Re: addition to qmail init script

 If you want a generic copy of the setup I use, I've got it in
 http://qmail.org/service.tar.gz .

Is it intentional that there is no rules file used for pop3d ?

 Would something like this work, or could someone post an example if
 they have already done this?

Not really. Once you say 'qmail tcprules' (or whatever) /etc/tcp.smtp
and /etc/tcp.smtp.bak have the same contents. That's not much use!

The logic needs to be something like:
If tcp.smtp is good, make a backup; else leave current backup alone.

That should leave you with your current config (tcp.smtp) and your last
good config (tcp.smtp.bak).

Try:

tcprules)
echo -n "installing new rules file..."
tcprules /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb /etc/tcp.smtp.tmp  /etc/tcp.smtp  cp 
/etc/tcp.smtp /etc/tcp.smtp.bak
chmod 644 /etc/tcp.smtp*
;;

I exclusively install qmail using daemontools-0.70.  My rules are in
/service/smtpd/tcp, and the cdb is correspondingly in
/service/smtpd/cdb.  And I've got a /service/smtpd/Makefile that looks 
like this:

cdb: tcp
tcprules cdb cdb. tcp

addition to qmail init script

[Bill Parker]

Hi All,

I was wondering, would it be possible to add the following to
my init script for qmail so that I can process tcprules changes on
a easier basis:

 tcprules)

cp /etc/tcp.smtp /etc/tcp.smtp.bak
echo -n "tcprules file backed up..."
tcprules /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb /etc/tcp.smtp.tmp  /etc/tcp.smtp
echo -n "installing new rules file..."
chmod 644 /etc/tcp.smtp*
;;

Would something like this work, or could someone post an example if
they have already done this?
