Hello all,

I have a recent install of qmail-scanner1.12 with the latest 
spamassassin and sophos sweep running, it's great! Thanks to Jason 
Haar for the great software.

In the qmail-scanner FAQ, question # 4 in the "Resource Issues" 
section reads like this:

SMTP clients hang when sending messages to Qmail-Scanner. This is 
because Qmail-Scanner processes the message completely before 
returning "OK" to the client. This doesn't matter when the client is 
a remote mail server (there's no-one there to get impatient), but 
when the remote client is a user - it can be annoying. The fix (as 
such) is to install Qmail-Scanner on a non-standard port (e.g. 26), 
and put a "pure" Qmail server up on port 25, which forwards all mail 
to port 26. That way the user sees immediate acceptance of their 
message, and the system will process it at it's own rate.


I would like to set this up, can anyone point me to information on 
how to do this? An example /var/qmail/rc file? Can this be done with 
just DJB's tcpserver tools, or do you need something else to do the 
local port forwarding? Forgive me if these questions are basic, I'm 
fairly new to all this...

Thanks,

Brian
