Subject: Qmail and its parts.
I don't normally ask for help, but this thing
(qmail and associated programs) is driving me nuts.
Environment and background:
O/S: RedHat 7.0
compiled and installed these
packages:
qmail-1.03+patches-18
supervise-scripts-3.3-1
ucspi-tcp-0.88-1
ucspi-unix-0.34-1
vmailmgr-0.96.9-2
vmailmgr-courier-imap-0.96.9-2
vmailmgr-daemon-0.96.9-2
While I thought I've configured everything
according to the million man files...mail comes in, gets put into a directory
under /var/qmail/queue
ps -ef | grep qmail reveals:
root
198 194 0 08:59 ?
00:00:00 supervise qmail
qmaild
570 1 0 09:00
? 00:00:00 tcpserver -c 100 -u 101
-g 102 0
so qmail is apparantly running.
qmail-showctl looks good. my rcpthosts
contains the name of the mailserver, the name of the domain.
virtualdomains looks good.. for both users i have
defined right now, it has the name of the domain and the username
(domainname:username).
/etc/qmail/users/assign formatted according to
the man page.
qmail-qstat reveals:
messages in queue: 24
messages in queue but
not yet preprocessed: 14
It would help me greatly if anyone could help me
understand how all these things fit together. I know supervise is a
replacement for just putting something in rc.d or whatever, and i think i have
that running right, since qmail is running. What I'm hoping to
accomplish is the delivery of the email into the correct user's
maildir. Confused as to how vmailmgr fits into this, i've even made the
.qmail file in the user's directory simply point at the maildir directory,
instead of using the | to send the mail to the vmailmgr.
Could someone get me started?
Thanks..
