Hi,
I am currently setting up a new machine for my
Webhosting(forwarding)-Service. Since I have heard a lot about qmail I
would like to use it as MTA on this machine.
I did read some docs on www.qmail.org but since I need some non-standart
stuff I don't exactly know where to start. It would be nice if you could
give me some advice in what direction I should head. I promise, I'll rtfm,
but it is always good if someone with a lot of knowledge of a program
tells you where to start and what to look at.
Here's a list of what I need:
- virtual domains support. (I'm planning on hosting over 2000 Domains on
this machine. Yes, the number is correct - most of the domains are
simple forwarders without webspace)
- an easy way to make email-forwarders (you'll probably hit me but I like
the sendmail virtusertable a lot - is there some equivalent for this in
qmail ? I'm not talking about local aliases).
- pop3 boxes that do not require one unix-user per popbox
- quota-support for the pop3-boxes (seperate for every box)
- accounting. I need to know which domain causes how much traffic per day
(I'll probably need to write a little script for this myself but where
should I integrate it into qmail ?)
I currently have all the customer-data in a SQL-Database (forwarders/pop3
account for all domains etc. etc.), directly interfacing with it would be
the best solution but generating configuration/forwarding files from it
periodically would be ok also.
How can I make QMail do all of the things above ? Please point me into the
right direction :-)
Thanks for you help,
Jochen Tuchbreiter
