There seems to be an inordinate amount of misinformation on the list lately. None of the qmail programs that depend on listening for network connections (qmail-smtpd, qmail-pop3d, qmail-qmqpd, qmail-qmtpd) can run as a standalone daemon. SNIP My bad. Looking back again at the docs etc., I see that I was talking out my ass about qmail-smtpd as a stand-alone daemon (although I seem to remember doing this at some point, perhaps pre-1.03, or perhaps my brain fails me yet again). My own searches on the subject reveal no results, so perhaps I misremember this completely. That being said, however, my intention was merely to indicate that even if one could run qmail-smtpd as a stand-alone daemon, why would one want to given just the two examples given above as additional functionality.

I've not got round to replying to this one: There may be an easy solution for you as follows - I've noticed that the order of messages listed by qmail-pop3d can be altered by touching (Unix command "touch") the messages in the new/cur directories. I assume that within a (C) program you could do the same with open-for-append followed by close. To perform tricks with this for qmail-pop3d, you can write a small shim to go between checkpassword and qmail-pop3d which 'touches' [in your case] all small files in Maildir/new, Maildir/cur before exec-ing qmail-pop3d as normal. This even works if your varying size files are distributed across new and cur! I haven't looked at the qmail-pop3d code, but I assume this is down to 'Cool DJB code' rather than a quirk of the system I tried it on (Linux). Hopefully the same can be achieved in your case for other mail collection mechanisms. cheers, Andrew. PS: Where's
Off-Topic: Maildirs as folders
I know there is a recurring thread, "Which readers use maildirs as folders?" The problem is, the answer is always the same: mutt. No other mailer uses maildirs as local folders, although a few can use maildirs as incoming mail spools. (If I'm wrong about this, please let me know!) Yes, mutt is just fine. However, we emacs users are discriminated against; switching to mutt is just not acceptable because it means losing all the rest of emacs's features from our mail reader. Also, fans of MH are out in the cold; there is no command-line interface for handling messages in maildir folders. I believe that the solution is a CLI maildir-enabled mailreader, similar in spirit to MH (but without any defects). The resulting tools should be easily imbeddable into things like Emacs mailreaders (GNUs, mh-e, and brand-new readers). If anyone is interested in exploring this idea, please send an empty email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and follow the directions in the reply.

I haven't looked at this particular paper, but one of the benefits of all the ATM development work that the Telcos have done over the last 5 or so years is the intense focus on scheduling algorithms with an emphasis on fairness and optimal resource usage (oh, and charging for every packet at every QOS level). Admittedly it tends to be for very short lived queues (such as cell queues in an ATM switch), but if you're into reasonably heavy mathematics then this area is rich in related reading material.

relay-ctrl
Hi, after having successfully set up qmail I really start loving it ;-). The only way to get it secure for my purpose seemed to be a smtp after Pop implementation. So I downloaded the relay-ctrl-2.0.tar.gz package and installed it as described. I changed the following lines in defines.h: RULESDIR "/etc" TCPRULES "/usr/local/bin/tcprules" SMTPRULES "tcp.smtp" SMTPCDB "tcp.smtp.cdb" I use POP3D via tcpserver and tcpserver with qmail-smtp. Everything works fine locally. When I pop the server, the IP of the client gets listed correctly in /var/spool/relay-ctrl. But it is not pssible to send any Mail wit a foreign adress even if the adresse is listed there. Thanks for any Help Clemens

It is called a REDES...a Reliable and Efficient Distributed E-mail System, which is made for sharing mail for one domain around a building, a city (this is what we do), a country, or the entire globe (although with the latter two security can become an issue : ). It also supports the ability to forward other domains to their relevant users in the case of changing domains from older ones in some locations.
