3. Installation

You have 2 different ways of installing courier-auth-postfix. The first one should work on any system or any distribution, and involves getting the source from www.postfix.org and compiling it. The second one consists in installing the .deb packages on any debian distribution. You should find at least one method that suits your needs. The debian packages used to be available on my own site, but they are now available upon request. If you need them, just mail me... I'll send you either precompiled binaries or a patch to build the debian packages.

Note, however, that since courier-auth-postfix is linked against some libraries provided with postfix, you must have installed the same version of postfix you used to compile courier-authpostfix with.

3.1 From scratch

3.2 With the Debian packages

3.3 Building new Debian packages

In order to do this, just download the latest postfix sources from www.debian.org and patch them with the diff provided on the same site.

Apply the patch on my site only at last, before compiling everything.

Follow the standard procedure to rebuild debian packages.
