QMail
(install information from Mail-HOWTO on SuSE 6.3 CD 1)
(Package installation from qmail site http://mirrors.kangaroot.net/qmail/rpms/var-qmail/)
Installed shadow-utils-20000902-12.8.i386.rpm (thru YaST) (download from internet)
Installed make (from SUSE 9.1 CD)
Install inetd-2.0 (from SUSE 9.1 CD)
Un-Installed postfix (thru YaST) (first did /etc/init.d/postfix stop)
rpm -Uvh var-qmail-create-1.03-110patch_14_15.i386.rpm
cd /usr/src/packages/SPECS
rpmbuild -ba var-qmail_14_15.spec
cd /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i586
rpm -Uvh qmail-1.03-110patch_14_15.i586.rpm
(afterwards, do some cleaning in ../packages/SPECS, ../packages/BUILD, ../redhad/SOURCES, etc. do a 'find' to show all files)

Testing qmail
sh -cf '/var/qmail/rc &'
echo to: mylogin | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject
--> should receive a mail in the format selected in /var/qmail/boot
Set up qmail-smtpd in /etc/inetd.conf (all on one line):
smtp stream tcp nowait qmaild /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env tcp-env /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
Add this script to /etc/init.d/ and set START & KILL alias in the right runlevel dir (rc3.d, rc5.d):
(see file config/etc_init.d/qmail)
cp config/etc_init.d/qmail /etc/init.d/qmail
cd /etc/init.d/rc3.d
ln -s "../qmail" S10qmail
ln -s "../qmail" K14qmail
cd /etc/init.d/rc5.d
ln -s "../qmail" S10qmail
ln -s "../qmail" K14qmail
(vale of Sxx and Kxx must be adapted if necessary - typically take same as for sendmail)
killall -HUP inetd to reset inetd configuration
/etc/rc.d/qmail start to launch qmail
QPopper
update inetd.conf, add or uncomment the line
pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/popper qpopper -s
(don't know if this is mandatory)
in /var/mail, add a symlink for each USER to its ~USER/Mailbox file. eg:
cd /var/mail
ln -s ~insomnia/Mailbox insomnia
ln -s ~isabelle/Mailbox isabelle
...
(also for root)
Then creates new file ~USER/Mailbox for each USER (Mailbox must be chmod 600)
OR if a file /var/mail/USER existed, copy it first to ~USER/Mailbox before doing the symlink
killall -HUP inetd to reset inetd configuration

Script to mount phoenix (W2K) filesystem with Samba
As root:
1) Setuid root /usr/bin/smbmnt (chmod 4755 /usr/bin/smbmnt)
2) Create phoenix mount point (mkdir /mnt/phoenix)
3) Create both files below
4) Use mntphoenix to mount, umntphoenix to unmount
( example for phoenix / same files for unicorn but adapt smbshares )
