I have installed VMailMgr on my system but I can't quite figure out how to
get the daemon up and running using svc. I'm on an OpenBSD2.9 system and all
the instruction I have found are for Linux and it's rc.d files and svc-start
options.
Can anyone tell me how to set up vmailmgr with svs so
I think I have qmail up and running after following the instructions in lwq.
I am now trying the tests in TEST.deliver.
However I get an error at the first test, local-local delivery/

Yes. Have you read
INSTALL.mbox
INSTALL.vsm
and INSTALL.maildir?
Just read those three documents and none of them say that I *have* to do
anything. Seems mostly like recommendation on what to do if you want to keep
using /var/spool/mail or to configure
My original plan was to install qmail - VMailMgr - Courrier-IMAP. But after
a little reading I find out that Courrier-IMAP has it own email server
implementation. So it seems that qmail is not needed?
Am I right? If so what are the advantages/disadvantages to either using
qmail with the
Going through the qmail installation instruction is lwq. Section 2.8.3
describes how to remove sendmail. At the end of the section it says I must
create some symlinks for the old sendmail to /var/qmail/bin/sendmail.
However the instructions give locations for sendmail that don't quite work

This one can stay. chmod u-s it for security.

This one needs to become a symlink.
Ok.
Are you sure there is nothing in /usr/sbin/sendmail?
There is. Missed it. Should it be a symlink too?
I've done the lwq installation. As a test I have tried to telnet from my
mail server to itself on port 25 to see if qmail is listening. But I get a
connection refused message.
I've enable telnet in inetd.conf and my /etc/tcp.smtp file looks like this:

I can tell you now that, from
your ps output, qmail is not running. If it was, there would be a
tcpserver running as well, listening to port 25 and spawning
qmail-smtpd
After finally getting qmail to work last night and at the suggestion of some
posters I've decided to re-do my installation. I've re-installed the OS
(OpendBSD 2.9) and started from scratch again, trying to follow lwq as
closely as possible.
I'm at the daemontools install step and have a

You most definately can use qmail for this.
Great!
Let me be honest with you though.. There are some tough cookies on the

I beg to differ. OpenBSD is quite fine (DJB himself certainly does not use
it for no good reason, eh?) and it has everything you need
First off please excuse the obviously-I-have-no-knowledge level of this

I have been charged with installing a mail server at our office. Luckily for

OpenBSD 2.9 and qmail 1.03.
