Software :: Install - Configure And Run Mail Server On Debian
Aug 7, 2010
I want to install configure and run my own mail server in my debain box, but I don't know which programs to install(This is my first mail server installation). I found on internet some how-tos for install postfix-dovecot-squirrel mail, but I am not sure that I want dovecot(I prefer courier email server if it is the same).
As I understand I need
smtp mail server -> postfix Mail Transfer Agent
imap and pop3 -> dovecot / courier email server?
webapplication -> squirrel mail
For squirrel mail I am sure that i will install it(I used it on other server and I like it), but don't know for other parts. I read that postfix is good choice, but what other options I have for dovecot?
I will be relocating to a permanent residence sometime in the next year or two. I've recently begun thinking about the best way to implement a home-based network. It occurred to me that the most elegant solution might be the use of VM technology to eliminate as much hardware and wiring as possible.My thinking is this: Install a multi-core system and configure it to run several VMs, one each for a firewall, a caching proxy server, a mail server, a web server. Additionally, I would like to run 2-4 VMs as remote (RDP)workstations, using diskless workstations to boot the VMs over powerline ethernet.The latest powerline technology (available later this year) will allow multiple devices on a residential circuit operating at near gigabit speed, just like legacy wired networks.
In theory, the above would allow me to consolidate everything but the disklessworkstations on a single server and eliminate all wired (and wireless) connections except the broadband connection to the Internet and the cabling to the nearest power outlets. It appears technically possible, but I'm not sure about the various virtual connections among VMs. In theory, each VM should be able to communicate with the other as if it was on the same network via the server data bus, but what about setting up firewall zones? Any internal I/O bandwidth bottlenecks? Any other potential "gotchas", caveats, issues? (Other than the obvious requirement of having enough CPU and RAM).Any thoughts or observations welcome, especially if they are from real world experience in a VM environment. BTW--in case you're wondering why I'm posting here, it's because I run Debian on all my workstations/servers (running VirtualBox as a VM for Windows XP on one workstation).
Two exchange servers internally. One is setup for example.com (192.168.1.10) and the other is setup for example2.com (192.168.1.20) Both are behind a single public IP.
I want to use postfix to sit in front of the two exchange servers. Postfix will accept mail for both domains and relay to the appropriate server. I have postfix installed with only defaults at this point.
I'm running SUSE linux Server version 11. I want to configure mail server with postfix & cyrus-imap. For that, i have read many documents in Internet by i met issues. I'm running DNS in this server & it's ok Now I cannont send mail through command line.
i need to install a mail server with the following requirements: smtp, imap, web administration interface (users management to be done by a non-specialist) and ... to be easy enough to install/implement on debian (this is one time deal for me ...)
i used until now Xmail, phpxmail and nocc, very easy to install and it was working flawlessly, but unfortunately nocc is a too poor webmail client be cause is based only on pop3 literally the requirement is that on the web[client] mails sent must be saved and from what i see on webmail that only can be done with imap and (this is the big problem) Xmail does not support imap so i cannot install a good webmail client
I have one server at home, connected through a router that gives me a static IP:192.168.1.2 - My PC192.168.1.3 - CentOS serverI enabled the port 80 into router forwarding system and I can connect properly to CentOS server, using the IP my internet provider gives me. My router automatically forwards a changed IP to my dyndns.com account so I can also access the server through a domain name (I pay to have it linked to one of my domains).My next step is to configure the mail server (dovecot) , so I can send emails from my local server(192.168.1.3).I was wondering if anyone has any tutorial links or tips to have the mail server configured through a home internet provider + home router.
I have to configure sendmail to send messages and receiving any mails on a Red hat 7.3 linux server. Can anyone have an idea how to configure sendmail?
I have installed Nagios 3 on CentOS 5.2. Everything is running. It is monitoring 10 machines and 60 services for now. Now I want email notifications for the critical alerts from Nagios. I am already having one mail server (Qmail) running on different machine and I want to use its reference to send alerts to my network.
I already have a web server with apache 2, ftp, phpmyadmin, ispconfig2, running on internet. I use dyndns service to have the server on internet. Now I am trying to setup and configure a mail server base on Postfix With SMTP-AUTH And TLS.The host name is dec1.decom.com the domain name decom.com. The internet URL is URL... .So when I am setting up Postfix I need the System mail name: and Other destinations to accept mail for : here is my question which name do I must use on this configuration. Hostname (dec1.deccom.com) or URL.
We run a service in which a customer types in a form and gets a confirmation email after submitting the form. We are on a server with no control panel. We are running CentOS 5.
When we did our testing sendmail sent mails just fine and I was able to receive them. After we went live we found that 75% of our emails are being rejected by other mail servers. Doing research is seems that the headers indicate the emails are coming from 127.0.0.1.
We need to correct this problem, as well as do everything we can to reduce the risk of our mails being marked as spam. We do not receive mail on this server, but rather send mail. We have another email server on another server for receiving mail for our domain, which is already configured with cPanel (which doesn't have a problem).
We can not use cPanel on this server because of certain security restrictions.
I know that sendmail is cryptic to configure. We are willing to switch to Exim if necessary.
As far as installing Exim, I understand it's as easy as:

I want you help me to configure the Zimbra mail server. I want install system mail server Zimbra, about 8000 user then How configure server ?( RAM, CPU, HDD) (account email 100MB - 300MB). forward to the help from everyone and Administrator Linux
i basically had this system installed for our mail system.The setup is as follows:
1. Operating system installed is Debian ver. 5.0.3
2. Roundcube is installed as a webmail(if its right for me to say that)
3. The server is hosted right here at our offices
4.The server uses relay system to send mail i.e. relays all our mails to our ISP
That all i can say about the configurations becuase thats as much as i understand it.The problem now is that we are not able to send or recieve emails from both internal and external.I tried to send mail to a collegue in the office who is on our local LAN,Roundcube says sent successfully but the person does not recieve the mail.i tried to send to my yahoo address but nothing.I dont know where these mails have been trapped.
Planning to put a bugzilla server for bug reporting at our office. I have loaded and configured bugzilla on one of our machines running CentOS5.4. And there is another machine on CentOS5.4 that is running Zimbra community edition. Both are distinct machines. Zimbra is running fine and so is Bugzilla. I want bugzilla to use this Zimbra server to send mails so that I can use this internal mail server for my purpose. This is the first time I am putting up bugzilla and have never worked on it but documentation helped. But I could not find any reference on how to do this?
I have a LAMP server and need a web page to send email messages. I could do it with my Win 2k server through my cable service but can't seem to get it to work here.
Probably because I don't know what to put in some of the fields.So; all I want to do is to run my own e-mail server for my business. The network is set up, the web server is running, but I'm having no end of trouble with YAST and the e-mail server.I have a single server running open suse 11.3 32 bit. It is attached to a modem/router. I have a static IP address for my registered domain. The server has a static IP address (192.168.1.8 in this case). My server is NOT running either a DHCP server nor a DNS server - there is no need, since there is nothing else on this box. It has only one network connection - eth0.
I'm trying to set up an e-mail server. I have been unable to get an 'advanced' implementation to work because all attempts to create a suitable server certificate fail. So for now I'll stick with a 'standard' set up.I don't know what I should put in such fields as 'outgoing mail server' (I've assumed I should use the FQDN of my server);I've no idea what 'masquerading' is for or what I should do with it;I don't know what I'm supposed to put in the 'outgoing mail server' in the 'authentication' section;I don't know what to put in the 'downloading' section;and I don't know what 'accept remote SMTP connections' does.I can get the server to start, but any attempt to retrieve e-mail from it ends in an authorisation failure - the syslog shows a sign-on attempt from my 'real' IP address and some form of numeric userid which cannot be found.So, if anyone can tell me what to put in YAST to make it work, I'd be a very happy chap.
Yes, I can telnet to 'my.server.my.domain' 25, so something must be right. But my Linux knowledge is not enough to get it working properly.
I want to configure Postfix mail server to send bulk mails to others domains only but they could not send to me. steps to configure Postfix to send bulk mails and what packages required for it.
I need to install/configure a server (dns, dhcp, etc) and since im running Debian I want to configure a Debian server, but i want to do it on a virtual machine, cause i dont want to have all that stuff on my system, now Im wondering whats the best screen recorder that i can use on Debian for this purpose.
hi any one tell me step of configuration roundcube webmail .... at the moment i am using squirremail . some one says roundcube web mail is batter then squirremail .
1. Webserver (Centos 5.5) 2. Mail server (Centos 5.5)
We have configured autossh successfully to create/manage the ssh tunnel into mail server in order to dump all emails to localhost port.
To auto start autossh in boot time we have included following into /etc/rc.d/rc.local,
Quote:
So whenever our web application wants to send out emails it dump all emails to localhost:33465 port, easy piecy, all are working great
Now we have a requirement that logwatch reports should get delivered via the same ssh tunnel rather than installing postfix and configuring as a relay.
As a part of migration I am proposing different scenarios to my organization. One which is asked to prepare is to configure multiple mail servers to handle incoming and outgoing mails. Say I have -[URL], I need to have accept mails from [URL] and send mail from [URL].
