TMDA Requirements

If you decide to give TMDA a whirl, make sure you have the necessary prerequisite software installed first.

  • The Python programming language. Versions 1.5.2 and higher are supported, but 2.2 or higher is highly recommended. Many UNIX/Linux distributions now come with Python pre-installed. To check whether it is and what version you have installed, try typing python and/or python2 at your shell's command line:
    
    % python
    Python 2.2 (#1, Dec 22 2001, 04:19:53) [C] on irix646
    Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

  • An SMTP server (a.k.a. mail transport agent or MTA) for mail reception. Currently supported MTAs include qmail, Postfix, Exim, and Sendmail.

  • If you are using an MTA other than qmail, a local delivery agent such as procmail or maildrop. On non-qmail systems, TMDA uses the LDA to perform final mail delivery, and in the case of Sendmail, to invoke TMDA and do final delivery. Thus, a .procmailrc is only required if you are running Sendmail.
