| − | = Overview =
| + | This article shows how to set up webmail. We use the software [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squirrelmail Squirrelmail]. |
| − | You have [[set up a mail server]] and do not want anyone to use it as spam-catapult. So you need ''sender verification'' in your postfix service. Only people who know their username and password shall be allowed to send mail.
| |
| | | | |
| − | = Configure it =
| + | Download SquirrelMail from http://www.SquirrelMail.org. |
| − | Make sure your authentication service is running:
| + | Unpack it: |
| − | /etc/init.d/saslauthd status
| + | tar xvzf squirrelmail-''1.4.15''.tar.gz |
| − | has to deliver
| + | Configure it: |
| − | running
| + | cd squirrelmail-''1.4.15'' |
| − | In /etc/postfix/main.cf, set
| + | ./configure |
| − | smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
| + | Install it: |
| − | smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes
| + | cd |
| − | In /etc/postfix/main.cf, add permit_sasl_authenticated to smtpd_recipient_restrictions. The resulting line may look like this:
| + | mv squirrelmail* /srv/www/htdocs/mail |
| − | smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, | |
| − | permit_sasl_authenticated,
| |
| − | reject_unauth_destination,
| |
| − | check_policy_service inet:127.0.0.1:60000
| |
| − | | |
| − | Restart Postfix
| |
| − | /etc/init.d/postfix restart
| |
| − | | |
| − | = Test it =
| |
| − | Start kmail, setup localhost as incoming and outgoing mail server. In kmail, change the sending account's authentication method to "LOGIN". Send a mail to testuser@localhost.
