This directory contains the source files for mail.local.
|
|
|
|
This is not intended to be used on *stock* System V derived systems such as
|
|
Solaris or HP-UX, since they use a totally different approach to mailboxes
|
|
(essentially, they have a set-group-ID program rather than set-user-ID, and
|
|
they rely on the ability to "give away" files to do their work).
|
|
|
|
If you choose to run *this* mail.local on these systems then you may also
|
|
need to replace the existing MUAs, as well as IMAP and POP servers, with
|
|
ones that are compatible with the BSD interface. You have been warned!
|
|
|
|
For systems with maillock() support, compile with -DMAILLOCK and link with
|
|
-lmail to use the maillock() routines. This can be accomplished in your
|
|
site.config.m4 file with:
|
|
|
|
APPENDDEF(`conf_mail_local_ENVDEF', `-DMAILLOCK')
|
|
APPENDDEF(`conf_mail_local_LIBS', `-lmail')
|
|
|
|
Defining CONTENTLENGTH (-DCONTENTLENGTH) will build a mail.local which
|
|
outputs a Content-Length: header. Solaris 2.3 and later will automatically
|
|
include Content-Length: support. This can be accomplished in your
|
|
site.config.m4 file with:
|
|
|
|
APPENDDEF(`conf_mail_local_ENVDEF', `-DCONTENTLENGTH')
|
|
|
|
Defining MAILGID to a 'gid' (-DMAILGID=6) will cause mailboxes to be
|
|
written group writable and with group 'gid'. This can be accomplished in
|
|
your site.config.m4 file with:
|
|
|
|
APPENDDEF(`conf_mail_local_ENVDEF', `-DMAILGID=6')
|
|
|
|
mail.local will not be installed set-user-ID root. To use it as local
|
|
delivery agent without LMTP mode, use:
|
|
|
|
MODIFY_MAILER_FLAGS(`LOCAL', `+S')
|
|
|
|
in the .mc file.
|
|
|
|
Defining HASHSPOOL (-DHASHSPOOL) will build a mail.local which supports
|
|
delivering to subdirectories of the mail spool, based on a hash of the
|
|
username (i.e., a hash depth of 2 and a username of "user" will result in
|
|
/var/spool/mail/u/s/user). If the hash depth is greater than the length
|
|
of the username, "_" will be used. The necessary subdirectories must
|
|
exist; mail.local will not create them. Use the "-H" option to set the
|
|
hash type and depth (like "-H u2" for a username hash two levels deep).
|
|
|
|
The HASHSPOOL option also adds two other options: "-p path" to specify
|
|
an alternate mail spool path (i.e., "-p /local/mail") and "-n" to specify
|
|
that mail.local should not strip the @domain part of recipient addresses
|
|
in LMTP mode.
|
|
|
|
In addition to HASHSPOOL, defining HASHSPOOLMD5 and linking against
|
|
libcrypto from OpenSSL like:
|
|
|
|
APPENDDEF(`conf_mail_local_ENVDEF', `-DHASHSPOOL -DHASHSPOOLMD5')
|
|
APPENDDEF(`conf_mail_local_LIBS', `-lcrypto')
|
|
|
|
will offer an alternate hash, using a base64 encoding (changing / to _)
|
|
of an MD5 hash of the username. This results in a more balanced
|
|
subdirectory tree. The subdirectories will be named with A-Z, a-z, 0-9,
|
|
+, and _. The hash type is "m", so use "-H m3" to get a three level MD5
|
|
based hash.
