Does anyone know a way to change the qmail home directory at compile 
time? i.e /var/qmail becomes /var/qmail2. I need to run two copies of 
smtpd where one instance is accessing a different ../control/smtproutes 
file.

 

   1. *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.

As described in the qmail-scanner faq:

I have setup the second smtpd server on port 26 running qmail-scanner. 
How do I make smtpd on port 25 forward to port 26 - I acheived this 
using the smtproutes file however the second copy of qmail (running 
qmail-scanner) loops i.e it keeps send itself the message due to using 
the same smtproutes file. Does anyone know a way to overcome this?

If you have any suggestions that would be great!

Dan
