Talk:HOWTO Setup QMAIL RELAY-CTRL VPOPMAIL
From Gentoo Linux Wiki
Whelp, lay it on me y'all.
I changed a couple things: the recomendation to use your root account for vpopmail mysql is a bad one. Having a root password in a text file on a system is asking for an exploit. I also removed the suggestion to change ownership to vpopmail user to apache. I've done about ten installs now and this has never been an issue on any machine squirrelmail works fine without it.--Ghettodev 07:16, 7 Jul 2005 (GMT)
[edit] It isn't a good idea to give the ebuild name as an argument.
Portage doesn't really like when you do that. Theres a big fat warning and stuff. Fixed! ;) --Chaosite 08:33, 19 Mar 2005 (GMT)

Great stuff man, thanks for the howto. Any chance of you filling in the "Install Spam Database Clients" section? Thats really the only hole I've found in the gentoo tutorials out there, little security or spam information --Ghettodev 18:11, 22 Apr 2005 (GMT)
No love for sendmail?

Because of some recient changes with the qmail ebuilds and newly available software relay-ctrl is finally becoming antiquated. There are much more sane ways to authenticate authorized senders now. I would be happy to add documentation to this page, but because the very nature of the page is how to set up relay-ctrl, I'm not sure it's aproperate. I think createing a branch of this page to describe other configurations would cause lots of overlapping data, which is oten bad. What to do?
- possibly a new page and a link somewhere, maybe an 'alernatives' section might be the way to go? There's got to be more than 2 ways to configure the thing, so it might be something to consider - failing that, a section entitled 'alternative to relay-ctrl' might be worth considering --86.8.37.3 03:47, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Mysql DB Config?
I get the following error when using vadduser:
vmysql: sql error[3]: Table 'vpopmail.vpopmail' doesn't exist
Thing is, I can't see in the guide where to populate the DB.. I'm all setup, but the database isn't populated in a nutshell. Any ideas? --86.8.37.3 03:50, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
