Step 1: Make Perl happy.

You need Perl's CPAN working for installing perl modules so make sure it's configured. If the following command doesn't give you a prompt, then you'll be prompted to configure.

sudo perl -MCPAN -e shell
exit

Step 2: Install Darwin Ports

Follow the directions at this URL: http://darwinports.opendarwin.org/getdp/

Step 3: Install Mail::Toaster

http://www.tnpi.biz/internet/mail/toaster/Mail-Toaster.tar.gz

perl Makefile.PL
make install
make newconf (overwrites installed .conf files)
make cgi

Documentation for the modules being called by toaster_setup.pl, toaster_watcher.pl, maillogs, and index.cgi are all installed in Perl's pod format (perldoc Mail::Toaster) as well as being available online at http://www.tnpi.biz/internet/mail/toaster/docs/.

You will likely get prompted to install a few missing perl modules such as DBI and DBD::mysql. When prompted, choose no. The modules will get installed later.

Step 4: Edit config files

vi /usr/local/etc/toaster.conf
vi /usr/local/etc/toaster-watcher.conf

Edit to suit your preferences. Use 'perldoc toaster.conf' or 'perldoc toaster-watcher.conf' to read the man pages describing what all them settings are for.

Step 4: Start building the toaster!

rehash
toaster_setup.pl -s pre
toaster_setup.pl -s ports
toaster_setup.pl -s mattbundle
toaster_setup.pl -s mysql
toaster_setup.pl -s phpmyadmin (not complete)
toaster_setup.pl -s ucspi      (not complete)
toaster_setup.pl -s ezmlm      (not complete)
toaster_setup.pl -s vpopmail
toaster_setup.pl -s qmailadmin (not complete)

If toaster_setup.pl has any problems running, fix what it complains about and then run it again with the same parameter. It will resume and finish that section.

If you want something installed "your" way, install it first. Toaster_setup.pl will detect it (assuming it's registered in the package database) and skip that portion of the install.

You'll need to enable mod_php in /etc/httpd/httpd.conf as it's required by squirrelmail and QSS.

Step 5: Install Qmail

toaster_setup.pl -s qmail

Step 6: Install Web/POP3/IMAP servers

toaster_setup.pl -s courier    (not completed)
toaster_setup.pl -s sqwebmail  (not completed)
toaster_setup.pl -s squirrelmail (not completed)

Step 7: Configure Courier-IMAP

cd /usr/local/etc/courier-imap
vi pop3d.cnf imapd.cnf quotawarnmsg

cd /usr/local/share/courier-imap
./mkimapdcert; ./mkpop3dcert

Step 8: Set up mail filtering and logging

toaster_setup.pl -s filter  (not completed)

You can safely skip this step. However, all the spiffy anti-virus and spam detection software will not work. If this is your first mail toaster, you may even want to skip this step, get everything working to your satisfaction and then add in the mail filtering. It can be daunting for the faint of heart.

toaster_setup.pl -s maillogs
toaster_setup.pl -s supervise
toaster_setup.pl -s rrdutil (optional)

Step 9: Add cron entries

Run all these commands from the command line and verify their proper functionality (no complaints or errors) BEFORE adding to cron.

crontab -u root -e 
9-59/10 * * * * /usr/local/vpopmail/bin/clearopensmtp
40  * * * *  /usr/local/share/sqwebmail/cleancache.pl
*/5 * * * * /usr/local/sbin/toaster-watcher.pl
*/5 * * * * /usr/local/www/cgi-bin/rrdutil.cgi -a update

Step 10: Continue with Configuration.
