This is Release 2.0 of IndiMail. The release has both source.tar.gz, RPMs and debs.

• This is a FHS compliant version of IndiMail. All binaries have moved to /usr/bin, /usr/sbin. Similarly other files have been moved to appropriate locations.
• The new directories are incompatible with previous versions of IndiMail.
• The code still needs some thorough testing. Volunteers are welcome.
• It is advised that the package be installed on a test setup and tried out
• To install on a new system, you can directly install using yum/dnf, apt-get or using rpm, dpkg package tools
• To Install on an existing system following steps are required
• run the migrate script migrate1to2.sh This script migrates all your configuration files to /etc/indimail and keeps your MySQL database intact.
• The script migrate1to2.sh is attached in this email. This script needs to be run with root privilege. The best way to test this is to backup indimail from an existing system, restore it on a new system and run the script on the new system.
• erase existing IndiMail 1.x package
• Install IndiMail 2.x package... read more
