Control Files

The majority of the configuration files are located in the /var/qmail/control directory.

man qmail-control excerpt:

You can change the behavior of the qmail system by modifying qmail's control files in /var/qmail/control.

qmail [but not Qmail-Toaster] can survive with just one control file, me, containing the fully-qualified name of the current host. This file is used as the default for other hostname-related control files.

Comments are allowed in badhelo, badmailfrom, badmailfromnorelay, badmailto, badmailtonorelay, locals, percenthack, qmqpservers, rcpthosts, smtproutes, and virtualdomains. Trailing spaces and tabs are allowed in any [qmail] control file.

Domain Name Server

The Linux Cookbook (O'Reilly) by Carla Schroder has very good recipes for setting up a DNS server. Caching, public and private servers for both bind and djbdns are covered. You can also read it online here.

bind

A very nice tutorial for bind can be found here.

To install a bind caching name server, you can follow these steps. Note: This was done on CentOS 5.4 x86_64, so YMMV.

Do this all as root.

1. Install caching name-server
   • # yum -y install bind caching-nameserver
2. Set named up to run after reboot. And start named
   • # chkconfig named on
   • # service named start
3. Edit /etc/resolv.conf and add the following above other entries
   • nameserver 127.0.0.1
4. Test
   • # dig qmailtoaster.com | grep "^;; SERVER"
   • If you get ";; SERVER: 127.0.0.1#53(127.0.0.1)" then you're good to go.

djbdns

A very nice tutorial for djbdns can be found here.
