Starting Qmail
Hello All!
I am new to Qmail and trying to get this thing setup and working (replacing an sendmail system)... After following the steps in Section 2 of the FAQ (http://www.lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html), I try running qmailctl start and get the following:
# qmailctl start
Starting qmail
/usr/bin/qmailctl: svok: not found
qmail-send supervise not running
/usr/bin/qmailctl: svok: not found
qmail-smtpd supervise not running
This is on a Solaris 2.8 box. All I want qmail to do is forward incoming (outside) email to our Novell Groupwise system. My goal in all of this is to do what Dave Sill had written below:
=============================================
Sure. Just set up the qmail box normally (basic qmail installation +
best-preference MX record) and use control/smtproutes to redirect
incoming mail to the GroupWise server. E.g., if your domain is
example.com and your GroupWise server is groupwise.example.com, put
the following in smtproutes:
example.com:groupwise.example.com
Since example.com isn't listed in control/locals or
control/virtualdomains, qmail will redirect messages for
user@example.com to groupwise.example.com. If groupwise is down, the
messages will remain in the queue and qmail will automatically retry
them occasionally. You can also force qmail to try to send them, if
you know the GroupWise server is back up, by sending qmail-send an
ALRM signal.
=============================================
Is "basic qmail installation" Step 2 in the FAQ? Any help would be much appreciated. Email heading outside will be handled by the Groupwise system.
Thanks again,
Steve Fouchek
