the server</a> which receives your incoming mail, not on your desktop workstation. Thus, you must be able to install software on your mail server in order to use TMDA. If you aren't able to do this, you might ask your ISP to do so on your behalf, or sign up with one of the <a href="http://wiki.tmda.net/index.cgi/TmdaProviders" TARGET="Resource Window">providers</a> that offers TMDA as a service to its customers. <br><br> <li>TMDA currently runs only on UNIX-based systems, such as GNU/Linux, Solaris, *BSD, etc. It also works on Mac OS X, but not earlier versions of Mac OS. TMDA does not currently run on <a href="http://tmda.net/faq.cgi?req=all#1.3" TARGET="Resource Window">Microsoft Windows</a>. <br><br> <li>If TMDA will not work in your environment, we maintain a list of <a href="http://tmda.net/faq.cgi?req=all#1.9" TARGET="Resource Window">TMDA-like systems</a>. <br><br> <li>If you decide to give TMDA a whirl, make sure you have the necessary prerequisite software installed first.<br> <ol> <li>The <a href="http://www.python.org/download/" TARGET="Resource Window">Python</a> programming language. Versions 2.1 and higher are supported, but the latest 2.3.x point release is recommended. Many UNIX/Linux distributions now come with Python pre-installed. To check whether it is and what version you have installed, try typing <strong>python</strong> and/or <strong>python2</strong> at your shell's command line: <blockquote><pre> % python Python 2.3.3 (#2, Dec 19 2003, 11:28:07) [GCC 3.3.3 20031203 (prerelease) (Debian)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> ^D </pre></blockquote> <li>An SMTP server (a.k.a. mail transport agent or MTA) for mail reception. Currently supported MTAs include <a href="http://www.qmail.org/" TARGET="Resource Window">qmail</a>, <a href="http://www.postfix.org/" TARGET="Resource Window">Postfix</a>, <a href="http://www.exim.org/" TARGET="Resource Window">Exim</a>, <a href="http://www.courier-mta.org/" TARGET="Resource Window">Courier</a>, and <a href="http://www.sendmail.org/" TARGET="Resource Window">Sendmail</a>. <br><br> <li>The <a href="http://www.procmail.org/" TARGET="Resource Window">procmail</a> or <a href="http://www.flounder.net/~mrsam/maildrop/" TARGET="Resource Window">maildrop</a> local delivery agent, <strong>if and only if</strong> you are running Sendmail as your MTA. </ol> </td><!-- end of body cell --> </tr><!-- end of sidebar/body row --> </table><!-- end of page table --> </body></html>
