Setting up email routing with qmail

From Eventum

[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.

~/.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 (http://cvs.pld-linux.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/SOURCES/eventum-router-qmail.sh)] script from [PLD Linux (http://www.pld-linux.org/)] to do so. Additionally to invoking the PHP scripts that script maps the postfix style exit codes to qmail exit codes.
