Homebrew is a package manager for macOS that makes it easy to install and manage software. To install Homebrew, open a Terminal window and enter the following command:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
This will download and install Homebrew on your macOS system.
To install Chasquid, open a Terminal window and enter the following command:
brew install chasquid
This will download and install Chasquid along with its dependencies on your macOS system.
By default, Chasquid will use the following configuration file: /usr/local/etc/chasquid/chasquid.conf. You can edit this file to adjust the configuration and settings of Chasquid to best fit your needs.
To start Chasquid, open a Terminal window and enter the following command:
sudo chasquid
This will start the Chasquid SMTP server with the default settings.
You can test Chasquid by sending an email to yourself using the sendmail command. Open a Terminal window and enter the following command:
echo "Test email" | sendmail -f your_email_address@gmail.com your_email_address@gmail.com
Replace your_email_address@gmail.com with your actual email address. If Chasquid is running correctly, you should see the email in your inbox.
In this tutorial, we learned how to install and configure Chasquid on macOS using Homebrew. We also learned how to start and test Chasquid to ensure it is working correctly.
