Hi Team,

Please help me with ready documentation on the same, if any available.

[bas]

There is plenty of doc available on the web and wiki. Did you ever setup/configure MTA (Mail Transfer Agent) like postfix, exim, .. before.

The email2trac/postfix is used a lot and well documented on the wiki.

Did you install a deb package or compiled it from source?

Hi, thanx for the update, i have installed deb package using commands as below

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install trac-email2trac

wget ​ftp://ftp.sara.nl/pub/outgoing/email2trac.tar.gz

tar -xzvf email2trac.tar.gz

cd email2trac-1.6.0/

aptitude install build-essential cdbs chrpath

Hi Team,

Is any one available to help on above queries?

[bas]

I think you have to read some postfix docs and how to configure aliases. Google can help a lot. It will help you a lot to gain some knowledge:

• postconf | grep alias
