I've found many links on how to setup a Linux mail server. Ideally I would like to see something as easy to administer as Stalker's Communigate Pro. There seems to be a million different ways. The most straightforward guides I found were the following:
Ideally I would like to use:
- Postfix
- Dovecot IMAP/POP3
- MySQL authentication
- Mailscanner (for SpamAssassin and ClamAV)
I have not found a howto for this specific setup.
Installation on CentOS 4.0
Install packages:
yum install postfix dovecot cyrus-sasl cyrus-sasl-gssapi cyrus-sasl-md5 cyrus-sasl-plain cyrus-sasl-devel
Enable protocols pop3 and pop3s for Dovecot. Also setup maildir. In
/etc/dovecot.conf:
protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s
default_mail_env = maildir:~/Maildir
Change
/etc/sysconfig/saslauthd:
MECH=pam
Select postfix as MTA:
alternatives --config mta
Configure Postfix as described
here. Add the following for maildir setup in
/etc/postfix/main.cf:
home_mailbox = Maildir/
Configure startup:
chkconfig dovecot on
chkconfig postfix on
chkconfig saslauthd on
service saslauthd start
service dovecot start
service postfix start
