Assistant - milter installation

MSH Out of Office Assistant is not supported now. To manage auto replies please try MSH Postfix Autoresponder application.

Before you can set vacation auto replies and common email autoresponses you need to install and configure the Milter extension for your mail server.

MSH Out of Office Assistant supports Postfix and cooperates with the Mozilla Thunderbird mail client.

Install milter server module on your MTA

Application consists of three modules:

Server Module - which is installed on mail server
Administrator Panel – used by the administrator to configure and set up client modules
Client Module – extensions for Mozilla Thunderbird installed on users’ desktop machines

Below you will find a description of Server Module installation. After downloading the application, you need to add the executable bit to the install script.

chmod +x msh-o3a-milter.bin

Run the installation script with –-auto parameter:

./msh-o3a-milter.bin -–auto

After successful installation, you’ll see output like this:

* Checking permissions... OK
* Self extracting installer... OK
* Checking Java 1.6 or above installation... OK
* Running installer...
* Extracting files... OK
* Copying init script files... OK

* Appending smtpd_milters = inet:localhost:7072
* Starting msh-o3a-settings... OK
* Starting msh-o3a-milter... OK
* Reloading postfix... OK
* Application installed.

By default application installs in /opt/msh-o3a directory.

Post installation configure

Server Module doesn’t need additional configuration; it works out of the box. You only need to remember to check if the firewall is not blocking the 1105 and 1106 TCP ports.
