Re: no shell for qmail user (qmails, qmaill,...)
if you are looking for a solution with only one entry in /etc/passwd you can use vpopmail (http://www.vpopmail.cx) - 1 entry in /etc/passwd - everything runs under a single UID/GID - Support for Oracle, Sybase, Mysql, LDAP, /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow and default cdb authentication storage etc. for more features, have a look at their page. cya Joel

the qmail queue

/remote
/info
/bounce)
Have a look at:

How can I delete a lot of spam mail from the qmail queue?

Take a look at qmhandle:
http://www.io.com/~mick/soft/qmhandle.html
Don't forget to stop qmail before you mess around in the queue.
An alternative that I've used successfully is to
1) Stop qmail, qmail-smtpd and anything else that might try to deliver
messages - leave qmail-pop3d, then at least users can get their
existing mail.
2) Delete the offending messages from the /var/qmail/queue/mess
directories with something like:
find /var/qmail/queue/mess -type f -exec grep "^Subject: Want a
University Diploma" {} \; -print -exec rm {} \;
3) run queue-fix to clean up the appropriate related files in todo,
intd etc.
4) restart qmail.
qmhandle requires individual message numbers to delete messages. When
you have 100,000 messages, this is impractical! queue-fix is written by
Eric Huss, and is available at
http://www.netmeridian.com/e-huss/queue-fix.tar.gz
It's also worth knowing that the find command will still potentially
take hours to delete all that junk - be prepared for some phonecalls!

strange problem with SMTP connection to gmx.net
I had a strange problem with mails to gmx.net today. Every message to gmx.net got this error: deferral: Sorry,_I_wasn't_able_to_establish_an_SMTP_connection._(#4.4.1)/ I tried to do kill -ALRM [pid of qmail-send here] but I always got the same error... but I was able to telnet the (very slow) gmx mail server (mx0.gmx.net). I didn't knew any solutions... so I restarted my system ;( after that I did the kill -ALRM [pid of qmail-send here] again... and it worked! but 20% of the mails to gmx.net still had this deferral: Sorry,_I_wasn't_able_to_establish_an_SMTP_connection._(#4.4.1)/ error... I restarted again... kill -ALRM [pid of qmail-send here] again.. now it worked! anybody already had the same problem? or know what the problem was? thanks for answers! cya Joel
