I'm going to recommend a friend

Post #9,828 by ben_tilly 9/20/01 10:09:54 AM Reply	I'm going to recommend a friend But only because he is a friend. Because high volume email on commodity hardware is his business. And because he is sure to ask some hard questions, and I trust him to be unhelpful if the situation warrants. Try [link\|mailto:nelson@crynwr.com\|nelson@crynwr.com] who runs [link\|http://www.crynwr.com\|www.crynwr.com]. Cheers, Ben

I used his token ring shim driver to pretend it was an ethernet card on Dos 10 years ago. Actually, I think I've narrowed it down. 3 Linux boxen, Reiser FS, qmail. Co-loed at ISP. Our ISP was the original Sanford Wallace ISP, and they are REAL careful. A hint of resending after someone told you not to and they yank your box. Having your entire ISP range of addresses black-holed does that to you.

If you have never set up qmail before - or even if you have and wondered why it was such a chore - could I recommend [link\|http://www.courier-mta.org/\|Courier] instead. It was originally a qmail alternative (!), using maildir as it's native format and borrows qmail's .qmail files for end-user configuration. It's not the complete solution you requested, though, which is why I didn't suggest it earlier. Wade "All around me are nothing but fakes Come with me on the biggest fake of all!"

The client was not 100% honest about how much they would be willing to pay for the service, (what would you expect from people already spamming?) which killed the deal. I may be scum, but at least I'm not cheap scum.

After I had to find and re-compile another, unrelated piece of software to do something Mr Bernstein has decided he won't patch qmail to do* The second time, it was just painful. Courier is much nicer to setup. Wade. * Which is configurable relaying. Courier has a whole configuration file devoted to this.
