Fictitious domain and SMTP relay
Hi all, Thanks to many on the list , most of my questions have been answered ! My office Lan has a fictitious domain, adventus.cxm . Qmail runs on server.adventus.cxm ( IP = 192.168.1.254 ) . The firewall / gateway machine ( IP= 192.168.32.1 ) is connected to the Net over ISDN dialup. We wish to setup virtualdomains for our users to allow them access to their POP mail from different providers .My /var/qmail/control/smtproutes contains a single line :smtp.myisp.net . smtp.myisp.net does not relay emails from my system , because it does not recognise server.adventus.cxm . Fetchmail is working correctly ! What do i need to do about the SMTP bit ? Sincerely Anurag
Re: Mail delivery problems.
Thanks ..that did it !!! Now all i need ( oops ! ) to do is to get qmail to use my ISP's SMTP server ... Do I create /var/qmail/control/smptproutes with the ISP's smptp IP ? Or is ~defaulthost the appropriate file ? regards Anurag - Original Message - From: "Adam Andrzej Jaworski" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Anurag Jalan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, February 20, 2001 3:36 PM Subject: Re: Mail delivery problems. > Hi, > > 1) 'Life with qmail' is excellent but try http://www.flounder.net/qmail/qmail-howto.html >it is my favourite HOWTO (thaaanks to Adam McKenna) > > 2) Unable_to_open_./Maildir:_is_a_directory._(#4.2.1) / error means that either >you have bad Maildir structure or missing slash after ./Maildir/ in rc file > >so, make sure you have there something like: < SNIP >
Mail delivery problems.
Hi all, I recently removed Sendmail 8.9.3 from my Redhat 6.2 system and installed Qmail 1.03 following instructions from 'Life with qmail'. Aim : To allow 20 odd users on the intranet to access their email from various POP3 accounts on different servers and to allow them to send local email to each other. Setup : caching DNS setup for a fictitious domain adventus.cxm . FQDN of local server is server.adventus.cxm . qmail-pop3d setup through tcpserver as advised . Russell Nelson's script used to convert /var/spool/mail to Maildir mailboxes fetchmail run via script as user 'anurag' ( was working under Sendmail ) as a cronjob ( every 3 minutes ) . Added 'forcecr to * here ' to .fetchmailrc . in the rc script ..in the qmail-start line i have ' defaultdelivery splogger qmail' defaultdelivery has been set to ./Maildir I have found the following error in /var/log/maillog Unable_to_open_./Maildir:_is_a_directory._(#4.2.1) / Any help would be *very* welcome . Sincerely Anurag
Qmail on RH 6.2
Hi all,I was never fully comfortable with Sendmail so I've decidedto go with Qmail 1.03 ... I've followed the instructions in the .pdfdocumentation and have everything setup ok . I am not so sure about the POP3 bit . Thus far i had been usingthe default pop3 daemon thru inetd . Two quick questions :i) What POP3 daemon should i use ? [ Mbox OR Maildir ]ii) Usermail directories are in /var/spool/mail ...SOWhat can i do, so that i do not lose any existing mail ?A slightly detailed reply would be very welcome.SincerelyAnurag
