INTRODUCTION
============
GMS Comm is the Internet List Server for Windows and Unix platforms.
If you need to communicate with your customer base by E-Mail or run a
list service of any sort, then GMS Comm is the product for you.
It is robust, reliable, powerful, easy to use and simple to maintain!

GMS is the powerful messaging server running on Windows,
Linux, Solaris and AIX. It is being used by over twenty four thousand
customers, in more than ninety countries, covering all sectors
(Airlines, Press, Government Agencies, Education, Industry, etc).

GMS Comm  is a complete webmail server that can be used as either
a standalone server in its own right, or used in conjunction with
other Gordano Messaging Suite products. If used in conjunction with
GMS then users see identical contents in their mailboxes
whether these are accessed by either GMS or GMS WebMail

A number of other facilities such as GMS Anti-Spam, Anti Virus,
Instant Messaging, SMS, WAP and iMode are all available as part of
the Gordano Messaging Suite.


1. Installation & Manuals
   ======================

   1.1 Installation.

   The current installation code does not use the pkgadd mechanism. It will be
   updated to do so.

   Extract the gz and resultant tar file to a suitable directory e.g. /install

   Run the following script to install GMS - note this needs superuser access

   './install'

   The 'install' script will install GMS if it does not exist on your system
   or update an existing installation to the latest version.

   During the installation of the Gordano Messaging Suite, you will
   be asked to choose a password. Please write down the password so
   that you can use it to configure the Gordano Messaging Suite from
   your Web browser when you enter the URL:
    http://localhost:8000

   1.2 Changes made to system.

   Search /etc/rc*.d for sendmail startup script.
   If found, rename it so it does not get called at startup.
   e.g. mv /etc/rc2.d/S80sendmail /etc/rc2.d/.S80sendmail

   Create the GMS startup script in same location as sendmail script
   or in /etc/rc2.d/S80glmail by default.

   Kill the sendmail process.

   Install the GMS software in a directory specified by the user,
   the default is /opt/glmail.

   Set permissions on installed software.

   1.3 To uninstall the software.

   The following changes need to be made to uninstall the GMS Services.

   Search /etc/rc*.d for the disabled sendmail script
   if found, rename it so it is called at startup
   e.g. mv /etc/rc2.d/.S80sendmail /etc/rc2.d/S80sendmail

   Remove the GMS startup script /etc/rc2.d/S80glmail

   Remove the GMS library link libglmail.so from /usr/lib

   Remove the GMS software from the installed directory

   They can be performed by running the uninstall script in the GMS base
   directory.

   Assuming GMS is installed in /opt/gordano, the following command sequence
   will run a preview of the uninstall process saving the results in a file
   called 'uninstall.txt'.

   cd /opt/gordano
   ./uninstall

   The following command sequence will uninstall GMS Services, removing all the
   associated files after requesting confirmation from the user.

   cd /opt/gordano
   ./uninstall now
