I now seem to have qmail set up to do just about all I want, the
'holdremote' patch is sending non-local mail when the PPP connection
comes up, using tcpserver to set RELAYCLIENT is allowing other
machines on the locla network to send mail.
However I have one final little question (final - ha, ha!), what
permissions does qmail require on users' home directories? I know
there are some requirements but I tried grepping for just about all
the relevant words I could think of in qmail's doc directory and
couldn't find anything to tell me what I wanted.
The problem is that the easiest way to set up Samba shares here on the
local LAN is to allow writing to anywhere on /home, this avoid having
to synchronise Windows logins with Unix user logins and so on. Since
we're a small friendly (!?) family security isn't a problem and having
write enabled everywhere often simplifies things. However qmail
objects, is there any way around this? The simplest answer may well
be to set up a special mail user for each of us which just has the
Maildir directory and nothing else. Does anyone have any better
ideas?
