Hi! I'm about to embarck on rebuilding my Qmail/Vpopmail mail server
using Bill Shupp's toaster. I was going to do this back in May 2006 but
never did. :)
Since then, I've learned my SMTP server isn't requiring a POP3 login
FIRST, as I thought I had it configured, so I'm going to rebuild the
mail server and hope that process results in a server configured the way
I want and better than it's configured now. :)
One question I have is this: once I'm done with Bill Shupp's Qmail
toaster, what should the mail server processes look like when everything
is up and running?
This is what I've got up and running right now:

The qmail-smtpd entry was my attempt at getting Qmail's SMTP server to
deal with roaming users they way I thought I had it configured to do so.
When I'm done with Bill Shupp's toaster, should the mail server
processes look like my current process above? Can someone post an
example of how the processes look when running so I can get an idea if
I've got things ok? The server as it is now DOES send/receive mail ok
and is NOT an open relay. I do realize that looking at the process
list isn't the definitive way to determine if my mail server is properly
configured but I've noticed things like there isn't a tcpserver process
running qmail-smtpd, despite it being setup to do so in the
/service/qmail-smtpd/run script.
I'm just looking for an idea of how things should look, process wise,
once I'm done with everything.
Thanks!
Peace...
Tom
