# Groupadd Nofiles # UserAdd -g nofiles -d / var / qmail / alias alias # useradd -g nofiles -d / var / qmail qmails # useradd -g nofiles -d / var / qmail qmaill # useradd -g nofiles -d / var / qmail qmailp # groupadd qmail # userAdd -g qmail -d / var / qmail qmailq # useradd -g qmail -d / var / qmail qmailr # useradd -g qmail -d / var / qmail qmails
2.3 Make Setup CHECK 2.4 Read Install.CTL and FAQ, configure qmail, the easiest way is #. / Config or #. / Config-fast your.full.home.name
2.5 Establishing system alias # (CD ~ Alias; touch .qmail-postmaster .qmail-mailer-daem "qmail-root) # chmod 644 ~ alias / .qmail *
2.6 Replication / VAR / QMAIL / BOOT / PROC to / VAR / QMAIL / RC # CP / VAR / QMAIL / BOOT / PROC / VAR / QMAIL / RC
2.7 Start testing QMAIL delivery procedure
Start qmail: # csh -cf '/ var / qmail / rc &'
First look at / var / log / maillog, search QMail: status: local 0/10 Remote 0/20 qmail-send usually output "status" or "cannot start" if it is not normal to start.
Use the PS to monitor the qmail daemon, there should be five related processes: qmail-send, run qmail-lspawn with qmails users, run qmail-rspawn with root users, run qmail-clean with qmailr users, run SPLogger with qmailq users, QMAILL user runs
Local Mail Test:% echo to: me | / var / qmail / bin / qmail-inject Note: Use your username instead of me Mail should immediately appear in your mailbox ./var/log/maillog should have Record: qmail: new MSG 53 QMail: Info MSG 53: Bytes 246 from QP 20345 UID 666 QMAIL: Starting Delivery 1: MSG 53 To Local Me @ Domain QMAIL: Status: Local 1/10 Remote 0/20 QMAIL: Delivery 1 : Success: DID_1 0 0 / Qmail: Status: Local 0/10 Remote 0/20 qmail: End MSG 5353 is the Inode number, 20345 is the process number, your figures should vary.
Local error test:
Give a local user who does not exist:% echo to: nonexistent | / var / qmail / bin / qmail-inject qmail: new MSG 53 QMAIL: Info MSG 53: BYtes 246 from QP 20351 UID 666 QMAIL: Starting Delivery 2: Msg 53 to local nonexistent @ domain qmail: status: local 1/10 Remote 0/20 qmail: Delivery 2: failure: no_such_address .__ # 5.1.1_ / qmail: status: local 0/10 Remote 0/20 qmail: Bounce MSG 53 QP 20357 qmail: new msg 54 qmail: info msg 54: Bytes 743 from <> QP 20357 UID 666 QMAIL: Starting Delivery 3: MSG 54 To local me @ domain qmail: status: local 1/10 Remote 0/20 qmail: Delivery 3: Success: DID_1 0 0 / Qmail: Status: Local 0/10 Remote 0/20 qmail: End MSG 54 You will immediately receive a pop-back letter.
Remote delivery test: Issue to you on other machines:% echo to: me @ wherever | / var / qmail / bin / qmail-inject qmail: new msg 53 qmail: info msg 53: Bytes 246 from qp 20372 uid 666 QMAIL: STARTING DELIVERY 4: MSG 53 To Remote Me @ Wherever qmail: Status: Local 0/10 Remote 1/20 QMAIL: Delivery 4: Success: 1.2.3.4_accepted_message. / ... qmail: status: local 0/10 Remote 0/20 qmail: END MSG 53 Delivery process will have a break in Starting Delivery and Success, SMTP transfer is relatively slow and then check if me @ wherever receives Email. There are three tests, respectively. Local Postmaster, bounce back Mail and execute commands through mail. The specific method can be found in Test.Deliver.
2.8 Transfer from Sendmail icon.
2.8.1 First find the starter of Sendmail, which is usually seen in the /etc/rc.d directory: sendmail -bd -q15m comment out.
2.8.2 Kill the Sendmail process. If the sendmail has a child process, you can use -stop and -cont signal repeatedly until you use -Term after add -cont to kill after you have no child.
2.8.3 Check if there is a letter in the mail queue. If it is considered necessary to send them out, you can run sendmail.bak -q until you will be emptied until the queue is emptied in a queue.
2.8.4 Remove Sendmail and other files setuid bit # chmod 0 / usr / lib / sendmail # chmod 0 / usr / sbin / sendmail # chmod 0 /usr/lib/sendmail.mx
2.8.5 # mv / usr / lib / sendmail /usr/lib/sendmail.bak # mv / usr / sbin / sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail.bak
2.8.6 Add CSH-CF '/ VAR / QMAIL / RC &' to the startup file.
2.8.7 Installing QMAIL Sendmail Shell: # ln -s / var / qmail / bin / sendmail / usr / lib / sendmail # ln -s / var / qmail / bin / sendmail / usr / sbin / sendmail
2.8.8 Set qmail-smtpd in /etc/inetd.conf: (is a line) SMTP stream TCP NOWAIT qmails / var / qmail / bin / TCP-ENV TCP-ENV / VAR / QMAIL / BIN / QMAIL-SMTPD
2.8.9 Restably inetd, kill inetd with the -HUP signal and can.
2.9.1 Using qmail's maildir (this question is troublesometed for a few days)
Each user directory: / var / qmail / bin / maildirmake / home / $ loginname / maildir
2.9.2 This step is not good as add a line to "/ home / u user name / .bash_profile" mail = / home / $ loginname / maildir / export mail 2.9.3 pop3 go to www.qmail.org to download Checkpassword, (this qmail does not stand up) and compile in inet.conf POP-3 POP-3 Stream TCP NOWAIT qmails / var / qmail / bin / qmail-popup mydomain.com / bin / checkpassword / var / qmail / bin / qmail-pop3d (in one line) 2.9.4 RC file cp / var / qmail / boot / home / var / qmail / rc modified RC file becomes Exec Env - pat = "/ var / qmail / bin: $ PATH" / Qmail-start ./mail/ splogger qmail
