* If you use the free ones (i.e. user.yourhda.com, [http://www.no-ip.org no-ip.org]), you will have to masquerade your email address as your ISP (i.e. myhda@yourisp.com). This will ensure you can receive email replies from those you send from your HDA.
==== Install Guidance ====
Here's the sequence of events to get the virtual email server up and running:
# Restart your HDA so it's fresh for the install. This is not required, just a recommendation.
# Create a web app in Amahi named '''webmail'''.
# Open a terminal window, become '''root''', and navigate to <u>/var/hda/web-apps/webmail</u> directory.
# Download script file (pick the correct one for your system) to this directory and extract it into <u>html</u> directory of webmail.
# From the <u>html</u> directory, run the '''host-update-virtual-mail-1.70.sh''' script. This will check your hostname. If it is not correct, you will be given an opportunity to change it.
# Answer all the questions. The answers will further customize your install. '''Note:''' Mail user name and password must be one word only (i.e. mailuser or mail_user are acceptable)
# Once it completes, run the '''install-virtual-mail-1.70.sh''' script. The dependencies will be installed first. Depending on your system, 68 is the typical amount for install on a new system.
# Watch the script for errors. This may help narrow down the problem if you cannot log in.
# Once the script is complete, note the user name and password.
# Navigate to <u>http://webmail</u> and enter your login credentials.
# To uninstall, run the '''uninstall-virtual-mail-1.70.sh''' script.
==== Tips ====
** Run the script to set up the /home/vmail/bar.com/me mail files:
mailx -s Welcome me@bar.com < /var/hda/web-apps/webmail/html/patch/welcome.txt
