Re: load balancing two qmail servers using nfs

[steve j. kondik]

you might consider using rsync to sync your conffiles, instead of
sharing them over nfs.  this would eliminate alot of problems
and latency i'd think.

Re: qmail/sshd question

[steve j. kondik]

easy, i just disabled sshd's mailcheck and made a little script to check the
output of `ls ~/Maildir/new` and called it from /etc/profile.  Not very
elegant and not exactly what I wanted, but it works.

if there is a patch for sshd i'd still like to know ;>

qmail/sshd question

[steve j. kondik]

thanks for the help with my last question, now i have another simple
question.. couldn't find any info about this but im sure its been done many
times.  ssh is the only way for users to access my system, now what would be
the best way to have sshd check the users mail upon initial login?  it seems
to only want to check /var/spool/mail and im using Maildirs.

thanks in advance,

question about ip hosts and virtual hosts

[steve j. kondik]

i've scoured the documentation and haven't figured out how to do this yet..
here is my situation..

my box has several ips, lets say domain1.com and domain2.com as well as some
normal vpops, which work fine.  now here is the problem, mail for
[EMAIL PROTECTED] should go to user1 and mail for [EMAIL PROTECTED]
should go to user2, now, both domain1 and domain2 are on the same box, using
ip aliasing and all the users who recieve mail for these 2 domains have real
shells on the box.  is this possible without running multiple instances of qmail
for each ip?

this is probably easy, im just missing something here.

thanks in advance,
-steve
