  • Great, Dean! :)

    And thank you for your bug report, I just fixed it. Can you please run these commands on the mailcow machine? -> https://gist.github.com/andryyy/860ef9f89b8bafa2777b

  • Just tried to install on Dacentec VPS using Ubuntu 14.04 x86 minimal.. installation always failed and stop on MySQL 5.5 installation.

    Any idea how to fix this?

    Thanks..

  • Servercow said: DNS server recommendation

    i'm not sure if mailcow has that check, but DNS cannot be google or other large resolvers because of spamhaus requirements. (http://www.spamhaus.org/faq/section/DNSBL Usage#261)

    $ dig +short @[DNS.server] 2.0.0.127.zen.spamhaus.org
    MUST return a meaningful result.

  • Yes, marrco, it does indeed check this: https://github.com/andryyy/mailcow/blob/master/includes/functions.sh#L584-L586
    :)

    @Wira, sounds like a permission issue. I will gladly help you with that. Just write me a mail, maybe I can send you a temp. SSH key?

  • If we don't want to setup our own dns servers, do you have any suggestions? Would opendns work?

    OpenDNS works fine with most lists.
    See https://goo.gl/hrMJ4f :)

    Edit: mailcow will warn you anyway. A public DNS may always be banned from a list in the future. You can easily install PowerDNS recursor on Debian with apt-get install pdns-recursor :)

    Upgrade went without any issue, thanks!

    BTW, screenshot links in the OP is 404

    Debian dropped cluebringer support in Jessie, and it's not developed anymore. There are many different solutions. If you don't like haraka (a new version is due really soon) you can try rspamd. I still think that having a dedicated module in front of your mta to do the antispam filtering is the way to go

    I did an upgrade, then my server screwed up. The mail.mydomain.tld is loading main site, the mydomain.tld, any guess? :-)
    EDIT: Restarted system, then mail.mydomain.tld requires username and password of SabreDAV, what's that? ;-)

  • Anna_Parker said: EDIT: Restarted system, then mail.mydomain.tld requires username and password of SabreDAV, what's that? ;-)

    Edit /etc/nginx/sites-available/mailcow so that it fits your need.

    @Servercow, if the nginx config file has been customised in the past, maybe that would be best not to touch it, isn't it?

    Thanked by 1Anna_Parker
  • @scy Yes, update screwed nginx's configuration. Fortunately mailcow did a backup, which I've used. Works like a charm. Great software, thanks @Servercow!

    In the instructions for the setup, it clearly says:

    Before You Begin

    Please remove any web- and mail services running on your server.  
    

    I recommend using a clean Debian minimal installation.
    Remember to purge Debians default MTA Exim4:

    I think you missed the part about this being a upgrade. Shouldn't be required with an upgrade

  • Simple and nice tuts, bookmarked.

  • @Anna_Parker You got it working now? If not just write me a pm. :)
    You can add and edit any sites besides "mailcow". Changes in this file will be overwritten on an upgrade.

    A quick'n'dirty tip: Just "chattr +i whatever.conf" to ensure it will not be changed. :)

    Thanked by 1scy
  • Hi Servercow

    Servercow said: chattr +i whatever.conf

    Nice one, thanks. Useful to "protect" some config files during an upgrade.

    By the way, the inbox subfolders are really nice. Which part of the system handles that?

  • If you keep the mailcow.conf file and don't use -u switch then it shouldn't install if it detects http/email services :)

  • @Servercow have you seen Rainloop webmail
    Whats your thoughts about that webmail client

  • @servercow its nice work but u think think its use to many memory? and what u think about for centos ? and yes rainloop may be?

  • miklos said: but u think think its use to many memory?

    If you don't need it clamav, you might want to disable it to save some memory.

  • @servercow - there are a few emails which are being caught as spam when they aren't (from online.net for example). There are also some that aren't being caught. How can I let the server know which ones aren't spam etc? :)

    i think by moving the spam email to Spam folder and good ones to Inbox it will learn 24 hrs ones by running spam assassin in cron job

    its all done automatically

  • what minimum ram requirement?

  • hary said: what minimum ram requirement?

    I'd say 512 without clamav - 768 to 1GB with it.

    Depends how busy your server will be of course. 1GB RAM would be better.

  • it looks tempting ... maybe i'll try it too:)

  • @hary said:
    what minimum ram requirement?

    I'm running it on 256 MB RAM + 128 MB SWAP and it works.

  • Hmm, we can surely do this with a policy daemon. Found a nice perl script for this: https://github.com/bejelith/send_rate_policyd. But you may want to use policyd then to only have a single policy daemon for greylisting, rate limiting etc.
    

    Integrating policyd into mailcow would need some time and effort...

    @Servercow I wouldn't mind paying for this feature. Keep us informed of feature developments. Thank you for everything you do.

  • I thought I saw it mentioned somewhere but can't find it, has anyone tried running this on a scaleway C1 server?

    Installing from Debian Jessie, fom Online Cloud, only needs the postfix package to be installed on your config file. It appears that it is installing correctly
