Basic Install information¶

don't forget for new installations: as of 0.8.3 iRedMail is still not SELinux friendly, so please turn it off or to permissive

see also http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/SELinux

Installation¶

use the guide from http://www.iredmail.org/docs/install.iredmail.on.rhel.html

Hickup 0.8.3¶

If there is yum-priorities installed and a priority set for CentOS-repo, then the iRedMail.repo is automatically getting a lower priority.

2 Ways to resolve this:

• yum erase yum-priorities
• set a lower value to priority in iRedMail.repo than in CentOS-repo (e.g. 5 and 10)

Post-Installation¶

SeLinux¶

as of version 0.8.3 iRedMail disables SeLinux. I use SeLinux at least permissive, just

vim /etc/selinux/config

# This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
#     enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
#     permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
#     disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded.
#SELINUX=enforcing
SELINUX=permissive
# SELINUXTYPE= can take one of these two values:
#     targeted - Targeted processes are protected,
#     mls - Multi Level Security protection.
SELINUXTYPE=targeted
