<p><b>New page</b></p><div>==Install open vmware tools from synaptic==<br />
<br />
==Install Email Aggregator==<br />
As I understand it, Fetchmail ONLY gets emails from your external accounts - it doesn't send them on itself, it then uses Postfix to pass them to Dovecot. <br />
===Install Dovecot, Postfix, Fetchmail===<br />
#Install from Synaptic (there's apparently a problem with installing postfix with aptitude<br />
##ssh<br />
##dovecot-postfix<br />
##fetchmailconf<br />
#Choose Postfix as Local Only<br />
===Configure Dovecot===<br />
<pre><br />
sudo gedit /etc/dovecot/dovecot-postfix.conf<br />
</pre><br />
Preferred place to store mail- Mail directory under home, for example: home=/var/vmail/domain/user/ mail=/var/vmail/domain/user/mail/ so modify<br />
<pre><br />
#mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir<br />
mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/%u/Maildir<br />
</pre><br />
===Generate SSL certificate===<br />
<pre><br />
sudo openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -out /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem -keyout /etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem -days 5000<br />
</pre><br />
===Add Users===<br />
Add users to system users ie System|Administration|Users and Groups. Create a user for each email address.<br />
===Add Email addresses to Fetchmail===<br />
#<pre><br />
#:fetchmailconf<br />
#:</pre><br />
#Configure<br />
#Expert Mode<br />
#Add new server (use same as profile) eg amorangid9. Press enter<br />
#Enter True name of amorangid9 eg deltanine.net<br />
#Enter new user eg amorangi@deltanine.net, press enter<br />
#Enter password, and change local name eg amorangid9<br />
#Click OK on all the windows to save<br />
===Port Forwarding===<br />
Make sure you forward port 993 to the server<br />
===Add Fetchmail to Startup===<br />
To run fetchmail as a daemon add <br />
<pre><br />
fetchmail -d 300<br />
</pre><br />
where 300 is number of seconds between checks.<br />
<br />
==LAMP and web software==<br />
===Install packages===<br />
*apache2<br />
*php5<br />
*php5-gd<br />
*php5-mysql<br />
*php-pear<br />
*phpmyadmin<br />
*mysql-server<br />
*mysql-admin<br />
*cacti<br />
