MailCare is a platform that helps you manage your email delivery and ensure that it reaches its intended recipients. This tutorial will guide you through the steps required to install MailCare on OpenBSD.
Before we begin, make sure that you have a working OpenBSD installation and administrative access.
Log in to your OpenBSD server as the root user using SSH.
Download the MailCare installation package from the following link:
$ sudo wget https://packages.mailcare.io/openbsd/mailcare-0.1.tar.gz
Extract the downloaded package:
$ sudo tar -zxvf mailcare-0.1.tar.gz
Move the extracted directory into the /usr/local directory:
$ sudo mv mailcare-0.1 /usr/local/mailcare
Install the required dependencies:
$ sudo pkg_add curl unzip
Install the MailCare dependencies:
$ cd /usr/local/mailcare
$ sudo sh ./install.sh
Create a configuration file for MailCare:
$ sudo nano /usr/local/mailcare/.env
In the configuration file, add the following lines:
MAILCARE_SMTP_HOST=smtp.example.com
MAILCARE_SMTP_PORT=587
MAILCARE_SMTP_USERNAME=username
MAILCARE_SMTP_PASSWORD=password
MAILCARE_SENDER_EMAIL=sender@example.com
MAILCARE_RECIPIENT_EMAILS=["recipient1@example.com", "recipient2@example.com"]
MAILCARE_MAIL_SUBJECT=Test Email
MAILCARE_MAIL_BODY=This is a test email.
Replace the values above with the SMTP server information and email addresses that you want to use.
Enable MailCare:
$ sudo /usr/local/mailcare/bin/mailcare start
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured MailCare on OpenBSD. You can now monitor your email delivery and ensure that your messages reach their intended recipients.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
