jlam 5f60d5c020 First cut at packaging the MTA and mailing list components of
courier-0.53.1 as mail/courier-mta.

The Courier mail transfer agent (MTA) is a modular multiprotocol mail
server that's designed to strike a balance between reasonable performance,
flexibility and features.

This package differs from traditional courier-mta packages in that
the webmail, imap/pop3, and maildrop components are not included
because they are supplied by the mail/sqwebmail, mail/courier-imap,
and mail/maildrop packages, respectively.  When Courier-MTA is installed
together with Courier-IMAP and SqWebMail, they form an integrated
mail/groupware server suite that provides ESMTP, IMAP, POP3, webmail,
and mailing list services within a single, consistent, framework.  A
web-based administration and configuration tool is included for
comprehensive configuration of the entire Courier software suite.

Many thanks to Yarema <yds@CoolRat.org> whose Courier port for FreeBSD
was an invaluable reference.

It is recommended that Courier-MTA be installed together with Courier-IMAP
and SqWebMail -- together, they form an integrated mail/groupware
server suite that provides ESMTP, IMAP, POP3, webmail, and mailing
list services within a single, consistent framework that may be managed
through a web CGI application.
There are two things which must be done to make the Courier ``webadmin''
CGI application accessible through your HTTP server:
(1) Copy the ``courierwebadmin'' CGI binary to the appropriate place in
your HTTP document root, e.g. ${PREFIX}/libexec/cgi-bin, then
Courier webadmin would be accessible through:
http://your.domain.com/cgi-bin/courierwebadmin
(2) Install a password to protect the ``webadmin'' CGI application by
creating a one-line file containing the plaintext password at:
${PKG_SYSCONFDIR}/webadmin/password
This file should be owned by ${COURIER_USER}:${COURIER_GROUP} with
read-only permissions restricted to the owner (mode 0400).
