I figure it must have been the order I was installing things. I have
read over the page at http://maxo.captainnet.net/ecm2/ a dozen times
and it does not give you the order to install the packages in. In one
place it says to "Download and install packages listed on the
sidebar:" Then is also has build instructions and it also has a list
in the middle of the page with 3 steps "1. Installing SpamAssassin 2.
ECM2Admin 3. Configuration files". So what is the correct order to
get it all installed and configured correctly so that it all works?
Also will it be okay to use MAMP for the Apache/PHP/MySQL install?
I don't see why not. I don't think ECM cares where they come
from, just that they're there. But since Apache and PHP are
included with the OS, why install separate versions of them? And
the MySQL Community installer for OS X from mysql.com works just
fine with minimal set-up.
I have reinstalled Tiger and have run all updates and I am ready
to go again with all the installs but would like to know the order
to do them in.
I've had the original ECM package running with no problems on a
Panther client system for some years now. Yes, ECM and ECM2 are
intended to be installed on OS X Server, but I found that all
that was need to get it running on client was to just make sure
that needed supporting software packages that are included with
Server but not client (MySQL, SpamAssassin, etc.) are installed
before trying to install the ECM packages. IIRC, I also made
sure that expected system users were added (in my case via
NetInfo) before the ECM packages needed them. It took some
thought and preparation before beginning to install things but,
for me at least, it went fairly smoothly. I have not installed
ECM2 on a Tiger system, but I imagine it would be similar to ECM
on Panther. I did e-mail George at captainnet.net for advice
before I installed. He was willing to give encouragement and
gave some general pointers but, since I was not installing on
the supported platform (OS X Server), he was understandably
hesitant to give specific advice.
My main reasons for using ECM were (1) it uses Exim for the MTA,
and (2) it's set up to support mail users stored in a MySQL
database so you don't have to give mail-only users full system accounts.
Another alternative for you might be to use the Postfix included
with OS X. On a Tiger client system, this would mean that you'd
have to, at minimum, install a delivery agent (Courier IMAP,
Cyrus, Dovecot, etc.). You'd probably also want to install
something like SpamAssassin and/or Clam for spam/virus
filtering. I would not expect building and installing component
packages individually to be any easier than installing pre-built
packages from something like ECM, though.
