unlishema.wolf Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I was thinking about setting up a personal email server and I don't really know where to start. Could someone just point me in a direction? (aka. a Manuel or guide for email servers) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/223548-advice-email-server/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Assuming you meant on Linux because Windows is a wimp when it comes to anything to do with servers. http://library.linode.com/email/postfix/ Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/223548-advice-email-server/#findComment-1155595 Share on other sites More sharing options...
unlishema.wolf Posted January 6, 2011 Author Share Posted January 6, 2011 Yes I am using a linux server. Sorry I didn't add that in the post. I have a tower with linux server on it. Once I get my second computer running it will actually be a cloud server.

trq Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Cool. I run a few different sites from servers at home too. I'm using a pretty simple virtualization (openvz), but it suites me fine. There's allot of good articles on that particular site I linked you too.

unlishema.wolf Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 I haven't got to look at the site yet however it is what I wanted. Is openvz a host virtual server? Like to make multiple websites on one host server? If so I might be looking into that for a personal host server for friends.

trq Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 openvz is a simple form of virtualization. It allows you to have multiple virtual machines (including there own Linux) all running on one host machine. Apache allows multiple websites.

QuickOldCar Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 If wanted to do multiple virtual dedicated servers or any type of hosting, this is a very good complete package using openvz or xen. Needs centos as operating system for the server. I ran this a while and loved it, but I wasn't really hosting and had a need for the next php version at the time. Comes complete with email server, user control panels,ticket system and all, is very deluxe, especially when it's free. http://lxcenter.org/software/hypervm/ http://lxcenter.org/software/kloxo/ Used to be lxadmin Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/223548-advice-email-server/#findComment-1162761 Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuickOldCar Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Might as well add this, Zimbra, is same client yahoo uses and free. http://www.turnkeylinux.org/zimbra That's a turnkey ready to go version, is also some other interesting ready made snapshots there as well.
