smtp without disk? hum ... what if your LEAF dies when the queue is not empty?? you end up loosing mail! I believe there are 2 answers to the problem: without disk: * you should be able to add a DNAT line in Shorewall to forward all traffic from the Internet to the FW:25 to your Mail server:25 inside the firewall ... and configure NATing to allow your Mailserver to send mail out ( or to your ISP mail relay) with disk: * you can mount /dev/hdaX /var/qmail/queue in /etc/init.d/qmail start ( and umount it in stop ) to keep your queue on disk. The trick is to modify the /var/lib/lrp/qmail.list and qmail.exclude.list in qmail.list replace var/qmail/queue/lock by var/qmail/queue (you need to create the mount point ) and add var/qmail/queue/* in exclude.list when performing the installation the first time, you'll have to get all the files [ the one created dynamically and the lock directory ] from /var/qmail/queue to the Hard Disk of course you'll need a fs driver ( ext2/ext3?). voila... I think I didn't miss anything ? ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: To learn the basics of securing your web site with SSL, click here to get a FREE TRIAL of a Thawte Server Certificate: http://www.gothawte.com/rd524.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
