* Howto make a RedHat rpm of ZMailer MTA

  1. Get zmailer-spec.tar.gz from :
     http://www.ctv.es/USERS/xose/linux/zmailer-spec.tar.gz
     This package is a posting to ZMailer mailing list and it's 
     made by Xose Vazquez, xose@ctv.es

  2. Open it 'tar xvfz zmailer-spec.tar.gz'

  3. Copy all the files into /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES directory.

  4. Get zmailer-2.99.xx.tar.gz or the last version from :
     ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/unix/mail/zmailer/src/
     and copy it under /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES as well.
     
     - If you get a new version, you need change the line 3 of 
       the zmailer.spec : from Version: 2.99.52 to Version: X.XX.XX

  5. Create your own rpm packages with commands:

             cd /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
             rpm -ba zmailer.spec

  6. rpm packages will be created under /usr/src/redhat/SRPMS (src) and
     under /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386 (bin + doc)

  7. Install ZMailer rpm packages into the system:

             rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/zmailer-2.99.xx-y.i386.rpm
             rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/zmailer-doc-2.99.xx-y.i386.rpm

  8. Finish ZMailer configuration by editing the following:
        o /etc/mail.conf
        o /etc/zmailer/*
     For first time installations I'd recommend reading
     /usr/doc/zmailer-2.99.xx/INSTALL document.

  9. Note: this zmailer.spec links tcp wrapper code into smtpserver. To
     allow incoming SMTP traffic you must specify allowed ip-addresses or
     domains in /etc/hosts.allow file. To allow the traffic for everybody
     just put there:

             smtp-receiver:  ALL

     To allow incoming SMTP traffic only for *.yourdomain.com hosts use the
     following instead:

             smtp-receiver:  .yourdomain.com

     The later requires properly configured DNS service (reverse ip mapping)
     for yourdomain.com. For more information of tuning tcpd refer 'man
     hosts.allow' and 'man hosts_access'.
