just to throw in my 2 cents-
We find we need about 15 PCs per 10,000,000 emails shipped daily. This is based on
P400s running RH Linux 6, with 128M memory and SCSI drives. However, we do virus scan
mail which kind of clouds the throughput issue somewhat.

Hi,
I have a few questions about quotas.
- I use qmail for POP account, so the mail of each user is in
/home/user/Mailbox. I would like to add a quota of like 10 Mb. How can I do
that. Is it easy ?
- If the mail received is like 15 Mb, it will be denied. But will it be
denied before being sent

when there is outgoing email to uucphost, what program executes the

A quick question:
Is it possible to convert incoming email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] to

If yes, how?
Or... is there any document that discuss this in detail?

Hi there,
I thought I understand the logging concept of qmail, but it teached me something
different.
OK, here my wishlist:
1) IP based accounting
I need to know which subnet caused how much traffic. The one and only place where
I see an IP address is my logfile generated by tcpserver, but
Wouldn't a centralised auth daemon (a la vmailmgr) be better for this sort
of thing? It removes the additional overhead of connecting to the
database for each auth request.
Another problem is server stability (for the ultra-paranoid). An
alternative is to update a db file from the database

Nope. Your server will still dutifully receive every byte of a 30 megabyte
mailbomb. Qmail will stop writing to the disk when it hits the limit, and
will eventually reject the message
Yes, control/databytes, if present, is the maximum message size
which the qmail-smtpd program will accept. Set it at least as large
as your largest user quota. See 'man qmail-smtpd' for details.
