    Postfix, yes. PostfixAdmin as a GUI, yes.

  • aglodekaglodek Member

    Postfix + Virtualmin as GUI/CP.

  • SilvengaSilvenga Member

    Postfix - didn't know there was a GUI.

    Zimbra - which uses postfix internally.

    Not in Postfix, no. PostfixAdmin is a separate app, so is Virtualmin, of course. I went with Virtualmin because: 1) it installs and sets the whole MX up for you and 2) it works with text files, so no need for a MySQL back end.

    Postfix + Webmin

  • Lm85H4gFkh3wk3Lm85H4gFkh3wk3 Member

    Postfix+Dovecot+Spamassassin+Hastymail2 as a Webmail GUI. No configuration frontend.

  • natestammnatestamm Member

    Exim w Roundcube

  • tarasistarasis Member

    Previously: Exim + Spamassassin + Horde (Webmail + a couple of other bits)

    Current: Postfix (PostfixAdmin for adding mailboxes) + Dovecot + Dspam + Clamav + Greylisting + Roundcube for webmail (which I don't use often)

    Soon to be: Not sure ... probably Postfix + Dovecot + Roundcube again. Not sure about the other bits. Not a huge fan of Spamassassin or DSPAM (esp as its a largely dead project, and currently failing after working well for a year odd).

    Axigen/postfix (w postfixadmin + roundcube)

    Since then, I've moved to mxroute/zoho to reduce the amount of work that goes into maintenance.

    Cheers for mentioning MXRoute, didn't know about them. I should go that route, I really should, but I'm not quite trusting enough; I'd rather be the one holding the keys to my email. Though $15 a year is pittance ...

    MXRoute is great. The service itself is solid -- 'Set it and forget it,' as the old Ronco commercials used to say -- and @Jar is probably one of the most trustworthy people on the forum.

    • 2×Postfix* (as MTA)
    • 2×Dovecot* (as MDA and IMAP server, with master-master replication)
    • 2×Rainloop (webmailer, replicated via GlusterFS)

    Redundancy FTW!

    * Configured via the config files, of course. ;)

    I should probably set up SpamAssassin eventually, but I couldn't be bothered yet. My Sieve rules are doing the job reasonably well so far.

    Postfix + Dovecot. Didn't even know there is a GUI for them, why would you need one? :)

    Convenience. As much as I enjoy the power feeling shell gives you, keeping track of things and making mundane changes in text files using the likes of nano or even WinSCP is much less fun. Enter Virtualmin. Login, select host, select/add/modify/remove mailbox. And another and another, if need be. Click, click, all done in under 30 seconds to a minute at the outside ;)

    Not to mention the option of mailbox users to change stuff by themselves - passwords, email forwarding, vacation messages and what not...

    I was using SmarterMail, now I'm using Google Apps, and I'm currently setting up Open-Xchange. I like Microsoft Exchange alternatives, idk why :-)

    I've used appsuite before and it's really nice, though it was on top of my current mail server setup. Does OX have its own mail server system or do you always have to have it on top of postfix and dovecot like setup?

  • cassacassa Member

    Install is done :D

    Nope, it doesn't have a mailserver included.
