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!
