Becoming a
mirror site

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

  • Timeliness: specify your mirroring frequency. Use a mirroring procedure that:
    • runs as a CRON job

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

  • What: specify what files you are going to mirror:
    • source code: ftp://ftp.porcupine.org/mirrors/postfix-release/
    • web site: ftp://ftp.porcupine.org/mirrors/postfix-master/

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