Anyone know how to stop/cleanup a SPAM with 1500 messages in
queue?
The user was deactivated and kicked offline in the middle of
SPAMing.. But what now? :)
Thanks,
Brad
Yeas, killed and restarted every qmail- I could find. Even tried the
smtproutes with .f-tech.net:mail.f-tech.net and stil sitting with 300+ in
the queue and netstat -a says nothing's moving.

Hello all
I had a primary MX HDD fail, and for about 6 hours the secondary MX took
up the slack and qued up about 300 messages.
Problem is that I don't see them being forwarded now the primary is up
again.
One thing that MAY had caused a problem is that while the DNS had the
proper MX records:

Ok, got the serialmail package installed.
First, how to force all f-tech.net mail into a single Maildir:
in virtualdomains I added f-tech.net:ftech (a user who has a maildir)
restart qmail, nada.
How do I get the mail to dump into that users maildir? I added a

Any more of you seen these messages? They seem to come in everytime I post
on the qmail list. This one came as a reply on a kind request from me to
stop sending these. It looks like it's automatic, he replies quite fast :)

It's on www.qmail.org allright. Under the header "Author's enhancement...",

There any way to make pinq use mbox2maildir after it runs pine? It just seems to ignore
it if I stick it in there.

So I need a good directory hashing algorithim beyond last/first name for
example.
Maildir is located under the users home directory. I want their homedir location
to be something that would distribute the load more evenly, instead of something
like /home/smith/joe/Maildir.
Any suggestions?

In recent times, I've been installing qmail off of the SRPM from

variety of packages that I haven't fully mastered yet (such as daemontools,

If you are going to convert from Sendmail to QMail, count on the following-
1. You will have to be able to in your head understand the "metaphor" if
you will that Sendmail uses and the one that Qmail uses. They both think
about e-mail quite differently.
2. You will need to be able to pinpoint are

We used to receive mail for several domains, using several smtp servers.
We are now moving to use a unified domain for everybody.
Our new mail setup is this :

My two 5 cents.
I have success in running QMail after a bit of hacking.

A .qmail file that contains only a comment tells qmail not to deliver the

message away).
Yes it is working as you intend. :)
