+Qmail Multiple Queue (Option) -- QMQ(0)
+---------------------------------------
+
+1. What is QMQ ?
+
+Qmail Multiple Queue -- is an option (of SPAMCONTROL).
+SPAMCONTROL is useful on Qmail hosts attached to the
+Internet and receiving e-mails, shortly named MTA 
+(Mail Transfer Agents).
+While SPAMCONTROL tries to take control of the 
+incoming SMTP traffic, QMQ allows you to control
+the e-mail communication to -- and from -- the 
+(downstream) e-mail domains you are responsible for.
+
+2. How does QMQ work ?
+
+In addition to standard Qmail (patched with SPAMCONTROL)
+to receive e-mails from the Internet, you set up > N <
+secondary instances of Qmail to deliver e-mails to your 
+downstream domains.
+The different Qmail instances are typically set up on 
+one host; the communication from the primary instance to 
+the secondary is faciliated by QMTP, though SMTP can be 
+used as well.
+While the primary instance is patched with SPAMCONTROL, 
+all seconderis can be plain (Vanilla) Qmail. 
+Once the primary Qmail instance receives an e-mail for
+a QMQ domain, it will forward the e-mail via QMTP to 
+one of the secondary instances, which is responsible
+for furthter delivery. 
+This not only will avoid the so-called "Silly Qmail 
+Syndrom" but will allow you to fine-tune the delivery
+conditions and set-up (e.g. Virus/Spam scanners) 
+for any recipient domain.
+
+3. How to set up multiple Qmail instances ?
+
+You are free to set them up.
+However, you can use the scheme, I have developed:
+a) Modify "conf-qmq" to your needs.
+   Here, you define the (local) instances by name
+   and their (QMTP) port numbers.
+b) Execute ./qmtpt ..../ . This will raise
+  - ./qmail/skeleton -- 
+  - ./qmail/source
+
+4. What is the benefit of QMQ ?
+
+a) Decoupling: Delivery to domain >i< is independent
+   of domain >k<. 
+b) Independent delivery parms and perhaps filters for
+   any secondary domain.
+c) Primary instance does not suffer from "Silly Qmail 
+   Syndrom".
+d) Set up of a dedicated Bounce Queue.  
+e) Thruput is increase by a factor of 10 - 100.
+
+
+5. Consideratons:
+
+a) Using 'qmail-qstat' practically, very littly
+   e-mails stay in step 'preprocessed' (on the 
+   primary instance) will be realised.
+b) Adjust your delivery channels to your needs.
+   With QMQ, Qmail will easly flood them up.
