New guide for Fedora 13

[David Donnelly]

Hi all, Just wondering if qmailrocks will ever return, is it dead or is
someone replacing it?



I have written a step by step installation guide to install Qmail on Fedora
13. It will install the following:

Qmail - patched with John Simpsons latest 7.10 patch

Ucspi-tcp

Daemontools

Ezmlm-idx

Autoresponder

Vpopmail-5.4.30 with onchange

Mkvalidrcptto and Mkauth

Maildrop

Dovecot

Ucspi-ssl

Clamav

Spamassassin

Qmail-scanner

Qmailadmin

Vqadmin

Squirrelmail



I wrote the guide for myself but others may also want to look at it. It's a
24 page document with 21 steps in all. It's fairly detailed but not on
everything. I'm certain it can be improved upon and I will openly welcome
constructive comments.



I do not know the correct protocol for this - should I first send the guide
to John Simpson for review -as a lot of the info (such as scripts) for the
install is from him and his site? I don't want to offend anyone.



Hopefully someone can let me know, or if not it is a great guide for me (and
I have learnt a lot writing it).

Hello David,

The Guide is a job well done but anyone using it should not copy and paste
the commands, the qmailadmin part for the fedora 13 (pdf) need to be
corrected.

It has a lot of typos. the most killing part is, if you by mistake you copy
and paste chown –R apache:apache /var/ local/squirrelmail/data, you will
reinstall the system again as there is a space between "/var/ local".

by the way, it is very good piece which i have not been able to do in the
last six years.

good job.

Thanks

Hi Goke,



I’m glad you found it useful and thanks for pointing out the space error - I have corrected the web page and will correct the pdf shortly.



You mentioned there are a lot of typos – Can you advise where so I can fix them. It’s hard for me to spot mistakes in it as I wrote the thing. In particular, were there any mistakes that would cause a problem installing?



Also, please note the files and guides can also be found at www.centosrocks.net.au (Thanks Bill Olson)



Or www.ekrfs.com.au/qmr This has both Centos and Fedora guides.



Hopefully the guides inspire people to not just install qmail, but learn more about it.



Best Regards



Dave Donnelly

Hello David,

below is just the little comments I have, i discovered some others but just
could not recollect them all now, as I have said they are typographical
errors not major, unless one is an absolute beginner.

- on the web, creating users for the checklist is empty.
- some paths are pointing wrongly eg path to the set up the install
scripts, maildrop not in the qmr folder. i.e. There are location where you
pointed that the packages are in qmr folder but they are not part of the qmr
folder.
- broken path ... like svstat /service/dovecot /service/ dovecot/log, cd
/var/qmail/supervise.qmail-smtpd
- where you pointed to vqadmin instead of qmailadmin. see below.


########################################################

*Part 19 – Installing Qmailadmin*

This provides us with a nice web based interface for administering mail
accounts once they are set up through Vpopmail or VqAdmin.

cd /downloads/qmr

tar zxvf vqadmin-X.xx.x

cd vqadmin-X.x.x

./configure –enable-cgibindir=/var/www/cgi-bin –enable-htmldir=/var/www/html
–enable-modify-spam

make && make install-strip

Any one know how I can setup heartbeat on qmail server for failover purpose?
Thanks!

Failover is built into the SMTP/DNS system.

The ideal setup would be similar to:
Set up a second MX with equal or lower priority in your DNS zone and plop a
qmail-smtpd instance listening on a second IP address (which the second MX
will point to) relaying into your mailbox queue either on one of your MX
handling boxen or on another third box. Then when, if, the mailbox server
dies the backup MX(es) will queue up the incoming mail for delivery (you set
a long queuelifetime, right?) when the mailbox server comes back online. You
would, in this scenario, also have separate relay instances with a differing
queuelifetime, or use the queue on your mailbox server which should have a
reasonable queuelifetime, so that you're not holding outgoing mail for
2weeks (or whichever) before bouncing if the remote server can't be
contacted.

Alternatively, if you only have one IP address, you could set up something
like http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/ which can be configured to send the
incoming traffix to any of the currently active internal IP addresses which
have a qmail-smtpd instance listening on port 25. You would then have LVS
set up with the failover ip that you wish to use with heartbeat so that the
single IP moves to a secondary system and LVS redirecting to the multiple
qmail-smtpd servers thus providing for the failover you require.

Hello Emma,
Create the two servers to be duplicates of each other.
Set up your mx records to contain the two servers with priority.

Or let the same servers duplicates to each other then
Install HA from linuxhq site.

Take care

Hi all, Just wondering if qmailrocks will ever return, is it dead or is someone replacing it?



I have written a step by step installation guide to install Qmail on Fedora 13. It will install the following:

Qmail - patched with John Simpsons latest 7.10 patch

Ucspi-tcp

Daemontools

Ezmlm-idx

Autoresponder

Vpopmail-5.4.30 with onchange

Mkvalidrcptto and Mkauth

Maildrop

Dovecot

Ucspi-ssl

Clamav

Spamassassin

Qmail-scanner

Qmailadmin

Vqadmin

Squirrelmail



I wrote the guide for myself but others may also want to look at it. It’s a 24 page document with 21 steps in all. It’s fairly detailed but not on everything. I’m certain it can be improved upon and I will openly welcome constructive comments.



I do not know the correct protocol for this - should I first send the guide to John Simpson for review –as a lot of the info (such as scripts) for the install is from him and his site? I don’t want to offend anyone.



Hopefully someone can let me know, or if not it is a great guide for me (and I have learnt a lot writing it).
