postfix - cyrus-sasl - cyrus-imapd on RedHat

[Andrew Koros]

Hello Gerry,

My howto explains the basics of getting a system working. It is
impossible to describe all possible configurations that people might
want to have. That would require a book. It is supposed to be a guide to
give you the basic idea. Once you can get a basic system running then
you can tweak it further. 
 
If you are using the srpm for postfix from Simon Mudd
(http://postfix.wl0.org/ftp/SRPMS/) and you were following my howto 
(an update is @ http://home.teleport.ch/simix/RPMS/Cyrus-imapd/contrib/)
then look at the $HOME/rpm/SOURCES/make-postfix.spec. There are so many
options fo compiling postfix.

For example supposed you have prepared your home directory for building
rpms as I decribe in my howto and you are using postfix-2.0.8 srpm then
to include TLS and mysql and sasl2 support do the following as a
non-root user:

rpm -ivh postfix-2.0.8-1.src.rpm
cd $HOME/rpm/SOURCES
export POSTFIX_REDHAT_MYSQL=1
export POSTFIX_SASL=2
export POSTFIX_TLS=1
sh make-postfix.spec

rpmbuild -ba $HOME/rpm/SPECS/postfix.spec

If RedHAt's mysql-devel, cyrus-sasl-devel-2.1.x and openssl-devel rpms
are installed then the postfix rpm should build with all these options
resulting in the following rpm:

$HOME/rpm/RPMS/i386/postfix-2.0.8-1.mysql.sasl2.tls.rh9.i386.rpm
 Which you can then install.

If you are going to use Luc's web-cyradm then even cyrus-imapd-2.1.12 or
newer will achieve "virtual" domains.

To the best of my knowledge Simon's cyrus rpm s will support imaps.
