Hello,

 

Well I don’t see anything on that page about using another patch. What patch does this use? The reason I ask is if I use John Simpsons patch at https://qmail.jms1.net/patches/combined-details.shtml I won’t get his features like validrcptto (which is awesome) and other settings. How do your run files differ from his? Have you used John’s scripts before?

Hi,

 

try to consider my s/qmail (http://www.fehcom.de/sqmail.html) instead.

 

It is build for FreeBSD.

The qmail code is aging. 

netqmail is just a work around without solving the relevant issues.

 

regards.

--eh.

Hello,

 

My name is Bill Olson and I have been using qmail for about 11+ years now. I have had my own guide on  <http://freebsdrocks.net/> freebsdrocks.net which I have been keeping up to date every few months. 

 

I seem to be having an issue with applying John Simpsons patch with netqmail. I have found through trial and error that qmail and netqmail do not co-exist peacefully. I have learned that netqmail is what is now recommended but I have a few issues with this. Please excuse my ignorance as I am *very* new to netqmail. What I have done to make netqmail work on Freebsd is downloading netqmail 1.06 along with roberto-netqmail-1.06.patch-latest. I cannot recall if I added John Simpsons validrcptto’s patch before or after but qmail *apprears* to be working. My issue is when I send via SSL I get an error 256. If I run the install of the qmail port and run a make install it starts working. I am using John Simpsons qmail-smtp-run scripts on qmail.

 

I also have an intermittent issue with TLS. Does TLS with netqmail work out of the box? Are there are specific instructions setup to enable TLS on netqmail?

 

If someone can point me to relevant information on how to get John Simpsons patch working with netqmail … I would be so happy.

 

Thank you for your time.
