I'm following Tom Clegg's guide on how to install qmail on Linux (the best I can anyhow) and in the section of his guide headlines 'Switching mail service from sendmail to qmail', I'm unfamiliar with specifically what I need to and wondered if someone could point me in the right direction.
The instruction is:-
Translate /home/*/.forward to /home/*/.qmail (details omitted).
Followed by:-
Translate /etc/mail/virtusertable to /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-* and /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains (details omitted).
I'm not familiar with what I should be typing in my terminal for this section (I'm not even sure what this command does either). The Translate
command is not found if I try the above - what does the details omitted refer to as well, should I replacing this with something here?
It means "read the manual for qmail-local and re-create the same configuration in the format used by qmail-local".
