- > |  | ### TMDA Requirements If you decide to give TMDA a whirl, make sure you have the necessary prerequisite software installed first. The Python programming language version 1.5.2 or higher. Many UNIX/Linux distributions now come with Python pre-installed. To check whether it is and what version you have installed, try typing python at your shell's command line:
  >     % python
  >     Python 2.1.1 (#1, Aug 30 2001, 03:48:58) [C] on osf1V5
  >     Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

An SMTP server (a.k.a. mail transport agent or MTA) for mail reception. Currently supported MTAs include qmail, Postfix, and Exim. Support for Sendmail is in process. If you are using an MTA other than qmail, a local delivery agent such as procmail or maildrop. This doesn't mean you need to maintain a .procmailrc or .mailfilter file; TMDA just uses the executable to perform final mail delivery. Any program capable of accepting a message on stdin and writing it to mailbox will suffice. But again, this is only required if you are NOT running qmail!
