Install qmqtool for Qmail on Centos

Now that you have installed Qmail, you will probably want to install and use qmqtool. This tool helps you manage the mail when using qmqtool.

Qmqtool - a qmail queue manipulation program geared towards the viewing and safe modification of the contents in a qmail queue

Qmqtool is a utility designed for viewing and safely modifying the contents of a qmail queue. It is extremely feature rich, with features including finding abusers, sorting messages by sender/sender's IP, showing stats, requeueing messages, queue consistency check, queue backup/restore, and more...

cd /downloads/
wget http://www.briansnelson.com/stuff/qmail/qmqtool-1.14.tgz
tar zxvfp /downloads/qmqtool-1.14.tgz
cd /downloads/qmqtool-1.14/
./configure --perl=/usr/bin/perl --qmaildir=/var/qmail
make && make install 
ln -s /usr/local/script/qmqtool /usr/local/bin/qmqtool 

Thats it now your done, Just type qmqtool to see how to use it.

I also have that in a script, so when I install qmail on a new server, I just download the script and run it. If you would like you can download the script and run also, instead of type the above out.

mkdir /scripts
cd /scripts
wget http://www.briansnelson.com/stuff/qmail/install-qmqtool.script
bash install-qmqtool.script
