2.1.2.3.1. Standard Installation

Add executable bit to the installation script:

chmod +x msh-ds-milter.bin

Run as root the script with --install parameter:

./msh-ds-milter.bin --install

Note

Installation script should automatically detect Sendmail configuration. If you have multiple instances of MTA then Sendmail configuration could be wrongly detected. You can force to use Sendmail mail server, just run script with additional --use-sendmail parameter.

Before installation could continue you need to confirm found Java path:

* Checking permissions...done.
* Java version found... openjdk version "1.8.0-internal"
* Path: /opt/java

  You need at least version 1.8.0 (JRE 8.0), does detected version meet requirements? [y/n] y

If Java path is correct hit y and press Enter key.

When installation succeed you will see output like this:

* Running installer...
* Extracting files...done.
* Linking init script files...done.
* Updating init scripts...done.
* Copying remove script...done.
* Copying diagnostic logging script...done.
* Updating Sendmail configuration file...done.
* Starting msh-ds-settings...done.
* Starting msh-ds-milter...done.
* Reloading Sendmail...done.
* Application successfully installed (version X.Y.Z) in /opt/msh-ds.

>> Using default TCP ports 1107 and 1108. Make sure that firewall is not blocking them.
