José Campos wrote: Where can I find a complete guide of installation and configuration of qmailtoaster on fedora 10 distro? Nobody has written a guide for Fedora 10 yet. You can use the guide for CentOS and substitute the CentOS portions for Fedora, or install using the following scripts in this order: (download all the scripts for Fedora 10 from qmailtoaster.com) fedora10-deps.sh fedora10-perl.sh fedora10-svcs.sh current-download-script.sh fedora_10-install-script.sh You will want to edit fedora10-svcs.sh and either enter your mysql root password or change the script to reflect what your current mysql root password is. Also note that the fedora10-svcs.sh script will install a firewall for you. If you do not want this, either do not download the firewall.sh script or comment that portion out in the script.

[qmailtoaster] I'm stuck while setting a Intranet mail server
Hello, I'm new to the list and new to Qmailtoaster, so, I'm sorry if I seem clueless. We recently bought a new server in my company for our database services, and the old one was laying there gathering dust. We decided to use it for some interesting services we have always considered, including Intranet mail and web services. We have CentOS 5.3, and we were ready to start. I followed the video tutorial (excellent idea, by the way), step by step. As we wanted a real Intranet mail server (no external mail send or receive access, only for internal messaging needs), I just left everything by default (hostname: APPSERVICES, manual IP config, no DMZ on routers whatsoever). I installed everything and after some tweaks I had to do (mainly in httpd.conf, squirrelmail.conf and toaster.conf includes didn't work for me, I had to rearrange the lines in the conf), everything went down hill. First of all, when I tried sending myself (datasys...@192.168.0.4) a test message (using squirrelmail), first I got something like sorry, sender email format invalid, so I thought that I had blew it and I reinstalled everything (even CentOS) and then now I'm getting 511 sorry, can't find a valid MX for sender domain (#5.1.1 - chkuser). I think it has something to do with DNS, however, I'm dead clueless about how to configure DNS... What's worst is that I need to install a DNS after this (so that the users can send mail without using the IP address: instead of datasys...@192.168.0.4, they could just write datasys...@appservices - remember, we don't want any external (gmail, hotmail, and so on) mail access).

[qmailtoaster] QmailToaster with LDAP
Hi, We currently authenticate our users with an LDAP server for different systems such as email and thin clients (LTSP). I would like to keep this same set up and not use a separate user database for QmailToaster, if possible. Most of our users use webmail, but there are around 20 that use an email client with POP3.

Thank you so much for your time, and sorry if I seem so lost, Juan Pablo Garcia Hernandez I imagined a DNS issue as you were describing your local-only implementation, so I'm not surprised you're hung up there. The toaster insists that every email receiving domain has a valid DNS MX record. I don't know of a way to turn that checking off, if there is one. I'm sure someone will chime in with how to do that if it's possible. The 'proper' solution is to set up a private DNS server for your local domain(s). This can be an extension of the caching-nameserver that your toaster should have installed, although it's not really important or necessary if you're doing strictly intra-domain email. There is a good description of how to set up a private DNS server with BIND in The Linux Cookbook by Carla Schroder (recipe #24.16, pages 510-515). This is an excellent reference for linux administrators that I highly recommend. Alternatively, you might google for a howto on the subject. It's not really difficult, but doing so that it works correctly can be a little tricky.

Re: [qmailtoaster] I'm stuck while setting a Intranet mail server
Hi Eric, Thanks for the prompt reply. Well, I have read everything you said, and thank God I found a copy of Linux Cookbook in my local library. Such a nice book, by the way, (even if I have to return it tomorrow). I'll be trying the DNS approach described in the book tomorrow. Let's hope it solves everything (but I have to reinstall CentOS by the way, just to be on the safe side). Also, I created the domain with vadddomain (remarked in step by step Wiki Installation article). I haven't checked the rcpthosts and virtualdomains files, so I'm not sure (and my VPN connection is failing awfully). Anyway, thanks for your help. I'll be updating you about my findings, and I'm going to document the problem I had with httpd.conf, as I find it quite interesting: if I left the Include squirrelmail.conf and Include qmail.conf lines in the end of the file (as the automated scripts do), Apache HTTPD doesn't recognize any of the aliases declared there. I have to cut and paste them under the Include *.conf line. By the way, the wiki is such a life saver... I almost blocked access to our local Apache Tomcat server by leaving firewall.sh uncommented.

We decided to use it for some interesting services we have always considered, including Intranet mail and web services. We have CentOS 5.3, and we were ready to start. I followed the video tutorial (excellent idea, by the way), step by step. As we wanted a real Intranet mail server (no external mail send or receive access, only for internal messaging needs), I just left everything by default (hostname: APPSERVICES, manual IP config, no DMZ on routers whatsoever). I installed everything and after some tweaks I had to do (mainly in httpd.conf, squirrelmail.conf and toaster.conf includes didn't work for me, I had to rearrange the lines in the conf), everything went down hill. First of all, when I tried sending myself (datasys...@192.168.0.4) a test message (using squirrelmail), first I got something like sorry, sender email format invalid, so I thought that I had blew it and I reinstalled everything (even CentOS) and then now I'm getting 511 sorry, can't find a valid MX for sender domain (#5.1.1 - chkuser). I think it has something to do with DNS, however, I'm dead clueless about how to configure DNS... What's worst is that I need to install a DNS after this (so that the users can send mail without using the IP address: instead of datasys...@192.168.0.4, they could just write datasys...@appservices - remember, we don't want any external (gmail, hotmail, and so on) mail access). Thank you so much for your time, and sorry if I seem so lost, Juan Pablo Garcia Hernandez You know, now that I think about it a bit, why does the toaster insist on a valid MX record for local domans? It shouldn't really need it. Does the domain in question exist in /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts and /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains ? How did you create the domains, with /home/vpopmail/bin/vadddomain or vqadmin? vqadmin unfortunately is broken, so you might want to try deleting the domain and recreating it with the CLI vadddomain command. Not sure if that will fix you up or not though. -- -Eric 'shubes' - Qmailtoaster is sponsored by Vickers Consulting Group (www.vickersconsulting.com) Vickers Consulting Group offers Qmailtoaster support and installations.

Re: [qmailtoaster] QmailToaster with LDAP
If I may add... that if QMT wants to make the jump to the corporate arena, LDAP is a necessity. - Qmailtoaster is sponsored by Vickers Consulting Group (www.vickersconsulting.com) Vickers Consulting Group offers Qmailtoaster support and installations.

I guess it'd be a matter of mapping the database schemas together somehow. If the schemas could not be merged together (a good chance of that I expect, as the vpopmail database isn't normalized well at all), worse case scenario would be having to run a process periodically that maps one schema (probably ldap) on to the other (probably vpopmail). In that way, you could share authentication data like John is looking to do.

[qmailtoaster] Web Interface not working
I have screwed up the web parts of my toaster while trying to set up a virtual http domain for one of my other companies. After realizing the virtual domain was causing a problem accessing the default http server, I deleted the virtual server. Now, when I try to access /webmail, /qmailadmin, and /admin-toaster/ my server returns a 'Not Found' error. When I type in the FQDN for the default server web page, I get the Apache test page, so I know it is serving pages. I can even get to the web page for the domain I was adding by using the FQDN for the default domain and adding /myotherdomainfolder. The only thing other than trying to add another virtual domain that I have changed on the server was the addition of an FTP server so that I could upload the webpage files from my desktop system as I completed them. The FTP server seems to be functioning normally, and did not appear to affect any of the config settings for the HTTP server. Can someone please help or at least tell me where to look? I don't really have an understanding of how the web components for Squirrelmain and Qmail Admin interact with the HTTP server, so I really need some step by step troubleshooting help. Thanks, J.T.
