Our queue is growing due to failed smtp connections. There are two main reasons:
(1) there is an smtp server but it's refusing us to connect to it, and (2) the
domain has no smtp server to connect to. See below for examples. The queue keeps
growing and syslog is reporting a lot of

by hours just because of these failed connections. It's

Actually, I just tried modifying /var/qmail/control/me to read

I am looking for some information on how frequently does qmail retry to
send a message, locally or remotely, and when it gives up and bounces it
back to the sender. So far I've found an excellent source in Dave Sill's
document "Life with qmail" (App. E ) but he only mentions the remote
retry
I couldn't find it in the man pages, so is there a way to log failed
connections with tcpserver? (ie. connections which are defined as
illegal in the tcprules data file)
TIA,

I know I've read this sometime in the past but I forgot where and how to
sort it out.
The problem is that for each delivery, qmail generates duplicate logs
and when I say duplicate logs I mean everything is duplicated:

As a first try, you could try to present a valid message to

Either I've totally misunderstood your question or else I think you have
misunderstood what /etc/inetd.conf is for. inetd is a daemon listening
for incoming connections from a user on all the ports listed in the

I've search through the qmail website and mailing list, but only grown

Which is the best of inetd, tcpserver and xinetd if you consider

Any other alternatives apart from these?
...or to turn the question around:
Does qmail (1.00) execute any code on the stack?

Your mailbox is either in ~user/Mailbox or /var/spool/mail/user or
~user/Maildir/ (the latter being a directory structure). Depends how you
configured qmail.
