Configuring Qmail
There are two ways to integrate AntiVir MailGate with Qmail:
z
Sendmail wrapper
z
Backdoor mechanism
Replace SMTP with SMTP-Backdoor only in the run file. All the other parameters are
examples only.
Sendmail
wrapper
You can use Sendmail wrapper, which was supplied with Qmail, to deliver emails
(default). First, go to the Qmail installation folder and activate the wrapper.
X
Activate the Sendmail wrapper in Qmail:
ln -s /var/qmail/bin/sendmail /usr/lib/sendmail
ln -s /var/qmail/bin/sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail
X
Establish the email forwarding mode. Refer to the file /etc/avmailgate.conf for
the following line:
# Select how mail should be forwarded.
X
Change these entries as below:
# Send mail by piping it thru sendmail (this is the de-
fault)
ForwardTo /usr/sbin/sendmail -oem -oi
# Or if you want the mail to be sent by SMTP
# ForwardTo SMTP: localhost port smtp-backdoor
Backdoor
mechanism
The second possibility sets email delivery on port 825, on which Qmail should be
active. This is done, for example, with
inetd.conf
(see Qmail installation package).
X
Insert the following line in /etc/services :
smtp-backdoor 825/tcp
X
Establish the email forwarding mode. Look into the file
/etc/avmailgate.conf
for:
# Select how mail should be forwarded.
X
Change these entries as below:
# ForwardTo /usr/sbin/sendmail -oem -oi
# Or if you want the mail to be sent by SMTP
ForwardTo SMTP: localhost port smtp-backdoor
