Additional MX with qmail

From Docupedia

Get all the binaries from the master qmail server

copy everything into /opt on the new server. Make sure you get all of qmail, maildrop, daemontools, ucspi-tcp then go through the /opt/qmail directory and make all the necessary changes for the backup server. This will require you to update its ldap connection and also tweak a couple other settings. smtpcerts

make sure you rsync like a pro

sudo rsync -avz --delete -e ssh /opt/ foobar.alkaloid.net:/opt

Generate a cert and key and bundle them together with cat. Place it into your ssl folder

Then tweak dovecots ldap file /opt/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf and update ldap settings.

Install the daemontools rpm and create the folder /etc/supervise.d also install the ucspi-tcp rpm that is in bens home directory with the daemontools rpm

Add the following to the /etc/inittab

# end of /etc/inittab
SV:123456:respawn:/usr/bin/svscanboot

Then give a sudo init q to reset the inittab

If you install the alkaloid rpm install the updated script into /usr/bin/svscanboot
