Hi,
I installed qmail in this order..
MySQL Version 3.22.32
tcpserver (ucspi-tcp-0.88)
qmail-1.03
qmail was working fine. Mails were being deleiverd to Mailbox file.
I switched to Maildir format according to instructions in qmail's
INSTALL.maildir file. I logged in as root and executed :
./maildirmake ~user1/Maildir
echo ./Maildir/ > ~user1/.qmail
for all the users (have only a few users...for testing)
I also excuted:
./maildirmake /etc/skel/Maildir
echo ./Maildir/ > /etc/skel/.qmail
so that all new users are created with proper Maildirs.
Step-4 of qmail's INSTALL file says...
4. Read INSTALL.ctl and FAQ. Minimal survival command:
And according to the FAQ file...
According to FAQ's question 5.1:
5.1. How do I run qmail-smtpd under tcpserver?
I setup in inet.conf file the following (since I have tcpserver
installed)
tcpserver -u 7770 -g 2108 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd &
(I have replaced 7770 and 2108 with my qmaild uid and nofiles gid)
According to FAQ's question 5.3:
5.3. How do I set up qmail-pop3d?
I setup in /etc/inetd.conf the following...
tcpserver 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup YOURHOST \
/bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir &
(Since I have tcpserver installed) I've replaced YOURHOST with my host
name. I have also installed the checkpassword programs.
Now, I can connect to my system on port 25 using telnet and send local
mails using SMTP commands. But mails are not being delivered to mailbox
or Maildir.
I checked the file /var/log/maillog file. But it
says...Unable_to_open_./Maildir
