This file describes how to manage encrypted mailing lists with ezmlm-web.
Content:
1) Requirements
2) Installation of gpg-ezmlm
3) Setup of ezmlm-web
4) Notes
------------------------------
1) Requirements
To use encrypted mailing lists, you need to install gpg-ezmlm (see
http://www.synacklabs.net/projects/crypt-ml/). It is essential to use
at least version 0.3.4.
gpg-ezmlm will handle your incoming and outgoing mails. It does not
support all the features of ezmlm-idx, but it should suffice for the
specialized needs of encrypted communication for small groups.
Install the perl module Mail::Ezmlm::Gpg to access gpg-ezmlm. You can
downloaded it from
https://systemausfall.org/toolforge/ezmlm-web/downloads/gnupg-support.
Of course, you also need gnupg (it is required by gpg-ezmlm, too).
2) Installation
Follow the instructions in the README file of gpg-ezmlm.
Usually it should boil down to the following commands:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make install
3) Setup of ezmlm-web
The location of the encryption configuration file for ezmlm-web depends
on the location of your ezmlmwebrc file. ezmlm-web will just check, if
a file prefixed with ".gnupg" exists besides ezmlmwebrc.
In short: you have to put it into the same directory, as you placed your
ezmlmwebrc. ezmlm-web will NOT look into any other location.
To support the setup of encrypted mailing lists, you have to include the
following lines in your ezmlmwebrc.gnupg file.
use Mail::Ezmlm::Gpg;
GPG_SUPPRT = yes;
4) Notes
As soon as you installed all the necessary programs and after you did put
the ezmlmwebrc.gnupg to the right location, you will find a new link in the
navigation bar of ezmlm-web named "Encryption".
