Please read the INSTALL file in /usr/share/doc/${PF}/

for remaining instructions on setting up dbmail users and 

for finishing configuration to connect to your MTA and 

to connect to your db.



DBMail requires either SQLite, PostgreSQL or MySQL.

Database schemes can be found in /usr/share/doc/${PF}/

You will also want to follow the installation instructions

on setting up the maintenance program to delete old messages.

Don't forget to edit /etc/dbmail/dbmail.conf as well.



For regular maintenance, add this to crontab:

0 3 * * * /usr/bin/dbmail-util -cpdy >/dev/null 2>&1



Please make sure to run etc-update.

If you get an error message about plugins not found

please add the library_directory configuration switch to

dbmail.conf and set it to the correct path

(usually /usr/lib/dbmail or /usr/lib64/dbmail on amd64)

A sample can be found in dbmail.conf.dist after etc-update.



We are now using the init script from upstream.

Please edit /etc/conf.d/dbmail to set which services to start

and delete /etc/init.d/dbmail-* when you are done. (don't

forget to rc-update del dbmail-* first)



Changed pid directory to /run/dbmail (see

http://www.dbmail.org/mantis/view.php?id=949 for details)



The database config has changed to support libzdb db URI

Please check the documentation (or Bug #479664)



The database schema has changed since 3.0.x make sure

to run the migration script



Please be aware, that the single init-script for all services

has been replaced with seperate init scripts for the individual services.

Make sure to add dbmail-(imapd|lmtpd|pop3d|timsieved) using rc-update

and remove dbmail if you want to take advantage of this change.
