How to install Pop3ml
---------------------
- Uncompress zip/tgz file (ie. /tmp/pop3ml.tgz) into your http server DOCUMENT_ROOT (ie. /srv/www/htdocs)

   cd /srv/www/htdocs
   tar xzvf /tmp/pop3ml.tgz
   cd pop3ml

- create ml database

   mysqladmin -u username -p create pop3ml
   mysql -u username -p pop3ml <./sql/pop3ml.sql

- create mltable record

   mysql -u username -p pop3ml <./sql/mltable.sql

   for italian version:

   mysql -u username -p pop3ml <./sql/mltable-it.sql

- download all required php scripts (if URL's have changed search 'phpclasses.org' for new location)
  (check file owner and permissions)

- run your browser to http://yourserver.com/phpMyAdmin, select database 'pop3ml' and table 'mltable'.
  adjust mltable record filling all field (see below for explanation).
  You better add subscribers list after some tests.

- edit config.php file and adjust some variables (mlinfo->listname with listname, user/password...)

- test installation. Run your browser:

   http://yourserver.com/pop3ml/mlsend.php
 
   if you receive a message like this:
      2009/01/29 11:31:34. mylistname: 0 mess.
   you can go on with smtp test, otherwise there is a problem with pop3 account.

- make smtp test. Send an email message to ML address (i.e. a message without subject and body
  only with 'subscribe' for subscription test). Be aware, messages could delay (queue,
  slow smtp server,lan traffic,..). Run your browser:

   http://yourserver.com/pop3ml/mlsend.php

   if you don't receive a message like this:
      2009/01/29 11:37:22. mylistname: 1 mess. total size [1738] # 1, size [1738]: subscribe [myaccount@myserver.it]. require confirmation:
   there is a problem sending message to smtp server. You can use "test_smtp.php" or "test_gmail.php"
   for gmail accounts.

- after succesfully ML test, copy the shell script to an excecutable directory
  and adjust it (user and password if required). you can use other programs/shell scripts
  to run php script (lynx for example)

   cp ./template/mlsend.sh /usr/local/bin

   or

   cp ./template/mlsend-lynx.sh /usr/local/bin/mlsend.sh

- edit your crontab file and add your personal data 

   crontab -e

   (this example run Pop3ml every 10 minutes, from 8:00 AM to 20:00 PM, and from monday to saturday)

    0,10,20,30,40,50 8-20 * * 1-6 /usr/local/bin/mlsend.sh

- check periodically log files
