NAME
qmail-limits - artificial limits in the qmail system DESCRIPTION
The qmail system is able to handle messages of any size, addresses of any size, mailing lists of any size, and so on, except as limited by the available memory and disk space. However, it imposes certain artificial limits: 1. qmail-lspawn silently limits the number of simultaneous local deliveries to 120. qmail-rspawn silently limits the number of simulta- neous remote deliveries to 120. 2. qmail-queue rejects any message with an envelope address longer than 1000 characters. 3. qmail-lspawn truncates any overly long error report from a delivery program. It appends a note saying that it did so. SEE ALSO

NAME
qmail-lspawn - schedule local deliveries SYNOPSIS
qmail-lspawn defaultdelivery DESCRIPTION
qmail-lspawn reads a series of local delivery commands from descriptor 0, invokes qmail-local to perform the deliveries, and prints the results to descriptor 1. It passes defaultdelivery to qmail-local as the default delivery instruction. qmail-lspawn invokes qmail-local asynchronously, so the results may not be in the same order as the commands. For each recipient address, qmail-lspawn finds out which local user controls that address. It first checks the qmail-users mechanism; if the address is not listed there, it invokes qmail-getpw. qmail-lspawn then runs qmail-local under the user's uid and gid. It does not set up any supplementary groups. qmail-lspawn treats an empty mailbox name as a trash address. SEE ALSO
