E-Mail

Post by Hollow »

Hello and good morning! I am wondering if anyone can help me figure out how to setup a personal e-mail account on my VDS. So, a little background:

It is a VDS from NFO.
Port 25 isn't restricted, I have been a customer for a long time.
The OS is Windows Server 2012.
My domain is connected to the VDS and working just fine.

Now, if there is any other background you need, feel free to ask. Moving on to the big question.. is there any way that you guys know of that I can set up a personal e-mail for this server? I need to be able to send e-mails from my personal domain, otherwise it would look very unprofessional.

Any help is very much appreciated!

I set mine up using this tutorial quite some time back (at least I'm fairly confident...) - http://unlockforus.com/roundcube-webmai ... ailserver/. Seemed to work fine on Windows 2008.

If you check around on the same website, it'll also have a section for hardening it (ie make email/mysql run on it's own user accounts, only access to a web partition, security stuff etc etc).

Hello! I am just writing back to inform you that I have successfully set up my mail server and mail client on the VDS with the help of the guide you mentioned.

Thank you very much for your post, it was very helpful!
