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.
