Not for the faint of heart
I have been wrestling with a new install of Qmail for over a week now on a Linux box I use as a front end to my internal OS X LAN and I can tell you - it is defintely not for the fain of heart. The installation is fairly straightforward assuming you follow printed instuctions. Thats not the problem as much as the configuration is. There are numerous config files, etc scattered throughout and they all have to be modified per installation. On top of that there are VOLUMES of information on the subject - so much so that its impossible to take it all in and get a good grasp on the subject. I finally got my install working using virtual domains - which is actually what I wanted anyway since I am using a dyndns address on a static cable modem acct. That part works great - but I stil haven't managed to get it to simply deliver mail to the local users (e.g. root, etc.). If you wish to continue after heeding the warnings of "complex install ahead" - there are two great resources of info (albeit voluminous):
Not for the faint of heart
I actually managed to get my local users working now - using the WebMin interface. I much prefer the hardcore terminal editing - but I must have been missing something - as tinkering with it in Webmin fixed it up. I am not sure I actually have it working properly as I have it delivering to a virtual domain setup for the machine (dyndns address)via aliases for teh local users, eg root. It works though. |
