Installing Maildrop on Void Linux

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Maildrop from https://gitlab.com/markbeeson/maildrop on Void Linux. Maildrop is a mail delivery agent that is designed specifically for use with the Courier mail server.

Prerequisites

Step 1: Install Dependencies

Before installing Maildrop, we need to install some dependencies. Open a terminal window and run the following command:

sudo xbps-install -S gcc make libtool curl-devel courier-authlib-devel courier-unicode-devel

Enter your sudo password when prompted and let the command complete.

Step 2: Download Maildrop

Now we need to download the Maildrop source code. Open a terminal window and run the following command:

curl -L -O https://gitlab.com/markbeeson/maildrop/-/archive/master/maildrop-master.tar.gz

Step 3: Extract Maildrop

After downloading the source code, we need to extract it from the archive. Open a terminal window and run the following command:

tar -zxvf maildrop-master.tar.gz

Step 4: Configure and Install Maildrop

It's now time to configure and install Maildrop. Open a terminal window and navigate to the extracted maildrop-master directory using the cd command. Then, run the following commands in sequence:

./configure
make
sudo make install

This will configure, compile, and install Maildrop on your system.

Step 5: Verify Installation

To confirm that Maildrop is installed and functioning properly, open a terminal window and run the following command:
