Qmail problem(s)..... HELP!!! AHHH

[ee99ee2]

First, I need a way to setup vitural users. As in, users that JUST have e-mail (not an account on the system). How do I do that? I tried vmailmgr, but it's not for vitural users, just vitural domains... to my understanding at least...

How can I do this?

You're trying to setup seperate ./Maildir/'s? So each people can have pop3 boxes without a real account on the machine?

Because you need to create an email account under that virtual domain.

Here is a great howto for having virtual domains/users with Qmail (http://mricon.com/SM/guide.old/)

The other problem that I'm having is it takes about 80-90 sec. to connect to my SMTP server. That's a real problem, b/c I send alot of mail. I've restarted, I've done everything I can possably think of. I just don't know what to do. This is killing me... aarrgg

How do you start qmail-smtpd? You need to be less paranoid to speed things up. With tcpserver you need to add -HR options.

>> I've done everything I can possably think of

So what are they exactly?

[ee99ee2]

Add the -HR option to what?

Oh, and I wouldn't be so paranoid, only Outlook is timing out b/c it's so slow. Pop and anything else works great, just not SMTP.

To the startup script of your qmail-smtpd under tcpserver. Don't tell me you are not using tcpserver, you are supposed to when you use qmail.

>> and I wouldn't be so paranoid

The paranoid is a technical term for TCP Wrapper and tcpserver, not referring to human-beings.

Maybe you should start here -> http://www.lifewithqmail.org
