LINUX + NETQMAIL 1.6 + Patches + MYSQL + VPOPMAIL + VQADMIN + QMAILADMIN + COURIER-IMAP + SQUIRRELMAIL, SIMSCAN + CLAM ANTIVIRUS + SPAMASSASSIN + SASQL Plugin


I wrote this Qmail blog for couple of reasons, First (according to my needs) existing guides does not provide a complete solution, my qmail learning is tough and my first complete qmail installation is such a pain. Great resources in internet for qmail contributions make my life lot easier. I have installed my qmail system with the following features. The below procedure works better for my environment and has no guarantee.

I'm assuming that Apache web server and PHP and Mysql are installed, configured and fully operational on the machine you are installing qmail on.



Prepare, Patch and Install and Qmail


Now we are going to install Qmail from downloaded sources. We'll apply some necessary patches to Qmail, to make sure that the solution we are going to implement works perfectly.

First, we untar qmail and change directory to qmail sources. Then, we apply the needed patches to Qmail.



# cd /usr/src/qmail

# tar zxvf /downloads/netqmail-1.06.tar.gz

# mkdir /downloads/patches

# cd /downloads/patches

# wget http://www.memoryhole.net/qmail/patch-qmail-1.03-rfc2821.diff

# wget http://www.memoryhole.net/qmail/smtpd-502-to-500.patch

# wget http://www.memoryhole.net/qmail/any-to-cname.patch

# wget http://www.memoryhole.net/qmail/qmail-103.patch

# wget http://www.memoryhole.net/qmail/qmail-smtpd-relay-reject

# wget http://www.memoryhole.net/qmail/rfc1870.diff

# wget http://www.memoryhole.net/qmail/netqmail-1.05-tls-20060104.patch

# wget http://inoa.net/qmail-tls/netqmail-1.05-tls-20070408.patch

# wget http://inoa.net/qmail-tls/qmail-tls-check_certs

# wget http://www.memoryhole.net/qmail/qmail-smtpd-viruscan-1.3.patch

# wget http://www.memoryhole.net/qmail/qmail-smtpd-rcptcheck.patch

# wget http://www.memoryhole.net/qmail/greylist.sh

# wget http://www.memoryhole.net/qmail/qmail-1.03-maildir-uniq.patch

# wget http://www.memoryhole.net/qmail/qmail-remote.sh



# mkdir –p /var/qmail

# mkdir /usr/src/qmail




 



Create Qmail Users and Groups



The easiest way to create the  necessary users and groups is to create a little script file
to do it for you. In the source directory you'll find a file called INSTALL.ids.It contains 
the command lines for many platforms,so  copying the file to another name and editing that 
is quick and easy.


#   cd  /usr/local/src/netqmail-1.06


#    cp INSTALL.ids IDS



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


#   groupadd  nofiles 



#   useradd qmaild -g nofiles -d /var/qmail -s  /nonexistent 



#   useradd alias -g nofiles -d /var/qmail/alias  -s /nonexistent 



#   useradd  qmaill -g nofiles -d /var/qmail -s /nonexistent 



#   useradd qmailp -g nofiles -d /var/qmail -s  /nonexistent 



#   groupadd qmail 



#   useradd qmailq -g qmail -d /var/qmail -s  /nonexistent 



#   useradd qmailr -g qmail -d /var/qmail -s  /nonexistent




#   useradd  qmails -g qmail -d /var/qmail -s /nonexistent 




#   chmod 700 IDS 



#    ./IDS   



When the script finishes, all of  your users and groups will be  created and you can go on to the next section.




 
Vpopmail User creation




#   groupadd vchkpw 



#   useradd -g vchkpw -d /home/vpopmail -s  /sbin/nologin -p'*'  vpopmail

These  patches all work on netqmail, which you should be using  anyway. netqmail is a  convenient packaging of some of the patches that  have cropped up as being very  important. It is not officially the same  thing as qmail, but is a convenience  packaging of qmail. For more  information, go here. 



One  final note, some of these patches conflict (or seems to) with  other patches,  and resolving them would not be difficult. Check for  .rej files extension on  the original files name and correct the errors  on the original files.



Installing Ucspi-tcp and Daemon tools                       



#   cd  /path/to/ucspi-tcp-0.88 



#    patch <   /usr/src/qmail/netqmail-1.06/other-patches/ucspi-tcp-0.88.errno.patch 



#    patch <   /usr/src/qmail/netqmail-1.06/other-patches/ucspi-tcp-0.88.a_record.patch 



#    patch <   /usr/src/qmail/netqmail-1.06/other-patches/ucspi-tcp-0.88.nodefaultrbl.patch 



#   make 



#   make  setup check



Daemontools:



#   cd  /package/admin/daemontools-0.76/src 



#    patch <   /usr/src/qmail/netqmail-1.06/other-patches/daemontools-0.76.errno.patch 



#   cd  .. 



#    package/install



 



If no  errors are reported, you've successfully compiled the  daemontools package!



If you run take a look at the running processes on your  server  at this point, you should see the daemon "svscanboot" running.  You can  usually do this with a "ps -aux" command.
