Hello sysadmins,
Happy New Year (2010)!
Anyone knows if I can build a FreeBSD box that has:
Firewall /Gateway /Mail Server Solution with
the following capabilities:
. http, pop, smtp, and imap email access.
. Global Address List facility
. Personal Address List facility
. Personal and Group Scheduling through a calendar facility
. System Dashboards to allow monitoring of the Managed
Firewall /Gateway /Mail Server.
. Ability for users to use the same password as that in windows
Active Directory is desired.
. Connector for Microsoft Outlook (Desirable)
Anyone managed to install Citadel on FreeBSD? I think somehow it can do the
e-mail parts. I have tried installing Citadel but it fails me always.
Anyone knows what I can use for System Dashboards other than webmin? Webmin
can do, but I feel there are other apps that can do much more visualization
of the server.

Horde or SquirrelMail + appropriate addons
Cyrus IMAPd or Dovecot
Sendmail or Postfix or Exim or ....
You should be able to use SASL to hook up any of these to AD for
authentication purposes. (If you choose sendmail, you'ld want the
version from ports so you can compile it with all the SASL bits.)
Horde certainly will allow you to create Global and Personal address
books via various different back-end databases. In principle it can
use LDAP so you might be able to bodge it into AD, but I'd recommend
MySQL as the least grief, fastest benefit solution.
Horde also provides shared and global calendars, accessilble via
CalDAV.
No idea what to recommend as a control panel for the firewall, MTA and
imap servers I'm afraid.
Note that Outlook is designed to work with MS Exchange, and often gives
less than optimal results with other mail servers.
Cheers,
Matthew

You could try zimbra for all-in-one-email-solution instead of Citadel or Horde+, that would solve most of the problems as it integrates all the bits you need into a one working opensource bundle.
You can always write something to manage your firewall (like zimlet to zimbra) and that greatly depends on your expectations. I don't change firewall rules very often on my zimbra box but then again, i am the ascii lover ;).
kind regards,
s.

You run Zimbra on FreeBSD? Let me see the guide you followed in order to do
that although I don't love Zimbra that much because accessing it via the web
requires so much bandwidth - unless this changed.
I have seen
http://wiki.zimbra.com/index.php?title=Installing_GNR_on_FreeBSD_7.2_i386 but
wonder if you run the latest zimbra on your FreeBSD. Does it meet my
requirements?

Edition for that, which is only available for Linux systems.
The FreeBSD port of Zimbra OSS is also very experimental and not recommended
for production use.
For a setup like Odhiambo wants, I'd recommend two boxes:
firewall (FreeBSD or OpenBSD)
groupware server (Linux)
For the groupware server, I've tested the following:
citadel
opengroupware
phpgroupware
egroupware
zimbra
kolab
icewarp
merak
Citadel is more of a BBS than a real groupware solution, and is geared more
toward online discussions and forums and whatnot. It's very similar to
FirstClass (which is a horrible product, avoid at all costs).
Open/PHP/eGroupware were okay, but they didn't really fulfill all our needs
at the time.
IceWarp and Merak left a sour taste in my mouth, and have some very strange
configuration methods.
Kolab was very nice, but uses the OpenPackage format and wants to install
everything under /opt and use all of it's own services, requiring you to
disable the OS-provided services (SMTP, web, etc). If you use Kontact (KDE
PIM), it's the best one to use. It has an Outlook connector, and provides
pretty much everything Exchange does. At the time we tested it, there was
no web-based client, so we didn't go with it.
Zimbra is the best of the bunch, IMO/IME. The paid edition includes
Blackberry sync support, ActiveSync support, and Outlook connector, along
with more robust shared features. You can extend the functionality using
Zimlets (JavaScript plugins). And the web interface is top-notch. However,
you really need to install this on a 64-bit Linux server with lots of RAM.
There's also the OpenXchange server, but I've never tried it, and don't know
much about it.
IOW, you pretty much need to run a Linux server if you want a stable
groupware setup, without having to manage all the individual pieces.

There is an experimental port available, but it's not part of the FreeBSD
ports tree. You need to go to the Zimbra Wiki and follow the instructions
in there.

Postfix(with mysql support) & Dovecot work fine for me
Postfixadmin can be used as a config panel (ugly php - but works more or less)

you could try egroupware as an alternative to horde
http://sourceforge.net/projects/egroupware/
I think it supports syncml to integrate with Outlook and mobile devices.

I have tried the Darwin calendar and contact Server with FreeBSD recently - but would not recommend it in a productive enviroment

I ported zimbra to freebsd starting with 5.0.16 which is still running on one of my boxes. It was a patch designed to run - not for full integration and I lost my interest back then.
Starting with zimbra 6 i made a complete rewrite of the source tree to support freebsd natively, meaning no more crude hacks. I have been using and maintaining the wiki+patch since then (because i spent years looking for all-in-one-email freebsd solution). Zimbra team is pretty open to new ideas but there is no reason to support freebsd with no freebsd user-base. Use zimbra, we might get it once. Hell, it is supported on mac..
I am running 6.0.4 in production and I will gladly help anyone with installation. Linux rules the commercial skies nowadays so every little bit helps.
There is *absolutely* no reason for zimbra not to run correctly on freebsd because 99% of the code is fully portable, leaving behind only some linux-specific-scripts for statistics (disk,memory etc.). Please check http://www.zimbra.com/forums/installation/33477-zcs-6-0-1-ported-freebsd7.html for more info.
Zimbra offers mobile, html, ajax web interface. If your users prefer simple visual interface go for squirrelmail. Sadly, most users prefer flashy fancy stuff.

it is not experimental in terms of stability, it is just not that simple as "make install". but everything is stable until someone proves otherwise, right? ;)

Here's hoping that the patches are accepted by the Zimbra devs, and that it
eventually leads to a real, supported, bless-by-Zimbra port to FreeBSD. :)
We can always dream. :D
Zimbra on ZFS would be so nice.

i promised/offered zimbra i would completely rewrite the ThirdParty build process to make it even more other-than-linux-friendly. sadly, i don't have that much free time as i thought i would have and sadly2, i can't access the source code repository since vmware bought zimbra (that's the reason for nonexistent 6.0.5 patch) :(.
i stopped dreaming long time ago:
solko@[zmail /home/solko] # zfs list | grep zimbra
zfs/zimbra 27.1G 857G 13.8G /opt/zimbra
zfs/zimbra/index 295M 857G 295M /opt/zimbra/index
zfs/zimbra/store 13.0G 857G 13.0G /opt/zimbra/store
zfs/zimbrasrc 14.9G 857G 14.9G /home/public/p4
i will be migrating whole university to zimbra this month.
kind regards,
s.
