Looks like someone's E-mail harvester isn't working quite right. Basically
someone harvested a bunch of Usenet message IDs, thinking that they were
E-mail addresses. Because stuff to the right of @ is my machine name, mail
addressed this way will be attempted a delivery here.
So, AOL's outgoing
Is not there a similar behavior in a tcprules file?

Question for the experts out there:
Qmail does not seem to support the ETRN function. Thus there is virtually
no way for a remote SMTP dialup server to connect ot the net and
emeediatelly request retrieval of the mails residing in the qmail queue for
that server. Is there any fisible solution t

Don't you get bounces this way? If it's going to be considered an error,
you'll just get a different boun

This should not matter. As long as a user has write access in their
Maildir, they can even delete root-owned files. I often insert a root-owned

Do the patches still allow mail to postmaster from anyone? Can't see any
mention of it on the page, it's a feature I think I'd like.

No, not really. It could have been any number of things. But on my
system, I'm currently running Apache, qmail, ssh, Kerberos, and an
anonymous ftp server, and of all of those things the packag

Due to the design of qmail-send, it's quite hard to report an erro

I've uploaded qmail-lint-0.50 to www.qmail.org. It checks for common
problems in your qmail control files. If you try it, and it prints
something you don't understand, or you think is not a problem, send me
email. Or if it misses a known problem, I'd also to hear about that
as well.

hello...
I am running qmail 1.01. I was having all the user's email go to a single
file called Mailbox. I've switched to a Maildir format. I am using the
tcpserver package for smtp delivery. I am running qmail-pop3d.
What I have noticed is the following lines in my syslog/message files:

Greetings.
Appended is a patch to qmail-1.03 that causes any program that would run
qmail-queue to look for an environment variable QMAILQUEUE. If it is
present, it is used in place of the string "bin/qmail-queue" when
running qmail-queue. This could be used, for example, to add a program

How can I move the syslog.mail file and make a new one safely?
The one I have is 62 MB and represents about 15% of our root partition.
Thanks in advance for any help on this :)

Read the manual pages for your syslog.
Appreciate the concern...my system is an IRIX 6.5 and here's the snippet
from man syslogd:
To bring syslogd down, send it a terminate signal (for example,
killall -TERM syslogd).
Thanks to all who responded!

Moderated how? About all I can think of is that the FAQ's and complaint
about "no multiple RCPT" could be removed. That doesn't strike me as all
that much of the traffic, although I may just be fooling
zeroseek is the database technology that will be used to store the queue
in qmail 2. In one day it can safely write tens of millions of separate
average-size messages to a single slow disk.
