This is a more elaborate version of the previous chapter, this time connecting to MySQL. To learn PowerMail operations, it is suggested to start with a simple installation.
The pplistener actually stores and serves messages to users. There might be many pplisteners but in our simple installation there will be only one. The backend daemon pplistener defaults to using /var/powermail for storing messages, you may whish to change this in /etc/powermail/pplistener.conf.
Now start pplistener:
# /etc/init.d/pplistener start pplistener: started # /etc/init.d/pplistener status pplistener: pplistener functioning ok: +OK OK!
