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