mmmh, I didn't bother about pop befor smtp. But this shouldn't be the problem. I'll include smtp after pop. SMTP-AUTH still doesn't work I have no clue why. |

well, anything that allows remote email clients send email through the server. Squirrelmail is nice, but many people prefer to use their usual client even while travelling. |

| pop before smtp is an ok temporary solution but i dont use pop we prefer imap solutions so it will be really nice when we figure out how to get smtp-auth working. |

It's a bit tricky to get smtp after pop to work with courier-pop3d. For qmails pop3d it is no problem. I'll see If i can figure out how it works wit the courier pop3d.
-------------EDIT----------------
I have updated my howto. now it contains a section for smtp after pop/imap.
I can not verify if it is woking, cause I have no system to test it on.
Oh, I vorgot one thing to mention: DONT FORGETT TO EDIT YOUR TCP RULES to allow every IP to relay (if it's that what you want smtp after pop for)

qmail (and everything maildir related in portage) work off of .maildir
it slipped my mind to add in the '.maildir' arguement after `makemaildir` which is why the howto reads incorrectly
ive fixed it in cvs |

well i was able to get my installation to work!!
following this howto:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/qmail-howto.xml
there were some issues that i ran into when first installation but they were cleared up rather quickly and the howto has been updated to reflect those issues.
one thing im running into now that others may run into as well if trying to install qmail-scanner is that the berkley db version 4.1.25_p1-r3 is not happy with maildrop-1.5.3.-r1, so if you plan on emerging qmail-scanner then you need to either unmerge db-4.1.25_p1-r3 and emerge db-4.0.14-r3 or muddle with the ebuild scripts for maildrop or econf respectively. I've done neither as I'm currently syncing my system to get db-4.2.52_p1 and test that out as I would rather go forwards than backwards in versions if I can help it.
best of luck to all your qmail hopefuls, i'm very happy with the above mentioned howto and was able to get my qmail/vpopmail/ssl/horde/imap system up and running rather quick. |

Where was the problem with maildrop ??? It works like a charm for me no problems with mysql. Ther was no problem to get qmail running with this howto (just a view permission problems an the starrting problem with Maildir and .maildir due to some version missmatches) |

afaik SMTP-AUTH utilizes vchkpw which should have been setup in /var/qmail/control/conf-smtpd ... so if vchkpw (and vpopmail) are working correctly, and you setup the QMAIL_SMTP_CHECKPASSWORD vars correctly in conf-smtpd, everything else should fall into place |

make sure you tell it to use user@host as the username (i.e. vapier@wh0rd.org) instead of just user (i.e. vapier)
i use kmail as my client and it works as advertised  |

it was a known issue between maildrop 1.5.3 and certain versions of db. there are many threads on it here in the forums. it worked fine for me using maildrop 1.5.3-r1 and db-4.2.52_p1.
i'm using your howto for anti-virus and spam busting blubbi. ive just finished the merging, now im going to install a new HD before i update the spam list as you say it takes a lot of space and im running out on that pc. im going to make a new directory specifically for the spam and just call it /spam, giving it the same permissions and details as the /root directory. is that what you would suggest?
thanks! |
