I recently bought my own domain name and have started working on my website. I am way excited about setting this site up. My question is, what would be the best way to setup an email system where users are able to login and check their email...I guess like, a web-based system? Then they can configure a client if they wish with their email address.
View 6 RepliesI will be getting an old and decrepit laptop (the PS2 channel went out). I have decided that I would like to set it up to be an email and minor data server. The only problem exists that I have never setup a server, yet alone a linux server before.
I want the server to allow user authenticated access to a certain folder on the machine where other clients can go and copy and paste files for the data server portions and I want it to download emails from multiple domains (Gmail, a Microsoft Exchange Server, and from a private domain) and then allow other clients to log in and download those messages (I would like to keep each domain's emails separate so the client has to specify which domain's emails to download).
Does anyone know how to go about setting up a secure IMAP email server that is able to be accessed from outside the network? Similar to how you can access your google email account from your computer using Thunderbird.

I'm hoping its the right place to ask the question: I have Fedora 8 server acting as a web server. It is a VM hosted at Amazon. I'm trying to use their SES service and using their ses-send-email.pl file to send a mail.I'm getting the following error: "Can't locate Digest/SHA.pm in @INC" I tried installing the Digest-SHA module but I'm not sure how to do it. All manuals and how-to's I found looks like they are intend for development servers not production (meaning I found myself installing alot of packages not sure they are all necessary). What should I install (and how) in order to make it work?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have recently setup a new mail server and have simulated sending and receiving on the new email server. The new email server will replace the primary one.I would like to setup the new email server in parallel with the existing one.This way i can observe issues that might occur and be aware of what could go wrong. I want to received mail to be delivered to both mail servers at the same time.I would like to use postfix, exim i find a bit to difficult to understand.I have thought of using transport maps, the only problem is that you can only forward mail to one server at a time using transport maps.I think recipient_bcc_maps and sender_bcc_maps could work, i would just like ideas of how i can do this.

I started doing a tutorial that had me install dovecot, and now I have dovecot running but I can't connect at all.Does anyone know of a simple way to get email up and running? It seems like it should be easier than the 14 step tutorials I was finding on Google.Also, should I leave dovecot or try and remove it?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI would like to be able to have email sent directly to my computer at home (i.e. run some kind of mail server on it) instead of having to rely on Gmail, Yahoo or someone else. From what I've read it should be possible, but most of the guides out there seem to be oriented to enterprise-class setups, or at the very least a small business, and I think that a lot of that would be overkill for just getting my personal mail. The minimum *I think* is
- register a domain name, with the DNS pointing to my public IP (which is dynamic, so one question I have is whether I would have to use DynDNS or is DNS at any registrar going to be flexible enough to modify if/when my IP changes?)- something about MX records (I'm really unsure here, what exactly are these and where do I set them up? I don't think a free DynDNS account lets one handle this, does someone know which of their account types supports setting this up?)
- Install sendmail and postfix (which seems like a PITA, but much documentation appears to be available)
- Profit?
I am thinking about buying a domain name and hosting my web server.
I have seen pricing from $8 to $30 a year. Any favorites from fellow ubunters? Also this whole "whois" thing scares me, if I am correct my information I enter when buying the domain is enter into some big pool of information. People can find this information out and dig up important information. url Can I prevent this with private Whois or how do I set it up? This website examples some of my fears with this whole WhoIs thing, url whois/Private-Whois.html Does most/all domain registers come with email or just email forwarding or both? How does that work? At this moment, my only question about Web Hosting is how do I get Website Statistics as in: Stats, web analytics, web traffic stats and more? I will be web hosting through Ubuntu 9.10 gnome.

However only on already installed,configured and working servers.I am trying to setup an email server from scratch.I have Centos 5.4 installed.
procmail.x86_64 3.22-17.1.el5.centos installed
sendmail.x86_64 8.13.8-2.el5 installed
Are those two packages the only ones I need to get a working email server setup? Also I have been trying to configure a procmailrc file for my server under /etc/, but I can't seem to find consistent documentation on how to set up a procmailrc file.I believe my iptables is set to block port 110 and 25 from outside connections. how to open those ports too.
I'm confused about the sendmail/ssl combination. so confused, i'm not even sure what i'm confused about :) I want to have email sent from our server to the rest of the world in a 'secure' manner.

I am setting up a new email server by following the Flurdy guide. I can send but I can't receive. I can telnet in with both the IP address & telnet mail.domain.com 25 I'm not using or loading shorewall because I will be relying on the firewall that is in the router. I have been following the test section of the flurdy tutorial. I am tailing the mail.log file and only see the status as being different from the example
"status=bounced (mail for domain.com loops back to myself)"
It seems like it is getting through to the server but then getting rejected.
I'm running a server with Ubuntu Natty x64 and I want to get email notifications from the server sent to my gmail. What is the best way to set this up? I was looking at this LINK but I wasn't sure if this was the best way to go about this.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently setup a server running subversion. It is working well and all, but I am curious as to how to make it send out email alerts to my team when a commit occurs.Also, are their any good GUI tools to manage a subversion server in Ubuntu. The command line is fine since I made some scripts but a nice GUI would be great! Maybe that could be a fun project to work on.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an environment of roughly 30 machines that all have ssmtp installed with identical config files. I also have logwatch installed on all of them, and it runs nightly as it is supposed to. The problem is that any given night, a random number of machines do not send out the resulting email from logwatch but instead dump it to ~/dead.letter. The number of failures changes every night, but most of the time it is between 20 and 30 of my servers.

I've got a hankering to upgrade my home PBX from Trixbox on CentOS to SipXecs on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
The current Trixbox setup is running on a Gigabyte G33M-S2 with 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 duo (There ain't no kill, like overkill). My needs are... ahem... modest, to say the least. The user base is currently five (5) people (all family members)... and would never grow beyond 10.
So, the Intel Atom D525 looks like I could cut down on power consumption. I'm thinking of going with the Gigabyte version found here [url]
If it works out well, I'm thinking of moving my email server (currently on Qmail, and showing its age) to a D525 board, and switching to Postfix.
Has anyone had any thoughts, experiences (good or bad), and/or "gotchas" with the Atom boards as a server (no gui).
I have been trying to solve this problem for two days now looking at various forums and websites but can't really figure out what's going on here.I have setup postfix on my ubuntu and I can send emails using "telnet localhost 25" and the ehlo thingy. Apache can also send emails. My problem is with incoming emails. When I try to send an email (through Gmail) I get the following error message:
Code:
Delivery to the following recipient has been delayed:
root@example.com
[code]...
I have an email setup where all of the emails from our email host is downloaded to our Linux server using Fetchmail. Then some of the incoming emails are sent to an MS exchange server (server1.domain.com) using Postfix. What i want to do is to send a copy of all emails to Another server (server2.domain.com) for redundancy.Can postfix be configured to send copies out to both?

I have a server on my home network. It's currently running a DNS server (bind9) and an HTTP caching server (squid).What I would like to do is redirect all outgoing port 80 connections to the squid server and also make the server responsible for managing DHCP on the network.
Do I just need to install a DHCP daemon on the server, disable it on the router, then set my server as the default gateway and configure iptables to route all connections like I want? Or is it more complicated than that? Also, would that mean that all communication between two computers on the network will go through the server?
Am having trouble setting up a localhost DaviCal server. I've followed the directions here: [url]
And everything seems to be working, but when I go to: [url]
I get the "Not Found" page. How do I tweak this to use it locally from my computer? Have searched and tried to follow various tutorials, but no luck.
What I'm trying to do is setup a CalDav server locally on my computer so I can interface Thunderbird with it. The reason being then I can sync my Android phone with the CalDav server on my computer, thus syncing my Thunderbird calendar with it. Android is great, but currently the only ways to sync your calendar is to go through google's servers (not interested) or use the new CalDav sync software from the market... which is what I'm trying to do.
To setting up the mail server for my site. The situation is such that it is necessary to allow access through the site (built under LAMP) to the mail server. Ligament postfix + dovecot good option? or who have a similar configs mail server.

I already have an always on headless Linux server running Ubuntu Server 9.04 (no GUI installed), so does anyone know of software and hardware that'll work with my setup to enable one of the analog lines in my home to work with Skype?
Also it seems most of the USB to Phone adapters are being discontinued and Skype doesn't even list any on their site. Do you guys know if they're phasing these devices out?
I can't seem to connect to it when using windows 7. Both are in the same workgroup (W0RKGR0UP) and I have set DHCP address for the ubuntu box. Is there any other thing that I would still need to edit ? My router address is 192.168.0.1 and the fixed ip for ubuntu box is 192.168.0.103.
