Note: This article covers most options of qmail installation & configuration, as we have gathered most
needed Qmail packages to a powerful mail server, and satisfy all system administrator needs. Wish you
all the est of luck. !et"s start..,
is a secure, reliale, efficient, simple message transfer agent. #t is meant as a
replacement for the entire sendmail$inmail system on typical #nternet$connected %N#& hosts.
Se)ure: 'ecurity isn"t (ust a goal, ut an asolute requirement. )ail delivery is critical for users* it
cannot e turned off, so it must e completely secure.
.eliale: qmail"s straight$paper$path philosophy guarantees that a message, once accepted into the
system, will never e lost. qmail also supports maildir, a new, super$reliale user mailo+ format.
)aildirs, unlike mo+ files and mh folders, won"t e corrupted if the system crashes during delivery.
,ven etter, not only can a user safely read his mail over N-', ut any numer of N-' clients can
deliver mail to him at the same time.
#//i)ient: .n a /entium under 0'12.', qmail can easily sustain 344444 local messages per day5
that"s separate messages in(ected and delivered to mailo+es in a real test6 7lthough remote deliveries
are inherently limited y the slowness of 1N' and ')T/, qmail overlaps 34 simultaneous deliveries y
default, so it 8ooms quickly through mailing lists.
Simple: qmail is vastly smaller than any other #nternet )T7. 'ome reasons why:
9:; .ther )T7s have separate forwarding, aliasing, and mailing list mechanisms. qmail has
one simple forwarding mechanism that lets users handle their own mailing lists.
93; .ther )T7s offer a spectrum of delivery modes, from fast<unsafe to slow<queued.
qmail$ send is instantly triggered y new items in the queue, so the qmail system has (ust
one delivery mode: fast<queued.
9=; .ther )T7s include, in effect, a speciali8ed version of inetd that watches the load
average. qmail"s design inherently limits the machine load, so qmail$smtpd can safely run
from your system"s inetd.
>eplacement for sendmail: qmail supports host and user masquerading, full host hiding, virtual
domains, null clients, list$owner rewriting, relay control, doule$ounce recording, aritrary >-? @33
address lists, cross$host mailing list loop detection, per$recipient checkpointing, downed host ackoffs,
independent message retry schedules, etc. #n short, it"s up to speed on modern )T7 features. qmail also
includes a drop$in AsendmailB wrapper so that it will e used transparently y your current %7s.
3. .e0uired pa)kage1
There are five packages needed for this qmail install.
3.: netqmail$:.4C.tar.g8
qmail is a secure, reliale, efficient, simple message transfer agent. #t is designed for typical #nternet$
connected %N#& hosts. 7s of .ctoer 344:, qmail is the second most common ')T/ server on the
#nternet, and has y far the fastest growth of any ')T/ server.
3.3 ucspi$tcp$4.@@.tar.g8
#t is a tool similar to inetd. ucspi$tcp listens in 3D port and spawns qmail$smtpd when required. ucspi$
tcp stands for %ni+ ?lient 'erver /rogram #nterface for T?/.
3.= daemontools$4.EC.tar.g8
daemontools is actually a tool to manage & monitor daemons linu+. #t is used in qmail as well to
manage qmail daemons.
3.F checkpassword$4.G4.tar.g8
checkpassword provides a simple, uniform password$checking interface to all root applications. #t is
suitale for use y applications such as login, ftpd, and pop=d.
3.D qmail$smtpd$auth$4.=:.tar.g8
This patch enales ')T/ 7%TH protocol with following auth types: !.I#N, /!7#N and ?>7)$
)1D.
2. Qmail 3n1tall
