Hi,<br>
<br>
Thank you for you help with choosing a domain registrar. I went with Gandi =
I'm the end and they seem great.<br>
<br>
I've bought my first domains and I'm just about to begin configurin=
g services on my VPS. This is the first time I've run a server facing t=
he public internet.<br>
<br>
I'd really appreciate any guidance on the best way to set up the follow=
ing so that it's competent, reliable and doesn't get pwned. I want =
to be a good net citizen.<br>
<br>
*BIND<br>
*Incoming mail<br>
*A POP3/IMAP server for my client.<br>
*An SMTP server for my client to send to.<br>
*Webmail for on-the-road access to my mail. (my existing provider uses Open=
.Exchange and I like it but I'm also happy to consider other recommenda=
tions)<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Paul.<br>

Good choice with Gandi,<br>
<br>
I would forget BIND for the time being, just use Gandi's DNS. Then my p=
reference is Dovecot for IMAP, Postfix for your SMTP and Roundcube for your=
webmail.<br>
<br>
But first, get ssh running on some random high port and lock down your fire=
wall leaving only the random high port open<div class=3D"HOEnZb"><div class=
