Hi! Thanks for your advise! I will try it out!
This solution looks promising! :)

Hi all,
I'm trying to configure qmail to use virtual

works fine.
The problem is we want that qmail substitute

via pop3. With Windows NT the server has a IP for each

Not really ;-)
Do (as root):

In my company we are trying to achieve header rewriting of outgoing mails,

Just a quickie.
Does qmail use resolv.conf to to its DNS lookups? If not, then what's
the process?

It does - at least it has to know what the nameserver's IP is! (It
doesn't use /etc/hosts etc. but that's a different fairy-tale.)

This is almost certainly the missing '.' line required at the end. I

There is something very wrong here. Cat'ing two blocks of data should
take milliseconds. Are you out of memory (does vmstat show paging?)?
When your cat is << .1 seconds or so then rerun your tests. Wait a
minute, did you run the cat WHILE you were trying to do the deliveries?
If so, then that is

I though he mentioned that he ran it 1000 times and thus the numbers reflect
