Subject: qmail
i have a question for =
the qmail=20
people out there. this is my first time working with =
qmail, anyway there=20
seemed to be a big push to use Maildir instead of mbox in the docs =
that i have=20
read. so that is what i did, i conf. qmail to use Maildir and =
non-system=20
accounts. which is partly working, i can send, so smtp is working =
find, and i=20
can connect pop3 to the server using both evolution and OE6. but qmail =
doesnt=20
seem to be delivering the mail to the Maildir for the test account. =
also=20
relaying seems to be a problem, i followed these instructions but had =
no=20
success:
8a. Access =
Control
Before we can=20
start up our qmail smtpd, we need to do some access control.
The =
simplest=20
way to do this is by using files in /etc. I use /etc/tcp.smtp as =
my
access control file. If you don't need to do any access =
control,=20
/etc/tcp.smtp can have just
one line:
:allow
Note that a default =
configuration=20
does not allow for ANY relaying, even from localhost.
To allow =
relaying=20
from localhost and your local network, you would have to use =
something
like=20
=
this:
127.0.0.1:allow,RELAYCLIENT=3D""
192.168.1.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=
=3D""
:allow
After you've created =
your rules,=20
you need to activate them. tcpserver works by reading
a cdb=20
(database) file. You use the tcprules program to build the =
database file=20
from your
/etc/tcp.smtp file. This is accomplished by the =
following=20
command:
# tcprules =
/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb=20
/etc/tcp.smtp.tmp < /etc/tcp.smtp
it wasnt until i =
added the host i=20
was sending, to the rcpthosts file in /var/qmail/control.
thx in advance for =
any=20
help.
