Hi !
I am new to qmail and also to Linux admin (somewhat). I am running RH
6.0 on a P-133 machine with 64MB RAM.
My scenario is single machine with a dial up TCP IP link with my ISP
and multiple users. I wish to map all users to my email address
([EMAIL PROTECTED]); i.e., all non local mail. I had earlier tried this
with sendmail but had failed. Later I wish to use procmail to "multiplex" my
account (i.e., the incoming mail is divided into different users mailboxes
based on some filtering criteria.
Before you start wondering, I am using kmail (KDE) to send this email.
It does not serve my design. So I want the above improvements.
I tried to install qmail :
1) I have shadow-utils and bind-utils.
2) I installed packages :
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 41109 Aug 3 17:07 daemontools-0.53-16.i386.rpm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1811 Aug 3 17:05 functions-2-1.i386.rpm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 394897 Aug 4 00:43 qmail-1.03-14ucspi.i386.rpm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 69017 Aug 3 17:09 ucspi-tcp-0.84-1.i386.rpm
3) I got the following error after I tried to install qmail-1.03-14ucspi.i386.rpm
:

Your hostname is localhost.localdomain.
soft error
Sorry, I couldn't find your host's canonical name in DNS.
You will have to set up control/me yourself.
set qmail-smtpd.cdb file for tcpserver ...
Creating tcprules file for qmail-smtpd...
Please look at /etc/tcprules.d/qmail-smtpd
and see if this is what you want in a tcprules file.
If you do not understand what is going on
read the man pages for tcprules and tcpserver.
Also, read the qmail FAQ 5.4, but note
the files must be in /etc/tcprules.d
instead of /etc, and they are named qmail-smtpd*
instead of tcp.smtp* .
Please run '/etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail.init start'
and '/etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail-smtpd.init start'
(or '/etc/rc.d/init.d/rblsmtpd.init start' if you run
rblsmtpd) to start Qmail. Qmail will be started in
run levels 3, 4 or 5 when machine is (re)booted.
--------------------------------------------------------------
There seems to be some problem with my DNS. Since I am a relative rookie at
Linux administration, I would appreciate any help.
bye,
Madhusudan Singh.
