I have setup up a Centos system to be used as a server by our group.
Because of our age etc., the question of how to administer the system,
what tools are needed, what are available.
Part of the problem is that should the current admin have to be replaced
it is exceedingly unlikely that they will be able to offer any guidance
to their replacement or answer questions about the current setup about it.
1) how much administration does postfix actually need once its setup?
From what I have seen so far, with our previous Fedora Postfix setup
and the new Centos one, that once the initial configuration is done
Postfix requires very little tweaking or am I missing something?
We have thought of using a ldap service for the group address list and I
think that could be used for various maps/list need by postfix which we
think will reduce the maintenance effort. I am currently reading up on
how to do this, pointers welcome.
2) Webmin and its addons, for postfix administration - good, bad or blah?
3) We currently have all our members configured as virtual users with
all their email stored as maildir stores under /var/mail/example.com. We
are considering giving each member a personal space, probably under
/home (there would be no local login allowed. If we decide to go in this
direction would it be a "good" idea to store the mail in a maildir under
the individual user /home directory?
TIA
