I've spent the last 6 hours trying to get e-mails working on my server. I run a linode to host a couple of websites. I was running Ubuntu 12.04 and had everything working using this guide: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-serve ... spconfig-3 (Ubuntu 12.04). I've now upgraded to Ubuntu 14.04 using this guide and I can't regret the move more. Worse, I didn't have backups enabled for my Linode at the time.

I've reversed the steps for E-mail setup from HowToForge and tried to use this instead: http://www.krizna.com/ubuntu/setup-mail ... ntu-14-04/
Still no luck. This is my topic here requesting help: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=11024

At this stage, I'm frustrated and fed up. I'm looking for an e-mail solution that works. One that *you* use and can recommend for a noob. I wouldn't mind rebuilding the server with a different distro just to get e-mails working. I'm open to any ideas. Thanks for any help.

I'm currently using FastMail, which has been pretty good so far. Decent web UI, solid IMAP support, LDAP and XMPP servers, and a relatively trivial cost. It's lacking full IPv6 support, but other than that, it's everything I've wanted in an e-mail solution.
