I am happily running Courier on RHEL4 now although I had it on RHEL3
for a long time. Of course there is no support from RH since it's third
party software but then that doesn't matter to me since I have
educatonal licenses so nothings really supported :-) I'd recommend
using RHEL4 if you're doing a new install as the 2.6 kernel and other
updates offer serious improvements on modern hardware for mail servers
plus you'll be able to go longer without needing to upgrade to a
supported version.
Courier only ships the sourcecode, no binaries but it is ridiculously
easy to custom compile it on your server. As a non-root user:
mkdir $HOME/rpm
mkdir $HOME/rpm/SOURCES
mkdir $HOME/rpm/SPECS
mkdir $HOME/rpm/BUILD
mkdir $HOME/rpm/SRPMS
mkdir $HOME/rpm/RPMS
mkdir $HOME/rpm/RPMS/i386
echo "%_topdir $HOME/rpm" >> $HOME/.rpmmacros
wget \
http://easynews.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/courier/courier-authlib-0.57.tar
.bz2
wget \
http://easynews.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/courier/courier-0.51.0.tar.bz2
rpmbuild -ta courier-authlib-0.57.tar.bz2
then as root:
cd /path/to/home/rpm/RPMS/i386/
rpm -Uvh \
courier-authlib-0.57-1.3AS.i386.rpm \
courier-authlib-devel-0.57-1.3AS.i386.rpm
as well as any others you might need...
back as the non-root user:
rpmbuild -ta courier-0.51.0.tar.bz2
then as root again:
rpm -Uvh courier-0.51..., etc, etc.
Good Luck,
Jay
