 This is the problem.  I don't think there's an easy way to do this. 

You are missing the obvious solution: use two qmail instances on this box.
The first one is used for receiving all mails from external and has the
domains in locals/virtualhosts and locals. The second one only has its own
hostname in locals and rcpthosts and is _only_ used to relay messages from
own clients/customers/whatever to the world. The world could include the
secoand qmail instance on this box.

I'm doing similar things, though for totally different reasons: I seperate
customer relaying and MX. Different queues, different settings (databytes
for example; SMTP AUTH offering and so on), and a hacked qmail-ldap cluster
support to prevent in-cluster deliveries inside one box (but delivering
directly to the maildirs instead).

 I have never checked, but I wonder whether the qmail-ldap guys have

No. You need to forget aboy some qmail stuff when using qmail-ldap. We just
have user accounts and assigned mail addresses. VEry straightforward. A
simple (simplyfied) user entry looks like

dn: cn=brahe, ou=intern, dc=bsws, dc=de
cn: brahe
userPassword: {crypt}censored
uid: brahe
mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
mailAlternateAddress: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
mailAlternateAddress: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

and so on.
Basically, in qmail-lspawn a search using the filter
(|(mail=address)(mailalternateaddress=address))
is done, where address is the full rcpt address.

For auth'ing the uid and userPassword attributes count. There is no need in
qmail-ldap to distinguisch between local part and domain part in an address,
and there is no relation between email addresses and uids except that they
belong to an user account.

Surely not. There are at least kernel level limits, if memory serves me

Works fine with OpenLDAP and iPlanet Directory server. Looks more like IBM's

 hence we 
 were seraching if any one has faced/fixed this problem ...

Use a working LDAP server.

Really looks like you are hitting ressource limits. Check ulimit -a for the

processes and file descriptors if memory serves me right.

   Read what I wrote again. It IS qmail's fault. One role I use qmail
 for is to accept mail which is then passed on to an exchange server on the
 same network. Here's an example of what can happen ...
   If the exchange server goes down, a large queue builds up. The
 exchange server accepts something like 20 concurrent connections before
 refusing to accept connections. This, as you say, is what the server should
 do. 
   When the exchange server comes back up, I kick the qmail-send
 process to get it to deliver the queue. At this point I should be able to go
 off and do other things.

If you would simply qmail let do its job this would not have been happening.
Just do nothing. qmail's backoff algorithm would not deliver all messages at
once if you hadn't send a SIGALRM to qmail-send.

 That's not true. I've been using a roll-my-own single UID setup for ages, with
 no vpopmail or vmailmgr or anything but a custom checkpassword. It works
 beautifully and I don't have to worry about the security of non-DJB code
 (except for the cdb-enabled checkpassword, which I wrote myself).

Well, the bunch of .qmail-anything files and your custom checkpassword are
your virtual user manager than ;-))

 For someone with a small set of domains and a user base that doesn't change
 that often, I'd recommend a single-UID setup. It'll be more secure, and it'll
 give him a better understanding of how all the pieces of qmail work.

I agree regarding the understanding, I don't agree regarding the security. A
setup containing of tons of .qmail-anything files and custom checkpassword;
where the checkpassword input file and the .qmail-files must be in sync is a 
bit complicated and a hell to manage, no? It may work for a few users, but with
more users... it just gets to complicated. And complicated setups aren't
secure usually, simply because the complexity causes the admin to make faults.
On the other hand, vmailmgr and vpopmail aren't network daemons, which
lowers their security risk a lot. vpopmail seems to be a bit bloated to me
(this may be totally wrong, I never used it, it's just my impression from some
mails regarding vpopmail on this list), but vmailmgr seems to be fine (I'm
mostly trusting Charles selection here ;-) ). qmail-ldap's way of handling
virtual users is really straightforward and I don't have any security
considerations there.

You cannot. qmail-remote doesn't use a specified IP address for sending

WRONG.
This is true for qmail-local/qmail-remote, but not for the queue manager
qmail-send.

 and in future, please write text/plain and not text/html

ACK.

And you... well, I'd not answer questions here if I am not sure. No offense
intended, it just confuses.

For the original question:
1 qmail-send - 1 queue

You can install more than one qmail instace per machine, e. g. in
/var/qmail/1/, 2/ and so on. Change conf-home and make setup check for each
instance. You have multiple queues then and must find a solution to balance
the load between them.

 How on earth is FrontPage relevant?  Why is a pseudo-HTML-editor trying to
 send mail?  And unless I'm mistaken, FrontPage doesn't run on Unix, so it can
 hardly be calling qmail-inject.

I totally second your frontpage opinion, but the frontpage server extensions
do run on Unix. And they have in fact a possibility to send mail, this needs 
to be configured somewhere (frontpage.cnf? don't remember it).

 Hello,
 
 I'm trying to get an email server up using qmail (using ./Maildir/) and it
 seems to work quite well so far but now what is going wrong:
 
 Whenever I send an email to an unknown user the log states: defferal:
 Home_directory_is_sticky:_user_is_editing_his_.qmail_file.

chmod -t $dir_in_question

That's the problem, qmail-send isn't even running.

  qmial-start ./Maildir/
 alert: cannot start: unable to open mutex

Go back to your source dir and type make setup check again, this dhould
fix it. sounds like you messed up some permissions or so.

 does RH7 have buggy packages :)

About 2500, yes.

  Actually you can run frontpage on Unix with Apache. I know, we do

 Works better than the Windows Frontpage servers. 
 also, there are still security issues with child webs in linux/apache 
 environments - all such security issues can be resolved in an m$ iis 
 environment (with application of the current corrections, patches, fixes 
 and updates

This is faar OT now.
There is another patch for Apache out that is much better than the M$ one,
so only their binary is used (in BSDi emulation on OpenBSD in our case), but
not their buggy apache modifications.
After all, this setup _is_ secure. In contrast to NT4/w2k.

I suggest we move this discussion off-list now...

Put the domain(s) in question into /var/qmail/rcpthosts and nowhere else as

Try using the correct list. This is qmail, not vmailmgr.

Re: qmail-ldap questions

 I'm trying to head towards a setup with:
 qmail/qmail-pop3/courier-imap/vmailmgr/ldap/squirrelmail

makes no sense IMHO tun run qmailp-ldap AND vmailmgr.

 (1) I've been going over the life with qmail-ldap documentation and would 
 like to know if I am assuming correctly that this documentation assumes that 
 for the Linux 7.0 host:

Well, that depends. I've written this document without any respect to a
special OS (but be sure it's always accurate for OpenBSD ;-) )

 1) openssl-0.9.5a-14 is installed

If you enable SSL, yes, of course.

 2) krb5-libs-1.2.1-0 is installed (but no Kerberos server in stalled)

no

 3) cyrus-sasl-1.5.24-6 is installed

no

 4) db-3.2.9 (Berkeley DB) is installed

no

 5) openldap.2.0.11 is installed

no. just ldap client libs. You'll need an ldap server of course...

 (2) In particular, I am trying to make sure that I am not expected to set up 
 a Kerberos master/slave server environment to make qmail-ldap work.

You don't need Kerberos for qmail-ldap. It's qmail-ldap, not qmail-kerberos...

 (3) I am confused about the authorizations. I don't understand if 
 qmail-pop3d will continue to use checkvpw after qmail-ldap.

qmail-pop3d itself is no program. qmail-ldap's auth_pop replaces
checkpassword (or checkvpw in your example)

 (4) I don't understand how the virtual domains and the FQDN name of the 
 physical host are stored in the LDAP.

No need for Virtual Domains in qmail-ldap. There are just users having email
addresses. the servers FQDN isn't stored in LDAP. Just user records are in
LDAP.

 (5) Should I be trying to start ldap with the new /service method 
 recommended by Life with Qmail?

You shoud not try anything else...

 (6) I am using the following scripts at present (no ldap install done yet). 
 I'm still not sure how these scripts will change or what the effect is on 
 vmailmgr.

/usr/local/bin/rblsmtpd -b -rblackholes.mail-abuse.org \
 -rmail.services.net \
  /usr/local/bin/fixcrio /home/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 21

qnail-ldap has builtin rbl support.

 
 /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3d/run
 #!/bin/sh
 exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 200 \
 /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -H -P -R -l 0 -u0 -g0 0 110 \
 /home/qmail/bin/qmail-popup FQDN \
   /usr/local/bin/checkvpw /home/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 21
