PureMessage for UNIX: prerequisites for installation

The complete prerequisites for installing PureMessage for UNIX can be found in the "Installing PureMessage ..." section of the documentation. For suggested server configuration, see PureMessage: memory and CPU power needed on the server.

Apart from a supported platform and 500 MB of disk space for the initial installation, PureMessage has few installation prerequisites. Additional disk usage will vary according to your mail volume.

A custom and self-contained version of ActivePerl is included in the PureMessage installation.

PureMessage includes versions of both sendmail and Postfix. However, external installations of Postfix, sendmail, Sendmail Switch, and Java System Messaging Server (JSMS) are also supported. See the "Supported Mail Transfer Agents" section of "Installing PureMessage ..." in the documentation for the specific versions.

If you need more information or guidance, then please contact technical support.
