Thanks Tim. I'm relieved that I don't need root permissions (so there's a chance I can use TMDA).
Now I'll ask my provider for the MTA they're using and will get back to you. I'll also RTFM!!! :-) Thanks again, Pablo -----Mensaje original----- De: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] En nombre de Tim Legant Enviado el: mi�rcoles, 30 de julio de 2003 23:09 Para: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Asunto: Re: Absolute beginner question "Pablo Vieira" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > I'm a total newbie and would like to know how to set up TMDA on a virtual > server I'm not running directly (i.e. it resides in a hosting provider). > > Do I need root permissions?

However, depending on what mail server (MTA) the provider uses and how it is configured, it may or may not be possible to run TMDA successfully. You would need to find out some details of the MTA configuration before we could answer this question. The first question is which MTA they run. After you know that, we can ask other questions relevant to that particular MTA's configuration. > Are there any guides available for "dummies" (I know how to deal with > command lines and I've worked with UNIX-like systems in the past, but I'm > not an expert whatsoever). Not that I know of, although people have written some HOWTOs for certain types of configurations. The best thing to do is to read the configuration sections of the http://tmda.net/ website and ask specific questions here.
