[06] HOW DO I SETUP VHOST/VPM EMAIL ACCOUNTS WITH 'MKVPM'?
|
|
|
|
Main reception and redirection is handled by the 'mkvpm' command.
|
|
This will allow you to create POP3 mail accounts for addresses
|
|
associated with your domain. You will also be able to create
|
|
aliases so that you can have typical addresses (like sales@,
|
|
info@, root@ .. et cetera) forward to another address or even
|
|
your ARPA shell account.
|
|
|
|
Keep in mind, you must use 'mkvpm' before any email reception
|
|
or redirection is to occur.
|
|
|
|
'mkvpm' also lets you define a shared secret for SMTP authentication.
|
|
(SDF Supports the CRAM-MD5, DIGEST-MD5 and PLAIN AUTH Mechanisms)
|
|
|
|
Once you have used the 'mkvpm' command, system updates will
|
|
incorporate your changes every 2 hours evenly.
|
|
|
|
When you've created a new 'virtual pop3 mailbox' (ex user@domain.com)
|
|
you can check your messages with these settings:
|
|
|
|
POP3 SERVER: mx.sdf.org
|
|
POP3 USER: user@yourdomain
|
|
POP3 PASS: yourpassword
|
|
|
|
SMTP SERVER: mx.sdf.org
|
|
SMTP USER: yourdomainname@sdf.org
|
|
SMTP PASS: secret
|
|
AUTH TYPE: MD5 Challenge-Response
|
|
|
|
By default you can have up to 50 VPMs associated with each
|
|
domain you have VHOSTed with SDF.
|
|
|
|
'mkvpm' has six commands:
|
|
|
|
add - adds a new email address
|
|
del - deletes an email address
|
|
mod - modifies the POP3 password for an email address
|
|
aka - toggles (on/off) an alias mapped to an email address
|
|
set - creates an SMTP AUTH secret (mandatory for SMTP service)
|
|
all - toggles (on/off) wildcard reception to an email address
|
|
|
|
Please note, aliases can not be deleted, they can only be toggled
|
|
on or off with the 'aka' command.
|
|
|
|
It is also important to note that you can not define other aliases
|
|
if you have wildcarding enabled.
|
|
|
|
You can also list all of your mail files associated with your
|
|
domain with the 'vpmstat' command. This will list all files
|
|
whether they are active or inactive.
|
|
|
|
Old or large mailboxes can be cleared out with the 'vpmclear' command.
|
|
|
|
If you wish to access VPM mailboxes via wm.sdf.org, follow
|
|
these steps:
|
|
|
|
Click on 'options', then pop3 fetch mail. Fill in the necessary
|
|
information with your VPM username and password for the specific
|
|
account you want to fetch. Specify the folder you want the mail
|
|
to go to, by default it goes to your INBOX, but you could have it
|
|
go to a different folder. Click 'add server'. Now you can click
|
|
on 'fetch' in the main menu at any time you want to check VPM mail.
|
|
|
|
==============SETUP EXAMPLES FOR MACOS AND WINDOWS==============
|
|
|
|
To use SMTP AUTH with your VHOST or VPM membership, you will use
|
|
the following information:
|
|
|
|
SMTP server: 'mx.sdf.org' or 'sdfeu.org'
|
|
SMTP LOGIN: The domain name for your VHOST or VPM membership @sdf.org
|
|
SMTP PASSWD: Your secret which you have set with 'mkvpm'
|
|
|
|
EXAMPLES for a VPM mailbox of 'bob@bob.freeshell.org' with a
|
|
password of 'bob' and an SMTP AUTH secret of 'FUBAR':
