Tested on Ubuntu Note: This is not MY work, I am just readapting a tutorial from qmailrocks.org Note2: This is a bad tutorial and use it at your own risk... It is mainly done in NOTE FORM and there is not much explenation of WHAT is being done... I suggest you refer to qmailrocks.org for the complete version :-)

Install packages If you are asking why gcc AND g++, here is the answer: g++ i figured is required for Maildrop which is one of the steps in this tutorial Remove the following Packages Postfix - uninstall it or disable it Any POP service - This includes Qpopper or any POP service that may be running out of xinetd. If your're server has a POP service running, you will need to disable it. Any SMTP services It's ok to have Sendmail installed, because we'll uninstall it during the qmail installation. Perl Modules Needed: Digest::SHA1 Digest::HMAC Net::DNS Time::HiRes HTML::Tagset HTML::Parser Firewall ports to be opened: Outbound ports (tcp) 25 - SMTP 110 - POP services 143 - IMAP 783 - Spamassassin 993 - IMAPS Inbound Ports (tcp) 25 - SMTP 80 - HTTP 110 - POP services 143 - IMAP 443 - HTTPS 783 - Spamassassin 993 - IMAPS see here for more details Next run these scripts If all ok proceed Build qmail Create a certificate Set right ownership build ucspi-tcp... If you get an error do as follows: Should be ok now... (at least for me...) build the daemontools.... Again if you get an error, run this (IT IS DIFFERENT FROM THE ONE ABOVE): Check if "svscanboot" is running: You should get something like this: Note: The second one is just the grep command... the first is what you are looking for. Install ezmlm Install autoresponders Here I will install vpopmail WITHOUT MySQL support, if you wish to integrate MySQL support into vpopmail (usually for handling several domains - ie. more than 50 let-s say - then please follow the instructions from this page. Thanks. Configure Vpopmail see ./configure --help for all config options, otherwise... Vqadmin add the following to your server's Apache configuration file (usually httpd.conf) deny from all Options ExecCGI AllowOverride AuthConfig Order deny,allow ]]>In addition, within the Apache master config file you will want to set the "AllowOveride" option to "All". Example: AllowOverride All cd /path/to/your/cgi-bin/vqadmin Now you will want to create a .htaccess file to password protect the Vqadmin interface. There should already be a .htaccess file in the vqadmin directory, so all you need to do is configure it. We'll use the ever useful vi editor for this. vi .htaccess chown apache .htaccess (you may need to change the chown to either "nobody", "apache" or "www" etc., depending on what user your installation of Apache is running as) chmod 644 .htaccess Now you need to create a corresponding .htpasswd file that's going to contain the username and encrypted password for the Vqadmin administrator... Go to: log in with user admin and the password you provided... If you get a 500 Internal Server Error try this: Go to where you stored the .htpasswd file and cp .htpasswd vqadmin.passwd Assign the right ownership to it, mine looks like this: Maildrop Qmailadmin note: The paths in the above configure script will need to be custom tailored to your systems configuration
