Hello good folks of Debian Together with 3 other admins I'm in the process of moving a Danish forum for Linux to a VPS since standard hosting is becomming to slow. The VPS (offcourse) runs Debian stable, and the last task which needs doing is getting a mailserver to work.
It's primary function will be to serve the phpBB forum and in some small degree the staff of the forum, but only in relation to the forum, so we only need something like 15 - 20 adresses and some aliases (abuse, contact etc). But to be honest we are all stunned at the complexity and have failed once. This is therefore the second go at this, and we hoped for some help this time around :) What we would like is a server running RoundCube as webmail, Dovecot as IMAP/POP3 and Postfix as MTA with encryption and antispam of some sorts. We are more than open to suggetions on what programs to use, but would preferre it if RoundCube would remian since some of us knows it. We are also considering PostFixAdmin. The rest of the criteria is simple: * Program/s must be in stable repo * Should be as easy as possible to set up and maintain We already have a complete LAMP-installation for the forum, so it would be best if the solution could use apache2, MySQL and PHP5. Some of the questions that comes to mind when working with this is what kind of users is best (read easy and safe) to use (system users or virtual users in the databse)? Also, is there any complete solutions in the stable repo we could use, or is it best to use Postfix, Dovecot and so on? And lastly, how does one test the mailserver without a domain name or MX record? For obvius reasons we can't move the domain name before the VPS works. Any comments on this will be a great help.
