Setting up Qmail Here I try to provide a step-by-step guide to the succesful installation, configuration and usage of Qmail on OpenBSD. Index Installation Links Installation Unpack the distribution source code:   cd /tmp   tar xvpfz /location/of/netqmail-1.04.tar.gz   cd netqmail-1.04   collate.sh Note: watch for errors that collate.sh might produce.   Create the "home" directorie for Qmail:   mkdir /var/qmail   Next we have to create some user and group accounts. Edit /etc/master.passwd to look like this:   alias:*:100:101::0:0:Qmail-alias:/var/qmail/alias:/bin/true   qmaild:*:101:101::0:0:Qmail-qmaild:/var/qmail:/bin/true   qmaill:*:102:101::0:0:Qmail-qmaill:/var/qmail:/bin/true   qmailp:*:103:101::0:0:Qmail-qmailp:/var/qmail:/bin/true   qmailq:*:104:100::0:0:Qmail-qmailq:/var/qmail:/bin/true   qmailr:*:105:100::0:0:Qmail-qmailr:/var/qmail:/bin/true   qmails:*:106:100::0:0:Qmail-qmails:/var/qmail:/bin/true Then add two new groups to /etc/group:   qmail:*:100:   nofiles:*:101:   Now we're ready to build Qmail from source:   cd /tmp/netqmail-1.04/netqmail-1.04   make setup check   ./config If config can't determine your hostname, you can tip it by running:   ./config-fast mail.purebsd.com   More coming soon!
