Step 1: Configure DNS
Mail routing is very dependent on DNS. If you don't have
dns configured properly, mail will not work as expected. You will need to get
DNS configured for each domain you want to collect mail for. For some helpful DNS links
have a look at my dns links.
Step 2: Configure MySQL
mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE vpopmail;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON vpopmail.* TO vpopmail@"mail.example.com" IDENTIFIED BY 'secret';
use vpopmail;
CREATE TABLE relay (
ip_addr char(18) NOT NULL default '',
timestamp char(12) default NULL,
name char(64) default NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (ip_addr)
) TYPE=ISAM PACK_KEYS=1;
quit;
mysql -u vpopmail -h db.example.com -p (get this working before you continue)
Adding Mail Domains
~vpopmail/bin/vadddomain example.com [password]
Supervise/Svscan Startup
/usr/local/src/toaster_setup.pl -s supervise
Set up logging dirs.
/usr/local/src/toaster_setup.pl -s maillogs
Fire up qmail
rehash
services start
What you should see in the process list:
# ps au
USER PID TT STAT STARTED TIME COMMAND
root 33322 p1 S 11:14PM 0:00.02 svscan
root 33323 p1 I 11:14PM 0:00.01 supervise send
root 33324 p1 I 11:14PM 0:00.01 supervise log
root 33325 p1 I 11:14PM 0:00.01 supervise smtp
root 33326 p1 I 11:14PM 0:00.01 supervise log
OK, now you're ready to have some real fun. Point a web browser at http://mail.example.com/cgi-bin/qmailadmin.
Log in with postmaster, example.com, and the test password. Add a user named "user". Time to send some email:
# mail user@example.com
Subject: test
test
.
# ls ~vpopmail/domains/example.com/user/Maildir/*
You should see a file in the new directory. If not, tail /var/log/maillog and figure out why.
Now we want to get our POP3-SSL and IMAP servers working. We can either reboot or start the servers manually:
imap start
pop3 start
imapssl start
pop3ssl start
Domain administrators can add/edit/delete users, mailing lists, autoresponders,
mail forwarding, and aliases by logging into the qmailadmin interface:
http://mail.example.com/cgi-bin/qmailadmin
https://mail.example.com/cgi-bin/qmailadmin
SYSTEM ADMIN stuff.
maildomain perl script - Front end to nearly everything you can do with the vpopmail programs.
Convert Multilog date stamps to human readable date stamps
# tai64nlocal < logfile > qmaillog.tmp
Statistics about your mail queue:
Feed your qmail-send output through matchup and pipe it through a stats
processor:
# /usr/local/qmailanalog/bin/matchup < /var/log/mail/send/current
| /usr/local/qmailanalog/bin/z*
where z* is one of the following
# zddist, zdeferrals, zfailures, zoverall, zrecipients, zrhosts, zrxdelay,
zsenders, zsuccesses, zsuids
Modify the HTML interface:
Sqwebmail: html temples live in /usr/local/share/sqwebmail/html/en-us/
qmailadmin: html templates live in /usr/local/share/qmailadmin/html/
Other Tweaks:
Sqwebmail Calendar: echo "local" > /usr/local/share/sqwebmail/calendarmode
