XMail mail server

Installed xmail, it will put executables in /usr/bin and MailRoot in /tmp
I copied MailRoot to my stick
cd /tmp
cp -rp MailRoot /www/
I created the start script XMail in /etc/init.d/ with the following - you should edit XMAIL_ROOT variable

#!/bin/sh
# example file to build /etc/init.d/ scripts.

echo $DAEMON
test -f $DAEMON || exit 0

start_xmail() {
MAIL_ROOT=$XMAIL_ROOT
export MAIL_ROOT
MAIL_CMD_LINE=$XMAIL_CMD_LINE
export MAIL_CMD_LINE
$DAEMON
while [ ! -f /var/run/$NAME.pid ]
do
  sleep 1
done
}
 
stop_xmail() {
if [ -f /var/run/$NAME.pid ]
then
  echo `date` > $XMAIL_ROOT/.shutdown
  kill `cat /var/run/$NAME.pid`
  sleep 1
  #while [ -f $XMAIL_ROOT/.shutdown ]
  #do
  # sleep 1
  #done
fi
}
 
 
case "$1" in
start)
  echo -n "Starting $DESC: "
  start_xmail
  echo "$NAME.[" `cat /var/run/$NAME.pid` "]"
;;
stop)
  echo -n "Stopping $DESC: "
  stop_xmail
  echo "$NAME."

  echo -n "Restarting $DESC: "
  stop_xmail

  N=/opt/etc/init.d/Xmail
  echo "Usage: $N {start|stop|restart|force-reload}" > &2
  exit 1

esac
exit 0

create MailRoot/ctrlaccounts.tab
cd <MailRoot directory>
XMCrypt <The password you like for admin account>
vi ctrlaccounts.tab and insert one line with the username<tab>output from above line
start Xmail with /etc/init.d/Xmail start - first time will take some time because Xmail will create a spool structure in MailRoot/spool directory
sendmail there comes with Xmail need MAIL_ROOT variable so i did the following
mv /usr/bin/sendmail /www/MailRoot/bin/sendmail.org

created /www/MailRoot/bin/sendmail.xmail.sh with the following:

#!/bin/sh
export DEFAULT_DOMAIN="domain.org"
if [ -z $MAIL_ROOT ]; then
      export MAIL_ROOT=/www/MailRoot
fi
$PWD/sendmail.org $*

chmod +x /www/MailRoot/bin/sendmail.xmail.sh
ln -s /www/MailRoot/sendmail.xmail.sh /usr/bin/sendmail
you should now me able to use sendmail the normal way
eg. sendmail -s xxx@yyy.zzz
enter some text and press ctrl D
I order to configure Xmail with domains and users i advice you to install phpxmail 1.5, find it here http://phpxmail.sourceforge.net/
If you want Webmail i recommend http://www.telaen.org/, but use sendmail when you configure it as smtp access will take a little time if you configure the spam filter,
If you want outlook skin I have this working on OpenWrt
