The qmailrocks.org qmail Installation guide
for Redhat, RHEL & Fedora
As it is now, I've split the Redhat qmail installation up into 20 sections which are listed below. Simply start at step 1and follow it all the way to completion. By the time you reach step 20, you should have a kickass qmail server. This installation has been tested on Redhat 7.x,8 and 9 as well as Redhat Enterprise Linux 3 and Fedora Core 1, 2 and 3.

Before You Start! - When installing qmail, I would STRONGLY reccomend that you first conduct a test installation on a test server if you have one available. I cannot stress this enough. If you're new to qmail, chances are you will probably screw the install up the first time through. Do yourself a favor and screw up on a test server that has no importance to you! I had to learn this the hard way. ;) |
