- Installation.
- -------------
-
- 1: Copy the Mailserver drawer and it's contents to your hard disk.
-
- 2: Assign Mailserver: to this drawer. Add the assign to s:user-startup.
-
- 3: Add the line
-
- mailserver: "|mailserver:sys/mailserver"
-
- to your mail aliases file. This is usually uulib:aliases, but could
- also be uulib:mail/aliases or uulib:.elm/aliases.
-
- 4: Enter the following command from the shell:
-
- protect mailserver:sys/mailserver +swrd
- protect mailserver:sys/autoencode +swrd
-
- 5: Edit the prefs file, mailserver:sys/prefs, to suit your own needs.
- Files begining with a Subject: line should always have a blank line after
- the Subject: line, as these form the headers of the email files.
-
- You should also go through the other files in the sys directory,
- and edit them for your own needs.
-
- 6: Make sure you have the environment variable 'USERNAME' set correctly.
-
- e.g. Setenv USERNAME dom
-
- Add this command to s:user-startup if needed.
-
- 7: Put any files you want to be accessible to Mailserver in the
- mailserver:public directory. You can add as many subdirectories as
- you like, or edit the prefs file to set the publicdir anywhere you
- like. (CD0:aminet for example.)
-
- 8: Make sure you have RexxMast running (sys:system/rexxmast).
-
-
- 9: Test your setup by by sending mail to
-
- mailserver
-
- with
-
- HELP
- DIR
-
- in the body of the message.
-
- After installation, you may need to edit the mailserver:sys/prefs file
- to make it work with the version of Sendmail that you use. It is currently
- set up to work with the AmiTCP-DIS installation.
