Getting started
===============
Assuming NetBSD-style mailwrapper(8) and rc(8), to enable qmail for...
Local and outbound delivery:
- Run "@RCD_SCRIPTS_DIR@/postfix stop" and set postfix=NO in /etc/rc.conf.
- Replace /etc/mailer.conf with @PREFIX@/share/examples/qmail-run/mailer.conf.
- Check configuration in @PKG_SYSCONFDIR@ (especially alias/.qmail-*).
- Set qmailsend=YES and qmailqread=YES in /etc/rc.conf.
- Run "@RCD_SCRIPTS_DIR@/qmail start".
Incoming SMTP on port 25:
- Set qmailsmtpd=YES in /etc/rc.conf.
- Add any qmail-rcptcheck programs to control/rcptchecks.
- Add any qmail-qfilter programs to control/smtpfilters.
- Add any qmail-spp programs (such as greylisting) to control/smtpplugins.
- Run "@RCD_SCRIPTS_DIR@/qmailsmtpd start".
Greylisting:
- Add any exempt recipient addresses to control/greylist/exemptrcpts.
- Add any exempt recipient domains to control/greylist/exemptrcpthosts.
- Tuples are (IP,sender,recipient). To effectively omit IP, add
GL_WRAPPER_TCPREMOTEIP="127.127.127.127" to control/tcprules/smtp,
then run "@RCD_SCRIPTS_DIR@/qmailsmtpd cdb".
- Uncomment "greylisting-spp-wrapper" in control/smtpplugins.
Authenticated message submission on port 587:
- Set qmailofmipd=YES in /etc/rc.conf.
- Add any qmail-qfilter programs to control/ofmipfilters.
- Run "@RCD_SCRIPTS_DIR@/qmailofmipd start".
POP3 (for Maildirs only) on port 110:
- Set qmailpop3d=YES in /etc/rc.conf.
- Run "@RCD_SCRIPTS_DIR@/qmailpop3d start".
TLS encryption for SMTP, submission, POP3, and remote delivery:
- Create cert and DH params (see @PREFIX@/share/doc/qmail/README.tls).
- Run "@RCD_SCRIPTS_DIR@/qmail restart".
Sender Policy Framework:
- Configure Sender Rewriting Scheme (see @PREFIX@/share/doc/qmail/README.srs)
so your auto-forwarded messages will reach servers that choose to
enforce the forwarded domains' SPF policies.
- Publish a DNS TXT record with your desired policy.
- Incoming messages that explicit-fail published policy are nonetheless
accepted. To reject -- including rejecting auto-forwarded messages
from servers that haven't configured SRS -- add
SPP_SPF_RESULT_FAIL="E550 spf_smtp_msg" to control/tcprules/smtp,
then run "@RCD_SCRIPTS_DIR@/qmailsmtpd cdb".
- Messages that explicit-pass are not greylisted. To remove the
exemption, remove SPP_SPF_RESULT_PASS="SGL_WHITELISTED=1" from
control/tcprules/smtp, then run "@RCD_SCRIPTS_DIR@/qmailsmtpd cdb".
Getting help
============
You've installed an automated and customized qmail-run package. If
you're having trouble getting the qmail daemons to run, ask the
package's maintainer:
<URL:mailto:schmonz-pkgsrc-qmail@schmonz.com>
Many members of the qmail mailing list recommend following the
install instructions in Dave Sill's "Life with qmail" document:
<URL:http://www.lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html>
A "Life with qmail" installation is done by hand, so any qmail
package necessarily deviates from LWQ in at least this respect.
Therefore, if you need to ask for help on the qmail list, please
mention that you're using the qmail-run package from pkgsrc.
If you can first reproduce your problem on a manual LWQ-style
installation, your request for help is likely to be better received.
It is highly recommended that you read Charles Cazabon's "12 Steps
to qmail List Bliss" before posting to the list:
<URL:http://pyropus.ca/personal/writings/12-steps-to-qmail-list-bliss.html>
Deviations from LWQ
===================
LWQ suggests doing some things that the qmail-run package doesn't do:
* Copying a script from /var/qmail/boot to /var/qmail/rc.
* Configuring svscan(8) to run at boot.
* Creating and/or populating /service.
* Using supervise(8) and multilog(8).
* Using the qmailctl script to control qmail.
* Using the inst_check script to verify the installation.
* Storing tcp.smtp{,cdb} in /etc.
* Renaming the system sendmail(8) and marking it non-executable.
Instead, the qmail-run package:
* Provides NetBSD-style rc.d scripts, including one very similar to qmailctl.
* Sends log messages to syslog(3) by default.
* Stores tcprules in @PKG_SYSCONFDIR@/control/tcprules.
* Uses mailwrapper(8) and mailer.conf(5).
