<\/div>

\"Install<\/a> In the following article we will guide you through the steps of installing and configuring a simple mail server using Sendmail and Dovecot<\/strong> on a Fedora 20<\/strong> Linux VPS<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What is Sendmail?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is a general purpose email routing facility that supports many kinds of mail-transfer and delivery methods, including the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP<\/strong>) used for email transport over the Internet.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What is Dovecot?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dovecot is an open source IMAP<\/strong> and POP3<\/strong> server for Linux\/UNIX-like systems. It can work with standard mbox, Maildir, and its own native high-performance dbox formats. It is fully compatible with UW IMAP and Courier IMAP servers’ implementation of them, as well as mail clients accessing the mailboxes directly. Dovecot also includes a Mail delivery agent (called Local delivery agent LDA) with optional Sieve filtering support.<\/p>\n

1. UPDATE THE SYSTEM<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Before proceeding any further, make sure you are in a screen session and check if your Fedora 20<\/strong> Linux VPS<\/a> is fully up-to-date by running:<\/p>\n

## screen -U -S sendmail-screen\r\n## yum update<\/pre>\n
2. INSTALL AND CONFIGURE SENDMAIL<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Install Sendmail MTA<\/b> using the following command<\/p>\n
## yum install sendmail sendmail-cf sendmail-doc cyrus-sasl-{lib,plain}<\/pre>\n
change to \/etc\/mail<\/code> directory<\/p>\n
## cd \/etc\/mail<\/pre>\n
edit sendmail’s sendmail.mc<\/code> configuration file and add\/change the following<\/p>\n
## cp sendmail.mc{,.orig}\r\n## vim sendmail.mc<\/pre>\n
define(`PROCMAIL_MAILER_PATH', `\/usr\/bin\/procmail')dnl\r\ndefine(`confAUTH_OPTIONS', `A')dnl\r\nTRUST_AUTH_MECH(`EXTERNAL DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')dnl\r\ndefine(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `EXTERNAL GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')dnl\r\n\r\nFEATURE(local_procmail)dnl\r\n\r\nDAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=0.0.0.0, Name=MTA')dnl\r\nDAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=submission, Name=MSA, M=Ea')dnl\r\n\r\nMAILER(procmail)dnl<\/pre>\n
save and close the file and make<\/code> sendmail’s configuration by running the following commands<\/p>\n
## cd \/etc\/mail\r\n## make all<\/pre>\n
restart sendmail and add it to your linux vps start-up using systemctl<\/code><\/p>\n
## systemctl restart sendmail saslauthd\r\n## systemctl enable sendmail saslauthd<\/pre>\n
for your convenience, below is the complete sendmail.mc<\/code> configuration file:<\/p>\n
divert(-1)dnl\r\ninclude(`\/usr\/share\/sendmail-cf\/m4\/cf.m4')dnl\r\nVERSIONID(`setup for linux')dnl\r\nOSTYPE(`linux')dnl\r\ndefine(`confDEF_USER_ID', ``8:12'')dnl\r\ndefine(`confTO_CONNECT', `1m')dnl\r\ndefine(`confTRY_NULL_MX_LIST', `True')dnl\r\ndefine(`confDONT_PROBE_INTERFACES', `True')dnl\r\ndefine(`PROCMAIL_MAILER_PATH', `\/usr\/bin\/procmail')dnl\r\ndefine(`ALIAS_FILE', `\/etc\/aliases')dnl\r\ndefine(`STATUS_FILE', `\/var\/log\/mail\/statistics')dnl\r\ndefine(`UUCP_MAILER_MAX', `2000000')dnl\r\ndefine(`confUSERDB_SPEC', `\/etc\/mail\/userdb.db')dnl\r\ndefine(`confPRIVACY_FLAGS', `authwarnings,novrfy,noexpn,restrictqrun')dnl\r\ndefine(`confAUTH_OPTIONS', `A')dnl\r\nTRUST_AUTH_MECH(`EXTERNAL DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')dnl\r\ndefine(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `EXTERNAL GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')dnl\r\ndefine(`confTO_IDENT', `0')dnl\r\nFEATURE(`no_default_msa', `dnl')dnl\r\nFEATURE(`smrsh', `\/usr\/sbin\/smrsh')dnl\r\nFEATURE(`mailertable', `hash -o \/etc\/mail\/mailertable.db')dnl\r\nFEATURE(`virtusertable', `hash -o \/etc\/mail\/virtusertable.db')dnl\r\nFEATURE(redirect)dnl\r\nFEATURE(always_add_domain)dnl\r\nFEATURE(use_cw_file)dnl\r\nFEATURE(use_ct_file)dnl\r\nFEATURE(local_procmail)dnl\r\nFEATURE(`access_db', `hash -T<TMPF> -o \/etc\/mail\/access.db')dnl\r\nFEATURE(`blacklist_recipients')dnl\r\nEXPOSED_USER(`root')dnl\r\nDAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=0.0.0.0, Name=MTA')dnl\r\nDAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=submission, Name=MSA, M=Ea')dnl\r\nFEATURE(`accept_unresolvable_domains')dnl\r\nLOCAL_DOMAIN(`localhost.localdomain')dnl\r\nMAILER(smtp)dnl\r\nMAILER(procmail)dnl<\/pre>\n
\n
3. INSTALL AND CONFIGURE DOVECOT<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Install dovecot<\/code> using the command below<\/p>\n
## yum install dovecot<\/pre>\n
change to dovecot’s directory in \/etc\/dovecot<\/code><\/p>\n
## cd \/etc\/dovecot<\/pre>\n
and edit the following<\/p>\n
## vim conf.d\/10-mail.conf\r\n...\r\nmail_location = maildir:~\/Maildir<\/pre>\n
## vim conf.d\/10-ssl.conf\r\n...\r\nssl = yes<\/pre>\n
## vim conf.d\/10-auth.conf\r\n...\r\ndisable_plaintext_auth = no\r\nauth_mechanisms = plain login<\/pre>\n
next, edit dovecot’s main configuration file and add\/edit the following<\/p>\n
## vim dovecot.conf\r\n...\r\nprotocols = imap pop3 lmtp\r\nlisten = *<\/pre>\n
start Dovecot and add it to your Fedora system’s start-up using<\/p>\n
## systemctl restart dovecot\r\n## systemctl enable dovecot<\/pre>\n
4. SET-UP PROCMAIL<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Add the following to \/etc\/procmailrc<\/code><\/p>\n
## vim \/etc\/procmailrc\r\n\r\nDEFAULT=$HOME\/Maildir\/<\/pre>\n
5. CREATE A NEW USER<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Create new user using the following command<\/p>\n
## useradd -m test<\/pre>\n
set password for the newly created info<\/code> account<\/p>\n
## passwd test<\/pre>\n
add your mydomain.com<\/code> domain name to \/etc\/mail\/local-host-names<\/code><\/p>\n
## echo mydomain.com >> \/etc\/mail\/local-host-names<\/pre>\n
and create an alias for the newly created email account, by adding the following to \/etc\/mail\/virtusertable<\/code><\/p>\n
## vim \/etc\/mail\/virtusertable\r\n\r\ntest@mydomain.com  test\r\nsales@mydomain.com test<\/pre>\n
rebuild sendmail’s configuration by running the following commands<\/p>\n
## cd \/etc\/mail\r\n## make all\r\n## systemctl restart sendmail<\/pre>\n
