一、dns的配置:
我的配置如下所示：
[root@server2 named]# cat rhel5.com.cn.zone
$TTL    86400
@               IN SOA  ns1.rhel5.com.cn.       root (
                                        2009032909      ; serial (d. adams)
                                        3H              ; refresh
                                        15M             ; retry
                                        1W              ; expiry
                                        1D )            ; minimum
                IN NS           ns1.rhel5.com.cn.
               IN   MX  10     mail.rhel5.com.cn.
ns1             IN A            192.168.1.12
www             IN A            192.168.1.12
mail            IN A            192.168.1.12
ftp             IN A            192.168.1.12
proxy           IN A            192.168.1.12
[root@server2 named]# cat 192.168.1.zone
$TTL    86400
@       IN      SOA     ns1.rhel5.com. root  (
                                      2009032907 ; Serial
                                      28800      ; Refresh
                                      14400      ; Retry
                                      3600000    ; Expire
                                      86400 )    ; Minimum
        IN      NS      ns1.rhel5.com.
11      IN      PTR     ns1.rhel5.com.
        IN      PTR     [url]www.rhel5.com.[/url]
        IN      PTR     mail.rhel5.com.
        IN      PTR     ftp.rhel5.com.
        IN      PTR     server1.rhel5.com.
        IN      PTR     proxy.rhel5.com.
12      IN      PTR     ns1.rhel5.com.cn.
        IN      PTR     server2.rhel5.com.
        IN      PTR     [url]www.rhel5.com.cn.[/url]
        IN      PTR     mail.rhel5.com.cn.
        IN      PTR     ftp.rhel5.com.cn.
        IN      PTR     proxy.rhel5.com.cn.
13      IN      PTR     server3.rhel5.com.
二、sendmail相关软件包安装：
sendmail-8.13.8-2.el5.i386.rpm
sendmail-devel-8.13.8-2.el5.i386.rpm
sendmail-cf-8.13.8-2.el5.i386.rpm
sendmail-doc-8.13.8-2.el5.i386.rpm
m4-1.4.5-3.el5.1.i386.rpm
dovecot-1.0.7-7.el5.i386.rpm
建议用yum安装，可以自动解决依赖问题。
sendmail的配置文件主要存在与/etc/mail目录下:
[root@server2 mail]# ls
access       domaintable.db    mailertable     sendmail.cf   submit.cf      trusted-users
access.db    helpfile          mailertable.db  sendmail.mc   submit.cf.bak  virtusertable
domaintable  local-host-names  Makefile        spamassassin  submit.mc      virtusertable.db
三个名词解释：
MUA：邮件用户代理（Mail User Agent）
MTA：邮件传输代理（Mail Transfer Agent）
MDA：邮件递送代理（Mail Delivery Agent）
三、配置sendmail:
主要步骤：
（1）配置sendmail.mc文件
[root@server2 mail]# vi sendmail.mc
设置SMTP的用户认证,找到以下两行，取消前面的注释，如下所示：
TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`EXTERNAL DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')dnl
define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `EXTERNAL GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')dnl
找到下行，将smtp侦听范围127.0.0.1改为0.0.0.0
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=0.0.0.0, Name=MTA')dnl
修改域,找到LOCAL_DOMAIN(`localhost.localdomain')dnl此行,将其改为LOCAL_DOMAIN(`rhel5.com.cn')dnl
（2）使用m4工具将sendmail.mc文件导入sendmail.cf文件
[root@server2 mail]# m4 sendmail.mc >sendmail.cf
（3）配置local-host-names文件
[root@server2 mail]# vi local-host-names
# local-host-names - include all aliases for your machine here.
rhel5.com.cn
mail.rhel5.com.cn
（4）建立用户帐号
[root@server2 mail]# for user in student1 student2;do useradd -g 500 -G student -d /home/$user -s /bin/bash $user;echo redhat|passwd --stdin $user;done;
useradd: user student1 exists
Changing password for user student1.
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
useradd: user student2 exists
Changing password for user student2.
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
[root@server2 mail]# ls /home/
student  student1  student2
群发邮件设置：
编辑/etc/alias文件,aliases文件语法格式：
别名：真实名1，真实名2
student1:       user1,user2
student2:       user3,user4
使用newaliases命令生成aliases.db数据库文件:
[root@server2 mail]# newaliases
/etc/aliases: 78 aliases, longest 11 bytes, 803 bytes total
(5) 配置访问控制的access文件:
[root@server2 mail]# vi access
# Check the /usr/share/doc/sendmail/README.cf file for a description
# of the format of this file. (search for access_db in that file)
# The /usr/share/doc/sendmail/README.cf is part of the sendmail-doc
# package.
#
# by default we allow relaying from localhost...
Connect:localhost.localdomain            RELAY
Connect:localhost                             RELAY
Connect:127.0.0.1                           RELAY
Connect:192.168.1                          RELAY
生成access数据库文件:
[root@server2 mail]# makemap hash access.db <access
(6),配置dovecot:
默认情况下，/etc/dovecot.conf文件是不用修改的就可以使用。
（6）重新启动服务使配置生效
[root@server2 mail]# service saslauthd start
Starting saslauthd: [  OK  ]
[root@server2 mail]# service dovecot start
Starting Dovecot Imap: [  OK  ]
[root@server2 mail]# service sendmail restart
Shutting down sm-client: [  OK  ]
Shutting down sendmail: [  OK  ]
Starting sendmail: [  OK  ]
Starting sm-client: [  OK  ]
检查是否成功启动：
[root@server2 mail]# netstat -nutpl
Active Internet connections (only servers)

防火墙配置：
[root@server2 ~]# iptables -A INPUT -s 192.168.1.0/24 -p tcp -m multiport --dport 25,110,143,993,995 -j ACCEPT
993对应的是imaps,995对应的是pop3s。这个在后面说。
windows上测试：
C:\>telnet mail.rhel5.com.cn 25

全部都测试成功。
(7) 配置基于ssl的sendmail.
首先配置dovecot的ssl加密：
进到/etc/pki/dovecot目录，修改下dovecot-openssl.cnf此文件，我修改后的文件如下：
[root@server2 dovecot]# vi dovecot-openssl.cnf
[ req ]
default_bits = 1024
encrypt_key = yes
distinguished_name = req_dn
x509_extensions = cert_type
prompt = no
[ req_dn ]
# country (2 letter code)
#C=CN
# State or Province Name (full name)
#ST=zhejiang
# Locality Name (eg. city)
#L=Hangzhou
# Organization (eg. company)
#O=xzxj
# Organizational Unit Name (eg. section)
OU=mail.rhel5.com.cn
# Common Name (*.example.com is also possible)
CN=rhel5
[ cert_type ]
nsCertType = server
在执行之前，将/etc/pki/dovecot目录下的所有dovecot.pem文件删除，然后进到/usr/share/doc/dovecot-1.0.7/examples目录里执行mkcert.sh脚本：
[root@server2 examples]# ./mkcert.sh
Generating a 1024 bit RSA private key
..................++++++
....++++++
writing new private key to '/etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem'
-----
subject= /OU=mail.rhel5.com.cn/CN=rhel5/emailAddress=postmaster@mail.rhel5.com.cn
SHA1 Fingerprint=FB:42:D3:3A:D3:97:54:55:CB:4F:25:43:D3:02:AD:B5:D4:32:22:7D
完了后会在/etc/pki/dovecot目录下产生新的dovecot.pem文件。
接着修改/etc/dovecot.conf文件：
[root@server2 ~]# vi /etc/dovecot.conf
找到此行，将前面的注释符去掉：
protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s，接着加入下面内容，设置监听的地址以及端口号：
  protocol imap {
       listen = 192.168.1.12:143
       ssl_listen = 192.168.1.12:993
    }
    protocol pop3 {
       listen = 192.168.1.12:110
       ssl_listen = 192.168.1.12:995
    }
去掉ssl_disable = no前面的注释符，最后修改以下两行：
ssl_cert_file = /etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem
ssl_key_file = /etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem
将前面的注释符去掉，dovecot.pem此文件之先创建过，这里不用修改了。
接着配置sendmail的ssl加密：
[root@server2 certs]# cd /etc/pki/tls/certs
[root@server2 certs]# make sendmail.pem
umask 77 ; \
        PEM1=`/bin/mktemp /tmp/openssl.XXXXXX` ; \
        PEM2=`/bin/mktemp /tmp/openssl.XXXXXX` ; \
        /usr/bin/openssl req -utf8 -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout $PEM1 -nodes -x509 -days 365 -out $PEM2 -set_serial 0 ; \
        cat $PEM1 &gt;  sendmail.pem ; \
        echo ""    &gt;&gt; sendmail.pem ; \
        cat $PEM2 &gt;&gt; sendmail.pem ; \
        rm -f $PEM1 $PEM2
Generating a 1024 bit RSA private key
............................................++++++
....++++++
writing new private key to '/tmp/openssl.Ow4054'

You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated
into your certificate request.
What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN.
There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank
For some fields there will be a default value,
If you enter '.', the field will be left blank.

Common Name (eg, your name or your server's hostname) []:mail.rhel5.com.cn
Email Address []:admin@rhel5.com.cn
[root@server2 certs]# ls
ca-bundle.crt  localhost.crt  make-dummy-cert  Makefile  sendmail.pem
修改/etc/mail/sendmail.mc文件，找到以下四行，将其前面的注释符号去掉：
define(`confCACERT_PATH', `/etc/pki/tls/certs')dnl
define(`confCACERT', `/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt')dnl
define(`confSERVER_CERT', `/etc/pki/tls/certs/sendmail.pem')dnl
define(`confSERVER_KEY', `/etc/pki/tls/certs/sendmail.pem')dnl
接着注释下行：
dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=0.0.0.0, Name=MTA')dnl
去掉下行前面的dnl后为
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtps, Name=TLSMTA, M=s')dnl
[root@server2 mail]# m4 sendmail.mc &gt;sendmail.cf
重启dovecot和sendmail，使配置生效！

防火墙的配置：
基于ssl的sendmail使用的端口是465；
[root@server2 certs]# iptables -A INPUT -s 192.168.1.0/24 -p tcp --dport 465 -j ACCEPT
,到此基于ssl的邮件服务就完毕了。
(8) 测试
使用windows的outlook测试发信和收信。
