Yes. This would be on the QMQP server.

No, "mini-qmail" is a name DJB coined for qmail installations in which
qmail-queue is replaced by a symbolic link to qmail-qmqpc.

Yes, you have multiple qmail installations on a single system, one or
more of which are "mini".

All QMQP does is queue mail remotely. It doesn't deliver 1000 messages
in 10 seconds to mailboxes, it just hands them off to a QMQP server
which still has to deliver them the old-fashioned way: SMTP.

rm /usr/sbin/sendmail /usr/lib/sendmail
ln -s /var/qmail/bin/sendmail /usr/sbin /usr/lib
But this is UNIX 101 stuff...
>And why do I need to do this??
Because "sendmail" is a de facto API used for injecting messages. If
you don't replace it with a link to the qmail "sendmail", you'll be
delivering messages using sendmail.

It's a list of the IP address(es) of one or more *remote* QMQP servers.

Mini-qmail is typically used on small end-user workstations that don't
want to maintain a queue and run the long-lived qmail daemons.

No.
