The first step is to install the required dependencies for Chasquid to run on your system. To do that, open the Terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install golang
This command will update your system's package list and install the Golang programming language.
After installing the dependencies, you are ready to download and install Chasquid. To do that, follow the commands below:
wget https://github.com/blitiri/chasquid/releases/download/v1.5/chasquid_1.5_linux_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i chasquid_1.5_linux_amd64.deb
These commands will download the latest version of Chasquid from the official GitHub release, and install it on your Linux Mint Latest system.
Now that you have installed Chasquid on your system, it's time to configure it. The default configuration file of Chasquid is located at /etc/chasquid/chasquid.conf. You can open this file with your favorite text editor.
Here is an example configuration for Chasquid:
# Listen addresses (TCP-only).
listenaddr 127.0.0.1:1025
# Certificate and key files. We use a self-signed certificate for this example.
tls-cert /etc/chasquid/cert.pem
tls-key /etc/chasquid/key.pem
# Log to syslog (default).
log-syslog true
# Use thinning to mitigate spam and DoS only.
thinning 20 # rate: 20 msgs/sec.
This configuration file will make Chasquid listen on 127.0.0.1:1025 for incoming email messages, use a self-signed TLS certificate, log to the system's syslog, and apply thinning to mitigate spam and DoS attacks.
After configuring Chasquid, you can start the service using the following command:
sudo systemctl start chasquid
You can verify if Chasquid is running without any issues by checking its status:
systemctl status chasquid
If the service is running correctly, you should see an output similar to this:
