Hi,
I am running AIX 4.2.3 and keep getting messages
"qmail-spawn unable to fork". The load is low and
almost no swap is being used.
Has anyone experienced this problem?

Ok, I have understand, interesting.
There are some things I have problems with. At first, IP/DNS Checking
of the sender.
In sendmail, I just enter this:
define(`_IP_LOOKUP_',1)dnl
define(`_DNSVALID_',1)dnl
Thats all to check for valid ip/dns of the sender.
Is there an option for qmail? I only found some ugly
patches/scripts/workarounds?
To prevent me agains spammers, in sendmail I just setup this options:
FEATURE(dnsbl,`rbl.maps.vix.com',`Rejected - see http://www.mail-abuse.org/rbl/
')dnl
FEATURE(dnsbl,`dul.mail-abuse.org',`Dialup - see http://www.mail-abuse.org/dul/'
)dnl
FEATURE(dnsbl,`relays.mail-abuse.org',`Open relay - see http://www.mail-abuse.or
g/rss/')dnl
FEATURE(dnsbl,`input.orbs.org',`Open relay - see http://www.orbs.org/')dnl
I have not found any options in qmail for similar things.
Any comments are welcome to help me out with qmail - but i don´t want
to install thousands of patches, scripts and tools.
It would be great to read some useful suggestions for a fast and
restorable way.
Thanks for your (hopefully) comments.

Just for the archive, I found a way for the rbl checking now.
It seems to be that I need this package http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp.html
and to intall a ruleset first for valid IPs to the "tcpserver". After that i can try
something like this
tcpserver -p -v -x/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -u1007 -g1007 0 25 \
rblsmtpd qmail-smtpd 2>&1
described in this howto:
http://www.summersault.com/chris/techno/qmail/qmail-antispam.html
I am not only waiting for answers - if i find the answer by myself i
post it of course for the archives to other qmail-newbies as me.
The only problem left is the dns checking thingy.

Qmail is entirely based upon the queue system of messaging so I'm not
entirely sure why you'd want to attempt to bypass that. Your other
options here are:
A.) Run another copy of qmail; or
B.) Run qmail on a separate machine entirely dedicated to this
operation.

Tom wrote me personally that this document lists "0". Haven't been there
for a long time and I wrote to Tom I'm sorry.
But I still hold the statement that putting 0 instead of local
hostname there is nonsense, if you have programs that do depend on
$TCPLOCALHOST more than using this string for logging (as tcpserver
itself).

i guess you should convert to a system using a filesystem which is not
mounted asynchronous by default. if you got the time check out free or
netbsd. i'll send you the man page for newfs on freebsd4 via pm.
having a mailspool and users mailboxes on a filesystem like ext2 is like
pointing a gun at your foot, playing with the trigger, waiting what
happens next.

Since the problem occurs so often, why aren't the -R and -H options
made default? Perhpas it should also be included in LWQ. Is there any
real disadvantage of using those options?

Or your operating system. You should only get this if files have been
seriously corrupted.
