Greetings all Looking for some assistance on getting a server configured to run mail for a number of clients. They need POP/IMAP (and webmail) access for multiple users on multiple domains. Previously I have used a 'packaged' product where the 'supplier' of the 'packaged solution' would preconfigure the server with their image. This has a number of benefits but also a number of draw backs and have thus decided to look for an alternative..... In the past my mail solution has used Exim as MTA which has an LDAP tree for authentication etc. The interface (control panel) for this LDAP tree is a little java app that is not perfect but does the job nicely. (we build a ssh tunnel to port 389) http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/~gawor/ldap/ The webmail client of choice has been http://www.horde.org/imp/ and uses Spamassin/ClamAV to try and remove some of the junk.... I am looking for comments on how good (or bad?) this way of doing it and if anyone doing this or done so using something similar. How practical is it to try and cobble these components together? I will consider using any combination of components so long as it does the job well..... The other factor is that right now I have very limited time so would like to look to engage some 'hands on' assistance as I do not have any spare time to research and implement - in other words a 'paid' gig. Please contact me off list and we can discuss that further if you can assist me and are available. The server is loaded with Debian and is currently configured with Apache, MySQL and PHP for some simple web site hosting for some of the same clients that need mail. fwiw I do not have physical access the the server as it in in a hosted environment so everything has to be done remotely. All the best Roger
