tmda newbie doing an install on Fedora Core 2 ... observations ... 1. rpmbuild is not happy with tarball name:
Instructions tell how to build an rpm from the tarball. The source tarball was named tmda.tgz by default. I tried: rpmbuild -tb tmda.tgz But it failed because the rpm spec was looking for tmda-1.0.3.tgz in order to get rpmbuild to work I had to: mv tmda.tgz tmda-1.0.3.tgz rpmbuild -tb tmda-1.0.3.tgz 2. permissions on doc directories After the rpm install the permissions on the /usr/share/doc directories were not good. The directories do not have x permissions, so non-root-users cannot look at them.

The installation instructions talk about using procmail under sendmail, but it wasn't clear to me how much of this applied to postfix. To simplify things I will turn off procmail (& spamassassin).
