Just curious.. I think most of yall are FreeBSD centric..
Have been toying with the idea (a couple of years ![]() email server to running one on OpenBSD.. What I need - MTA -- postfix - the easy part - IMAP - my linux box uses Cyrus-Imap (maildirs) My knowledge is very limited - Webmail - must support SSL -- Looking a RoundCube - Spam - Filtering - have already enabled Amavisd - SA - OpenBSD spamd - and Razor on 3 of my smtp gateways. I guess I just need the Cyrus and Roundcube parts then.. ![]() any links (helpful ones.. ![]() I have just started my reading on Cyrus (OpenBSD does have packages for these) I will also check the email posts on the old forum.. rk |

I use Dovecot for POP and IMAP, with PostgreSQL as the user authentication backend. I haven't set it up yet, but do plan to use Roundcube. I have some sloppy notes on the setup which i plan to clean up at some point. Let me know if you try Dovecot and run into issues. |

It's off the freeware path ... I run openBSD 4.2 and axigen's mail server, http://www.axigen.com. It's a commercial ware (unless you can live within the 5-user free edition limits).

It's a nice o/s agnostic -- read: openBSD friendly -- web gui administrated post office. pop, imap, web client access. A file system structure that lends itself to simple (agent-less) backup techniques.
Also, the free-edition limit is on "mailboxs," not aliases. You may have many aliases to each mailbox. So those "four for [you]," may possibly be implementable as "one plus three aliases," which is net one (1) mailbox. An example ... john.smith@domain.com -- jsmith --administrator --postmaster Is one mailbox + three aliases.

Oh, and axigen provides 24x7, complementary support via email, support@axigen.com, even for their freeware "customers."

MySQL, Nice write up but I am so MySql retarded.. ![]() The current imap used (which I really like maildirs) is really the only thing I need to learn.. I have used Dovecot in the past and it was very easy to set up.. Once I finally get off my rear.. (maybe this weekend.. ![]() I am going to go through a 4.3 install on my other spare box and set this up.. I am also going to take a look at Axigen.. except they currently don't have a 4.3 version of their product.. I have learned a lot about UNIX since I brought up my first firewall back in 2001 (OpenBSD 3.0) but I still feel I don't know much.. The whole "reverse funnel" effect.. Much thx for all the responses.. rk |

In most cases I believe there is a tipping point between flat files and client/server database systems when you reach a certain size. This email server will be used by a significantly large number of people and the users will be updated often enough to have things like locking become a consideration. I also find it conceptually easier to do those additions/update/removals from various other automated and interactive interfaces by using the database approach, as opposed to building in code to parse the flat file in each place I want to interact with the email user list. Regardles, PostgreSQL is already running dspam on the server and will likely find other uses. |
