I seem to be having a bit of trouble getting qmail to recognize e-amil sent to
my virtual domains. Here is what I've done so far...
1. Install Qmail 1.03 from binary rpm.
2. create popuser account/group
in /etc/passwd> popuser:x:888:888:POP E-Mail User:/var/qmail:/bin/true
in /etc/group> popuser:x:888:
3. created popboxes hierarchy, /var/qmail/popboxes/domain-com/users, all
owned by popuser, in group popuser, all chmoded 0755.
4. created Maildirs in each e-mail account using maildirmk, chmoded 0755.
5. created .qmail files in each e-mail account containing "./Maildir/",
chmoded 0744.
6. created vitrual domains in ~control/virtualdomains
domain.com:domain-com
etc...
7. added domain.com to ~control/rcpthosts
8. added e-mail accounts to ~users/assign
=domain-com-user:popuser:888:888:/var/qmail/popboxes/domain-com/user:::
I don't want any email going to [EMAIL PROTECTED], so there's no need
to create an email user +domain-com:popuser..., right?
I can email to an account with "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" but not with
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" which is the point of the whole exercise. This is with the MX
set to mail.domain.com and mail being an alias to the canonical name
me.domain.com.
When everything's working right, I'll just change the alias from
oldmail.domain.com to me.domain.com. There a problem with my DNS usage?
The POP3 system is working perfectly, and I have /etc/tcprules.d/qmail-smtpd
set up to allow my customers to mail out and everyone else to mail in, but not
allow others to relay through me.
I am having trouble getting mailer-daemon, postmaster, and root to be properly
delivered to my maintenance account, [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have the ~alias/.qmail
files set up to deliver to ./operator/Maildir/ and in ~alias I have a symbolic
link of operator -> /home/me, chmoded 0755 and I can receive mail as
[EMAIL PROTECTED] just fine, but mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] fails with a
"Temporary error on maildir delivery (#4.3.0)".
my control files are like as follows:
defaultdomain:
domain.com
defaulthost: <- any ideas as to how to have the default host change for each
domain.com <- virtual domain?
locals:
localhost
me.domain.com
domain.com
domain.net
me:
me.domain.com
plusdomain: <- exactly what is this control file used for again?
domain.com
domain.net
rcpthosts:
localhost
me.domain.com
domain.com
domain.net
virtualdomains:
domain.com:domain-com
domain.net:domain-net
I'll be adding several other virtual domains once the system is up and
running, i.e. domain.net, etc.
Anyone care to write man pages for each control file? To call the existing
documentation for them paltry would be generous.
