Chapter 2: Installation

This chapter describes the installation of IMail Server. First, it describes what you need to know about the primary host (the system on which you install IMail Server), and what decisions you need to make before running the installation.

Next, a procedure walks you through the steps to get IMail Server
up and running. This is followed by a description of the root user ID, a quick test of your installation, an overview of the IMail Server configuration, and the directory structure. The last two sections cover upgrading and removing IMail Server.

It is highly recommended that you read the "IMail Server Getting Started Guide" included with this product before you begin the installation process. Reading this guide will greatly reduce the amount of time needed for installation and configuration, and will prevent unnecessary problems from occurring during setup.

Note: IMail Server requires a static IP address, it will not function using a dynamic IP address.
