Sunny Dubey (NYLUG) -on- 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 About Sunny Dubey Sunny is an avid fan of Linux and Open Source. He is an officer of NYLUG, a management major at Polytechnic University, and a Linux consultant.
