To connect Dr.Web MailD to Qmail mail system, do the following:
1.Open the directory with Qmail executable files <qmail_dir> (usually they reside in the /var/qmail/bin directory) and rename the qmail-queue file to qmail-queue.original;
|
Note that if you moved the qmail-queue original file to another location or defined another name (different from qmail-queue.original), it is required to specify a new path to this file in the main configuration file of Dr.Web MailD. To do this, set the new file path as a value of the QmailQueue parameter in the [Qmail] section. |
2.Instead of the renamed file create the following symbolic link in the same directory: qmail-queue -> %bin_dir/qmail-queue;
3.Set rights for users whose privileges are used to run the files.
The most convenient configuration is the one when Dr.Web MailD and qmail-queue operate under the drweb account. To enable proper functioning of the configuration, assign the following rights for %bin_dir/qmail-queue and %qmail_dir/qmail-queue:
-rws--x--x X drweb qmail SIZE DATE %bin_dir/qmail-queue
-rws--x--x X qmailq qmail SIZE DATE %qmail_dir/qmail-queue.original
You can also do that using the following commands:
# chown drweb:qmail %bin_dir/qmail-queue
# chmod 4711 %bin_dir/qmail-queue
# chown qmailq:qmail %qmail_dir/qmail-queue.original
# chmod 4711 %qmail_dir/qmail-queue.original
4. Also add qmailq and qmaild users to the drweb group and drweb user to the qmail group.
