re: my last posts....

The Qmail list has thrown me back here..... help please !!!!!!!!!!!!

Any comments on how I could have misconfigured qmail-scanner?  Or, Jason, is
it a bug with qmail-scanner-queue.pl and how do I tell/fix it?



Best regards
Pete

No.

This is normal; tcpserver forks a child for each connection.

Ugh.  Why not set up a logging subservice and let svscan take care of most
of

Why is qmail-smtpd running a perl process?  Ah, QMAILQUEUE running
qmail-scanner.  You would appear to have either found a bug in or
misconfigured qmail-scanner.
