SERVER We lease a dedicated server from 1&1 running Plesk and Qmail. PROBLEM There are 39 domains on the server and Qmail is constantly bombarded with spam mail to a point where it now contains around 350k of emails, most of which are spam. PREVIOUS ATTEMPTS We have installed qmHandle to flush "failure" messages from bounced mails to try and clear the queue and also used the "a" option in qmHandle to force the processing of the queue. It worked most of the time but now the queue seems to be stuck and will only process a few thousand emails and then stall. NEEDED 1. Need to process the existing queue of around 350k emails to the appropriate email inboxes and the clearing of "failed messages" without compromising valid messages to recipients. 2. Install whatever patch(es) are required to maintain Qmail's abilities to process the daily mail. 3. To make sure that incoming emails are processed in a timely fashion and that the queue is minimized. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased. (No GPL, GNU, 3rd party components, etc. unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the coder's Seller Legal Agreement). ## Platform QMAIL LINUX
