If you have a machine that could act as a "data storage" you might want
to do this:
If this machine "datastor.example.com" has qmail running, add to
/var/qmail/control/rcpthosts
yahoo.com
.yahoo.com
and (has the same problems as it has the same MX)
yahoo.de
.yahoo.de
Then add lines to /var/qmail/control/virtualhosts
yahoo.com:yahoo.com
.yahoo.com:yahoo.com
yahoo.de:yahoo.com
.yahoo.de:yahoo.com
and to /var/qmail/users/assign
+yahoo.com-:dsmtp:UID:GID:/var/datastor/serialmail/yahoo.com:-::
If you don't have a /var/qmail/users/assign don't forget to add a line
with a "." (dot) as the last line of this file.
# mkdir -p /var/datastor/serialmail/yahoo.com
# echo './Maildir/' > /var/datastor/serialmail/yahoo.com/.qmail-default
# /var/qmail/bin/maildirmake /var/datastor/serialmail/yahoo.com/Maildir
# chmod -R go-w /var/datastor/serialmail/yahoo.com
# chown -R UID:GID /var/datastor/serialmail/yahoo.com
After that do
# /var/qmail/bin/qmail-newu
# kill -HUP <pid of qmail-send>
The first line creates a new cdb from users/assign the second line
causes qmail-send to reread control/virtualdomains.
Now datastor.example.com should be ready to take all the emails for
yahoo.com (and yahoo.de) and store them into a Maildir from where you
can send it on later, when the yahoo mailservers are functional again
via the serialmail package.
Now on your mailserver add lines to /var/qmail/control/smtproutes
yahoo.com:datastor.example.com
.yahoo.com:datastor.example.com
yahoo.de:datastor.example.com
.yahoo.de:datastor.example.com
This causes qmail to bypass MX delivery and use "datastor.example.com"
as a relay for the yahoo domains.
This should help you get rid of the yahoo mails in your queue. If you
want to speed this up, you do a
# kill -ALRM <pid of qmail-send>
on your mailserver.
Of course you can configure this on your mailserver as well (without using
a datastor.examaple.com") and loop all the mails one internal hop.
In that case on your mailserver add lines to /var/qmail/control/smtproutes
yahoo.com:mailserver.example.com
.yahoo.com:mailserver.example.com
yahoo.de:mailserver.example.com
.yahoo.de:mailserver.example.com
No guarantee for correctness or missing typos ;-))
but thats a way it should work.
