Howdy! I made the jump to Linode UML hosting, and am rolling Debian/MySQL 4.1/Apache2/PHP 5 out on the box. That end of things is all set up. The server supports about 10 domains, each with separate Apache Virtual Hosts, MySQL databases, shell accounts, etc. Pretty much standard stuff.
I'm quite knowledgeable in the area of MySQL/Apache/PHP server stuff, and general admin stuff, but what I haven't had much experience with is email systems, since I've never had a real fat pipe to the house, and always had great shared web hosting, I just used my hosted email on my virtual servers. So what to install on my new UML server? I don't really know where to start, but here are the things I need: - IMAP, POP3 optional (would be best if it's an IMAP server that supports a "virtual" POP3 layer) - Multiple Domain support ([EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] need to be SEPARATE accounts) - Further Multiple Domain support, this one is optional, but desired: [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] are the SAME account, but [EMAIL PROTECTED] is DIFFERENT than the other two... - Spam Assassin is a must - I'm currently using it on my shared hosting, and it captures about 95% of my spam. Not sure how this gets configured, but I'm guessing it comes into play regardless of mail system? Eigh? I also need an SMTP server. Should I just use sendmail, or go to Postfix? Any good recommended reads for either? I have been running Hula on my home server for a few weeks, trying it while pondering the move to UML. Conceptually, I like it, and I'd probably use it, but it doesn't support multiple domains like I need. Unless I'm missing something? Some guided advice would be splendid!
