Mail Server plugin

3dkiller · 16. August 2012

Hallo. I use Openmediavault and I enjoy it, but I'd like have mailserver in my server.
Would you planning make Mailserver plugin?
May be you have step-by-step manual, how I can use my OMV server as mailserver also.
Thank you so much.
Sorry by my English

Anybody here????

A mailserver plugin would be a lot of work. You would be better off using something like Zimbra and use its web interface.

A official mailserver plugin is not planned.

Thank you so much.
Have you got some quik manual about Zimbra ?
Now I use vbox plugin and use kerio connect into virtual machine.
But it very uneasily.
Have you any Idea about mailserver?

This is just plain Debian. There are lots of mail servers out there for it, you can install any of them on your own. Keep in mind that his is not the goal for a home NAS, so don't expect much help from this forum.

Install RoundCube and postfixadmin in addition and after the case. Manage you by www.

Hi all,

After reading the above, I decided to give Axigen a try. Seems like a quick and complete solution for my needs, However installation fails like this:

Code

dpkg: regarding .../axigen_8.1.1-1_i386.deb containing axigen:
 postfix conflicts with mail-transport-agent
  axigen provides mail-transport-agent and is to be installed.
dpkg: error processing /tmp/axigen-8.1.1.i386.deb.run.OAZvry/axigen-8.1.1/axigen_8.1.1-1_i386.deb (--install):
 conflicting packages - not installing axigen
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /tmp/axigen-8.1.1.i386.deb.run.OAZvry/axigen-8.1.1/axigen_8.1.1-1_i386.deb

Appearantly OMV already has some mailfunctionality on board?

I can see postfix is installed, but the daemon is not running.
Can I safely remove it, or does omv rely on it?

Zitat von "Tuckson"

No, you can not remove it because OMV uses postfix to submit emails. The daemon is only running if you enable the notification feature.

Ai...
Already got that idea.

Code

De volgende pakketten zullen VERWIJDERD worden:
  bsd-mailx openmediavault openmediavault-omvextrasorg postfix
0 pakketten opgewaardeerd, 0 pakketten nieuw geÃ¯nstalleerd, 4 te verwijderen en 0 niet opgewaardeerd.
Door deze operatie zal er 8282 kB schijfruimte vrijkomen.
Wilt u doorgaan [J/n]? n
Afbreken.
root@server:/#

Says so much as that OMV would be removed
That's not really what I intended to.

I'm running a mailserver on my OMV box. It runs in a virtual machine with Debian Wheezy and iRedMail installed. It has all you need for a mailserver like Roundcube webmail and Dovecot IMAP server. Works extremely stable with allmost no use of machine ressources.

My VM setup is based on on KVM like this Howto: http://forums.openmediavault.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=2417
You could also use the VirtualBox plugin for VM's but i have the experience taht VirtualBox is more ressource hungry than KVM and since my setup is build with a low power AMD E350 i optet for KVM as host platform even though KVM is a bit more difficult to setup than VirtualBox.

if you have CPU power enough i think Virtualbox will be fine as host platform.
