Becoming a Postfix mirror site

In order to have your Postfix mirror site listed on the Postfix web site, please send mail to wietse@porcupine.org that answers the following questions.

Please note: Wietse often saves up the website updates for a week or more before going through them.

• Timeliness: specify your mirroring frequency. Use a mirroring procedure that:

  • runs as a CRON job
  • runs least once a day.

• Accuracy: specify what mirroring software will you be using. Use mirroring software that:

  • downloads only the new files
  • removes all files that no longer exist on the primary server.

  Examples of mirroring software:

  • mirror
  • ftpcopy
  • wget

• What: specify what files you are going to mirror:

  • source code: ftp://ftp.porcupine.org/mirrors/postfix-release/
  • documentation: ftp://ftp.porcupine.org/mirrors/postfix-master/

• Where: specify at what URLs the information will be made available.

• Location: specify what city/country should be listed on the Postfix web site.
