SMTP routes for qmail

added our ISP’s outgoing mail server in hopes of getting stuff delivered. hopefully avoiding blacklists and stuff();

root@blue:/var/qmail/control# nano smtproutes

added ISP
:smtp.fuse.net

root@blue:/var/qmail/control# /etc/init.d/qmail restart
$Starting qmail: done

restarted qmail

root@blue:/var/qmail/control# /var/qmail/bin/qmail-qstat
messages in queue: 74
messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 0
root@blue:/var/qmail/control# kill -ALRM `ps ax | grep qmail-send | grep -v grep | awk ‘{print $1}’`
root@blue:/var/qmail/control# /var/qmail/bin/qmail-qstat
messages in queue: 37
messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 1
root@blue:/var/qmail/control#

after a few flushes, nothing in the queue!!!

force qmail to send all in queue
kill -ALRM `ps ax | grep qmail-send | grep -v grep | awk ‘{print $1}’`
