Ok, so i've spend my whole sunday trying to install a mailserver on my vps. I failed.
I followed [url=https://help.ubuntu.com/10.10/serverguide/C/postfix.html]this[/url], [url=http://jonsview.com/how-to-setup-email-services-on-ubuntu-using-postfix-tlssasl-and-dovecot]this[/url] and something else.
Everything ended in being a mess and not working :(
The first tutorial worked until I came across [code]telnet <my server.com> 25 returning
telnet: Unable to connect to remove host: Connection refused
// telnet localhost 25 worked[/code]
So yeah, can anyone help me?
[code]
srcds Cruth ~/srcds/clone/orangebox> nc luastoned.com 25

Ok, wow. Too bad I shut my pc down already.
I wanted to do the same thing myself and I think I spent about fucking forever hammering on it.
A couple of things:
I gave up on trying to set it up all by myself and just went ahead with iRedmail.
You can just do a clean installation of Ubuntu, Debian or CentOS and install it on that.
I recommend going into policyd's conf file, think it's somewhere in /etc and disable greylisting. I wasn't able to receive any email until I disabled it.
It's very resource heavy, it eats up half a gig of RAM even with Clamd turned off, and a gig with it on. You can go quite safely on a VPS with 512mb guaranteed RAM and 1024mb burstable (swap), but it can just randomly die like after a week or two, so I'd suggest doing a weekly cron job at like 5am your time on wednesday or something to reboot the machine.
Well, my VPS is too small to run that, any other ideas / tutorials?
I just literally heard about Citadel about an hour ago, no knowledge on it but it has a lot more than just email so that's probably too heavy too.
Is really noone if you having their own mail server? :(
Too hard with hardcore mail servers, I wonder if linux has some lite ones or AIO versions. What am I thinking, it's linux, it's not meant to be simple D:
