LWQ Updated
I finally found a few spare moments to update LWQ. Sigh. Sorry it took so long. There are lots of minor changes, of course, but also a few bigger ones: 1) Services go under /service 2) qmail script is now qmailctl 3) Improved qmail-pop3d installation instructions 4) Links to two more translations: Polish and Russian. Thanks for your support. Comments are welcome, as always. -Dave
Re: ANNOUNCE: qmail now works with the diet libc
On Wed, Jun 06, 2001 at 10:54:33PM +0200, Felix von Leitner allegedly wrote: I recently did a few updates to my diet libc (http://www.fefe.de/dietlibc/) and it can now compile and link qmail. Since the diet libc can also compile and link openssl, the STARTTLS patch also works. What's the difference, you ask? This ps listing is on a box with qmail dynamically linked against the glibc: USER PID %CPU %MEM SIZE RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND qmaill 29527 0.0 0.1 1228 224 ? S N Mar 12 0:16 splogger qmail qmailq 29543 0.0 0.0 1208 104 ? S N Mar 12 0:03 qmail-clean qmailr 29529 0.0 0.1 1216 176 ? S N Mar 12 0:00 qmail-rspawn qmails 29521 0.0 0.1 1260 172 ? S N Mar 12 0:22 qmail-send root 29528 0.0 0.0 121680 ? S N Mar 12 0:08 qmail-lspawn ./Maildir/ Please note the drastically reduced memory requirements. As you can see, the process are running for many days on the first box, so unused memory is already swapped out. Not so on the second box. Why is this significant? Because it allows a much larger concurrency on the same hardware. More POP3 users, more concurrent local and remote deliveries, more incoming SMTP connections. Er, what's the chance of have a ps which compares qmail-popd, qmail-smtp and qmail-remote then? Kinda relevant doncha think? Regards.

I have followed the steps in the replies I found but I am confused about one point. I have tcpserver running on the secondary and it accepts mail coming into it. I can see the message in the queue. What I don't get is how it sends that message to the primary server once the primary comes back up? I figure it has to be qmail-send but am not sure how/where to start this on the secondary. What have I missed? You've missed the fact that if the primary has a better MX for the same domain name, the secondary will just send it -- providing that the domain name in question is not in locals or virtualdomains on the secondary. It's really that simple. That's what MX 'distance' is for. Of course, this also presumes that qmail-send is actually running. I don't think that's what you were asking? -- Greg White

Re: mail routing question
- You get all reference to the domain and users @ the domain out of the qmail control files. - The line above does _not_ apply to rcpthosts, there the domain remains - you put in smtproutes: domainname.ext:new.smtp.server and you gove qmail-send a -HUP Should do it...

Re: better methods to install qmail on linux ( Redhat 6.2 or 7.0)
Agreeably off topic, but 7.0 was the buggy/broken one. 7.1 has been running smooth here for a little over a month. The only problem I can find is the version of GTK that ships with it, but that's solved by upgrading that package. Other than that, the only thing I'd complain about is (1) redhat opens port 111 with a clean install no matter what and (2) 7.1 installs ssh, but not sshd. That's about all, so I'll shut up now ^^;; David Kieran Barnes wrote: This isn't really on topic, but... We could discuss the best installation of linux for the next several decades. Personally, I'd not use Redhat, but if you set on using Redhat, I'd use 6.2 with all the latest updates. From what I heard, 7.1 was very buggy and broken when it was released. 7.1 might be fixed slightly. 2 of our servers use Redhat 6.2 with the latest updates and they have run fine for several years.

Add a line like this to /var/qmail/control/smtproutes: virtualdomain.tld:newserver.tld See also http://www.qmail.org/man/man8/qmail-remote.html We use Qmail+Vpopmail. we are planning to move a virtual domain to another server. but i'm afraid the new incoming email will still store in the old server after we change the MX dns record to the new server. anyone know how to configure the old server's qmail route the email to new server? many many thanks
Re: better methods to install qmail on linux ( Redhat 6.2 or 7.0)
The best way is to start reading lwq. take a look at www.qmail.org where's a link. I don't understand what you mean with httpd applications , but I'm sure I'm not a guru...

Re: Inter7 introduces new software: vQregister
How inefficient do you think PHP is? What do you consider to be so much faster, native code running as a CGI? Have you benchmarked the two programs? - Original Message - Not everyone has a single box devoted to Apache with PHP modules. In fact, many people run a large amount of time consuming processes. Efficiency is always a factor, when it can be taken into account. Web based products should always be concerned with efficiency.
