Re: Qmail/SMTP Gateway for dial-up mail server
I have a situation where the following scenario has risen... LAN-LocalQMailServer-(Dial-up)Internet -- QmailGateway Let me start with I have a similar situation: LAN---MyQMailServer---(Dial-up)---(.*)Gateway==MailGateway,. .. ... and I had no problems setting the mail-related things up. So I would like to create a qmail server that will store all of the emails for thisdomain.com and be the MX record in dns == QmailGateway (above) Is that MX record neccessary? Mailer system that wants to send e-mail to one of your users will complain if you are not connected at the time it sends the mail. And configure the LocalQmailServer (above) which has all of the real email accounts on it to dial up to the internet and download all the email intended for thisdomain.com to itself and then deliver it locally. So my real question is.. Can this be done with qmail? Yes, but you will also need fetchmail. fetchmail setup is quite simlple after reading its docs, write me if no success. On the qmail side you will need the locals control file containing your domain (mine also contains full server name and IP but it seems obsolete) and maybe rcpthosts (read man qmail-control et al about it).

Of course it can be done. You have several choices. You may use UUCP for transmission - this gives you the advantage of compressed batches and some bandwith saving. The costs are additional software, (possible) security implications and delays from the batching/transmission interval. You may use pure serialmail do deliver your mail to the gateway and turnmail to get it from the gateway. You can use also getmail to fetch your mail from the gateway. This has the advantage that it's easy to set up and only does require some little additional programs that can be found on qmail.org. Pointers are in the FAQ and on qmail.org. Regards, Frank
Qmail/SMTP Gateway for dial-up mail server

I have seen many ISP's that do this for companies so I know it can be done (at least with sendmail... but we wont go there!) So my real question is.. Can this be done with qmail? Does anyone know of any documentation on this type of setup? Any info you have would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, LP
