Qmail lacking features, view config

/var/qmail/bin/qmail-showctl will show you the running config.

Qmail does not allow you to restrict max recipients or max messages per session. I saw reference to a plugin to handle these controls, but do not know the name of it.

You can restrict max message size in /va/qmail/control/databytes

Example:

$ cat /var/qmail/control/databytes
10485760

That’s a 10MB limit

Qmail SMTP routes, single route

Qmail smtproutes can only handle one route per egress domain name.

Example:

example1.com:10.0.0.1
example1.com:10.0.0.2

Will send mail only to 10.0.0.1 The second entry will be ignored.

You are better off using round-robin DNS or submitting a patch to handle priority routing.
