Configuration files

qmail & qpsmtpd configuration files

qpsmtpd was originally designed as a drop-in replacement for qmail-smtpd, so it will read the following qmail configuration files.

These files will be read from either the qmail configuration direct at (/var/qmail/control, by default) or qpsmtpd's own config directory (config/). The config directory is assumed to be within the path of the enviroment variable (QPSMTPD_CONFIG).

IP

The file config/IP is used on startup to decide what IP address qpsmtpd should bind to.

me

The file config/me is used by qpsmtpd to set the name the server is known by. This should be a FQDN that resolves to an IP address of the server. There is no default, this file must exist.

databytes

The file config/databytes determines the maximum size of messages qpsmtpd will accept, in bytes. The default is not to have a limit (except memory and storage limitations, of course). This file is used by lib/Qpsmtpd/SMTP.pm.

require_resolvable_fromhost

If the file config/require_resolvable_fromhost contains anything but a 0 on the first line, envelope senders will be checked against DNS. If an A or a MX record can't be found the mail command will return a soft rejection (450).

smtpgreeting

The file config/smtpgreeting overrides the default SMTP greeting displayed to whatever text is in this file. Default is hostname and version of qpsmtpd running.

spool_dir

The file config/spool_dir can contain the name of a directory that will be the spool directory qpsmtpd uses during the data transactions. If this file doesnt exist, it will default to use $ENV{HOME}/tmp/. This directory should be set with a mode of 700 and owned by the smtpd user.

timeoutsmtpd

The file config/timeoutsmtpd (same as for qmail) specifies the number of seconds to wait for a response from the remote client before timing it out and closing connection. It defaults to 1200 seconds.
