Re: multiple qmail-send
Please excuse my HTML side of the email. Won't happen again. I wasn't asking about qmail-remote or qmail-local. What I was asking is "Could I EVER see more than 1 qmail-send process running on my system ?". If I'm not mistaken, it's the qmail-send process the one that adds bounce addresses to the bounce directory and it's there that I haven't seen any locking system. Plus qmail-send relies on the good old select method to poll its inputs so the flow is synchronous.

multiple qmail-send
Can there be, in the normal flow of qmail, multiple instances of qmail-send running at the same time (?) because multithreaded it's not, and I haven't seen any locking mechanisms for the ressources qmail-send accesses directly. Thanks, Dan
verh archive@jab.org header patch
After patching qmail-remote.c with Frederik Lindbergs qmail-verh-0.06, the only problem I encountered was with To: header fields of the form archive@jab.org where each mailing recipient, apart from the verh bounce and reply addresses, would get a "personal" message with his address in the To: field. The solution above makes qmail-inject add the default domain to the resulting header, as it can't find the dot in the domain part of the address. I couldn't find any imediate solution for this so the patch I came up with is attached to this mail. The modifications are made only to qmail-inject.c, as it's not a big deal, or otherwise I would have had to touch at least 3 files (the token files and headers)... don't take my head off. The perfect reply to this would be "hehe... you could have just removed file x" or thelike... A+ from Paris Dan qmail-inject.c.diff
Re: Mailing from One connection
you're asking for the perfect spam solution your targets get mail messages without a To: header or a bogus one, and if they're lucky enough to receive mail on one address but reply with another, you'll never know who's it coming from it's clearly not the right way to do things dan - Original Message - From: D Rajesh To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 09, 2001 2:28 PM Subject: Mailing from One connection Hi All, I am sending different mails to 20,000 recipients at a time. So, each qmail-remote sends a mail to each recipient. or am I wrong If in the total 20,000 mails, say 5000 are hotmail, 5000 are yahoo and the rest are to other domains. Then, is it possible to open a single qmail-remote process and dump all messages to be sent to hotmail on one connection and open another connection for all yahoo messages I guess this speeds up the mail delivery amazingly Cheers, rajesh.
bounce/457 processing
Hello, One thing I haven't been able to find in the INTERNALS file (and without studying yet the code in detail) is how qmail-send processes the /queue/bounce files. Does it group several addresses with permanent errors into one single message? If it does, how does it cope with the VERH system? Normaly, I shouldn't have to parse the whole bounce message to for the list of invalid addresses. Thanx, Dan
