Mail server for 3500 users

Hi there

I need to setup a mail server whit the following features:

1)3500+ users accounts
2)Multiple Domains
3)Web Interface (ubiemail maybe)
4)can limit account size (1Mb)
5)massive account creation capable

Can u tell me if there´s a "HOW TO" that i can use to do it?

Please help me....

You can try
www.hula-project.org, Zimbra, or scalix.

The First is like a good one for small business. Maybe till 5000 max ? I don't know, but the site says 200,000 with a dual Xeon . And I didn't try Zimbra or Scalix. Anyway they seems robust aswell.

Or just go with the shell, some packages install, manually edit every files, etc.

My advice is to use one of those. Your choice is what fit your needs.

 

Thanks a lot....Ill try it

After try whit Hula i took a closer look to your tutorial...i have a little question, i understand that for administration i have phpmyadmin running on the web server but i dont understand i will get some kind of Web Base GUI i mean a web mail interface for users, of course.

Thanks a lot

If you like you can write one yourself with PHP. You only need to write to the MySQL database.

 

Hi

can i use something like ubiemail maybe???

Thanks

Hector

 

you can use any imap webmail client with Falko's tutorial.. i use roundcube... works great!

 

Thanks HoUsECAt...

Any tips on install process????

Ill try it this morning.

Thanks again

Hector

 

the how-to of falko is as easy as pealing a banana

the round installation is also in that category...

GOOD LUCK!

 

with that many users and possible domains, I would use postfix with mysql support for virtual domains and then user postfixadmin to maintain it. it's quite good. http://www.postfixadmin.org

 

But postfixadmin doesn't work with this setup - at least not without programming changes...
