2001-03-07 Thread Alex Povolotsky
Hello! I see strange problem with qmail: it tries to deliver mail to the first MX only. I've looked at FAQ, and RTFM on qmail-remote; nothing cleared. Before I'll dig myself into sources, tell me, is it a bug or a feature? Alex.

Problem with qmail+vpopmail and suggested fix

2001-02-12 Thread Alex Povolotsky
Hello! Imagine the following situation: there are 2 qmail+vpopmail servers; say, mail1 and mail2. user@mail1 have a mailbox and also copies all his mail to user@mail2, via some forwarding script. Eventually, user@mail2 goes over quota; the next message forwarded from user@mail1 gets bounced.

2000-06-20 Thread Alex Povolotsky
Hello! I am testing qmail performance under fairly heavy load, and I see that queue grows very fast. Increasing concurrencylocal did not help at all. I can post all needed setup details here or EMail to anyone who can help. Alex.

Under heavy load?

2000-06-05 Thread Alex Povolotsky
