BrettLee.com - EZQmail @SourceForge.net @etPenguin.com @Subversion-ViewVC @Subversion Release Notes Return ( Software ) The purpose of this software package is to deliver a simple way to install the qmail SMTP server. Installing a complete qmail system for the first time could be a real chore. Because copyright limits redistribution to source tarballs or a inflexible and possibly antiquated binary (var-qmail), one is typically forced to download several sources, apply patches, then build and install the software. Finally, you then get to integrate all the pieces and find those lesser documented topics that you weren't aware of because you're not yet familiar with qmail. That's where EZQmail (ezq) comes in. The ezq distribution is meant to be a EZ method for small businesses, hobbyists, or others wishing to try the qmail system for mail delivery. Because of its charter, ezq does not provide all the functionality that a Yahoo or Google would require, but instead provides an EZ to install, modern (patched) and functional (integrated) qmail system onto which additional functionalities can be added (examples include anti-Virus or anti-SPAM engines, LDAP or SQL for access and authentication, or SMTP AUTH and TLS for encrypted mail delivery). The ezq software is distributed as a source tarball that contains a couple shell scripts, some patches, some files to assist in integration, and also some spec files for packaging. It is a rather complex process, so an overview is provided in the Release Notes for clarity.
