2. Component installation

2.1 Preparations

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.
I recommend using Bruce Guenter's rpm releases, since they are well patched, and its what I used for building my systems.

Get source rpms

You will need:

For Courier-imap you must build the source rpm from the tar file (instructions will follow).

Get binary rpms

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.

For Courier-imap you must build the binary rpm from the tar file (instructions will follow) or email me for my binary rpm.

Get tarred sources (for non-RPM users)

If your system does not have, or you do not use RPMS, you can install from source.

(*) 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.

2.2 Install support packages

Install with RPMS

Compiling SRC.RPM's

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 daemontools-0.70-1.src.rpm
  rpm --rebuild supervise-scripts-2.4-1.src.rpm

Installing RPM's

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/daemontools-0.70-1.i386.rpm
  rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/supervise-scripts-2.4-1.i386.rpm

Install with source

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 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

2.3 Install Qmail

Install with RPMS

Compiling SRC.RPM's

After installing the support packages,
Simply run the following command: 

rpm --rebuild <package.src.rpm>

-Example- 

  rpm --rebuild qmail-1.03+patches-12.src.rpm

Installing RPM's

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 each package 

rpm -ivh <location>/<package.i386.rpm>

-Example- 

  rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/qmail-1.03+patches-12.i386.rpm
  rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/qmail-pop3d-1.03+patches-12.i386.rpm
  rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/qmail-qmqpd-1.03+patches-12.i386.rpm
  rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/qmail-qmtpd-1.03+patches-12.i386.rpm
  rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/qmail-smtpd-1.03+patches-12.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 *

Install with source

As of this writing Bruce Guenter has not released a tar.gz package of his patched qmail. So until Bruce does this, I am having you download the standard Qmail package, and forcing you to read the included INSTALL file.

Installing the standard build may cause minor differnces in the config, one example that comes to mind is that the init scripts are named differently. This should not cause too much confusion, I just want you to be aware.

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 qmail-1.03.tar.gz
  cd qmail-1.03
  vi INSTALL (Read and follow steps)

2.4 Install Courier-imap

Install with RPMS

Compiling SRC.RPM's

Build the courier-imap rpms from the tar file rpm -ta courier-imap-0.31.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/. *

Installing RPM's

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-0.31-1.i386.rpm

Install with source

Run the following command 

  (As non-root user)
  tar zxf <package.tar.gz>
  cd <newly created dir>
  ./configure
  make
  (As root)
  make install

-Example- 

  (As non-root user)
  tar zxf courier-imap-0.31.tar.gz
  cd courier-imap-0.31
  ./configure
  make
  (As root)
  make install

2.5 Install VMailMgr

Install with RPMS

Compiling SRC.RPM's

Simply run the following command 

rpm --rebuild <package.src.rpm>
-Example- 
  rpm --rebuild vmailmgr-0.96.6-1.src.rpm

Installing RPM's

If you compiled the source rpm, 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/vmailmgr-0.96.6-1.i386.rpm
  rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/VMailMgr-daemon-0.96.6-1.i386.rpm

Install with source

Run the following commands 

  (As non-root user)
  tar zxf <package.tar.gz>
  cd <newly created dir>
  ./configure
  make
  (As root)
  make install
-Example- 
  (As non-root user)
  tar zxf vmailmgr-0.96.6.tar.gz
  cd vmailmgr-0.96.6
  ./configure
  make
  (As root)
  make setup check or  make install
That should do it.
