Anyone know of a /complete/ step-by-step HOWTO for setting up a system using Postfix, Dovecot, and Deliver? I'm looking to put a new mail server together that will host three domains with pretty low volumes of email. Later adding three or four more for some non-profits that I host. I'm finding my self skipping all around the Postfix and Dovecot sites trying to come up with this setup. I have set up Postfix in several different configurations: inbound spool, outbound SMTP, regular mail server, etc. And with Dovecot I was lucky as it ran for me pretty much out of the box. Of course that was on a single domain mail server. (Not to mention it is a really old version.) Since it went up I've added a couple of domains to my personal collection and rather than add a new mail server for each I thought I'd go the virtual route. Anyone have a complete set of example .conf files they could share? main.cf, master.cf dovecot.conf Isn't it about time for a Dovecot book? TIA, Rod --

My favorite system admin tool is vi. :-) I did find a pretty good one (http://neranjara.org/tutorials/?tid=56) but he does some pretty good skips that leave me with questions. I think I have it up a working but need to do some testing. Rod --> Fred > > > On Wed, 2008-10-01 at 13:04 -0700, Roderick A.

Hi, I set up my Services using this howto: http://workaround.org/articles/ispmail-etch/ BR, Markus> Anyone know of a /complete/ step-by-step HOWTO for setting up a system > using Postfix, Dovecot, and Deliver?

Some more interesting takes on the process. Right now I'm fighting Postfix and TLS. Mostly missing (never generated) files. Turned off TLS and now I'm getting a dovecot-deliver.log file error from Postfix. Oh well. I'll keep on plugging at it. Rod --> > > > On 02/10/08 23:23:06, Roderick A.
