Icewarp Webmail Configuration

[Amit Bolds]

Weare looking to move to a Linux solution, and I've built a couple "proof of concept" servers on Ubuntu 10.4.1 (the most recent LTS release). In wrapping up, I ran across iRedMail and did an install with it, and I like it a lot, mainly because I won't be the only person administrating the email accounts, and this makes the process very simple for me to add admins that can help with account maintenance .

We have a barracuda spam & virus firewall, this has helped a huge amount with our windows server, as it was nearly on the fritz before, but this has reduced the traffic to the mail servers a tremendous amount. It is currently setup to do one of three actions, obviously, allow, tag, delete, based on score. The tags are both header tags and subject line tags. I was wondering how easy it would be to setup iRedMail to automatically push these tagged emails to a junk/spam folder in webmail for the users?

One other question I was having about this barracuda, it seems to be having trouble with rate limiting and the messages are trickeling through abotu 1 every 2 hours instead of instantly. If I can figure out how to sort out that, I'll probably be looking at rolling this out for a couple of our smaller domains today.

I don't know Barracuda, so it's better to explain what you expect and how it will work, and paste related log here (HIDE/REPLACE sensitive information before posting), so that we can help finger out why it happened.

That was actually my fault, I had a mistyping in the mynetworks, going little stir crazy after staring at it all day I guess, it works great now, goign to do a little testing with this sieve and look at moving a domain or 2 over this afternoon. If all goes well, we are definitely going to be purchasing the admin-pro, looks very impressive.

One last question I have is about 3rd party provisioning. We have a billing system setup, if they want to create/delete accounts and domains through that, what would be the best method for them to connect to the server to provision the accounts. Had previously had it setup with virtual domains on SQL and it just executed the SQL statements to create the accounts as needed.

Note: currently, iRedAdmin-Pro works only with OpenLDAP, so if you want to create necessary accounts from 3rd party application, you have to execute LDAP related commands instead. But iRedAdmin-Pro for MySQL backend will be available soon. As i mentioned in other posts, it will be available on Feb 02, ideally.

it doesn't seem to create it at all. WHen setup with the configuration I have in the first example, if I replace the "spam" with the existing "junk" folder it works, but it doesn't create teh spam folder.

Roundcube creates default folders for NEW users, that means user email doesn't exist in roundcube database (mysql).

If you delete user mailbox from file system, but this user still exists in roundcube database (mysql), roundcube won't create these folders when this user log into webmail again.

okay, well, got that working, working great, except, I have "twin" domains I use for testing domain1.net/domain2.net and I basically mirror them and run some tests and one of them works perfectly and the other delivers only to inbox... weird.

works well now. Do still have some small weird hangups with the Sieve settings though. Everything on the server seems to be working fine, but on one account when I go to "filters" it says "unable to connect to managesieve server" and it also seems like user rules I put in "filters" seem to disappear, couple weird things, but I think I can manage to locate these on my own, everything else seems to be working great!

Just an update. Just went live with the server a couple hours ago after some extensive testing. If this goes well for the next couple weeks, we'll be looking to deploy iredmail for our customer server once the mysql iredadmin-pro is available.

All the email is coming in okay, server is working, just having a problem setting up thunderbird as an IMAP client on some machines. Really weird stuff. It autodetects the server settings and ports, etc, but wont' accept username/passwords for some reason. It worked on my machine and one other machine, then had trouble on about 4 or 5 machines.

Weird thing is, eventually it seems to go through, but, in some cases it won't fully load, like, it will only create certain IMAP folders and weird stuff, but once we get them to fully sync, it seems to work okay.

Jan 21 13:39:53 mail postfix/smtpd[1779]: disconnect from unknown[XX.XX.XX.XX] (same address)

--EDIT--

Updated some DNS records, there was a reverse DNS entry for XX.XX.XX.XX for host.domain.tld, I added a forward entry for it too, not sure if that was the proper thing to do or not, but we'll see if that has any postive changes.

For example, when you type www.microsoft.com into your web browser, DNS is used to look up that name to determine the IP address of the server to connect to. The domain name in this example is microsoft.com.

Notice that there are multiple MX records each with a different preference value. The preference is basically a way of setting the priority of each MX record. The lowest preference is the MX with the highest priority, ie the one that a sending mail server should try first.

The backup MX may be another mail server in your organization at a secondary site that has less bandwidth available to it. Or it could be a server hosted by a third party that provides backup MX services. Either way the purpose is to give sending email systems somewhere to send messages rather than have to store them and retry later.

Those are just two examples. There are numerous different scenarios that exist such as hybrid cloud/direct combinations, ge0-distributed networks, and so on. However in my experience with customers these are the two most common scenarios.

Hi , my MX record is in Symantec with priority 0 , but i notice my wintel guy publish the Microsoft mail-protectionxxxx in DNS as well with priority 20; any issue if i remove the microsoft record since i am not using? TQ

We were using a mail server where our web site is hosted. We implemented Microsoft365, moving our email account to MS365. However, our blast email service on the original web hosted server stopped working. I have added the old server address to the spf1 section of a txt record, leaving the entry for ms365 in place. Also added an MX record with the old IP address. None of this works while ms365 Outlook continues to be ok. What am I missing?

We use an application to generate emails in bulk. In side the application we point to our main mx servery (aspmx.l.google.com) supplied by google. But email to any google address never arrives. What are we missing?

Hello, my organization currently uses Microsoft O365 as our email provider but we also use a 3rd party email filter, so our MX records point to them. We would like to stop using the 3rd party filter and just point our MX records to O365, how/what is the best way to accomplish this. Thanks

I have been searching about roadrunner email settings for iphone then finally, when I read this Article I get to know the correct information about it and I found this information is relevant. You have an ample amount of knowledge and that describes it very clearly and I thank you for giving me this type of knowledge and it helps me a lot.

We are changing internet providers the MX records will not be changing just the Public IP. Will I have to create an MX record for the Public IP or keep the current MX record and when the cutover for Internet happens should email resume normally? Thanks in advance

Hi Paul, hope you can help me. We have been running for quite awhile with pref 05 to our exchange server and pref 10 for fallover if the exchange server has problems (emails that cannot get thru to exchange are stored until it gets backup and running.

We are moving to O365 and have pref 40 setup for this. we are preparing for switchover we will disconnect our old exchange server but the emails will get diverted to the fallover box. Is the best solution get rid of the pref 10 record a couple of days earlier than the switch over to stop any diverts

Hello, I have a SBS 2011 with Exchange Server 2010 for the network. I need to add an additional email domain to our current system. How do I update the mx record to just add the additional domain? Thank you!

Dear expert

I want to know that is it possible to publish my compny,s mx records on global dns servers for external world to comunicate with my mail server, without involving any third party hosting service rather using my company,s local dns

Yes, you can host your own DNS server if you want. Not sure what advantages you see with that approach, as reliable DNS hosting is difficult and is quite cheap from external providers. Amazon Route 53 for example only costs a few dollars per year.

Hi

I have installed exchange server 2013 and every thing works fine. I want to sent mail with different domains as sender which I did it . Now, I want to set MX record for any accepted domain . could you give me a hint how to do it ?

I have 3 persons using a Office365 acount and have made all the DNS records at their Domainhost (UnoEuro.com) to point at office365.

It has however been giving me a lot of troubles, because there are oyher people using that domain, but is not using Office365, they just have an IMAP account to their mail. Therefore they only recive some of their mails.

Now I have added a new domain to the Office365 account and want to migrate the 3 -Office365 users mail & calendar content, to their new account in the new domain, can I do that in Admin Office365 ?
