Take a look at this presentation by Scott Courtney:

http://www.sinenomine.net/publications/conferences/2005/email

It describes a massively scalable (the design point was 10 million
mailboxes) mail system configuration that works well for this kind of
thing. It offers shared mailboxes, high delivery rates, spam filtering,
and a nice control panel interface with instrumentation for flow rates,
etc. There would be no problem to update this design for SLES 10 or 11;
all the components are there.


You could also run real Exchange using the Windows Enabler code we wrote
(assuming you can get Windows CALs for it). Offlist if you want to
discuss.

Postfix is an MTA (Mail Transfer Agent), not a mail delivery agent.  I'm not 
sure what you mean by "shared mailboxes."  SLES comes with the cyrus-imapd, 
qpopper and imap packages, which provide an IMAP4, POP2 and POP3 email servers. 
 People who are using MS Outlook on their desktop would be able to access those 
with no problem.

Re: Open Xchange

2011-06-16 Thread Berry van Sleeuwen

I agree. The primary goal is to have mailboxes, especially shared
mailboxes, that users can connect to. At least in this stage calendars,
contacts and such are not required since that is running within our
regular (windows) exchange server environment. But as the project
manager stated, he wanted exchange on zlinux. Perhaps just a word,
exchange instead of mailserver just because he is used to the word
exchange (just like OS=windows, sigh). OTOH, it would be nice if we
could provide full exchange functionality.

So if we can make an exchange replacement happen it would be nice. But
if that proves to be too much at one time (or not possible at all) just
a mailserver for shared mailboxes would be good for now too. Any
thoughts on how to proceed here? Is a regular mailserver (postfix?)
capable of providing shared mailboxes?

Regards, Berry.

YOU MAY be well served by a combination of standard servers for email,

stock packages (programs you possibly already installed).

This approach has pros and cons.  Just a thought.

Hi Mark,

I did find that post and indeed it worries me that it looks like a
silent forum. We would like to setup a exchange-like server with more or

solution for this on zLinux.

We have loaded mod_proxy_ajp according to the install instructions, but
perhaps I should verify it's correct function.

Thanks, Berry.

 From the documentation it appears that the magic happens in the

Installation and Administration guide.

Based on that and other forum entries for open-xchange, it doesn't look
like anyone who works for the company monitors the forums.  Probably not a
good sign.

Open Xchange

2011-06-16 Thread van Sleeuwen, Berry
Hi Listers,

We are looking at installing Openxchange in an SLES11 guest. Has anyone tried 
this before? I tried to find the requirements for the installation but it looks 
like they assume SLES10 or SLES11 would be sufficient to mention. The rpm-s 
installed without any problems (using Yast).

When we start the webinterface the errorlog in apache shows: "File does not 
exist: /srv/www/htdocs/ajax, ". The installguide does show the ajax-gui package 
to be installed on all frontend servers. But in SLES I can't find any reference 
to ajax so I don't know what to install in this case as well as if it would 
really be required for OX to function properly.
