The qmail list is helpful to an extreme, if you are pulling your weight. They have zero tolerance for admins who expect people to just give me the answer. Likely the answer you need is in the below link. http://www.lifewithqmail.org/ If you must ask for help, read the link below FIRST! http://pyropus.ca/personal/writings/12-steps-to-qmail-list-bliss.html DAve

I'm getting flooded by mail coming from places I shouldn't be getting mail from! Please this isn't the list for yet another qmail vs postfix flame war. I've seen to many. For a good place with a lot of usefull support look at the qmail mailinglist qmail@list.cr.yp.to see also http://qmail.org/top.html and for the latest version http://qmail.org/netqmail-1.05.tar.gz 192.168.1.:deny 192.168.2.1:deny will kill all traffic from 192.168.1.0/24 and 192.168.2.1/32 For the qmail mailinglist don't use qmailrocks but lifewithqmail.org qmailrocks will give you a qmail install with a lot of stuff you don't need like so many other mailserver software.

All have their place. qmail works quite well with spamc and there are several ways to use the two together. I would argue there are more ways to combine spamc and qmail than any other mailserver.

RE: Qmail question..
Thanks for the tips! I had no intention of starting any type of debate.. Was simply looking for help. I'm a Microsoft guy who uses Linux as a tool, a tool that frustrates me to no end, yet I won't stoop to calling it names or comparing this vs. that.. Each has their place, and neither is perfect... And I use both! I am just not as literate in Linux as I'd like to be and/or should be.. But find me some time and I could remedy that! Now back to my IIS Server SSL issues (Hey, I just work here..).. Thanks again for the tips! And advice was duly noted.. -Original Message- From: Arvinn Løkkebakken [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 08, 2005 9:34 AM To: users@spamassassin.apache.org Subject: Re: Qmail question..

We're all posting to an english mailing list. I take offense when people say things like qmail is dead. Especially as a response to someone that was kindly asking if anyone knew of a forum for qmail. The OP wasnt asking for opinions on what software to use. It was clearly a troll which is why i reacted the way i did. Oh, and btw, you're still using the old SA incubator list address. -Jim

Arvinn Hi, it seems that version numbers are of relative merit in a non-commercial software, where there is no need to tell users (we have just jumped from 7 to 9, while our main competitor still is at 7.5) I recall that may years ago a mathematician and software writer decided to use E and PI for version numbers, just adding one decimal place after the other and avoiding that silly jump of version numbers altogether As an active qmail user, I would sayit cannot be dead because otherweise there would not be support for new stuff, e.g. domainkeys.

Choose the best tool for the job. DAve I of course agree that one should choose the best tool for the job and Qmail has been a great tool for years. I have glanced at the doc for Exim earlier and it looks like a very good alternative. Same goes for Courier MTA. I've been operating Qmail for some years and found it to fullfill most needs untill I experienced that the gap between available functions between my Postfix installation and Qmail installation just kept getting bigger. I don't enjoy using third-party patches and from experience I wouldn't recommend a self-claimed rookie to depend on third-party patches either. Standard Qmail lacks one must-have feature which is desent before-queue recipient validation. AUTH, STARTTLS/SSL and ldap/sql lookups support (the list goes on) isn't must-have features but I would certainly miss it if I picked up standard Qmail again. http://www.postfix.org/documentation.html is a very fine place to start if you are a rookie and need documentation and help for installation. I should have included that URL in my first post. If you are an experienced unix admin and postmaster you can make Qmail do anything (including the things I mentioned above) but I think a newcommer would appreciate to start with a product with more of these as out-of-the-box features. I feel like a newcommer myself and by using a more up to date software I really appreciate the fact that I don't have to inspect every patch to see if it is compatible with all the other user contributed patches I would choose to use with Qmail. I am not a troll, and people on the list claiming I am one (straight out or by beeing sarcastic), will not be replied to by me. Arvinn
