Have there been any changes on the DNS setup for your system; i.e., your
nameservers. In my experience this has been the #1 cause of delays,
because email/qmail depends heavliy on DNS service. I have several
nameserver changeovers, and when things are not exactly kosher, qmail
grinds to a crawl.

Why do you want to put all the mail in /var/mail? The better solution in
qmail is to have the mail delivered to the user's home directory, and
better yet to have it delivered there in Maildir format.
I dunno about OpenBSD, but Linux has an /etc/skel directory, and things
there are replicated in

qmail uses no part of sendmail.
you can install qmail (as I have) on a system that has never had sendmale
on it at all.
You can easily configure your RedHat CD not to install sendmale at all, by
editing the "comps" file.

Hi-
qmail needs a non-world-writable location to place a user's email. If all
your users have /tmp as home, who owns /tmp/mbox???
You need to setup your user accounts properly with individual,
non-world-writabele home directories, or
use some other tool to locally deliver the mail.

The LWQ description of setting up pop3 for qmail only
says to put the tcpserver command in the qmail startup file.
Shouldn't this "service" be supervised by svscan? Why do the other qmail

Also, I am moving towards eliminating inetd, and have set up in.teln
You should read life with qmail, and use tcpserver rather than inetd or

I find it curious that they refer to sendmail as "shareware".
I though that shareware was software that one voluntarily paid for if they
used it after some "evaluation" period.

The POP daemon will only remove messages when told to do so by the user's

PGP is done entirely on the user's email program (MUA), not on qmail.
The message is encryted before and decrypted after qmail sees it. qmail
does not notice or care that it is an encrypted message.

and OS.
