Hi,
I was wondering if there were any add-ons to qmail for doing selective
POP3 redirection. I have found that using a package called netpipes,
running under tcpserver, I am able to achieve total redirection from one
server to another, but what about selectively ?
I had thought about storing
Dear All,
I use Redhat 5.2 with qmail as the MTA. I am using the AUTOTURN feature
from serialmail-0.75 for on of my clinet who uses Win NT Exchange Server.

I had to set suid to get checkpassword to work on
my system (chmod u+s /bin/checkpassword). Use the example
in INSTALL to see if it works.

Hi everybody,
I'm using qmail with 'tcpserver and all seems working well except one thing:
My customers cannot connect to the Mailserver, because 'tcpserver' is
running 20
copies of 'qmail-smtpd' (if I set '-c40' he will run 40 copies). And when
customers
or me try to connect to the 'smtp port'

checkpassword is being run as root (from inetd for testing
purposes). As it turns out, the problem I was having was all
related to atdot, not checkpassword. However, testing checkpassword
per the INSTALL instructions does not work unless you are root (duh).
I guess it should say that
[root@eof bin]# ./qmail-pop3d
-ERR this user has no $HOME/Maildir
this is what I get when trying to start pop3d...
what user is this thing talking about? alias? root?

according to 'man qmail-pop3d', it requires maildirname as the argument.

Not when you're running qmail-pop3d by hand. As long as you have

Yeah, I know, that's why it needs to run on the same machine where the
mailboxes are stored, and this is usually your popserver (unless you use
nfs).

Sqwebmail's CGI executable has to be run as setuid root, which is against good
security behavior. It'd be better if it used a daemon to read/write the Maildirs

sockets just as easily and read Maildirs from different

qmail does not check your maildir, it only receives mail and delivers to it,

if you notice, DJB is VERY careful about where he uses the # prompt and $

Yes, I am aware that you can do tunneling with ssh, but I am looking for a
