The general opinion on this list, as you may find, is that the best
way to install qmail is to follow www.lifewithqmail.org . You will
then know how qmail works, where the paths to all your files are (and
what they do), and hold the entire `mail system' in a higher regard.

You appear to be logging through multilog (good). It logs into a series of
files in a directory you specify. That directory is specified in the
file "run" located in the service directory. It might be /var/log/qmail, but
only you can tell how you installed it.

For some reason, lots of people seem to have trouble with this script.
I would suggest that the script is broken, but it works for us. You'll need
to provide some useful information for us to be able to tell you why it's
failing -- exit codes from the sendmail wrapper and log messages showing the
failure would be best.

You most certainly can. The question here is how to authenticate both
users using the same pop server. To do that, just make a unique user
and group for your virtual users. Check out
http://freshmeat.net/projects/checklocalpwd/ for a version of
checkpassword that can authenticate in this manner. I also recommend
setting up all of your real users on the same interface as your virtual
users and then symbolically linking the mail directory to which the
virtual account would normally point to the real user's mail
directories. Keep inherent permissions in mind here or you'll have a
big security hazard. If you can't find a secure way of doing that, you
can always just write a shell script which will update the real users'
e-mail directories off from their virtual accounts and either make it a
command or throw it in your crontab.

Are your other aliases working properly (ie. root, postmaster,
mailer-daemon, etc.)?

Yes. Any alias pointing to a real user (either local or remote) works
fine. It's only a problem with forwarding to .qmail-ext names.

What is the contents of your .qmail-foo-default file? Did you
remember to put an & before the user name? -sc

Thanks a lot.

I've read somewhere about the queue access times, how qmail keeps trying
to send mail in the queue in some exponential way or something. Does
anyone know where that piece of documentation is off hand? Thanks.

I was previously using splogger, and I just upgraded daemontools and set up
svscan. Now logs are written with multilog, however I am not seeing as much
information in my logs as with splogger. For example, a syslog logfile:
Mar 18 12:55:34 illusion qmail: 984945334.323009 status: local 1/10 remote
2/50
Mar 18 12:55:34 illusion qmail: 984945334.324140 new msg 650950

from <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> qp 7965 uid 1055

And a multilog logfile:
@400000003ab5b36e29511c3c tcpserver: status: 1/40
@400000003ab5b3812ef8fc7c tcpserver: ok 25834

@400000003ab5b38c29168054 tcpserver: status: 0/40
My qmail-smtpd's log/run file consists of this:
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/setuidgid qmaill /usr/local/bin/multilog t s2500000
/var/log/qmail/qmail-smtpd
So I am not filtering anything with multilog. Any ideas, or is this what is
supposed to be output?

If you set up qmail as per www.lifewithqmail.org, you will find that
there are two log files. The SMTP connections one and the messages
one. Have a look in /var/log/qmail/{send|smtpd} to see your logs.

/var/log/qmail/current actually wasn't being filled because I had left
splogger in my /var/qmail/rc... *oops*
Thanks though, I wouldn't have noticed it if I hadn't gone over
lifewithqmail.org (I had originally used
http://www.flounder.net/qmail/qmail-howto.html)

Uh, my example rc file doesn't log via splogger.
