INSTALLING VPOPMAIL

Download the source

• qmail, http://www.qmail.org/netqmail-1.06.tar.gz
• ucspi-tcp, http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp/ucspi-tcp-0.88.tar.gz
• daemontools, http://cr.yp.to/daemontools/daemontools-0.76.tar.gz

Retrieve these files using your web browser, web client (e.g., wget), or FTP client.

Build the source

• At a command line prompt, type cc and press Enter:

$ cc
    cc: No input files specified
    $

 If no install gcc 

 using  # yum install gcc

Unpack the distribution

At this time you probably want to become root, if you're not already.

su
    umask 022
    mkdir -p /usr/local/src
    mv netqmail-1.06.tar.gz ucspi-tcp-0.88.tar.gz /usr/local/src
    mkdir -p /package
    mv daemontools-0.76.tar.gz /package
    chmod 1755 /package

Now you can unpack the packages.

cd /usr/local/src
    gunzip netqmail-1.06.tar.gz
    tar xpf netqmail-1.06.tar
    gunzip ucspi-tcp-0.88.tar.gz
    tar xpf ucspi-tcp-0.88.tar
    rm *.tar      # optional, unless space is very tight
    cd /package
    gunzip daemontools-0.76.tar.gz
    tar xpf daemontools-0.76.tar
    rm *.tar      # optional, again

There should now be directories called /usr/local/src/netqmail-1.06, /usr/local/src/ucspi-tcp-0.88, and /package/admin/daemontools-0.76.

Create directories

#mkdir /var/qmail

#cd /usr/local/src/netqmail-1.06
 #cp INSTALL.ids IDS

Then, using your favorite editor, remove all of the file except the lines you want. For example, here's what IDS would look like for FreeBSD after editing:

pw groupadd nofiles
    pw useradd qmaild -g nofiles -d /var/qmail -s /nonexistent
    pw useradd alias -g nofiles -d /var/qmail/alias -s /nonexistent
    pw useradd qmaill -g nofiles -d /var/qmail -s /nonexistent
    pw useradd qmailp -g nofiles -d /var/qmail -s /nonexistent
    pw groupadd qmail
    pw useradd qmailq -g qmail -d /var/qmail -s /nonexistent
    pw useradd qmailr -g qmail -d /var/qmail -s /nonexistent
    pw useradd qmails -g qmail -d /var/qmail -s /nonexistent

Then to run it, either use chmod to make it executable or run it with sh:

chmod 700 IDS
    ./IDS

Do the build

make setup check

./config

./config-fast the.full.hostname

./config-fast dolphin.example.com

Install ucspi-tcp

cd /usr/local/src/ucspi-tcp-0.88

patch < /usr/local/src/netqmail-1.06/other-patches/ucspi-tcp-0.88.errno.patch
    make
    make setup check

cd /package/admin/daemontools-0.76

cd src
    patch < /usr/local/src/netqmail-1.06/other-patches/daemontools-0.76.errno.patch
    cd ..
    package/install

System start-up files

This is accomplished by creating a startup/shutdown script like the following in /var/qmail/bin/qmailctl:

#!/bin/sh

This script is available via http://lifewithqmail.org/qmailctl-script-dt70.
Create the script using your editor or by downloading it with your web browser (recommended).
Make the qmailctl script executable and link it to a directory in your path:

chmod 755 /var/qmail/bin/qmailctl
    ln -s /var/qmail/bin/qmailctl /usr/bin

2.8.2.2. The supervise scripts

Now create the supervise directories for the qmail services:

mkdir -p /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-send/log
    mkdir -p /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/log

Create the /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-send/run file:

#!/bin/sh
exec /var/qmail/rc

Create the /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-send/log/run file:

#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/setuidgid qmaill /usr/local/bin/multilog t /var/log/qmail

Create the /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run file:

#!/bin/sh

QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaild`
NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild`
MAXSMTPD=`cat /var/qmail/control/concurrencyincoming`
LOCAL=`head -1 /var/qmail/control/me`

if [ -z "$QMAILDUID" -o -z "$NOFILESGID" -o -z "$MAXSMTPD" -o -z "$LOCAL" ]; then
    echo QMAILDUID, NOFILESGID, MAXSMTPD, or LOCAL is unset in
    echo /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run
    exit 1
fi

if [ ! -f /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts ]; then
    echo "No /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts!"
    echo "Refusing to start SMTP listener because it'll create an open relay"
    exit 1
fi

exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 2000000 \
    /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -l "$LOCAL" -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c "$MAXSMTPD" \
        -u "$QMAILDUID" -g "$NOFILESGID" 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1
