Well, you are a linux administrator for 5 years and you dont know how to setup an apache httpd server with cgi enabled?
Why the hell you want forward 25 to port 24?! dbmail requires a fullfeatured mta like sendmail, postfix or exim. then it will forward the local parts via pipe or lmtp. everything you need for DBMA is written in the distributionfile of DBMA. just follow those instructions they give you and you are fine. i cannot believe that you have tried it for 7 weeks now. so my advice is still: read the f***in manuals. learn how to setup apache or whatever http-server you may use (lighttpd is pretty nice too). learn how to setup a mta (sendmail, postfix, exim, whatever). all these mta are pretty good documentated and you can google a lot including adding antispam features etc etc. Also there are many wiki pages (dbmail has one, exim has one, i guess postfix and sendmail may have one too). even dbma has one. so what the hell is ur problem reading them? you asked if mysql is neccessary for dbma, although its written in dbma's documentation. since your mails are in english i guess you can read english. so the language of the documentation isnt a problem too. so be more acurate what your REAL problem ist. how far is your installation? does the mta and dbmail work so far?! tested? do you have a DBMA problem only? why is your exactly dbma problem? setup of dbma is quite simple, so i cannot imagine that this is your problem. you have some symptoms or error-messages? if so, which one? gosh, 7weeks and 5 years as linux administrator?! what have you done in these 5 years?! ;) SCNR Simon Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag von David B. Gesendet: Sonntag, 27. Juli 2008 01:50 An: DBMail mailinglist Betreff: RE: [Dbmail] need a link I've already done that, the docs don't say anything about the questions I've asked. There is nothing that says I should or should not forward port 25 to port 24, or just forward it to 25. there is also nothing on the entire internet about how to serve html in a cgi-bin. Dbmailadministrator puts all of their html files in the cgi-bin, but it's designed for bsd, so maybe there is a way to do it there, but I've found no one, nor any doc anywhere that explains how to do it. I have found plenty of people that say it's not possible, but why would they put the html files in the cgi-bin if it were not? there are also no docs as to whether or not I have to use mysql to get the DBMA_MTA working, but since this isn't really a dbmailadministrator server, I just thought I would throw that out there. Also, I don't see anywhere where I can get to any archives so I can research what has already been answered. There aren't any docs on that either. I've spent 7 weeks working on this before I decided to post in the dbmail.org server. If you have answers, great, or even links to answers, but suggesting I read the docs is rather unhelpful as I've already done that, and I've been a linux administrator for 5 years, so I have a pretty good idea of what I'm doing, so, if I'm in here asking for info, it's because it's not documented. _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Dbmail] need a link Date: Sat, 26 Jul 2008 16:19:46 +0200 CC: [email protected] You may want to read the f... manual. :) or better if you need fast results, you better contract an specialist. Read apache httpd manual Take an course about Linux administration Read carefully the documentation of dbmail and dbma package.

One other thing since I'm here, I'm using Ubuntu 7.04, my version of dbmail administrator has html files included in the cgi-bin subdirectory, has anyone any idea of how to get apache to serve them up? How do I test dbmail to see if it's working? I know the processes are running, but I don't know if I should port forward 25 to 24, or just leave 25 open and the lmtp server grabs the mail and puts it into the tables. what daemons should I be running? I'm using lmtp, but should I also be running the imap or pop3 daemons? thanks _____ Time for vacation? WIN what you need.
