Network
Set up networking in /etc/network/interfaces
# The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface allow-hotplug eth0 #auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.0.112 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.0.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255 # gateway 192.168.0.1 dns-nameservers 213.75.63.36 213.75.63.70 192.168.0.1 # dns-nameservers 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.2 # dns-search tripnet.int internal.tripnet.int ops.tripnet.int auto eth1 iface eth1 inet static address 188.204.140.195 netmask 255.255.255.224 network 188.204.140.192 broadcast 188.204.140.223 gateway 188.204.140.193 dns-nameservers 213.75.63.36 213.75.63.70 192.168.0.1
Postfix and Procmail
First install Postfix
Spamassassin
Then install Spamassassin
Dovecot
Check the following is set, or dovecot won't let people POP / IMAP in
protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s
We need to set it to listen on all interfaces, so uncomment
listen = *
Because we're allowing plaintext auth we need to change
disable_plaintext_auth = no
To set Dovecot to save files in Maildir format and then also use directories to store folders (instead of foldername.mail in one big folder), set NB the documentation says you should use an extra :layout=fs but that breaks just about everything and this way everything is put into subfolders starting with .
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir
Ensure the following is set for performance
maildir_copy_with_hardlinks = yes
Because we're using NFS for mail storage we need to check:
mmap_disable = yes dotlock_use_excl = yes # MUST CHECK THIS ONE mail_nfs_storage = yes mail_nfs_index = yes
Logging:
log_path = /var/log/mail/dovecot.err info_log_path = /var/log/mail/dovecot.info
touch /var/log/mail/dovecot.err touch /var/log/mail/dovecot.info
in /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog add
/var/log/mail/dovecot.err /var/log/mail/dovecot.info
to the rest of the mail lines
Create a maildir for www-data manually (dovecot has no permissions to create in /var/www)
mkdir /var/www/Maildir chown www-data /var/www/Maildir
To test:
mutt -f imap://username@localhost mutt -f pop://username@localhost or to open a user's maildir: mutt -m maildir -f ~user/Maildir
Roundcube webmail
We're going to get the backport version as it's much much better
so in /etc/apt/sources.list add
deb http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports squeeze-backports main
and to install
apt-get -t squeeze-backports install roundcube roundcube-mysql roundcube-plugins roundcube-plugins-extra
You will need mysql-server, apache2 and php5 as well.
then in /etc/roundcube/apache.conf
uncomment: Alias /roundcube/program/js/tiny_mce/ /usr/share/tinymce/www/ Alias /roundcube /var/lib/roundcube
in /etc/roundcube/main.inc.php change
$rcmail_config['htmleditor'] = 0; to 1 $rcmail_config['preview_pane'] = 0; to 1 $rcmail_config['default_host'] = '127.0.0.1'; $rcmail_config['language'] = 'nl_NL'; $rcmail_config['plugins'] = array(virtuser_file);
All the way at the bottom
$rcmail_config['virtuser_file'] = '/etc/postfix/virtual';
$rcmail_config['smtp_server'] = 'localhost';
$rcmail_config['smtp_user'] = '%u';
$rcmail_config['smtp_pass'] = '%p';
NB. when testing, you may need to delete the users from the database to check if certain settings are being set before logging in.
Converting from mbox to maildir
Because we want the system to support IMAP functionality fully, there are some changes to to be made which will be documented further. For now, look at Converting from mbox to maildir
