SquirrelMail Configuration Easy Steps (SquirrelMail + Sendmail + Apache On RedHat/CentOS/Fedora)

This tutorial explains how you can install and configure SquirrelMail on a RedHat/CentOS/Fedora based mail server which uses Sendmail and Apache. Scenario: Primary Mail Server: linuxbox4 (192.168.0.14) Domain Name: Trusted IP Pool: 192.168.0.0/24 abc.com
Note: Replace domain name and system name and IP according to your scenario.
Prerequisites:
1. DNS is configured with proper MX record. 2. All necessary packages/ softwares are installed.
Step 1:
Configure all service to start at boot time. chkconfig sendmail on chkconfig httpd on chkconfig dovecot on
Step 2:
Configure /etc/hosts file. In this scenario /etc/hosts file should look like this:
192.168.0.14
linuxbox4
www.abc.com
Step 3: Outgoing Mail Server Configuration (Sendmail): Open /etc/mail/sendmail.mc file and change the following two lines. From:
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl

FEATURE(`accept_unresolvable_domains')dnl
To:
dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl dnl FEATURE(`accept_unresolvable_domains')dnl
Save and exit.
- First line here enables sendmail to receive incoming emails on all installed the NICs. Otherwise mail server would only be abl to receive mails from it.
- Second line here tells sendmail, do not receive emails from mail servers whose PTR record is not configured in DNS server. This is a basic level SPAM control settings in sendmail. Generate sendmail.cf file from sendmail.mc file. m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf

Step 4:
Allow RELAY for trusts (organization's) IP addresses that you want to permit sending emails using this mail server. Open /etc/mail/access in this file we specify all those addresses that will be sending emails through this mail server. At the end of this file add the following line:
192.168.0 RELAY
Save and exit and convert this text database into DB format by following command. makemap hash access.db < access
Step 5:
Tell sendmail that it will be acting as a primary mail server for "abc.com" domain. We do this by adding domain name in domains in this file on separate line. Open /etc/mail/local-host-names and add "abc.com" at the end of this file. Note: A mail server can act as a primary mail server for more then one domains at the same time and as well as can act as a primary and secondary mail server for more than one domain at the same time.
/etc/mail/local-host-names. If this server is acting as a mail server for more then one domains then add names of all of th
Step 6:
All system users are mail users as well. Now create mail only users. useradd -s /usr/sbin/smrsh mailuser1 useradd -s /usr/s2n/smrsh mailuser1 Also set their passwords: passwd mailuser1 passwd mailuser2
Step 7:
Finally restart sendmail service.
