It seems like it belongs in something like alt.sex.discussion., or the like. This is just downright offensive, and tiring. I feel as though I'm in middle school listening to the jocks. Everyone has to get thier word in (hey, look, I'm guilty too). Pride is an evil, evil thing, and looks to be something most of you need to get over. Robin, a few questions: Did your parents berate/abuse you as a child (perhaps they called it rough justice to quote a post by you later)? Or perhaps you were spoiled monetarily, yet ignored. Did the other school children look down upon you? Do you need anti depressives? I only ask these questions because of my background of misguided schooling in mental issues (thank god I changed my major to CS, mental health is too depressing), and have seen many many a case study. I know this list gets quite a lot of mail, but perhaps it would be best moderated, with a few choice moderators that are kind, who believe in humility, not anger. This would also stop all of the childish talk of fornication with blow up creatures. Another side note, I'm not sure about the qmail-newbies idea. The issue is that it WOULD go ignored and who is to prevent "newbies" from posting to this list? Now please excuse me while I bow out. -- Eric Garff MyComputer.com System Admin Our Tools. Your Site.

Tired of this virus
I am using qmail-scanner, and it has been effectively blocking this virus, although I'm tired of recieving the notifications about it (at least 2-5 daily), yet I don't want to disable the mail me feature just for this one virus. Aside from setting up a filter in my MUA to delete these, I would prefer to block it on the qmail side before it reaches the qmail-scanner program. Here is the header, it's all sorts of messed up and they all come from different IP's (I think it's being spoofed), and I've already attempted blocking it in the badmailfrom file as anything from sexyfun.net: Received: from ol53-251.openlink.com.br (HELO v5o0d0) (200.188.53.251) by ns1.mycomputer.com with SMTP; 15 Nov 2000 17:30:50 - From: Hahaha <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Branca de Neve pornô!

This will be my last email on this, since "I hate to rant", but not liking to, and not refusing to are two different things.

That's why there is documentation at all!

Re-reading my original email to verify, I discovered that I had said the same exact thing, that being "...The fact of the matter is that there is SO much information available to the qmail community and it's not well organized...".

Re: Dots in .qmail-names
I hate to rant, and I know that the it says to read the FAQ and documentation, etc., before posting, but wouldn't it have been easier than writing the complete response to just give him the answer, and even if you didn't know the answer, not comment at all and let someone who does, give the answer. It's so much easier than the "treat someone like an idiot and tell them to RTFM" approach. Someone asks in ignorance and you smack him down. The fact of the matter is that there is SO much information available to the qmail community and it's not well organized, I'm surprised we don't see more of these questions. It's a known flaw to open source (ok, so this is flame bait, but it's true, and I support open source).

pop3 question
I know this may be a stupid question, but I cannot access the qmail home page at the moment, so I figured I'd ask. I'm setting up a new server using qmail-pop3d, previously I used qmail with the "standard" ipop3d binary. I'm running into a dilemma, I have it almost completely setup, but I get this notification when I try to verify it works: Escape character is '^]'. +OK <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> user -ERR syntax error user egarff +OK pass -ERR this user has no $HOME/Maildir Connection closed by foreign host. I thought that qmail used default "Mailbox" instead of Maildir, here is my inetd.conf entry: pop3stream tcp nowait root/var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup qmail-popup /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Mailbox all on one line. Any ideas? Thanks, -- Eric Garff MyComputer.com System Admin Our Tools. Your Site. Just remember, if the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off. --
Re: Qmail not logging to the maillog..
I also have the same issue. My syslog.conf has the entry "mail.*" and my rc file is as follows: -- #!/bin/sh # Using splogger to send the log through syslog. # Using qmail-local to deliver messages to ~/Mailbox by default. exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" TZ=PST8PDT \ qmail-start ./Mailbox splogger qmail -- I really do need to find out some information from my maillog due to some list issues we are having, any help is appreciated.
