Mail Server

blackhole.acheson.org switched to kukla.acheson.org.

Running qmail 1.03 with qmail-queue patch (net-qmail-1.05) to allow qmail-scanner functionality. Installed using Life with Qmail.

I took advantage of qmail's modular nature by applying the qmailqueue patch (part of netqmail) which then allows qmail-scanner to examine every message, in my case using ClamAv (for virus protection) and SpamAssassin for spam checking. qmail's default behavior is to deliver mail to local users in maildir format. I use an entry in ~/.qmail to pass the messages entering my local directory first through procmail, and then to the appropriate maildir.
