Postfix + Dovecot + Postgresql + Postfixadmin + Roundcube

Postfix Installer

Following script may be used for configuring complete and secure email server on fresh install of Debian 7. It will probably work on other distributions using apt-get. After minor changes you'll be able to use it on other Linux distros.

Usage

  1. Run postfix.sh script.
  2. Configure postgres to allow connections.
  3. Configure postfix admin. Remember to set these:
$CONF['configured'] = true;
$CONF['domain_path'] = 'YES';
$CONF['domain_in_mailbox'] = 'YES';
$CONF['database_type'] = 'pgsql';
$CONF['database_host'] = 'localhost';
$CONF['database_user'] = 'postfix_user';
$CONF['database_password'] = 'PASSWORD FROM INSTALLER SCRIPT';
$CONF['database_name'] = 'postfix_db';
  1. Create domain and at least one user.
  2. Configure roundcube. Set imap to port 993, host to: ssl://localhost. Set smtp to port 587, host to tls://localhost.

This is just a draft right now, it will be updated.
