Hi Timo,

TB> Ok, here we go.

TB> I worked this up from my .bash_history, my memory and the INSTALL and
TB> README files found everywhere. I'm not sure that this is the method I
TB> used, since I made many mistakes and had to turn back, and just now my
TB> installation isn't quiet working.
TB> So: If something doesn't work or is stupid, please tell me.

TB> Timo Boettcher

TB> Some small hints about installing horde/imp on Redhat 7.2

TB> Required:
TB> - Some Linux box, preferrably with Redhat 7.2 since this was written with a Redhat 7.2 box as reference
TB> - working make environment
TB> - internet-connection (or at least, the posiibility to obtain the mentioned files)
TB> - wget, ftpget
TB> - perl
TB> - [aspell]
TB> - time, nerves
TB> - a working backup (since I refuse to give any warranty about this, even that this does anything)
TB> - everything I have forgotten


TB> First get and install openssl. You'll need it for various things.
TB>         cd /usr/src
TB>         wget http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-0.9.6c.tar.gz
TB>         tar xvzf openssl-0.9.6c.tar.gz
TB>         cd openssl-0.9.6c
TB>         ./config
TB>         make
TB>         make test
TB>         make install

TB> Let's create some self-signed certificate.
TB>         cd /usr/local/ssl/certs/
TB>         openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -out imapd.pem -keyout imapd.pem -days 365

TB> Get and install libmcrypt.
TB>         cd /usr/src
TB>         ftpget ftp://mcrypt.hellug.gr/pub/mcrypt/libmcrypt/libmcrypt-2.4.22.tar.gz
TB>         tar xvzf libmcrypt-2.4.22.tar.gz
TB>         cd libmcrypt-2.4.22
TB>         ./configure
TB>         make
TB>         make check
TB>         make install

TB> Get and install OpenSSH, since the versions in most distributions are not up-to-date and are said to be insecure.
TB>         cd /usr/src
TB>         ftpget ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/OpenSSH/portable/openssh-3.0.2p1.tar.gz
TB>         tar xvzf openssh-3.0.2p1.tar.gz
TB>         cd openssh-3.0.2p1
TB>         ./configure
TB>         make
TB> Doing "make install" will generate a new host-key
TB>         make install
        
TB> Get and install some smtp-mailserver. Sendmail seems to be quiet bugggy, so I decided in favor of postfix.
TB>         cd /usr/src
TB>         wget http://postfix.portal-to-web.de/dist/official/postfix-20010228-pl08.tar.gz
TB>         tar xvzf postfix-20010228-pl08.tar.gz
TB>         cd postfix-20010228-pl08
TB> "make" will ask you some questions. The defaults were OK for me.
TB>         make

Configure it in /etc/postfix/main.cf
          mydomain = myserver.net

          myorigin = $mydomain

          mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain $mydomain

This is for pop-before-smtp, which will be installed just after that
          smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks,reject_non_fqdn_recipient,
                check_client_access hash:/etc/postfix/pop-before-smtp, check_relay_domain
Here is still some work to be done...

        
TB> to start postfix, upon each reboot, let some script call
TB>         /usr/sbin/postfix start


TB> If you want to use your mailserver with clients except horde/imp from anywhere out of the internet, you should put up some protective measures against being an "open-relay".
TB>         cd /usr/src
TB>         wget http://people.oven.com/bet/pop-before-smtp/pop-before-smtp-1.28.tar.gz
TB>         tar xvzf pop-before-smtp-1.28.tar.gz
TB>         cd pop-before-smtp-1.28
TB> Install the script
TB>         cp pop-before-smtp /usr/sbin/
TB> Install the init-script 
TB>         cp init-redhat-alex /etc/init.d/pop-before-smtp
TB>         cd contrib
TB> Get the necessary perl-modules
TB>         ./getfromcpan
TB> or
TB>         perl -MCPAN -e 'install Time::HiRes'
TB>         perl -MCPAN -e 'install File::Tail'
TB>         perl -MCPAN -e 'install Date::Parse'
TB>         perl -MCPAN -e 'install Net::Netmask'

TB> Get an Imap-server (UW-Imapd includes the also-needed client-library)
TB>         cd /usr/src
TB>         ftpget ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/imap/imap-2001a.tar.Z
TB>         tar xvzf imap-2001a.tar.Z
TB>         cd imap-2001a/
TB>         make slx PASSWDTYPE=pam SSLTYPE=unix
TB>         touch /etc/cram-md5
TB>         chmod 0600 /etc/cram-md5
Copy the compiled programs to /usr/sbin
         cp scr/imapd/imapd /usr/sbin
         cp src/ipopd/imapd /usr/sbin

Set your [x]inetd to launch these on incoming connections
/etc/xinetd/imap
         service imap
         {
                 disable = no
                 socket_type             = stream
                 wait                    = no
                 user                    = root
                 server                  = /usr/sbin/imapd
                 log_on_success          += DURATION USERID
                 log_on_failure          += USERID
         }
/etc/xinetd/ipop3
         service pop3
         {
                 disable = no
                 socket_type             = stream
                 wait                    = no
                 user                    = root
                 server                  = /usr/sbin/ipop3d
                 log_on_success          += USERID
                 log_on_failure          += USERID
         }
