Hello all,
When a pop user logs in to check mail, they send their user password in clear
text over the network. So, a pop user account could be comprimised, and is
therefore unsecure. On a mail server I administer, I set all of the qmail user
accounts shell to be /bin/false which disallows a direc

I'm trying to setup qmail to have 2 sepearate domains and 2 seperate
usernames. for example
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] are 2 seperate boxes,
but want to be able to host them on the same machine, but keep each billybob
seperate. is this possible with qmail?

Don't worry. There are very rare situations in which sendmail can be
fast

Please post an actual bounce me
qmail does NOT reject messages with invalid characters in the headers. IT
DOES NOT PARSE THE HEADERS.
Are you using cyrus for IMAP service. Cyrus does this by default.
Again, this error is NOT coming from qmail, it is coming from whatever you
are using to do the final delivery.

It's the deliver from the cyrus-IMAPD which causes the troubles and I
blamed qmail instead, my fault :-(

I just received above warning from the qmail list server.
Some of the messages (from April 1st) have been bouncing:

I forwarded the warning message to my provider asking for

This is the answer.
