Re: [vchkpw] What does \ in qmail Startscript mean?
That's correct - it's the same thing as writing everything on a single line - but by using backslash it's a little easier to read :) Regards, Sune Rievers Hi All, just a simple question, look at the qmail start-script there are some lines like this: #!/bin/sh MAXCON=100 exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 300 \ /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -H -c $MAXCON \ What does the backlash \ mean? Concatenation of the following line?? Any Pundits here?

Re: [vchkpw] vpopmail and local delivery
I think you need to put smtp.example.com in /var/qmail/control/me (and locals), this is the local (not virtual) domain that qmail uses to deliver to shell users...

You are correct, when in the locals file qmail seems to want to deliver tha mail to a local shell user. What I want to do is send that mail to a virtual user in the example.com domain. I tried puting the [EMAIL PROTECTED] address in the .qmail-root and .qmail-postmaster and .qmail-mailer-daemon files that I created in the /var/qmail/alias directory but to no avail. Simply put, I just want emails intended for local machine to go to the user of my choice in the default domain of my choice. Ok - you could put a .qmail file in the shell users homedir containing [EMAIL PROTECTED] (I think this requires the fastforward package), this will forward all mail to the intended virtualdomain email... I don't know how to make this a global setting (if you have a lot of shell users this could be quite a task), maybe a blank locals file ? I hope some of this helps :) Thanks for the response, J.R.

Re: [vchkpw] vpopmail and local delivery
seems like my mailer destroyed some of my previous mail - sorry about that - what I meant was [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the .qmail file Regards, Sune Rievers
Re: [vchkpw] Vpopmail
i think you're missing a \ or your mailer has made extra linebreaks.. mine looks like this: #!/bin/sh exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 2000 \ /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -R -H -l 0 0 110 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup \ $HOSTNAME /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 21 Regards, Sune Rievers On Fri, 15 Nov 2002 18:54:53 +0800 Joeffrey Betita [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: hi ppl #!/bin/sh MAXCON=100 exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 300 \ /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -H -c $MAXCON \ 0 110 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup example.com.ph /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 21 the error message is TCP/IP connection was unexpectedly terminated by the server. psl. help me with this problem. thank you very much. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
