er...@terapeutikum.se
Could sombody explain for a newbe (me) how qmail-qmtpd and qmail-qmqpd
works and when to use what.
This is the scenario that i would like to setup:
Four boxes thats gonna comunicate with two qmail-servers. I dont want
thoose four boxes to have any queues localy, I want all and every mail to
be shipped straight to any of the qmail machines.
So what do i need to set this up?

QMQP and QMTP are mail transmission protocols that don't suffer from some of
the problems of SMTP. QMTP can be used on a public interface; QMQP is only
suitable for use with trusted clients.

Set up one normal qmail server. Run qmail-qmqpd on it on the LAN-side only
(or use a firewall to restrict access to that service). Then install a
"mini-qmail" installation on each of the four machines you want to run
queue-less; mini-qmail is essentially a qmail installation that uses a QMQP
client as a replacement for qmail-queue, so messages are queued to the remote
QMQP server.
See qmail.org for additional documentation on this.
