Hi Rod, what OS are you using? the one Markus showed is good for debian as its design is based on debian, but there is another one for using other distros, much more generic so its best for slackware and centos etc at http://kb.ausics.net/pf.php

Thanks. 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.

Hi,

I set up my Services using this howto:

Thanks Markus. This looks very promising. Between an example I received and what I've done so far hopefully I'll have it today.

The interesting issue right now is I think I've got my firewall in a knot. I can't even telnet to the mail server port. So I can't even test if what I've got so far is any where near good. !#$%

BR,

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
