Installation of Death2Spam

These notes describe the installation and configuration of a Death2Spam mail application server, running an SMTP filtering gateway, POP proxy service and/or a NINJA backend processor. Normally, a D2S installation will also run an HTTP user interface/admin server.

Hardware and System Setup

• Linux (Redhat)
• Windows NT/2000

D2S Installation

Death2Spam is normally installed under /home/d2s on a Linux server, or at C:\d2s on a Windows machine. This installation guide assumes that /home/d2s or C:\d2s is the installation directory. To install the software, unpack the archive (either d2s.zip or d2s.tar.gz) into your chosen installation directory.

Resource Directories

The following directories should have been created during the installation process (under the server directory): bin, config, data, http, http/docroot, lib and mail. A logs directory (containing log files) will be created when the server is first started.

Other directories may also be created, depending on which services have been installed. If the Secure-HTTP service is to be utilized, a keystore file (containing the server certificate) must exist under the server directory -- contact our technical staff for more details if necessary.

Environment Requirements

In order to run Death2Spam, you must have installed a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.4 or later. With the appropriate JRE installed, Death2Spam will run on Windows, Linux, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, Macintosh OS-X, DEC OSF1, FreeBSD, and SGI Irix systems.

Configuration

• System Configuration
• Web Application Server
• Death2Spam SMTP Gateway Server

After the system and all requisite services have been configured, you should be able to start the Death2Spam server.
