Jake has a great tip in a video about making a QMT run more efficiently. Putting the simscan directory on a RAM disk speeds up scanning big time. I would recommend this tweak if you're needing to start so many spamd children. Check out the video for details. nicole thomson wrote: thanks

In addition to Eric's suggestion of ensuring DNS records are pointing correctly, check that the server you are using to send mail with (The External server you mention) is not also set up to think it handles the mail for your domain locally. If it is, it won't even look at DNS. This is

I agree that Joomla has become a royal pain. Especially since there is no upgrade path from Joomla 1.0 to Joomla 1.5. Since we have to manually migrate anyway, we are going with Drupal. FWIW, I could use M$ Exchange, but I think qmail-toaster is far superior. Just because its costs more

Thanks Eric, the internal servers are running netqmail-1.06. So what you are saying is to make sure the qmail daemons are not running by stopping them and moving the run scripts out of /service directory. Then install postfix via yum and configure it per your instructions in the quickie guide

I think you missed what I was trying to get at. You're using your internal servers for your users to connect to, and send mail, right? Yet, you have your internal server try to relay through the QMT server. Since that server is requiring authentication, the QMT server is rejecting it. Why

That's a valid way of doing things, but it presents another set of problems. It's sometimes difficult to get mail delivered to some larger mail destinations, such as yahoo, hotmail, and gmail. Having everything going out from a single host makes delivery easier to administer. There are fewer
