Internet Express for Tru64 UNIX Version 6.10 Installation Guide (5900-1416, March 2011)
• Majordomo Automated Internet Mailing Lists Server (IAEMAJD)
Majordomo is a set of programs that automate the operation and maintenance of Internet
mailing lists. Majordomo automatically handles requests to subscribe to, or unsubscribe from,
mailing lists; it supports closed lists (subscription requests are sent to the list owner for approval)
and moderated lists (all messages are sent to the list owner for approval before sending to
subscribers). Lists that are set up under the control of Majordomo can be manipulated by
electronic mail, so the list owner does not have to be on the system where Majordomo is
running.
• ProcMail Mail Filtering Language (IAEPROC)
ProcMail is the mail processing language written by Stephen van den Berg of Germany. Using
ProcMail, you can filter hundreds or thousands of incoming mail messages per day according
to a predefined set of rules. Because the ProcMail utility understands details about most UNIX
mail transport and delivery agents, it is the tool of choice for writing custom mail filtering
scripts.
• Sendmail Mail Transport Agent (IAESMTP)
You can choose Sendmail as an option during installation. Sendmail is the BSD Mail Transport
Agent supporting E-mail transport by means of TCP/IP using Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
(SMTP).
The Internet Express installation configures the system to use Sendmail instead of the older
version of Sendmail installed with the Tru64 UNIX operating system.
Choosing this option also installs the bogofilter spam-filtering software.
• University of Washington IMAP4 Mail Server (IAEIMAP)
Networking Services:
• DNS/BIND (IAEBIND)
The Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) service is a client/server model that allows client
systems to obtain host names and addresses from DNS servers.
News Services:
• InterNetNews (INN) Server, a complete Usenet system (IAEINN)
The InterNetNews (INN) server is initially configured as a local news server. See the
Administration Guide for information on configuring the news server for external newsfeeds.
You can choose InterNetNews (INN) as an option during installation.
PC Connectivity Services:
• Samba File and Print Server for Windows (IAESMB)
The Samba File and Print Server serves UNIX files and print queues to PC clients by
implementing the SMB protocol (also known as the Lan Manager or Netbios protocol).
Proxy Services:
• Dante SOCKS Proxy Server (IAEDANTE)
Dante is a circuit-level firewall/proxy that can be used to provide convenient and secure
network connectivity to a wide range of hosts while requiring only the server Dante runs on
to have external network connectivity.
Once installed and configured, Dante can in most cases be made transparent to the clients
while offering detailed access control and logging facilities to the server administrator.
