| Post subject: | Question Regarding MailServer Set Up |
I am going to purchase a second linode and run it as a mail server. Few questions. - which linode package should I buy considering 10, 15 email inboxes with not more than 100 emails going to and fro with each email. - I want all emails to be encrypted and ssl installed - Roundcube ? or Squirrel ? or something else ? - I am comfortable in using ubuntu so will it suit ? - Any definitive guide for these requirements ? Thank you so much for any help. |

1) Start with the 512, probably. E-mail is not very resource-intensive, it's just an administrative pain. 2) You can enable TLS in your mail server, but there is no guarantee that other mail servers will speak TLS. Also, I don't know of any MDAs that support mail encryption when mail is stored. 3) Either should be fine. The web interface is a minor part of the whole thing. Choosing the MTA/MDA and IMAP servers are the key parts. 4) Sure. 5) Use Google Apps. |

One of the guides in the linode library would be a good place to start http://library.linode.com/email/postfix |

you should buy ready to user SMTP server, I know a name sarvmail.com they provide you managed SMTP server based on mailing capacity. You just order and get smtp server. they managed your email delivery and configure server as you want. www.sarvmail.com/smtp |

Bleh just notice none of them are for 12.04. Pick one of the other Ubuntu ones then yell when you get to something that doesn't work. |
