Hi,
Thank you for you help with choosing a domain registrar. I went with
Gandi I'm the end and they seem great.
I've bought my first domains and I'm just about to begin configuring
services on my VPS. This is the first time I've run a server facing
the public internet.
I'd really appreciate any guidance on the best way to set up the
following so that it's competent, reliable and doesn't get pwned. I
want to be a good net citizen.
*BIND *Incoming mail *A POP3/IMAP server for my client. *An SMTP
server for my client to send to. *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 recommendations)
Thanks, Paul.
and once more including the list... dang reply-to. :)
Questions...
1. what is your VPS running?
2. are you only providing mail for yourself, or many others?
in any case, my personal preferences are (and these are running on my VPS)
postfix for SMTP
[along with amavisd + clamav + postgrey + spamassassin]
dovecot for IMAP
both of these use an openldap backend for authentication and virtual
accounts.
roundcube for webmail. It's pretty and functional.
