Short summary: I screwed something up and bounced a lot of mail. It
seems to me that the mistake I made could be handled differently, and I'd
just like to explore it as an idea, see if it makes sense to anyone else.

Hi
Apology if this question has been asked a thousand time over.
We have been seeing that certain of our client using us as their
secondary mail server having problem dequeueing SOME mails.
It is just SOME and NOT all mails for those particular domains that
refuse to go down to them. It stays w
The syslog on my machine takes more resources than qmail in:

Is there a replacement for splogger that will log qmail's activity into
its own log so that I won't have to use syslog?
I also use tcpserver instead of in

Well, I successfully sent a message to an invalid address to eagle.co.nz.
I'd guess it was a wierd patch, too.

Hey Guys,
This is just driving me crazy and I've tried everything I know. I'm
getting Qmail setup on a new network. I've always used Qmail on the
same as my machine nameserver. This network, however, has a dedicated
name server and a dedicated mail machine.
I get the standard error:

Hello all and thanks in advance.
Heres my problem.
Mail seems to hang on all the clients sometime between lunch and 1:30. It
happens everyday. And it only seems to be e-mail. I can telnet to the port
locally and it seems fine. But from a remote system, no go. Any suggestions?

Hi, I`ve find out the problem, that made deliveries of local messages
impossible - since all the users has the ~ set as /tmp (they have only vsm pop3
accounts) qmail refuses to deliver messages ...
the [Q] is where do I tweak qmail sources for it to be more tolerant about this
matter?
I`ve checked
Things do not work quite as I expect.
Say I am MX for domain inside.dk (this is not a real name).
So, I put two lines into rcpthosts and HUP qmail-smtpd:
.inside.dk
inside.dk
Right?
Now mail to @inside.dk bounces:
