Hello
I'm in trouble with an old Qmail server that runs on
an also old server.
The problem is I cannot modify the existing configuration
of this machine because of inhouse developped applications
that use qmail.
Qmail ( which i know very few ) seem a bit autistic when talking
to non FQDN distants servers or with MX misconfigured.
my idea is to add a postfix instance on this machine which will
send emails to the Internet.
In my plan Qmail will inject all outgoing SMTP traffic into Postfix
instance that will send it outside .
That doesn't sound too hard.
Configure postfix to listen on some localhost port -- I'll use 2525
for this example -- and configure qmail to use that as a smarthost.
In postfix master.cf, find the line that resembles
smtp inet n - n - - smtpd
and change it to
127.0.0.1:2525 inet n - n - - smtpd
Then configure qmail to use that port as a smarthost. I don't use
qmail, but google suggests the way to do that is
echo ":127.0.0.1:2525" > /var/qmail/control/smtproutes
but you might want to check your qmail docs for details.
