Given /etc/passwd and the user's home directory, how do you decide
whether an entry in /etc/passwd should receive mail? Look for a

Yes, in fact, the actual processing of the message was virtually
instantaneous... there was rarely more than 3 or 4 messages not yet
processed despite the fact that we were sending in over 100 messages per
second. I love raid :)
Right now, we've been doing tests sending out to servers inside the

Concurrencyremote was set to the default 20.
Once we finished that test, I increaeed it to 255. Then, each server
started receiving ~30 messages per second. That mean qmail is sending 150
messages per second. Memory usage is pretty

The next test we're going to do is to use it as a mail relay, relaying from
the message generator machines out to the net. For the short term, we are
going to run 4 separate qmails with 4 separate queues. Each instance will be

Someone in an earlier message (I appologize for not remembering who)
brought up the point that qmail lies about it size in memory because it
uses shared memory. He said that qmail-remote would take up about 76kb of

You don't necessarily need those rights. Maybe a maildir is used that
is owned by the user, or something like '|/usr/cyrus/bin/deliver $USER'.
Those are perfectly reasonable ways to deliver mail. If you don't
want users to be able to change their delivery rules, make a
users/assign that doesn't
Can you show us a a whole telnet session to port 110 ? (Do it as a regular
user).
How did you make the Maildir? Not as root for the regular user, I hope.
What is the output of
ls -lR ~/Maildir

BTWY, it seems that many (most?) people who set up qmail on their Linux
boxes think they
Well, part of qmail's philosophy is to give more control to the user (so the
admin is bothered less).
If you want to give part of the control back to root, use qmail-users.

can delete them. Try

I'm using wuftpd-vr17 as mentioned before. I tried proftpd, but it
would not chroot under solaris so I went back to wuftpd.
For me, it works. Sol. 2.5.1.

After some our client's Bare LF problem, I used fixcr according to DJB's
suggestion and I started qmail-smtpd process by using a command like this:
I'd suggest instead you simply patch Qmail.

I'm seeing the above error message in the log for my MS Mail gateway
(MailBeamer), but only for 1 particular message.

I've looked at Dan's explanation of the problem and I am aware of the
SMTP LF issue. My problem is why should this error occur just for 1

But I'm not sure I see where this is going. Qmail would never deliver

Make sure that the virtual domains are in the
