Thanks Fred. Some look interesting.

Too bad so many are using a web/GUI interface to get it running.

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.

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
