Documentation: installation instructions

[smfreegard]

There is no mention in the documentation that the redis plugin is required and has to be added to config/plugins:

[ERROR] [BAE873FE-42DA-4CE9-938A-875F8768EE57] [karma] karma requires the redis plugin
[INFO] [BAE873FE-42DA-4CE9-938A-875F8768EE57] [karma] score: 0, good: 0, bad: 4, connections: 11, history: -4

From README.md:

CONFIG See config/karma.ini for options and inline documentation.

The first few lines of karma.ini:

; karma.ini,  see 'haraka -h karma'

; Redis: karma's high speed key/value store for concurrency, IP history,
;        and AS history
[redis]
; host   = 127.0.0.1
; port   = 6379
; db     = 1

PRs welcome.

Huh? - re-read the log line, it emits errors for every connection unless you put redis in config/plugins.

PRs welcome.

Dude - I'm never using this plugin again after today. I just thought you could use some help identifying where this is lacking is all being as I finally installed it.

Oh and bizarrely it works anyway - despite this error in the logs...

Thanks. If you don't mind, I'll save my energy for those with an interest in using the plugin.
