The original qmail-queue file (as compiled by qmail-src) is an ELF binary, was never a script. I replaced it with a cheap hack of a script to squeeze spamassassin into the mix, then pass it along the Dr Bernstein way of doing SMTP. Why qmail? Because I didn't want to run sendmail while on Red Hat, so I picked the #2 MTA on the market. And other than the cheap qmail-queue hack, it is compliant:apt-get install ucspi-tcp apt-get install qmail-src I'll take a look at exim. Thanks for the tip :) -- michael Lennart Sorensen said:

Hi, after re-reading my email I might have left out one piece. The mail coming into the relay machine is pushed to qmail via a shell script called /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue:---- #!/bin/sh /usr/bin/spamc | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue.orig ---- I moved the original binary file qmail-queue to qmail-queue.orig .
When I remove the shell script and rename the .orig file back to qmail-queue, the system relays i.e. all SMTP header info is correct. Any ideas?--
Your script changes are broken?
What is the difference between the original and the new scripts?
Is it OK to ask: Why qmail when exim is available? And you could at least use a debian compliant qmail :)
