RE: queue keeping messages
Fixed. someone had forwarded postmaster to /dev/null and it didn't work so hundreds of snow white virus files were being dumped in the queue a day. They weren't expiring and were causing a vicious cycle of send, requeue, resend. So i redirected postmaster to an email address and all the stupid virus files went there and i deleted them. There is still a 3 minute delay in qmail when send a message to when you receive it. Is this normal? I'm used to sendmail where mail is more instantaneous. thanks, Karen -Original Message- From: Jeremy Anttila [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 20, 2001 4:14 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: FW: queue keeping messages -Original Message- From: Karen Cutrer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 20, 2001 3:56 PM To: Jeremy Anttila Subject: RE: queue keeping messages This is wierd.

If you did want to do this (not that it's a good idea), the proper way is `echo "#" ~alias/.qmail-postmaster`. There is still a 3 minute delay in qmail when send a message to when you receive it. Is this normal? I'm used to sendmail where mail is more instantaneous. Depends on how you're storing and retrieving mail. If NFS and POP3 are involved , check to make sure that the clocks of all the machines involved are in sync. qmail-pop3d apparently doesn't like to list mail from the future in its responses to the LIST command.
