Previously I stumbled my way through a qmailtoaster install, and now I
have to do a fresh install on a RHEL 6.4 box. I see qmailtoaster-plus
is the new way to do things, but I don't know how to include the
install-time tweaks I made in the past.
For one I will need to tweak the chkuser configuration. In the past
this was done by pausing the build and editing the settings file (per
http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com/index.php/Chkuser). How will I tweak the
chkuser config when using QTP?
Same way, for the most part. The build gets done in a chroot environment
though, so you'd need to chroot into it in order to change the sources.
I think it might be simpler to build your own srpm with the modified
sources. Then put your rpm in /usr/src/qtp-upgrade/SRPMS/ and
qtp-newmodel will use it.
You're likely not to need to do this though. Which settings were you
having to tweak? The stock settings work for just about everyone now,
including many special characters for various things including
blackberries (are people still using those?). ;) Here are the current
stock settings regarding special characters:
#define CHKUSER_ALLOW_SENDER_CHAR_1 '$'
#define CHKUSER_ALLOW_SENDER_CHAR_2 '%'
#define CHKUSER_ALLOW_SENDER_CHAR_3 '/'
#define CHKUSER_ALLOW_SENDER_CHAR_4 '?'
#define CHKUSER_ALLOW_SENDER_CHAR_5 '*'
#define CHKUSER_ALLOW_SENDER_CHAR_6 '^'
#define CHKUSER_ALLOW_SENDER_CHAR_7 '~'
#define CHKUSER_ALLOW_SENDER_CHAR_8 '&'
#define CHKUSER_ALLOW_SENDER_CHAR_9 '#'
#define CHKUSER_ALLOW_SENDER_CHAR_10 '='
And secondly the srs-qt-0.5 patch included in qmailtoaster has a serious
bug and we need at least the 0.6 patch. In the past I did this by
manually installing the SRPMs, tweaking the spec, and rebuilding the
binary RPMs. How do I do this using QTP?
That's not the patch which is presently being used. Here's the srs patch
which QMT uses now:
Marcelo Coelho - qmail-srs-0.4.patch
http://opensource.mco2.net/qmail/srs/
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
The stock packages aren't quite ready for COS6 yet (I am working on it),
but there's no reason QMT can't be run on COS6. In fact, Dan has written
a script to aid in the installation process, which is available on this
list's archives:

For migrating from your old to your new server, qtp-backup and
qtp-restore are recommended. Depending on the amount of mail you have to
migrate, you might want to rsync the maildirs again after the initial
migration to bring things current. Also, be sure to use the latest
qtp-restore that's in the svn repo on the QTP web site, as it's been
modified for COS6 but the corresponding qmailtoaster-plus package
including COS6 support hasn't been cut yet.
That's all that comes to mind right now. Let us know how you make out.
P.S. Just curious to know, which version is your old QMT?
