Mail config re-vamp
OK all - I re-vamped the mail config on our servers.
I removed sendmail from yukon with rpm -e's.
I re-installed qmail on vodka with src rpm's. Just to make it a little easier to
manage down the road. In addition to that, qmail no longer runs through inetd...
it runs through ucspi-tcp (ftp://koobera.math.uic.edu/www/ucspi-tcp.html if yur
interested). This is labeled as "required" for qmail 1.03 though obviously it
isn't as we were running it under inetd. :) Figured I'd change it since it was
required for QMQP.
I enabled QMQP on vodka (Quick Mail Queueing Protocol) which runs via qmail
daemons.
I installed mini-qmail onto Yukon. Yukon will not answer port 25 requests. All
outgoing mail from Yukon will be handed off to vodka via QMQP for delivery, by
mini-qmail.
In essence, vodka is our smart mail host, and yukon is a client to it. yukon runs
no mail daemons what-so-ever. :) I like that.
