I was able to run my personal mailserver for nearly two years without having to learn what amavis-new was. After that, I started getting enough spam that it became an annoyance and I added it.
Webmail is not that important to me now that I have a smartphone (I really recommend K-9 Mail for Android, which is FOSS https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fsck.k9&hl=en_GB https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fsck.k9&hl...). Failing that can always log into my machine using ssh and use mutt to read and send mail.
I think the mailserver SQLite is Postfix (SMTP), Dovecot (IMAP) and some DNS records.
- trurl42 13y agoPostfix is the mail server used in this very guide. So I don't consider Postfix to be easy to set up. OpenSMTPD looks like a step in the right direction.
- calpaterson 13y agoI haven't looked at OpenSMTPD. This guide does include a lot of configuration, but it's worth mentioning that not only are the defaults pretty reasonable, but that Ubuntu (and Debian) can configure the most important options using dpkg-reconfigure.
- spudlyo 13y agoIf you think Postfix is hard to set up, you've probably never had to deal with Sendmail.
