Mail Hosting with Postfix and Friends
Postfix began its life as Wietse Venema's mailer many years ago as an
alternative to the Sendmail application. Since then, it has become one of
the most popular internet mail servers, and is shipped by default by the
likes of Redhat, SuSE, Mandriva, and Apple's OS-X. The popularity of
Postfix lies in its well thought out, robust and secure
design. Additionally Postfix supports numerous features by being incredibly
modular and has a set of very easy to understand and edit configuration
files.
With the right Postfix configuration and a mix of other mail software,
Postfix can become the center-piece to a powerful mail solution for even
the most demanding customers: ISP's and virtual hosters. Such demands can
include:
* Virtual Maildirs
* Virtual user authentication
* SSL/TLS per-domain support
* Mail filtering (virus, spam, RBL, etc)
* Sophisticated policy for mail filtering and transport
* Site and per domain web based administration
While the above sounds nice on paper, implementation of such can be quite
difficult and at times horrifyingly confusing. The heart of the problem is
a lack of documentation, and even then, correct documentation. Much of the
documentation is sparse, conflicts with each other, and often covers very
little ground. Sunny learned this the hard way. After wasting time whining
about the situation, Sunny decided to do what all open source developers
eventually do: scratch an itch.
Please join Sunny this Tuesday as he discusses "Postfix and friends", his
experiences with them, and the new documentation he has written. Such
"friends" of Postfix include:
* Courier-IMAP
* Courier-SASL
* MySQL
* Amavisd-new
* SpamAssassin
* OpenSSL
* Strace
* and more
