Install Mailpile on OpenBSD 5.5 Guide OpenBSD

First mention that I am a fan of OpenBSD and security. So I want a way to combine Mailpile and OpenBSD.

Well, then let's start with the packages you need to have installed.

We get as root and we move to the temporary directory

su

cd /tmp

Then we needed packages install, The command can change according to the current versions, look in the current versions of OpenBSD FTP server

pkg_add git curl python-2.7.6p0 py-setuptools-1.1.6v0 py-lxml-2.3.2 py-libxml-2.9.1 py-libxslt-1.1.28

curl -L -o get-pip.py https://raw.github.com/pypa/pip/master/contrib/get-pip.py

python get-pip.py

After installing these basic needs, put the following command

STATIC_DEPS=true pip install lxml

Create a symbolic link of python, because in OpenBSD binary is named differently in linux for example

ln -s /usr/local/bin/python2.7 /usr/local/bin/python2

Then we move where our mailpile be located, in my case

cd /var/www

And we clone our repository

git clone -b release/alpha https://github.com/pagekite/Mailpile.git

We move to our new directory

cd Mailpile

We put this command without this did magic

pip install -r requirements.txt

This is ready!

MY EXAMPLE CONFIGURATION

./mp

mailpile> setup

mailpile> set profiles.0.email = yourmail@domain.com

mailpile> set profiles.0.name = Your Real Name

Basic: Send mail in the clear over port 25

mailpile> set profiles.0.route = smtp://user:password@smtphost.com:25

or

Better: Send mail using TLS over the submission port, 587

mailpile> set profiles.0.route = smtptls://user:password@smtphost.com:587

./mp --set sys.http_host=0.0.0.0

./mp --www

I hope you serve, I'm already researching how to use virtual domains and mailpile rid of roundcube.

I hope we do, I want to first thank the staff for their hard work Mailpile and effort.

Mailpile walks to be very safe, thanks to its creator and the community.

Currently I'm already tested on my dedicated server with OpenBSD, still does not work 100% but hopefully time to refine the work.
