Setup a Linux Mail Server

by Tom

Here is a nice how-to on setting up and running a Linux Mail Server. The server includes

  • Postfix – sending mail
  • Procmail – mailing lists
  • Fetchmail – mail retrieval
  • SpamBayes – spam filtering
  • Courier-imap – IMAP / POP3 Server
  • SquirrelMail – web mail client

This is an extremely lengthy tutorial that will take you from zero to finish, so if you have needed a comprehensive approach to handle Linux mail server setup, rather than a piecemeal bunch of blog posts and forum explanations just bookmark this article.

It also covers SquirrelMail configuration, Courier Authentication and Additional Simple Procmail Recipes and Mailbox Configuration. Outstanding Linux post all the way around.
