QMail and VPOPMAIL on RedHat 7.1

2001-06-20 Thread Darcy Pierlot




I'm a complete newbie to qmail who is so sick of sendmail's 
limitations =that I'm looking for alternatives. I've heard a lot of good 
things about =qmail but i wonder whether someone can point me to a well 
documented set =of instructions for installing qmail on redhat 7.1 without 
having lots =of conflicts.I would especially like qmail for it's 
VPOPMAIL addon that allows =virutal hosting. I am in the webhosting industry 
and this would be a big =advantage.Can someone help me out with 
this? I'm also relatively new to linux so =it would be perfect if the 
documentation/instructions weren't too over =my head... I'm not a newbie bu 
I haven't done anything really with =programming or some of that crazy 
C-syntax :) Some day soon i hope!ThanksDarcy

 I was in the same boat a few days ago.  I found the howto at
 http://www.flounder.net/qmail/qmail-howto.html most helpful.  The only
thing
 I missed was to either

 a) Get rid of xined all togheter
 b) Disable its services for POP, SMTP, IMAP

 I chose a) as I didn't want telnet or FTP anyway (at least for now).  The
 server is set up and happy, though I don't have it in full production yet
 (though that's for nontechnichal reasons).

 Honestly, getting bind up and running was much harder for me than qmail
 itself.
