Relaying and /control/rcpthosts
Hi; I am trying to setup selective relaying for a client who wants to send email through our Qmail server from his office LAN. I allowed his office IP block in my /etc/tcp.smtp file as follows xxx.yyy.zzz.:allow,RELAYCLIENT="" . . . :allow This I assume this will let him relay as long as he comes from the IP address pool above regardles of what his email address is. But relay fails until I also put his domain in the /control/rcpthosts file! I don't want everybody in his domain to relay just him. How to do that? Thanks Dan

SMTP and POP3 connections take too long
Hi Folks; I have qmail-1.03 running on FreeBSB and one of the virtual domains for which we handle mail for is a small company with some users on a local NT network connected to the net by DSL. They are using a Netscream DSL router/firewall combo. Connections from clients to our SMTP/POP server take 25 - 50 Secs their firewall is configured to allow everything out and nothing in (some other NT integrator is doing this for them/to them) I went through our DNS zone files to find any problems but none (MX is pointing to our SMTP/POP server) connections get established but just takes too long. We host their web site and mail services they get DSL from Pacbell. Where else should I look for more clues obout this slow down if it is caused by our mailserver or how to speed things up. Dan

Web interface for POP administration
Hi Folks; I would like to give my virtual domain customers some administrative control over their pop accounts i.e add pop account, change password and delete pop account in their domain. Is there a tool out there that does this? I am running FreeBSD and am looking at Qmail/Maildir/qmail-pop3d setup to replace my sendmail box. My web server and mail server are two seperate machines the admin tools has to work across multiple machines. If anybody has done this kind of work before, I would like to hear from you. Thanks Dan

Migrating to Qmail, Maildir issues
Hi Folks; I just spent a day and half preparing my heavly used Sendmail mailserver to migrate to Qmail. Compiled and configured: -- Qmail-1.03 -- ucspi-tcp-0.88 -- fastforward-0.51 -- checkpassword-0.81 all the above tested OK (except checkpassword because Qmail is not running yet). Also I setup config files: ../control/rcpthosts (all my children) ../control/virtualdomains(My cousins and virtualdomains) ../control/defaulthost (Masquerading) ../control/locals(Me, myself and I) /etc/tcp.smtp (Few hosts allowed to relay) The BIG questions is that all the users are now using /var/mail format for mail delivery, some users don't have local account on the mail server (POP3 dialup users) the rest have local accounts/homedirs on the mailserver but still use /var/mail format. I want to convert all mail delivery format to ~user/Maildir but how can I do that for those users that aready use /var/mail delivery and don't have local homedirs? How do I make a transparent switch and have all user to confirm to ~user/Maildir format? I thought that I've masterd the beast, and now comes another switch! Thanks alot Dan
