Eventum:Setting up email routing with qmail
[edit] Quick Notes
When you're setting up Eventum's Email Routing Interface for qmail, use these options in the Administration -> General Setup area:
Email Routing Interface: Enabled Recipient Type Flag: [doesn't matter, choose any] Email Address Prefix: issue- Address Hostname: [the domain name of the email address issues should be sent to] Warn Users Whether They Can Send Emails to Issue: [doesn't matter, choose any]
In your /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains, add the line:
yourdomain.com:eventum
Then reload your qmail (as root):
# svc -t /service/qmail-send
NB: The reload procedure may vary depending on your qmail installation.
That directs all of the incoming emails for issue-xyz@yourdomain.com to the unix account called "eventum" on the mail server.
[edit] ~/.qmail files
for mails being pushed to eventum you need to create ~/.qmail-* files:
.qmail-issue-default - handles issue-XXX@yourdomain.com mails .qmail-note-default - handles note-XXX@yourdomain.com mails .qmail-draft-default - handles draft-XXX@yourdomain.com mails .qmail-default - catchall address for @yourdomain.com mails
the files contents should in general invoke route_TYPE.php file from Eventum installation. For example ~/.qmail-issue-default:
cd /usr/share/eventum && /usr/bin/php route_issues.php
You may use [this] script from [PLD Linux] to do so. Additionally to invoking the PHP scripts that script maps the postfix style exit codes to qmail exit codes.
