Install Qpopper with the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-standalone && make
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root user:
make install && install -D -m644 GUIDE.pdf /usr/share/doc/qpopper-4.1.0/GUIDE.pdf
--enable-standalone: This option gives
the flexibility to run Qpopper in
standalone mode.
Update the Syslog configuration file and force the syslogd daemon to reread the new file so that Qpopper events are logged:
echo "local0.notice;local0.debug /var/log/POP.log" >> /etc/syslog.conf && killall -HUP syslogd
If you want
Qpopper to start automatically
when the system is booted, install the /etc/rc.d/init.d/qpopper init script included
in the blfs-bootscripts-20130908 package.
make install-qpopper
This startup procedure uses a configuration file. The details of
the configuration file can be found in the documentation file
GUIDE.pdf.
cat > /etc/mail/qpopper.conf << "EOF"
# Qpopper configuration file
set debug = false
set spool-dir = /var/spool/mail/
set temp-dir = /var/spool/mail/
set downcase-user = true
set trim-domain = true
set statistics = true
# End /etc/shells
EOF
If you use inetd,
the following command will add the Qpopper entry to /etc/inetd.conf:
echo "pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/popper popper" >> /etc/inetd.conf && killall inetd || inetd
Issue a killall -HUP
inetd to reread the changed inetd.conf file.
