"maildrop is the mail filter/mail delivery agent that's used by
the Courier Mail Server."
You will not be using Maildrop or the Courier Mail Server for this
installation. However, Qmail-Scanner requires reformmime, which is included
in Maildrop. This is the only reason Maildrop is mentioned in this HOWTO.
Download and unpack the latest version of Maildrop. Please read the
INSTALL file included in the tar ball.
Time::HiRes module: High resolution time, sleep, and alarm.
"Implement usleep, ualarm, and gettimeofday for Perl, as well as
wrappers to implement time, sleep, and alarm that know about non-integral
seconds."
DB_File Perl module:
From the README file in the tar ball:
"DB_File is a module which allows Perl programs to make use of the
facilities provided by Berkeley DB version 1. (DB_File can be built version
2, 3 or 4 of Berkeley DB, but it will only support the 1.x features),"
Download Time::HiRes and DB_File Perl Modules. The modules can be
obtained at www.cpan.org (See Appendix C). There is a HOWTO there as well
that will explain the installation procedure of Perl modules. Once again,
please read the instructions included in the tar balls and review the README
information before installing.
