If you dont like using telnet to test a remote or local smtp server , swaks is a neat little tool to do the job for you.
its also available ( suprise suprise … ) in the freebsd ports : /usr/ports/mail/swaks.

found it first here

you can do this by creating ( or editing ) /var/vpopmail/domains/domainname/.qmailadmin-limits , the below code will limit all settings to 30 accounts per feature.

maxpopaccounts: 30
maxaliases: 30
maxforwards: 30
maxautoresponders: 30
maxmailinglists: 30

• -u: Up. If the service is not running, start it. If the service stops, restart it.
• -d: Down. If the service is running, send it a TERM signal and then a CONT signal. After it stops, do not restart it.
• -o: Once. If the service is not running, start it. Do not restart it if it stops.
• -p: Pause. Send the service a STOP signal.
• -c: Continue. Send the service a CONT signal.
• -h: Hangup. Send the service a HUP signal.
• -a: Alarm. Send the service an ALRM signal.
• -i: Interrupt. Send the service an INT signal.
• -t: Terminate. Send the service a TERM signal.
• -k: Kill. Send the service a KILL signal.
• -x: Exit. supervise will exit as soon as the service is down. If you use this option on a stable system, you're doing something wrong; supervise is designed to run forever.

I am using Bill Shuff's toaster patch ( thanks bill , you rule ! ) , for some reason make cert did not work. I create the certs manually :

#openssl req -newkey rsa:1024 -x509 -nodes -days 3650 -out servercert.pem -keyout servercert.pem

qmail did show TLS up but i got an error : 

#openssl s_client -debug -crlf -starttls smtp -connect localhost:25
50883:error:14077410:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert handshake failure:/usr/src/secure/lib/libssl/../../../crypto/openssl/ssl/s23_clnt.c:562:

scratching my head around the net I found this and run :

#openssl ciphers > /var/qmail/control/tlsclientciphers #openssl ciphers > /var/qmail/control/tlsserverciphers 

which fixed it all: 

#openssl s_client -crlf -starttls smtp -connect localhost:25

CONNECTED(00000003)

I always forget it …
