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
Refer to the configure help (
./configure
make clean all
su -c
'make install'./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
