TMDA Requirements

If you decide to give TMDA a whirl, make sure you have the necessary prerequisite software installed first.

  • The Python programming language version 1.5.2 or higher. Many UNIX/Linux distributions now come with Python pre-installed. To check whether it is and what version you have installed, try typing python at your shell's command line:
    
    % python
    Python 2.1.1 (#1, Aug 30 2001, 03:48:58) [C] on osf1V5
    Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
    >>> ^D
    
    
  • An SMTP server (a.k.a. mail transport agent or MTA) for mail reception. Currently supported MTAs include qmail, Postfix, and Exim. Support for Sendmail is in process.

  • If you are using an MTA other than qmail, a local delivery agent such as procmail or maildrop. This doesn't mean you need to maintain a .procmailrc or .mailfilter file; TMDA just uses the executable to perform final mail delivery. Any program capable of accepting a message on stdin and writing it to mailbox will suffice. But again, this is only required if you are NOT running qmail!
