------------------------------
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/Ezmlm-Gpg.
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 test
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;
You can find a documented example of the ezmlmwebrc.gnupg file in the
examples directory.
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".
