=== NetQmail Installation on Fedora C5 x86_64 ===

== Obtain netqmail ==
Download from www.qmail.org

== Extract package & patch qmail ==
Extract netqmail-1.05.tar.gz & qmail-1.03.tar.gz inside netqmail
%%(bash)
patch -p1 < ../netqmail-1.05.patch
%%

== Adding necessary users ==
%%(bash)
groupadd nofiles
useradd -g nofiles -d /var/qmail/alias alias
useradd -g nofiles -d /var/qmail qmaild
useradd -g nofiles -d /var/qmail qmaill
useradd -g nofiles -d /var/qmail qmailp
groupadd qmail
useradd -g qmail -d /var/qmail qmailq
useradd -g qmail -d /var/qmail qmailr
useradd -g qmail -d /var/qmail qmails
%%

== Compile qmail ==
%%(bash)
make setup check
%%

== Basic config on qmail ==
Under qmail source dir, run ./config to start a basic config. The followings will be displayed:
%%
Your hostname is
www.ericyu.com.
Your host's fully qualified name in DNS is server.linuxserver27.com.
Putting server.linuxserver27.com into control/me...
Putting
linuxserver27.com into control/defaultdomain...
Putting linuxserver27.com into control/plusdomain...

Checking local IP addresses:
0.0.0.0: PTR lookup failed. I assume this address has no DNS name.
127.0.0.1: PTR lookup failed. I assume this address has no DNS name.
64.106.250.143: PTR lookup failed. I assume this address has no DNS name.
67.15.179.25: Adding
server.linuxserver27.com to control/locals...

If there are any other domain names that point to you,
you will have to add them to /var/qmail/control/locals.
You don't have to worry about aliases,
i.e., domains with CNAME records.
%%

Copying /var/qmail/control/locals to /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts...
Now qmail will refuse to accept SMTP messages except to those hosts.
Make sure to change rcpthosts if you add hosts to locals or virtualdomains!
If there are problems with FQDN, run config-fast your.host.name and edit the files under /var/qmail/control directly.

== Install qmail aliases ==
%%(bash)
root:/usr/local/src/qmail-1.03# cd ~alias
root:/var/qmail/alias# echo adam > .qmail-root
root:/var/qmail/alias# echo bob > .qmail-postmaster
root:/var/qmail/alias# echo bob > .qmail-mailer-daemon
%%

== Setup daemontools & create control directories ==
If these tools are not installed, obtain the necessary packages listed below:
daemontools-0.70-8
ucspi-tcp-0.88-7

Then
%%(bash)
mkdir -p /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-send/log
mkdir -p /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/log
chmod +t /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-send
chmod +t /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd
mkdir -p /var/log/qmail/qmail-send
mkdir -p /var/log/qmail/qmail-smtpd
chown -R qmaill /var/log/qmail
%%

create file /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-send/run
%%(bash;run)

%%(bash;run)
#!/bin/sh

-u $QMAILDUID -g $NOFILESGID 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1
%%

create file /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/log/run
%%(bash;run)
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/setuidgid qmaill /usr/local/bin/multilog t s2500000 /var/log/qmail/qmail-smtpd
%%

== Access Control==
create file /etc/tcp.smtp
%%
192.168.13.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
1.2.3.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
:allow
%%

run
%%(bash)
tcprules /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb /etc/tcp.smtp.tmp < /etc/tcp.smtp
%%

== Create the qmail rc file in /var/qmail/rc ==
%%(bash;rc)
#!/bin/sh
exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \
qmail-start '|dot-forward .forward
|preline procmail'
%%

Or if dot-forward is missing
%%(bash;rc)
#!/bin/sh
exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \
qmail-start '|preline procmail'
%%

== Starting / stopping qmail==
Daemontools will start qmail in a few seonds
%%(bash)
ln -s /var/qmail/supervise/* /service/
%%

== Restart qmail==
%%(bash)
svc -t /service/qmail-send
svc -t /service/qmail-smtpd
%%

== Stopping qmail==
%%(bash)
svc -h
svc ?
%%

== Configure pop3 daemon ==
On Fedora, install uw-imap-2006e-2.fc5 using yum. Then go to /etc/xinetd.d and enable ipop3 service.

== Integrating Qmail with Spamassassin==
Spamassassin can be invoked at delivery time or at queue time. Obtain & install spamassassin rpm.

At delivery time:
Change /var/qmail/rc to
%%(bash;rc)
#!/bin/sh
exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \
qmail-start '|spamassassin -P |preline procmail'
%%

At queue time:
Rename /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue to /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue.orig

Create /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue
%%(bash;qmail-queue)
#!/bin/sh
spamassassin -P | qmail-queue.orig
%%


Create an account to store spamassasin setting
%%
mkdir ~qmaild/.spamassassin
chown qmaild.nofiles ~qmaild/.spamassassin
chmod u=rwx,g=rx,o= ~qmaild/.spamassassin
%%


Edit run script for qmail-smtpd
%%(bash;run)
#!/bin/sh
QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaild`
NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild`
MAXSMTPD=`cat /var/qmail/control/concurrencyincoming`
exec softlimit -m 4000000 \
tcpserver -v -R -l 0 -x /etc/qmail/tcp.smtp.cdb -c `"$MAXSMTPD`" \
-u `"$QMAILDUID`" -g `"$NOFILESGID`" 0 smtp qmail-smtpd 2>&1
%%

The line with "exec softlimit -m 2000000" tells tcpserver, to limit all subprocesses to a maximum memory consumption of two (2) million bytes. If this results in to little memory the spamassassin process may die. Yury Gusev is using (by now) "exec softlimit -m 66000000". Please tell us your experiences. It should also be considered to run the spamassassin daemon, and only invoke spamc, the spamassassin client with this setup, instead of launching a whole spamassassin process for each mail.
