This is how I always setup the control dir: Control/me: FQDN of your machine Control/locals: Domains one per line that will be delivered to local accounts Control/defaultdomain: Default domain Control/plusdomain: Portion of domain to be added if the is a "+" in the email addres (not sure) Control/rcpthosts: Domains that this server will be receiving mail for. Locals and virtualdomains Control/virtualdomains: Domains and there corresponding usernames for virtualdomains (only required if using vmailmgr or other virtual domain package) Contol/checkpassword: Program qmail-popup will be using to check passwords. (only if using builtin pop3 server) Control/defaulthost: Usually the same as defaultdomain -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG] On Behalf Of Martin Hasenbein Sent: Thursday, August 16, 2001 8:53 AM To: Darryl Hoar Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: qmail install problem Darryl Hoar (darryl@osborne-ind.com) wrote: > Greetings, > Am running 4.3-release. > > I want to install and run qmail on my machine.
