mail server setup

[Tony Baechler]

Please see my contact information in my signature.  I generally charge for 
phone, so I suggest email.  I am not an expert with I-MSCP.  After looking 
at several different control panels, it seemed to be the only one which is 
truly free and open source, didn't try to sell you extra stuff like Webmin 
and is updated fairly often.  It worked great on a minimal Ubuntu 14.04 
system and should support Debian, but not RHEL or Fedora.  I don't like 
RPM-based systems and most control panels seem to require them, so I 
especially wanted something designed for Debian.  Webmin runs on Debian but 
the .deb packages are not put together very well in my opinion and don't 
follow standard Debian packaging guidelines.  Feel free to contact me with 
any of the methods in my signature.

We're hosting several domains with lots of email addresses and never had a problem.  The installer is very accessible.  The web interface leaves a little to be desired, but works fine in Firefox and Lynx.  It uses Postfix and automatically downloads and installs packages, so it's best ran on a minimal system.  The control panel is isolated from Apache, so if your web server goes down, your control panel should stay up.

> Virtualmin is similar to a control panel, but again, much harder to use and less accessible.  http://www.webmin.com/  Having used Postfix, Exim and Qmail, I like Postfix and Qmail best.  I found Exim harder to configure, but the Debian packages automate much of it for you.

If you want a similar feature set which is very accessible, try Synchronet.  It was a dial-up BBS package as was Citadel, but is now telnet and web-based.  It's natively built for Windows but runs on Linux and FreeBSD.  http://synchro.net/ _______________________________________________
