I have installed the qmail and it's worked fine (finally ..!!) I create two virtual domain so I have two account like this : [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] How about if there's two different man with a same name , for example dave at test.local and the other is different people but with same name for example dave at cobalt.local How can I separate this two different man ? I've try send to [EMAIL PROTECTED] from [EMAIL PROTECTED] and vice versa, and the email was drop into the same Maildir, so [EMAIL PROTECTED] has the same password to login (check the email) with [EMAIL PROTECTED] I wonder if qmail can separatethe Maildir from this two virtual domain ? If it can, can you help me to make the different Maildir (and password) for the people who have the same name but in different domain ? thanks for your help
RE: Help wanted
Schagee, I've only just started playing with it, but squirrelmail has an awesome look and feel and seems to be extremly fast against courier-imapd. It runs under PHP4, is open-source, and ready to rock-and-roll. It took me all of about 2 minutes to install, configure, and run my first test. It loaded up my IMAP account (with over 80 folders and 30k messages) in less than 5 seconds. It's even faster on a more normal account.

Peter, Edward, Thanks for the input on this, I'll be playing with it more today. One important thing I forgot to mention in my last post, is that I'm only a MX for these domains, the customer runs his own server to handle the mail. Normally, I'd just set up an SMTP route to send all the mail to the customer's server, but they're running exchange, and for those who don't know, it's not fun to admin an exchange server when you have hundreds of users to configure to accept mail at dozens of domains (actually only 2 or 3, but still a pain).

Ok, the qmail faq says to put ``| forward $[EMAIL PROTECTED]'' into ~alias/.qmail-default, but that would appear to be for all domains, which I do not want to do. So, I put that line into ~vpopmail/domains/foo.com/.qmail-default, but that resulted in mail being forwarded to [EMAIL PROTECTED] How do I get around this?

RE: qmail-remote (cry wolf?)
Not being a programmer, I have no clue how to trace this, but if someone were able to help me, I'd be glad to give it a go. I'm on FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE at the moment, and will be updating again soon. Qmail is built with patches, a concurrency patch and the patches from the FreeBSD port. qmail-remote itself was not patched from 1.03. What I'm seeing on these stuck processes, is that they're in a state of 'sbwait' (as shown by top). netstat doesn't show any open connections to the remote hosts (smtp or otherwise). This problem doesn't seem to be related to the remote host, no matter the MTA. I've seen several stuck qmail-remote processes to a certain host, but scanning through logs shows that mail has been successfully sent to that same host on multiple occasions, both prior and after the stuck process was launched. This doesn't seem to be a networking problem. On one occasion, I had over 1500 messages queued up because the number of stuck qmail-remote processes ate up my concurrency limit. After clearing up the blockge, the box processed those 1500 messages in less than 30 minutes. However, it left behind another handfull of stuck qmail-remote processes. Other messages were undeliverable and left in the queue, and still others were sent back to sender with permanent errors. Logs are intact. There's a start of delivery entry, but if qmail-remote gets stuck, there is no further reference to those messages. Yes, I can read the messages in the queue. They are intact and appear to be properly formatted. There is no proxy server or firewall between this box and the rest of the Internet. Only a Cisco 2924 switch, a 3640 router and a T1 ride out to ATT or Sprint. I hope all this information helps. Anyone should feel free to ask for more details, but please be specific in the information you need.

Absolutely nothing in the logs. Hardware is fine, all other processes are working flawlessly.

RE: Qmail-remote stopped up?
Jorgen, Thanks for the input. Out of 10k+ messages per day, only 5-6 qmail-remote processes get stuck per week. To date, I've not been able to identify any consistancy among message size, composition, or remote mail server. It appears to be fairly random. Network connectivity is fine, the vast majority of mail comes and goes as quickly as you please, I'm also doing backup MX for a couple other networks without problem. Internet connectivity is good as well, I'm multihomed between Sprint and ATT and utilize 100MB Ethernet between the mail server and router (fxp 2924 3640 world). RAM is also fine.
