Postfix Building from Source

yum install gcc make db4-devel mysql-devel cyrus-sasl-devel mysql-server

echo "postfix:x:89:89::/var/spool/postfix:/sbin/nologin" >> /etc/passwd echo "postdrop:x:90:90::/var/spool/postfix:/sbin/nologin" >> /etc/passwd echo "postfix:x:89:" >> /etc/group echo "postdrop:x:90:" >> /etc/group ln -s /usr/lib/sasl2/ /usr/local/lib/sasl2 Next you will need to download the postfix source file from: http://postfix.energybeam.com/source/official/ or one of the mirrors at http://www.postfix.org/download.html. Then change to the Postfix Source directory.

To build with MySQL, TLS, & Dovecot SASL support make makefiles 'CCARGS=-DHAS_MYSQL -I/usr/include/mysql -I/usr/include/sasl/ \ -DUSE_SASL_AUTH -DUSE_CYRUS_SASL -DDEF_SERVER_SASL_TYPE=\"dovecot\" -DUSE_TLS' \ 'AUXLIBS=-L/usr/lib/mysql -L/usr/local/lib -lmysqlclient -lz -lm -lssl -lcrypto -lsasl2' echo $? Or for MySQL & TLS only make makefiles 'CCARGS=-DHAS_MYSQL -I/usr/include/mysql -DUSE_TLS' 'AUXLIBS=-L/usr/lib/mysql \ -lmysqlclient -lz -lm -lssl -lcrypto' echo $? Or with SQLite, TLS, & Dovecot SASL support (see Installing Postfix on Fedora using SQLite) make -f Makefile.init makefiles 'CCARGS=-DHAS_SQLITE -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/include/sasl/ \ -DUSE_SASL_AUTH -DUSE_CYRUS_SASL -DDEF_SERVER_SASL_TYPE=\"dovecot\" -DUSE_TLS' \ 'AUXLIBS=-L/usr/local/lib -lsqlite3 -lz -lm -lssl -lcrypto -lsasl2' echo $?

Then to compile your install... make echo $? If that runs ok then run. make install This next part asks a bunch of questions, if you don't know the answer the defaults should be fine. echo $?
