Install Ezmlm-idx
EZmlm-idx is a nice mailing list add-on to Qmail. When we install Qmailadmin later on, you'll see that EZmlm-idx integrates seamlessly into Qmailadmin to provide a very user friendly mailing list management interface. As an added bonus, Vpopmail (which we will install as well) will let you control what users can and cannot use mailing lists! Can't beat that! Its home page is here: http://www.ezmlm.org/
tar zxvfp ezmlm-idx-7.2.2.tar.gz
Edit the files /downloads/ezmlm-idx-7.2.2/conf-ld and replace the first line by :
ln -s /downloads/ezmlm-idx-7.2.2/lang/en_US /downloads/ezmlm-idx-7.2.2/lang/default
make clean
make; make man
./ezmlm-test
To use a language other than US English as the default for list texts, edit the file /downloads/ezmlm-idx-7.2.2/conf-lang and change the first line to one of the ISO language designations found in the /downloads/ezmlm-idx-7.2.2/lang directory.

Create the needed Database.
The used MySQL_root_password should be the password chosen on pre-step 3. It's should not be the same as the password for ezmlmuser (EZMLM_PASSWORD).
It's not a typo, the MySQL_root_password should really be just aside the -p
CREATE DATABASE ezmlm;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON ezmlm.* TO ezmlmuser@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'EZMLM_PASSWORD';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
quit;

Ezmlm-0.53 is a qmail-based mailing list manager written by Dan J. Bernstein (qmail's author) ; ezmlm-idx originated as an add-on to it. It now exists as a complete package on its own, but can still be considered essentially as an extension to ezmlm.
