Quick question
I'm fairly new to qmail. I was a sendmail fan forever till I got bored and decided to switch to qmail. So far I love it. I started readin the lifewithmail homepage and decided to try it out. I've got everything installed and running but 1 thing puzzles me, I know it's probably a goofy question and please no harsh comments ;) but why so many process running as root? Here's my process list. I understand all of it except the first 5 process all running as root. I know this is probably some easy thing but I'm the paranoid type and it makes me curious.

I understand all of it except the first 5 qmail uses many more processes than sendmail, which is one monolithic programm, running as root. 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
Quick question re maildir
Hi all, Thanks for the great help from this group in the past. I plan to begin the migration process to qmail in the coming days and weeks, and as part of the planning process am wondering if the general consensus is that the maildir method is the way to go. Appreciate comments/advice. Cheers, Steve

weeks, and as part of the planning process am wondering if the general consensus is that the maildir method is the way to go. Appreciate comments/advice. Absolutely. Check the archives, there's alot of info there about the benefits of Maildirs. Recently, someone posted some excellent statistics on Maildir v. mbox. --joshua.

Appreciate comments/advice. Basically, the only reasons not to go to maildir are shell users who are set in their ways (and have been for years). Maildirs are incredibly easy to manipulate with shell or Perl or Python, more reliable than mailbox, and can be locked over NFS. Shell users will generally fall into the mutt or emacs camps; you should wean your Pine users anyway; you already know if you have a population of mh users. POP users will never notice the difference, except that when someone mails them a 400MB PowerPoint preso, you can ls their maildir, note the 400MB monstrosity, and delete it or move it for them without disturbing any other mail. -dsr-

quick question on queuing mails
guys, just a quick question. when qmail recieves mail, does it immediately try to send it out w/o putting it on the queue? or does it ALWAYS put it in the queue and have some other process pick it up for delivery? -marlon

It always goes in the queue. Consider what would happen if the system crashed half way thru a delivery that didn't go via the queue. The message would be lost and qmail promises not to lose messages.
