Thanks for your reply Francis, I need two servers because I don't want all my users to bow down my server with their outgoing emails, right now they use their ISP outgoing servers and I am scared of telling them to use mine. I wanted to only run xmail smtp's service on that second server, what solutions I have then?

I'm pretty sure the XMail binary is where it should be=20
(/var/MailRoot/bin), because it works when
I run it under the test mode suggested in the xmail handbook=20
(the actual lines that work are
mentioned below). I may have set something wrong in the=20
startup script or in /etc/conf.d/xmail/.
Here's my conf.d/xmail:
#CHROOT=3D/chroot/xmail
CHROOT=3D/var/MailRoot/xmail
MAIL_ROOT=3D/var/MailRoot
export CHROOT MAIL_ROOT
# variables for simplicity sake
MAIL_NAME=3DXMail
MAIL_EXEC=3D/var/MailRoot/bin/$MAIL_NAME
MAIL_PID=3D/var/run/$MAIL_NAME.pid
# set your options here
MY_SMTP=3D29025

MAIL_CMD_LINE=3D -Pl -Pp $MY_POP3 -Sl -Sp $MY_SMTP -Ql -Fl -Fp=20

And what is the startup script content ?

[xmail] Re: SMTP auth on another server
OK, I see, even if I don't think that using only one server will 'bow down' it. I use only one xmail server for more than 500 users, and never had problems with xmail and the server usage. The Internet available bandwidth is more likely the problem :) But I will give you some possibilities : first option : For the second 'sending only' server, create only one mailbox account that will be used as the login/pass for auth. Eventualy, if you have multiple different branches/companies/services and want to have some log for them, create one 'sending only' mailbox per branche/companie/service. second option : schedule (or manualy started at each user or domain change in primary server) an script that will : - stop the two xmail services on each server - copy from primary to second 'send only' : mailroot files : domains.tab, mailusers.tab mailroot domains sub-dir : complete structure and files (except mailbox contents not needed on second 'send only' server) - before restarting the second server, delete its mailroot\tabindex sub-dir content (the indexes will be recreated from new tab files) - restart the two xmail services (it could be possible to not stop at all the primary server, but you need to be sure that non xmail domain/account is changed when this script run, to avoid bad contents :) ) third option 'the best' :) : create at script that enumerate the domain and accounts of first server (preferred method is from xmail ctrl interface or ctrlclnt tool) and create missing domains accounts/delete no more present domains accounts on second server. You can then schedule it on regular basis on start it manually when dom/accounts changes on first server. I remind that a 'sync' script was written for 'mx backups', that could be adapted to do only this create/delete 'sync' between the two servers (it does many other thinks) but was written for win platforms in vb.net. If you want to try 'mono' (Net Framework implementation for linux/bsd) you could adapt it. Or you could just have a look on its code to seen what it does.

[xmail] Re: Help with Gentoo install
I'm not a chroot specialist, but your problem should be at least in the bad paths in the various env vars found on conf.d/xmail (CHROOT, ...). I think you could refer to this excelent paper from Sergey Ivanov : http://www.spectr.org/~seriv/HowTo-Chrooted-XMail.html You will find detailled instructions to run xmail in chroot mode on Gentoo :) And better, directly use the ebuild for xmail in Gentoo portage. It will install xmail 'chrooted' on Gentoo (use same technics from the 'paper') Francis - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe xmail in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line help in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
