You have two options
Get and compile source rpms. This has the benefit of being able to review the source before compiling, and compiling for your specific setup.
Or simply get the binary rpms. This has the benefit of simplicity, and not having to worry about having the necessary libraries installed.
You will need:
ucspi-tcp-0.88-1.src.rpm - http://untroubled.org/rpms/ucspi-tcp/
ucspi-unix-0.34-1.src.rpm - http://untroubled.org/ucspi-unix/
daemontools-0.70-3.src.rpm - http://untroubled.org/rpms/daemontools/
supervise-scripts-3.3-1.src.rpm - http://untroubled.org/supervise-scripts/
qmail-1.03+patches-18.src.rpm - http://untroubled.org/qmail+patches/current/
vmailmgr-0.96.9-1.src.rpm - http://www.vmailmgr.org/current/
courier-imap-1.4.3.tar.gz - http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/
Qmail does not come in binary form. Such packages are explicitly disallowed by the author of Qmail, and frustrating as it may be, I understand his reasoning.
Courier-imap does not come in binary form, unless you want to use the one I built. If you want mine, visit http://www.clearrivertech.com/linux/HOWTO/supportfiles/.
VMailMgr does not come in binary form that supports Courier-imap, unless you want to use the one I built. If you want mine, email me, and I will send it.

(*) There may be minor differences in these instructions due to the use of the standard Qmail package. Please review the documentation for Qmail and VMailMgr if any of the files deviates from my instructions. |
Simply run the following command for each package rpm --rebuild <package.src.rpm> -Example-
rpm --rebuild ucspi-tcp-0.88-1.src.rpm rpm --rebuild ucspi-unix-0.34-1.src.rpm rpm --rebuild daemontools-0.70-3.src.rpm rpm --rebuild supervise-scripts-3.3-1.src.rpm |
If you compiled the source rpms, the binaries will be located in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/ or something similar.
Simply run the following command for each package rpm -ivh <location>/<package.i386.rpm>
-Example-
rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/ucspi-tcp-0.88-1.i386.rpm rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/ucspi-unix-0.34-1.i386.rpm rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/daemontools-0.70-3.i386.rpm rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/supervise-scripts-3.3-1.i386.rpm |
Run the following commands for each package (as root) dpkg -i <package.deb>
-Example-
dpkg -i ucspi-tcp_0.88-3_i386.deb dpkg -i ucspi-unix_0.34-1_i386.deb dpkg -i daemontools_0.70-1_i386.deb dpkg -i supervise-scripts_3.3-6_i386.deb |
Run the following commands for each package (As non-root user) tar zxf <package.tar.gz> cd <newly created dir> ./configure make (As root) make setup check (for ucspi-tcp and daemontools) or make install (for ucspi-unix and supervise-scripts)
-Example-
(As non-root user) tar zxf supervise-scripts-2.4.tar.gz cd supervise-scripts-2.4 ./configure make (As root) make setup check or make install |
After installing the support packages, Simply run the following command: rpm --rebuild <package.src.rpm>
-Example-
rpm --rebuild qmail-1.03+patches-18.src.rpm |
After compiling the source rpms, the binaries will be located in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/ or something similar.
Simply run the following command for the qmail package rpm -ivh <location>/<package.i386.rpm>
-Example-
rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/qmail-1.03+patches-18.i386.rpm |
* note start * - Remove sendmail and any dependant applications prior to installing Qmail - by running the following command for each package - rpm -e <packagename>* - - On my system I had to remove sendmail, so I typed - rpm -e sendmail * note end *
Run the following commands for each package (as root) dpkg -i <package.deb>
-Example-
dpkg -i qmail_1.03-17_i386.deb |
Run the following command (As non-root user) tar zxf <package.tar.gz> cd <newly created dir> (Now read the INSTALL file and follow the steps to install Qmail) -Example-
(As non-root user) tar zxf release-18.tar.gz cd release-1.03 vi INSTALL (Read and follow steps) |
Build the courier-imap rpms from the tar file rpm -ta courier-imap-1.4.3.tar.gz
* note start * - This errors out if you compile as root, but if your not root you - wont have permissions to /usr/src/redhat. You will want to build as a - non-root user, so create a ".rpmmacros" file (for rpm v3 and later) in - your home directory containing the line "%_topdir /path/to/home/redhat". - Then create your own "redhat" directory containing all the subdirs that - /usr/src/redhat contains. - You should never build RPMs as root unless you have to. * note end *
* I will mention again, that I have built the binaries, and you can get them at * * http://www.clearrivertech.com/linux/HOWTO/supportfiles/. *
After compiling the source rpms, the binary will be located in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/ or something similar.
Simply run the following command for each package rpm -ivh <location>/<package.i386.rpm>
-Example-
rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/courier-imap-1.4.3.i386.rpm |
Run the following commands for each package (as root) apt-get <package.deb>

There is a problem compliling VMailMGR on RedHat 7.x distros (and maybe other new ones as well). To solve this you must edit the source files These files need to have an #include <string.h> added
lib/misc/exec.cc lib/misc/keystrlist.cc lib/misc/strlist.cc lib/mystring/append.cc authenticate/authvmailmgr.cc |
authenticate/vauthenticate.cc authenticate/checkvpw.cc |
Simply run the following command rpm --rebuild <package.src.rpm> -Example-
rpm --rebuild vmailmgr-0.96.9-1.src.rpm |
