smtproutes. I've been thinking about changing it from smtp to qmtp too,
since qmtp seems to be made for this kind of thing, but I haven't had the
time.

I'm probably going to have to scale our mail system (not really just a
mail "server" anymore :-) a bunch in the coming months, and am looking to
get any advice from others that are running largish mail systems.
Right now I have several inbound MX boxes that do spam/virus filtering and

You could make a symlink into the old directory structure from the new...
It's not an ideal way, but it will buy you some time until you want to
rearrange things.

I'm looking for a way to disable bouncing (ALL bouncing, not just
double-bounces) temporarily for a group of domains on one our mail servers

globally (as in NOT editing ALL the /.qmail-default files, as
there are many). Does anyone

I recently have been moving user domains from an old qmail+vpopmail server
to a new one due in large part to hugely increased spam filter load
(grumble). Anyway, I found one user with some 5+ GB of presumably all spam
in their postmaster account (which was a catch all). The new box defaults
to "set
I have a strange problem... I'm running Courier IMAP to provide IMAP
service (surprise :-), and relay-ctrl to let roving customers send mail
out through the server. Trouble is while the older Courier v2.2.1 works
fine, the newer v3.0.6 doesn't update any of the files in the allow

I've got a qmail/vpopmail/courier system at the moment that supports a

You should be able to use relay-ctrl with courier-pop. I'm using it
successfully with courier-imap and the courier-imap and courier-pop
daemons use the same backend auth stuff which is what you need (relay-ctrl
only needs the authenticated POP or IMAP login to open SMTP).
