*      users:(("sslserver",pid=513,fd=3))
tcp    LISTEN     0      128                   :::22                   :::*      users:(("sshd",pid=458,fd=4))

In this case, Qmail should now be able to send and receives e-mails.

Among couriertcpd/tcpserver/sslserver, the ports

Receiving e-mails

telnet localhost 25

You should have an answer like this :

Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 servername.localdomain.tld ESMTP
mail from: <testmail@test.com>
250 ok

Just a test !
.

250 ok 1279384489 qp 3711
quit
221 servername.localdomain.tld
Connection closed by foreign host.

This demonstrate a successful SMTP connection !

For our tests, we need to create a dummy account

/home/vpopmail/bin/vadddomain test.com brol
/home/vpopmail/bin/vadduser test@test.com brol2
qmailctl reload

We also can create a real account

/home/vpopmail/bin/vadddomain your_real_domain.tld your_postmaster_password
/home/vpopmail/bin/vadduser an_account@your_real_domain.tld your_account_password
qmailctl reload

You can of course do the same thing via vqadmin and qmailadmin web interfaces

"brol" is a belgian idiom that means "something useless"

You can send a test mail to an_account@your_real_domain.tld from you regular mail client. We 'll retrieve it in the next step but if you don't receive a NDR, it's probably already OK

Sending e-mail through an authentificate connection : Testing TLS

telnet localhost 25

You should have an answer like this:

Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 servername.domain.tld ESMTP
ehlo localhost
250-servername.domain.tld
250-STARTTLS
250-SIZE 0
250-PIPELINING
250 8BITMIME
starttls
220 ready for tls
quit
quit

In the above SMTP session, I have higlighted the important aspects in DARK RED. After you give the server the initial "ehlo localhost" command, you should get a response back that lists "250-STARTTLS", signaling that the server is in fact equipped for TLS functionality. Then, after you issue the "starttls" command, you should get the :"220 ready for tls" response if the server is able to successfully start the TLS session.

If you happen to get an error that states "454 TLS not available: missing RSA private key (#4.3.0)" after you issue the "starttls" command, you will want to check 2 things:
  1. Verify that the cert actually exists at /var/qmail/control/servercert.pem. If it's not there, go back to step 2 and repeat the cert creation step.
  2. Verify that the cert is owned by vpopmail:vchkpw. If it's not, then make it so like this :
    chown vpopmail:vchkpw /var/qmail/control/servercert.pem
    chmod 640 /var/qmail/control/servercert.pem

Now we have verified that the server supports the STARTTLS command, we can use openssl s_client to connect.

openssl s_client -starttls smtp -crlf -connect localhost:25 -quiet

This command is equivalent to the previous sequence until the "220 ready for tls" message

depth=0 /C=BE/ST=Brussels/L=Brussels/O=DOMAIN.TLD/OU=ICT/CN=fqdn/emailAddress=your@e-mail.tld
verify error:num=18:self signed certificate

.

250 ok 1279384489 qp 3711

As you've probably noticed, the login and password are encoded ( "dGVzdEB0ZXN0LmNvbQ==" stands for "test@test.com" and "YnJvbDI=" stands for "brol2")! You can encode yourself with the script base64

perl /downloads/scripts/base64

Press Enter to exit.
Input you string: test@test.com
Base64 encode is : dGVzdEB0ZXN0LmNvbQ==
Input you string: brol2
Base64 encode is : YnJvbDI=
Input you string: ^C (means press CTRL+C)

Test SMTP-SSL

openssl s_client -crlf -connect localhost:465 -quiet

It's nearly the same test. In this case, we use an SSL server where we connect to a different port number. We have to establish an SSL connection before the SMTP conversation even starts :

depth=0 /C=BE/ST=Brussels/L=Brussels/O=DOMAIN.TLD/OU=ICT/CN=fqdn/emailAddress=your@e-mail.tld
verify error:num=18:self signed certificate
verify return:1

I was getting error on qmr_inst_check:

! vpopmail database do not exist!

However it was there.  The script greps for datadir in /etc/mysql/my.cnf and looks for vpopmail subfolder under that.  But in my case (Ubuntu 20.04) since /var/lib/mysql is the default, it is not set there, and anyway its in an include file /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf.

My fix was to add "datadir = /var/lib/mysql" to /etc/mysql/my.cnf or mysql.cnf (Ubuntu has softlinks between these for /etc/alternatives/ reasons), and re-run qmr_inst_check and it worked.

Kevin - 16/10/2017 18:18

Thanks for a great howto. I used to run this on BSD many years ago and recently wanted to move back to my own mail server from an isp hosted. So far everything works great with some minor issues.

Using mailradar to test for openrelay some of the tests fail.
Specifically this one below.  Any suggestions on what I may have missed?

[Method 8 @ 1508170376]
<<< 220 mail.domain.com ESMTP
>>> HELO mailradar.com
<<< 250 mail.domain.com
>>> MAIL FROM: <antispam@[10.10.10.1]>

>>> RCPT TO: <"relaytest%mailradar.com">
<<< 250 ok
>>> QUIT
<<< 221 mail.domain.com

It seems to work now, it was a GLUE problem on my DNS records... Sorry for the inconvenience, but if someone is in the same case, don't forget to update your GLUE if you change your mail server ip :)

Steph - 01/01/2015 18:22

Yes I checked, but nothings appears in the log files (I checked /var/log/qmail/qmail-smtpd/current,  /var/log/qmail/qmail-send/current and syslog). Like there's no conversation between my server and Yahoo's.

Strangely, sometimes one mail works. But most of the time, nothing.

Thibs - 31/12/2014 13:22

Hello Steph,

Did you check /var/log/qmail/qmail-smtpd/current

You can eventually track the mails sent to Yahoo with Tracking

Steph - 30/12/2014 11:43

Hello,

I've recently migrate my old qmail server with a new one following this guide, and I've got trouble with Yahoo emails.

If I try to send emails from Yahoo to my server (tried with several of my domains), most of the time, I don't receive them and 24h later I've got the following email in my Yahoo inbox: 

Sorry, we were unable to deliver your message to the following address.

<xxx@yyy.com>:

Mail server for "yyy.com" unreachable for too long

- I don't have problems with other servers (Gmail, Live, ...), only Yahoo.

- I know that Yahoo error message is apparently bullshit (we find a lot on that on internet)

- I tried to edit line 69 of /service/qmail-smtpd/run to have RBL_BAD="" and then qmailctl restart to be sure Yahoo wasn't listed on spamhaus or something like that

- When emails are sent from yahoo, I don't see anything regarding an SMTP exchange in /var/log/qmail/qmail-smtpd/current, /var/log/qmail/qmail-send/current or syslog

Does someone have an idea?

Thank you

Thibs - 23/10/2014 14:09

Hi Seba,

Try to subscribe to their "Junk Mail Reporting Program"and register your IP linked to your account on  https://mail.live.com/mail/postmaster.aspx (it's the start page, I do not remember where it is)

Seba - 17/10/2014 19:20

Hi Thibs,

I've followed this guide on a fresh installation on a new server and i'm having problems sending emails to Microsoft servers.

Every email I sent goes directly to spam.

I've verified the source code of the message and I saw that did not pass sid and auth verifications.

X-AUTH-Result: NONE

X-SID-Result: NONE

The domain I'm using have the TXT record about SPF like others domains in others servers that are reaching inbox. Not using DKIM

Any idea?

LOL: my mistake!

i wrote "starttls" under openssl s_client command.

Sorry!

 

Mauricio - 30/04/2013 17:07

Hi Thibs,

When i test starttls option i get the following error:

454 TLS not available: TLS already active (4.3.0)

 

Here the entire process:

 openssl s_client -starttls smtp -crlf -connect localhost:25 -quiet

250-PIPELINING
250 8BITMIME
starttls
454 TLS not available: TLS already active (4.3.0)

This used to work just fine, but now i have this issue.

My client is having problem to send email using 25 with tls.

The message is pretty clear, i have not tls enabled, but how may this happend?

I've search log files and i didn't see any clue that helped me figure this out.

Thanks

Removed njabl.org DNSBL server from list, now everything works fine.

FYI: March 1, 2013: NJABL is in the process of being shut down. The DNSBL zones have been emptied. After "the Internet" has had some time to remove NJABL from server configs, the NS's will be pointed off into unallocated space (192.0.2.0/24 TEST-NET-1) to hopefully make the shutdown obvious to those who were slower to notice.


Thibs - 30/04/2013 14:39

@Stupicz

You have to type yourself ehlo localhost or mail from: <testmail@test.com>

 

Stupicz - 30/04/2013 13:18

Same problem...

root@server:~# telnet localhost 25

And nothing...

Thibs - 11/04/2013 12:06

@Mumu : What do you need to wait 5 min for ?

Before you can type "mail from: " ?

If you try

cat /etc/hosts

Do you have at least

127.0.0.1 localhost

?

Mumu - 04/04/2013 08:33

@Tripmod : What was exactly wrong ? Did you follow the instructions described in John's page under "current solution" ? If yes, note that this was also explained in clamav.php

 

Tripmod - 10/03/2012 15:45

the problem was in qmail-scanner, this http://qmail.jms1.net/clamav/qmail-scanner.shtml solve all my problems 10x for your support 

Thibs - 09/03/2012 16:36

@Tripmod : to be honnest I've never seen this error (but a search on Google shows me that you are not the only one)

Could you please confirm me :

1° The file /home/vpopmail/domains/YOUR-DOMAIN/.qmail-default contain

| /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox

2° The file /var/qmail/control/defaultdelivery contains

./Maildir

3° The file /etc/tcp.smtp contains at least

Try to check the SMTP log with the command :

Hi Mauricio,

It seems your permission on mailboxes are wrong :

This is how your /home/vpomail/domains/YOUR_DOMAIN should look like :

This is how your /home/vpomail/domains/YOUR_DOMAIN/MAILBOXE should look like :

If all the mailboxes of all domains are wrong, you probably missed something at this step

Hi Thibs, how are you?

I've installed a new server following your guide and i got this error log's message when i send a test email from my account to server's one.

 

400000004ea2e1ae00496aec starting delivery 48: msg 1838717 to local cosco.com.uy-copia@cosco.com.uy
@400000004ea2e1ae00498644 status: local 1/10 remote 0/120
@400000004ea2e1ae00bcc62c delivery 48: deferral: Unable_to_open_.qmail-copia:_access_denied._(#4.3.0)/
@400000004ea2e1ae00bcd5cc status: local 0/10 remote 0/120


Have you any idea what the problem is?

Kind regards!

Hi Hip0,

I've just checked the step qmail-ucspi.php and I mention

cd /var/qmail/control

chmod 640 servercert.pem
chown vpopmail:vchkpw servercert.pem

I've just re-done an entire install and nowhere those ownerships/permissions are destroyed ...

I have however noticed a potential problem on this page if you followed the optionnal tip If you happen to get an error that states "454 TLS not available".

I've just corrected this tip !

Hi Thibs,

I followed your guide to install a brand new qmail server and I got error caused by:

/service/qmail-smtpdssl/run

in /var/log/qmail/qmail-smtpdssl, there was the following error:

@400000004e9807b10dae2ca4 sslserver: fatal: unable to load certificate

I've posted on my blog an explanation to the issue - http://www.pc-freak.net/blog/how-to-fix-sslserver-fatal-unable-to-load-certificate-qmail-error-on-gnu-linux/

Maybe it's good if you fix it in your install guide as well.

 

Wish you best!

Georgi

@Master :

Try

qmailctl restart

You should have

Restarting qmail:
* Stopping qmail-smtpdssl.
* Stopping qmail-smtpd.
* Sending qmail-send SIGTERM and restarting.
* Restarting qmail-smtpd.
* Restarting qmail-smtpdssl.

Try then

qmailctl stat

You should have

/service/qmail-send: up (pid 17762) 63 seconds
/service/qmail-send/log: up (pid 17763) 63 seconds
/service/qmail-smtpd: up (pid 18500) 63 seconds
/service/qmail-smtpd/log: up (pid 17767) 63 seconds
/service/qmail-smtpdssl: up (pid 18496) 63 seconds
/service/qmail-smtpdssl/log: up (pid 17773) 63 seconds
messages in queue: 0
messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 0

If you still have the problem try this :

tail /var/log/qmail/qmail-smtpd/current

You should then see what's wrong

Maru : I've indeed the same as you.

But if you take a look all the "failed test" are not for external adress. So the host cannot be used to send mails outside.

e.g. :

RCPT TO:

You 'll suceed most of the tests if you follow the instructions of this optionnal task : http://qmailrocks.thibs.com/validrcptto.php

I checked open relay test at a below site after install qmailrocks successfully.

http://www.mailradar.com/openrelay/ 

The result is [TEST NOT PASSED] at the method 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 14, 15, 16.

What's the problem?

Mabiala : It's just because teste.co.ao do not exist (in my sample I used test.com because this domain exists)

You have to write EXACTLY

mail from: <testmail@test.com>

(of course replace by your e-mail adress)
