Install Ezmlm-idx
EZmlm-idx is a nice mailing list add-on to Qmail. When we install Qmailadmin later on, you'll see that EZmlm-idx integrates seamlessly into Qmailadmin to provide a very user friendly mailing list management interface. As an added bonus, Vpopmail (which we will install as well) will let you control what users can and cannot use mailing lists! Can't beat that! Its home page is here: http://www.ezmlm.org/
tar zxvfp ezmlm-idx-7.1.1.tar.gz
cd /downloads/ezmlm-idx-7.1.1
ln -s /downloads/ezmlm-idx-7.1.1/lang/en_US/ /downloads/ezmlm-idx-7.1.1/lang/default
make clean
make; make man
./ezmlm-test

Cleaning up...
Edit the files /downloads/ezmlm-idx-7.1.1/conf-ld and replace the first line by :
Create the needed Database.
The used MySQL_root_password should be the password chosen on pre-step 3. It's should not be the same as the password for ezmlmuser (EZMLM_PASSWORD).
It's not a typo, the MySQL_root_password should really be just aside the -p
CREATE DATABASE ezmlm;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON ezmlm.* TO ezmlmuser@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'EZMLM_PASSWORD';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
quit;
Test the account you have just created

Finalize the install
Ezmlm-0.53 is a qmail-based mailing list manager written by Dan J. Bernstein (qmail's author) ; ezmlm-idx originated as an add-on to it. It now exists as a complete package on its own, but can still be considered essentially as an extension to ezmlm.

It's because you need to install libmysqlclient16 libmysqlclient-dev. Install what is described on package-install.php

Any help is welcome.

when you're editing conf-ld file be sure "cc -g -B /usr/lib/mysql/" is on the first line. It gives an error message if you accidently hit enter while you editing the file and move the line one below.
Hi Again,
I reboot the server before the ./ezmlm-test
Thanks for your great we site.
