Ubuntu Webserver and Mail Server Mk IV

Install open vmware tools from synaptic

Install Email Aggregator

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.

Install Dovecot, Postfix, Fetchmail

Install from Synaptic (there's apparently a problem with installing postfix with aptitude
1. ssh
2. dovecot-postfix
3. fetchmailconf
Choose Postfix as Local Only

Configure Dovecot

sudo gedit /etc/dovecot/dovecot-postfix.conf

Preferred place to store mail- Mail directory under home, for example: home=/var/vmail/domain/user/ mail=/var/vmail/domain/user/mail/ so modify

#mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir
mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/%u/Maildir

Generate SSL certificate

sudo openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -out /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem -keyout /etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem -days 5000

Add Users

Add users to system users ie System|Administration|Users and Groups. Create a user for each email address.

Add Email addresses to Fetchmail

```
fetchmailconf
```
Configure
Expert Mode
Add new server (use same as profile) eg amorangid9. Press enter
Enter True name of amorangid9 eg deltanine.net
Enter new user eg amorangi@deltanine.net, press enter

Click OK on all the windows to save

Port Forwarding

Make sure you forward port 993 to the server

Add Fetchmail to Startup

To run fetchmail as a daemon add

fetchmail -d 300

where 300 is number of seconds between checks.
