[qmailtoaster] POP3 and SMTP server configuration

[Miguel A. Velasco]

Hello, I´d like to know where may I configure my POP3 and SMTP Server
in qmailtoaster please. I´ve installed all correctly in a CentOS 5.0
distribution

what you have installed correctly? the CentOS 5 only or CentOS 5 with
qmailtoaster ?

but now I don´t find the way to configure my "pop.mydomain.com" &
"smtp.mydomain.com" in the email server.

type netstat -pant and check if port 110 and 25 is open. or you can type
telnet localhost 110 or telnet localhost 25
to make sure pop3 and smtp service is running

I´ve been reading information in qmailadmin and qmail docs but I don´t
know how to do it.

have you read qmailtoaster wiki on wiki.qmailtoaster.com ?

Thanks all for your collaboration.

I´ve installed CentOS with qmailtoaster following the wiki.qmailtoaster
instrucctions. The only thing I haven´t installed yet is Domainkeys.
That´s what I see when I type the following commands:

[***@lorca smtp]# netstat -pant | grep -i 25
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:25 0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN 2690/tcpserver
[***@lorca smtp]# netstat -pant | grep -i 110
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:110 0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN 2699/tcpserver

[***@lorca users]# telnet localhost 110
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1).
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK <***@lorca.mydomain.es>

[***@lorca users]# telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1).
Escape character is '^]'.
220 lorca.mydomain.es - Welcome to Qmail Toaster Ver. 1.3 SMTP Server ESMTP

[***@lorca bin]# netstat -a | grep smtp
tcp 0 0 *:smtp *:*
LISTEN
[***@lorca bin]# netstat -a | grep pop
tcp 0 0 *:pop3s *:*
LISTEN
tcp 0 0 *:pop3 *:*
LISTEN

I´ve been reading the wiki and the only thing I´ve seen about POP and
SMTP server is the file /var/qmail/control/smtproutes. But I write my
domain inside, restart Qmail and it doesn´t work. All local messages
delivery OK, but not external messages, that´s my problem.

Thans all for your attention.

So your problem are
1. you can't receive email from external domain to your qmt's domain
2. and from qmt unable to sent to external domain ?

for 1st case, did you already create an MX record in your domain zone ?
for 2nd case, from qmt box does it able to resolve IP address of the
destination MX domain ? qmt need dns server, most of the case this problem
happen if dns server down or can't resolve. but it's depend on error
messages. what your send log said when it tries to send out email ?

that's from me, hope it can give you a hint.
hope other qmt's expert can help you on this

Hello, thanks very much for your help. The thing is I don´t understand
what kind of MX records may I configure in my DNS Server. I have
installed a cache DNS served with bind in the same Server as Qmt. But
what may I configure to download external mails form my ISP? and to send
external mails outside my local domain?.
My ISP gives me the following information:
mydomain.es. MX 10 smtp-01.servidoresdns.net.
mail.mydomain.es. A - 82.223.x.x
smtp.mydomain.es. A - 217.76.x.x
I can configure my dns server with this information, but where do I say
to QMT to use this information?

Thanks very much for all ur help.

HI ,
i am helping first time on this list , but list help me lot to reach on
ths level ok.

Just do one thing i think u wan to configure some mail clients like
OutLook or Thunderbird , for which u want pop.domain.com or smtp.domain.com

use urs DNS or Domain Control Panel
go to settings Mail server or MX record , type there IP address of urs
QMT Mail Server , it must be Static ip not of 192.168. somethng

Save settings now.

Now when any one will send mail to ***@domain.com --------> domain will
check MX and send it to MX entry , where POP or SMTP or IMAP must be
live up , ok .

then it will get deliverd to vpopmail mail box of that user.Thats It.

Now but for Out Look or ThunderBird i.e called on Wiki is remote
vpopmail users ...u need to recompile vpopmail with remote users option
in ./configure ok , then create an Alias domain for urs main Domain :-
pop.domain.com or mail.domain.com
this way u got the Outlokk settings for Incoming server or Outgoing server.

Hope may help someone first time better ,

For more better understanding may Jake can help , who always listens my
problem on list and reply with correct best settings.

Thanks to all.

Hi, thanks very much for your help. Reading in internet I found
information about fetchmail to download foreign mails from my ISP. I´m
going to try this way because I don´t end understanding many concepts
about vpopmail and remote users.
The thing I have no idea is how to send emails to other domains with
qmail. I suposse it will be by MX record in DNS server or something
similar. I will continue reading documentation about this.
Any way, thanks very much for all your collaboration.
