| | 1 | SAVE COPIES OF YOUR OUTGOING MAIL! Like any other piece of software (and |
| | 2 | information generally), the qmail system comes with NO WARRANTY. It's |
| | 3 | much more secure and reliable than sendmail, but that's not saying much. |
| | 4 | |
| | 5 | |
| | 6 | Here's how to upgrade to qmail 1.03. This procedure will overwrite the |
| | 7 | old qmail binaries. Furthermore, it may begin delivering messages from |
| | 8 | the queue before you have had a chance to test it. |
| | 9 | |
| | 10 | |
| | 11 | WARNING for upgrades from 1.00 or 1.01: qlist has been split into a |
| | 12 | separate package. You can obtain it from http://pobox.com/~djb/qlist.html |
| | 13 | if you have any users who need it. |
| | 14 | |
| | 15 | WARNING for upgrades from 1.01: recipientmap is gone. The virtualdomains |
| | 16 | mechanism has been expanded to support virtual users. |
| | 17 | |
| | 18 | |
| | 19 | Before starting, compare conf* to your old conf*, and make any necessary |
| | 20 | changes. You can copy conf* from 1.02. |
| | 21 | |
| | 22 | |
| | 23 | How to install: |
| | 24 | |
| | 25 | 1. Compile the programs and create the formatted man pages: |
| | 26 | # make it man |
| | 27 | |
| | 28 | 2. Inform your users that mail will not be accepted for a few minutes. |
| | 29 | |
| | 30 | 3. Disable deliveries by killing your old qmail-send. Wait for it to |
| | 31 | print ``exiting'' in the log. |
| | 32 | |
| | 33 | 4. Disable SMTP service by commenting out the smtp line in inetd.conf; |
| | 34 | kill -HUP your inetd. (If you are using tcpserver, simply kill -STOP |
| | 35 | your tcpserver. If you are running a QMTP server, disable that too.) |
| | 36 | Wait for current qmail-smtpd processes to die. |
| | 37 | |
| | 38 | 5. Install the new binaries and man pages: |
| | 39 | # make setup check |
| | 40 | |
| | 41 | 6. If your boot scripts are using qmail-start instead of /var/qmail/rc: |
| | 42 | Copy /var/qmail/boot/home to /var/qmail/rc. (Use home+df instead if |
| | 43 | you have installed dot-forward; use proc or proc+df if you are using |
| | 44 | procmail by default for local deliveries.) Compare /var/qmail/rc to |
| | 45 | your qmail-start boot line, and edit /var/qmail/rc if necessary. |
| | 46 | Replace your qmail-start boot line with |
| | 47 | csh -cf '/var/qmail/rc &' |
| | 48 | |
| | 49 | 7. Reenable deliveries: |
| | 50 | # csh -cf '/var/qmail/rc &' |
| | 51 | |
| | 52 | 8. Read TEST.deliver. |
| | 53 | |
| | 54 | 9. Reenable SMTP service by restoring the smtp line in inetd.conf; kill |
| | 55 | -HUP your inetd. (If you are using tcpserver, simply kill -CONT your |
| | 56 | tcpserver. If you are running a QMTP server, reenable that too.) |
| | 57 | |
| | 58 | 10. Read TEST.receive. |
| | 59 | |
| | 60 | |
| | 61 | That's it! To report success: |
| | 62 | % ( echo 'First M. Last'; cat `cat SYSDEPS` ) | mail djb-qst@cr.yp.to |
| | 63 | Replace First M. Last with your name. |
