This time we will create a Mail Server with Ubuntu 9.10

Postfix is a mail sender program instead of sendmail.
Postfix is a free and open-source mail transfer agent (MTA) That routes and delivers electronic mail.
It is intended as a fast, Easier-to-administer, and secure alternative to the widely-used Sendmail MTA. ( wiki )
Dovecot is an open source IMAP and POP3 server for Linux / UNIX-like systems, written primarily with security in mind. Developed by Timo Sirainen, Dovecot was first released in July 2002. Dovecot primarily AIMS to be a lightweight, fast and easy to set up an open source mailserver. ( wiki )
1. Preparation system for Ubuntu 9.10
So that later it would not have broken the system was installed ubuntu baek to build essential
sudo apt-get install build-essential
2. Install the main file
sudo apt-get install postfix postfix-mSQL php5-imap dovecot-pop3d dovecot-imapdapache2 php5-mysql squirrelmail
3. System checks whether the apache2 postfix and dovecot ny already exist yet disystem
apache2 service status & & service postfix status & & service dovecot status4. Create Database For Postfix
root @ kaitokid: ~ # mysql-u root-p / /-p mysql passwd enter its mysql> create database postfix; mysql> grant all privileges on postfix .* to 'postfix' @ 'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'postfixpassword'; mysql> grant all privileges on postfix .* to 'postfix' @ '127 .0.0.1 'IDENTIFIED BY 'postfixpassword'; mysql> exit / / Replace 'postfixpasswd' corresponding password in want & 'postfix' according to the user that chill
5. Download postfixadmin to simplify the administration of mail
http://sourceforge.net/projects/postfixadmin/ 6. Extract the downloaded postfixadmin and move it to / var / www
root @ kaitokid: ~ # cd / var / www / root @ kaitokid: / var / www # tar xzf / home/kaitokid/postfixadmin-2 .**. kaitokid tar.gz root @: / var / www # mv-postfixadmin 2 .** / postfix root @ kaitokid: / var / www # chown-R www-data.www-data / var / www 7. Setup config.inc.php postfixadmin
root @ kaitokid: ~ # nano / var / www / postfix / config.inc.php/ / Database Config / / Mysql = MySQL 3.23 and 4.0 / / Mysqli = MySQL 4.1 / / Pgsql = PostgreSQL $ CONF ['database_type'] = 'mysqli'; / / customize it to mysql sql dg series 4 and above use mysqli $ CONF ['database_host'] = 'localhost'; $ CONF ['database_user'] = 'postfix'; / / user database in mysql see number 4 $ CONF ['database_password'] = 'postfixpassword'; / / user database mysql see number 4 $ CONF ['database_name'] = 'postfix'; $ CONF ['database_prefix'] =''; / / default is empty
8. Setup postfix admin
open your web browser firefox and then open the URLhttp://127.0.0.1/postfix/setup.php
/ / Installation time to ensure that no errors & to ppostfixadmin series 2.3 setup files do not need to be removed
/ / Make sure the web server on the computer already road
9. MySQL Postfix Configuration
/ / Configuration of user & passwd in keeping with the number 4nano / etc / postfix / mysql_virtual_alias_maps.cf user = postfix password = postfixpassword hosts = 127.0.0.1 dbname = postfix table = alias select_field = goto where_field = address
nano / etc / postfix / mysql_virtual_mailbox_maps.cf user = postfix password = postfixpassword hosts = 127.0.0.1 dbname = postfix table = mailbox select_field = maildir where_field = username # Additional_conditions = and active = '1 '

Configuring Dovecot POP3 and IMAP4
nano / etc / dovecot / dovecot.conf protocols = imap pop3 disable_plaintext_auth = no default_mail_env = maildir: / home / vmail /% u / first_valid_uid = 5000 first_valid_gid = 5000 # SQL database passdb sql { # Path for SQL configuration file args = / etc / dovecot / dovecot-sql.conf } # SQL database userDB sql { # Path for SQL configuration file args = / etc / dovecot / dovecot-sql.conf }
nano / etc / dovecot / dovecot-sql.conf driver = mysql connect = host = 127.0.0.1 dbname = postfix user = postfix password = postfixpassword default_pass_scheme = CRYPT USER_QUERY = SELECT maildir, 5000 AS uid, 5000 AS gid FROM mailbox WHERE username = '% u' password_query = SELECT password FROM mailbox WHERE username = '% u'ok till here first mailing and happy happy ubuntu
