How to install Qmail Toaster on Debian Lenny
This article is an updating of many articles that I found on the internet. This article talks about the installation of an electronic mail server on the operating system Linux using Qmail and Debian Lenny. In my opinion this is one of the most robust and reliable mail server that can be deployed on Linux. Also this article I will be teaching how to use the package Qmail-Toaster (netqmail).
Introduction:
Firstly I would like to give the credits of article for the site that I used as source: www.qmailrocks.org.
I won't go over the Debian installation, but I recommend using its basic and updated installation.
We will be installing a complete electronic mail with resources such as:
• Electronic mail – SMTP / POP3 / IMAP
• Web-based Control Panel
• Antispam filters and antivirus.
• Service monitoring tools (QMAIL MRTG)
This installation I used Debian 5 (Lenny) version 5.0.4 and all the latest updates.

i type
#telnet localhost 110

That thing make courier and squiremail didn't work properly,how do i change it
with something like
+OK Hello there. or anything?
#!/bin/sh
yes " | head -4000 | tr '\n'
i don't undestand this code. what is it made for ?
i'am testing, and all seem to work, i'am at courier-imap stage
just this point
cat /service/clear/run
#!/bin/sh
yes " | head -4000 | tr '\n'
what this code made for ?
I've made another guide with the same subject. If you are interrested, take a look to http://qmailrocks.thibs.com
To use it with authlib with MySQL support :
1° Adapt authdaemonrc like this
authmodulelist=" authmysql" AND
2° Adapt authmysqlrc as described on http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Courier-authlib_with_MySQL
By the way, if you use this solution, you can use standard Debian packages for Courier
You can install it like that :
aptitude install courier-base courier-authdaemon courier-authlib courier-authlib-mysql courier-imap courier-imap-ssl courier-maildrop
The other solution is to compile vpopmail (I advice version 5.4.30 available on http://garr.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/vpopmail/vpopmail-5.4.30.tar.gz) with following option :
./configure --enable-logging=p --enable-auth-module=mysql --disable-passwd --enable-clear-passwd --enable-many-domains --enable-auth-logging --enable-sql-logging --enable-valias --disable-mysql-limits --enable-incdir=/usr/include/mysql --enable-libdir=/usr/lib/
Sincerely,
