http://ubuntuforums.org – Hi guys I run my own home webserver (LAMP + Drupal). My brother pays for his own hosting and as his site is low load/hobby site I've offered to host it for him. However he makes extensive use of the mail server facility provided by his current host. I did't install the mail server package when I setup the server. I just forward my email to my existing mailbox. I know I can install the default mail server that came on the ubuntu server CD, and I intend to try it.

Stories similar to [ubuntu] Which ubuntu mail server

Dear all

I am planning to run an Ubuntu server as a mail server for our office. Our goal is to have an email server that connect to our web mail server and pull all the emails from server. Our employee don't have access to internet but we need all of them use email.

I have a commercial website on an Ubuntu web server and my hosting company has a mail server for all its customers.

For security reasons, do you think I should rely on my hosting company's centralized mail server for my domain's email? Or should I just set up my own mail server on the same Cloud server?

Maybe I should use Google Apps' mail server for my own domain?

Thanks in advance

But on IMAP settings i leave it blank.

I want to host at home and I have done it before but I want to setup a server not just hosting on my windows 7. I know the risks and its better to just buy from hosting providers etc. I'm interested to host at home and I can't find any okay tutorial using unix, ubuntu server or whatever is the best.

I have to setup a mail server because my hosting account don't allow me to send over 250 mail/hour.

I have a HP microserver at home and I want to use it to send the mails. I configured Virtualmin on it and i created the domain example.com in it (I have example.com registered with hosting on my hoster) but when I tried to send mail from outlook, my server send the emails, but gmail mark it as spam

Hi

I moved a mediawiki site to my own server. It is working fine, except that I cannot get mail to work. The mediawiki sould send mail when people register to the wiki, or when they want to reset their password. On the previous server this all worked fine.

I am not very familiar with installations like this. I've never done this before.

We have a mail server running Debian 5.0. It is one year old now but we want to deploy a new server with Ubuntu Server 10.04. The problem is that we want to transfer all the user mails and settings to the new mail-serverl. So all their usernames and passwords should be the same, all their mails should be transferred successfully to the new mail server.

I have a WHM/CPANEL dedicated server currently doing the whole lot (Web Server, Database Server, Mail Server) and I am getting annoyed that mail is not being received all the time, mail is getting bounced (despite disabling all spam filters) and have already tried all the tricks in the WHM/CPANEL troubleshooting book.

So, given up trying to work out why and looking to move mail to a hosted soluti
