# Starting KumoMTA
|
|
|
|
Once KumoMTA has been installed and an initial policy script is in place, the
|
|
server can be started with the following command:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ sudo systemctl start kumomta
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It can be enabled as a service with:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ sudo systemctl enable kumomta
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can check the status with:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ sudo systemctl status kumomta
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It can also be started manually with:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ sudo /opt/kumomta/sbin/kumod \
|
|
--policy /opt/kumomta/etc/policy/init.lua \
|
|
--user kumod
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* Using sudo allows it to run as a privileged user so it can access port 25 which is needed to send and receive from most MTAs.
|
|
* The daemon `kumod` is the MTA
|
|
* The directive --policy makes kumod load the 'init.lua' file as configuration policy.
|
|
* The *--user* directive allows the server to drop privileges after attaching to port 25 so that it does not continue to run as root.
|
|
|
|
For more detailed output, prepend ```KUMOD_LOG=kumod=info``` (or debug for even more detail):
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ sudo KUMOD_LOG=kumod=info /opt/kumomta/sbin/kumod \
|
|
--policy /opt/kumomta/etc/policy/init.lua --user kumod
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If all goes well, it should return a PID and drop you back to a Linux prompt.
|
|
|
|
If KumoMTA does not start, refer to the [Troubleshooting Page](./troubleshooting.md) of the User Guide.
|
|
|
|
NOTE that if you are also planning to use the TSA shaping service, you should enable that as well:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ sudo systemctl start kumo-tsa-daemon
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It can be enabled as a service with:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ sudo systemctl enable kumo-tsa-daemon
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can check the status with:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ sudo systemctl status kumo-tsa-daemon
|
|
```
