~/.tmda is a directory, /etc/tmdarc is a file. /etc/tmdarc can be used for any settings that apply to all users on your system. ~/.tmda/config can be used for any settings that are different for each user. You can put any of TMDA's configuration settings in either file. The list of all configuration variables can be found at http://tmda.net/config-vars.html For a normal Unix setup, where each user logs in to the system and has his or her own home directory, the default settings will usually work. Depending on which MTA (mail server software) you are using, you may need to set the MAIL_TRANSFER_AGENT, RECIPIENT_DELIMITER and DELIVERY variables. > i want to use tmda as a system-wide so i still need to have ~/.tmda > and /etc/tmdarc ? You don't need either of them, if the default settings work for you. If you are running a mail server other than qmail you will need to set at least the three variables I mentioned above. You will probably want to have a ~/.tmda/config for each user. > what should be the contents of /etc/tmdarc ? MAIL_TRANSFER_AGENT and RECIPIENT_DELIMITER are good things to put in the system-wide /etc/tmdarc, since they will be the same for every user on your system. > and i'm also confuse between ~/.procmailrc and ~/.procmailrc-tmda > . what is the differnce between ~/.procmailrc and ~/.procmailrc-tmda > ? Do you even need to use procmail? What MTA are you running? If you are running Sendmail, then you need to run tmda-filter from procmail. You would use the ~/.procmailrc file to do that, since ~/.procmailrc is what procmail looks for when it delivers mail. Once TMDA has approved the mail, it needs to deliver it. You can use TMDA itself to deliver the mail (set DELIVERY to point to an mbox or a maildir, for example) or you can give the message to procmail again if you want to use procmail to sort your mail and deliver it to different mailboxes. If you choose to use procmail *after* TMDA, you need to use a different dot-procmailrc file; if you use ~/.procmailrc it will just call TMDA again and again and again. You can name the second dot-procmailrc file anything you want; the documentation suggests ~/.procmailrc-tmda. Unless you have a very good reason to do final mail delivery using procmail, you might want to avoid it and just use TMDA for that. If you're running any MTA other than Sendmail, you don't need procmail at all. > do the contents of ~/.tmda/config is the same also in > the /etc/tmdarc/config ? /etc/tmdarc is a file, not a directory and you can put the same settings in either, but remember that /etc/tmdarc gets used for every user on the system; ~/.tmda/config is for each user.
