I'm not new to *nix but this is my first go-round with mail systems. I'm
installing qmail on a Calera OpenLinux 2.2 (col 2.2.5) system and have
run into several show-stoppers.
Basically, I need qmail, smtp and pop3 for this to be any use to us. (40
internal users with pop clients, smtp relay to an external host for
Internet email.)
The first problem I have is I can't start the daemons -- Caldera does
not include "setuser", which is referenced in the qmail daemon start
scripts. Is there a work-around? Can I get setuser somewhere?
The second problem is with checkpassword. On compilation I get errors
regarding calls to the "crypt" library. The program appears to compile
but when I test it against a valid user/password combination using:
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup host /bin/checkpassword pwd
it exits with "-ERR authorization failed.
Exactly the same thing happens when I try to use the "checkvpw" utility
from the vmailmanager package. How do I solve this?
Another one: Our server has a dedicate connection to the 'net but does
not run its own DNS service. I searched the archives and found only one
not-too-helpful post on this issue. What do I need to do about DNS?
Thanks,
Barry Dwyer
