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

www.howtoforge.com has some great how-tos on there.



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.
