Add key, you can replace your key, I used this "61270A939E324B12" and update.

Add mount option 'acl' in /etc/fstab
which contains '/etc/' directory if it doesn't there yet. Copy it as a new line, and comment the old one, add 'acl' like below.

# /dev/sda1
UUID=63b655fe-5959-46bc-b9db-09ad2d746b78 /               ext3    relatime,errors=remount-ro 0       1

Note: It seems you don't need to add this 'acl' option in /etc/fstab if you use VPS which hosted by OpenVZ, because you can't edit /etc/fstab file, and it already supports acl.

Remount the mount point which contains '/etc/' directory. e.g. '/':

root@iredmail:/var/tmp/iRedMail-0.5.0# mount -o remount,rw,acl /

Download the package " iRedMail-0.5.0.tar.bz2 " from
http://code.google.com/p/iredmail/downloads/list
and move it to /var/tmp directory.
#cd /var/tmp
#tar -xvf iRedMail-0.5.0.tar.bz2
#cd iRedMail-0.5.0/pkgs

Run the script get_all.sh

This will fetch the required packages from source, please make sure that your Internet is working ok.
