Yes, it is. i think i succeded to install the qmail cause i can send email from the second server using pine lets say. You really should be able to tell for sure whether qmail is working by reading the qmail logs. Or perhaps sendmail is still running, and sendmail delivered the message. Check you sendmail logs. Anybody knows what should i do next. Read Life with qmail by Dave Sill -- see lifewithqmail.org . Then read everything at cr.yp.to/qmail.html . Then read everything referenced at qmail.org.

Re: Installation of QMAIL
Hi, 1. In qmail server, in /var/qmail/control direcotory, there are files like me, rpchosts, defaultdomain ... make necessary changes in these file so that this server will accept mail for your domain. 2. Go to primary dns server, in dns, make sure your first mail server is qmail server Regards, Santosh Pasi ---Original Message-- Mailing-List: contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]; run by ezmlm Precedence: bulk From: Constantine Koulis [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bcc: Subject: Installation of QMAIL Date: Tue, 29 May 2001 11:31:28 +0300 hi all. i have a nameserver as my primary server running redhat 7.0 with sendmail.I made another server and i am trying to install qmail on it in order to use it for my email server.ITS HARD. i think i succeded to install the qmail cause i can send email from the second server using pine lets say.

Installation Help Qmail ezMLM
Hello QMail folks, Is there anyone on the list that would be willing to help me with a qmail installation. My Sysop Bill and I are not familiar with qmail but from what I've read, It's what we need ! We have a RedHat 7.0 box set up already and accessable on the net and the Domain Name A MX pointers are set correctly. We have QMail partially installed but not working. Please send me an email if you can help me and I will call you, set up an account and you can log on to help get this installation up and running. Thank you. -Bob OConnor South China Maine USA

switching a large sedmail installation to qmail right now .. need help !
We are right now in the process of migrating a large sendmail installation. I ran into a problem. the sendmail installation we want to replace has a mailertable of +/- 24 entries which tells the mta where to relay mails for a specific domain. the syntax goes like this; domain.org mta1.otherdomain.org sub.domain.org mta2.differentdomain.org etc I don't know how to implement this in qmail. your help is much appreciated. regards.

Each route has the form domain:relay, without any extra spaces. If domain matches host, qmail-remote will connect to relay, as if host had relay as its only MX. (It will also avoid doing any CNAME lookups on recip.) host may include a colon and a port number to use instead of the normal SMTP port, 25: inside.af.mil:firewall.af.mil:26 relay may be empty; this tells qmail-remote to look up MX records as usual. smtproutes may include wild cards: .af.mil: :heaven.af.mil Here any address ending with .af.mil (but not af.mil itself) is routed by its MX records; any other address is artificially routed to heaven.af.mil. The qmail system does not protect you if you create an artificial mail loop between machines. However, you are always safe using smtproutes if you do not accept mail from the network.

It looks like: [root@lllama init.d]# qmail bash: qmail: command not found [root@lllama init.d]# ./qmail bash: ./qmail: No such file or directory OK, these are classic symptoms of a bad "magic number". The top line of the qmail script should look like: #!/bin/sh That tells the exec() system call that the file is a script, and the interpreter is /bin/sh. 1) Verify that the first line of your script is correct: head -1 /usr/local/sbin/qmail |od -c 000 # ! / b i n / s h \n 012 If you get the following: 000 # ! / b i n / s h \r \n 013 The problem is that your browser or the InfoAve web server "helpfully" converted the UNIX text file format (newline) into DOS text format (CRLF). If that's the case, you can convert it back by doing: tr -d '\012' /usr/local/sbin/qmail /tmp/foo cp /tmp/foo /usr/local/sbin/qmail If you get anything else, edit the file, delete the first line, and re-enter it. Or re-download the script. 2) Verify that /bin/sh is a working shell: /bin/sh You should get no error messages, and a "$ ", "bash$ ", or similar prompt. Commands like "ls" and "ps" should work. Hit ^D to exit the shell. If this fails, you've got serious problems. 3) Try "bash /usr/local/sbin/qmail cdb". If that works, the problem is definitely in the "magic number". -Dave
