Hi all,
I am just starting to build our first qmail internet email server, and am
having alot of problems with getting qmail to run.
Basically everything about qmail works. I've gone through the INSTALL file
and am running Maildir and all mail locally on the server is working fine.
It's the setting up of the pop mail services that has me stumped.
Ive taken the steps from the FAQ regarding pop3d setup, and have installed
tcpserver and checkpassword successfully, but still no luck. I've entered
the following into SUSE's boot.local file: (As told by the FAQ - domain is
an example)
tcpserver 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup qmail-popup lisp.com.au
/bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir &
(all in one line)
But that just makes the system lockup and eventually time out when the
boot.local service tries to run upon system startup. Now, the FAQ states
that if tcpserver is installed then you shouldnt have a line in the
inetd.conf file on pop3. So I have removed the line as shown in the FAQ:
pop3 stream tcp nowait root /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup qmail-popup
lisp.com.au /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir
Even though if I have this line running and the boot.local line removed the
system boots ok, and i can check mail from another computer via email
client software (O.E.5), i just cant send.
I'm running SUSE 6.4 with qmail 1.03. If SUSE is the problem then someone
please tell me that SUSE is no good and that I should switch to redhat.
Any help in this matter would be appreciated eternally. Better yet, if
anyone knows of good docs on setting up "qmail for internet email" then
could you please let me know.
Regards,
Daniel
