sendmail delivery deferral
Curious.. does sendmail have a sticky-bit-deferral mechanism like qmail, or is that another one of djb's sage ideas? I've been trying to organize some mail today on a box that still uses sendmail, serving to remind me how much I appreciate qmail. -- Drew
Re: Help setting up Hotmail
* Schajee Achmad [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I just wanted to confirm that if someone wants to make Hotmail of his own, then he'll need the following: Qmail, VmailMgr, Courier (not Courier-IMAP), ucspi-tcp, daemontools, supervise-scripts. Courier includes SqWebMail which can be modified to suit one's needs. You don't need courier for sqwebmail. As far as Hotmail goes, you'll also need Windows NT, IIS, and a crap-load of proprietary code. -- Drew

$EXT from users/assign
I'm setting up a mail server where my users each have a virtual email account in a Courier IMAP userdb file. My qmail interface with this works great, but I foresee problems when I start switching over all my users... maintenance. I have all the users in users/assign, which then turns things over to a user courier. Like so, users/assign: =jones:courier:4500:11:/home/courier:-:jones: =smith:courier:4500:11:/home/courier:-:smith: =thompson:courier:4500:11:/home/courier:-:thompson: . Now, in /home/courier, I have some .qmail files which direct message delivery to respective maildirs, drwxr-xr-x 6 courier mail512 Jun 13 15:34 . drwxr-xr-x 4 root wheel 512 May 29 15:43 .. -rw--- 1 courier mail 16 Jun 13 15:28 .qmail-jones -rw--- 1 courier mail 20 Jun 4 09:18 .qmail-smith -rw--- 1 courier mail 27 Jun 4 15:30 .qmail-thompson drwx-- 5 courier mail512 Jun 13 14:37 Maildir-jones drwx-- 8 courier mail512 Jun 13 15:39 Maildir-smith drwx-- 61 courier mail 3072 Jun 13 13:47 Maildir-thompson And then in .qmail-jones, I have: ./Maildir-jones/ I started thinking, though, that I could simplify it a little. I poked around the manpages and saw in dot-qmail: If .qmail-ext doesn't exist, qmail-local will try some default .qmail files. For example, if ext is foo-bar, qmail-local will try first .qmail-foo-bar, then .qmail-foo- default, and finally .qmail-default. So I thought, Why have all those separate .qmail files? I then created one simple .qmail-default file containing: ./Maildir-$EXT/ And deleted all the remaining .qmail-whatever files. This, however, did not work. And the log was a bit modest in its diagnosis: failure: Sorry,_no_mailbox_here_by_that_name._(#5.1.1)/ So my question is two-fold... what have I done wrong in this particular case... is $EXT the wrong variable? Also, does anything jump out at you that could simplify my overall scheme? I don't have a huge userbase, about 40, but it's enough that I need to automate a few things. -- Drew

vsm-style Maildir?
This seems like it would be a common question, but I haven't found a clear answer. I would like to merge the stability and speed of Maildirs with the administrative convenience of VSM (nice, clean, all-in-one directory tree). I've tried starting qmail's rc with something like env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \ qmail-start /var/spool/mail/$USER/ splogger qmail after doing a maildirmake on /var/spool/mail/$USER, but I get the dreaded Unable_to_chdir_to_maildir error. I've only set up qmail with regular vsm support before Could someone point me in the right direction or tell me why I wouldn't want to set this up this way? thanks -drew
