Recipe to install and setup maildrophost server
Project description
infrae.maildrophost is used to configure a maildrophost server and MaildropHost product using the same configuration, and create a management script for the maildrophost server.
In addition to those tasks, it used to download and install MaildropHost when it was not distributed as an egg. If you are looking for those features, please have a look at the version 1.x of this recipe.
Example in buildout:
[buildout]
parts =
maildrophost
instance
[maildrophost]
recipe = infrae.maildrophost
smtp_host = localhost
smtp_port = 25
[instance]
...
eggs +=
Products.MaildropHost
zope-conf-additional +=
<product-config maildrophost>
config-path-application ${maildrophost:configuration}
</product-config>
This will create the configuration file maildrophost.cfg for the daemon, and put a start/stop script in the bin directory of the buildout tree.
Spool and PID files are put by default in the var/maildrop directory, so data is preserved when update (if there is any data).

- mail_dir
