Installing the eperi Milter app

How to install the eperi Milter app on your target system with the help of the automated installation package.

Before you begin

  • You have downloaded the automated installation package suitable for your operating system from the eperi Customer Portal.
  • You have copied the automated installation package to your target system.
    Important: The eperi Milter app should run on the same server as Postfix since there is no SSL/TLS connection between Postfix and the eperi Milter app!

About this task

Note: The following procedure describes the installation under Ubuntu.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to the directory you copied the installation packages to.
  2. Execute dpkg with root privileges to install the software, for example: 
    sudo dpkg -i eperi-milter-19.16.1.0-34503.x86_64.deb
    Note: Your version number will most likely differ.

Results

The installation package creates the following directories on the target system:
  • /etc/eperi/milter/ → Used for the configuration file, an exemplary configuration file (config.properties) is shipped with the installation package. This has to be adjusted to your environment, see Configuring the eperi Milter app. The config file name has to be config.properties.
  • /var/log/eperi/milter → Used for logs (out.log)
  • /opt/eperi/milter → Main installation directory
