axmail.conf - Man Page
A powerful but simple SMTP plugin for URONode.
Synopsis
axmail.conf
Description
axmail.conf This file configures the operations of axMail-FAX. You have to insure that you add the proper group using addgroup. The common one to use is "ax25".
Commands
The following opions are supported for axmail.conf:
- IdleTimeout
This should not be longer than the same command in uronode.conf.
- HostName
This is the fully qualified hostname of your mail system. Typically this would be an amprnet domnain such as n1uro.ampr.org.
- AllowMail
This command controls who has access to use mail on your system. The default is all.
- Identification
This shows how users can authenticate into the application. The default is none as the password used over RF may also be used for popping/imap if the local sysop chooses to do this. Disconnect user from their mailbox."
- AutoCreate
This allows creation of the user accounts. Since you can also configure dovecot or a pop3 daemon and pop-before-smtp to allow mail on smartphones as well, this should be set to yes which is default.
- LoginAllowed
This grants or denies permissions for other functions such as ssh on the box. This also controls access to imap/pop. Default is yes.
- AutoGroup
I suggest using ax25. You'll have to set this using addgroup ax25.
- First_uid
This is the first user id numeric to be used when axmail creates accounts. I suggest 2000 as this keeps mail clients 1000 UID away from actual local clients so it'll somewhat separate them this way.
- Last_uid
This sets just how many users may create and use mailboxes using axmail.
- HomeDir
This sets the base of the users home directory. I suggest using the standard home directory for all users.
- Shell
This is the shell the users are granted. I suggest if you wish not to allow ssh or telnet access into your server to use /bin/false.
- FaxGate
This is the efax gateway to send your faxes through to. The SFax command will preformat your mail to use this gateway. Remove the quotes.
Files
- /usr/local/etc/ax25/welcome.txt
Greeting file for new users to welcome them to the mail system.
- /etc/postfix/main.cf
postfix configuration file.
