SAVE COPIES OF YOUR OUTGOING MAIL! Like any other piece of software (and
|
|
information generally), the qmail system comes with NO WARRANTY. It's
|
|
much more secure and reliable than sendmail, but that's not saying much.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here's how to upgrade to netqmail 1.05. This procedure will overwrite the
|
|
old qmail binaries. Furthermore, it may begin delivering messages from
|
|
the queue before you have had a chance to test it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
WARNING for upgrades from 1.00 or 1.01: qlist has been split into a
|
|
separate package. You can obtain it from http://pobox.com/~djb/qlist.html
|
|
if you have any users who need it.
|
|
|
|
WARNING for upgrades from 1.01: recipientmap is gone. The virtualdomains
|
|
mechanism has been expanded to support virtual users.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Before starting, compare conf* to your old conf*, and make any necessary
|
|
changes. You can copy conf* from 1.02 or 1.03.
|
|
|
|
|
|
How to install:
|
|
|
|
1. Compile the programs and create the formatted man pages:
|
|
# make it man
|
|
|
|
2. Inform your users that mail will not be accepted for a few minutes.
|
|
|
|
3. Disable deliveries by killing your old qmail-send. Wait for it to
|
|
print ``exiting'' in the log.
|
|
|
|
4. Disable SMTP service by commenting out the smtp line in inetd.conf;
|
|
kill -HUP your inetd. (If you are using tcpserver, simply kill -STOP
|
|
your tcpserver. If you are running a QMTP server, disable that too.)
|
|
Wait for current qmail-smtpd processes to die.
|
|
|
|
5. Install the new binaries and man pages:
|
|
# make setup check
|
|
|
|
6. If your boot scripts are using qmail-start instead of /var/qmail/rc:
|
|
Copy /var/qmail/boot/home to /var/qmail/rc. (Use home+df instead if
|
|
you have installed dot-forward; use proc or proc+df if you are using
|
|
procmail by default for local deliveries.) Compare /var/qmail/rc to
|
|
your qmail-start boot line, and edit /var/qmail/rc if necessary.
|
|
Replace your qmail-start boot line with
|
|
csh -cf '/var/qmail/rc &'
|
|
|
|
7. Reenable deliveries:
|
|
# csh -cf '/var/qmail/rc &'
|
|
|
|
8. Read TEST.deliver.
|
|
|
|
9. Reenable SMTP service by restoring the smtp line in inetd.conf; kill
|
|
-HUP your inetd. (If you are using tcpserver, simply kill -CONT your
|
|
tcpserver. If you are running a QMTP server, reenable that too.)
|
|
|
|
10. Read TEST.receive.
|
|
|
|
|
|
That's it! To report success:
|
|
% ( echo 'First M. Last'; cat `cat SYSDEPS` ) | mail djb-qst@cr.yp.to
|
|
Replace First M. Last with your name.
