I am getting lots of stuck messages in one queue headed for another
machine on our network. I can telnet to the receiving machine's port 25

machines queue just stays there.

Here is a simple program I wrote that pipes email messages to a news
server. We are testing out the idea of concurrent qmail aliases and
local news groups and this program has been very useful. I have added the
following to a .qmail alias file:
| /usr/local/bin/q2news.pl NEWS.SERVER.HERE NEWS.GR
I have written a perl script using the NNTPClient module that forwards
from a .qmail-alias to a local newsgroup. The script work fine, but I
would like some help to see if I can get the header info removed from the
top of each message as it appears in the forwarded posting.
Also, if there is in

We recently sent mail to another school and received what I call a
"mini-bounce" that follows. It doesn't look like they're using qmail but
is there a qmail equivalent of this that we could install on our server?

What I would do is monitor the queue using qmail-qstat or one of the other
utilities like it. Perhaps a good idea would be to check for a number of
messages you think is too high, and if the queue has the same or greater
messages within x timeframe then send the page.
Can you share some of the
Yes, I have .qmail set as:

where Qvacation is your program...so I understand this to mean a 30 second

Ok here's a quick hack, but it works...
Follow these steps:
1. copy the code below to a file and make it 755.
2. add the full path and name of file to your .qmail
ex:

3. make sure you change the variables for $file and $which_sender to your
desired
How about a filter recipe that takes all mail from one person and writes
it to a separate filerather than (or in addition) to the regular
mbox location. I'm using qmail 1.01.

We had the "other" vacation working under IRIX 5.3 but since we have moved

the Peter Samuel vacation manuals, but can't make the old one work again.
chown alias to the output file made a big difference after a few edits to
the script in the .qmail-alias file. All is well (on this one!)

How can I move the syslog.mail file and make a new one safely?
The one I have is 62 MB and represents about 15% of our root partition.

Ok here's a variation on this question:
Can message be deleted by user name instread of msg ID#?
For example, qmail-qread gives me lots of mail stuck in our queue for the
following two folks (who seemed to have abandoned ship before
unsubscribing to one of our lists...)

I have check the .qmail file and all are as such;
/var/mail/bronwen
/var/mail/amach
/var/mail/hannaht
The link from /var/mail to /usr/mail looks like this (and is delivering
for about one thousand other people correctly :)

Hello:
We are experiencing a wierd loss of mail files. Some users check their
mail and then the entire file is deleted.
Usually, if they read and delete mail or use a POP client and download
their mail, the file exists, but it is size = 0. But in this case its just
gone. Whats more is that qma
, but hopefully they'll
work as well.
Thanks for all the help everyone :)

I have a few users who use BSD mail. I have the sendmail wrapper setup so

the problem is that when they use 'r' reply or 'ra' reply to all, that an
