 This is getting unacceptable! - The list is unusable.

Certainly not.  Get a better mail client.

sendmail delivery deferral

2001-07-17 Thread Drew Raines


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.

Re: Help setting up Hotmail

2001-07-11 Thread Drew Raines

* 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.

 hi there i setup qmail according to the directions on life with qmail and i
 seem to be having an odd difficulty my qmail -send and qmail-smtpd seem to
 be logging to stdout yet my qmailpop is logging to a file. the log files are

 the instructions on lifewithqmail any ideas i can post the run files whihc
 implement the logging if that might be helpful.

Don't be afraid to use periods in your paragraphs.  They consume some

$EXT from users/assign

2001-06-13 Thread Drew Raines

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.

vsm-style Maildir?

2001-03-20 Thread Drew Raines

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
