inetd[]: smtp/tcp server failing (looping)

Each morning I trigger a queue retry on one qmail server which only has messages for one other qmail server. Typically about 100 messages (most of them are short mailing list messages). Most mornings, the recipient qmail server dies with the following error from inetd: Sep 22 10:06:53 linux

Re: permanent error: control/locals file

I traced this problem to dynip.com setting the IP address of fashion.dynip.com to 127.0.0.1 when our dialup server goes offline. I changed it to set it to an offline address and the mail now gets queued correctly. ..Chris. Robin Bowes wrote: It is an alias in /etc/aliases (using

permanent error: control/locals file

Can anyone tell me why the following bounce occurred. My control/locals file DOES contain the domain fashionjunction.com, in fact here is my entire control/locals file: localhost www.fashionjunction.com fashionjunction.com One thing worth mentioning is that the user [EMAIL PROTECTED] is an

qmail needs rcpt to own home dir ?

I am setting up a webmail system on top of qmail. I thought once I had a /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow entry for a user, that would be sufficient to receive email. This is not the case, unless the user also has a valid home directory owned by that user, qmail says the user does not exist.

qmail and 4,000 users ?

My company wants to provide users on the internet with a free email service ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). We'll be starting off with about 3,000 users, potentially growing up to 10,000 in the next 12 months. How feasible is it to create a passwd/shadow entry for each user, providing them with POP/IMAP

Stop bouncing messages

I have a dialup qmail server that is a higher MX preference than my permanently connected qmail server. I am using a dynip.com dynamic DNS name for the dialup. My problem is that this morning, it seems that the dynip.com name server was down. The result of this is that the permanently connected

Re: Creating aliases

What I do is echo "ABC" .qmail-DEC This works for me. I think it supports the sendmail form of /etc/alias too. At the risk of being flamed, I think sendmail's method is neater. ..Chris. Joel Gatdula Pira wrote: Hi! I am still new with qmail and I can't create an alias for an user. Say,

qmail doesn't support ETRN though does it ? [root@linux qmail-1.03]# grep -i etrn * [root@linux qmail-1.03]# [root@linux qmail-1.03]# telnet localhost 25 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. 220 fashion.dynip.com ESMTP etrn my.host.com 502 unimplemented (#5.5.1)

Relaying large attachments

My company has 2 qmail servers, one is a dialup, the other is online permanently in another office. When a user in the dialup office sends an email with a large attachment to a large number of recipients, is it possible to configure the dialup qmail server to send one copy to the other qmail

Re: Relaying large attachments

I have thought of that, the disadvantage is that it takes longer to upload. Sending to the server on the LAN takes hardly no time, the subsequent uploading from server to server is of course transparent to the user. I guess I'll just leave things as they are and suffer an occasional drop in
