Email Server Setup

[TPerry]

why bother, have better things to do with my time than deal with emails - free and easy

Because you have fun with your CentMin Mod scripts and some of us have fun battling the email server dragons!

IMO over the next year or so there are going to be a lot more options for hosting your own email. It seems that there are a lot of good scripts out there that are just shy of being production ready or are missing a few features.

Like I don't think even MiaB supports SNI for mail services like cPanel does.

Don't forget e-mail piping!

Yes .. time spent not dealing with emails = more time focusing on Centmin Mod LEMP development - multiple PHP-FPM pools anyone ?

Took you long enough

Took you long enough

was already in play 10 months ago https://community.centminmod.com/threads/multiple-php-fpm-pools-generator-script-testing.1000/ for a more automated version for Centmin Mod Premium members heh

Dovecot, Postfix, PostFixAdmin,Roundcube.. works rather well is configured for virtual users and virtual domains.
Running on a CentOS box.

BTW, @Sheratan, @TJA has it working on his setup. Not going to comment on the new works I learned though.

Roundcube and Horde, both failed to me. I guess my security settings are too "paranoid"

Well, I'm the only person who use email so...

what about their security bothered you?

Nothing, just some of the function they need to make "change password" working are disabled by me and I dont have any desire to enable it. I can enable it without any problem but I just dont want

One more question about MiaB... (I gave it a go on a VPS and I was really impressed but I destroyed it before I remembered to check) Does it allow SNI for mail services? For example allowing encrypted SMTP with SSL certificate on multiple domains with a single IP?

Must better to ask here: Mail-in-a-Box Users-Helping-Users

Well, JoshData replied and it's not possible since postfix does not support it

 

[TPerry]

Is there a specific reason you need SNI for it? What is the scenario that is causing you to require it?

 

[eberkund]

Just so that each email domain can connect to the mail server using the same domain securely. I know that this isn't necessary because I can use one domain but it is pretty much just for appearances.

Ex.

example@domain1.com --> mail.domain1.com (SSL)
example@domain2.com --> mail.domain2.com (SSL)

 

[TPerry]

I believe Exim supports it.. seems like a bit of overkill to me, and from what I read really serves no useful purpose.
Exim + SNI, did anyone get it to work?

 

[eberkund]

Yeah, I might just abandon this goal since it seems to be more trouble than it is worth at the moment. I know cPanel supports it, I am not sure for which mail server but Postfix does not.

Think Exim is used with cPanel - but don't take that as gospel since I hate the thing.

Hehehehe... got it working well enough for me to use to do this for the site (VIP access only to forum email using the domain username @ thebent.bike format.
Was going to do it a while ago but kept putting it off since I don't have a lot of users - did it for another person and figure might as well break down and do mine also.

 

[eberkund]

Wow, that is really cool. Does it tie into the forum database or are you creating each account manually?

Currently have to create each account manually. It probably would not be hard to create a bridge, but I don't want every user that signs up to get it. There is a participation requirement before you earn the right to the webmail ability. If you aren't a member of that group, you don't even see the tab.
