Why don't you configure all stuff internally and ask your provider to relay the e-mails from and to you via "smart relay"?? You will communicate only via smtp and only with your provider, and you can use a nice open-source bundle ( dovecot is mandatory because you wrote on that list :) ) in your LAN. > > > > > > > > > > ?

You need SPF and DKIM for your outgoing email to be accepted. My idea of a secure email server is to use submission port 587. Expose port 25 to the world and aggressively filter all remaining email ports with a firewall. And I mean aggressive. Geographically filter so only countries where youe users reside can send and retrieve email. Block major hosting IP space. How many users will be on the

Many ISPs have very low size limits for the mailbox sizes. The one I am looking at right now does have this problem (unless you pay extra). From what I have

Hello R, Your goal does not sound weird. The most painless way might be to fetch incoming messages from the ISP's IMAP and deliver them to your local dovecot. A shortened fetchmailrc would read: poll remote.server ? user ?, password ? folder 'INBOX' fetchall idle ssl mda "HOME=%T /usr/bin/sudo -u %T /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver" That way your users can create

Is it not possible to set up some internal SMTP server that only relies the e-mails to the external ISP SMTP server? The internal SMTP server would then act like a normal user's Thunderbird. At first I tought that the internal

> What you are looking for would be a very advanced setup > [...] I don't think so. But we'll see! I would be happy to take a pre-packaged mail server solution like iRedMail which includes RoundCube or whatever. I just need a "easy", practical guide to reconfigure it to 1) download e-mails from a multidrop, and 2) relay external e-mail to the ISP's SMTP server.

Hi all: I am new to e-mail servers and I am evaluating Dovecot. Not really the best combination. 8-) I am trying to find a balance between legal data retention requirements and online mailbox size. I do not want huge online mailboxes, as doing offline, rotating data backups could then take forever (among other reasons). I would rather avoid online (cloud) backups (data protection etc.). If I

Hi all, Sorry if this is out of place, but I've seen people suggesting future functionality for Dovecot on here before. TBH I'm not completely sure if this would be possible in a LDA. Demon (an ISP) have extensions to POP3 they call "SDPS" - there's basically an extra command that can be called for an email and it gives the envelope rcpt and from addresses. I was

I am inquiring about how to setup a proper SPF record. I know there are SPF wizards/generators available but each seem to have a different "opinion" of what should be included and what should not be included. Let me give you a scenario of my setup, and hopefully someone can help me out. My domain is: test.com My mailserver hostname is: mail.host.com which also has a MATCHING PTR
