On the very first start, macOS checks with Apple once. The machine needs an internet connection for that moment; afterwards it does not.
System requirements
| macOS | Linux | |
|---|---|---|
| Version | macOS 14 or newer | Current distribution with systemd |
| Database | MariaDB 11 or MySQL 8, reachable | |
| Memory | 2 GB are enough for small installations | |
| Disk | About 33 MB per 1,000 messages. 25 users therefore need roughly 4 GB, 250 users roughly 37 GB. While the search index is rebuilt it briefly needs about a third more than its final size — keep that space free. | |
| Ports | 25 (SMTP), 143 and 993 (IMAP), 443 (HTTPS) | |
| Network | Static IP address or DynDNS, a DNS record pointing to the machine | |
AnnexGroup runs as a server on macOS and Linux, not on Windows (nor on Windows Server) — there is no package for it. Windows workstations use the server in the browser or with a mail client such as Outlook or Thunderbird.
Getting started
tar xzf annexgroup-1.0.4-darwin-arm64.tar.gz
cd annexgroup-1.0.4-darwin-arm64
sudo ./install-macos.shThe script creates the service user, directories and the system service, and then tells you the three steps still missing. It deliberately does not start the service yet — the database comes first.
Everything, step by step, is in the installation guide.
Included in the package
- The program — a single file, no further dependencies
- Sample configuration
- Service definition for
launchdorsystemd - Installation and uninstallation scripts
- Quick-start guide
Version 1.0.4 means what it says: fully usable, but young. What AnnexGroup can and cannot do is stated openly on the page Moving from Exchange — read it before installing; it can save you an evening.
