1 Answer

1. Install and access webmin

2. If it is a virtual machine change the network mode to NAT to access internet or make sure your LAMP machine has internet access

3. Install Dovecot service. It will be our entry IMAP/POP3 mail server

   by just searching in webmin you can install Dovecot

4. Install BIND DNS service.

Configure the DNS server

1. First. We created the "Master Zone": miempresa.com and configure the following records

   A: ServerMail.mydomain.com 192.168.10.2

   MX: mydomain.com ServerMail.mydomain.com (10)

   Create the "inverse area" of the previous domain

2. When resolving a name ask a DNS server of the Internet, for example in 8.8.8.8

SMTP server settings

1. First create user 'mailuser1' with password 'a' group 'users'

2. Postfix server > Configuration of general options:

   What domain name to use for outgoing mail: mydomain.com

   What domain name to use for incomming mail: mydomain.com

   Send outgoing mail by machine: Deliver directly

   Number of machines of this Internet mail system: Default

   local networks: 127.0.0.0 / 8, 192.168.10.0/24

3. Test that its working. We can do it from Webmin > Servers > Reading Usuarios mails

   just send an email to your email and check that you receive, you may be spam.
