mailreader.cfg - configuration files for Mailreader.com

Directory /etc/mailreader contains config files for Mailreader.com system. Most options are in /etc/mailreader/server.cfg



NEED TO be ended with slash ( / ) otherwise mailreader will not work.

HTMLPath

Path to html template files used by cgi script to generate dynamic html pages. This is local path (not relative to DocumentRoot or cgi-bin).

DefaultHTMLFile

The logs/ directory will have an index-file (index.html) and a bunch of parsed logfiles in html and raw format. This just defines the name of the index-file (Default.htm for IIS etc) so that it can be accessed with just blah/logs/ instead of blah/logs/theindexfile.hmtl.

For Debian this doesn't work because logs are outside the

and cannot be accessed via web browser

has files that contain user's passwords (with REALLY STUPID encoding). If that one is 1, then the directory contains not only passwords but files that look like passwords that really aren't. Mind you, on the server side there is

SMTPServers

List (separated by a comma) of SMTP servers allowed to use for sending outgoing mails. First server is default one.

OverrideHELO

Some SMTP servers only let you in if your HELO domain is correct. Normally Mailreader uses users mailserver domain as

, but since some servers refuse those this will make it possible to lie.

OverrideMailFrom

SMTP server requires MAIL FROM , usually Mailreader just uses the users email address, but sometimes the server requires something else. This doesn't actually affect the reply address of the email, or anything else. It's just an convenient way to lie to the mailserver.
