Forget tcpd and use ucspi-tcp (tcpserver) instead. It's in the FAQ how to
do it.

Use .qmail-default for user alias or a virtual domain with exceptions
through users/assign.

Set up an ezmlm(-idx) list on the qmail host. Send to the list address via
SMTP. That's it.

The best is to look at www.qmail.org. Look there for "Life with qmail".
There are also other useful resources.

You can use the -default extension vor any .qmail file. See 'man

Hmm. "An empty prepend means that domain is not a virtual domain" say the

Your cyclog seems to keep only 10 files. Either increase the generated
file size or the number of files for rotation or both.

I overlooked this line.
This means that the SMTP dialogue was already done and the timeout occured
during transmission of the message.

Just for your info:
after several weeks of problems with delivery to one of the large german
online services (T-Online) they reacted and created the next problem.
They now also (like AOL) exceed the 512Byte margin in DNS replies and
generate the well known "CNAME lookup failed temporarily".

I don't think the quota mechanism is a solution for this.
I would recommend to establish a policy that
a) allows any user to receive any big mail
b) ensures that the POP-storage doesn't fill up over time
All users must have accepted this policy

I wouldn't do it. It would help your users but confuse more people around
the world that cannot understand your localized bounce messages. Bounces
typically go to outside users.
In any case your users still get bounce messages from mailers all over the

Waiting for implementation in qmail, I set up my DNS for MXPS.
Now my question - does anybody (Dan?) already use this for QMTP?
I have not seen any connections to qmail-qmtpd yet but this may be because
of DNS caching.
