masquerading internal adress for external mail
Hi all. I have a qmail smtp-pop3 server under linux that administer 30 internal user account, this is only an internal server so the internal adresses aren't really present on the net, i would like that if an internal users send an e-mail to the external word the "From:" field would masquerade his internal adress with an unique adress (the only adress that is present on the internet). A friend of mine say me that in sendmail there's this possibility and i'm sure that this is possible in qmail too, how can i do? Thanks Davide.
masquerading adress for external mail
Hi all. I'm running qmail on a linux debian 2.2 server with 30 smtp-pop3 users on a lan, every user has an adress on the local network but only one valid e-mail adress on the internet, i would like that if an user send an e-mail to a user on the internet qmail sobstite the "From" header with the e-mail adress valid on the internet. How can i do? I know that this is possible on sendmail and i think that would be possible in qmail too (i think that this is a common problem). Thanks. Davide --- (O> Davide Giunchi.

maildir with imap and more than 1Gb mailbox
Hi all. Here it's my problem: i've a qmail linux server smtp/qmail-pop3 and i've a windows Outlook client with a 1,1Gb of message stored in one file (Outlook use the only mailbox.pst to store the messages), it's obvious that this client has a lot of problem of stability and of getion of this large file (microsoft say that outlook with the mailbox >of 1gb has a lot of problem). I've thinked to convert the outlook file in a mailbox (with an external utility) file and then in a maildir archive and place a courier IMAP on the server with the maildir stored messages, so all the messages will be kept in the server with no problem for the Outlook client. I've a little question for this method: - Is maildir more reliable and fast of mailbox this big size of file/s? - Will be IMAP slower the Mail usage because the large net traffic (i've a 10mb lan) ? or all will work fine? - Will the server support this big traffic/resource utilizzation? (the server is a linux debian 2.2 PII 500 128Mb ram 8 Gb UDMA33 hd) Thanks for your help. Davide. ----------- (O> Davide Giunchi.
