Ezmlm-idx is a mailing list addon. It is the best (In my opinion) mailing list option out there. It works quite well with qmailadmin, which we will install later in the guide, and works seamlessly with qmail. For more information, Please see http://www.ezmlm.org

NOTE: If you need mailing list support you will need to install ezmlm-idx and enable mysql for it. Click here for the ezmlm sql page

Lets install ezmlm:


# cd /usr/ports/mail/ezmlm-idx
# make install clean

If this runs without errors, We will proceed to the next step.

Before you can use the programs, you should copy the "ezmlmglrc.sample", "ezmlmrc.sample" and "ezmlmsubrc.sample" files in /usr/local/etc/ezmlm to "ezmlmglrc", "ezmlmrc" and "ezmlmsubrc" respectively.


# cp /usr/local/etc/ezmlm/ezmlmglrc.sample /usr/local/etc/ezmlm/ezmlmglrc
# cp /usr/local/etc/ezmlm/ezmlmrc.sample /usr/local/etc/ezmlm/ezmlmrc
# cp /usr/local/etc/ezmlm/ezmlmsubrc.sample /usr/local/etc/ezmlm/ezmlmsubrc

Installing autorespond from ports just can't get any easier than this:


# cd /usr/ports/mail/autorespond
# make install clean

Autorespond is installed!
