In recent years, there have been a newly launched Web mail product (such as IMP) in Linux, making Web designers to make web-based mail systems. However, as a Web mail system solution using these products is increasingly popular. Now we are very easy to implement a complete, secure and reliable electronic post office on a computer with a normal Linux operating system.
Use Linux itself from Sendmail and POP3, IAMP can of course construct a very stable electronic post office system. However, for most small networks and intranet, it is better to use the Linux server to provide a Web E-mail and POP3 combined email service system.
] You can read HTML messages, clips attachments, pictures, etc., you can also allow users to import Outlook's CSV format communication file. NEOMAIL's user interface is simple and friendly, easy to install, and is not necessarily inferior to free email than other websites. The most important thing is that neomail supports multiple languages, and of course, Simplified Chinese. And neomail is free software, and there is no limit on function.
now NEOMAIL has launched NEOMAIL 1.23, compared with previous versions, NEOMAIL 1.23 has considerable improvements, and the security has been improved, and several quite good features have been added. The hardware requirements required to install Neomail are not very high. In general, you can use Neomail. Of course, neomail requires support for CGI and MD5, Perl modules.
Before installing Neomail, you need to make the following preparations.
The Linux server needs to install Apache, Sendmail, POP and other services, and Apache, Sendmail, POP configuration is normal, and can start normally. The Linux server preferably has a fixed IP, domain name, can access the Internet or other networks normally.
Neomail 1.23 has been installed on your computer and online installation.
Install the environment:
CPU P233
RAM 64MB
Hard disk 2.1GB
redhat 7.0
IP 210.36.6x.xx
Domain name libmail.xxcompany.com.cn
Mail userid @ libmail.xxcompany.com.cn
Detailed installation process:
First, go to NEOMAIL's homepage http://neomail.sourceforge.net/#getit Download a new NEOMAIL 1.23 version to your local hard drive.
1. Unzip NEOMAIL-1.23.Tar.gz
Command:
#CD / TMP
#tar zxvf neomail-1.23.tar.gz
2. Perform the installer setup.pl
#CD NEOMAIL-1.23
#. / setup.pl
NEOMAIL SETUP
============
Special attention:
" //www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/cgi/cgi.pm-2.74.tar.gz
Download a latest CGI.pm version back to install, the specific installation process is not difficult, watch the CGI.PM module can be upgraded. B: neomail-1.23 may also detect that the MD5 encryption module in the computer system is incorrect, which may be that there is no installation or no MD5 when installing Linux. At this time you can also go to http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/md5/md5-1.7.tar.gz
Download the MD5 module for installation.
To explain, if Neomail-1.23 does not detect the two modules of CGI.PM and MD5, we cannot perform the next step.
Next is some common options, there are default values, and if there is no problem, you can make a modification manually.

If there is a message above, it will prove that the NEOMAIL 1.23 is basically installed, but it will be set up next.
Open the Netscape browser, enter
HTTP: // server address (IP can also) / cgi-bin/neomail.pl Figure 1
At this time, a simple landing interface will appear, as shown in Figure 2.
Use the users and passwords already existing in the Linux system to log in to the email user personal data and some of the commonly used parameters.
It is to explain that neomail 1.23 does not provide new users to register their own functions. To add users to the neomail 1.23 online post office, you must use Linux Super User root to manually add users and passwords to the Linux system to enable. Despite how much it is inconvenient, the security is still very high. It does not produce idle email accounts and wasts hard disk space.
The user interface after entering neomail is quite friendly, as shown in Figure 3.
NEOMAIL also provides address book feature. You can create folders and send attachments. There is no strange feeling in use.
Use neomail does not affect the POP3 service of Linux itself, users use Foxmail, Outlook can still send and receive messages on Linux normally.
