RE: [qmailtoaster] Fetchmail install and configure on qmailtoaster system
Apologies to the group – my outlook took eric’s email and applied the group address to it. My bad (would belong on the developer group anyway!) Dan From: Dan McAllister - QMT DNS Admin [mailto:q...@it4soho.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 8, 2016 3:41 PM To: qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com Subject: RE: [qmailtoaster] Fetchmail install and configure on qmailtoaster system Eric: I took a moment today and looked over your install scripts for QMT on COS 6 and noted you had a way to switch between BIND & Daniel’s DJBDNS… to that end, I have some thoughts. (I’m assuming you and I – and hopefully a 3rd – can start moving forward on re-setting this project in a forward motion!) The use/presence of a DNS “server” in a QMT “server” was an issue Shubes and I went around and around on – the gist (from my perspective) being that we (as-in the QMT service) don’t need a DNS “server” so-to-speak, rather we need a fast and efficient DNS “resolver”. Along those lines, my default COS 6 install uses PowerDNS (pdns-recursor from EPEL), and I’ve found it to be REMARKABLY fast and light-weight. I have a NUMBER of config settings I think you might agree make sense to be defaults. Here are some examples: - qmail-smtp on port 25 uses spamdyke to REMOVE SMTPAUTH (so users CANNOT submit mail on port 25) - qmail-smtp on port 587 is ENABLED by default, and ALLOWS encryption and REQUIRES login (SMTPAUTH) - qmail-smtp on port 465 is ENABLED by default, and REQUIRES both SMTPAUTH and encryption - POP and IMAP are enabled by default, but ONLY on the SSL ports (993 & 993). - I install and enable BOTH squirrelmail (mail.domain.com) AND roundcube (webmail.domain.com) by default NOTE: I still use COURIER IMAP – tho I’m trying to get into DoveCot on my next system.
