Mail and stuff…

Finally I got myself convinced to put mail users in a virtual domain configuration instead of using the systems user accounts (actually a friend (stffn) convinced me), so now I’ve got Postfix / MySQL / PostfixAdmin / Courier-IMAP / ClamAV / SpamAssassin running nicely together. I tried out the tests at testvirus.org and none got through… Nifty!

Now I just need to see some spam and/or virii get through, so I can finetune Amavis. (NO! That should not be seen as a suggestion for you to send me spam and/or virii.)

PostfixAdmin even allows me to create “virtual domain administrators”, so I can assign e.g. med.linux.dk to johndoe@lillesvin.linux.dk and he can administer all email-addresses/-aliases there. ;) This opens further up for the hosting-possibilities for Lillesvin Networks. E.g. now you can have your mail hosted here and your website somewhere else – or vice versa.

Now all I need is a bigger server and a bigger line (633 MHz CPU/128 MB RAM/7 GB HDD (on two disks) on a 256 Kbps/256 Kbps connection isn’t exactly ideal for hosting on a larger scale than 3-4 rarely visited domains.

I guess getting stuff like this done is one of the upsides to insomnia… Unfortunately I have a really hard time getting up and to the university in the morning.
