I'm trying to make qmail under my solaris work.
I have solaris 2.8 running on Ultra-2.
Now here is scenario:
I got the q-mail smtpd working (not the way they say in the documentation -- but it
works).
Now I'm trying to set up virtual users. I want to use vmailmgr because of the web
interface + I want to set up real virtual users. Basically I want to set up e-mail
accounts for people without actually creating a UNIX account for each user. YET: they
should be able to access their virtual mail using a POP server. (Kinda like what
hotmail, coolmail.net, and other mail providers do).
Anyway: here is my problem:
I compiled and installed vmailmgr. Is there any documentation on how to set it up?
Does anyone know what configuration files I need to edit?? So anyway, I did like they
told me to. I created a user to store all virtual mail. This user is called 'hehe'.
Then I edited /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains and added two lines:
swaru:hehe
localhost:hehe
Here is the thing: I DO NOT have a domain YET. SO in my /etc/hosts file, I added swaru
as my machine name. SInce I'm not part of any network (it's a system at which is soon
going to be a web/mail server), I named my machine swaru (swami + guru :-).
Then I did vhost setup under the username hehe. Then I did valiasadd, etc. to finish
it off. The two aliases i added to user hehe were 'me' and 'myself' and 'myname'
(actually I added three :-)
Anyway, when I tried to send mail to me@swaru, or myname@swaru, or myself@swaru, it
DOES NOT work. BUT: when I send mail to hehe@swaru, I get the mail delivered.
Can someone please help! I would really appreciate it if someone could point me to a
very simple and step-by-step documentation. I already read the qmail docs and vmailmgr
docs millions of time. They are .... not organized well and annoying
thanks so much,
