Earlier we have covered postfix- relay mails to gmail

This tip is for the qmail server using Jms patch.

Many of us prefer Qmail instead of Postfix, especially when it come to use as mail server, for the one who wish to relay mails postfix is easy to install.

Make sure you have created cert while installing Qmail.
e.g.

cd /usr/src/qmail/qmail-1.03
./config-fast tech.linuxreaders.com
make cert
chown -R vpopmail:qmail /var/qmail/control/clientcert.pem /var/qmail/control/servercert.pem

Create new smtp service. I created qmail-smtpd1 which listens on port 26

/service/qmail-smtpd1/run
#!/bin/sh
exec tcpserver -v 127.0.0.1 26 openssl s_client -quiet -connect smtp.gmail.com:25 2>&1

Aadd entry in smtproutes

cat /var/qmail/control/smtproutes
#following is to relay all mails through gmail
:smtp.gmail.com linuxreaders@gmail.com my_passwd
#OR
#following is to relay only technoreaders.com through gmail.
technoreaders.com:smtp.gmail.com linuxreaders@gmail.com my_passwd

Reference

For Installation

I am handling corporate mail server, often sales team sends mails to all clients for new products.

We are using Qmail based mailing list.

For our business it is mandatory to register email addresses using client registration form.

In manual email id registration many a times entered email ids are invalid.

Although mailing list takes care of invalid email ids. I was looking for better alternative for my Back-office team to verify email ids rather sending mails on individual ids.

From one of my friends blog I found about Expert Email Validator.

This tool can be used to validate max 500 email ids at once.

Fixes a couple of bugs in v1.1.15’s changes. Hopefully the last v1.1
release before v1.2.0.

- v1.1.15 could have crashed if mailbox-closing command was pipelined
after a mailbox-accessing command.
- v1.1.15’s zlib plugin may have caused crashes when fetching
INTERNALDATE.
- Maildir: If messages had been deleted externally from new/ directory
and mailbox was opened with EXAMINE, Dovecot didn’t immediately
notice that the messages were deleted.
- If message body started with a space, some operations could have
assert-crashed.

The security fix to map_yp_alias in 1.4.18 turned out to be incomplete. also experienced some regressions in the updated filter plugin. Both are addressed in this new release 1.4.19 which contains a few other small fixes aswell. If you do not use map_yp_alias or the filters plugin there’s no urgent need to upgrade now if you already installed 1.4.18.
