Install instructions for DHIS R5 server module dhis-mx-sendmail-engine
======================================================================

This package contains a mail relaying service module to be used
with dhisd release 5 or above and the dynamic DNS module.

While the DHIS server dhisd retrieves dynamic IP addresses
from clients, this module allows the server to deliver messages
that were previously queued for the newly online host.


This module is to be used with sendmail as an MTA.
While this module listens to messages from the dhisd server,
sendmail is invoqued from it to actually deliver email messages.

This module depends on the DNS module as messages will query DNS
to obtain the IP address of the host for which mail is to be
delivered.

This module uses the DHIS server database file itself to build
its ID to FQDN matrix. When reading /etc/dhis/db/dhis.db 
it ignores all keyword lines apart from HostName. 

This allows a single database file for both DHIS plus MX module.
The DHIS server likewise ignores HostName lines. 

Database files from release 4 may be used with DHIS R5 + this module

For more information on modules see the dhisd documentation.
