Installing and Configuring OpenMail on an HP OmniBook 5700 Laptop with Red Hat Linux 6.1
---------------------------------------------------------------
Origin: http://www.openmail.com/cyc/om/00/showfile.cgi?100-1546
---------------------------------------------------------------
This document provides an overview on how to install and configure
OpenMail on a HP OmniBook 5700 CTX Laptop running Red Hat Linux 6.1. The HP
Laptop provides a nice demonstration system for customers, resellers and
other third party OpenMail providers. Not only can the OpenMail server
software be demonstrated, but also popular messaging clients (e.g., the
Netscape IMAP or POP client, the OpenMail Web client, the OpenMail Linux
GUI) can all be demonstrated from within the same system.
This document can also be used as a guide for installing and
configuring a production OpenMail system using Red Hat 6.1 on another Intel
based system other than a laptop. While it should be considered work in
progress, it does provide the necessary steps for getting an OpenMail system
operational. It will also provide some tips on configuring the system that
may not have been considered during initial install or configuration
process.Building an OpenMail Linux Demo System on an HP OmniBook 5700 Laptop

Installing & Configuring OpenMail v6.0 & SendMail 8.9.3 on a HP
OmniBook 5700 CTX Laptop
Profile: Demo OpenMail Linux System
SendMail configuration will be very specific to a customer's
implementation. OpenMail installs the necessary OpenMail rulesets and
mailers into the "sendmail.cf" configuration file. However, it does not set
up specific routing, aliases and hostname information that may be required
for proper operation.
The following files are configuration files that can be modified for
SendMail:
╖ /etc/sendmail.cf
╖ /etc/sendmail.cw
╖ /etc/aliases
Customize these files for your OpenMail Linux Demo environment.
With the version of SendMail that is installed with Red Hat 6.1
(v8.9.3), a mailertable can be created such that all mail from a specific
domain can be routed into OpenMail automatically.
The initial file "/etc/mailertable" is a zero (0) length file when
installed.
To restart SendMail:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail stop
/etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail start
Install the OpenMail v6.0 server & the OpenMail GUI Client software
1. Login as "root"
2. Start a terminal window
3. Insert the "Red Hat Third Party Server Applications" CD
Note: the CD should mount automatically on /mnt/cdrom
4. The OpenMail Software is located under "/mnt/cdrom/HP"
5. Install the OpenMail server software by running:
rpm -i /mnt/cdrom/HP/openmail-core-eval-6.0-1.i386.rpm
6. Proceed with the OpenMail Server Software "Core" installation
7. Install the desired OpenMail Languages (American English in this
case):
rpm -i /mnt/cdrom/HP/openmail-lang-American-6.0-1.i386.rpm
8. Proceed with the OpenMail language installation
9. Install the OpenMail GUI client software
rpm -i /mnt/cdrom/HP/openmail-gui-6.0-1.i386.rpm
10. Proceed with the OpenMail GUI installation
11. Run "ominstall": /opt/openmail/B.06.00.00/bin/ominstall
Note: you should check the /tmp/ominstall.log for errors when complete
12. unmount and remove the CD, type "umount /mnt/cdrom"
Install the Latest OpenMail Patch (EP1, February 2000 Patch)
1. Login as "root"
2. Insert the " OpenMail Media Subscription Service Quarterly Patch CD,
February 2000 (EP1)" CD
Note: the CD should mount automatically on /mnt/cdrom
3. The OpenMail server software is located under
"/mnt/cdrom/SERVER/6.0/LINUX"
4. Remove the current OpenMail language installation (American English
in this case):
rpm -e openmail-lang-American-6.0-1
5. Remove the current OpenMail core software
rpm -e openmail-core-6.0-1
6. Install the OpenMail February 2000 EP1 Patch software by running:
rpm -i /mnt/cdrom/SERVER/6.0/LINUX/openmail-core-6.0.5-7.i386.rpm
7. Install the desired OpenMail Languages (American English in this
case):
rpm -i
/mnt/cdrom/SERVER/6.0/LINUX/openmail-lang-American-6.0.5-7.i386.rpm
Note: there is a bug in the OpenMail EP1 (February 2000) patch for the
PAW Web Client profile. The workaround is to:
╖ cd /var/opt/openmail/omhtml/PAW-AMERICAN:
mv diratt.search.std diratt.search
mv profile.std profile
╖ cd /var/opt/openmail/omhtml/PAW-AMERICAN/pers:
mv PINSTRIPE.std PINSTRIPE
mv default.std default
╖ cd /var/opt/openmail/omhtml/PAW-C:
mv diratt.search.std diratt.search
mv profile.std profile
╖ cd /var/opt/openmail/omhtml/PAW-C/pers:
mv PINSTRIPE.std PINSTRIPE
mv default.std default
Note: if you have other languages installed, this will need to be done
for those as well.
This will be fixed in the next (EP2, May 2000) OpenMail patch release.
Note: make sure that the OpenMail binaries are accessible via your
"PATH" environment variable (export PATH=$PATH:/opt/openmail/bin)
Start OpenMail for the 1st Time:
omrc
omon -s all
execute "omstat -a & omstat -s" to verify OpenMail is operational.
Note: you may see the "Application Link Server" as "Aborted" when
finished with this process. That's ok, ignore this message for now.
Add the 1st (primary) MailNode:
omaddmn -m <primary mailnode name>
Note: in lieu of a creative name to use for a mailnode name, you can
use the system name for the primary mailnode.
Create a "Pool" of OpenMail Unix ID's for use by OpenMail:
omadmidp -a -s 1001 -n 11000
Check the creation of the pool "omadmidp -u -q"
Create the "FREEBUSY" directory:
omaddfb
Check the creation of the directory by running "omlistdirs -L"
Add the Error Notification User (ENU) Account:
omaddu -n "Error Manager/<primary mailnode name>" -c admin -l C
-p error -F
Configure the Error Notification User (ENU) Account:
omconfenu -n "Error Manager/<primary mailnode name>"
Add an OpenMail administration user account:
omaddu -n "Admin Manager/<primary mailnode name>" -c admin -l C
-p error -F
Configure the OpenMail CDA server:
omaddcda -d system -r 60
Force the first build of the Directory Access Tables for the SYSTEM
directory:
omexeccda

Check the OpenMail Routes:
omshowrt -q all
LOCAL <primary mailnode>
UNIX internet MIME
UNIX <primary mailnode>,sh SHAR
UNIX <primary mailnode>,uu UUENCODE
Edit /etc/inetd.conf and add the following lines:
# OpenMail POP3 Service
pop-3 stream tcp nowait root /opt/openmail/bin/in.pop3d in.pop3d
Note: the following line should already be in /etc/services
pop-3 110/tcp # POP Version 3
Restart inetd:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/inet stop
/etc/rc.d/init.d/inet start
The OpenMail IMAP4 daemon is automatically started as one of the
OpenMail "services".
Therefore, it is already configured. To view the status, type:
omstat -a
Note: the following line should already be in /etc/services
imap2 143/tcp imap # Interim Mail Access Proto V2
Edit /var/opt/openmail/sys/dit.cfg and make the following entry
"blank":
DIT_DIRECTORY=
Edit /var/opt/openmail/sys/slapd.conf and make sure these are the only
lines in the file:
database om
suffix ""
flatSuffix "ou=<primary mailnode>"
directory SYSTEM
sizelimit 100
timelimit 15
useDit false
Restart the OpenMail LDAP daemon (slapd):
omoff -d 0 -a slapd
omon -a slapd
Edit the general.cfg file:
BRW_NAME_MAPPING=TRUEUAL_POP3_HOSTNAME=<primary mailnode>
UAL_SIGNON_ALIAS=YESUAL_SIGNON_ALIAS_CONFIG=SYSUAL_USE_SIGNON_ALIAS=FALSEUXI_NAME_MAPPING=TRUEUXO_NAME_MAPPING=TRUECDA_CHECKTIME=60CDA_USE_CHANGE_LOG=TRUEUAL_SIZE_ERR_TO_USER

IMAP_IDLE_TIMEOUT=31
IM_MAKE_MSG_ID_GLOBAL_UNIQUE=FALSE
UAL_SINGLE_TEMP_DIR=/var/opt/openmail/temp
Set up the Licenses for the Server:
Obtain the "Password Certificate" from the appropriate source (check
http://www.hp.com/go/openmail for more detail).
Edit the "/var/opt/ifor/nodelock" file
Enter the "passwords" for:
1. B2016BZ (OpenMail Mailbox License)
2. B2020BZ (OpenMail HP Client License)
3. B2269BZ (OpenMail Japanese GUI Driver License)
4. B2274BZ (OpenMail cc:Mail R6 Driver License)
5. B2275BZ (OpenMail Outlook Driver License)
6. B2264BZ (OpenMail HP Mobile Client License)
Note: this sets up the "nodelock" file for licensing.
Once complete, verify license installation by running "omshowlic -v".
Note: for Linux the directory "/var/opt/ifor" may not exist and may
need to be created.
Run "omdisksprd" (optional):
omshut
omdisksprd 0 /var/opt/openmail/data1 1 /var/opt/openmail/data2 1
/var/opt/openmail/data3 1 /var/opt/openmail/data4 1 /var/opt/openmail/data5
1 /var/opt/openmail/data6 1
Note: for this demo system, this step can be skipped.
Set up Password Controls (optional):
Password controls are flexible and as such can be set up in any manner
that fits the business need. For each OpenMail toaster, this is what is
recommended:
Expiration
180 days
Minimum Length
5 characters
Options
must contain at least one alphanumeric and one numeric character
Illegal Tries
5
omconfpwd -e 180 -l 5 -c an -k 5
Check the controls by running:
omshowpwd
Note: for this demo system, this step can be skipped.
Message Store Limits (optional):
Set the Message Store Limits for the Demo System. This system has about
1.5gb of usable message store space. With 10 users, this equates to 150mb
per user. So, for each user it is recommended that you allow for 50mb of
In-Tray space and 100mb of File Cabinet space. Run the following command:
omlimit -g -i 50 -f 100
Note: for this demo system, this step can be skipped.
Configure v6.0 PQA "auxiliary" processes (optional):
First, shutdown the processes that will need to be updated: "omoff -d 0
-s rtr local sendmail unix"
Now run:
omsetsvc -x router 20
omsetsvc -x local 20
omsetsvc -x sendmail 20
omsetsvc -x unix 20
Now, turn the processes back on: "omon -s rtr local sendmail unix"
Note: for this demo system, this step can be skipped.
Remove the "ISS" process from automatic startup:
The Item Structure Server Process is installed and running by default.
Change the startup flag on the ISS service by running:
omsetsvc -a iss n
This will insure the Item Structure Server process is not started by
default, but is still available if needed. It will also be viewable by
omstat and remain in the "stopped" state while OpenMail is in operation.
Remove the "Application Link Server" process from automatic startup:
The Application Link Server Process is installed and running by
default. Although, at first start, it may be in an "aborted" state. Check
the status by running: omstat -s. Change the startup flag on the Application
Link Server service by running:
omsetsvc -a "Application Link Server" n
This will insure the Application Link Server process is not started by
default, but is still available if needed. It will also be viewable by
omstat and remain in the "stopped" state while OpenMail is in operation.
At this point in the configuration process, it's time to restart all
processes.
Type: "omshut" to shutdown all of OpenMail.
Once complete, type: "omrc" to start it all back up again.
Setup an Apache Web Server on the Demo box
Red Hat Linux 6.1 has an Apache Web server installed as part of the
initial install process. It will need to be configured so that the OpenMail
Web Clients can access OpenMail.
The main directories & files for the Apache Server are:
/var/log/httpd
/home/httpd
/usr/sbin/httpd
/var/cache/httpd
/var/lock/subsys/httpd
/var/run/httpd.pid
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd
/etc/httpd
Change directory to "/home/httpd/cgi-bin" (cd /home/httpd/cgi-bin) and
add the following links:
╖ ln -s /opt/openmail/bin/ice.cgi ice.cgi
╖ ln -s /opt/openmail/bin/omhtml.cgi omhtml.cgi
╖ ln -s /opt/openmail/bin/select.cgi select.cgi
╖ ln -s /opt/openmail/bin/webselect.cgi webselect.cgi
Change directory to "/home/httpd/html" (cd /home/httpd/html) and add
the following link:
╖ ln -s /var/opt/openmail/omhtml omhtml
Change directory to "/etc/httpd/conf" (cd /etc/httpd/conf) and edit
"access.conf"
Change this section of the config file to look like this:
<Directory /home/httpd/cgi-bin>
AllowOverride None
Options ExecCGI Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks
</Directory>
Restart the Web Server:
To stop the Apache Web server:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd stop
To start the Apache Web server:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start
To access the different OpenMail Web Client Profiles, point your
browser to the following urls:
http://<yourdemoservername>/cgi-bin/ice.cgi -> OpenMail v6.0
Web Client
http://<yourdemoservername>/cgi-bin/omhtml.cgi -> OpenMail
v5.x Web Client
http://<yourdemoservername>/cgi-bin/ice.cgi/prof=PAW-C ->
OpenMail v6.0 Personal Administration Wizard (PAW)
or
http://<yourdemoservername>/cgi-bin/webselect.cgi -> to access
the web profile selector.
Add OpenMail Users & their respective Internet-Addr (attribute 167)
information
Demo users and accounts must be installed on the system prior to the
demo box use. Use the "omaddu" utility to add users to the system.
In addition, the internet address associated with this OpenMail account
must be added separately. This is the internet address that this person will
send/receive mail as. To do this, use the "ommodent" utility to modify a
users directory entry.
OpenMail Client Configuration and Access
The OpenMail Linux Demo box is ready for use. Review any of the client
installation documentation from the main OpenMail web site to determine how
and which clients you would like to connect to OpenMail.
Note: these steps can be skipped for the OpenMail Linux demo box. They
are documented here to use as a guideline for other "non-demo" systems.
This next section is to be used as a guide to help with "day-to-day"
operations. No one organization has a "standard" way of operating their
messaging environment. This is to be used as a guide to help determine the
processes and functions to execute the tasks necessary to keep OpenMail in
good working order. It is a guide only and may not be all-inclusive.
Some of the tasks necessary to monitor the health of the OpenMail
system include:
1. Check all services are running
2. Check Error Manager
3. Check Message Movement
4. Check Error Queues (e.g., SMERR)
5. Check for System Messages
6. Disk Usage
7. omscan
8. Directory (omexeccda)
Some standard scripts that would help would be to:
1. A script to run omtidyallu to clean up the waste can area
2. A script to age the OpenMail & Sendmail logs
3. A script to run omscan
4. A script to do backups automatically (see the "Backups" section)
5. A script to check OpenMail process health
6. A script to check queues
7. A script to check disk space utilization
8. A script to check the error queues
9. A script to modify the SendMail alias file if necessary
This system is designed with disk mirroring. The system can be backed
up in one of three ways:
1. online, without shutting down OpenMail
2. offline, shutdown OpenMail
3. online, by splitting mirrors
Number three (#3) above is recommended for this system.
OpenMail modifies the SendMail configuration file by default to add in
the OpenMail mailers. However, it does not make the necessary modifications
for SendMail to run in your specific environment. In fact, it is assumed
that the network infrastructure and any SendMail configuration necessary is
completed before OpenMail is installed. OpenMail uses SendMail as a
transport mechanism only and does not check to make sure it is in working
order.
At a minimum, you will need to add any network routes (using the "route
add" command) to add network routes to other mail systems, gateways, DNS
servers, NIS servers, Web servers, etc. Also, you can make changes to the
"/etc/nsswitch.conf" as needed.
Virus Scanning (Optional):
Trend Micro's "ScanMail" product for OpenMail can be integrated with
the OpenMail system to perform virus scanning.
http://www.antivirus.com
Message Delivery Rulesets:
Create and edit the message delivery ruleset file:
"vi /var/opt/openmail/rules/off-peak"
and enter the following rule filters into the file:
# low priority messages will not be delivered between 9am-11am
# and 1pm-3pm Monday thru Friday
PRIORITY=LOW ACTION=DEFER DAY=1-5 TIME=09:00-11:00
PRIORITY=LOW ACTION=DEFER DAY=1-5 TIME=13:00-15:00
# messages with more than 1000 BCC recipients will not be
# delivered between 9am and 5pm Monday thru Friday
BCC-COUNT=1000 ACTION=DEFER DAY=1-5 TIME=09:00-17:00
# messages with more than 2000 recipients will not be
# delivered between 9am and 5pm Monday thru Friday
DL-COUNT=2000 ACTION=DEFER DAY=1-5 TIME=09:00-17:00
# messages that are larger than 50mb will not
# delivered between 9am and 5pm Monday thru Friday
SIZE=50000 ACTION=DEFER DAY=1-5 TIME=09:00-17:00
Change the ownership of the file:
"chown openmail:hpoffice /var/opt/openmail/rules/off-peak"
Modify the route(s) to add the message delivery ruleset:
"ommodrt -m <primary mailnode> -d off-peak"
Note: the other routes should modified as well.
Check that the rulesets are in place:
"omshowrt -q all -d"
Restart the service router:
"omoff -d 0 -s rtr"
"omon -s rtr"
There are a couple of tools in the contributed library that can help
set up or delete users in batches. Also, the Admin Manager tool can help
with adding/modifying/deleting users.
One of the tools in the contributed library will set up a Public
Distribution List (PDL) for all local users on the box. At a minimum, this
script (or one similar) should be installed.
Configure Directory Synchronization:
If there are other OpenMail or Microsoft Exchange systems in the
network, then directory synchronization can be set up using OpenMail's
dirsync commands.
Request Server scripts can be added for anything. Examples include:
1. A script to add/modify/delete a PDL
2. A script to report on output from an omscan run
3. A script to change a password for a user
These are several examples, but anything that would help the user or
administration can be developed.
Bulletin Board Configuration:
Any public or private BB's need to be set up.
There are a number of third party products that can help with Operating
your OpenMail system. They include:
OpenTime Calendaring: http://www.cst.ca
OpenScope InfoDirect: http://www.openscope.com
