I have no previous experience with configuring Qmail
(nor Sendmail, or any other MTA). I just made an fresh
install of OpenBSD 2.7, and installed Qmail 1.03 from
the ports collection.
My questions are:
- since I haven't configured sendmail at all, is there any need
to deinstall sendmail straight away?
- could anyone walk me through the very basic steps for configuring
qmail with the following?
* dial-on-demand connection
* fetchmail as the POP3 retrieval agent
* procmail as the MDA
* mbox/maildir style mailboxes with mutt
* while I will usually connect to one isp, I'd like to send and
receive mail from other accounts on other isps (while connected
only to one isp)
I just ran ./config-fast, but my first doubt was whether I should
put my_machine_name.my_isp.dom, or just my_isp.dom
Other doubts arose through the documentation, as most (or all) seems
to refer to configuring big (servers) places or the such, with their
own DNS and domains.
If you think my questions are too basic/general for this list,
please direct me to the right place where I can find some easy and
straight forward documentation to read.
(I'm not subscribed, so please reply to this address in private or
send me a CC:).
TIA,
