[Zhang Huangbin]

Dear all,

Just want to let you know, iRedMail is another choice when you need to deploy a full-featured mail server on OpenBSD. http://www.iredmail.org/

The new stable release, iRedMail-0.8.5, has been released, works on OpenBSD 5.3, so if you need to build a new mail server on OpenBSD, give it a try. Installation guide is here: http://www.iredmail.org/install_iredmail_on_openbsd.html

Short introduction:

1) iRedMail is a ZERO COST, fully fledged, full-featured mail server solution. All used packages are free and open source, provided Linux/BSD distribution venders you trust. On OpenBSD, all packages are installed with command 'pkg_add' from OpenBSD mirror site you set in PKG_PATH.

2) iRedMail is an open source project, released under GPLv2, source code is hosted on BitBucket: https://bitbucket.org/zhb/iredmail/

Used major open source softwares on OpenBSD:

* Postfix: SMTP service

* Dovecot: POP3/POP3S, IMAP/IMAPS, Managesieve service

* Apache (in base system): Web server

* MySQL/PostgreSQL: Storing application data and/or mail accounts

* OpenLDAP: Storing mail accounts

* ldapd(8): Storing mail accounts

* Amavisd: An interface between Postfix and SpamAssassin, ClamAV. Used for spam and virus scanning.

* Roundcube: Webmail

Benefits

* Zero cost, fully fledged and full-featured.

* Fast deployment in LESS THAN 1 MINUTE, easy to use and stable. View YouTube Video to check how easy it is.

* Control over your own data. You have all personal data on your hard disk, it is not on somebody else's storage medium.

* All components are free and open source softwares, and you get the bug fixes and updates of the used packages from the Linux/BSD distribution venders you trust, not iRedMail project.

* Works on both non-virtualized and virtualized boxes, e.g. VMware, Xen, KVM, OpenVZ, VirtualBox, with i386 and x86_64/amd64 support.

* Full-featured web admin panel - iRedAdmin-Pro. Online demo is available. You can setup mail server manually with the same softwares as used in iRedMail, but you cannot find a suitable web-based admin panel like iRedAdmin-Pro.

* Works on main stream Linux/BSD distributions. No matter you switch to which Linux/BSD distribution listed below, you can get the same mail server in few minutes.

Again, if you need to build a new mail server on OpenBSD, give it a try. Installation guide is here: http://www.iredmail.org/install_iredmail_on_openbsd.html
