The design of qmail will theoretically result in more latency e.g. process 1 forking and exec'ing process 2 which execs process 3 and so on. Also there's less shareable memory that way. However the gain in simplicity, security and robustness is worth it, especially since the processes are very small making these nonissues in most cases and especially for email. Also most other email servers aren't even close to performing at that level in the first place :). I can see how it will be an issue for web servers though. Still if we start putting fat processes (a perl checkmail for instance) in the typical qmail process pipeline it could get ugly. Or do anything which needs a long startup time (make db connections). Cheerio, Link.

I've seen *2* variants of this so far - one from "sexyfun" and the badly misspelled story, and one with no story or faked sender - only an empty sender, but otherwise the same virus. This critter hasn't taken down our qmail server (mark 1 for the good guys) despite it's being an antique (relatively speaking) - Cyrix P166(ish) / 4G IDE / 128M RAM, altho I was receiving nearly 1000 double-bounces per day from the damnable thing. Tracking who has it isn't exactly easy, either... however if there are any dial-up sysadmins out there who could use a tip, this has helped me out considerably: In Win9x, under the network control panel, setting the "Host:" setting under DNS to the username of the person, will make that username show up in the (HELO x) string in qmail's main Received: header. We had our customers set this since day 1, and this has helped me immensely in tracking the infected person. That and if you have separate qmail & authentication servers, make sure they're both updated at least once per day to an atomic time clock. Servers that are 5 min. off are a real bugger to figure out who was online when... Anywho, I hope this helps someone out there -- it's the least I can do to try to repay the help I've received on this list over the last 6 years... :-) Thanks, Roger "Merch" Merchberger = Roger "Merch" Merchberger -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] SysAdmin - Iceberg Computers = Merch's Wild Wisdom of the Moment: = Sometimes you know, you just don't know sometimes, you know?

I just had the DNS transferred over from a third party that was handling the mail. All that goes to our addresses doesn't get rejected but when we login there is no messages either. This is for both mail that is relayed remotely and locally. When I do qmail-qstat I get this: messages in queue: 110 messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 0 I'm at a loss as to where the mail is going and how to get it to the right users.

Nothing benefits from multithreading. It makes the code hard to understand, creates new problems (one thread dies, the whole app dies), kills resource limits, and is not even faster. There is no reason to use multithreading except if you are a marketing guy at Sun or Microsoft and your analysis says that it is cheaper to ram multithreading down people's throats than to fix the insanely huge process creation latency of your broken poor excuse of an operating system.

"it" bounces it back. MX2? If so, you have it misconfigured. The domain
should be in "rcpthosts" and ("virtualdomains" OR "locals") on MX1 (primary),
and in "rcpthosts" ONLY on MX2.
Post the output of `qmail-showctl` on both MX1 and MX2, and DON'T obscure/
mask the host/domain names in question. We need that information to check
if the DNS is correct.

If all he's trying to achive is reduce forking on his Solaris box, I concur. However if we generalize the question, I don't know that I'd draw the same conclusion. If any area of qmail would benefit for threading, it might be the remote delivery mechanism - currently handled by Batman and Robin, er, sorry, qmail-rspawn and qmail-remote. First off, there is an amount of data they can share and cache, such as tcpok and recent DNS lookups. Second, remote delivery can have very high latency so any footprint saving is a big saving. Third, the state requirements are truly tiny. A socket and an fd is just about all that the thread needs. Fourth, there are few security issues. Neither qmail-rspawn nor qmail-remote need any special file system access. This is often a nasty complication for threaded implementations. Not so here. Fifth, the interface is simple and clean, plug in the threaded qmail-rspawn and no one is any the wiser. Sixth, the problem domain isn't that large: $ wc -l qmail-rspawn.c qmail-remote.c 103 qmail-rspawn.c 427 qmail-remote.c 530 total Having said that, in the scheme of things, qmail-remote borders on ridiculously tiny as it is. I recently wrote a queueless wrapper program that uses qmail-remote as the smtp engine (opt-in spam I call it). I rediscovered that a concurrency of 1,000 qmail-remotes consumes very little system resource on FreeBSD. > I'm going to put my manager's hat on for a moment.

Relay only server
How does one setup Qmail to accept mail for a particular domain, and then simply hold it and que it till it can be delivered to another server? i.e. server MX1 == Primary server. server MX2 == Alternate server MX1 is down, so MX2 recieves a mail message. The users on MX1 do not exist on MX2, but I want MX2 to accept the message, then relay it to MX1 when MX1 is back up. How is this accomplished? Thanks! -- Dan

Please Help. Some time ago (several months) I successfully set up qmail on my Linux box at work. (I use it as a "junk" mail server.) I used "Life With qmail" as my guide and things went well. It worked and HAS worked flawlessly for me lo these many months. Yesterday, for the first time since that time of installation I had occasion to reboot my box. I guess I must never have properly configured qmail to start automatically, 'cause it didn't! Re-reading through LWQM I attempted to "manually" start qmail by executing /usr/local/sbin/qmail (script follows). Upon doing that, my console starts scrolling with the following messages: supervise: fatal: unable to acquire log/supervise/lock: temporary failure supervise: fatal: unable to acquire qmail-send/supervise/lock: temporary failure supervise: fatal: unable to acquire qmail-smtpd/supervise/lock: temporary failure Unfortunately, the failure seems anything BUT temporary!

This linux router portforwards ports 25 and 110 on the external IP to the internal Qmail box. I don't currently have DNS working (properly) on the internal network, and the windows PC's all find each other by NetBIOS broadcasts.. So (the Qmail bit) If I want Qmail to accept incoming SMTP connections from any of the 'inside' Windows PC's, do I have to add 10.0.0. to /etc/tcp.smtp (as detailed in LWQ/Chris Johnson's document)? I am not in the office so I can't currently test it, and I don't want to have to talk a user through doing it ;-) I have external relaying working fine from my own 'at home' IP address.
