Installing the MaildropHost Product ----------------------------------- You will need Zope version 2.8.0 or higher! The maildrop daemon is not supported under Windows. First, you will need to unzip and untar the compressed surce file into a place where Zope can find it, namely the "Products" directory:: $ cp MaildropHost-xyz.tgz /lib/python/Products $ cd /lib/python/Products $ tar zxvf MaildropHost-xyz.tgz Do not forget to restart Zope afterwards. You will find a file named "config.py" in the toplevel MaildropHost folder. This file contains all site-specific settings and you must edit it to suit your needs. IMPORTANT: Since this file is also sourced by a few shell scripts you must not put any whitespace around equal (=) signs! Startup scripts for the standalone maildrop daemon, which processes mail items generated by the MaildropHost Zope product, can be found inside the /maildrop/bin-folder. What these scripts do and how to use them is described in a separate README inside that folder. See README.txt for any other dependencies and requirements. Upgrade notes ------------- - 1.21 to 1.22: The configuration file parsing mechanism changed, it's no longer a Python module. The code will now look for a file named `config` instead of `config.py`, the file contents have not changed, though.
