I know this is quite simple; I found a decent howto on Google's cache (the original not being available) some time ago and it worked perfectly. It covered everything I needed, installing qmail and it's required programs, creating pppdir, ip-up.local etc. Frankly looking at the LDP HOWTO is worse than useless.

serialmail
Since the serialmail list doesn't appear to have a lot of traffic, I wonder if anyone can point me in the direction of an archive. -- I'm Keyser Soze...No, I'm Keyser Soze. I'm Keyser Soze and so's my wife! (Monty Python play The Usual Suspects.)
AutoTURN / Hello protocol
This may not be the best place to ask, but I'm looking for more info on AutoTURN and the hello protocol. I have two machines, west my mailhub, and east, a workstation. west gets external mail and puts it into a maildir in /var/qmail/autoturn. On east, I use fetchmail to poll west and forward the mail. I use proto etrn in the .fetchmailrc even though it isn't supported by the qmail server on west. It exits with a client/server protocol error, but the mail is transferred ok from west to east. However, I'd like something a bit more elegant. This hello protocol mention in djb's documentation, looks interesting, but isn't a standard service on my Slackware 7.1 box. I've done a search on google, but it only brings up a bare description of the protocol and it's service no. If someone could give me a clearer idea of what's needed, I'd be grateful. -- I'm Keyser Soze...No, I'm Keyser Soze. I'm Keyser Soze and so's my wife! (Monty Python play The Usual Suspects.)
maildirsmtp interruption
I'm using maildirsmtp to route my outgoing mail through my ISP. Recently, I've had problems when the connection has died, mid-transmission. The mail is no longer in the /var/qmail/alias/pppdir maildir, all I have is the processes running, e.g. /usr/local/bin/maildirserial -b -t 1209600 -- /var/qm 1389 ttyp1S 0:00 /usr/local/bin/maildirserial -b -t 1209600 -- /var/qm 1390 ttyp1S 0:00 /usr/local/bin/serialsmtp alias-ppp- west Is there any way I can restart the send when the connection comes back up, or do I have to kill the processes and restart the whole procedure (i.e. re-compose and send the interrupted messages.) -- I'm Keyser Soze...No, I'm Keyser Soze.

Autoturn
I've qmail running on a two machines acting as a small network. One machine operates as a hub downloading the mail for the the domain from my ISP. The other is more of a workstation and is not connected permanently to the hub. I've set up autoturn according to the instructions in the serialmail package, although I wasn't quite sure about replacing the /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd invocation. I used Dave Sill's Life with Qmail, so I put the following in /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run #!/bin/sh QMAILDUID=1002 NOFILESGID=102 exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 200 \ /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -p -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c 5 \ -u $QMAILDUID -g $NOFILESGID 0 smtp sh -c ' /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd cd /var/qmail/autoturn exec setlock -nx $TCPREMOTEIP/seriallock \ maildirsmtp $TCPREMOTEIP autoturn-$TCPREMOTEIP- \ $TCPREMOTEIP AutoTURN ' 21 Is this ok? If so, what now do I need to do on the workstation side to trigger the maildirsmtp from the hub? -- I'm Keyser Soze...No, I'm Keyser Soze. I'm Keyser Soze and so's my wife!

Svscan
I'm running qmail following the instructions in Life with Qmail. Now, I'm looking at replacing BIND with djbns. However, I'm stuck when at the first hurdle - daemontools. I've created the /service directory with the necessary permissions and added on one line SV:123456:respawn:env - PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin svscan /service /dev/null /dev/console 2/dev/console into /etc/inittab. (I'm running Slackware 7.1 if this makes any difference.) However, having HUPped init, there's no new svscan running. I say new because there is an svscan running the qmail programs. Can I run two svscans, or is there a conflict there? If so, what's the best way to reconcile the /var/qmail/supervise and /service directories. -- I'm Keyser Soze...No, I'm Keyser Soze.
