CHECKLIST
=========
KMS is a complete mail server solution incorporating
various messaging protocols. For this reason, it uses
various network port numbers such as 25 for SMTP, 110
for POP3 or 143 for IMAP. These ports must be
available to KMS. You should check if any of these
ports are not used by other applications.
To see what applications are listening on what ports,
type command:
netstat –tcp -lp
Often default Linux installations install packages
like sendmail or postfix, using these ports.
if sendmail or postfix is running, you can stop it by
running command:
/etc/init.d/sendmail stop
or
/etc/init.d/postfix stop
To prevent sendmail or postfix from automatic run
upon the system boot, you can disable them by running
command:
/sbin/chkconfig sendmail off
or
/sbin/chkconfig postfix off
INSTALLATION
============
Kerio MailServer (KMS) comes as two standalone rpm
packages:
1. The mail server package
You must install this package on a computer where
you want to run the mail server.
2. X-Windows-based administration console
You should install this package on a computer from
which you will administer KMS. This computer must
run X-Windows system. Alternatively, you may
install and use the Microsoft Windows based KMS
administration console.
AFTER INSTALLATION
==================
After you install the mail server package, you must
run text-based console wizard from linux terminal by
typing commands:
cd /opt/kerio/mailserver
./cfgwizard
In this wizard you will be asked for basic setup information
necessary to create first local domain and administration
account which can be later used to configure the server.
RUNNING KMS
===========
KMS installs itself as a service and will start
automatically upon the system boot.
After installation you must start KMS manually.
To manually control KMS, you can use the following
script:
To start KMS, type:
/etc/init.d/keriomailserver start
To stop KMS, type:
/etc/init.d/keriomailserver stop
ADMINISTRATION
==============
KMS configuration is performed through the admini-
stration console. The console is available for
X-Windows and MS Windows systems. You may install
the console on a different computer than the one
running KMS. The administration console will allow
you to connect remotely to the KMS over the network.
If you’ve installed the administration console on
Linux, you may launch the console by typing the
command:
kerioadmin
