I have been building and testing some postfix mail server
configurations recently, and I am looking for advice.
I currently have postfix authenticating against the password file,
but I think I want to use SQL (PostgreSQL) or LDAP, though I have
limited SQL experience and only some LDAP admin experience.
I will be using SMTP authentication, TLS for those that want it,
Do your users a favor and force the use of TLS/SSL for any
communications where usernames & passwords are sent.
I would like to enable quotas to limit the folks who don't delete
messages, and I think I should be using maildir mailboxes. Of
course I will install POP and IMAP
I also need to install a webmail service on the box.
This box will host no more than ~200 virtual domains, and some of
my customers get a LOT of spam as their addresses were harvested
and sold years ago, so I guess I will try the spamd first, but
spamd will stop a lot of spam cold and the best part, it takes very
little resources to use.
I may need to get a barracuda gateway filter to lessen the load on
the box
I am looking for hints and suggestions - thanks.
