Hi Salvatore, OK, here we go, step by step... I assume you're installing system-wide, using sendmail... > Install the files int he /ask/ folder. As you're doing a system-wide installation, I'd recommend you to install ask under /usr/local/ask-x.xx and create a symlink called "ask" pointing to the correct directory. Something like: /usr/local/ask-2.4.1 /usr/local/ask -> /usr/local/ask-2.4.1 This will make it very easy to upgrade ASK in the future. All you have to do is change the symlink to the desired location. > Add lines to the main procmail It's a good idea to have an option for your users, like "Turn ASK on" and "Turn ASK off". The "Turn ASK on" would: - Unpack a "template" .ask directory under the user's home (if it does not yet exist). - Copy a template .askrc file to the user's home directory. Note that your installation program must be smart enough to change the user's email address and name to the correct ones. - Create a .procmailrc file under the user's home dir with: --- cut here --- ## ASK installation :0 fW |/usr/local/ask/ask.py --procmail --loglevel=5 --logfile=/someplace/ask-username.log :0 e /dev/null --- cut here --- - Substitute the "username" above with the real username and "someplace" with a suitable location for the logs where the users can write. - You can generate the "template" .askrc and .ask directories by running asksetup.py for any user. Then, just pack the .ask directory and modify the .askrc file accordingly. Do not forget: The installation file WILL NEED TO MODIFY THIS FILE for each user! You cannot just copy the .askrc file across users. > file Add/edit a .forward for each user This may not be necessary if you're using procmail. > AND OR > Install the gui files on server Add lines to individual procmail > file Don't forget to use Gnu Anubis or some other mail processor to add the mailkey to all outgoing emails! > Above please find a break down of how I understand the intall process to be. > am I correct? You're in the right way. :) > It would be good to have to edit the procmail recipe once for the whole > server. You can always have symlinks (I do not know if procmail groks them). If you offer multiple solutions, you may have different "master" procmailrc files: One for ASK alone, one for ASK + Bogofilter, etc... Depending on the options your users choose, they'll have their ~/.procmailrc files pointing to one of your "masters". Regards, Paga > > Regards, > > Salvatore F.
