Do you have a quota fs enable? Are you using quota? Are the FS full?
I have no problem with fetchmail and qmail, this should be a FS problem.

What do you mean by FS? If you mean, File System, there are no quota limits for any
user.
What MDA are you using? maildrop or procmail?
Most of my fetchmail/maildrop operations work fine. It is only with the large mail
that I get this error.

I thnk I saw something similar in OpenBSD, and yes, I think this rocks. I
about to set up a cluster of FreeBSD 4-qmail boxes so this saves me some
trouble...

It does away with symlinks by inventing its own pointless file-based
symlink format. It then needs an extra program to interpret that file.
That program is, as it turns out, unreliable at high loads. If the
kernel is low on file descriptors at the wrong moment then the program
runs sendmail! What a disaster. Metzger should be ashamed of himself.
See http://cr.yp.to/etc-mta.html for a simpler, faster, _correct_
configuration mechanism that doesn't try to reinvent the filesystem.
Please encourage your OS vendor to support /etc/mta, not mailer.conf.

Ok, one that might work:
Route the domain to 127.0.0.1 in smtproutes
create a virtualdomain for it to deliver to nowhere (just a '#' in the
.qmail file)
No guarantees! :)
Note that this will destroy _all_ mail for that domain, including the valid
mail for that domain.

My problem is that i MUST keep valid mail. So it's not possible (and
it's why i restart the TFS gateway each hour... :'( ).
BUT !
What if :
I) i create a virtualdomain equal to my routed domain.
II) i create a user equal to my RCPT TO user for bad mail
III) i route all other mail to the right gateway.
I know how to do I) and II)... BUT
Does anyone know how to III) ?
My other question is again : are they any tool to handle QMAIL queue
(like kill a lot of mail from a user...) ?
BTW, i can code this tool, but HOW TO DESTROY CLEANLY MAIL FROM THE
QUEUE?
I've hacked qmail-getpw to make a mail directory, if it doesn't exist,
but there is a valid user (recently added to an oracle database). There is
also a qmail users/assign file that has all the older users, and gets
refreshed from the database every five minutes.
Delivery to any users that are in the assign file works fine. However, I
don't think that qmail-getpw is being called, if the user isn't in the
assign file (or the cdb file). I've added a syslog call to the qmail-getpw
program, to log when it's called. This doesn't come up, when the
qmail-inject is done, below:
root@mail1:/home/jplooney# jobs

[2]+ Running tail -f /var/log/qmail/send/* &

Anyone know why qmail-getpw wouldn't get called, if the username isn't in
the assign file ?

Minor type in copying/pasting the mail. This does actually print:
root@mail1:/# qmail-getpw john_looney ; echo
john_looney143143/mail/0000/00/7c
root@mail1:/#

And the answer;
If "alias" is in the users/assign file, it won't call qmail-getpw.

But as you said "mailinglist"-file, you probably want to install some sort
of mailinglist handler that checks whether sender is moderator or part of
the list.
Take a look at http://cr.yp.to/ezmlm.html

It's a variable that was used with the original qmail queue structure.
It's unused now, and can be removed safely.

This is a particularly good example of how to ask a question that's guaranteed
not to generate an answer.
You're going to need to define exactly what problem you're trying to solve,
exactly what you did to try to make it happen, and in exactly what way it
failed.

It's simple : put it in /var/qmail/control/badmailfrom file...
man qmail-control
ex: [EMAIL PROTECTED] to be blocked
Create a /var/qmail/control/badmailfrom file with [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[EMAIL PROTECTED] is a subscriber to the qmail mailing list. When
muncher.math.uic.edu (which is where the qmail list lives) tried to send him a
list message, the message was rejected because the MX for cia.com.au wasn't
configured to receive mail for cia.com.au (cia.com.au wasn't in
control/rcpthosts).
ezmlm received this bounce message, stored it, and eventually sent out a
warning to see if the address was still bouncing mail. By this time the
administrator of cia.com.au had fixed his configuration and the warning got
through. The sending of warnings and probes is ezmlm's way of weeding out
defunct addresses from mailing lists.

I installed qmail, fastforward, dot-forward, ucspi-tcp,
checkpassword (with this order).
But tcpserver is not performed.
This is the end of my rc.local
---------------------------------------------------------------
# to run qmail
csh -cf '/var/qmail/rc &'
# to run smtp under tcpserver
tcpserver -v -u 504 -g 503 0

2>&1 | /var/qmail/bin/splogger smtpd
3 &
# to run pop3 under tcpserver and Maildir

/var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup selab5.sogang.ac.kr \
/bin/checkpassword
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir &
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The first line - csh -cf '/var/qmail/rc &' - is performed,
but the other two commands are
not performed. With the command (ps -ef), they are not
found.
So if I copy and perform them in the command line,
they(tcpserver commands) work well.
What is problem?
Help me...

Try including the full path
to tcpserver. try /usr/local/bin/tcpserver
Hope this helps
