Like I wrote in the announcement and stated on the web page, the better
approach would be to fix qmailanalog, but I'm not going to do that and
it looks like Dan isn't either, the latest qmailananlog I can find is
0.70 beta dated 1998-08-30.

flush the queue. i must admit though that while my mv command was supposed to
enable backups, it won't work like that since the three files associated with
a message have the same name. but rm'ing all files in the subdirectories given
will flush the queue.

Sure it will. And, as a bonus, it'll fill your log files of nasty queue
consistency errors, and possibly mess up your future queueing.

in the files???

It doesn't, AFAIK.
The filenames themselves match the inode of mess/<file>. And the mtime of
info/<file> is used to measure the queue-lifetime of the message. Moving
the files would blow up the queue (or at least mess it up a little)

P.S. - I've realized my original message looked like a reply to the
"rm'ing" part of yours. Sorry about that. I was talking about moving them.
AFAIK, removing them is safe, unless you have the misfortune of moving
something which is being processed at that exact moment.

but since i moved them outside the /var/qmail/queue directory, in the scope of
the qmail dir, it is as if i had removed them.

Yes, but what's the purpose of moving them if you don't intend to re-queue
them later? :-)

Here are some nice messages in /var/log/qmail/qmail-send/current:
@4000000039f1f8a0211d498c warning: trouble opening remote/18/146022; will try
again later
@4000000039f1f8a2211df954 warning: trouble opening remote/13/145994; will try

how does it get these??? i mean, once remote/13/145994 is removed, how can
qmail know of it's existence? does it keep track in memory then?

Okay, I guess that you cannot really flush the queue. Here is what I did to
remove all messages and get a working qmail queue:
# svc -d /service/qmail-send /service/qmail-smtp
# cd /var/qmail
# mv queue queue.bad
# cd /usr/local/src/qmail-1.03
# make setup check
# svc -u /service/qmail-send /service/qmail-smtp

Hi
I installed Qmail with mysql patch. POP3 works fine, also qmail-getpw is
OK! but when qmail-getpw is called from SMTP, it waits about 30 seconds
and no query transfer to MYSQL and after that, qmail said
there is no mailbox here ...
Also SMTP works fine with /etc/passwd users but can't deliver mail to
mysql. What is the problem?

Pop him with the candlestick in the billiard room, instead.

And make sure to turn on the transegshional oxygen repeater when he
lights the candlestick or otherwise it will burn up all his air (since
the billiard room is mainly CO2 from being closed for the last
century). Watch that he doesn't play pool, either. You don't think
those are really normal balls, do you?

Hi,
I got some questions concerning .qmail files.
I'm installing qmail for the very first time
and now trying to get things done. So first
I run "maildirmake /home/sebastian/Maildir" to
create the maildirectory for the local user sebastian.
Now I must create the .qmail file for this user
and here's my question: How must I name this file
when the user sebastian should get all emails
for user sebastian, must it be "touch /home/sebastian/.qmail-sebastian"?
And what must I type in this file to save the
mail locally in the maildir? Mustn't I modify something
in /var/qmail/alias or users, must I?
Thanks
Sebastian
hi,
> I run "maildirmake /home/sebastian/Maildir" to
> create the maildirectory for the local user sebastian.
hope you did that as user sebastian, if not make a
"chown sebastian.<GroupOfSebastian> -R home/sebastian/Maildir"
(or equivalent of your OS).
the user has to be the owner of the Maildir.
> for user sebastian, must it be "touch
> /home/sebastian/.qmail-sebastian"?
echo ./Maildir/ >.qmail
would do it
> And what must I type in this file to save the
the filename is just .qmail (owner the user! only writeable for the user! e.g. 644)
> Mustn't I modify something
> in /var/qmail/alias or users, must I
nope. if sebastian is a plain system user you do not need to fiddle anywhere else...

The text on the orbs.org website is, unfortunatly, misleading. Alan
Brown, the person who is ORBS, has given more cogent explanations of
how the tester works on various mailing lists and newsgroups.
ORBS uses the abuse.net tester...with one VERY important difference:
they actually check to see if the relayed message is received at the
final destination address. The fact that qmail "accepts" the message
will NOT result in being listed by ORBS: the message would actually
have to be incorrectly relayed for that to happen.
Hopefully, it should be self-evident why the abuse.net tester does not
do this. (Hint: it would make a great mailbombing service.)
There are many legitimate complaints that people have had about ORBS'
behavior (such as "spite listings" and the fact that its tests
generate spam to postmasters of correctly configured machines), but
even ORBS' most vocal detractors (and I have been one of those) do not
believe that a correctly configured qmail server will, on its own,
generate an ORBS listing.
