QMail Under OpenSUSE 12.1
Hi all!



I am having an issue where I am trying to install netqmail/qmail under
OpenSuSE 12.1 and I am able to get everything to build, however, it does
not look as if daemontools is starting at any point. Grepping a ps for
svscan doesn't yield any results. Is there some change I need to make
here in order to get this to run?



TIA!

Robert

I had the same problem today on Ubuntu. The solution there was to use this
file. Another location for this file could be /etc/event/svscan.conf



~$ cat /etc/init/svscan.conf

# svscan - daemontools

#

# This service starts daemontools from the point the system is

# started until it is shut down again.



start on runlevel [123456]

stop on shutdown



respawn

exec /usr/bin/svscanboot







met vriendelijke groet,

Ok, but was not able to locate either of these files L Here is my
version of OpenSUSE 12.1's kernel:



Linux mailout 3.1.9-1.4-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Jan 27 08:55:10 UTC
2012 (efb5ff4) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux



Would it be best if I used the 32 bit version?

Actually, the SuSE people decided to move away from the init runlevel scripts to another method (systemd).
As usual, they screw up things such, it is hard to tell how the system is actually working (remember the famous yast).

See: http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Systemd

Whether 64 or 32 bit doesn't make a difference.

regards.

You need to write /lib/systemd/system/qmail.service

Take a look at the link below (just replace indimail with qmail in the
article below)

Thanks :) Will fire up the OpenSuSE VM later today and play with it some more then.

My next question regards blocking emails from certain TLDs like .info and .biz. I have tried to goggle the answer, but have not yet been able to find one.
