qmail-conf 0.53 is now available through
http://pobox.com/~tu/qmail-conf/install.html
qmail-conf is a collection of tools for setting up various
qmail services. They are like *-conf programs in djbdns.
With qmail-conf, for example, setting up a minimal SMTP
service takes the following four steps:
qmail-smtpd-conf qmaild qmaill /var/qmail/service/smtpd
cd /var/qmail/service/smtpd
make
ln -s /var/qmail/service/smtpd /service
qmail-conf assumes that (recent versions of) daemontools and
ucspi-tcp have already been installed. It also assumes that
svscan is already running.
qmail-conf tries to provide reasonable defaults: it avoids
DNS reverse lookups; it avoids IDENT lookups; it lets TCP
connection attempts be logged with multilog; and for POP3
and QMQP, connection attempts are denied unless you
explicitly authorize your clients.
qmail-conf reduces the need for editing ./run scripts by
using envdir. For example, to raise the concurrency limit
for the SMTP connection to 100, all you have to do is:
echo 100 > /service/smtpd/env/CONCURRENCY
svc -t /service/smtpd
qmail-conf does _not_ help you set up /var/qmail/alias,
/var/qmail/control, /var/qmail/rc, and /var/qmail/users.
