Title: mod_smtpd - Modular SMTP Server for Apache 2.2 Installation license: https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0
mod_smtpd
is very easy to install and setup. First, we need to build the module and make the Apache HTTPd webserver load it. Then, we‘ll setup our archives repository and complete Apache’s configuration.
mod_smtpd
has, of course, some requirements :
Apache HTTPd >= 2.2 ( mod_smtpd
has been tested succesfully with Apache 2.2.0 and 2.3.0-dev)
APR and APR-Util >= 0.9
libapreq2
Checkout sources via Subversion : svn checkout https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/mod_smtpd/trunk mod_smtpd
Then, build mod_smtpd
: ./autogen.sh
./configure
make clean all
su -c ‘make install’ Refer to the configure help ( ./configure --help
) if you need a to specify an installation prefix ( --prefix=...
) or any other specific setup.
The next step is to make Apache HTTPd load the mod_smtpd
module at runtime. Edit your Apache configuration file, and add the following to the rest of the LoadModule
lines : LoadModule smtpd_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_smtpd.so
Or replace that directory with your default Apache 2.2 install directory.
You now need to configure Apache to run mod_smtpd whenever a network connection comes in. We recommend this virtual host setup: NameVirtualHost *:80
NameVirtualHost *:25
<VirtualHost *:80>
# your webserver configuration here
</VirtualHost >
<VirtualHost *:25>
ServerName localhost
or associated plugin configuration here
</VirtualHost >
