Thanks, guys. Appreciate all the responses. What I've done before is added qpsmtd-forkserver to /service and forwarded to port 2525. I'm using OpenBSD and got hung up on the qmail-smtpd replacement part.
It was easier for me to forward to port 2525 than to muddle through trying to replace qmail-smtpd and call qpsmtpd. I must be an idiot ;) I'm always open to better suggestions! -----Original Message----- From: Juerd [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 03, 2007 1:55 PM To: qpsmtpd@perl.org Subject: Re: qmail port Marcus Brim skribis 2007-01-03 11:53 (-0600): > I run it in the configuration that Charlie's asking about, and it > seems to work well. Forwards to port 2525 where qmail picks it up. If qmail runs on the same machine, it's much better to deliver it directly to qmail, than to use a new TCP+SMTP connection for this. Running qmail on the same machine, on port 2525, and forwarding everything to it, is a waste of resources. Besides that, it is harder to set up, and harder to maintain. Just run everything you normally run for qmail, but without qmail-smtpd. The easy way to automate this, is to find the init script (/etc/init.d/qmail on Debian systems) and remove the part that starts the SMTP daemon. This is typically done with tcpserver; just remove the entire tcpserver command, which is usually spread over a few lines. Be careful to remove the right amount of lines! When I say "remove", read "comment out" :) To have qpsmtpd deliver to qmail directly, have queue/qmail-queue at the end of your "plugins" config file. IIRC, this is the default. -- korajn salutojn, juerd waalboer: perl hacker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://juerd.nl/sig> convolution: ict solutions and consultancy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Ik vertrouw stemcomputers niet.
