It has userdefinable attechment filters, and can operate an commercial virus scanner for mime attachments. you have to apply the qmailqueue patch, and define a QMAILQUEUE variable in your smtp startup script. qmail-scanner is very nice, i use it myself to protect those windooze computers in my network. > Secondly, some clients are sending a mail with 1000 cc > or bcc to my local users.

If you look at your "ps aux" a little more exactly, you will see that only supervise processes and qmail-lspawn run as root. supervise processes do nothing more than just "guard" a service, and restart them if they die. have a look at supervise.c in the daemontools directory. qmail-lspawn does just invoke qmail-local's with the respective UID/GID of the receiver. this is, why this programm need's root right. You see, there are more processes, because qmail is more modular, and splitted into different processes, for more security. -- Lukas Beeler<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GPG Fingerprint: 8030 1C2F 66C5 9D80 AA31 6604 7D4D 0A67 68D8 B67E

RE: Help with Installation
sendmail uses mbox delivery to /var/spool/mail qmail must be specially configured to use this delivery method [as in lwq described, use the ./Mailbox delivery method and symlink them all to /var/spool/mail/] nice job with 2000 users :) now, there is a second question: do your users use just imap to get their mail, or log they on the server to get it with a MUA like pine ? in first case, it would be much better if you use the ./Maildir/ method and courier imap > -Original Message- > From: Cordell Bourne [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, June 25, 2001 7:59 PM > To: Lukas Beeler > Subject: Re: Help with Installation > > > > > Lukas Beeler wrote: > > > > -Original Message- > > > From: Cordell Bourne [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > > Sent: Monday, June 25, 2001 7:39 PM > > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > Subject: Help with Installation > > > > > > > > > I have followed the directions in the Life with Qmail doc for > > > installing Qmail > > > and all appears to be working expcept that I can't get mail > > > into my INBOX. > > > > > which delivery type do you use ? > > What ever is standard with a typical Sun OS 5.7 installation > with sendmail. > > How can I tell what format I was using with sendmail.

Maildir ? mbox in $HOME ? mbox in /var/spool/mail ? most current mail things do not support Maildir, which is the best of the delivery methods [i think :)] probably you should use the mbox format in /var/spool/mail for full sendmail compatibility in this case probably you want install the .forward packet, to make the switch more transparent to the user
