NAME

Mail::Toaster::Conf - How to configure your Mail::Toaster

SYNOPSIS

The toaster has two main configuration files, toaster.conf and toaster-watcher.conf. On most platforms, both of these files live in /usr/local/etc. Make changes to these files to customize your Mail::Toaster build.

DESCRIPTION

Configuration Files

The toaster has two main configuration files, toaster.conf and toaster-watcher.conf. On FreeBSD, both of these files live in /usr/local/etc.

The reason for having two config files is security. The toaster-watcher.conf file is available only to programs with root privileges (toaster-watcher.pl, toaster_setup.pl). This is because passwords and other security sensitive information is stored in that file.

  toaster-watcher.conf controls options relating to: 
   - where files are kept on your particular server 
   - settings related to how the toaster is built
   - what programs and options are installed
   - where programs and run files are installed
   - run time parameters used to configure daemons
   - how the toaster's logs should be processed.

  toaster.conf is for everything else (mailadmin, maillogs)
