Let me be clear what I am trying to say
:
I am using Red Hat ver 6.1 and am trying to setup
my mail server with qmail.
I installed
1.
qmail-1.03.tar.gz
2. ucspi-tcp-o.84
3. daemontool0.53
I am using Dave Sill's "Life with Qmail" as my
reference to do the installation.
4. I installed first qmail-1.03 with the
installation instructions given --- while doing ./congif I encountered and error
finding the domain, so I went to linuxconf and set my domain name, then did a
./config-fast FQDN - and the installation went on successful.
5. Secondly - I installed ucspi-tcp and it went on
successfully
6. Thirdly - I installed daemontools-0.53
Note: All these three files are residing in
/usr/local/src/qmail
7.Then I created the rc file accordingly under
/var/qmail/
and created the ./Maildir/ format and set it up in
the defaultdelivery file
8. Then I went about writing the sript file (qmail)
since the one I downloaded from the site did not work many times during boot up
and infact even now I need to manually start it. by /usr/local/bin/qmail
start.
9. But now after writing the script on my own from
"LWQ" i was atleast able to start the file using the /usr/local/bin/qmail start
command.
10.The only thing I never did before this is after
killing sendmail I did not link the
ln -s
/var/qmail/bin/sendmail /usr/lib
ln -s
/var/qmail/bin/sendmail /usr/sbin
but apart from the above 2 steps the prior 3
steps shown below I completed it
mv /usr/lib/sendmail
/usr/lib/sendmail.old
mv /usr/sbin/sendmail
/usr/sbin/sendmail.old
chmod 0 /usr/lib/sendmail.old
/usr/sbin/sendmail.old
11. Then I did an echo to .qmail-root,
.qmail-postmaster and so on... so forth
12. Later I found it was difficult for me to
understand adding the users through qmail so I installed VPOPMail, checkpassword
and ezmlm, autorespond
13. I created the users in the user directory
/home/vpopmail/users/
14. I tried to echo To: john@mydomainname |
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject but I don't seem to have received any mails
into it.
15. So i tried adding the tcpserver in the
qmail script so to start the tcpserver and also pop3d.
16 I linked the pop3d
file.
17 My tcpserver and pop3d seems to be
started and working but I don't seem to receive incoming
mails
18 I tried to do a ps -ax to check the
processes running and this is what I get below
