I just started using qmail 1.03 a week ago too, I
have had some problems with it,
and I've not found in the FAQ the solutions for these problems.
Qmail is using postgres to authenticate the users.
The authentications is working
well.
I used checkpassword daemon to connect in the database
and authenticate the
users.
My problems are with SMTP. I installed the "qmail-1_03.tgz"
package in a
FreeBSD 3.4 Box. When I send a message for a local user, this
message doesn't
get in the mailbox. And the qmail-send answer me that the mailbox doesn't
exist, but
the mailbox exist, and it is with the right permissions. I use qmail
with maildir option.
The domain is in the locals, me and rcpthosts files.
I've started pop3 and smtp in the inetd.conf file
with the follow lines:
pop3 stream tcp nowait root /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup
qmail-popup ab.com.br /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir
smtp stream tcp nowait qmaild /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env
tcp-env /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
I use the shell script in the /usr/local/etc/rc.d/qmaild.sh with the follow lines:
#!/bin/sh
# Using splogger to send the log through syslog.
# Using qmail-local to deliver messages to ~/Mailbox
by default.
exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \
qmail-start ./Maildir splogger qmail &
Another thing is when I send a message from the local
network to other domains,
it answers me that these domains aren't in the rcpthosts files, but
it's is very strange!!!
Can you imagine if I put in the rcpthosts
files whole the domains that exist in the
Internet networking?
I understood that the rcpthosts file is to avoid
spam from the other networks,
and not to filter the destination addresses.
If you could help me about it I would thank.
Regards Cleiton.
