Qmail Setup

[TehPropheT]

Hi there,

Im running fedora core 2 with plesk 7.5.4

Everything is fine and PLESK is great! I just have one issue.

I have no idea on how to go about setting up qmail for sending or recieving. I use Hivemail php webmail script and in the past all i had to do was install sendmail package and that done the job without any need to configure for sending.

I am a complete noobie reguarding email and ideally i want to setup a pop3 mailbox on my domains and also be able to use smtp to send.

Any instructions or help you can give me would be great. I have looked but i dont want to follow general guides as i dont want issues with PLESK.

Thank you for you help and support (ill be checking this thread every hour for replies)

hi i can been googling and i found this documentation:
http://www.qmailrocks.org
i followed the install readme (not doing install because qmail is running and plesk seems ok) so i read through and got to section testing. From the documentation it seems my server is all setup? (see below) Should i now set my MX records on my domain to the server ip? Any info on how to proceed would be great!

It appears: Courier-imap/imaps with Courierpassd
is working sucessfully also. Any info you could give me on how to set up Outlook to send and recieve / any advice on the MX records on my domain registra would be great!

hehe well it seems like im almost there

I am able to send and recieve on my domain, but when sending an email to someone other than me i get this bounce back message:


Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.

Subject: hello
Sent: 08/09/2005 11:12 AM

The following recipient(s) could not be reached:

'[email protected]' on 08/09/2005 11:13 AM
553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1)






Anyone able to shed any light on this this seems like the last hurdle
