Greetings, The QmailToaster VMware Virtual Appliance is now available. Since this is a pretty big release, I have made it available by BitTorrent only. Please seed if you can.
The torrent is available at my usual page: http://www.kabewm.com/pages/projects/qmailtoaster.php RELEASE NOTES BASICS In order to be compliant with the djb license, this ships without the QmailToaster installed. I have included a script that will configure the system for a static IP and download/compile/install QmailToaster. This is a basic CentOS 4.3 x86 install. The installation only has what is required for the QmailToaster distribution. No frills, no X, etc. This system has been preconfigured in just about every respect. The VMware Image is configured without disks or cdroms. In addition it has a virtual hard disk that can grow to 40 gigs. The default setting is 256 mb of ram. SECURITY It is recommended that you do the following, at the very minimum, for security: 1) Change the root password, currently it is set to 'password' 2) In '/etc/ssh/sshd_config' set "PermitRootLogin no" 3) Set a mysql root password, currently there is none. You may also want to change the password to vpopmail database, which uses the default qmailtoaster password of 'SsEeCcRrEeTt'. NETWORKING Have the following information ready upon first boot: Hostname, Domain Name, IP Address, Subnet, Gateway, and DNS Server By default this is set to 'bridged' networking. This means that your VMware Appliance will be on the same network as the machine it is running on. Upon booting you will have to enter the information above through prompts. If you make a mistake use the backspace and/or leave a prompt blank and reboot. This script will not execute once it is run from beginning to end. *NOTE: Because the networking is set to bridged the VMware Appliance will put forth a virtual mac address. This means that if you are testing this as a demo over wireless, you MUST add the virtual mac address to the allowed list. UP AND RUNNING Please refer to the http://www.qmailtoaster.com/info/EZ-QmailToaster-Install.txt starting with section 9 after the system has rebooted with the QmailToaster installed. By default this VMware Appliance will run yum nightly, so it is recommended that you run it as soon as the install is complete. Thanks, Erik A.
