for those of you that were asking, i'm running slackware 7.1 and i've installed qmail according to the life with qmail document... minus the init.d config files, I don't use init.d, I just added /usr/local/sbin/qmail start" to my rc.local file. I used the IDS file to add users and such, and for my rc file I used the included file "binm1," I think this may be where my problem is, I'm not sure which rc file applies to my machine, since i'm not sure what the default mail delivery is for sendmail in slack, but with this one qmail appears to be functioning properly except for not finding the mailboxes. I'll include the rc at the bottom. As I have said, qmail was configured exactly like the life with qmail document. I've done this same installl on an Open BSD box without any trouble, so I know what I'm doing for the most part. is there another way to setup mailboxes in /var/spool/mail that might work better? I seems to me that the problem is the zero length files. thanks, Kelly #!/bin/sh # Using splogger to send the log through syslog. # Using binmail to deliver messages to /var/spool/mail/$USER by default. # Using BSD 4.4 binmail interface: /usr/libexec/mail.local -r exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \ qmail-start \ '|preline -f /usr/libexec/mail.local -r "${SENDER:-MAILER-DAEMON}" -d "$USER"' \ splogger qmail

The rc scripts included in the tarball assume an old-style installation of qmail; "Life with qmail" documents (among other things) the newer daemontools-based installation. What you might want to do is skip /var/spool/mail altogether. The optimal configuration delivers to Maildirs in the users' home directories. "Life with qmail" shows how to do this.

To keep a copy, you need to put a Maildir or mbox delivery instruction in the .qmail file, instead of trying to forward it to yourself (this causes a mail loop, and qmail detects it and bounces the message): &[EMAIL PROTECTED] ./Maildir/ Charles -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Charles Cazabon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GPL'ed software available at: http://www.qcc.sk.ca/~charlesc/software/ Any opinions expressed are just that -- my opinions. -----------------------------------------------------------------------

I am getting a status 256 in the qmail-smtpd log files when one of our other servers try to connect to the mail server to send mail. The log files from the other server is getting good response, the helo and response, and sends the data but the messages are not getting to the users and there are no entries in the qmail-send log file. Can anybody help? Here are the entries from qmail-smtpd log file.@400000003b0fba66381db324 tcpserver: status: 1/40

Hi I already have qmail installed using qmail-smtpd and now I would like to setup mini-qmail with qmqp server. Need few clarification 1. tcpserver -x /etc/qmqp.cdb -u 7770 -g 2108 0 628 qmail-qmqpd & I need to add this to the boot script. First I'm kinda confused. Now I have /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run file for smtp server, can I run this and qmqp server at the same time so I would have another file at /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-qmqpd/run 2. Is mini-qmail a different program from qmail, can they both exist. I want to use the mini-qmail to run huge mailing list since it sends 1000 mails in 10 seconds. 3. How do I create a symbolic links to /var/qmail/bin/sendmail from /usr/sbin/sendmail and /usr/lib/sendmail. And why do I need to do this?? The way I see it, the only files that are missing is /var/qmail/control/qmqpservers - is this ip address of my server /var/qmail/control/idhost I'm still confused. Is setting up mini-qmail like setting it up in different machine that doesn't have qmail installed or can I set up qmail and mini-qmail in the same machine. by me setting up qmqp server do I need to deactivate smtp server. Can some one give me some good knowledge here. I almost understand this stuff except I'm just not sure and would like some feedback before I start breaking my machine. :) All educational purpose.

OK, well I've set up ~/Mailbox to be used for mail... and tonight i remembered that i had another user account that i created with nothing in it, just default settings... so i sent a message to it... and it worked great, the Mailbox file was created and the message recieved... so, wondering what was up it tried sending to my other account again, with no luck. I'm wondering if this is due to the fact that the username is kind of long at 11 characters. this is the only thing i can think of since the other account with short username works fine. any other suggestions on what might be wrong would be nice. Thanks, Kelly
